Chapter 195: Shocking Conspiracy, Black Dragon Appears

After a long journey of hardships, Qin Feng and his party finally arrived at the core location of the Black Dragon Cult's ritual. However, when they stepped into the forbidden area, they found that things were far more complicated than they had imagined, and the Black Dragon Cult's real plan gradually surfaced.

"The center of the ceremony is in front." Ling Xiao pointed to an area in front of him that was faintly glowing red, his tone solemn.

"This place doesn't look good." Chu Tian frowned, staring at the red light, "Brother Feng, do you think we will be roasted like a duck as soon as we enter?"

"Stop talking nonsense, Chu Tian." Qin Feng clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword in his hand, his eyes sharp, "We must stop the Black Dragon Cult Leader and not give him any chance."

Ye Li nodded and gently waved the Frost Fox in her hand. The cold air gathered around her: "No matter what lies ahead, we cannot retreat."

Zhang Meng patted his chest and said bravely: "I am ready for a big fight! Even if a dragon comes this time, I will beat it down!"

"I'm afraid it's not just any dragon." Ling Xiao lowered his voice, "The Black Dragon Cult Leader's plan is to summon the Black Dragon Soul, an ancient and powerful being. Once he successfully summons it, we will face an unprecedented crisis."

"Black Dragon Soul?" Qin Feng frowned, "What is that?"

"It is a legendary ancient spirit beast that possesses the power to destroy the heavens and the earth." Ling Xiao explained, "The Black Dragon Cult Leader intends to take its power for himself through this ceremony. If he succeeds, the entire world of soul masters will be under his control."

Chu Tian was shocked: "This is too crazy! Isn't he afraid that he will be swallowed by the black dragon?"

"He has obviously been blinded by his ambition." Ling Xiao said in a deep voice, "So we must stop him before the ritual is completed, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Qin Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Let's act immediately and break his conspiracy!"

Qin Feng and his group approached the red light. Suddenly, the air around them became extremely heavy and the ground began to shake. Then, black energy surged out from the ground, forming a huge barrier that surrounded them.

"Damn it, this is a trap!" Zhang Meng punched the barrier, but the barrier did not move at all.

"Don't move!" Ling Xiao shouted hurriedly, "This barrier is the Black Dragon Cult Leader's defensive method, specially used to trap people like us."

"What should we do?" Ye Li asked calmly, "We can't be trapped here and wait to die, right?"

"Let me try." Qin Feng swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, the blade emitted a dazzling blue light, and suddenly slashed towards the barrier. However, the sword light was bounced back the moment it hit the barrier, almost making Qin Feng lose his balance.

"This barrier is really tricky." Qin Feng frowned and said, "It seems that brute force cannot be used to destroy it."

"That's right, this barrier needs to be broken from the inside." Ling Xiao explained, "Only by finding the core of the barrier and destroying it can it be completely removed."

"What are you waiting for? Find it quickly!" Chu Tian said anxiously.

"The core is usually hidden in a place that is not easy to detect." Ling Xiao pondered for a moment, "Everyone should search separately. It may be hidden underground or in the wall."

Everyone acted quickly, searching everywhere for the core of the barrier. However, as time passed, the barrier remained intact.

"Where is this thing hidden?" Zhang Meng said indignantly while digging the ground.

"Brother Feng, I didn't find it here either." Chu Tian's voice was filled with anxiety.

"Don't give up, keep looking." Qin Feng commanded calmly, "It must be somewhere we haven't noticed yet."

Just when everyone was almost in despair, Ye Li suddenly noticed a faint light flickering at the top of the barrier.

"What is that?" Ye Li asked, pointing to the top.

Ling Xiao looked up and his eyes lit up immediately: "Found it! That's the core of the barrier!"

"On the top? How can we reach it then?" Chu Tian looked at the light high above helplessly.

"Don't worry, I have a way." Qin Feng raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and then used his spiritual power, his feet made the wind come, and he jumped up quickly, pointing the Dragon Shadow Sword directly at the light.

Just as he was about to touch the light, a powerful shock wave erupted from within the barrier, almost knocking Qin Feng down.

"Brother Feng!" Chu Tian shouted, rushed over quickly, and caught Qin Feng steadily.

"This barrier is not simple." Qin Feng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, "It seems to have a self-defense mechanism."

"What should we do? Brother Feng, we can't drag this on." Zhang Meng said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I have an idea." Ye Li suddenly said. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then used the Frost Fox in her hand to release a large amount of cold air, quickly freezing the surroundings of the barrier.

"What are you going to do..." Qin Feng looked at Ye Li in confusion.

"Although the barrier is strong, it is still a kind of energy." Ye Li explained, "I can use cold air to weaken its energy, so that you can take the opportunity to destroy the core."

"Good idea!" Ling Xiao nodded approvingly.

As Ye Li's coldness continued to be released, the light of the barrier gradually dimmed. Qin Feng seized the opportunity and jumped up again. This time he used all his strength to activate the Dragon Shadow Sword. The sword light turned into a blue lightning and pierced the core of the barrier.

With a loud bang, the barrier was broken, the black energy quickly dissipated, and the surrounding space finally returned to calm.

"Success!" Zhang Meng waved his fist excitedly.

"Great, Ye Li, you are so smart!" Chu Tian couldn't help but admire.

After Qin Feng landed, he looked at Ye Li and smiled slightly: "You did a great job."

Ye Li smiled and said, "It's not time for us to be happy yet. There are greater challenges ahead."

After breaking the barrier, Qin Feng and his party continued to move forward and finally arrived at the core of the ceremony. Here was a huge altar with a black bead floating in the center, emitting a strong evil aura.

"That is the container of the Black Dragon Soul." Ling Xiao said nervously, "As long as the bead is destroyed, the Black Dragon Cult Leader's plan will fail."

"Then let's get started!" Chu Tian said impatiently.

However, just as they were about to act, a cold voice suddenly came from all directions: "You stupid little guys, you actually want to ruin my plan?"

As the voice echoed, a figure slowly emerged from the shadow of the altar. It was a tall man in a black robe, with a ferocious smile on his face and an evil light flashing in his eyes.

"Black Dragon Leader!" Qin Feng stared at the person who came coldly.

"Yes, it's me." The Black Dragon leader sneered, "You think you can easily ruin my plan? How naive."

"Do you think you can stop us?" Zhang Meng roared and rushed forward with his fists swinging.

"Stupid!" The Black Dragon Leader snorted coldly and waved his hand. A powerful black energy directly knocked Zhang Meng back and threw him heavily to the ground.

"Zhang Meng!" Ye Li hurried forward to check Zhang Meng's injuries.

"I... I'm fine..." Zhang Meng gritted his teeth and stood up, but he was obviously seriously injured.

"You are no match for me." The Black Dragon Cult Leader said calmly, "But since you are seeking death, I will grant your wish."

Qin Feng's eyes were stern, and he clenched the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly: "Don't underestimate us!"

"Brother Feng, this guy is not easy to deal with." Chu Tian reminded in a low voice.

"I know." Qin Feng nodded, "But we must win."

The Black Dragon Leader smiled grimly and waved his hand. The black energy quickly condensed into a huge black dragon shadow, which pounced towards Qin Feng and his group.

"Everyone be careful!" Qin Feng shouted and led everyone to launch a counterattack.

As the black dragon shadow of the Black Dragon Cult Leader pounced, the battle between Qin Feng and his companions broke out instantly. The blue light of the Dragon Shadow Sword and the black energy of the black dragon shadow collided violently in the air, making a deafening roar.

"Brother Feng, let me help you!" Zhang Meng endured the pain and punched forward.

"Ye Li, Chu Tian, ​​let's go together!" Qin Feng commanded.

"Understood!" Ye Li and Chu Tian responded at the same time.

However, the strength of the Black Dragon Cult Leader was far beyond their imagination. Although they tried their best, they still found it extremely difficult to face this powerful evil force.

"Hahaha, you little bugs, there's no way you can defeat me!" The Black Dragon Leader laughed wildly, and the black dragon's shadow became more and more violent under his control.

"We will never give up!" Qin Feng gritted his teeth and persisted, the light of the Dragon Shadow Sword becoming more and more intense.

Just when they were about to collapse, Ling Xiao suddenly rushed over, formed seals with his hands, and silently chanted a spell: "With my spirit, I will seal your soul!"

Following Ling Xiao's spell, the black beads on the altar suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and the black dragon's phantom suddenly let out a painful roar and began to become blurred.

"Ling Xiao, what are you doing?" The Black Dragon Cult Leader looked at him in shock, "How dare you betray me?"

Ling Xiao sneered: "Betrayal? I just chose to stand on the right side."

"You... are looking for death!" The Black Dragon Leader roared, and frantically controlled the black dragon's phantom to pounce on Ling Xiao.

"Qin Feng, now!" Ling Xiao shouted.

Qin Feng understood instantly, leaped up suddenly, swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and slashed at the black bead with all his strength.

"Go to hell!" the Black Dragon leader shouted in despair.

With a loud bang, the sword light of the Dragon Shadow Sword completely penetrated the black bead. The bead cracked with a sound, and the black dragon phantom let out a final wail before completely dissipating into the air.

As the black bead broke, the evil power on the altar quickly collapsed, and the figure of the Black Dragon Cult Leader gradually weakened. He looked at Qin Feng in disbelief, his face full of despair and anger: "No... Impossible... How could my power... "

"Your doom has come." Qin Feng said coldly, and the Dragon Shadow Sword flashed cold light again.

"Did we... win?" Zhang Meng asked, panting.

"Yes, we won." Ye Li nodded gently.

The Black Dragon leader finally fell down unwillingly, and his plan was completely shattered. Qin Feng and his companions finally won the battle.

Ling Xiao looked at the gradually shattering black beads and let out a long breath: "It's all over."

Qin Feng turned to look at Ling Xiao and asked in a deep voice: "What are you going to do next?"

Ling Xiao smiled slightly: "Perhaps, I should find a place to live in seclusion and live a peaceful life."

"It's the best choice for you to take the right path." Qin Feng nodded and said, "We hope to never see you on the battlefield again."

Ling Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I don't want to get involved in these disputes anymore."

The battle finally ended, the Black Dragon Leader's conspiracy was completely shattered, and Qin Feng and his party slowly set out on the road back to the academy with the joy of victory.
