I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

Two days later, the man in black robes attacked again.

The crowd stood on the city gate. The moonlight was pale and stark, and wherever the man in black robes went, black mist filled the air.

The five stood ready. Tang Doudou looked at Dongfang Xu, and this time it was the two of them who would deal with the man in black robes.

The two simultaneously leaped towards the man in black robes. The man in black robes swiftly attacked, unleashing beams of black light that shot directly at the two.

Tang Doudou quickly dodged, while Dongfang Xu raised a spiritual energy shield.

The two dodged the black light and combined their strength to launch two red beams of light that rushed toward the man in black robes with tremendous force.

The man in black robes snorted coldly and waved his hand. A black spiritual force collided with the red light, instantly turning half the sky black and the other half red.

Dongfang Xu made another move, while Tang Doudou summoned runes once more. The runes transformed into chains that rushed towards the man in black robes. The man in black robes dodged repeatedly, but the chains relentlessly pursued him.

As the man in black robes dodged, he muttered incantations. In an instant, countless black shadows surged out from behind him and pounced on Tang Doudou and Dongfang Xu.

These shadowy figures moved like ghosts, incredibly fast. Dongfang Xu shouted, unleashing his full spiritual power, and countless red flames dispersed the approaching shadowy figures.

Tang Doudou formed hand seals, and the rune chains instantly dispersed, each link emitting a dazzling light, causing the shadow to disappear upon contact.

But the black-robed man's attack did not stop. He suddenly clasped his hands together, and a huge black vortex appeared in the air, generating a powerful suction force.

Tang Doudou felt her body being uncontrollably pulled towards her, and Dongfang Xu quickly grabbed her hand and used his spiritual power to stabilize her.

At this moment, the other three also eliminated the demonic beast and joined the battle. They each used their special skills, and the five spiritual energies converged together to attack the black vortex.

With a flash of bright light and an energy explosion, the man in black robes was forced back several steps, and the black vortex disappeared.

Seeing that he couldn't gain any advantage, the man in black turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared. Tang Doudou quickly activated her spatial spiritual power and chased after him.

"No!" Dongfang Xu shouted, but it was too late; Tang Doudou had already disappeared.

"What should we do?" Lin Yun looked up at Dongfang Xu.

Dongfang Xu looked in the direction Tang Doudou had left, but she was already out of sight.

"Go back and wait!" Dongfang Xu said.

“But we only have three days left here,” Zheng Bowen asked with some concern.

"Let's go search in the forest when it's light," Dongfang Xu said.

The group had no choice but to go back first.

Meanwhile, Tang Doudou followed the man in black through a transparent barrier and arrived at a pitch-black place.

"You're too reckless. How could you come here alone?" the system scolded.

"Nothing ventured, nothing gained," Tang Doudou said.

"What secret are you hiding from me?" the system said definitively.

Tang Doudou said with a smile, "You're by my side every day, how could you not know anything?"

"That thing has blocked me," the system said helplessly.

"Since you're not going to know, let's just pretend we don't know and ignore it."

"But I feel like cat claws are scratching at my heart," the system said helplessly.

"Then let me scratch," Tang Doudou said nonchalantly. Right now, her most important task was finding the man in black.

It was pitch black everywhere, and she had no idea how to get around.

"System, can you help me figure out which way to go?"

There was no response from the system.

"No way, it's been blocked again?" Tang Doudou said helplessly.

"No, I was just being temperamental with you, that's why I didn't answer you."

Tang Doudou understood and couldn't help but find it amusing. "Now you can tell me, right?"

"No, I'm having a tantrum with you," the system replied lazily.

"Are you planning to throw a tantrum for a few days?"

"That depends on your attitude! If you tell me, I won't throw a tantrum," the system replied.

"Then keep throwing a tantrum!" Tang Doudou said helplessly. "I'll go inside and take a look myself."

Tang Doudou used her spatial spiritual power to scout ahead, but unexpectedly startled a demon beast. Looking at the green eyes in front of her, Tang Doudou thought to herself that something was wrong.

Tang Doudou quickly took out a Moon Shadow Sword from her storage bag.

The monster roared and pounced, but Tang Doudou dodged to the side and simultaneously thrust her spirit sword towards the monster's eye.

The monster, in pain, became even more frenzied, swinging its enormous claws at Tang Doudou.

Tang Doudou lightly touched the ground with her feet and leaped backward. Then, she formed hand seals and shot several runes towards the monster.

Smoke rose from the spots on the monster's body where the runes struck it, and it roared angrily.
