Mingyue, seeking revenge for Ji Shiyou, had been searching for Zhao Wumian in vain. Now that he had appeared before her, she naturally wouldn't let him go.
Looking at Zhao Wumian, Mingyue was enveloped in a murderous aura. Immediately, a clear, cold moonlight appeared on her body.
"Wangshu? Wangshu is on you!"
Seeing Mingyue, like a celestial maiden from the Moon Palace, bathed in the hazy moonlight, Zhao Wumian cried out in surprise.
It was Wangshu! The witchcraft inheritance clearly described every sacrificial artifact.
Not only were there texts, but also images, so Zhao Wumian recognized it at a glance.
The moonlight on Mingyue's body was the Wangshu he yearned for.
Thinking that fusing one more artifact would double his overall strength, Zhao Wumian laughed inwardly.
His original goal this time was to snatch back Jinwu and Fuguang, but he hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise.
He secretly vowed that today, no matter what, he had to obtain Wangshu.
"Sister, I'm here to help you!"
Seeing Mingyue confronting Zhao Wumian and Yue You in the air, one against two.
Baobao, worried about Mingyue, rapidly ascended from Fuguang Hall.
She arrived beside Mingyue, shouting that she was here to help.
"Go protect Hope City and stop Canglan. I'll kill Zhao Wumian, take Fuyuan and Cuiwei, and then I'll come to help you."
Mingyue saw that Yuan Que had already retrieved Canglan and was worried about Hope City below.
She needed to kill Zhao Wumian now and couldn't deal with Yuan Que. Only Fuguang could resist Canglan, so she quietly instructed Baobao.
"Alright, then be careful!"
Although Baobao was young, she had a broad perspective and understood the importance of Hope City.
Moreover, in her heart, Mingyue was an invincible existence, so she controlled Fuguang Hall and prepared to leave.
"Where do you think you're going? Since you're here, stay here too. It'll save me the trouble."
Seeing Jinwu, Fuguang Hall, and Wangshu all before him, Zhao Wumian was ecstatic.
He thought it would be perfect to take them all at once, making five treasures into six. Seeing Baobao about to leave, he naturally wouldn't agree.
With a thought, Fuyuan glowed brightly. Its five-colored feathers, like sharp blades, swept towards Baobao with a hurricane.
"Your opponent is me."
Mingyue waved her hand, and moonlight, like water, permeated everywhere, covering the area where they were in the air.
The moonlight formed a transparent barrier, trapping Fuyuan, Cuiwei, Yue You, and Zhao Wumian inside.
Fuyuan's attack on Baobao was also blocked by the moonlight. Baobao seized the opportunity to control Fuguang Hall and head straight for Yuan Que.
At this moment, Yuan Que, taking advantage of Mingyue's inability to split her attention and attend to him, once again unleashed Canglan, intending to smash the city walls.
Canglan spun and flew towards the city walls. Once it hit, the cracked walls would collapse.
That would be the moment the city fell, and the zombies could pour in.
Wen Qingtian had already left the central control room and arrived on the city walls. The battle had reached a point where command and monitoring were no longer necessary.
What he needed to do now was fight alongside everyone else, sharing the fate of Hope City.
Seeing Canglan, imbued with the power of the ocean, flying towards the city walls, all the esper abilities users stood on the walls, straightening their bodies, not a single one retreated.
They simultaneously activated their esper abilities, launching their most ferocious attacks at Canglan.
This was the city they had built with their own hands, their hope, their home.
Even if Hope City was destined to be destroyed, they would have to be killed first.
As long as they had a breath left, they would not allow the enemy to set foot in Hope City.
Because Hope City was their last refuge in the apocalypse, and it could not be trampled upon.
The colorful attacks on the city walls lit up like fireworks, and then extinguished like fireworks.
The ocean, containing all rivers, swallowed all their attacks, like streams and rivers, all absorbed by the oceanic power emanating from Canglan.
All attacks were absorbed and assimilated by the azure oceanic power, transforming into oceanic power and striking the city walls.
Just then, a golden flame appeared, enveloping that patch of azure.
The flames blazed fiercely. It was the Sun True Fire controlled by Baobao using Fuguang.
Although the oceanic power was surging, the Sun True Fire could scorch the heavens and boil the seas. Trapped by it, it could not advance an inch.
The two forces became locked in a stalemate in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, Yuan Que knew he had encountered a formidable opponent, but he did not panic.
After all, his Canglan had absorbed innate power and reached its peak state.
As for Fuguang, because it had been recognized by Baobao, it had remained on Yunmeng Mountain.
It had not undergone the baptism of innate power and was merely a half-finished product, unable to unleash its full might.
Therefore, Yuan Que calmly cast a spell, driving Canglan and increasing the output of oceanic power.
Canglan's brilliance flickered, and the azure oceanic power turned deep blue.
The golden Sun True Fire immediately loosened, trembling slightly, on the verge of dissipating.
"Baobao, hold on, we're coming to help you."
Seeing Baobao struggling, Ba Jiu and Jin Xi each unleashed a stream of fire.
The flames shot towards Fuguang Hall. Everyone stared in disbelief. Were they helping Baobao or harming her?
Of course, they weren't harming her. Both of them had reached level ten within Fuguang Hall.
This action was equivalent to a reverse feeding. They had also observed this earlier.
The oceanic power would assimilate their attacks into its own strength.
If their attacks on Canglan were ineffective, they would change their approach.
By channeling their power to Fuguang and then transforming it into Sun True Power for attack, they could provide assistance.
With the support of the two individuals' power, Baobao felt less strained, but the situation was still not optimistic.
After all, compared to Canglan, Fuguang lacked the blessing of innate power and was still a level below.
"Everyone, together, channel your respective powers into Fuguang Hall."
Wen Qiangtian roared, leading the way by sending his wind elemental power towards Fuguang Hall.
Seeing this, others activated their esper abilities one after another. In an instant, a dazzling array of powers, including metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, surged towards Fuguang Hall.
Fuguang Hall erupted with golden light. The Sun Fire that had trapped the oceanic power, which was about to extinguish,
after everyone's power was input into Fuguang Hall, began to burn fiercely again. The flames were ten times higher than before.
Originally, everyone's powers were mixed, containing the five elemental forces. After being refined by the Sun Fire of Fuguang Hall,
they unexpectedly generated innate power, causing Fuguang to upgrade by chance and return to its peak state.
Baobao felt Fuguang's power increase several times instantly, and her spirit was immediately invigorated.
She fully activated Fuguang, and the Sun True Fire blazed, ready to boil the sea.
Yuan Que suddenly felt the pressure. The opponent's power had suddenly increased, and he dared not be careless, releasing the full power of Canglan.
However, even the formidable Sun True Fire, capable of evaporating the sea, couldn't achieve this instantly.
Thus, the two sides entered a stalemate, unable to move.
Yuan Que, controlling Canglan, and all the esper abilities users of Hope City dared not cease their output of esper abilities.
They feared that a single mistake would allow the opponent to exploit an opening and lead to failure.
Meanwhile, Mingyue in the sky could not help them, because she too was locked in a stalemate.
