Chapter 172 The Storm

On the ruins of the altar, Ling Yun and the Black Dragon Cult Leader were fighting fiercely. Dark clouds rolled in the sky, thunder and darkness intertwined, and the entire ruins seemed to have become a battlefield between two powerful forces. Qin Feng and his companions focused on dealing with the remaining priests and remnants of the dark sect. Despite the huge pressure, they remained steadfast.

"Be careful, those guys' attacks are getting more fierce!" Chu Tian warned while waving the Storm Wolf. His figure shuttled through the storm, quickly dodging the flying hidden weapons.

Ye Li stood beside Chu Tian, ​​waving her hands constantly. The power of the Frost Fox turned into ice shields under her control, blocking the hidden weapons. "It's okay, we can handle it!" Her voice was cold, but there was a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

Zhang Meng roared, and the power of the giant rock bear suddenly burst out, and the huge fist smashed directly into the chest of a dark priest. "Go to hell! Let you taste the taste of rock!" He laughed and watched the priest being blown away, falling to the ground, and instantly losing his fighting ability.

"Good!" Wang Yue stood in the back, the light of the Bright Deer illuminating the battlefield. Her healing ability was particularly important in this chaos. "Keep the formation and don't let them separate us!"

However, just when they thought they had the situation under control, a strange laugh suddenly came from the darkness. The voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell, and it was creepy.

"Hehehe... Do you think you can win like this?" Along with the voice, a tall man in a black robe slowly walked out of the shadows, his face hidden under the hood, revealing only a pair of malicious eyes.

"Who is this guy?" Chu Tian frowned. He had never seen this man in black robe, but he sensed an extremely dangerous aura.

Ling Yun also noticed the man at this time and frowned slightly, "It's you...it turns out you have been secretly controlling all this."

“Hehehe… Lingyun, we finally meet again.” The black-robed man spoke in a low voice, his tone full of cold sarcasm, “It seems that your disciples have not yet realized the real danger.”

Ling Yun's expression became more serious. "They are not someone you can deal with easily. Your plan will not succeed."

"Oh? Really?" The black-robed man's voice contained a cruel smile, "Then let's see how long your confidence can last."

As soon as he finished speaking, black beams of light suddenly rose up from all around, directly surrounding Qin Feng and the others. The beams of light were filled with extremely strong dark power, as if they were going to swallow up everything.

"What the hell is this?" Zhang Meng roared. He swung his fist to try to break the light column, but found that no matter how he attacked, the dark light column did not move at all.

Qin Feng tightly grasped the Dragon Shadow Sword, and alarm bells rang in his heart. "This is a confinement technique. They want to trap us."

"We can't be trapped, otherwise Master Ling Yun won't be able to deal with the Black Dragon Sect Leader and this black-robed man alone!" Ye Li analyzed calmly. Under her guidance, the Frost Fox continued to shoot ice arrows, trying to find the weakness of the light column.

Chu Tian also realized the danger of the situation at this time, "We must break through this blockade as soon as possible!"

"Why don't I give it a try?" Wang Yue suddenly spoke, her eyes determined, and the energy of the Bright Deer began to gather in her hands.

"What are you going to do?" Qin Feng asked, feeling a little worried.

"I will try to break through the darkness with the power of light." Wang Yue said softly, clasping her hands together. The light of the Light Deer became brighter and brighter, and her body began to shine with a golden light.

As she moved, the power of the Light Deer turned into a golden beam of light and shot directly towards the dark light column.

Under the irradiation of the golden light, the light column made a harsh buzzing sound, and cracks appeared on the surface. Seeing this scene, Qin Feng and others were excited, "It works!"

Wang Yue gritted her teeth and continued to increase the energy output. The light beam gradually became more dazzling, and the cracks on the dark light column also expanded, until with a "bang", the light column finally collapsed.

"Great!" Chu Tian cheered and immediately rushed to the other side covered by the light column.

However, the black-robed man just sneered, "Humph, idiot, do you think you can break my barrier with just this little power?"

With a wave of his hand, more dark light pillars rose from the ground. This time, their power was even stronger, as if they were going to completely block the entire area.

Qin Feng felt the oppressive feeling in the air, and he realized that their current situation had become more dangerous. "We can't go on like this, we must find the weakness of the man in black robe!"

"He is controlling these light pillars. If we can defeat him, the light pillars will disappear!" Ling Yun's voice suddenly came, and he was obviously also looking for a way to crack it.

Qin Feng nodded and quickly gave orders, "Chu Tian, ​​Zhang Meng, attract the attention of those priests. Ye Li, you are responsible for support. Wang Yue and I will deal with the man in black robe."

Without hesitation, they dispersed immediately and headed towards their target.

Chu Tian turned into a wind shadow, quickly shuttling between the dark light pillars, deftly dodging the enemy's attacks and continuously sending out wind blades, forcing the priests to be distracted to deal with them. Zhang Meng used his great strength and defense to withstand most of the attacks, buying precious time for others.

Ye Li continued to provide support from the rear. The icy power of the Frost Fox slowed down the enemy's movements, effectively reducing the pressure on Chu Tian and Zhang Meng.

Qin Feng and Wang Yue went straight to the man in black robe. Wang Yue's Light Deer released a dazzling light, and under her guidance, the golden beam shot directly at the man in black robe.

"Hmph, stupid power of light." The man in black robe snorted coldly, and a black light shield appeared in his hand, easily blocking Wang Yue's attack.

Qin Feng did not hesitate. He took the opportunity to attack from the side. The Dragon Shadow Sword turned into a sharp sword light and went straight to the side of the black-robed man.

However, the man in black robe seemed to have anticipated Qin Feng's move. He dodged the attack easily and slapped Qin Feng with his backhand.

Qin Feng immediately raised his sword to block, but was still knocked back a few steps by the huge force. He felt an irresistible chill rising from his body, as if even his soul was shaken by the palm.

"He is indeed not easy to deal with!" Qin Feng was secretly shocked, but he quickly stabilized his body and launched another attack.

Wang Yue did not relax either, and continued to use the power of the Light Deer to try to find the weakness of the man in black robe.

As the two sides were fighting fiercely, the battle between Ling Yun and the Black Dragon Cult Leader also entered a white-hot stage. Ling Yun's Thunder Dragon released the earth-shaking thunder force, and the darkness seemed to be torn apart in the flash of lightning, but the Black Dragon Cult Leader showed amazing defense and attack power, and his dark power surged like a tide, seemingly endless.

"Do you think you can stop me with your own strength?" The Black Dragon Cult Leader said with a sinister smile, and as he waved his hands, countless black light blades shot out and headed straight for Ling Yun.

Ling Yun did not answer, but his eyes were as sharp as torches. He clasped his hands together, and the power of the Thunder Dragon suddenly condensed into a huge thunder ball, heading directly towards the light blades.

"Boom!" The violent explosion was deafening. Lightning and dark forces intertwined and collided in the air, and the entire sky was dyed gray and black.

Qin Feng felt the vibration coming. He turned back to look at the battle between Ling Yun and the Black Dragon Master, and his heart tightened. "We must end the battle here as soon as possible, otherwise Master Ling Yun will not be able to hold on!"

Wang Yue nodded, "I'll try again!"

She closed her eyes and concentrated all her soul power on the Light Deer. The light gradually became more dazzling, even to the point where it was impossible to look directly at it.

"Go!" Wang Yue shouted softly, and the power of the Light Deer turned into a huge beam of light, shooting straight at the man in black robe.

This time, the black-robed man’s light shield was unable to completely block this force. His figure was knocked back several steps, and a low groan came from under the black robe.

"Success!" Qin Feng's eyes lit up. He seized the opportunity and rushed towards the man in black robe with all his strength. The Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand burst out with unprecedented sword light.

"Go to hell!" Qin Feng roared, pouring all his strength into this sword.

The man in black robe obviously did not expect Qin Feng to counterattack so swiftly. He wanted to dodge, but Wang Yue's beam of light slowed down his movements, and he was ultimately unable to avoid it completely.

"Puff!" The Dragon Shadow Sword pierced through the black-robed man's shoulder, and blood splattered out.

"Ah!" The black-robed man let out a shrill scream and quickly retreated. He covered his injured shoulder with a fierce look in his eyes. "You guys, actually... actually..."

However, Qin Feng did not give him a chance to breathe and launched another fierce attack.

"Chu Tian, ​​Zhang Meng, come and support us!" Qin Feng gave an order, and Chu Tian and Zhang Meng quickly rushed over here.

"We are coming!" Chu Tian's Storm Wolf and Zhang Meng's Giant Rock Bear launched their strongest attacks almost at the same time, with wind blades and giant fists bombarding the man in black robes together.

The man in black robe was pale. He had lost the best opportunity to counterattack and could only dodge these deadly attacks in a panic.

Seeing that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable to him, the man in black robe suddenly whistled sharply. Then, the dark light pillars around him suddenly disappeared, replaced by a strong suction force that gathered everything around him.

"He's absorbing the power of darkness!" Ye Li exclaimed, and the Frost Fox also showed a vigilant attitude.

"We can't let him succeed!" Ling Yun's voice came from a distance. He used all his strength to unleash the power of the Thunder Dragon. A bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the man in black robe.

Qin Feng and others launched an attack at the same time. The Dragon Shadow Sword, Wind Blade, Frost Arrow and Giant Power Fist intertwined in the air, turning into a destructive attack wave, heading straight for the black-robed man's body.

The black-robed man let out a sharp roar, and his figure was engulfed by lightning and light. The strong shock wave shook the entire ruins.

When the light gradually faded, the man in black had disappeared from the spot, leaving only gravel and rubble on the ground.

"It's finally over..." Qin Feng breathed a long sigh of relief. He tightly grasped the Dragon Shadow Sword, but his legs trembled slightly due to fatigue.

Ling Yun landed from the sky. He glanced at the battlefield and confirmed that the man in black robe had indeed been defeated. Then he said softly, "You did a great job."

Wang Yue walked up to Qin Feng and said with a smile, "We finally succeeded. This time, the conspiracy of the Dark Cult should be completely crushed."

Qin Feng nodded, but he felt a faint sense of uneasiness in his heart. Although the man in black robe had been defeated, he always felt that this was far from over.

"Teacher, what should we do next?" Ye Li asked softly.

Ling Yun looked at them deeply and said in a deep voice, "Although the Dark Cult has been repelled temporarily, we cannot let our guard down. There are still many unsolved mysteries and greater dangers waiting for us ahead."

Qin Feng took a deep breath, clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand, and looked into the distance with a firm gaze. No matter how difficult the road ahead was, he was ready.

They will not stop. The storm ahead may be even more severe, but they will move forward.
