The genius who counterattacked the mainland

After successfully defeating the Dark Messenger, Xu Tiancai and his companions continued to delve into the mysterious power within the ruins, knowing full well that this power might be the key to combating an even more powerful evil force that was about to arrive.

In the secret chamber of the ruins, everyone gathered together, discussing how to better utilize this mysterious power. Ling'er gently stroked the magic wand in her hand and said thoughtfully, "This mysterious power seems to have some strange connection with our respective magical attributes. Perhaps through further exploration, we can find a way to perfectly integrate it with our magic."

The archer nodded slightly, a hint of contemplation in his cold eyes. "But we must also be careful. Such a powerful force inevitably comes with huge risks. We can't act rashly and must conduct careful research."

Xiaoyan excitedly waved her magic book and said, "I think we can try some small experiments first to see what effect this mysterious power will have on our magic." Ziling sat quietly beside her, her long hair like ink and her eyes deep. She slowly said, "We also need to consider the possible side effects of this power. If it's not properly controlled, it may come back to harm us."

Xu Tiancai listened to his companions' discussion, constantly pondering countermeasures. He stood up, looked around, and said, "Everyone's talking makes sense. Let's start with some simple attempts, but we must remain vigilant. If we notice anything unusual, stop immediately."

So, they began their experiments cautiously. Ling'er first tried to combine her magic with the mysterious power. She waved her wand and chanted a spell, and a brilliant light emanated from it, resonating with the mysterious power. Under the light, the air around them seemed to become more spiritual and alive.

The archer, unwilling to be outdone, drew his longbow to its full extent, infusing the arrow with mysterious power. As the arrow shot out, a powerful gust of air followed its shadow, leaving a deep mark on the wall.

Xiaoyan summoned her wind elemental pet, allowing it to come into contact with the mysterious power. Under the influence of the mysterious power, the wind elemental pet became more active and faster.

Zi Ling used elemental magic to infuse mystical powers into various elements. With the blessing of mystical powers, the power of elements such as fire, ice, and lightning increased greatly.

After some experimentation, they discovered that the mysterious power could indeed greatly enhance their magical prowess. However, as they had feared, this power also brought with it some instability. During their experiments, magic occasionally went out of control, forcing them to be even more cautious.

Just as they were immersed in their study of the mysterious power, a sudden noise came from outside the ruins. Everyone immediately became alert, knowing that a new danger was approaching.

Xu Tiancai led his companions out of the secret room and arrived at the entrance of the ruins. They saw a group of soldiers in black armor approaching the ruins. Each of these soldiers had a cold look in their eyes, and exuded an evil aura.

"Oh no, it's the enemy!" The archer immediately drew his bow and arrow, ready to fight.

Xu Tiancai frowned and said, "It seems our actions have attracted the enemy's attention. Everyone, prepare to fight. We can't let them destroy our research."

A fierce battle immediately erupted between the two sides. The black-clad soldiers were numerous and well-trained, and they coordinated well, launching a fierce attack on Xu Tiancai and his men. Although Xu Tiancai and his men were powerful, they gradually fell into trouble under the enemy's siege.

During the battle, Xu Tiancai discovered that the attack methods of these black-clad soldiers were somewhat similar to those of the dark messengers he had encountered before, and he couldn't help but feel an ominous premonition. Could these soldiers also be the subordinates of a more powerful evil force?

Ling'er cast a spell, creating a protective shield for everyone. Zi Ling used elemental magic to summon a powerful storm, attacking the black-clad soldiers. Archers fired arrows relentlessly, accurately hitting the enemy's vital points. Xiao Yan also summoned her various magical creatures to assist in the battle.

Despite their desperate resistance, the black-clad soldiers seemed to be endless, pouring towards them in wave after wave. Xu Tiancai knew that this was not a solution and they had to find a way to break out.

Just when they were in dire straits, the Thousand Faces Man reappeared. He cast a powerful spell, driving back the black-clad soldiers. He looked at Xu Tiancai and the others and said, "I knew you would be in danger, so I rushed to help. These soldiers are the vanguard of the evil forces, and their goal is to prevent you from mastering the mysterious power."

Xu Tiancai said gratefully, "Thank you, Thousand Faces Man. If you hadn't appeared in time, we might have been in danger."

The Thousand Faces Man waved his hand and said, "Now is not the time to say thank you. We must leave here as soon as possible and find a safe place to continue studying the mysterious power."

Everyone nodded in agreement, and under the leadership of the Thousand Faces Man, they quickly left the ruins. During their escape, they were constantly pursued by black-clad soldiers, but with the Thousand Faces Man's magic and everyone's cooperation, they were able to escape danger time and time again.

After a difficult journey, they finally reached a secluded valley. The valley was quiet and surrounded by dense forests, making it difficult for the enemy to detect them. They decided to rest here temporarily and continue their research on the mysterious power.

In the valley, Xu Tiancai and his companions once again devoted themselves to exploring the mysterious power. They constantly tried various methods, trying to find a more stable way to utilize this power. After a period of hard work, they finally made some progress.

Ling'er discovered that through specific magical incantations and hand gestures, she could better control the mystical power and fuse it with her own magic. The archer discovered the optimal method for infusing his arrows with mystical power, greatly enhancing their power. Xiaoyan and her wind elemental pet also developed a more coordinated rapport, better harnessing mystical power in battle. Ziling further mastered the art of combining mystical power with elemental magic, creating even more powerful magical attacks.

However, they don't know that a more powerful evil force has already noticed their whereabouts. The leader of the evil force decides to personally take action to completely eliminate Xu Tiancai and others and prevent them from mastering the mysterious power.

On a dark night, the leader of the evil forces led his elite troops to quietly surround the valley. When Xu Tiancai and others were still sleeping, the enemy suddenly launched an attack.

A fierce roar of fighting startled Xu Tiancai and the others from their sleep. They immediately grabbed their weapons and prepared to fight. However, the enemy was too numerous and too powerful, and they were soon in dire straits.

Xu Tiancai looked at his companions around him, his heart filled with worry. He knew that this was the most severe challenge they had ever faced. But he also understood that they could not retreat and must bravely face the enemy.

At this critical moment of life and death, Xu Tiancai suddenly came up with a solution. He decided to harness the power of a mysterious force and perish alongside his enemy. He shared his idea with his companions, and while they were reluctant, they knew it was their only option.

Xu Tiancai concentrated his energy, channeling the mysterious power into his body. His body began to radiate a powerful light, as if transformed into a giant ball of energy. He looked at his companions and said, "Goodbye, my friends. May our sacrifice bring peace to the Jianghu."

With that, Xu Tiancai rushed towards the enemy. Under his influence, a mysterious force erupted instantly, enveloping the enemy. After a burst of intense light, everything returned to calm.

Did Xu Tiancai and the others sacrifice themselves? Was the more powerful evil force completely eliminated? What will be the future of the martial arts world? Everything is still unknown...
