As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

Just as they were about to leave the light, a powerful force suddenly surged out from the ground, like an invisible giant hand, pulling them towards the center of the light again.

This force came so fast that it caught people off guard.

Ding Chen felt the ground beneath his feet shaking violently, as if the entire space was shaking, and a deafening rumbling sound came from his ears.

The light flickered, sometimes brighter and sometimes dimmed, like a candle in a strong wind, which could go out at any time.

This light contained some kind of indescribable danger, filling everyone's hearts with fear.

Youruo and Elder Gu's expressions became solemn, and their eyes were full of vigilance.

Yingyue's face also showed uneasiness. Her long hair looked even more ethereal under the light, but there was a hint of panic in her eyes.

Ding Chen hugged Xiaoxuan and Yingyue tightly, but the force became stronger and stronger, and he felt his body being gradually pulled apart.

His heart was filled with anxiety and helplessness, and he was unwilling to let go.

His muscles tensed and his arms strained, trying to resist the invisible pull, but every effort seemed so powerless.

"Xiaoxuan, don't be afraid, I won't let you get hurt!" Ding Chen's voice was full of determination, but his face could not hide a trace of anger and helplessness.

There was a glint of determination in his eyes, but he also knew that this power was far beyond his imagination.

Xiaoxuan looked at Ding Chen, her eyes full of worry. Her voice was weak but firm: "Brother Chen, get out quickly and leave me alone!"

Ding Chen shook his head, his eyes firm: "No, I can't abandon you!"

At this moment, a sharp scream suddenly came from the light, as if some ancient and powerful power was about to awaken.

Everyone's attention was involuntarily drawn to the light, and their hearts were filled with uneasiness.

Elder Gu and Youruo's expressions became increasingly solemn. Their eyes moved back and forth between Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan, as if looking for a solution.

Ding Chen felt that the force was gradually separating him and Xiaoxuan, and his heart was filled with despair.

Xiaoxuan shouted anxiously: "Ding Chen, go! You can't stay!"

Ding Chen's heart was filled with contradictions. He took a deep breath, his eyes gleaming with determination, and whispered, "I won't abandon you, no!"

In the interweaving of light and shadow, Elder Gu and Youruo's eyes met, as if they were making some decision.

Ding Chen had only one thought in his mind - he had to protect them no matter what.

Youruo took the first step. She quickly formed seals with her hands, and a circle of emerald green flames ignited around her body. The flames twisted and emitted sharp hissing sounds, trying to burn away the invisible pulling force.

However, that power was as unshakable as the abyss. When the green fire hit it, it was instantly swallowed up without even a ripple.

Youruo's face was pale, with a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth. Her body was shaking like a candle in the wind.

Seeing this, the wrinkles on Elder Gu's old face deepened. He slowly raised his wrinkled palm, and an ancient rune appeared on his palm, emitting a dazzling golden light.

He growled, and the rune suddenly pushed forward, trying to pull everyone back with its powerful force.

However, that power was like a bottomless pit. The light of the golden rune was instantly swallowed up. Elder Gu's body trembled violently. He groaned, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and a look of despair appeared on his originally serious face.

He had never encountered such a powerful force before. His own strength was like an ant trying to shake a tree in front of this force. He was unable to compete with it at all.

The roars around became more shrill and the flashes of light became more intense.

Yingyue was biting her lips tightly, her eyes full of worry. Her slender fingers were tightly clenching the corner of her clothes, and her ethereal face was full of helplessness.

She could feel the power of that force, but she didn't know what to do and could only watch everyone struggle.

At this moment, Xiaoxuan suddenly calmed down. She stopped shouting and struggling. Instead, she closed her eyes, looking calm as if she was sleeping.

A faint golden mark appeared on her forehead, emitting a faint light.

Everyone looked at her in surprise, feeling that the energy fluctuations around her seemed to be pulled by some force and were converging towards Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoxuan's hands danced slowly in front of her body, as if conducting an invisible piece of music. The energy fluctuations in the air changed with her movements, forming vortices visible to the naked eye. At the center of the vortex was her.

The force pulling them seemed to be disturbed by something and began to become unstable.

Elder Gu and Youruo looked at this scene in shock. They couldn't believe that such a young woman could control such powerful energy and seemed to be able to resist the terrifying pulling force.

Their

Just when everyone thought Xiaoxuan was about to succeed, a low voice suddenly came from the light, like the roar of a wild beast, filled with endless anger.

The sound exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, causing their eardrums to hurt and their hearts to beat violently.

"How dare you... disturb my slumber?"

Just when everyone thought Xiaoxuan was about to succeed, a low voice suddenly came from the light, like the roar of a wild beast, filled with endless anger.

The voice exploded in everyone's ears like thunder, causing their eardrums to ache and their hearts to beat violently. "How dare you... disturb my slumber?"

As he spoke, extremely sharp energy blades suddenly emerged from the light. They seemed to be torn out from the void, emitting a sharp cold light.

These energy blades were densely packed, like dense raindrops, flying towards Xiaoxuan.

Each energy blade contained powerful force, as if it could cut a person into pieces with one blow.

Ding Chen's expression suddenly changed, his heart was beating wildly, and without any hesitation, he jumped forward and blocked Xiaoxuan with his body.

The energy blades hit his back like hail, each blade piercing through his clothes and piercing his skin, splashing blood everywhere.

Ding Chen felt a severe pain coming like a tide, so painful that he almost collapsed.

But his eyes remained firm, he gritted his teeth, and tried his best to protect Xiaoxuan.

"Xiaoxuan, step back quickly!" Ding Chen's voice was hoarse and firm. His face was full of pain and anxiety, but there was an unyielding light in his eyes.

Youruo and Elder Gu were shocked when they witnessed Ding Chen's heroic feat.

A trace of admiration appeared on the aged face of Elder Shuanggu of Youruo. He whispered, "This young man is truly extraordinary."

Under Ding Chen's protection, Xiaoxuan continued to guide the energy fluctuations without distraction.

Her hands danced in the air, as if conducting an invisible melody. The energy fluctuations in the air changed with her movements, forming vortices visible to the naked eye.

In the center of the vortex, her body was shrouded in a faint golden light, which gradually condensed into a protective shield, tightly wrapping everyone inside.

The moment the protective shield was formed, all the energy blades were blocked outside and the light began to gradually stabilize.

A hint of relief appeared on everyone's face, and the tense atmosphere eased slightly.

Ding Chen leaned on the protective shield, enduring the severe pain, but a faint smile appeared in his eyes: "Xiaoxuan, you are really amazing..."

However, at this moment, some strange runes suddenly appeared in the protective shield. These runes seemed to be born from the void, emitting a strange light.

Runes fluttered around everyone's bodies, as if absorbing their strength.

Ding Chen felt a force being slowly drained from his body, and his body gradually became weak.

Elder Gu's expression suddenly changed, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "These runes... they are absorbing our power!"

Xiaoxuan raised her head, a determined light flashing in her eyes. She held Ding Chen's hand tightly: "No matter what, we must persevere..."

Suddenly, the rune's light became brighter, as if foreshadowing the coming of a new crisis.

Yingyue's face was pale, and her voice was trembling: "How long... can we hold on..."

However, a new crisis has quietly arrived, the power of the runes is still increasing, and everyone's hearts are filled with unknown fear and expectations.
