The male protagonist of the book is poisonous

1. Crisis Emerges, Determination Begins

When news of the sect's attack reached us, it felt like a bombshell had suddenly been dropped onto a calm lake. Our expressions instantly grew solemn and stern. Chu Feng's eyes instantly gleamed with determination. He gripped the Star-Shining Spirit Crystal and the Star Key tightly, his fingers throbbing with the strain, as if they held the fate of the sect inextricably linked. His tone was firm and unwavering, "We must not allow the sect to be destroyed. We must repel them." Although I felt a little terrified, like a deer lost in a dark forest, seeing the unwavering resolve of Chu Feng and the elders, I felt like I had grasped a glimmer of hope in the darkness. I mustered my courage and nodded vigorously.

2. Command and deployment, each doing their own job

The elder reacted quickly, like an experienced helmsman, calmly directing the situation in a critical moment. His voice was steady and resonant, "Chu Feng, take the artifact and key to the sect leader. Be sure to inform him of their importance and have him arrange for expert guards. The other elders and I will go to meet the enemy and stabilize the situation." Chu Feng responded crisply, then sprinted like a gust of wind towards the main peak where the sect leader stood. He quickly disappeared from our sight. An impulse welled up within me, wanting to follow Chu Feng, but the elder stopped me in time: "You stay here and help me set up the defensive formation." The elder's eyes were stern and resolute, and I suppressed my urge and remained where I was.

3. Arranging the formation is not enough

The elder and I arrived at the sect's fortifications, where he began to set up the formation. He began by carefully removing various rare materials from his storage bag. The materials shimmered with a mystical brilliance in the sunlight, as if each held a mysterious power. The elder began to chant, the incantation flowing slowly like an ancient, mystical ballad, each syllable imbued with a mysterious rhythm. Simultaneously, his hands, like a nimble dancer, shifted hand seals, his fingers tracing intricate paths through the air. I focused intently on following the elder's instructions, precisely placing the materials in their designated positions. As each material was placed, the formation gradually took shape. Faint rays of light flickered around, gradually converging into a faint barrier. However, I could keenly sense that the formation's power was far too weak compared to the impending onslaught of the men in black and the mysterious monster. It was like a fragile line of defense, barely holding off the oncoming flood, buying us a moment to breathe.

4. Fighting breaks out, and the situation is worrying

At this moment, the battle outside the sect erupted like a volcanic eruption. The men in black were beyond imagination, surging like a tide from the darkness, swarming towards the sect. Their agility was uncanny, weaving through the crowd with ease like a flock of ghosts. Their attacks were strange and unpredictable, sometimes coming suddenly from unexpected angles, others even imbued with imperceptible illusions. The mysterious monster, like a demon from hell, was immense, its every movement causing the ground to tremble violently, as if the very earth itself trembled beneath its feet. Although the sect's disciples fought bravely and fearlessly, brandishing their weapons, unleashing their unique skills, and chanting their sect's slogans in a desperate struggle, they were clearly outmatched by the overwhelming force of the enemy. Some disciples were soon injured and fell down. Their blood gushed out from their wounds and slowly flowed on the ground. The bright red blood dyed the sect's land a glaring red, like a tragic picture unfolding before their eyes.

5. Weigh the pros and cons and win in the face of danger

Seeing the tragic scene before him, the elder's brow furrowed tightly, like two twisted ropes. Although a hint of worry flashed across his eyes, there was more determination. He sped up the pace of setting up the formation, and beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead. Those beads of sweat slid down his cheeks, but it did not affect his movements at all. As he busily set up the formation, he muttered to himself, "This formation still needs a powerful energy source to support it. The Star-Shining Spirit Crystal may be enough, but it has not yet been fully mastered. Using it by force may be dangerous." After hearing the elder's words, I felt like a fire was burning in my heart. I said without hesitation, "Elder, the situation is critical now. If we can use the artifact to defend the sect, the risk is worth it." The elder stopped what he was doing and looked at me deeply. His eyes seemed to penetrate my soul and explore my determination. After a moment of contemplation, he slowly said, "You are right. At this point, this is the only way."

6. The artifact enters the battle, and the dawn of hope appears

The elder took a deep breath, as if gathering all his courage into it. He paused his work and began adjusting the formation, preparing to incorporate the Star-Shining Spirit Crystal. I stood by, breathless with nervousness, my eyes fixed on the elder's every move, my heart agitated and beating like a drum. I silently prayed for everything to go smoothly. Just then, Chu Feng, accompanied by the sect leader and several experts, hurriedly arrived. The sect leader's expression was serious and solemn. Seeing the elder adjusting the formation, a look of confusion crossed his eyes. He hurriedly asked, "Elder, what are you doing?" The elder briefly outlined his plan. The sect leader's frown deepened, a deep furrow running down his brow. He said slowly, "This is indeed a risky move, but there's no other way now." Chu Feng handed the Star-Shining Spirit Crystal to the elder without hesitation. The elder took it with both hands, as if he were taking on the sect's hope. He took another deep breath and placed the Star-Shining Spirit Crystal at the core of the formation. Instantly, the formation erupted with a powerful radiance, like the blazing sun breaking through the clouds, soaring into the sky and rapidly forming a vast curtain of light, shrouding the sect like a vast transparent shield. The mysterious monster's ferocious attack struck the curtain, causing only a slight ripple, like a pebble dropped into a calm lake, temporarily unable to penetrate this formidable defense. "Well done, Elder!" the sect leader couldn't help but exclaim in praise. However, we all knew that this was only a temporary reprieve; the crisis still loomed like a dark cloud over us.

7. The enemy strikes back, and the crisis reappears

The men in black and the mysterious monster seemed to sense the powerful force of the light curtain stemming from the Star-Shining Spirit Crystal. A sly glint flickered in their sinister eyes. Soon, they concentrated their attacks on a single spot on the light curtain. Under their fierce assault, the light in that spot began to flicker, like a candle in the wind, poised to go out at any moment. The light, now bright, now dim, each flicker struck at our heartstrings, sending our emotions spiraling.

8. Take the initiative and turn the tide

"This won't work. We must take the initiative," Chu Feng said firmly, his eyes revealing a desperate determination. The Sect Leader, upon hearing this, echoed his sentiments. He nodded solemnly, agreeing, "Chu Feng, lead some of your disciples to circumvent from the left and attack the black-clad men from behind. I'll lead the others from the front to break through and distract them." Chu Feng immediately selected some of his most agile and experienced disciples. Each of these disciples' eyes blazed with fighting spirit, like warriors about to enter a battle. Chu Feng led them, stealthily and ghostly, weaving around to the left. Their footsteps were so light and silent, they seemed to blend seamlessly into the surroundings. I watched Chu Feng's retreating figure, a wave of worry filling my heart, like a dark cloud obscuring the sunlight. I knew Chu Feng's journey was fraught with danger, but I also understood that my only remaining responsibility was to assist the elder in safeguarding the formation. The elder, now completely absorbed in maintaining the formation, had turned a pale white, like a sheet of paper stripped of its color. Maintaining such a powerful formation was a huge drain on him, and his strength was constantly draining away like a trickle of water.

9. Chu Feng's surprise attack and initial victory

Chu Feng led his disciples silently around to the rear of the black-clad men, then, seizing the perfect moment, launched a sudden attack. The black-clad men, completely focused on attacking the light curtain, were oblivious to the danger behind them, and were caught off guard by the sudden attack. Their formation instantly fell into disarray, like a swarm of ants without a leader, scurrying about in all directions. However, they were a well-trained enemy, and they quickly reacted, quickly allocating some of their men to deal with Chu Feng and his men. Chu Feng wielded his sword, which seemed to possess a soul in his hands. He charged into the enemy horde like a valiant cheetah. Every movement was clean and precise, each strike delivered with immense force and precise angles. The blade whistled through the air, and each strike was a sure-shot strike, taking the life of a foe. The blood of his enemies splattered on him, making him look like a god of war emerging from a sea of ​​blood. His figure, crisscrossing the black-clad crowd, was a formidable presence.

10. The leader charges and a melee breaks out

The sect leader led the remaining disciples in a fierce frontal assault. Their blood boiled with passion, and they chanted the sect's battle cry, echoing across the battlefield like thunder, threatening to shatter the very heavens. Brandishing their weapons, they charged bravely toward the enemy, instantly engulfed in a fierce melee. The clash of swords, the clashing of spells, and the shouts of the people blended into a deafening symphony of war. The mysterious monster persisted in its assault on the light curtain, its glow growing dimmer and dimmer under its onslaught, like a candle about to burn out, poised to go out at any moment.

11. The light curtain is about to break, and an idea comes to mind

"Oh no! The light curtain is about to collapse," the elder shouted anxiously, his voice trembling with despair, like a flame about to go out in the wind. I was anxious, feeling like a wild animal trapped in a cage, unable to exert any strength. At this critical moment, a sudden flash of inspiration came to my mind, like a flash of lightning across the dark night sky. I suddenly thought of the Star Key. My eyes lit up, and I hurriedly asked, "Elder, can the Star Key enhance the power of the artifact?" When the elder heard what I said, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he saw a glimmer of hope in the darkness. He said excitedly, "Perhaps we can try."

12. The key saves the day and the situation turns around

Upon hearing the elder's words, I quickly snatched up the Star Key from where Chu Feng had left it and handed it to the elder as quickly as possible. The elder took the key, his eyes filled with anticipation and nervousness. He took a deep breath and began to chant a complex, ancient incantation. The sound of the incantation echoed through the air, like the whispers of an ancient god. Each syllable was imbued with mysterious power, transporting one to a mysterious, magical world. Then, he carefully inserted the Star Key into a groove next to the Star-Shining Spirit Crystal. Instantly, the Star-Shining Spirit Crystal erupted with an extremely powerful light, even more dazzling than before, like a supernova exploding before my eyes. The intensity was so intense that it nearly blinded me, forcing me to squint. The light curtain, replenished with powerful energy, became solid again. Moreover, the light seemed to contain a new power, exerting a certain suppressive effect on the man in black and the mysterious monster. The movements of those men in black became slower, and their attacks lost their previous sharpness. Under the illumination of the light, the mysterious monster also seemed to shrink back.

13. Morale boosted, victory pursued

Chu Feng's morale surged upon seeing the light curtain stabilize again, like a refreshing rain showering upon a parched grassland. He led his disciples in an even more valiant attack, their fighting spirit blazing like a blazing flame, each one's eyes filled with the conviction of victory. Seeing this, the Sect Leader seized the opportunity and led his disciples in an even more fierce attack. Like a pack of hungry wolves catching sight of their prey, the disciples' attacks intensified, surging like a surging tide, wave after wave pouring down upon the enemy. Under this double assault, the man in black and the mysterious monster began to retreat, their figures retreating in panic, like hares being pursued by hunters, appearing distraught and helpless.

14. The enemy is defeated and victory is dawning

As time passed, the numbers of the men in black and the mysterious monster dwindled. Seeing the situation was hopeless, they began to retreat, their steps frantic and hurried, like a flock of startled rats. The sect leader, keenly aware of their intentions, raised his arms and shouted, "Don't let them escape! Chase them!" His voice, like a resounding bell, echoed across the battlefield, inspiring every disciple. The disciples, hearing the sect leader's call, responded in droves. Shouting victory slogans, they pursued the men in black like a surging wave. Chu Feng also returned to the sect, covered in blood. The blood had dried, leaving dark red stains on his clothes. He looked like a hero returning from the battlefield. Despite his blood, his eyes were filled with the joy of victory, radiating from them like sunlight.

15. Celebrate victory and be vigilant in times of peace

"We won," I said excitedly, my voice filled with the joy of surviving a catastrophe and the pride of victory. Chu Feng walked over to me, a gentle smile on his face. He gently touched my head, his hand carrying a hint of the warmth of the battlefield: "Yes, this time, thanks to everyone's efforts and the power of the artifact." The headmaster and the elders also came over with relieved smiles on their faces, smiles that were like a spring breeze blowing across our faces. Although the sect's defense battle was victorious, we all knew that this was only the beginning. The forces behind the men in black still lurk in the darkness, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike again at any moment. Moreover, there are still many secrets of the artifact waiting to be discovered. The sect's future is still full of challenges, like countless mists waiting to be cleared.
