Time Travel: Ancient Martial Arts Chronicles

After Su Yao and the others successfully broke through the enchanting array, they rested briefly before continuing deeper into the valley in search of the source of power. The path ahead became increasingly difficult, with the road winding and difficult to navigate, and rocks occasionally sliding down the mountain walls. With focused concentration, they relied on their superb martial arts skills and mutual support to advance step by step deeper into the valley.

Ye Wuhen hurried to the valley, armed with clues he had gleaned from the abandoned old house, and reunited with Su Yao and the others. He informed them of the evil organization's plot to exploit the valley's power to subvert the martial arts world, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. Su Yao's gaze was determined as she declared, "Now that we know of the enemy's plot, we must not retreat. We must protect this valley and the righteous path of the martial arts world." Everyone nodded, their morale high.

At this moment, strange phenomena began to occur in the valley. The once tranquil stream became turbulent, the water temperature plummeted, and a bitingly cold vapor filled the air. Everyone realized that this might be a sign of the second test. Sure enough, an ice field appeared ahead, over which a cold wind howled, and ice blades flew like arrows. Su Yao led the others to cast a spiritual shield, struggling to resist the ice blades' attack while searching for a way to cross the ice field.

The Jianghu Justice Stronghold has grown significantly with the influx of young talent. Its leaders have also made significant progress in discussions with the prestigious and upright alliance, formulating a series of detailed new rules for the Jianghu. To ensure widespread awareness and adherence to these new rules, they dispatched emissaries to publicize them. They also held a martial arts conference within the stronghold, inviting heroes from all corners to exchange ideas and discuss their merits. At the conference, they also explained the importance and significance of the new rules.

Deep in the mountains, young disciples, aided by the new buildings, are cultivating with even greater diligence. Building on the Forest Culture Festival, they are further exploring the mysteries of forest magic, compiling them into a manual for future generations. At the same time, they are strengthening their ties with surrounding villages, frequently sending disciples down the mountain to help villagers solve their problems. The harmonious coexistence of the forest and the village presents a beautiful scene.

As maritime trade flourished along the coast, pirates abandoned their past atrocities. Their partnership with fishermen not only yielded lucrative profits but also earned the respect of the local people. To ensure the long-term stability of maritime trade, pirates and fishermen jointly formed a maritime escort force to strengthen patrols and protection of the waters. They also established trade associations in coastal towns to standardize trade and promote further economic development in the coastal areas.

After repeated attempts on the ice field, Su Yao and the others discovered that the ice blade attack was linked to certain icicles within the field. They then divided the work, with some attracting the ice blade attack while others sought and destroyed the key icicles. As they searched for the icicles, a group of dark figures emerged from around the ice field. They were assassins sent by a sinister organization. These assassins, masked and dressed in black, wielded sharp blades, and possessed a ghostly presence.

Su Yao was the first to meet the enemy, unsheathing her sword. The sword moved with her body, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, fighting with the assassins who rushed in front. While resisting the attacks, she shouted to Ye Wuhen beside her: "Brother Ye, these assassins are not friendly. You must be careful of their cooperation!" Ye Wuhen's figure flashed and rushed into the enemy camp like lightning. He waved his palms, slapping out a series of fierce palm winds, and responded: "Miss Su, don't worry, they won't succeed!"

The other team members also displayed their special skills. One skilled in boxing shouted, "Look at my tiger fist!" The wind whistled, and each punch carried tremendous force, forcing back several assassins. At this time, a team member skilled in leg techniques said to his teammates nearby, "Brothers, let's attack from both sides. Don't let them get close to Captain Su!" With that, he leaped high and swept out with his legs like whips.

However, these killers were well-trained, and although they were temporarily repelled by the crowd, they quickly reorganized the attack. They cooperated with each other to form an encirclement, trapping Su Yao and others in the middle. The killers performed a strange knife technique, and when the knife light flashed, it seemed that there was a black mist wrapped around it. Seeing this, Su Yao shouted, poured spiritual power into the sword, and performed a move called "Wind Breaking Slash". A dazzling sword light cut through the black mist and went straight to the killers' encirclement. Ye Wuhen took the opportunity to meet up with other team members. They stood back to back, and Ye Wuhen gasped and said, "This is not a solution. We have to find a way to break through." Su Yao pondered for a moment and said, "First, concentrate your strength to attack their weak points, and then look for an opportunity to break through."

After a thrilling battle, they successfully broke the ice's attack pattern, crossed it smoothly, and headed towards the third test. At this time, the evil organization also noticed their actions and was quietly setting numerous traps ahead. A life-and-death battle between good and evil was about to begin...
