Crossing to Douqi Continent and walking sideways

The black figure rushed towards Xiao Muchen like a ghost, and the speed was so fast that it was like a black lightning that instantly tore through the heavy air in the cave, making a sharp sonic boom. The black long sword in his hand was wrapped in a gloomy evil spirit, like a poisonous snake hidden in the darkness, swiftly and fiercely approaching Xiao Muchen's throat. In this lightning moment, Xiao Muchen's heart suddenly shrank, and the blood in his body seemed to solidify instantly, and then burst out with all his potential. His waist muscles were tense, and he dodged sideways at an angle beyond the limit of ordinary people. His movements were so fast that only a residual image could be captured. The long sword brushed past his clothes, bringing a chill as sharp as a knife. The cold breath was like countless fine needles, piercing into his skin through the gaps in his clothes. His clothes were instantly cut into rags by the sword energy, almost cutting his throat, leaving a shallow blood mark.

"Who is it!" Ye Feng's eyes were as big as copper bells, and he glared at the black shadow with anger in his eyes, and then he roared. This roar was like thunder exploding in the narrow passage, making everyone's eardrums hurt, and even some fine stone chips fell from the stone walls on both sides of the passage. Ye Feng swung the mace fiercely and used the "Raging Storm Strike". In an instant, the fighting spirit in his body was like a surging tide, pouring into the mace with overwhelming force. The fighting spirit on the mace surged and instantly condensed into a violent tornado, with Ye Feng as the center, smashing towards the black shadow like a wild horse. The tornado was packed with powerful force, howling as it swept towards the black shadow. Wherever it passed, the surrounding air seemed to be wildly stirred by an invisible giant hand, making a loud buzzing sound like boiling water. Tiny cracks like spider webs instantly appeared on the stone walls on both sides of the passage, and stone chips fell off one after another.

The black shadow was not in a hurry. His figure flashed like a phantom. The speed was so fast that everyone felt that the black shadow in front of them was like a wisp of light smoke. In an instant, he easily avoided Ye Feng's attack. Then, he turned his body, and his movements were as strange and unpredictable as a ghost. The long sword in his hand made several tricky and sharp sword flowers, stabbing at Ye Feng like a poisonous snake. The sword flowers flashed with a cold light, as if it was a ghost fire from the Nine Nether Hell, with a chilling chill, as if it was going to strangle Ye Feng's life in an instant. Ye Feng noticed the sharpness of the sword moves, and hurriedly held the mace horizontally in front of him to resist. The crisp sound of "clang clang clang" was like a huge bell roaring in the ear, which made everyone's eardrums hurt. At the same time, sparks flew everywhere. The flying sparks fell on the ground, and instantly burned small holes in the ground. The powerful impact force was transmitted to Ye Feng's arm along the mace, causing his arm to feel numb. The muscles in his entire arm were trembling slightly. He couldn't help but secretly marvel at the power of the black shadow.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er's beautiful eyes instantly filled with murderous intent, revealing determination and perseverance, and then she shouted. She used the "Dancing Butterfly Sword" and flew towards the shadow as lightly as a dancing butterfly. The long sword in her hand flashed a dazzling cold light as she danced, and the sword shadows were like flying butterfly wings, stabbing at the shadow from different tricky angles, trying to disrupt his offensive. Each sword shadow contained her years of exquisite swordsmanship and vigorous fighting spirit. The seemingly light and graceful sword moves actually concealed deadly murderous intent, just like a butterfly flying through the flowers, which could inadvertently give the enemy a fatal blow.

Ling Shuang quickly formed seals with his hands, and his slender and well-defined fingers flew up and down like a nimble butterfly. The ice-type fighting spirit surged wildly, and the water molecules in the surrounding air were instantly frozen. He used the "Ice Prison Ten Thousand Kills", and in an instant, the temperature around him dropped sharply, as if he had instantly fallen from a warm spring day into an ice cellar. Countless sharp ice spikes suddenly protruded from the ground, like sharp arrows flashing with a cold light, shooting towards the black shadow. The ice spikes shuttled rapidly in the air, making a "rustling" sound, as if it was the whisper of the god of death. At the same time, huge ice blocks quickly condensed in the sky, and fell towards the black shadow with a force like a meteorite. As the ice blocks fell, the surrounding air was squeezed and made a sharp whistling sound, as if they were going to smash the black shadow into powder.

Chu Li was casting auxiliary spells with all her strength in the back. She changed her hand seals quickly and muttered something. Although her voice was not loud, it revealed a mysterious and ancient rhythm. A golden light curtain slowly spread out from her hands, like a blooming golden lotus, covering everyone. Runes flickered on the light curtain, emitting a soft and powerful force, as if she had put a layer of solid armor on everyone to enhance their defense. At the same time, her bright and intelligent eyes stared at the black shadow, trying to find flaws in the black shadow's every move and provide support for her companions. "Everyone be careful, this black shadow is very powerful, we can't panic!" Chu Li shouted loudly, with a hint of anxiety and worry in her voice, which was particularly clear in this tense and fierce battle atmosphere.

The black shadow was not afraid of being besieged by everyone. He moved freely among the ice ridges and sword shadows, as if he had merged into the chaotic battlefield. Every dodge was just right, which was amazing. The long sword in his hand danced, and the blade flashed with a strange black light, like a black lightning, breaking the ice ridges one by one. The sound of the ice ridges breaking was like glass breaking, crisp and piercing, and the ice chips splashed on the ground around, instantly turning into a pool of water. Occasionally, a few sword shadows stabbed at his side, but he cleverly blocked them with his sword. The seemingly random blocking accurately removed the power of the sword shadow, making the sword shadow disappear without a trace like a mud cow into the sea.

Xiao Muchen took the opportunity to adjust his state, circulated his fighting spirit, and performed the "Star Splitting Sky Slash". The long sword in his hand shone brightly, and it seemed that stars gathered around the sword body. Each star was shining with mysterious and powerful power. A sword energy containing the power of stars soared into the sky. The starlight in the sword energy was brilliant, as magnificent as the Milky Way pouring down. Then he slashed at the black shadow like a meteor. Wherever the sword energy passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, making a "sizzling" sound, as if the space was groaning in pain under this powerful force, and tiny black cracks appeared.

The shadow felt the powerful force of the sword energy and finally dared not underestimate it. The black aura on his body surged, and the black aura spread out from him like surging ink, forming a black shield. Runes flowed on the shield, exuding an evil and powerful aura, trying to resist the sword energy. The sword energy collided with the black shield, erupting with a deafening roar. The powerful energy fluctuations were like a bomb exploding, spreading out from the collision point. The surrounding rocks shattered under this energy fluctuation and turned into powder. The passage was filled with smoke and dust, and gravel flew everywhere. Everyone had to temporarily cover their eyes with their arms to resist the gravel and dust.

After a brief confrontation, the crowd and the black shadow were temporarily deadlocked. Xiao Muchen looked at the black shadow, his eyes full of vigilance and confusion: "Who are you? Why are you stopping us?" His voice was firm and powerful, but it echoed in this silent passage with a hint of echo, as if questioning the black shadow.

The black shadow let out a sinister laugh, which was like the cry of a night owl, creepy and echoing in the passage for a long time: "It doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that you can't leave with that ancient book. This thing doesn't belong to you." After saying that, the black shadow attacked again, faster than before. The long sword was like black lightning, and it stabbed towards Xiao Muchen with an indomitable momentum.

Xiao Muchen quickly used his sword to block. There was a loud "clang" sound, like a huge bell hitting. The powerful impact caused a sharp pain in his arm, and he involuntarily took a few steps back. His footsteps left several deep marks on the ground. He bit his lower lip tightly, tasting a hint of blood, and the muscles in his arms twitched slightly because of the pain. Seeing this, Ye Feng, Lin Wan'er and Ling Shuang surrounded the black shadow again and started a fierce battle with him. Ye Feng roared, and every time he swung the mace, he brought a thousand pounds of force. The mace swung in the air, bringing gusts of wind; Lin Wan'er was agile, and the sword shadows were like weaving, attacking the black shadow from all angles, trying to find his flaws; Ling Shuang kept casting ice spells, trying to freeze the black shadow, and ice cubes and ice spikes rained down on the black shadow.

Just as everyone was in a bitter battle with the black shadow, Chu Li suddenly discovered that the rhythm of the black shadow's attack seemed to have a subtle connection with the flickering runes on the rock. Her mind moved, and her brain worked rapidly, quickly piecing together all kinds of knowledge and clues in her mind. "Everyone listen, the rhythm of the black shadow's attack is related to the flickering of the rock runes. We can find a way to disrupt the runes, and maybe we can defeat him!" Her voice was filled with a hint of surprise and anxiety, and it stood out in the fierce battle, like a ray of light in the darkness.

Everyone was delighted when they heard this. Xiao Muchen was fending off the shadow's attack while thinking of a countermeasure. He found that every time the rock rune flickered, the shadow's attack would become stronger. So, he deliberately exposed a flaw, his steps were slightly disordered, and his body staggered slightly, to attract the shadow's attack.

The black shadow fell into the trap, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. He stabbed Xiao Muchen with a sword. The sword was extremely fast, and shot towards Xiao Muchen's throat like lightning. Xiao Muchen dodged sideways and scratched the rock with his sword, trying to disrupt the flashing rhythm of the rune. However, the black shadow seemed to have noticed Xiao Muchen's intention, and suddenly changed his move in the middle of the attack. He shook his wrist, turned the long sword, and attacked Ye Feng instead.

Ye Feng didn't expect the black shadow to suddenly change his target. He couldn't dodge in time and was scratched on the arm by the black shadow's long sword. Blood gushed out instantly, staining his sleeves red. The severe pain on his arm made him groan. "Damn it!" Ye Feng roared, ignoring the severe pain from the wound, and continued to swing the mace to attack the black shadow. The fighting spirit on the mace became more violent because of anger. Every swing brought a gust of wind, and the surrounding air was stirred up violently.

Lin Wan'er and Ling Shuang took the opportunity to attack the black shadow's back, and the black shadow had to draw back his sword to block. At this time, Xiao Muchen attacked again. This time, he saw the opportunity when the rune flashed and injected all his fighting spirit into the rock like a tide. The powerful fighting spirit impacted the energy flow of the rune.

The rhythm of the rune flashing suddenly became chaotic, and the originally regular flashing became chaotic. The black shadow's movements also slowed down for a moment, and this moment of slowness seemed like an eternity in the fierce battle. Xiao Muchen seized this opportunity and unleashed his strongest attack, "Starfall". A huge star sword energy fell from the sky, and the power of the stars in the sword energy gathered, hitting the black shadow like a real meteor. The black shadow wanted to dodge, but it was too late, and could only use his sword to resist with all his strength.

With a loud bang, it was like the sky collapsing and the earth splitting apart. The black shadow was hit by the sword energy, and the black shield instantly shattered, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated in the air. The whole person was knocked out and hit the rock heavily. Under this huge impact, spider-web-like cracks appeared on the rock, and some larger stones even fell off the stone wall and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, everyone was about to go forward to check, but suddenly, the black shadow turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared. The black smoke circled in the air for a few times, and then completely dissipated, as if it had never appeared, leaving everyone in the same place, full of doubts and vigilance.

"He ran away!" Lin Wan'er said with some annoyance, the sword in her hand drooping slightly, her eyes revealing unwillingness. She bit her lips tightly, feeling very sorry for the black shadow's escape.

"Don't worry about him for now, let's get out of here." Xiao Muchen said. At this time, the rock slowly moved away because the runes were disturbed, revealing the passage outside. The light outside the passage shone in, dispelling the darkness in the passage and bringing a glimmer of hope to everyone.

Everyone hurriedly walked out along the passage, but when they walked out of the cave, they were stunned by the scene in front of them. They saw thick smoke billowing in the direction of Wujing. The black smoke covered the sky of Wujing like a dark cloud, covering the sky and the sun, as if the end of the world was coming. The shouting and killing sounded deafening, and the sound seemed to be countless people shouting in pain, and it seemed like thousands of troops were fighting fiercely, which made people feel terrified. It seemed to be under a large-scale attack.

"Not good, Wujing is in trouble!" Xiao Muchen's face changed drastically, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart. His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, as if an invisible hand was tightly grasping his heart, and a strong sense of mission arose spontaneously.

"Could it be that the Soul Palace has taken action?" Ye Feng said anxiously. His brows were furrowed, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, his eyes were full of worry, and his fists were unconsciously clenched.

"No matter who it is, we must hurry back to help!" Xiao Muchen said. Without further hesitation, the crowd rushed towards Wujing. Along the way, they were extremely anxious, their pace became faster and faster, and they had only one thought in their mind: they must hurry back to save Wujing. They knew that Wujing was on the brink of life and death at the moment, and they were the hope of Wujing. The people of Wujing were waiting for them to rescue them, and they could not let down this trust and responsibility.
