The genius who counterattacked the mainland

Xu Tiancai's shout echoed across the fierce battlefield. Although the crowd was battered by the dark forces, they still heard his words. While struggling to resist the surging dark forces, they pondered the meaning of Xu Tiancai's words.

Seeing this, the mysterious man in black robe let out a low laugh, which seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, revealing endless mockery: "Do you think you still have a chance? In the face of absolute dark power, everything is in vain." He increased the output of dark power, and the black wave became more turbulent, as if it would swallow up the entire world.

Xu Tiancai's eyes were as sharp as torches. He shuttled through the gaps between the dark forces, trying to keep his body steady, and shouted to everyone, "I've seen it on the mysterious mountain. The Sword of Creation has its origins. The artifacts related to it may be the key to our victory over him. We must look for clues while fighting!" When everyone heard this, a glimmer of hope ignited in their hearts. They began to pay attention to everything around them, trying to find clues that might be related to the artifact on this chaotic battlefield.

Lin cast a wind magic spell, creating a massive vortex of wind around them. The vortex spun at high speed, temporarily blocking some of the dark forces' impact. She closed her eyes and carefully felt the wind flow across the battlefield. Suddenly, she noticed something unusual about the wind's movement in the northeast direction of the battlefield. It seemed as if a mysterious force was drawing the wind elements there. "Something's happening in the northeast!" Lin shouted.

Everyone looked northeast and saw an ancient castle, shrouded in darkness. A faint light flickered atop the castle, a light that stood out against the surrounding darkness. "There might be a clue there! Let's rush over!" Xu Tiancai wielded the Sword of Creation and rushed towards the castle.

Ah Gang followed closely behind Xu Tiancai, the golden fighting spirit on his battle axe burning even more vigorously, like a roaring golden war lion, clearing a path for the others. He swung his battle axe, slashing at the approaching dark creatures one by one, their remains reduced to ash under the burning golden fighting spirit.

The Ice Princess waved her wand and chanted an ice spell. Instantly, vast ice bridges formed beneath everyone's feet, stretching toward the castle. Everyone ran across them, their speed increasing. The Ice Princess summoned ice giants to guard both sides of the bridges, blocking the dark creatures surging from below.

The mysterious figure formed hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light swirled and merged in his palms, forming small energy shields that were distributed around everyone. These shields flickered under the impact of the dark force, but they always held firm, protecting everyone from direct damage from the dark force.

The white-clad figure played his flute faster and faster, the sound transforming into gigantic birds of light. These birds circled overhead, their bodies radiating a dazzling light, illuminating the path ahead. Occasionally, they swooped down upon the dark creatures, tearing them apart with their sharp beaks and claws.

The mysterious figure in black robes saw the crowd rushing toward the castle, a cold glint in his eyes. With a wave of his hand, a group of dark knights rushed out from the darkness. Encased in black armor, they rode black warhorses whose eyes burned with green flames. Wielding black spears, they charged at the crowd.

Xu Tiancai bore the brunt of the attack. Facing the Dark Knight charging in front, he unleashed his soul power and flashed behind him. With a swing of the Sword of Creation, a flash of multicolored light cleaved the Dark Knight and his horse in two. But more Dark Knights surged forward, their spears raining down upon the crowd.

Agang roared, leaping into the group of dark knights. His battle axe swung with impenetrable force, severing spears with each swing. He engaged the dark knights in close combat, his golden fighting spirit colliding with the black power, sending up showers of dazzling sparks.

Lin controlled the wind vortex to roll towards the dark knights. The powerful suction pulled the dark knights off their horses and then sucked them into the vortex. Under the high-speed rotation, the dark knights' armor was cut into pieces by the wind blades.

The Ice Princess commanded the Ice Giant to charge towards the Dark Knight. The Ice Giant's huge fist smashed at the Dark Knight, and each punch could smash several Dark Knights into pieces. The Ice Phoenix also swooped down from the sky, its claws and ice-like feathers easily piercing the Dark Knight's armor.

The mysterious figure rapidly shifted hand seals, and the forces of darkness and light formed a massive energy blade in his hands. He swung the blade, sweeping it across the group of dark knights. Wherever the blade struck, the dark knights were split in two, and the forces of darkness and light intertwined and annihilated each other on their remains.

The white-robed man's flute music became more passionate, and the light birds transformed into arrows of light, shooting towards the dark knights. The light arrows were as dense as raindrops, and the dark knights fell one after another under the attack of the light arrows.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the Dark Knights were repelled. But the mysterious figure in black robes refused to give up. He cast his dark magic once more, sending countless black meteors cascading down from the sky. These meteors, trailing long, black tails, hurtled towards the group. Each one held a powerful dark force, and upon landing, it was certain to cause a massive explosion.

Xu Tiancai stared at the black meteor in the sky, his brow furrowed. He plunged the Sword of Creation into the ground, muttering something, and then continuously poured his soul power into the sword. The Sword of Creation shone with a multicolored light, forming a massive semicircular shield that enveloped everyone.

Black meteors rained down on the light shield, each impact triggering a powerful energy surge. The light shield trembled constantly under the impact of the meteors. Xu Tiancai felt his soul power rapidly depleting, but he gritted his teeth and persevered, knowing that if the light shield shattered, everyone would be in dire straits.

Ah Gang walked over to Xu Tiancai and injected his Dou Qi into the light shield. His golden Dou Qi merged with the light of the Sword of Creation, making the light shield more stable. "Brother, let's hold on together!" Ah Gang shouted.

Lin, the Ice Princess, the mysterious figure, and the man in white all exerted their powers, infusing the shield with energy. Lin's wind element formed a flowing shield across the shield's surface, mitigating the impact of the meteor impact. The Ice Princess's icy magic hardened the shield, resembling an ice crystal. The mysterious figure's dark and light forces formed energy veins within the shield, enhancing its resilience. The man in white's flute music transformed into runes that clung to the shield, strengthening its defenses.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the light shield finally withstood the attack of the black meteor. When the last meteor disappeared, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew that the danger was far from over.

They continued toward the castle, which was now within sight. The castle's gates were tightly closed, engraved with ancient runes and patterns. These runes exuded a mysterious aura, as if guarding the castle's secrets.

Xu Tiancai walked to the gate and reached out to touch the rune on it. The moment his hand touched the rune, it suddenly shone with light, and a force emanated from the door, knocking him back a few steps. "This door has a powerful seal. We need to break it before we can enter," Xu Tiancai said.

Everyone gathered in front of the gate, carefully examining the runes. A mysterious figure frowned and said, "I seem to have seen these runes in ancient texts. They are ancient sealing runes that require a specific power and sequence to unlock." He closed his eyes, recalling the text, and then began to direct the group.

"Lin, use the power of the wind element to touch the rune in the upper left corner. Ice Princess, inject the magic of ice into the rune in the lower right corner. Agang, use your fighting spirit to activate the rune in the center..." The mysterious figure arranged things in an orderly manner.

Following the mysterious figure's instructions, everyone poured their power into the corresponding runes. As power was poured in, the runes on the door began to flicker in a certain order. The light grew brighter and brighter, and finally, with a roar, the castle gate slowly opened.

An air of antiquity filled the air. The castle was dark and damp, with tattered banners and portraits adorning the walls. In the center of the hall stood a stone platform, upon which sat an ancient box. The box emitted a faint glow, a light that seemed to beckon everyone.

Xu Tiancai approached the stone platform cautiously. As he approached, he could sense a powerful and mysterious force emanating from the box. He reached out, intending to open it, but the moment his hand touched it, a pulse of energy erupted from the box, knocking him back.

"Be careful, this box has a defense mechanism!" Xu Tiancai shouted.

Everyone gathered around and began to study how to crack the box's defense mechanism. The man in white carefully examined the box and found some musical notes engraved on it. "This might be related to music. Let me try it," the man in white said, picking up his flute and playing it.

The notes he played echoed with the musical pattern on the box. As the sound continued, the light on the box began to flicker, and the defense mechanism seemed to loosen. But suddenly, the box released a powerful energy wave, shocking the man in white and making him spit blood.

"No, the defense of this box is too strong. Music alone cannot break it." The man in white wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said.

At this moment, the mysterious figure came up with an idea: "Let's combine our powers and channel them through music. Perhaps we can crack the code." Everyone thought this was feasible, so they channeled their powers onto the man in white.

The man in white played the flute again. This time, the sound contained the soul power of the Sword of Creation, Agang's fighting spirit, Lin's wind elemental power, the ice magic of the Ice Princess, and the dark and light powers of the mysterious figure. The flute sound surged towards the box like streams of colorful energy.

The box began to tremble violently under the overwhelming force. The defense mechanism's glow grew stronger, counteracting the flute's power. Everyone increased their output. The man in white's forehead was covered in sweat, his body trembling slightly from the immense force, but he persisted in playing.

Finally, with everyone's concerted efforts, the box's defenses were broken. The box slowly opened, and a dazzling light shone from it. Everyone quickly shielded their eyes with their hands. When the light dissipated, they saw a dagger emitting a mysterious aura within the box.

The dagger's blade was pale blue, inscribed with intricate runes. The hilt was inlaid with a blue gem, and stars seemed to twinkle within it. Xu Tiancai picked up the dagger and sensed a subtle connection between it and the Sword of Creation. "This might be one of the artifacts we're looking for," he said.

As everyone was examining the dagger, a mysterious figure in black robes arrived outside the castle. He sensed the aura of the artifact within, and a flicker of greed flashed in his eyes. "Hmph, you think you can challenge me just because you've found the artifact? How naive!" the mysterious figure in black robes said, preparing to enter the castle.

Everyone in the castle sensed the arrival of the mysterious black-robed figure and knew a fiercer battle was imminent. Xu Tiancai gripped his dagger and the Sword of Creation and said, "No matter what, we must fight him. This artifact is our hope, and we can't let him take it away."

Everyone nodded, ready for battle. Agang swung his axe, his golden fighting spirit reignited. Lin cast wind magic, swirling vortices around her. The Ice Princess waved her wand, and an Ice Giant and an Ice Phoenix appeared behind her. The mysterious figure formed hand seals, the forces of darkness and light swirling in his palms. The man in white picked up his flute, the notes already ready.

A mysterious man in a black robe stepped into the castle. He looked at the artifacts in everyone's hands and sneered: "What do you think this dagger can change? In front of my dark power, everything is an ant." He waved his hands, and the dark power spread like black smoke, enveloping everyone.
