A Fantasy Love Story Across the Warring States Period

Chapter 365 Shadowy Entanglement, Mystery of the Ancient Book

The eerie laughter echoing through the space grew louder, seemingly threatening to shatter everyone's souls. The black figures emerging from the walls, like ghosts, slowly approached Huanmo and the others in the flickering, ghostly light. Each movement of the shadowy figures brought with it a chilling gust of air, causing everyone to shiver involuntarily.

Huanmo gripped the artifact tightly, his palms sweating. His heart pounded, his eyes fixed on the dark figures, filled with vigilance. "What is the origin of these figures? They don't seem benevolent." Fear, like a cold snake, slowly crawled through his heart, but he knew he couldn't back down; his companions were counting on him.

Yi Chen held the broken spear horizontally in front of him, his eyes revealing a resolute determination. "Whatever they are, if they want to harm us, they'll have to get past me first!" Although his voice was firm, the previous battle had left him physically and mentally exhausted, and now, facing these unknown shadowy figures, he couldn't help but feel some apprehension.

The woman in white trembled slightly. She instinctively moved closer to Huanmo and Yichen, clutching the ribbon tightly in her hand. "This place is getting more and more eerie. What should we do?" Her voice trembled, and her eyes were full of unease.

The mysterious figure frowned, carefully observing the movements of the shadowy figures. "Everyone, don't panic. Although these shadowy figures seem numerous, their movements appear to be restricted in some way. Let's see if we can find their weakness." As he spoke, he secretly gathered his strength, preparing to deal with any unexpected situations.

As the shadowy figure drew closer, Yi Chen launched the first attack. He roared and swung his broken spear, sending a beam of blue light towards the leading figure. However, the shadowy figure merely dodged the attack with a slight movement, then swiftly extended a black arm to grab at Yi Chen. Yi Chen quickly sidestepped, but the shadowy figure's fingernails still tore his sleeve.

"Be careful, they're very fast!" Yi Chen warned.

Seeing this, Huanmo raised his divine artifact, and a beam of light shot out from it, striking another dark figure. The figure, struck by the light, let out a piercing scream, and its body trembled slightly. But it quickly returned to normal and continued to approach the group.

"It seems these shadowy figures have some resistance to the attacks of the divine artifact," Huanmo said, frowning.

The woman in white danced with her ribbons, which transformed into streaks of white light that shot towards the shadowy figures. The shadowy figures seemed wary of these white lights and dodged them. However, a few still managed to rush forward during a lull in the attack.

The mysterious figure formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Instantly, a golden light barrier appeared in front of everyone, blocking the shadowy figures' attacks. The shadowy figures crashed into the light barrier, making a sizzling sound, but they could not break through it.

"This light barrier won't last much longer. We must find a way to deal with these shadowy figures as soon as possible!" the mysterious figure said.

Huanmo watched the shadowy figures constantly crashing into the light barrier, his heart filled with anxiety. Suddenly, he noticed the ancient book on the stone platform; the golden light emanating from it seemed to have some kind of attraction for the shadowy figures. Whenever the light flickered, the shadowy figures would pause slightly.

"Look, everyone! The light from that ancient book seems to affect these shadowy figures. Perhaps we can use it!" Huanmo shouted.

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their gaze to the ancient book on the stone platform. "But how do we get close to it? These shadowy figures won't let us pass easily," Yi Chen said.

After pondering for a moment, Huanmo said, "I'll use the artifact to attract the shadowy figure's attention. Yichen, you take the opportunity to rush over and try to break through the energy barrier around the ancient book. White-clad woman and mysterious senior, you two cover us."

"Okay, let's do it that way!" everyone responded in unison.

Huanmo took a deep breath and unleashed the full power of the divine artifact's light. The intense light instantly illuminated the entire space, and the shadowy figures, seemingly enraged by the light, pounced towards Huanmo.

"Yichen, now!" Huanmo shouted.

Seizing the opportunity, Yi Chen charged towards the stone platform like a blue lightning bolt. The woman in white and the mysterious figure launched a full-scale attack, blocking the pursuit of the other shadowy figures. For a moment, the space flickered with light, and shouts of battle echoed continuously.

As Yi Chen rushed towards the stone platform, he constantly dodged the attacks of the shadowy figure. Several times, the shadowy figure's attacks nearly hit him, but he narrowly avoided them all thanks to his agile skills.

Finally, Yi Chen arrived at the stone platform. Looking at the energy barrier surrounding the ancient book, he took a deep breath, then swung his broken spear, thrusting it with all his might towards the barrier. The broken spear collided with the barrier, emitting a dazzling light and a piercing sound. However, the barrier only trembled slightly and remained unbroken.

"What's going on? This barrier is so sturdy!" Yi Chen was shocked.

Just then, more shadowy figures surrounded Yi Chen. Yi Chen was in danger; he struggled to resist the attacks of the shadowy figures while trying to break through the barrier again.

Seeing Yi Chen's predicament, Huan Mo and the others were extremely anxious. "We have to help him quickly, or Yi Chen will be in danger!" Huan Mo said, increasing the attack power of the divine weapon in an attempt to attract the attention of more shadowy figures.

The woman in white and the mysterious figure disregarded their own safety and desperately attacked the shadowy figure to relieve the pressure on Yi Chen.
