The Emperor's Favorite: The Useless and Crazy Concubine Who Conquers the World

"Take some herbs first to recover from your injuries," she said softly.

The three of them remained silent as they each took their herbs and began practicing their healing techniques. Time passed slowly in silence, and the atmosphere in the valley grew increasingly solemn, as if a larger storm was approaching.

After some recuperation, the three men's injuries gradually improved. Lan Yunyan stood up, looked at the castle in the distance, and said thoughtfully, "The strength of the man in black robes far exceeds our imagination. His magic is strange and powerful. We must find a way to improve our own strength in order to compete with him."

Lin Wan'er nodded in agreement: "I feel his wand is the key. As long as we can completely destroy it, perhaps we can break the source of his magic power."

Yun Mengyao gripped her sword tightly. "Next time I meet him, I won't let him escape so easily. I'm going to get close to him and give you guys a chance to attack the wand."

At this moment, Lan Yunyan suddenly felt a weak magical fluctuation coming from the direction of the castle.

Her expression changed. "Oh no! The man in black robes might be doing something in the castle. We have to go back and take a look."

Without hesitation, the three of them immediately stood up and ran towards the castle.

When they approached the castle, they found that the sky above the castle was covered with a thick black fog. Strange lights flickered in the fog, and low roars were heard from time to time, as if some demon was about to descend to the world.

They walked into the castle cautiously and found that the hall was filled with a pungent stench of decay.

The walls were covered in black vines, each covered in sharp thorns, constantly twisting and turning as if alive. The ground was littered with bones, a truly eerie sight.

"What on earth is this man in black robe doing?" Yun Mengyao frowned and asked in a low voice.

Lan Yunyan looked around vigilantly: "No matter what he is doing, we can't let him succeed. Everyone be careful."

Suddenly, a sinister laugh echoed in the hall.

The black-robed man slowly walked down from the second floor, his eyes revealing madness and pride: "Do you think you can escape from my grasp? Today is your doom."

As he spoke, the man in black robe waved his hands, and countless black flames surged out from his hands, sweeping towards the three people.

Wherever the flames reached, everything was instantly reduced to ashes. The temperature was so high that people felt as if they were in a sea of ​​fire.

Lan Yunyan swiftly swung her staff, forming a water curtain shield in front of the three. Black flames collided with the shield, emitting a sizzling sound and billowing black smoke.

Lin Wan'er formed seals with her hands and summoned a gust of cold wind, trying to blow away the black flames.

Yun Mengyao took advantage of the moment when the flames weakened, flashed and rushed towards the man in black robe, the long sword in her hand danced into a beam of light and shadow, stabbing into the black robe man's chest.

The man in black robe was not in a hurry. He muttered something and a black vortex appeared in front of him, sucking Yun Mengyao's sword in.

Yun Mengyao pulled hard, but found that the sword was stuck and could not move.

"Your struggle is in vain." The man in black robe sneered, and suddenly clasped his hands together. The black vortex exploded instantly. The powerful impact force knocked Yun Mengyao away, and she fell heavily to the ground.

Lan Yunyan and Lin Wan'er felt a pang of pain at the sight. They knew they couldn't continue to passively take the beating. They exchanged a glance and simultaneously unleashed their strongest magic.

Lan Yunyan inserted the staff into the ground and recited a long spell.

Countless huge vines quickly sprouted from the ground, entwining with each other to form a gigantic green giant. The giant waved its thick arms and pounced on the black-robed man.

Lin Wan'er jumped high, formed a complex hand seal with her hands, and shouted: "Ice for thousands of miles!" In an instant, the entire hall was covered with a thick layer of ice, and the black flames were frozen in mid-air.

The man in black robe was trapped by the ice and could not move.

"Now!" Lan Yunyan shouted.

Yun Mengyao got up from the ground, picked up a stone, and threw it hard at the black-robed man's wand.

The stone arced through the air and struck the wand with pinpoint accuracy. The cracks on the wand widened instantly, and cracks began to appear in the gem, emitting a dazzling light.

Seeing this, the man in black robe showed a look of horror in his eyes: "No! You can't destroy my wand!" He struggled desperately, trying to break free from the ice.

At the critical moment when the wand was about to break, the man in black robe suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood from his mouth and sprayed it on the wand.

The wand absorbed the blood and instantly burst out with a powerful force, shattering the ice layer and reigniting the black flames.

"You have completely enraged me." The man in black robe roared, and his body began to change. He gradually became tall and mighty, black scales grew on his body, and his hands turned into sharp claws. He looked extremely ferocious and terrifying.

The three men were not afraid of the black-robed man's transformation, but instead became more determined to fight.

They knew that this was a battle of life and death, and for each other, they had to give it their all, even at the cost of their lives.

Lan Yunyan took a deep breath and increased her soul power to the utmost. She waved her staff, drawing mysterious runes in the air.

The runes shimmered with golden light, converging to form a massive golden halo. The halo slowly spun, releasing a powerful divine force that enveloped the black-robed figure.

Lin Wan'er formed seals with her hands, summoning countless icicles. The icicles hovered in the air, emitting a biting chill.

She waved her hands lightly, and ice cones rained down on the black-robed figure. The ice cones merged with each other during flight, forming a giant ice spike with astonishing power.

Yun Mengyao displayed a unique form of acrobatics, her figure darting through the hall like a flash of lightning. The long sword in her hand flashed with a cold light, repeatedly leaving wounds on the black-robed man.

Although these wounds were not fatal to the man in black robe, they could distract his attention and create opportunities for Lan Yunyan and Lin Wan'er to attack.

Under the fierce attack of the three people, the man in black robe gradually fell into trouble.
