CHAPTER 336: CHAPTER 336: ARAD IS IN BIG TROUBLE!

These bats, resembling shadows, let out sharp cries and suddenly swarmed towards Xilan, as if intending to devour him completely.

Xilan’s heart skipped a beat, a strong sense of crisis suddenly emerging.

It seemed that if these shadow bats managed to hurt his flesh, the consequences would be extremely severe.

Xilan roared, and a fierce Sword Intent burst from him like a hurricane, isolating all the shadow bats outside.

Li Haotian’s gaze hardened.

He could sense that the Sword Intent barrier emerging from Xilan was similar to the one released by Aganzo, though the feeling it gave was different.

One was heavy and fierce, the other sharp and keen.

This powerful and unique utilization, could it be the exclusive ability of those above the king level on the Arad Continent?

"Explode!"

With Xilan’s shout, the Sword Domain around him burst open, slicing all the shadow bats into pieces.

But in the next second, the fragmented shadow bats immediately turned into countless black smoke, gathering not far away.

The smoke cleared, and the silhouette of the witch Agalu reappeared, seemingly unharmed.

Even the black hair previously cut by Xilan had reverted, waving behind her like a wraith!

Upon witnessing this, Aganzo’s face turned grim.

He murmured, "Something’s not right!"

"Her powers are peculiar; even the Sword Domain can’t effectively harm her."

Bain was incredulous: "What is happening, why does she seem completely fine?"

"Even if she were using a clone, after being annihilated by Uncle Xilan’s Sword Domain, at the very least, she’d be severely weakened!"

Li Haotian’s eyes flickered.

For some reason, he felt the situation before him was strangely familiar.

Agalu’s cold gaze swept over Xilan, then over Li Haotian and others protected by Aganzo’s Sword Domain, her expression dark.

Because she hadn’t expected these folks who arrived later to be so powerful!

Her eyes flickered with ferocity, her voice eerie: "I underestimated you."

Agalu stared intensely at the sharp and intimidating Sword Domain around Xilan, suddenly sneering: "Your Sword Domain is indeed powerful, but the consumption must be significant, right?"

"I wonder how long you can keep it up!"

With that, Agalu vanished in a flash and instantaneously teleported near Xilan.

Since she couldn’t overpower him, she chose not to engage in a direct fight, focusing instead on wearing him down.

Xilan, with an intense gaze, transformed into red lightning and charged toward Agalu.

Agalu’s speed was inferior, and after a few exchanges, she was once again pushed into danger.

As Xilan’s sword severed her head, Agalu’s body again turned into numerous shadow bats.

But this time, the shadow bats had no intent to attack Xilan, instead scattering instantly, regrouping as Agalu emerged from the black smoke.

Agalu’s eyes were full of chill, not anxious at all, standing there waiting for Xilan to strike again.

Xilan’s face turned dark, feeling the predicament.

"Damn it! Such an eerie ability she possesses!"

"She isn’t particularly strong, yet she’s like gum, unchewable and sticking everywhere!"

Due to the earlier sense of danger, Xilan dared not dismiss the Sword Domain.

If his body became exposed without the barrier, a few nibbles from the shadow bats could mean unforeseen consequences.

At a king-level cultivation, the sense of crisis during battles was crucial for Xilan and others.

The shadow bats transformed by that woman are not something to recklessly engage with!

But if this stalemate continues, the massive consumption caused by maintaining the Sword Domain might cause Xilan, a king-level expert, to falter first.

At that point, the tide of battle would turn dangerous!

Agalu hovered like a spectre, maintaining a distance while interacting with Xilan.

If Xilan advanced, she’d evade rapidly.

If Xilan retreated, she’d press forward to entangle, always ensuring he maintains the integrity of the Domain to increase his consumption.

With a thud, Xilan cleaved Agalu into two once more.

Just as before, Agalu transformed again into countless bats in the distance, reformed, and walked out, unharmed, casting a chilling look at Xilan.

Facing this scenario, Aganzo’s expression grew heavier.

He, like Xilan, had to maintain his Sword Domain’s completeness.

Aganzo suspected that if he dared dismantle the Domain, Agalu would immediately switch targets, focusing on him and his companions.

Though with his king-level prowess, he wouldn’t fear Agalu.

But Bain and the half-elf girl, Celia, definitely wouldn’t withstand Agalu’s attacks; a slight misstep could spell trouble for the entire team!

As for Li Haotian, logically, given his mechanical expertise, he also shouldn’t be able to withstand Agalu’s attacks.

Yet for some reason, Aganzo felt this young man possessed means of self-preservation, likely leaving Agalu unable to deal with him.

Beside him, Bain and Celia’s faces also grew anxious.

Bain hastily asked, "Teacher, what should we do now?"

"That creature has resurrected countless times already, seemingly unkillable."

"Her strength isn’t lacking either; dragging on like this will likely turn the situation unfavorable for us!"

Meanwhile, Gorandis’s golden light gradually receded, and she stood up.

After catching her breath during the previous respite, she seemed to have controlled her injuries, her condition improving slightly.

Gorandis watched the constant conflict between the two with some distress: "When I fought her earlier, she also drained me in this manner."

"My Divine Power can restrain her, but she’s too cunning in fights, never engaging head-on, always teleporting away annoyingly."

Aganzo’s face was somber; after a moment’s silence, he quietly said, "If we can’t find a way to restrict her endless resurrection within ten minutes, we might have to prepare to retreat."

"Without the Sword Domain’s protection, we would immediately lose the initiative; it’s too risky."

Bain, gritting his teeth, was deeply unsatisfied: "Annoying, a mere Saint causing Uncle Xilan and the teacher to be helpless."

"What’s the origin of that Deregi, to grant her such bizarre powers!"

Li Haotian’s eyes brightened, fixated on Agalu entangled with Xilan.

Suddenly, with a serious tone, he said softly, "Perhaps, I know Deregi’s identity."

Everyone turned to him in surprise, "You know?"

Li Haotian nodded slightly: "The Arad Continent might be facing significant trouble!"

Aganzo’s face shifted slightly: "What do you mean?"

Li Haotian articulated clearly: "That Deregi, in all likelihood, is also a Demon Envoy!"
