Legend of the Embroiderer

With the determination to fight to the death, Li Zhao, with the purifying power shining around him, rushed towards the dark magic circle that exuded a terrifying aura again.

The old man, despite his injured body, stood behind to cheer Li Zhao on, his eyes full of expectation and trust.

As Li Zhao continued to approach, the dark energy erupted from the dark magic circle became more and more violent, like a ferocious beast choosing its prey, frantically resisting his approach.

The dark energy beam that had repelled him shot out again, carrying with it the power to destroy the world.

Li Zhao's eyes were determined, and the sword of purifying light in his hand danced tightly, trying to resist the impact of this dark energy.

This time, the intensity of the dark energy was far beyond imagination. The Sword of Purification trembled violently at the moment of collision. Li Zhao only felt a huge force coming, and the whole person flew backwards uncontrollably, fell heavily to the ground, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Li Zhao!" The old man exclaimed and wanted to go forward to check, but his steps staggered because of his serious injuries.

Li Zhao struggled to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked firmly at the increasingly dazzling dark magic circle, without any intention of retreating.

The fragment in his hand shone brightly, and the ancient symbol was faintly visible in the light, as if urging him on.

Li Zhao concentrated his mind, trying to find clues to crack the dark magic circle from these familiar yet unfamiliar symbols.

Suddenly, an idea flashed in Li Zhao's mind. He remembered that he seemed to have seen similar symbols in the fragments of ancient books in the ruins.

That is a record of the ancient sealing power, which is said to be able to compete with the power of darkness and even seal it.

A fire of hope ignited in Li Zhao's heart, and he realized that the fragment in his hand might be the key to unlocking the sealed power.

He gripped the fragment tightly, pouring the power of the purifying crystal, the light gem, the crystal ball, and the jade pendant into it continuously.

The fragments' light suddenly surged, blinding the viewer. Within the light, an ancient symbol slowly emerged, then detached from the fragments, hovering in the air, emitting a mysterious and powerful aura.

The dark magic circle seemed to feel threatened, and the originally stable runes began to flicker violently, and dark energy rushed towards the symbols like a surging tide.

The symbol remained unmoved, floating there quietly, emitting circles of golden light, counteracting the dark energy.

Seeing this, Li Zhao immediately stood up, waving the sword of purifying light, and rushed towards the dark magic circle.

At this moment, with the help of the mysterious power emitted by the fragments, he felt the flow of the power of the dark magic circle.

He discovered that although the dark magic circle was powerful, some minor flaws appeared under the illumination of the symbolic light.

Li Zhao seized the opportunity, condensed the purifying light into a sharp spear, and stabbed it with all his strength towards one of the flaws.

The moment the spear pierced the magic circle, the dark magic circle trembled violently and the surrounding dark energy surged wildly.

The mysterious man's voice rang out again, filled with anger and panic: "No! How could you possibly break my magic circle!"

Li Zhao ignored it and continued to increase his power output. The spear of purifying light continued to penetrate deeper into the magic circle, and the dark runes were shattered wherever it went.

Just when Li Zhao thought victory was in sight, the dark magic circle suddenly underwent a strange change.

The originally broken runes quickly reorganized, and the dark energy gathered in an instant, forming a huge dark hand, grabbing towards Li Zhao.

Li Zhao was unable to dodge and was tightly grasped by the dark hand. The powerful dark force began to erode his body.

Li Zhao felt severe pain all over his body and his strength was draining away, but he still gritted his teeth and did not give up.

"Li Zhao!" The old man was extremely anxious. He used up his last bit of strength and threw the crutch in his hand towards the hand of darkness.

The crutch turned into a ray of light and hit the Hand of Darkness. The Hand of Darkness trembled slightly, and Li Zhao took the opportunity to break free from the restraints.

He quickly adjusted his state and looked at the dark magic circle again.

The light of the fragments began to become unstable, and the ancient symbols gradually became blurred and seemed to be about to disappear. Li Zhao knew that this was his last chance.

He exerted the power of all the treasures to the extreme, and his body was completely covered by a layer of brilliant golden light.

Then, he jumped high, and the light of the purifying sword in his hand suddenly increased, and he chopped down with all his strength towards the core of the dark magic circle.

This sword condensed all his strength and determination.

At the moment when the Sword of Purification was about to hit the magic circle, a mysterious man suddenly appeared in front of the magic circle, with the two gems in his hands shining brightly, trying to resist Li Zhao's attack.

The Sword of Purification and the power of the Dark Gem collided with each other, making a deafening sound.

The entire ruins of the Dark Tower shook violently, and the surrounding rocks rolled down.

Li Zhao only felt a strong recoil force coming, and his arm almost lost consciousness, but he still held the hilt of the sword tightly.

The mysterious man's face also looked very ugly. He didn't expect Li Zhao to be so tenacious.

Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, an unprecedented light suddenly shot out from the fragments, and a complete ancient seal pattern appeared in the light.

The seal pattern expanded rapidly, covering the dark magic circle, the mysterious man and Li Zhao.

The mysterious man looked at the seal pattern in horror and shouted, "No! This is impossible!"

The power of the dark magic circle began to dissipate rapidly under the cover of the sealing pattern, and the mysterious man's body gradually became illusory.

Li Zhao took the opportunity to increase his strength, and the Sword of Purification Light finally broke through the defense of the dark gem and pierced into the core of the dark magic circle.

The dark magic circle shattered in an instant, and the powerful dark energy spread out like a flood.

Under the effect of the sealing pattern, these dark energies did not wreak havoc, but were gradually sealed.

The mysterious man let out a desperate scream, and his body turned into a ball of black smoke and disappeared.

As the dark magic circle was broken, the dark light column gradually dissipated and the dark aura around it quickly weakened.

Li Zhao collapsed to the ground exhausted, the light of the treasure in his hand becoming dim. The old man hurried over and helped Li Zhao up, his eyes full of relief and concern: "Son, you did it."

Li Zhao forced a smile: "Senior, thanks to this fragment, we have temporarily prevented the passage to the dark world from opening."

After the two of them rested for a while, Li Zhao picked up the fragment and looked at it carefully.

Although the fragments were dim at this time, the ancient seal pattern was still clearly visible.

Li Zhao was full of doubts. What was the origin of this fragment?

Why can it work together with these treasures to exert such powerful power?

Although the mysterious man was defeated, the dark forces will obviously not give up. What challenges will they face next?

Just as Li Zhao was lost in thought, a sinister laugh suddenly rang out from the sky: "Hahaha, do you think this is the end? This is just the tip of the iceberg of the power of darkness. The real darkness is about to descend..."

The laughter echoed over the ruins for a long time. Li Zhaohe and the old man looked up and saw a huge black cloud rapidly gathering in the distant sky. A strange purple light flashed in the cloud, as if foreshadowing that a more terrible crisis was about to come.
