Acai's Sky

Chapter 976: City God Temple? Yellow Spring Ferry 3

Ah Cai stared at the soul of the little boy with empty eyes in front of her. The childhood scenes full of laughter and vitality in the past overlapped with the miserable appearance of being trapped in the underworld at this moment. She felt a pang of sadness in her heart, as if she was hit by a heavy hammer.

These souls are bound by their painful past and cannot be freed, so they struggle in this dark place.

Ah Cai secretly vowed to help these poor souls fulfill their wishes, so that they could be liberated and return to peace.

Just when Ah Cai successfully collected the last obsessed soul, a deafening roar suddenly came from the direction of the coffin, as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was splitting apart.

It turned out that because of the delay in time, the chance of the soul in the coffin waking up increased significantly, the seal of the coffin loosened ahead of time, and three zombies broke out of the ground.

Their bodies were stiff and their movements were slow, yet they carried an inexplicable strange power, and every step they took caused the ground to tremble slightly.

Their limbs were swinging in an uncoordinated manner, and their joints were making creaking sounds. They were like rusty machines, pouncing towards the crowd with their fangs and claws bared.

When Acai and others heard the loud noise, their faces changed suddenly and they immediately turned around and ran towards the main hall.

At this time, Qin general Bai Qi and others had already started a fierce battle with the zombies.

Qin General Bai Qi was agile, the sword of Zhuxian flashing with cold light in his hand. Every swing of his sword brought with it a sharp sword energy, and it made a dull sound when it hit the zombies.

Qin general Li Xin was not to be outdone. He stabbed the zombies' vital points with his long spear as sharp as a dragon. For a moment, the shouts of killing shook the sky in the main hall.

Ah Cai was extremely anxious, knowing that she had to weaken the power of the Old City God as soon as possible to gain an advantage in the next BOSS war.

She quickly ran to the headless statue and carefully injected the collected obsession souls into the skull slot of the statue.

However, the moment she injected the soul, a powerful and evil aura suddenly rose.

The ghost corpse guarding the temple? The shadow of the old city god slowly emerged above the headless statue. He was huge, surrounded by thick black fog. The pen in his hand flashed with a strange red light, exuding a chilling murderous intent. He launched the "Pen of Judgment" skill directly at Acai.

Qin General Bai Qi had been keeping an eye on Ah Cai's safety. Seeing this, his eyes were bloodshot and he shouted, "My Lord, be careful!"

He swung the Zhuxian Sword violently, creating a sword shadow, trying to block the deadly red light.

But the red light was extremely fast, passing like lightning and instantly covering Ah Cai.

Ah Cai felt a bone-chilling chill running from the soles of her feet up to her heart, and the blood in her body seemed to freeze.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded rapidly in her ears, telling her that she would be killed instantly in 10 seconds.

At the critical moment, Tong Shiqi reacted quickly and threw out a talisman without hesitation.

The talisman drew a golden arc in the air, accurately catching the red light that enveloped Acai and successfully transferring it.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but the tense atmosphere still permeated the entire main hall.

When the old city god saw that his attack was resolved, he became furious. His shadow shook violently, and he muttered something, activating the "Breath of the Yellow Spring" skill.

Instantly, the ground began to tremble violently, and countless water ghosts emerged from the ground. These water ghosts were soaked, their skin was pale, and their hair was tangled like seaweed. They let out a creepy scream and surrounded everyone with their fangs and claws bared.

Ah Cai remained calm in the face of danger. Her eyes were firm and calm as she shouted, "Concentrate your firepower on attacking the Old City God's weak points! The Mechanical Tribe, use your energy cannons. Qin generals, protect the Mechanical Tribe members and prevent them from being attacked by the Water Ghosts!"

When everyone heard the order, they quickly adjusted their status and began to act in an orderly manner.

Qin generals Bai Qi and Li Xin were like two sharp blades, charging left and right among the group of water ghosts.

Every time Qin General Bai Qi swung his Zhuxian Sword, he could push back the surrounding water ghosts by several meters; Qin General Li Xin's spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea, and every shot was deadly, opening up a safe output channel for the members of the mechanical clan.

The Qin generals Meng Tian and Meng Yi stood back to back, forming an indestructible human wall.

Qin general Meng Tian kept thrusting out with the spear in his hand, knocking away the approaching water ghosts one by one; Meng Yi held up a heavy shield, blocking the water ghosts' wave after wave of attacks, leaving deep scratches on the shield from the water ghosts' scratches.

The members of the Mechanical Clan were operating their energy cannons at full power. The muzzles flashed with dazzling blue light, and beams of energy shot towards the Old City God's weaknesses like lightning.

However, Ah Cai keenly observed during the fierce battle that although everyone's attacks caused some damage to the Old City God, his recovery ability was extremely strong and the wounds were almost instantaneous.

If this continues, it will be extremely difficult to defeat him within the specified time.

Just as Ah Cai was racking her brains, she suddenly remembered the clue she had obtained when collecting souls.

Those tragic stories and obscure hints kept emerging in her mind at this moment.

She realized that these clues might be the key to defeating the Old City God.

Ah Cai didn't have time to think about it and quickly shared the clue with everyone. After hearing it, everyone was excited and immediately began to adjust their tactics based on the clue.

Qin general Bai Qi stared at the missing head of the old City God statue with a sharp gaze, waiting for the best opportunity.

Finally, he took advantage of the moment when the old city god's body shook, shouted loudly, and the Zhuxian sword in his hand pierced straight into the key point like a stream of light.

At the same time, Acai injected the last soul into it without hesitation.

The old City God let out a shrill scream, which echoed throughout the City God Temple and hurt everyone's eardrums.

His body began to tremble violently, and the black mist on his body gradually dissipated as if blown away by a strong wind.

Seeing this, the people's morale was greatly boosted. They seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and launched an all-out attack. For a moment, all kinds of attacks fell on the old city god like raindrops.

Finally, at three quarters before midnight, as the old city god let out his last wail, his shadow slowly dissipated, and everyone successfully defeated this powerful BOSS.

With the fall of the old City God, the shaking of the City God Temple gradually ceased, the beams and pillars stopped swaying, and the tiles stopped falling. The mist over the Yellow Springs River also slowly dissipated, and the sun pierced through the clouds, shining on this land that had experienced hardships.

Acai and the others successfully completed their mission and obtained the Soul-Suppressing Nail. They knew that a more difficult task awaited them: to suppress the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons that had escaped into the human world.

But at this moment, their hearts are filled with the joy of victory and the courage to move forward.

Ah Cai held the little glutinous rice ball in her arms and stood at the gate of the City God Temple, looking at the pale sky rising in the distance. The soft light sprinkled on her tired yet relieved face.
