Chapter 466: Sealing Begins

Xu Tian, ​​like a demon freed from the depths of hell, exuded a chilling aura. His dark purple skin, illuminated by the sunlight, looked even more eerie and sinister, and every muscle seemed to hold the power to destroy heaven and earth. Despite the long and intense battle, his attacks, like a surging tide, showed no sign of abating, but instead grew increasingly violent.

"Roar!" Xu Tian's voice was deep and hoarse, like a curse from the Netherworld, filled with endless murderous intent. He then exerted force, sending Gao Jinghao back several steps.

Gao Jinghao steadied himself, calculating secretly in his mind. He knew that his physical strength and Qi were nearly exhausted. If he couldn't end this battle quickly, not only would his own life be in danger, but the entire Lingyuan City would be completely reduced to a dead and silent ruin.

At this critical moment, a dazzling streak of light streaked across the sky like a meteor, exploding in the air not far from Gao Jinghao. The multicolored light instantly illuminated the entire battlefield, and like the dawn of hope, it pierced Gao Jinghao's tired yet hopeful eyes.

"Finally..." Gao Jinghao muttered to himself, a flash of surprise in his eyes. He understood that Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao's sealing technique was finally ready.

Gao Jinghao took a deep breath, summoning the last ounce of his inner Qi, and channeling it unreservedly into his right fist. His fist slowly began to turn red, and the surrounding air seemed to ignite with this fiery energy, crackling. Steam curled up from his fist, like a volcano about to erupt, ready to erupt.

"Rock Flame Fist!" Gao Jinghao shouted, his voice echoing through the ruins, filled with power and determination. His fist, like a flaming meteor, struck Xu Tian's chest fiercely with unstoppable momentum.

"Boom!" With a resounding explosion, as if the sky were collapsing and the earth were splitting, Xu Tian's body flew backward like a kite with its string cut. The moment he was airborne, flames suddenly erupted from his chest and back. The flames were dark red, carrying a scorching smell, instantly incinerating the tattered clothes on his upper body.

Xu Tian fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Gao Jinghao stood there, gasping for breath. This blow had nearly exhausted all his strength. His legs trembled slightly, as if he would be swallowed up by this cruel battlefield at any moment.

However, Gao Jinghao didn't have time to breathe. He endured the excruciating pain and rushed towards Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao. His steps were staggering, yet incredibly firm, as if each step was based on his own heartbeat.

Xu Tian slowly climbed up from the ground, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness. He hadn't expected Gao Jinghao to have such a powerful attack. Seeing Gao Jinghao's fleeing figure, he roared angrily to the sky, the sound shaking the surrounding air buzzing.

"Roar!" Xu Tian roared, chasing Gao Jinghao like a mad beast. His speed was as fast as lightning, leaving a blurry afterimage on the ground.

Gao Jinghao felt Xu Tian approaching from behind and secretly groaned inwardly. He knew that Xu Tian was too fast. If he couldn't lure him into the sealing array as soon as possible, all his efforts would be wasted.

"I must hold on..." Gao Jinghao kept repeating to himself, gritting his teeth and running with all his might. His eyes were filled with determination and resolve. In order to save Lingyuan City, he was willing to sacrifice his life.

Finally, Gao Jinghao arrived in front of Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao. He rushed between them without hesitation, then braked suddenly and came to a steady stop. At this moment, he, Ming Zeshu, and Ding Junhao happened to be standing at the three corners of an equilateral triangle.

Gao Jinghao didn't even bother to rest. He immediately formed hand seals with both hands. His fingers danced nimbly, muttering something to himself. The surrounding air seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, forming a massive vortex. Mysterious runes shimmered brightly within the vortex, gradually converging into a powerful sealing array.

Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao were also well prepared. Their foreheads were covered with sweat, and their faces were pale as paper from excessive exhaustion. But their eyes were filled with determination and resoluteness.

"Roar!" Xu Tian's figure appeared before the three of them like a ghost. His eyes flashed with disdain and ridicule, as if everything before him was just a farce.

"Xu Tian, ​​today is your end!" Gao Jinghao shouted, and with a fierce push of his hands, he pushed the seal in his hands towards Xu Tian. Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao also exerted their strength at the same time, injecting their own power into the sealing magic circle.

Xu Tian's figure approached swiftly like a ghost, his eyes fixed solely on Gao Jinghao, oblivious to Ming Zeshu and Ding Junhao standing nearby. At this moment, he exuded a chilling aura, his dark purple Qi surging like a raging flame. As he neared Gao Jinghao, Xu Tian suddenly leaped forward, his body arcing through the air. He clenched his fist, the dark purple Qi intensifying as he swung it down towards Gao Jinghao with devastating force.

Just as Xu Tian's fist was about to land, Gao Jinghao, Ming Zeshu, and Ding Junhao's eyes suddenly flashed. They knew the moment had come! They quickly mobilized their internal Qi, injecting it into the sealing formation beneath their feet, which had been poised for action.

Instantly, a strange light blossomed beneath the three men's feet, instantly illuminating the connection between them. A triangle shimmering with mysterious runes slowly rose. Like a living thing, the triangle rapidly expanded upwards, forming a solid barrier in the blink of an eye, separating Gao Jinghao and Xu Tian.

Xu Tian's fist slammed heavily onto the barrier, making a dull thud. The barrier seemed invisible, yet possessed astonishing resilience. Xu Tian's full-strength attack caused only ripples like water. This sight drove Xu Tian completely mad. He let out a deafening roar, then began to pound the barrier frantically. Each of his attacks was accompanied by a violent surge of dark purple Qi, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

"Finally trapped you." Ming Zeshu panted, a look of tired relief on his face, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

Ding Junhao's eyes were filled with determination, and he gritted his teeth and said, "It's time to seal you up." He quickly formed seals with his hands and continuously channeled his own power into the sealing formation.
