Among the crowd of figures in black robes, the leader rapidly formed hand seals while chanting incantations under his breath. Instantly, a thick layer of black lightning surged around him, writhing like serpents and exuding a bone-chilling aura. Following his lead, the other black-robed men successively unleashed their respective lightning-attribute spells. For a moment, lightning flashed within the chamber, and the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations threatened to tear the very space apart.
Lin Yu showed no fear whatsoever, combining the power of his Nine Nether Dark Thunder Spiritual Root with the newly comprehended Thunder Lord Technique. The Asura Underworld Saber in his hand erupted with blinding black lightning, forming a small thunderstorm vortex around the blade. With a loud shout, Lin Yu swung his long blade, unleashing a black lightning blade charged with the power of the Nine Nether and the will of the Thunder Lord straight toward the black-robed leader. Wherever the lightning blade passed, the air was instantly torn apart, emitting a piercing, shrieking sound.
The black-robed leader's expression shifted slightly; he had not expected Lin Yu's attack to be so fierce. He hastily conjured a black lightning energy shield in an attempt to block the strike. With a deafening boom, the lightning blade struck the shield. The immense impact drove the black-robed leader back several steps, and countless fine cracks webbed across the surface of the shield.
