The Immortal Emperor Reborn: Accompanying My Child on the Extraordinary Journey

Chapter 249: Strength and Wisdom

The moment Yun Che pressed the mechanism, the ground around the altar suddenly shook, and several huge stone slabs slowly moved away, revealing a deep underground passage.

“Found it!” Yun Che was overjoyed and quickly called out to everyone, “Quick, let’s get out of here!”

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly retreated to the underground passage. At this moment, the sky above the altar suddenly darkened, and a powerful pressure descended from the sky.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" A cold voice echoed in the void, and then a black shadow appeared on the altar like a ghost.

“The leader of the mysterious force!” Yun Che’s eyes narrowed as an ominous premonition surged in his heart.

The leader of the mysterious force was dressed in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadow of his hood, revealing only a pair of sinister eyes. He glanced at everyone coldly, a cruel smile curling his lips.

“Yun Che, your doom has come!” The leader of the mysterious force spoke in a hoarse and cold voice, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

Yun Che gripped the longsword tightly in his hand and met his gaze without fear: "Hmph, who will win is still to be seen!"

"You don't know how to live or die!" The leader of the mysterious force snorted coldly and waved his hands. Suddenly, a powerful energy wave spread out in all directions.

Everyone felt a huge pressure coming at them, making it difficult to breathe. However, they did not retreat. Instead, they gritted their teeth and prepared for the upcoming battle.

“Everyone, attack together!” Yun Che shouted, and rushed towards the leader of the mysterious force first.

Upon hearing this, everyone used their unique skills and launched a fierce attack on the leader of the mysterious force.

For a moment, swords flashed on the altar, energy surged, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Yun Che faced off against the leader of the mysterious force. The two men crossed each other in the air, their swords flashing like lightning, so fast that it was dazzling.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the two collided again, and the powerful force tore the surrounding space apart.

Yun Che felt a surge of force, and he was involuntarily sent flying backwards. He rolled several times in the air before finally stabilizing himself.

“What a powerful force!” Yun Che was secretly shocked, but he was not discouraged. Instead, he quickly adjusted his state and prepared to launch another attack.

The leader of the mysterious force looked at Yun Che coldly, a disdainful smile curling up at the corner of his mouth: "Is this all you can do? I'm really disappointed."

Yun Che glared at him angrily upon hearing this: "Don't be too complacent too soon, the outcome is still undecided!"

As he said this, he rushed towards the leader of the mysterious force again, swinging the sword in his hand tightly.

The leader of the mysterious force was not to be outdone. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and waves of black energy surged from his palms, colliding with Yun Che's sword light.

"Bang bang bang!" A series of loud noises were heard, and the battle on the altar became more and more intense.

At the same time, other people also engaged in fierce battles with the powerful men of the mysterious force.

Mu Xuanyin held a long sword in hand and moved nimbly among the enemies. The sword flashed like a weave, and wherever it passed, the enemies fell one after another.

Xia Qingyue, on the other hand, used her exquisite acrobatics and powerful spiritual energy to engage the enemy. Each of her attacks was precise and deadly, leaving the enemy terrified.

Cang Yue used her strange movements and powerful illusions to throw the enemy into chaos. Her figure appeared and disappeared like a ghost, making it difficult for the enemy to grasp her.

Everyone fully utilized their strengths in the battle, engaging in a desperate struggle with the enemy. For a moment, the altar was ablaze with swords and sabers, energies surged, and the battle was extremely brutal.

Yun Che gradually discovered the opponent's weaknesses during his fight with the leader of the mysterious force. He discovered that although the opponent was powerful, his speed was relatively slow.

Thus, Yun Che began to use his body skills, constantly moving around in the battle, looking for opportunities to attack.

Finally, during a confrontation, Yun Che seized the opportunity, suddenly accelerated, and rushed towards the leader of the mysterious force like a flash of lightning.

“Prepare to die!” Yun Che shouted loudly, and the long sword in his hand burst into a dazzling light, stabbing towards the chest of the leader of the mysterious force.

The mysterious leader hadn't expected Yun Che to suddenly accelerate, and was caught off guard for a moment. He hurriedly dodged to the side, but it was too late.

"Puchi!" With a light sound, the long sword pierced through his black robe, leaving a deep wound on his chest.

"Ah!" The leader of the mysterious force let out a scream and fell backwards.

Yun Che was overjoyed upon seeing this, believing he had already won. However, at this moment, the leader of the mysterious force suddenly rose from the ground, his eyes flashing with madness.

“Yun Che, do you think you can defeat me like this? You are so naive!” The leader of the mysterious force sneered.

Yun Che's heart tightened, realizing something was amiss. He quickly became alert, ready to face a counterattack.

Sure enough, the leader of the mysterious force waved his hands, and suddenly, a powerful energy wave surged out from his body, making the surrounding air buzz.

“Is this… self-destruction?” Yun Che’s expression changed drastically. He had never expected that the leader of the mysterious force would choose this method to perish together with his enemies.

“Hahaha, Yun Che, just die with me!” The leader of the mysterious force laughed wildly.

As he spoke, the energy in his body began to surge wildly, and his entire aura became extremely violent.

Yun Che was extremely anxious upon seeing this. He knew that if the leader of the mysterious force succeeded in self-destructing, then all of them would be doomed.

“No, I must stop him!” Yun Che thought to himself.

So, he rushed forward without hesitation, quickly forming seals with his hands, ready to unleash his most powerful skills.

However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him and stopped him.

“Yun Che, let me do it!” Mu Xuanyin’s voice rang out beside Yun Che’s ears.

Yun Che looked up and saw Mu Xuanyin looking at him with a determined gaze. She exuded a powerful aura, clearly ready for a fight to the death.

“Xuanyin…” Yun Che felt a warm feeling in his heart, but then he became worried again, “But…”

"No buts!" Mu Xuanyin interrupted him, "Trust me, I can do it!"

Having said that, she no longer hesitated, and with a flash of her figure, she rushed towards the leader of the mysterious force.

Yun Che looked at Mu Xuanyin's back, his heart filled with emotion and respect. He knew that at this moment, they had already put their own lives aside, just to protect each other and this land.

Mu Xuanyin rushed to the leader of the mysterious force, quickly forming seals with her hands and muttering something.

Suddenly, a powerful spiritual energy surged out from her body, solidifying the air around her.

The leader of the mysterious force sensed the powerful aura emanating from Mu Xuanyin, and his expression grew increasingly ferocious.

"Want to stop me? Not that easy!" He roared, and the energy in his body surged again.

However, at this moment, Mu Xuanyin suddenly waved her hands, and a brilliant light shot out from her palms, hitting the chest of the leader of the mysterious force directly.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the light collided with the body of the leader of the mysterious force, bursting out with dazzling light.

Under the illumination of this light, the body of the leader of the mysterious force began to gradually disintegrate, and eventually turned into a cloud of black smoke and dissipated into the air.

“Success!” Yun Che was overjoyed upon seeing this.

Mu Xuanyin's body trembled slightly and her face turned pale because she had used such a powerful skill.

“Xuanyin, are you okay?” Yun Che hurriedly stepped forward to support her and asked with concern.

Mu Xuanyin shook her head slightly. "I'm fine, just a little exhausted."

Yun Che felt a little relieved upon hearing this. He turned around and looked around, only to see that the others had also defeated all the enemies and were cleaning up the battlefield.

"We won!" Yun Che shouted excitedly.

Everyone cheered upon hearing this. They knew that at this moment, they had finally defeated the powerful enemy and protected this land and each other.

However, at this moment, the sky above the altar suddenly darkened again, and an even more powerful pressure descended from the sky.

“What’s going on?” Yun Che was startled and looked up at the sky.

I saw a huge black shadow looming in the clouds, as if a sleeping beast was awakened.

“Is that… the true leader of this mysterious force?” Yun Che secretly speculated in his heart.

His suspicions were soon confirmed. The shadow gradually became clearer, revealing the figure of an old man in a black robe with an aged face.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you could defeat my men." The old man's voice was hoarse and cold, as if it came from the Nine Nether Hell.

Yun Che and the others felt their hearts tighten upon hearing this. They knew that the true leader of this mysterious force was definitely a more powerful enemy.

"Who are you?" Yun Che asked with all his courage.

"I am the founder of the mysterious force and the true ruler of this continent!" the old man said coldly.

"What?" Yun Che and the others were shocked upon hearing this. They had never imagined that this old man would be the founder of a mysterious force, let alone that he would claim to be the true ruler of this continent.

"Do you think you've won by defeating my men? How naive!" the old man sneered. "Today, I'll show you my true strength!"

As he spoke, he waved his hands, and suddenly, a powerful energy wave surged out from his body, enveloping the entire altar.

Yun Che and the others felt a huge pressure coming towards them, and breathing became extremely difficult.

“Everyone be careful!” Yun Che shouted, reminding everyone to be prepared.

However, at this moment, the old man suddenly flashed and appeared in front of Yun Che like a ghost.

“I’ll start with you!” The old man snorted coldly and slapped Yun Che with his palm.

Yun Che felt a powerful force rushing towards him, unable to dodge at all. He gritted his teeth and quickly formed seals with his hands, preparing to withstand the attack.

“Bang!” With a loud bang, the old man’s palm slammed heavily on Yun Che’s chest.

Yun Che felt a surge of force, sending him flying backwards like a kite with its string cut. He tumbled several times in the air before landing heavily on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Yun Che!" Mu Xuanyin and the others were horrified upon seeing this and quickly rushed forward to check on him.

Yun Che lay on the ground, feeling a sharp pain in his chest and breathing becoming extremely difficult. He knew he was seriously injured, but at the moment, he couldn't care less.

He endured the pain, stood up with difficulty, and looked at the old man with a determined look.
