Rift: Countdown to Doomsday

As night falls, the moonlight sprinkles on the earth like water, making the whole world seem exceptionally peaceful. However, beneath this tranquility, there is a sense of uneasiness hidden.

"Everyone be careful, there's something wrong here." Ling Feng gently reminded his companions. They were heading to an abandoned castle, which was said to be a gathering place for evil forces.

Xuewu frowned. She could feel a strong dark energy in the air. "Lingfeng, should we investigate first?"

Ling Feng nodded, "Okay, let's split into two groups and act carefully."

They were divided into two groups, Lingfeng, Xuewu and Lieyan in one group, and Lanya and Ailin in another group, approaching the castle from different directions. The castle looked shabby, with vines all over the walls, but it exuded a strange aura.

"Ling Feng, look over there." Lie Yan pointed ahead, where there was an area emitting a dim light. Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and observed carefully, discovering that it was a dark barrier.

"This barrier doesn't seem simple. Xuewu, can you see anything?" Ling Feng asked.

Xuewu closed her eyes and said after a moment: "This is the work of the Dark Lord. His barrier is difficult to break. Be careful."

Suddenly, a cold wind blew, and several figures flashed from the shadows. They were the shadow assassin's men.

"It seems we have been discovered." Ling Feng sneered, "Everyone prepare for battle!"

The enemy quickly surrounded them, and the battle was about to break out between the flashes of swords and sabers. Ling Feng swung his sword with all his might, Xue Wu used magic to blend ice and fire, and Lie Yan fought with his powerful physical skills.

"Erin, we must reunite with them as soon as possible!" Lan Ya said to Erin anxiously. They were being besieged by another wave of enemies, and the situation was not optimistic.

Irene swung the giant sword vigorously and repelled an enemy, "Let's go, we can't let Lingfeng and the others fight alone!"

In the battle, Ling Feng showed his excellent fighting skills, and the enemies fell to the ground one after another with the flash of sword shadows. However, the number of enemies was too large, and new enemies kept emerging from the darkness.

"We can't go on like this. We must find the core of the barrier, otherwise the enemies will continue to come." Xuewu said while casting magic.

Ling Feng nodded, his eyes firm, "Let's split up, I'll go find the core of the barrier, you cover me."

"Lingfeng, be careful!" Xuewu shouted worriedly.

Ling Feng did not look back, he knew that time was running out and he had to find the core of the barrier as soon as possible. He quickly passed through the enemy's encirclement and ran into the castle.

Deep inside the castle, Ling Feng finally found the core of the barrier, which was a crystal that shone with dark light. Next to the crystal stood a tall black shadow, who was none other than the Dark Lord's deputy, Commander Mo Zu.

"You're finally here, Ling Feng." Commander Mo Zu sneered, "But do you think you can destroy my barrier by yourself?"

"Just try it and you'll know!" Ling Feng was not afraid at all. He pointed his sword at Commander Mo Zu, ready to fight.

The two of them fought quickly. Although Ling Feng was powerful, Commander Mo Zu was no ordinary man either. The battle was extremely fierce. At this time, Xue Wu and others also arrived. Seeing the battle between Ling Feng and Commander Mo Zu, they immediately stepped forward to support them.

"Go and destroy the core of the barrier, I will deal with him!" Ling Feng shouted loudly.

Xuewu nodded, and she, Lieyan, and Lan Ya quickly surrounded the crystal. Commander Mo Zu tried to stop them, but was stopped by Lingfeng.

"It's not that easy to destroy my barrier!" Commander Mo Zu roared, and the dark energy condensed into a huge black sickle in his hand, slashing towards Ling Feng fiercely.

Ling Feng dodged sideways, and the long sword swung and collided with the sickle, sparks flew. Instead of retreating, he advanced, and the sword energy burst out, forcing Commander Mo Zu back a few steps.

"Xuewu, now!" Ling Feng shouted.

Xuewu injected the magic power in her hand into the crystal, and the crystal began to vibrate violently, and cracks gradually spread. Lieyan and Lan Ya also attacked with all their strength, and finally with a loud bang, the crystal shattered and the barrier was broken.

“Ah——” Commander Mo Zu let out a scream, then turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared into the air.

Ling Feng let out a long sigh and walked over to Xue Wu and the others, "We succeeded."

Xuewu smiled with satisfaction, "Yes, we did it."

"But this is just the beginning. The Dark Lord is still here and we must keep moving forward." Ling Feng looked into the distance with a firm look in his eyes.

"That's right, we will always be with you." Xuewu held Lingfeng's hand, and the others nodded.

Ling Feng smiled slightly, "Then, let's continue our adventure."

In the night, the backs of the group gradually moved away, heading towards an unknown future. They knew that there were more challenges waiting ahead, but as long as they united, they would be able to defeat all evil and usher in a bright future.
