Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing
Chapter 783 The Dark Mastermind: Xiao Bei's Hard Pursuit
The cheers gradually died down, but Xiao Bei was unable to immerse himself in the joy of the moment.
He patted Beili's hand, signaling her to be patient, but his eyes were always fixed on the gray-robed man at the edge of the square.
That faint spiritual fluctuation was like a thin silk thread, pulling his mind.
The square was bustling with people, yet it seemed isolated from him. Only the man in gray robes stood out like a firefly in the dark night.
Xiao Bei quietly left the crowd and approached the gray-robed man quietly.
The noise in the square gradually faded in his ears, replaced by an eerie silence, like the calm before a storm.
With every step he took, he felt the pressure in the air increase, making it hard for him to breathe.
The gray-robed man still stood there, motionless, like a sculpture.
"Who are you?" Xiao Bei asked in a deep voice. His voice was low and powerful, and it seemed particularly abrupt in the hustle and bustle of the square.
The gray-robed man slowly turned around, his hat covering his face, revealing only a pair of deep eyes, like two deep ancient wells, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.
"You... are finally here." The gray-robed man's voice was hoarse and low, like the friction of sandpaper, which was creepy.
Xiao Bei frowned, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.
He followed the clues of the old forces to this point, but found that every clue was like a carefully laid trap, leading him step by step into the abyss.
Who is this gray-robed man?
What is his relationship with the old forces?
Just then, there was a sudden commotion in the square.
Xiao Bei turned around suddenly and saw a group of men in black rushing out from all directions and surrounding them.
The men in black were all holding sharp blades and were full of murderous intent. It was obvious that they had planned this in advance.
"It seems that you have been prepared for this." Xiao Bei sneered.
The gray-robed man said nothing, but slowly raised his hand and pointed at Xiao Bei. "Kill him!"
Before he could finish his words, the men in black rushed forward, swords flashing and murderous intent in the air.
Xiao Bei was not afraid at all and drew his sword to fight.
The sword flashed, and the cold air was pressing. He fought against a hundred people alone, but he was not at a disadvantage at all.
However, his heart became increasingly heavy.
This is not just a counterattack by the old forces, but more like a carefully planned conspiracy, and he is the center of this conspiracy.
Just then, he heard a cry of alarm: "Xiao Bei, be careful!"
Amidst the flashing of swords and sabers, Xiao Bei fought hard, his sword energy was like a rainbow, and the cold light flashed.
He was agile and nimble, like a swimming dragon, moving freely among the men in black.
However, the men in black were numerous and fearless, and they kept coming up like a tide, one wave after another.
Just as Xiao Bei was trying his best to resist, a scream came from behind him.
He suddenly turned around and saw several men in black taking advantage of the chaos to attack him and capture several of his companions who had fought side by side with him.
The companions' spiritual powers were sealed and they were unable to resist. They were dragged by the men in black and disappeared at the other end of the square.
"No!" Xiao Bei's eyes were bloodshot, and a strong sense of self-blame surged in his heart.
He thought he could protect everyone with his own strength, but he didn't expect that someone would still be hurt.
His hand holding the sword trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat oozed from his palm.
His companions trusted him and followed him, but now they have fallen into the hands of the enemy because of him. How can he face them?
Xiao Bei's heart felt as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock, so heavy that he could hardly breathe.
The noise in the square became blurred in his ears. He seemed to be in a lonely world, with only endless regret and self-blame spreading in his heart.
He watched his companions being taken away, unable to stop it, and this feeling of helplessness made him feel deeply frustrated.
"Xiao Bei, don't blame yourself, we still have a chance." Bei Li's voice sounded in his ears, like a clear spring, flowing through his dry heart.
There was a determined light in Beili's eyes. She reached out and held Xiao Bei's hand tightly, giving him strength and support.
Beili took a deep breath, muttered something, and drew mysterious runes with his fingertips.
An ancient and mysterious aura emanated from her, and the air around her seemed to freeze.
This is a secret method of the ancient immortals, which can track the location of the person being cast the spell.
As the runes flashed, a light golden light shot out from Beili's fingertips and pointed directly to the other end of the square.
The light gradually solidified and eventually formed a clear arrow pointing to a hidden underground passage.
"Found it!" Beili's"
Xiao Bei looked at Bei Li, his heart filled with gratitude and love.
Beili's wisdom and ability always help him at critical moments.
He held Beili's hand tightly, and the light of hope rekindled in his eyes.
"Thank you, Li'er."
He took a deep breath, suppressed the guilt and self-blame in his heart, and looked firmly in the direction of the underground passage.
"let's go!"
The entrance to the underground passage is hidden and covered by dense vines. If it weren't for Beili's secret guidance, it would be difficult for Xiao Bei and others to find it.
A cold, damp breath gushed out from the entrance of the passage, carrying with it a sickening stench of decay.
Xiao Bei drew out his long sword, and the sword flashed with cold light, illuminating the entrance to the dark passage.
He took the lead and led everyone into the passage.
The passage was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Only the damp soil under your feet and the rough stones on the wall gave you a cold touch.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was suffocating.
Everyone moved forward cautiously, and the sound of their footsteps echoed in the narrow passage, sounding particularly clear.
After walking for about an incense stick of time, a ray of light appeared in front of us.
As the light got closer, a wide underground space appeared before everyone's eyes.
In the center of the space, several men in black were escorting Xiao Bei's companions.
The companions were tied up, their bodies covered with scars, and their faces were full of fear.
Guarding the companions were a group of tall, hideous monsters.
They are covered with hard scales that gleam with a metallic luster.
The sharp claws emit a cold light, which makes people shudder.
"Let them go!" Xiao Bei roared, pointing the sword in his hand at the monster.
The monsters let out a low roar, their eyes flashing with ferocity.
They waved their sharp claws and pounced towards Xiao Bei and others.
A fierce battle broke out instantly.
Xiao Bei led the charge, the long sword in his hand turned into silver lightning, and he fought with the monsters.
Beili followed closely behind. She formed seals with her hands, and golden runes flowed through her fingertips, forming an indestructible defensive barrier to protect everyone.
"Lier, left!" Xiao Bei shouted.
Beili understood what he meant and immediately moved the defensive barrier to the left to block the monster's attack.
Xiao Bei took the opportunity to swing his sword at the monster's weak point.
The two of them cooperated seamlessly and had a perfect understanding.
When their eyes met, besides the command to fight, there was more trust and love for each other.
However, these monsters are far more powerful than the previous men in black.
Although Xiao Bei and Bei Li tried their best, they still found it difficult to gain the upper hand.
The monsters' attacks became more and more fierce, and cracks began to appear in the defensive barrier.
The companions who were tied up on the side watched this thrilling battle.
At this moment, Xiao Bei's eyes fell on a small scale on the monster's body. The scale was slightly different in color from the other scales...
"Li'er, cover me!"
There was a gleam in Xiao Bei's eyes. He was not a reckless person and every move he made was carefully considered.
He discovered that although the scales of those monsters were hard, they were not seamless. Near the neck, there was a small scale that was slightly dull in color, different from the luster of the other scales. This might be their weakness.
"Li'er, cover me!" Xiao Bei shouted loudly, his body as swift as a cheetah, dodging the huge claws of a monster, and at the same time turning the sword tip, pointing directly at the dark scales.
Bei Li understood what he meant. She no longer used a large-scale defensive barrier, but instead concentrated her spiritual power at one point, forming a solid golden shield in front of Xiao Bei.
The shield was like an indestructible wall, blocking the attacks of other monsters and buying Xiao Bei precious time.
The monster roared and rushed over with a strong fishy wind, its sharp claws tearing through the air and making a shrill scream.
Xiao Bei did not retreat but advanced. His figure shuttled between the monster's claws like a ghost. Every step he took was at an extremely tricky angle. It seemed dangerous, but in fact, it was all under his control.
The long sword in his hand danced like the wind, and the blade, with a biting chill, pierced the dark scales accurately.
"Puchi!" The sound of the sword blade piercing the scales was particularly clear, like a sharp knife piercing leather.
The monster let out a shrill scream, its huge body stiffened instantly, and then fell to the ground with a loud bang, splashing a cloud of dust.
Xiao Bei did not pause at all. He rushed down the mountain like a tiger, his figure flashing continuously, and every time he drew his sword, it was with the power to kill.
Although those monsters were powerful, under Xiao Bei's exquisite swordsmanship and precise attacks, they fell one by one in a pool of blood, making dull crashing sounds.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was disgusting, but it could not shake Xiao Bei's determination.
In a moment, all the monsters fell to the ground, breathless.
Xiao Bei put away his sword and stood there, exuding an aura of looking down on the world, as if he was a god of war returning from hell.
The trapped companions cheered loudly and looked at Xiao Bei.
"Brother Xiao Bei, you are so awesome!"
"We are safe, thank you!"
The companions hugged each other excitedly, the joy of surviving the disaster overflowing on their faces.
Beili also breathed a sigh of relief, and the worries in her heart were finally put aside. She came to Xiao Bei with a relieved smile on her face.
However, Xiao Bei's brows did not relax. He keenly realized that everything seemed to be going too smoothly.
From entering the passage to defeating the monster, every step seemed to be carefully designed. It created trouble for him but did not really put him in a desperate situation. Instead, it was like a bait, luring him deeper step by step.
He suddenly looked towards the entrance of the passage, and an ominous premonition surged in his heart.
"We've been fooled." Xiao Bei said in a deep voice, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
Bei Li looked at Xiao Bei in confusion and was about to ask, but Xiao Bei raised his hand to stop her.
He slowly raised the long sword in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword towards the depths of the passage, and a powerful aura gathered around him.
"The real 'good show' has just begun."
