Chapter 1028 Light Rain

The sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a strong and evil atmosphere spread. Before everyone could react, a group of mysterious ninjas suddenly appeared. They were dressed in black and had strange masks on their faces. As soon as these ninjas appeared, they began to attack the people present, and the exchange meeting fell into chaos in an instant. Bai and Hiruzen quickly stood up to organize resistance. Bai used his control of natural energy to condense an ice wall to protect everyone, and Hiruzen used powerful ninjutsu to fight against the enemy. During the battle, Bai found that the evil spells used by these mysterious ninjas were very similar to the previous ninja, but even more powerful. It turned out that the previous ninja was just a bait. The real mastermind learned that the town was holding a natural energy exchange meeting and wanted to catch everyone in one fell swoop when everyone gathered and seize their natural energy. Bai and Hiruzen knew that this time was full of crises, but they did not retreat. They fought side by side with everyone. In the fierce battle, they gradually found out the enemy's weaknesses and finally successfully repelled the mysterious ninjas. The town returned to peace again. And this experience also gave everyone a deeper understanding of the protection of natural energy. However, the peace did not last long. One night, Shiro heard a dark whisper in his dream. The voice seemed to come from the depths of darkness, and kept talking about natural energy. He woke up suddenly, and cold sweat soaked his back. At the same time, Hiruzen also sensed that a faint evil aura was quietly approaching the town.

The next day, everyone found that the natural energy around the town began to be inexplicably disordered, the flowers and plants withered, and the streams dried up. Bai and Hiruzen realized that this was a sign that the mastermind had returned, and this time the opponent's methods were more hidden and powerful. They gathered everyone to re-formulate a response strategy and prepare for new challenges. Just as everyone was ready, the mysterious ninja appeared again, but this time they were followed by a tall and terrifying mysterious man. This man was the real mastermind. He sneered and released a more powerful evil spell. A more intense battle was about to begin. The powerful evil spell swept in like a surging black wave. Wherever it went, the ground cracked and the trees broke. Bai gritted his teeth and quickly formed seals with his hands, forcibly condensing the chaotic natural energy around him, turning it into ice blades and shooting at the enemy. Hiruzen was not to be outdone, and used the shadow clone technique to attack the mysterious man from all directions. Seeing this, the mysterious ninjas surrounded him and stopped him. The battle was deadlocked, with both sides suffering heavy casualties. Just as Bai was about to launch a stronger attack, the mysterious man suddenly disappeared from his original position, and the next second he appeared behind Bai, raising his hand to attack. At the critical moment, Hiruzen tried his best to push Bai away, but he was hit by the evil spell. Bai was extremely angry, and the natural energy in his body surged wildly. He burst out with unprecedented power, and the ice wall expanded instantly, trapping the mysterious man and his men in it. The mysterious man did not expect Bai to change like this, and was a little flustered. Bai took the opportunity to condense a huge ice cone and stabbed the mysterious man fiercely. The mysterious man was hit and the evil spell dissipated. The town finally returned to peace again, and Bai and everyone also understood that the road to protecting natural energy is still a long way to go. However, just when everyone thought the crisis was completely resolved, the mysterious man was hit by the ice cone, but he did not die. His body suddenly burst out with a more evil power, shattering the ice wall. It turned out that he had been holding back before, and this was his true strength. The mysterious man laughed wildly and released the evil spell again, this time with power several times stronger than before. Everyone was in a desperate situation again. Although Bai and Hiruzen fought hard, they gradually became powerless. Just when the mysterious man was about to give the final blow, a mysterious old man who had been hiding deep in the town appeared. The old man held a staff and muttered something. A pure and powerful natural energy emanated from him, fighting against the mysterious man's evil spell. The mysterious man did not expect such a master to appear, and his face became very ugly. With the help of the old man, Bai and Hiruzen regained their spirits, and the three of them attacked the mysterious man together. In the end, the mysterious man was completely defeated and turned into a cloud of black smoke and disappeared. The town regained its former vitality, and the mysterious old man also left quietly, leaving Bai and everyone with a firm belief in protecting natural energy in the future. Just when everyone thought everything was over, the black smoke did not completely dissipate, but condensed in secret. A few months later, some strange phenomena appeared around the town again, and the natural energy was slightly disordered again. Bai and Hiruzen became alert, and they began to investigate secretly. By chance, they discovered some mysterious symbols appearing in the ancient ruins of the town. These symbols exuded a faint but evil aura. After some research, they realized that this might be the remaining power of the mysterious man, who seemed to be trying to be reborn with the help of the power of the ancient ruins. Bai and Hiruzen decided to act again. They summoned the masters of the town and went to the ancient ruins together. When they arrived, they found that the mysterious man was in a semi-reborn state, surrounded by powerful evil spells. A new battle started again. Bai, Hiruzen and the others relied on their previous combat experience and their firm belief in protecting natural energy. They went all out to fight against the mysterious man who was about to be reborn, vowing to completely destroy him and restore peace to the town. The mysterious man's evil spells continued to erode everyone's power, and many masters began to lose their physical strength. Just when the situation was critical, Bai suddenly found that the arrangement of the mysterious symbols seemed to have a pattern, which might be able to break the evil spell. He approached the symbol while resisting the attack. Hiruzen saw what Bai was up to and shouted, "Everyone, cover Bai!" Upon hearing this, everyone used up their last bit of strength to temporarily block the attack of the mysterious man and his men. Bai finally came to the symbol and concentrated his mind to perceive the secret. Suddenly, he formed seals with both hands, and with the help of the power of the symbol, he cast a purifying light in the opposite direction. The purifying light and the evil spell collided violently, making a deafening sound. The mysterious man's body began to tremble under the illumination of the purifying light, and his semi-reborn state gradually disintegrated. Finally, the mysterious man screamed and completely dissipated. The ancient ruins returned to peace, and the natural energy was no longer disordered. Bai, Hiruzen and everyone smiled at each other. They knew that the town was really safe this time, and they would continue to uphold the mission of protecting natural energy.

However, just as everyone was about to return to the town, a low roar suddenly came from the depths of the ancient ruins. The ground began to shake violently, and a huge black crack slowly split open, from which emerged a breath that was stronger and more evil than the mysterious man before. A huge, hideous monster slowly crawled out of the crack, and its every step made the earth tremble. Everyone looked at this scene in amazement. They didn't expect that just after solving a crisis, a stronger enemy appeared. Bai and Hiruzen quickly calmed down and organized everyone to fight again. The monster opened its bloody mouth and spewed out a black flame, turning everything into a scorched earth. Bai condensed natural energy to form a solid shield to resist, and Hiruzen led everyone to attack from the side. The battle was extremely fierce. Although everyone fought hard, the monster's power was too strong and they gradually fell into trouble. At this time, the mysterious old man appeared again. He told everyone that this monster was a more powerful evil force behind the mysterious man. Only by working together and relying on the natural energy core of the town can it be defeated. So, under the guidance of the old man, everyone started a more difficult battle...
