Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

The secret chamber shook violently, and stones fell from the walls. "What's going on?" Ni Mantian gripped her sword tightly, her eyes darting around in a panic.

"It seems that the protective mechanism of the 'Heart of Chaos' is not just this." Bai Zihua's expression was solemn. He quickly shielded Hua Qiangu behind him and signaled the other disciples to remain vigilant.

Sha Qianmo scoffed, "Whatever trouble they cause, I'll kill them one by one!" With that, his demonic power surged, shattering the falling stones.

Looking at the floating "Heart of Chaos," Lingyue said anxiously, "This tremor has probably triggered other guardian forces. We must leave with the 'Heart of Chaos' immediately!"

Hua Qiangu nodded and was about to reach for the "Heart of Chaos" when suddenly, a black light shot out from the depths of the secret chamber, instantly enveloping the "Heart of Chaos." Then, a humanoid figure exuding a dark aura slowly emerged.

"You fools, how dare you try to lay a finger on the 'Heart of Chaos'!" The dark figure uttered a sharp voice that echoed through the secret chamber.

"And who are you, you monster?" Sha Qianmo glared angrily, his weapon pointing directly at the dark figure.

The shadowy figure sneered, "I am Shadow Fiend, secretly placed here by the Shadow Cult to guard the 'Heart of Chaos.' Today is your death day!"

"You think you can take me?" Sha Qianmo flashed forward like a streak of light, charging towards Ying Sha with his weapon imbued with powerful demonic energy, slashing fiercely at Ying Sha. Ying Sha remained calm, a black scythe appearing in his hand. With a gentle swing, he clashed with Sha Qianmo's attack, unleashing a powerful shockwave.

"Everyone, attack together! We can't let him escape with the 'Heart of Chaos'!" Hua Qiangu shouted, wielding her divine weapon, a dazzling beam of light shooting towards Ying Sha. Bai Zihua also moved immediately, his sword energy crisscrossing, attacking Ying Sha from another direction.

The other disciples responded in unison, unleashing a multitude of magical lights that flew towards Shadow Fiend. Enveloped in the onslaught, Shadow Fiend remained unfazed. He wielded his scythe, weaving freely through the magical light while simultaneously releasing dark power to deflect the attacks.

"This Shadow Fiend is quite powerful, everyone be careful!" Dongfang Yuqing warned as he waved his folding fan, releasing streams of spiritual energy runes in an attempt to disrupt the Shadow Fiend's movements.

"Damn it, his defense is too tight!" Sha Qianmo gritted his teeth and increased the intensity of his attack, his demonic power surging towards Ying Sha like a raging tide.

At this moment, Hua Qiangu noticed a slight opening on Ying Sha's left side as he defended against Sha Qianmo's attack. Seizing the opportunity, she flashed to Ying Sha's left and thrust her divine weapon fiercely at him. Ying Sha sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but Hua Qiangu's attack was too fast. He could only dodge to the side, and the "Heart of Chaos" was thus exposed.

"Now!" Bai Zihua seized the opportunity and struck the dark power enveloping the "Heart of Chaos" with precision. The "Heart of Chaos" flashed and broke free from some of its restraints.

"Don't even think about taking it away!" Seeing this, Shadow Demon abandoned his attack and focused all his efforts on reclaiming the "Heart of Chaos." He turned around, transforming into a black shadow, and pounced towards the "Heart of Chaos."

Sha Qianmo was not about to let him succeed. He leaped up, flipped in mid-air, and slammed his weapon into the ground. A huge barrier of demonic energy rose instantly, blocking Ying Sha's path.

"You think you can stop me like this?" Shadow Fiend roared, swinging his scythe and unleashing dark power that slashed at the demonic energy barrier like a sharp blade. The barrier trembled violently under the attack of the dark power, on the verge of shattering.

"Everyone, let's reinforce the barrier!" Hua Qiangu shouted. Everyone cast spells, channeling their power into the demonic energy barrier. With everyone's efforts, the demonic energy barrier was stabilized once again.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can last!" Shadow Fiend continued to attack the barrier while chanting incantations. Suddenly, black cracks appeared on the floor of the secret chamber, from which countless black tentacles surged and coiled towards the group.

"Watch out for those tentacles!" Lingyue shouted a warning. Everyone quickly dodged and attacked the black tentacles at the same time. However, the black tentacles kept coming, and they were quickly caught in a difficult situation.

"This won't do; we must finish this quickly!" Bai Zihua said. He dodged the tentacles' attacks while pondering a solution.

Just then, Hua Qiangu suddenly thought of a way. She concentrated her mind and brought the power of the divine artifact to its limit. A powerful purifying light shot out from the artifact and shone on the black tentacles. Under the illumination of the purifying light, the black tentacles instantly dissipated.

"This is..." Shadow Demon revealed a hint of fear upon seeing this scene.

"Now! Attack him!" Hua Qiangu shouted. Seizing the opportunity, the group launched another attack on Ying Sha. Sha Qianmo unleashed a full-force strike, his demonic power striking Ying Sha like a cannonball. Hit, Ying Sha swayed a few times, and the "Heart of Chaos" in his hand once again revealed an opening.

Bai Zihua seized the opportunity, his figure flashed, and he arrived beside the "Heart of Chaos," reaching out to grab it. "Got it!" Bai Zihua shouted.

"No!" Seeing this, Ying Sha rushed towards Bai Zihua without regard for his own safety. However, he was powerless to change the situation at this moment. Under the combined attack of everyone, Ying Sha finally fell to the ground and disappeared in a wisp of black smoke.

"Phew, finally solved." A disciple breathed a sigh of relief, his face showing exhaustion.

"Is everyone alright?" Hua Qiangu asked with concern. Everyone replied that they were fine.

"Great, we finally got the 'Heart of Chaos'." Lingyue's face showed a relieved smile.

“However, we cannot let our guard down. The Shadow Cult may be nearby and could appear at any moment,” Bai Zihua said, gripping the “Heart of Chaos” tightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.

“That’s right, we need to leave here quickly and go back to Changliu Mountain,” Hua Qiangu said.

The group cautiously left the secret chamber and headed out of the Misty Forest. Along the way, they vigilantly observed their surroundings, fearing a sudden appearance from the Shadow Cult.

However, just as they were about to leave the Misty Forest, a group of dark figures suddenly appeared in front of them...

"It seems the Shadow Cult has caught up after all." Sha Qianmo gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"No matter how many of them come, we will not let them take the 'Heart of Chaos'!" Hua Qiangu said firmly, gripping the artifact tightly, radiating a powerful aura.

The battle between the people of Changliu Mountain and the Shadow Cult is about to erupt. Will they be able to successfully protect the "Heart of Chaos" and return to Changliu Mountain? Everything is shrouded in uncertainty...
