Chapter 154: Danger is coming, the brave are not afraid
A man in black appeared, holding a black sword with a cold and murderous aura.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood back to back, staring at each other warily.
The man in black sneered: "You have ruined the master's plan, and today is the day you die!" Before he finished speaking, he flashed and pounced on the two of them like a ghost.
The black sword was swung, and the sword energy was rampant, heading straight for the vital points of Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
A flash of light appeared in Li Yuan's hand, and a golden sword appeared in his hand. The sword body hummed and emitted powerful spiritual power.
He protected Bi Yao behind him and swung his sword to meet the attack from the man in black.
"Yaoyao, go find some clues, and leave this to me!"
Bi Yao knew Li Yuan's strength, so she didn't try to show off. She tapped her toes, quickly retreated, and began to detect any abnormalities around her.
She discovered that the spiritual energy in this area was indeed fluctuating abnormally, as if it was forcibly extracted by some force, causing the surrounding grass and trees to wither and lose all vitality.
Li Yuan was fighting fiercely with the man in black. The swords flashed, and the golden light and black light collided, making bursts of harsh sounds.
The man in black was quite powerful and his moves were brutal. Although Li Yuan had a slight advantage, he still found it difficult to defeat him for the time being.
During the investigation, Bi Yao discovered that the center of the abnormal spiritual power was actually a seemingly ordinary mountain.
She had an idea and immediately flew towards the mountain.
However, just as she approached the peak, a powerful force bounced her away.
"Want to get in? Not that easy!" The man in black appeared in front of Bi Yao at some point, with the black sword in his hand pointing directly at her heart.
Li Yuan was shocked when he saw this and rushed to support.
Bi Yao was not afraid at all, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
A jade talisman appeared in her hand, emitting a faint golden light.
The man in black saw this and his expression changed slightly: "You...you actually have..."
Bi Yao didn't give him a chance to speak. The jade talisman shattered instantly, and a golden light enveloped the man in black.
The man in black let out a scream and his figure gradually disappeared.
Li Yuan came to Bi Yao and asked with concern: "Yaoyao, are you okay?"
Bi Yao shook her head, her expression grim. "I'm fine, but things might be more complicated than we imagined." She looked toward the mountain, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. "What secrets are hidden there?"
At this moment, the mountain suddenly shook, and a dazzling light shot up from the top of the mountain, illuminating the entire night sky.
"Not good..." Bi Yao's face changed and she grabbed Li Yuan's hand, "Let's go!" Li Yuan pulled Bi Yao to a quiet corner and gently held her face...
Li Yuan pulled Bi Yao to a quiet corner. He gently held Bi Yao's face, his eyes full of affection.
"Yaoyao, no matter what happens, I will face it with you." His low voice trembled slightly, as if he was swearing an eternal promise.
Bi Yao felt his warm palm, and a warm current surged in her heart, dispelling her previous worries and fears.
She took the initiative to put her arms around Li Yuan's neck, and the two of them couldn't help but kiss each other. The air around them seemed to become hot. Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and only the sound of each other's heartbeats echoed in their ears.
After the kiss, Bi Yao's eyes became firm.
She took a deep breath and mobilized the newly acquired inherited power in her body. A powerful energy wave emanated from her body and spread out like ripples.
The surrounding trees swayed gently, and the flowers and plants danced with them, as if cheering for her.
She began to trace the source of the spiritual fluctuations. The mysterious power was like a silk thread, guiding her step by step towards the truth.
Bi Yao's power amazed the surrounding cultivators. They had never seen such a powerful force. Some people who originally doubted them began to waver. Perhaps these two people could really change everything.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan walked side by side, their figures appearing particularly tall in the moonlight, like two insurmountable mountains.
"Found it!" Bi Yao suddenly stopped and fixed his eyes on a hidden cave deep in the mountain.
An even thicker dark aura emanated from the cave, making people shudder.
Li Yuan also felt this powerful force. He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, ready to fight at any time.
"Let's go in and take a look." Bi Yao said in a firm tone without any hesitation.
She walked towards the cave first, and Li Yuan followed closely behind. Their figures disappeared into the darkness.
Deep in the cave, a huge altar emits a strange light. The altar is engraved with ancient runes, and a suffocating sense of oppression fills the air.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan approached the altar cautiously. Suddenly, Bi Yao felt a powerful force locking onto her. She turned around abruptly...
"Who?!"
Bi Yao turned around suddenly and saw a group of cultivators with bloodshot eyes and black mist surrounding them, pouncing towards them like wild beasts.
These immortal cultivators had hideous faces, their original immortal demeanor was gone, replaced by a frightening evil aura.
They brandished their weapons and attacked Bi Yao and Li Yuan frantically with terrifying murderous intent.
"These immortal cultivators have been corrupted by the power of darkness!" Bi Yao saw the clue at a glance. The jade talisman in his hand spun rapidly, and golden light shot out, repelling the approaching immortal cultivators.
Li Yuan was not to be outdone. He waved his golden sword like the wind, and the sword energy was so strong that it forced back the dark forces.
However, these corrupted cultivators were fearless and continued to attack frantically even when seriously injured.
Their attacks carried a strange dark power, which was able to withstand the attacks of Bi Yao and Li Yuan.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan gradually felt overwhelmed. Their spiritual energy was consumed greatly, but they were unable to effectively repel the enemy.
"We can't go on like this. Their attacks have dark attributes, and the effects of our spells have been weakened!" Bi Yao was fending off the attacks while quickly thinking of countermeasures.
Li Yuan also noticed this. He frowned and thought hard about how to break the deadlock.
Suddenly, Li Yuan had an idea and remembered what he had read in ancient books: dark forces were afraid of spells with light attributes.
He immediately changed his tactics and transformed his spiritual power into pure light. The golden sword in his hand shone brightly, as dazzling as a small sun.
"Yaoyao, cover me!" Li Yuan shouted, and swung the golden sword in his hand violently. A dazzling light shot towards the corroded cultivator like a sharp sword.
Wherever the light reached, the dark power melted like ice and snow. The cultivators who were corroded let out painful howls, the black mist on their bodies gradually dissipated, and their eyes became clear again.
"Thank you two fellow immortals for the rescue!" The immortal cultivators who had recovered to normal thanked Bi Yao and Li Yuan one after another, their eyes full of gratitude.
They originally came here to explore strange phenomena, but they didn't expect to be eroded by the power of darkness. If Bi Yao and Li Yuan hadn't rescued them, they would have become puppets of darkness.
However, just as everyone was rejoicing, an even more powerful dark aura surged out from the depths of the altar, sweeping over like a tide.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan's expressions changed. They felt the power of this force, which was far beyond what the cultivators who had been corroded before could achieve.
"It seems that the real mastermind behind this is about to appear..." Bi Yao said in a low voice, with a hint of solemnity in his eyes.
Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Yaoyao, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will protect you."
A strong sense of oppression enveloped the two of them, and the runes on the altar began to flash with strange light, as if something was about to break out.
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in the cave: "Who dares to disturb my plan?"
Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other with firm eyes. They knew that the real battle had just begun.
A jade slip appeared in Bi Yao's hand, emitting a soft light that illuminated the surrounding darkness.
She handed the jade slip to Li Yuan and said softly, "Take this, it may be useful at a critical moment."
Li Yuan took the jade slip and nodded solemnly. The two of them slowly walked towards the altar, each step taken with extraordinary determination.
The light on the altar became brighter and brighter, and the cold aura became stronger and stronger.
Suddenly, a dark shadow slowly rose from the altar...
"You all must die!"
