Legend of the Embroiderer

Li Zhao supported the old man and struggled forward in the ruins of the Dark Tower.

The air was filled with a pungent burnt smell, which was the trace left by the raging dark energy.

The gravel under my feet made a creaking sound from time to time, as if telling of the fierce battle that had just taken place here.

Li Zhao's gaze was firm and sharp, not missing any corner. He knew very well that the whereabouts of the mysterious man and the two gems were related to the fate of the entire world.

"Senior, where do you think the mysterious man will hide?" Li Zhao broke the silence, his voice echoing in the empty ruins.

The old man frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "This mysterious man is extremely cunning. Since he was able to escape during the dark energy explosion, he must be very familiar with this area. Perhaps he is hiding deep in the ruins of the Dark Tower, or perhaps..."

The old man didn't finish his words, but Li Zhao understood that the mysterious man might have used some dark magic to escape to a place they could not expect.

At this moment, Li Zhao discovered a series of strange footprints on the ground in front of him, with a faint dark aura emanating from the footprints.

He squatted down and observed the footprints carefully. An idea occurred to him: "Senior, these footprints are very new and exude the aura of a mysterious person. He must have gone in this direction."

The old man nodded, and the two continued to move forward in the direction of the footprints.

The dark aura around him grew thicker, and the light of the purification crystal in Li Zhao's hand began to flicker, as if it was silently fighting against the dark forces.

Suddenly, a sinister laugh came from the front. "Hahaha, you guys are really persistent. However, this time, it won't be so easy for you to find me.

The mysterious man's voice echoed in the ruins, making it impossible to determine his location. Li Zhao gripped the Sword of Purification tightly and looked around vigilantly.

"Mysterious man, you can't escape, hand over the gem!"

Li Zhao shouted loudly. But the mysterious man just sneered, his laughter full of ridicule.

Just as Li Zhao was about to continue searching for the mysterious man, the old man suddenly shouted, "Li Zhao, be careful!"

Li Zhao subconsciously turned around and saw a black beam of energy shooting towards him.

He quickly swung the Sword of Purification to block the energy beam.

Immediately afterwards, a group of dark creatures emerged from the ruins. They had different shapes, some were like ghosts, and some were like giant spiders, emitting a disgusting dark aura.

Li Zhao and the old man immediately fell into a bitter battle.

Li Zhao released all the power of the purification crystal, light gem, crystal ball and jade pendant. The golden light enveloped him again. He waved the sword of purification light and rushed towards the group of dark creatures.

Every swing can repel or destroy the approaching dark creatures.

The old man was not willing to be outdone. He concentrated his remaining strength and used light to attack the dark creatures to provide support for Li Zhao.

During the fierce battle, Li Zhao discovered that these dark creatures seemed to be controlled by some force, and their attack rhythm and methods had obvious patterns.

He had an idea and tried again to sense and control their source through the purification crystals.

Under the guidance of the power of the purifying crystal, he discovered that the power of these dark creatures was closely related to the gem in the hands of the mysterious man.

It turns out that the mysterious man can use the gems not only to enhance his own strength, but also to control these dark creatures for his own use.

Li Zhao was furious. He decided to speed up the battle, get rid of these dark creatures as soon as possible, and then go to settle the score with the mysterious man.

He condensed the purifying light into countless sharp blades and shot them towards the swarm of dark creatures.

The sharp blade shuttled through the group of dark creatures. In an instant, the dark creatures fell to the ground and turned into black smoke and dissipated.

Before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the mysterious man's voice sounded again.

"Huh, you think you can defeat me like this? You are too naive."

Following the sound, a mysterious man appeared on a high place in a ruin. The two gems in his hands emitted a strong light, echoing the dark atmosphere around him.

"These two gems are the source of dark power. As long as I master them, the whole world will be under my control." The mysterious man said with a wild laugh.

Li Zhao looked at the mysterious man with anger burning in his eyes.

"You evil bastard, don't even think about succeeding!"

He condensed the purifying light into a giant spear and threw it at the mysterious man.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious man waved the gem, and a powerful dark energy barrier instantly formed in front of him, blocking the spear of purifying light.

The spear hit the barrier with a loud bang and splashing light, but it could not break through the barrier.

Li Zhao was anxious. He knew that the mysterious man was too powerful. If they didn't come up with a solution quickly, it would be difficult for them to win.

The fragment in his hand suddenly emitted a strong light, which seemed to contain a mysterious power.

Li Zhao's heart moved. He concentrated his mind and guided the power of the fragments to join the battle.

In an instant, the light of the fragments became stronger, interweaving with the light of the purifying crystal, the light gem, the crystal ball and the jade pendant, forming a powerful purifying force.

With the help of this purifying power, Li Zhao rushed towards the mysterious man again.

The mysterious man's face changed drastically. He increased the dark energy output of the gem, trying to resist Li Zhao's attack.

Li Zhao's purifying power was too strong, and the dark energy barrier began to crack under the impact of the purifying power.

Seeing this, the mysterious man was shocked and turned around to escape.

How could Li Zhao let him go? He quickly chased after him. Just as the mysterious man was about to disappear into the darkness, Li Zhao condensed the power of purification into a powerful light and shot it towards the mysterious man.

The light instantly hit the mysterious man, who let out a painful scream and fell to the ground.

Li Zhao stepped forward, ready to snatch the gem from his hand.

When he approached the mysterious man, the mysterious man suddenly opened his eyes and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"Do you think this is the end? This is just a clone of me."

As he spoke, the mysterious man's body suddenly turned into a ball of black smoke and dissipated. Li Zhao looked at the scene in front of him in shock, his heart full of doubts.

He suddenly felt a powerful dark force coming from the depths of the Dark Tower.

He turned around and saw a black beam of light rising into the sky from the ruins of the Dark Tower, and something seemed to be surging in the beam of light.

"Oh no! The mysterious man must be plotting something deep within the Dark Tower."

Li Zhao said anxiously. The old man nodded, and the two of them walked towards the depths of the Dark Tower.

When they approached the black light column, they found that there was a huge dark magic circle around the light column. Strange runes were flashing in the magic circle. These runes were similar to the runes they had seen in the dark tower before, but there were some differences.

Li Zhao carefully observed the magic circle, trying to decipher the meaning of the runes by purifying the crystals.

Under the guidance of the power of the purifying crystal, Li Zhao gradually understood the meaning of the runes.

It turns out that the mysterious man used these two gems to open a passage to the dark world deep in the dark tower.

If the channel is fully opened, the power of the dark world will surge into this world, and the entire world will fall into irretrievable destruction.

Li Zhao was shocked. He knew they had to stop the mysterious man as soon as possible.

At this moment, the mysterious man's voice sounded again.

"Hahaha, you finally discovered my plan, but it's too late. The passage is about to open, and the power of the dark world will completely devour your world."

Li Zhao looked at the dark magic circle with determination in his eyes.

"No, we won't let you succeed."

He released all the power of the purification crystal, light gem, crystal ball, jade pendant and fragments, and rushed towards the dark magic circle.

Just as he was about to approach the magic circle, the dark magic circle suddenly shot out a powerful dark energy beam, knocking him back.

Li Zhao stood up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and prepared to attack again.

He suddenly discovered that the light from the fragment in his hand became extremely strong, and something seemed to be surging in the fragment.

He had an idea and concentrated his mind, trying to guide the power of the fragments.

In an instant, a ray of light shot out from the fragments, and an ancient symbol appeared in the light.

Li Zhao looked at the symbol and suddenly felt a familiar feeling in his heart. He seemed to have seen this symbol somewhere, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

Just as Li Zhao was thinking, the light of the dark magic circle became brighter, and the time for the passage to open was getting closer.

Li Zhao knew that he could not hesitate any longer.

He combined the power of the fragments with the power of other treasures and rushed towards the dark magic circle again.
