A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye were still immersed in the joy of taking down the big boss. The smell of blood in the air had not yet dissipated, and the two were just short of high-fiving to celebrate their victory in this team battle.

Who knew that this dungeon would be like an endless mode, giving you absolutely no chance to breathe!

"Li'er, I feel like something's not right?" Jiang Ye scratched his head, his handsome face full of doubt, his youthful charm practically overflowing the screen.

Ye Shuli also noticed the unusual nature of the surrounding space.

The air became thick, like stirred paste, making it difficult to breathe.

The once clear sky now looked as if it had been splashed with ink, a dark and oppressive expanse that made it hard to breathe.

In the air, wisps of black energy flickered like ghosts, sending chills down one's spine.

"Is this some kind of trouble-making scheme?" Ye Shuli's heart skipped a beat, and she had a feeling that some treacherous subject was trying to harm her.

Jiang Ye held Ye Shuli's hand tightly, his palms sweating.

He could sense that an unprecedented crisis was approaching.

This feeling is like realizing you haven't studied anything before a final exam – it's incredibly disheartening.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the distorted space, and a dense black aura surged out from the crack.

These breaths, as if alive, twisted and tumbled in the air, emitting eerie whispers.

Immediately afterwards, one after another, hideous monsters crawled out from the cracks.

These monsters were completely different from the previous Fate Puppets. They were much larger, covered in black scales, and emitted a nauseating stench.

Their eyes are blood red, filled with bloodlust and madness.

Each monster exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, as if it were a demon crawling out of the depths of hell.

"What the hell is this? Is this a scene from Resident Evil?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but swear. This look was way too much of a challenge to his aesthetic standards!

Ye Shuli's expression also turned serious. These monsters were even more powerful than the previous Fate Puppets, and there were also more of them.

It seems we've really run into trouble this time.

"Stop talking nonsense, prepare for battle!" Ye Shuli shouted and charged forward first.

She's not the kind of weak girl who sits and waits to be killed; she's a modern, independent woman who has to stand up to the challenge!

Ye Shuli concentrated the power she gained from the duel of fate in her palm and unleashed a blow at the monster horde.

A dazzling light burst forth instantly, illuminating the entire space like a blazing sun.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, the monsters at the front were struck by the light and instantly vanished into nothingness.

The other monsters were also intimidated by this powerful force and retreated.

"Beautiful!" Jiang Ye couldn't help but cheer for Ye Shuli. This move was simply amazing!

However, these monsters were not deterred by Ye Shuli's attack. They quickly adjusted their stance and pounced on the two of them again.

These monsters seem to have no sense of pain, completely disregard life and death, and only think about tearing their prey to pieces.

Jiang Ye didn't dare to be negligent and quickly joined the battle.

His longsword swung like the wind, each swing taking the life of a monster.

"Wind and residual clouds!"

Jiang Ye shouted and unleashed his ultimate technique.

A series of sharp sword energies swept out like a hurricane, enveloping all the surrounding monsters.

"Puff puff……"

The sword energy pierced through the monster's body, producing a sickening sound.

One by one, the monsters fell to the ground, turning into puddles of black liquid.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye stood back to back, cooperating to fend off the monster's attacks.

Ye Shuli is responsible for ranged attacks, using powerful energy to blast monsters to pieces; Jiang Ye is responsible for close combat, using superb swordsmanship to kill monsters.

The two worked together seamlessly, combining offense and defense effectively, and for a time managed to suppress the monster horde.

However, the number of monsters was simply too great, seemingly endless.

Even with Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye giving it their all, they were unable to completely eliminate them.

As time went on, Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye's physical strength began to decline, and they sustained more and more wounds.

Their movements became sluggish, and they began to feel somewhat powerless.

"No, this can't go on, there are too many monsters!" Jiang Ye said breathlessly, his clothes stained with blood, looking utterly disheveled.

Ye Shuli was in no better condition; her face was pale and there was blood at the corner of her mouth.

The long battle had exhausted her, and her spiritual energy was completely depleted.

"I know, but we have no way out," Ye Shuli said through gritted teeth.

Behind them are the ordinary people they are protecting; they cannot retreat, and they have nowhere to retreat!

"Damn it, I'll risk it all!" Jiang Ye roared, and once again charged towards the monster horde with his sword.

Ye Shuli also took a deep breath, mobilizing all the remaining spiritual power in her body, preparing for a desperate fight.

Just then, Ye Shuli suddenly sensed an unusual energy fluctuation.

This energy fluctuation did not originate from the monster, but from her own body.

To her surprise, she discovered that something within her seemed to be awakening... It felt like a sleeping dragon slowly opening its eyes.

What exactly is going on?

Ye Shuli frowned, the light in her hand flickering.

These monsters are definitely not just simple magical beasts.

The black aura surrounding them was exactly the same as the power of fate used by that old codger!

"Could it be..." A bold conjecture flashed through Ye Shuli's mind, "These monsters are the embodiment of the power of fate? The remnants of that old guy's power after his death?"

If that's the case, then simple physical attacks are completely useless.

We must find a way to restrain the power of fate in order to eliminate these monsters at their root.

Otherwise, even if you cut them all to smithereens, they'll just revive in a couple of days, creating an endless nesting problem!

In the instant Ye Shuli was distracted, a gigantic monster suddenly pounced on her.

The monster opened its blood-red maw, and a foul stench assaulted the senses, enough to knock a person unconscious.

"Li'er, be careful!"

Jiang Ye reacted quickly, rushing to Ye Shuli and shoving her aside.

"Pfft-"

The monster's claws gripped Jiang Ye's back, tearing a deep, bone-revealing wound in an instant.

Blood gushed out like a fountain, staining his clothes red.

"Ye!" Ye Shuli exclaimed in surprise, her pupils suddenly contracting.

Jiang Ye groaned, swayed a few times, and knelt down on one knee.

He endured the severe pain and clenched his teeth to prevent himself from falling.

"Ye, how are you?!" Ye Shuli rushed over and supported Jiang Ye, her voice filled with worry and anxiety.

"I...I'm fine..." Jiang Ye grinned, trying to comfort Ye Shuli, but the movement aggravated his wound, causing him to gasp in pain.

"Hiss... Damn, this beast is ruthless!"

Seeing Jiang Ye's pained expression, Ye Shuli felt as if her heart was being pierced by needles.

A surge of intense anger erupted like a volcano.

"You damned monsters!" Ye Shuli roared, her eyes flashing with a dangerous light.

She slowly stood up, and her aura instantly became sharp.

The originally gentle light had become blindingly bright, as if it contained a world-destroying power.

"Today, I'll show you what happens when you anger me!"

Ye Shuli concentrated all her power in her palm and slammed it hard into the ground.

With a deafening roar, the ground instantly cracked open, and countless dazzling rays of light shot out from the fissures.

Wherever the light passed, the monsters melted instantly, like ice and snow scorched by the blazing sun, and vanished into nothingness.

In the blink of an eye, a large number of monsters were wiped out by Ye Shuli's power, and the surrounding space was cleared up.

"Huff...huff..." Ye Shuli gasped for breath, her face as pale as paper.

That last attack almost exhausted all her strength.

She staggered a few steps and almost fell to the ground.

Jiang Ye quickly helped her up and asked with concern, "Li'er, are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." Ye Shuli shook her head and forced a smile.

"I'm just a little exhausted."

Just when Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye thought they could catch their breath, the surrounding dark aura suddenly began to gather.

These auras, as if drawn by some mysterious force, frantically coalesced into the air.

In the blink of an eye, a huge black sphere appeared in front of the two.

The sphere was over ten meters tall, completely black, and exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.

On the surface of the sphere, countless black lightning bolts moved erratically, emitting eerie crackling sounds.

"What...what is this thing?!" Jiang Ye stared wide-eyed at the black sphere in front of him in disbelief.

He could sense that the sphere contained an extremely terrifying power, enough to devour them instantly.

Ye Shuli's expression also became extremely solemn.

She could sense that this black sphere was far more powerful than any of the monsters she had encountered before.

This is definitely not a force she can currently contend with.

"Li'er, be careful! Get out of the way!" Ignoring his own injuries, Jiang Ye pulled Ye Shuli behind him and shielded her with his own body.

Looking at the enormous dark sphere before her and the slightly frail yet incredibly determined figure in front of her, Ye Shuli was filled with emotion and worry.

Can they withstand this terrifying attack?

The black sphere rotated slowly, exuding an aura of despair.

Suddenly, a black lightning bolt from the surface of the sphere struck Jiang Ye.

Jiang Ye's pupils suddenly contracted. He tried to dodge, but found that his body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as the black lightning bolt struck him...

At that critical moment, Jiang Ye suddenly shoved Ye Shuli away, and then...
