Chapter 28 An unexpected attack

After successfully destroying the Dark Source Crystal, Qin Feng and his companions immediately set out to return to the Soul Master Academy. However, they all knew that despite the victory of this operation, the Dark Sect would not give up easily. On the way back, Qin Feng always had an indelible sense of oppression in his heart, as if some huge danger was approaching.

"We have to go back as soon as possible and report the situation here to the vice president." Ye Li suggested, with a hint of nervousness in her eyes.

"That's right. The Dark Cult's action this time is probably just the beginning. We must be better prepared." Qin Feng responded. He tightly gripped the Dragon Shadow Sword and glanced around vigilantly.

When they passed through a deep forest, a strange atmosphere suddenly filled the air, as if countless pairs of eyes were staring at them in the dark. Zhang Meng's giant rock bear growled, looking extremely uneasy.

"Everyone be careful, something's happening!" Chu Tian reminded in a low voice. His Storm Wolf had already assumed an attacking posture, ready to fight at any time.

At this moment, a group of assassins in black robes suddenly jumped out from the surrounding bushes. They moved very quickly and surrounded Qin Feng and his group in an instant. The leading assassin sneered, and his cold voice echoed in the night sky: "You little devils are really capable. You can actually destroy the Dark Source Crystal. Unfortunately, you can't escape from our grasp."

Qin Feng immediately drew out the Dragon Shadow Sword, and the lightning flashed on the blade, emitting a frightening pressure. "You dark sects are really haunting us. Since you have come to our door, be prepared to pay the price!"

The battle broke out instantly. The black-robed assassins showed extremely high combat effectiveness. Their martial spirits were all dark creatures with strong corrosiveness, and each attack was extremely destructive. Qin Feng and his companions were forced into a bitter battle. They not only had to deal with the fierce offensive of the assassins, but also had to guard against those hidden enemies who might launch sneak attacks at any time.

Qin Feng swung the Dragon Shadow Sword, and the sword light tore through the air like thunder, repelling several assassins. Ye Li's Frost Fox released a powerful cold air, temporarily suppressing the enemy's offensive. Chu Tian used the speed and flexibility of the Storm Wolf to constantly shuttle through the enemy formation and disrupt their attack rhythm.

However, the number and strength of the enemy far exceeded expectations, and the battle fell into a stalemate. Every time Qin Feng and his men repelled a wave of enemies, more black-robed assassins would immediately rush forward, as if they were endless.

"We can't keep dragging this on, we must find a way to break out!" Zhang Meng shouted loudly. His Giant Rock Bear had been wounded several times, but was still fighting hard.

Qin Feng knew that they couldn't continue to waste their energy like this, so he decided to go all out and concentrate all his efforts to launch a strong attack to open a breakthrough. "Everyone, follow me!" He gave an order, and the Dragon Shadow Sword drew a bright sword light in the air, directly hitting the most densely populated area of ​​the enemy.

Under Qin Feng's powerful attack, the enemy formation was in a state of temporary chaos. Taking this opportunity, Ye Li and Chu Tian also released their strongest soul skills to temporarily curb the enemy's attack. Zhang Meng used the powerful defense of the giant rock bear to protect everyone's rear and bought precious time for everyone.

"Charge!" Qin Feng shouted, leading everyone to break out quickly. Their goal was to leave the dense forest and get rid of the pursuit of the dark sect.

Although they succeeded in breaking through, the assassins obviously would not give up easily and pursued them relentlessly. Qin Feng and his companions ran while trying to get rid of the enemy. They knew that if they were caught up, the consequences would be disastrous.

However, the enemy's speed was obviously much faster than they expected, especially the leading assassin, whose figure shuttled through the night like a ghost, always following closely behind them.

"We can't escape like this, we must find a way to fight back!" Chu Tian said, panting, with a hint of anxiety on his face.

Qin Feng also realized the seriousness of the problem. He knew that he would not be able to get rid of the enemy if he continued like this. So he decided to make a bold decision - to confront the enemy head-on and completely defeat them with a powerful counterattack.

Qin Feng and his companions stopped in an empty valley. They decided to have a final showdown with the pursuing assassins here. There was silence all around, and a depressing atmosphere filled the air.

Soon, the leading assassin and his men arrived at the valley. They saw the intention of Qin Feng and others at a glance, and said with a sneer: "It seems that you are not going to escape again. Well, let you die here today!"

Qin Feng did not answer. He took a deep breath and concentrated all his spiritual power. The Dragon Shadow Sword flashed a dazzling light in his hand. He knew that this would be a battle of life and death, and he could not relax at all.

"Come on, let us see how powerful you so-called dark sects are!" Qin Feng shouted and took the lead in attacking. The Dragon Shadow Sword turned into a blue lightning and hit the leading assassin directly.

The battle broke out again, and the two sides launched a fierce duel in the valley. Every attack of Qin Feng was as powerful as thunder, and Ye Li and Chu Tian also attacked with all their strength. They knew that there was no way out now, and the only choice was to defeat the enemy.

The black-robed assassins obviously did not expect Qin Feng and his men to launch such a powerful counterattack. They gradually became powerless under the continuous attacks. Especially the leading assassin, although his martial spirit was powerful, he gradually lost his advantage in front of Qin Feng's Dragon Shadow Sword.

After a fierce fight, Qin Feng finally seized the opportunity and used the ultimate move of the Dragon Shadow Nine Styles, "Thunderbolt". The sword light slashed at the leading assassin like the wrath of the sky. The assassin had no time to dodge and was hit directly by the sword light, and his body was instantly swallowed by the power of thunder and lightning.

As the leading assassin fell, the remaining black-robed assassins lost their fighting spirit and fled. Qin Feng and his companions did not pursue them. They were exhausted and could only barely stand.

"We... won." Zhang Meng said, panting, with a tired but satisfied smile on his face.

Qin Feng put away the Dragon Shadow Sword, his eyes still showing a trace of vigilance: "We have to go back quickly, there may be more enemies here."

Despite being extremely tired, Qin Feng and his companions remained highly vigilant. They knew that this battle was only a small victory and the threat of the dark sect still existed. They had to return to the academy as soon as possible to prepare for more challenges.
