"You actually think he will return?" Night Thearch was really interested.
Human nature couldn't withstand a test. Night Thearch believed that it was impossible for Zhou Wen to return when he faced a life-and-death situation.
Night Thearch really wanted to see the disappointed expressions of Li Xuan, Hui Haifeng, and company, so he wasn't in a hurry to get the dimensional creatures to attack. He wanted Li Xuan and company to slowly experience the process of going from hope to disappointment, and then from disappointment to despair.
However, not long after, Night Thearch suddenly realized that a figure was rapidly approaching Sea Return City from afar. The figure was none other than Zhou Wen, who had returned.
Zhou Wen hadn't really escaped previously. He only wanted to test if Night Thearch would really let him go or if he had some other scheme.
When Zhou Wen confirmed that he had really escaped and that Night Thearch wasn't chasing after him, he turned around and rushed back.
Li Xuan, Hui Haifeng, and Ya 'er were trapped. Zhou Wen wasn't willing to give up while he still had the ability to do something.
When Ya 'er saw Zhou Wen fly back, she was delighted.
Hui Haifeng and Li Xuan's expressions were very solemn. Zhou Wen's return meant that they needed to risk their lives. No matter what they could do, no matter how trivial it was, as long as it could play an insignificant role in the battle, they would work hard to do it.
"Why did you come back?" Night Thearch asked Zhou Wen with interest.
"I left something here. I came back to take it away," Zhou Wen said.
"What did you lose?" Night Thearch asked.
"People from Sea Return City," Zhou Wen said.
"Are they your family and friends?" Night Thearch asked.
"No, it's everyone in Sea Return City," Zhou Wen said seriously.
"Are you challenging my patience?" Night Thearch's voice turned cold. With his voice, darkness devoured the area outside Sea Return City again, bringing Zhou Wen into darkness.
He felt his body immerse in darkness again. Night Thearch seemed to be everywhere, existing in every corner of the darkness, but Zhou Wen didn't panic at all.
Since he dared to come back, of course, he wouldn't come back brainlessly to die. Regardless of whether it was useful or not, he had already thought of some ideas, and he wanted to give it a try.
"Absolute Defense can only last for half an hour at most, but that's only in theory. Under a powerful attack, due to the excessive consumption, Absolute Defense can only last for a shorter time. If I attack with all my might, you'll die in less than ten minutes. To be honest, I don't want that to happen, "Ye Di said.
"You can try and see if you can kill me in ten minutes." Zhou Wen seemed to be confident and wasn't afraid of Night Thearch's threat.
"Originally, I didn't want to kill you, but since you insist on seeking death, it's hard for me to keep someone who is destined to die in this world." As Night Thearch spoke, the illusory figure seemed to vanish. Truth Listener could no longer hear anything related to Night Thearch.
'Now, I have to think of a way to break through the darkness and find the Night Thearch's true body before the absolute defense of the Astral Dragon Armor disappears. Otherwise, if I can't even touch the Night Thearch's true body, there's no possibility of killing or severely injuring him.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Night Thearch couldn't be seen, but blades that resembled the night strangely appeared everywhere. They were like invisible blades of darkness that slashed at Zhou Wen's body.
Zhou Wen's body retreated repeatedly, but he couldn't see where Night Thearch was. He was like a ghost in the darkness, omnipresent, but he didn't have a real body. He couldn't be seen no matter how hard he looked.
Even a Terror-grade creature can't be completely without a body. Be it Ice Maiden or Yin Talisman King, they have their true bodies. Night Thearch definitely has his true body. It's just that I haven't found it. Where is his true body? Zhou Wen used Truth Listener to listen to the surroundings again, but he still didn't discover anything. Even when Night Thearch attacked him, Zhou Wen couldn't sense his existence.
How did he do it? Zhou Wen couldn't think of a reason, so he could only choose to give it a try.
The invisible blade in the darkness slashed at Zhou Wen's back again. Without even turning his head, Zhou Wen summoned a sword and slashed at his back.
The sword carried scarlet flames. It was none other than the Bronze Sparrow Sword he had just obtained.
The flames produced by the Bronze Sparrow Sword illuminated Zhou Wen's surroundings, but it was only limited to a very close range. Further away, it was still darkness.
The light of the flames couldn't completely expel the darkness, nor could he discover Night Thearch's figure nearby. A strange black palm shadow rushed out of Zhou Wen's shadow and slashed at his thigh.
Thankfully, the Astral Shell Dragon's armor blocked the strike. Otherwise, Zhou Wen's legs would probably have been severed.
Zhou Wen's body streaked out in the darkness. Although he was protected by Absolute Defense and wasn't really injured, the pain from his leg made Zhou Wen clearly know that the effects of Absolute Defense were weakening.
It was undoubtedly terrifying to fight someone who couldn't be seen or touched, but could injure or even kill him.
Although this strike wasn't effective, it didn't mean that it was useless. At the very least, Zhou Wen had already realized that the light emitted by the flames was still somewhat effective against the darkness.
However, the Mythical flames could only illuminate a radius of three feet around the Bronze Sparrow Sword. The area it could illuminate was very limited.
Furthermore, Night Thearch seemed to only be able to walk in the darkness. The strike just now was an attack launched from a dark shadow illuminated by the light.
Zhou Wen attempted to use the Bronze Sparrow Sword to attack from different directions, but he naturally failed to injure Night Thearch. However, he was certain that Night Thearch had to be in the darkness to launch an omnipresent attack. He had never appeared in the light.
Now, Zhou Wen was roughly certain that even if Night Thearch could attack in the light, he would definitely be unable to hide his body.
To defeat Night Thearch, he had to place him in the light.
However, the Bronze Sparrow Sword's flames weren't enough to illuminate all parts of Zhou Wen's body. Even if it was bright enough, there would be shadows. With shadows, there would be darkness. Night Thearch could still attack Zhou Wen through the shadows.
External light is useless unless my body can emit light. This doesn't seem difficult for me. Zhou Wen thought of his Life Soul, Primordial Human Sovereign.
As long as he fused with Primordial Human Sovereign, he could become an existence like a human-shaped sun. However, he didn't know how far Primordial Human Sovereign's light could illuminate.
However, even a foot of distance was enough. Without any blind spots in the darkness, Night Thearch should be able to see his true body if he attacked within a foot of distance.
