Jin Ling Xian Xia investigates the truth in deep space

Chapter 144 A thrilling battle

"No! We can't give up like this!" Jin Lingxianxia struggled with all his might, trying to escape the powerful suction from the stone tower. However, the suction was like a black hole, growing stronger and stronger, as if it was going to swallow them all up.

At this moment, a mysterious and powerful voice suddenly rang out among the coalition forces. The voice was as deafening as thunder, yet it also carried a reassuring power: "Children, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you!"

Everyone looked up in surprise, only to see a dazzling light streaking down from the sky. That light held endless hope and power, as if it were a light of salvation from another world, capable of dispelling all darkness and evil.

"Who is it? Which senior master?" A hint of surprise flashed in Shuirou Fairy's eyes. She held the silk jade belt tightly, trying to use this force to resist the suction of the stone tower.

However, just as the light was about to touch them, the suction force of the stone tower suddenly reached its peak. Everyone felt an irresistible force pulling them towards the darkness, as if to imprison them forever in this endless abyss.

"No! Senior! Save us!" Lin Feng shouted loudly. He tightly grasped the primitive ancient wooden staff. The runes on the staff flickered faintly in the darkness. That was his last hope.

But the only response he got was bursts of laughter coming from within the stone tower. The sound seemed to come from the souls of countless dead people, full of resentment and despair.

"Hmph, you are just a mere ant, how dare you dream of escaping from my control?" A cold voice came from the stone tower, with endless majesty and unquestionableness in the voice.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this?" Jin Lingxianxia gritted his teeth and tried his best to resist the suction, trying to stay awake.

"Who am I? Haha, you ants aren't even worthy of knowing my name." The voice from within the stone tower laughed wildly. "But since you want to know, I'll tell you. I am the guardian of this stone tower and the ruler of this world. If you challenge my authority, be prepared to pay the price."

"Master? You're just a poor creature imprisoned here!" Junior Sister Qingyu retorted loudly. She scattered thousands of pine nuts, which transformed into tiny dots of spiritual light in the air, attempting to break free from the stone tower's constraints.

"How dare you!" the voice from within the stone tower roared. "How dare you, ants, be so disrespectful! I'll show you what happens if you challenge me!"

As he spoke, the suction force inside the stone tower increased again. Everyone felt a sharp pain, as if their souls were about to be torn apart by this force.

"Ah!" Junior Sister Dong Meng screamed. The dust-gathering star soil she controlled lost its light in the darkness, as if it had been swallowed by some force.

"Hold on! We can't give up!" Jin Lingxianxia shouted loudly, and the Lingguang Fairy Sword in his hand shone with golden light in the darkness. That was the last belief in his heart.

However, at this critical moment of life and death, a familiar voice suddenly rang in their ears: "Brother Jin Ling, don't be afraid, I'm here to help you!"

Everyone turned around in surprise, only to see a woman in white slowly walking out of the darkness. The woman had a stunningly beautiful face, a determined light gleaming in her eyes, and in her hand she held a long sword that shone with brilliant starlight.

"Qianye Feixing! It's Senior Sister Chunrun!" Lin Feng shouted in surprise. He didn't expect that Senior Sister Chunrun would appear here at this critical moment.

Senior Sister Chunrun smiled faintly. She swung the longsword in her hand, and countless stars burst out from the tip of the sword, instantly illuminating the entire dark space. Those stars seemed to have life, shuttling through the darkness, searching for flaws in the stone tower.

"Sister Chunrun, why are you here?" Jin Lingxianxia asked in surprise. He had never expected that Sister Chunrun could break through the stone tower's blockade and come here to save them.

"I rushed here immediately after receiving your distress signal," Senior Sister Chunrun explained. "I know this stone tower is very powerful, but I couldn't just stand by and watch you fall into danger."

"Sister Chunrun, thank you!" Jin Lingxianxia said gratefully. He tightly grasped the Lingguang Immortal Sword, as if he had found a new source of strength.

"Stop being polite, we have to find a way to leave here quickly." Senior Sister Chunrun said as she waved the sword in her hand, and countless starlight burst out again, trying to break through the constraints of the stone tower.

However, at this moment, the voice from within the stone tower rang out again: "Humph, here comes another one seeking death. Do you think you can defeat me just by outnumbering me? How ridiculous!"

As he spoke, the suction inside the stone tower increased again, and everyone felt an even more violent force pulling them into the darkness.

"No! We have to find a way quickly!" Senior Sister Chunrun's face changed. She gripped the sword tightly, trying to find a breakthrough.

"Sister, I have a solution!" At this moment, Zhu Yao suddenly shouted. She waved the thousand bamboo branches in her hand, and saw countless bamboo shadows flying in the darkness, as if searching for something.

"Zhu Yao, do you have any ideas?" asked the Immortal Jin Ling anxiously.

"I remember my master once told me that this stone pagoda has a fatal weakness, and that is its base." Zhu Yao explained, "If we can destroy the base, then the stone pagoda will collapse."

"The base of the tower? Where is it?" Senior Sister Chunrun asked hurriedly.

"It's right under our feet!" Zhu Yao said, and she waved the bamboo tail in her hand. Countless bamboo shadows instantly gathered into a sharp light and stabbed towards the ground under their feet.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, everyone felt the ground beneath their feet violently shake. They were surprised to find that the foundation of the stone tower had been broken by Zhu Yao's blow!

"Great! We succeeded!" Jin Lingxianxia cheered. He gripped the Lingguang Immortal Sword tightly, feeling the loosening sensation coming from the stone tower.

However, at this moment, a voice from within the stone tower rang out again, filled with anger and resentment: "You ants, you dare to destroy my tower's foundation! I will make you pay the price!"

As he spoke, the suction within the stone tower suddenly disappeared, replaced by a powerful impact. Everyone felt a huge force coming at them, as if it was about to knock them away.

"Be careful!" Senior Sister Chunrun shouted. She waved the sword in her hand, releasing countless starlights, trying to resist the impact.

However, the impact was so strong that everyone felt a black screen before their eyes and then lost consciousness.

When they woke up again, they found themselves in a strange place. It was a vast space with countless stars floating in the sky, as if they were in the universe.

"Where are we?" Jin Ling Xianxia rubbed his head and asked in confusion.

"We escaped." Senior Sister Chunrun explained, "After the stone tower collapsed, we came to this place."

"Great! We finally escaped!" Lin Feng cheered. He tightly grasped the primitive ancient wooden staff, feeling the vitality and energy in the air around him.

"However, we still have to be careful," Senior Sister Chunrun warned, "The guardian of the stone tower will definitely not give up."

"Senior Sister is right. We can't let our guard down." Jin Lingxianxia nodded in agreement. He looked around, trying to find any possible danger.

At this moment, a mysterious man in a black robe suddenly walked out of the darkness. He had a sinister face, a vicious glint in his eyes, and in his hand was a staff that shone with a strange light.

"Are you the ants who destroyed my stone tower?" the mysterious man asked coldly, his voice filled with majesty and unquestionable authority.

"Who are you?" Jin Lingxian asked cautiously. He gripped the Lingguang Immortal Sword tightly, ready to deal with any possible attack.

"I am the guardian of the stone tower and the true ruler of this world." The mysterious man laughed wildly, "How dare you destroy my stone tower? I will make you pay the price!"

As he spoke, the mysterious man waved the staff in his hand, and a black light burst out from the staff and attacked everyone.

"Be careful!" Senior Sister Chunrun shouted. She waved the sword in her hand, releasing countless starlights, trying to resist the black light.

However, the black light was so powerful that the starlight was completely devoured the moment it touched it. Everyone felt a strong sense of danger, as if death was imminent.

"What should I do?" Lin Feng asked anxiously. He tightly grasped the primitive ancient wooden staff, but could not find a way to deal with it.

"Don't panic!" Jin Lingxianxia shouted. He tightly grasped the Lingguang Immortal Sword and rushed towards the black light. The sword light and the black light collided in the air, bursting into dazzling sparks.

"Brother Jin Ling!" Senior Sister Chun Run exclaimed. She hadn't expected that the Immortal Knight Jin Ling would be so brave to face that powerful black light.

However, the strength of the Golden Spirit Immortal Knight was limited after all, and he was soon forced to retreat by the black light.

"Brother Jin Ling, let me help you!" At this moment, Fairy Shuirou suddenly shouted. She waved the silk jade belt in her hand, and a soft ribbon fluttered in the air, rolling towards the black light.

The ribbon and the black light tangled in mid-air, like two giant dragons fighting. Fairy Shuirou gritted her teeth, trying her best to restrain the black light.

However, at this moment, the mysterious man suddenly sneered: "Humph, a mere ant dares to challenge me? How ridiculous!"

As he spoke, he waved the staff in his hand, and the black light suddenly burst out with even more powerful force, tearing the ribbon apart in an instant.

"Ah!" Fairy Shuirou screamed. She felt a sharp pain and was blown away by the force.

"Shui Rou!" Jin Ling Xianxia shouted. He wanted to rush over to save Fairy Shui Rou, but was blocked by the black light.

"Hmph, you all must die!" The mysterious man laughed wildly, waving the staff in his hand, preparing to launch the final attack.

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Stop!"

Everyone looked up in surprise, only to see an old man in a green robe slowly descending from the sky. The old man had a kind face, his eyes sparkled with wisdom, and in his hand he held a long sword that shone with green light.

"Master!" Jin Lingxianxia shouted in surprise. He had not expected that his master would appear here at this critical moment.

"Master, you're finally here!" Senior Sister Chunrun also shouted excitedly. She gripped her sword tightly, as if she had found a new support.

"Master, this mysterious man is too powerful. We are no match for him." Lin Feng said anxiously. He tightly grasped the primitive ancient wooden staff, his eyes full of anticipation.

The old man in green robes smiled slightly. His eyes were like torches as he scanned the surroundings. Then he said slowly, "Don't be afraid, children. I'm here."

As he spoke, he swung the longsword in his hand. A streak of cyan sword light streaked through the air, instantly colliding with the black light. The sword light and the black light intertwined and entangled in the air, erupting with a deafening roar.

"Who are you? How dare you ruin my plans?" the mysterious man shouted. He had never imagined that someone could withstand his attack.

"I am their master and one of the guardians of this world," the old man in green robes said calmly, "You have acted recklessly and cruelly harmed lives. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"

"Carrying out justice for the heavens? Haha, that's ridiculous!" The mysterious man laughed wildly, "Do you think you can defeat me with your own strength?"

"Whether I can defeat you or not, we'll only know after we try!" The old man in green said, and the long sword in his hand suddenly burst out with dazzling light, as if resonating with the heaven and earth, gathering infinite power.

Seeing this, the mysterious man's face changed slightly, but he quickly calmed down, waved the staff in his hand, and prepared to meet the attack of the old man in green.

A thrilling battle was about to unfold. Sword lights and black light intertwined and collided in the air, erupting in bursts of roaring sound. Everyone watched the battle closely, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.

At this moment, an unexpected change occurred. The staff in the mysterious man's hand suddenly burst into a strong light, and then his body began to gradually become transparent.

"Oh no, he's trying to escape!" the old man in green shouted, gripping his sword tightly as he quickly rushed towards the mysterious man.

However, the mysterious man was so fast that he disappeared into the air in the blink of an eye, leaving only a faint black light flickering in the air.

"Damn it! He got away!" the old man in green clothes shouted angrily. He looked around, trying to find any trace of the mysterious man, but found nothing.

"Master, what should we do now?" Jin Lingxian asked anxiously. He had not expected that the mysterious man would be so cunning as to choose to escape at this time.

"Don't worry, he can't escape." The old man in green robes said calmly, "I have left a mark on him. No matter where he escapes to, I will find him."

As he spoke, he swung the sword in his hand, and a green light burst out from the tip of the sword and flew quickly into the distance.

"Let's follow!" the old man in green said, and he took the lead in chasing after the green light. Seeing this, everyone else hurriedly followed.

They sped along, passing through countless mountains and rivers, and finally arrived at a mysterious and ancient ruin. They saw the cyan light stop at the center of the ruins, flickering with a faint light.

"Master, is the mysterious man here?" Senior Sister Chunrun asked doubtfully. She looked around and saw that the ruins were filled with a sense of vicissitudes and antiquity, as if hiding countless secrets.

"Yes, he is here." The old man in green said, he gripped the sword tightly and walked slowly towards the center of the ruins.

Everyone followed closely behind, only to find a massive altar in the center of the ruins. On the altar sat a gemstone that shone with an eerie light. It was from this gemstone that the familiar, sinister aura emanated.

"Is this gem the source of the mysterious man's power?" Jin Ling Xianxia asked in surprise. He stared at the gem, his eyes flashing with vigilance.

"Indeed, this gem contains endless evil power. It is with it that the mysterious man has become so powerful." The old man in green robes explained, "We must destroy it to completely eliminate the threat posed by the mysterious man."

As he spoke, he swung the sword in his hand, ready to attack. However, at this moment, a cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears:

"Humph, you think you can defeat me like this? That's ridiculous!"

Everyone looked up in surprise, only to see a mysterious man slowly walking out of the void with a smug smile on his face, as if everything was under his control.

"You...you're not dead yet?" the old man in green robes said in surprise. He hadn't expected that the mysterious man could dodge his fatal blow.

"Of course I'm not dead." The mysterious man laughed wildly, "You bunch of ants, you still want to defeat me? What a pipe dream!"

As he spoke, he waved the staff in his hand, ready to launch the final attack. However, at this moment, a familiar and firm voice suddenly sounded in their ears:

"Wait a minute!"

Everyone turned around in surprise, only to see a woman in white slowly emerging from the depths of the ruins. The woman had a stunningly beautiful face, a resolute light gleaming in her eyes, and in her hand, she held a longsword that shone with brilliant starlight.

"It's her? She's not dead yet?" The mysterious man said in surprise. He hadn't expected such an unexpected change to occur at this critical moment.

"That's right, I'm not dead yet." The woman in white said calmly, "Besides, I won't let you continue to cause trouble to the world."

As she spoke, she swung the sword in her hand, and a dazzling light burst out instantly, and she started a thrilling battle with the mysterious man.

Sword light and black light intertwined and collided in the air, erupting in a deafening roar. Everyone stared at the battle, their hearts filled with tension and anticipation.

However, at this moment, an even more unexpected incident occurred. A strong light suddenly erupted from the center of the ruins, and then, the gemstone that was shimmering with an eerie light began to gradually crack...
