Inside the Tidal Gate in Lin Sheng’s mind, the massive soul power transformed into pure, holy power before gushing out in a steady stream. It spread, then turned into a pillar of light enveloping the black tower. It was not intense, but for the ordinary dark spirits, it was lethal.

 A minute later, the light beam gradually faded. Lin Sheng took the lead, riding a horse heading toward the black tower.

 A large group of dark spirits at the back looked at the Djall Demonhand, waiting for instructions. Coming out of his shock, the leader of the Demonhand family fought back his fear, raising and throwing his hand forward. “Charge! Protect the master!”

 Most of the dark spirits of the Demonhand family were humanoids. They looked a little awkward, not knowing what to say because Djall’s bootlicking was so obvious. They could not bear to see it.

 The dark spirits were hesitant. Not that they did not dare, but because they were unsure whether the master would like it. What if he wanted to show off his strength? Their ‘help’ would only be a ludicrously false move.

 Did they have a way out?

 After witnessing Lin Sheng’s feat of killing tens of thousands of dark spirits, the dark spirits of the Demonhand family became cautious. They were just small fry to their master.

 However, Lin Sheng could not have cared less. Riding his Gorefiend horse he came before the entrance of the black tower.

 The gatekeeper was a five-meter-tall giant with the head of a panther. He was covered in blood; the light had wounded him, apparently. Half-kneeling on the ground, it stared at Lin Sheng as he approached.

 “Let out of the way.” Lin Sheng made the horse walk up before the half-human half-leopard guard, looking down at it through the helmet.

 “A meaningless death won’t earn you your victory.”

 The panther head growled, wanting to stand up, but its body was too big and heavy. It had been exposed to the light too much and badly wounded.

 With just a slight movement, black smoke rose from its body. To the dark spirits, black smoke was akin to blood to humans. The more black smoke they lost, the weaker they would become.

 The humanoid panther looked like a column of smoke that rose into the sky. It growled and struggled to get up.

 Unfortunately, when Lin Sheng shook the reins, the Gorefiend beneath him raised its blood hoofs and stomped down. Whitish shock waves spattered from under the blood hoofs.

 An invisible force field permeated the air, covering an area of a twenty-meter radius, including the humanoid panther.

 The humanoid panther’s expression changed. It fell face-down on the ground. An invisible force paralyzed him, it was as if a mountain had fallen on him.

 At last, the humanoid panther could not stand the pressure anymore, blood spurting from his mouth and nose and turning into plumes of black smoke. Breath was leaving him. Lying on the ground, its eyes gradually lost their focus, and it was losing its vitality.

 Lin Sheng rode the Gorefiend, moving past the humanoid panther toward the entrance of the black tower.

 An invisible force field forced the door to burst inward, killing one-third of the remaining dark spirits inside with screams of fear and agony reverberating in the air.

 Seeing black smoke that represented death rose in the hall, the dark spirits of the Demonhand quaked in their boots. Lin Sheng’s natural force field alone was this damagingly powerful, let alone when he used his real skills.

 “Kill him! Kill him! He has exhausted so much power. Do you think he can keep using this magic? There is a limit to it for sure!” A flame-like purple dark spirit floated in the air, speaking its mind.

 “No one can ignore our determination! Kill him!” A tall dark spirit with a black tiger head shoved away its mates and charged at Lin Sheng with a war hammer in hand.

 An invisible force field around Lin Sheng killed every single dark spirit that surrounded him, turning them black smoke and minced meat.

 With the death of so many dark spirits, no one else in the black tower dared to come near Lin Sheng, save for those reckless guys. The really tough ones had been mostly wiped out earlier.

 Still on horseback, Lin Sheng went round the black tower and came to a small square. Along the way, he found many dark spirit beads on the ground. He picked them up. The earlier fighting had consumed some of them.

 The Gorefiend warhorse walked to the center of the square. There were no dark spirits around here. Even if there were, Lin Sheng’s light column would have purified them earlier.

 Following Lin Sheng’s instruction, Djall Demonhand and co stayed around to gather the dark spirit beards. There were tens of thousands of dark spirit beads around the black tower, gathering all of them would be a daunting task. So Lin Sheng figured he had better leave the task to Djall and co.

 “Reveal yourself!”

 Lin Sheng stopped in the center of the square and shouted. The square shook as if there was an earthquake or some behemoth approaching.

 The square suddenly rose and burst apart as a black-gray giant shadow broke out from the ground. Earlier, it had wanted to come out from under Lin Sheng’s feet, but his powerful force field forced it to back away. At last, it had no choice but to choose to rise from another position.

 The giant shadow rose into the sky, flying in a circle as it looked down.

 Everyone saw what the giant creature was; it was a bird, black-gray, and massive. An eagle head hung from each of its filament-like necks, and there were many of them. The body of the weird bird was fat, dotted with pustules and scars. It looked like a headless bird, but with tentacles around its neck.

 “My name is Kund. Outsiders, how dare you kill my people. You must die!”

 The weird bird swooped down from the sky, with its thin necks twirling like raindrops toward Lin Sheng. Every neck produced a low but loud whistle, and they were apparently powerful.

 As the thin necks bit down, the slabs in the squares broke up and dust and debris rose into the air. The vision and perception of every dark spirit distorted under the powerful influence of the impact force. No one knew what was happening in the middle of the square.

 When the dust settled, their perception and vision gradually returned. Lin Sheng was still on horseback, unscathed and in the same spot as before as if the earth-shattering attack was just an illusion.

 “It’s not true! No! You…” the weird bird shrieked in disbelief in the air. It had never expected this; its attack could not even get close to him.
