Chapter 311: Counterattack and Uninvited Guests

The black-robed man rushed towards Qin Feng with a black dagger in his hand, so fast that no one could react. The female flaming warrior was about to block him, but she found that the dagger emitted a strange black light, which seemed to carry some powerful evil power.

"Everyone be careful, this dagger is not simple!" The female flame warrior hurriedly reminded.

Qin Feng saw that the situation was not good, and immediately blocked it with the Dragon Shadow Sword. The dagger and the sword collided, making a harsh metal friction sound, and at the same time a huge impact force shook Qin Feng back several steps.

"Why did this guy's strength suddenly increase?" Chu Tian shouted in surprise.

"That dagger must be some kind of evil artifact that can increase his power!" Ye Li analyzed.

"Does he have any cheats?" Lin Xiao joked, "This is too unfair!"

The black-robed man grinned and said, "You foolish adventurers, you don't understand the power of the Dragon Soul at all! I have already merged with it, you are no match for me!"

"Don't be too proud, we won't give up easily!" Qin Feng said firmly.

"That's right, we still have a lot of tricks that we haven't used yet!" Lin Xiao said, while rolling over to avoid the attack of the man in black robe, he stabbed at his feet with a dagger.

The old man suddenly stood up and took out his latest invention, a device that looked like a small turret, and placed it in front of the man in black robe.

"Try my 'Energy Binding Cannon'!" shouted the old man.

The old man pressed the switch, and the small turret began to make a "buzzing" sound. After a few seconds, a strong green beam shot towards the man in black robe. The beam looked like a huge green rope, which directly entangled the man in black robe.

"Wow, this thing actually works!" Zhang Meng exclaimed.

"Don't be happy too soon. Let's see what he says." Ye Li warned cautiously.

Sure enough, after the black-robed man was tied up by the beam, although he could not move for a while, a sneer of disdain appeared on his face. He struggled hard and easily broke free from the restraint of the beam.

“Hahaha, do you think this toy can trap me?” The man in black robe laughed, “That’s ridiculous!”

The old man looked at his invention being easily resolved and touched his head awkwardly: "It seems that I underestimated it this time."

"Don't be discouraged, old man Dian, make something more powerful next time." Lin Xiao comforted with a smile.

"I say, stop joking around!" the female flaming warrior said anxiously, "Focus, this is not the time for jokes!"

Qin Feng and his teammates quickly adjusted their status, knowing that they had to use a more rigorous strategy to deal with the attack of the man in black robe. Qin Feng commanded in a low voice: "We need to distract his attention and find an opportunity to take back the Dragon Soul."

Chu Tian nodded: "Zhang Meng and I will go around to the back to disturb him."

Ye Li said: "I will use cold air to restrict his movements."

The old man patted his chest and said, "I'll try other props, maybe it will work."

Lin Xiao blinked and smiled, "Then I will be responsible for teasing him and attracting his attention."

The black-robed man didn't give them much time to prepare, and swung his dagger again, quickly approaching Qin Feng. The female flaming warrior took the lead and blocked Qin Feng, hitting the black-robed man's dagger with her spear. The two collided, making a deafening explosion.

"Oh my, this sister is really strong." Lin Xiao couldn't help but admire the fierce battle between the female flame warrior and the man in black robe.

"Concentrate!" Qin Feng shouted, then rushed forward and swung his sword to chop the black-robed man's flank.

The man in black dodged and was about to counterattack when Chu Tian and Zhang Meng rushed over from behind. The speed of the Storm Wolf combined with the strength of the Giant Rock Bear struck him straight in the back.

"Hmph, you've come just in time!" The man in black robe sneered, turned around instantly, drew an arc with his dagger, and headed straight for Chu Tian and Zhang Meng.

"Ye Li!" Qin Feng shouted.

Ye Li immediately used the Frost Fox's cold energy, and the cold breath spread quickly, instantly freezing the black-robed man's feet. The black-robed man's movements froze, obviously not expecting this sudden change.

"Good opportunity!" Qin Feng shouted, swinging his sword straight into the black-robed man's chest.

Just as the Dragon Shadow Sword was about to pierce the black-robed man, he suddenly raised the Dragon Soul in his hand, and blue light burst out again, forming an invisible barrier that blocked Qin Feng's attack.

"Do you think you can defeat me with just this little trick?" The black-robed man taunted, "The power of the Dragon Soul is beyond your imagination!"

Qin Feng was knocked back a few steps, but he was not discouraged. He held the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly and said firmly: "We will not give up!"

"Yes, we have more tricks!" Lin Xiao took the opportunity to rush up from the side and quickly cut through the black-robed man's defense with a dagger.

However, the man in black robe seemed to be prepared. He turned around suddenly, blocked Lin Xiao's attack with a dagger, and then kicked her in the abdomen.

Lin Xiao staggered and almost fell to the ground, but she still stood up tenaciously and said with a smile: "I haven't fallen yet, don't think you can defeat me so easily."

"How stubborn." The man in black robe snorted.

As the two sides were fighting fiercely, a steady voice suddenly sounded from all around: "Stop, all of you."

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a middle-aged man walking out of the woods. He was wearing a black cloak, a mask on his face, and holding an ancient staff in his hand. His appearance stunned everyone, especially the man in black robe, whose face suddenly changed.

"Why are you here?" The man in black robe had a trembling voice, obviously surprised.

"I should have expected that you would act on your own." The middle-aged man said coldly, "You are too confident."

"Who are you?" Qin Feng asked vigilantly.

"This is none of your business." The middle-aged man replied, his eyes still fixed on the man in black robes, "You have violated the orders of the sect. Now, hand over the Dragon Soul."

The black-robed man sneered: "Hand it over? Why? The Dragon Soul is mine now, I won't hand it over to anyone else!"

The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head: "Do you really think that you can control the Dragon Soul with your strength? Its power will devour you and make you completely lose your mind."

The man in black robe was stunned for a moment, obviously hit by these words in a soft spot.

"Don't listen to him!" The old man whispered to Qin Feng, "This man is more dangerous. Judging from his posture, he is a shrewd guy."

"What should we do?" Ye Li asked in a low voice.

"Let's wait and see what happens." Qin Feng replied, "There is a conflict between them, and we can take advantage of it."

The man in black robes gnashed his teeth and looked at the middle-aged man: "You are here to steal my gains, right?"

The middle-aged man laughed disdainfully and said, "Battle results? Do you really think you can control the Dragon Soul? It requires a stronger power, and you are far from it."

The black-robed man waved the Dragon Soul angrily, and the blue light surged again, but this time, the light became unstable and seemed to be out of control. His hands began to tremble, and a painful expression appeared on his face.

“Did you see that? This is why you can’t control it.” The middle-aged man said calmly.

"Shut up! I can control it!" the black-robed man shouted, trying to stabilize the power of the Dragon Soul.

"Now is our chance!" Qin Feng shouted to his teammates.

The team immediately took action. Ye Li released cold air, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng attacked from both sides, and the Flame Warrior also joined the battle without hesitation.

The middle-aged man glanced at Qin Feng and the others, seemed to understand their intention, but did not stop them. Instead, he stood aside and watched coldly.

“You guys!” The man in black robe tried to fight back, but his strength was obviously weakened by the instability of the Dragon Soul, and his movements became slow.

Just as everyone was preparing to take back the Dragon Soul, suddenly, the Dragon Soul made a huge roar, blue light flashed violently, and the entire ground began to shake, as if the earth was responding to the call of the Dragon Soul.

"It's getting out of control!" Ye Li yelled.

Qin Feng blocked the attack of the man in black robe and retreated: "Get out of the way!"

But it was too late. The power of the Dragon Soul exploded in an instant, and a blue beam of light shot out from it, shooting straight into the sky. The man in black robe was directly knocked out by this force and fell heavily to the ground.

Qin Feng and his team were also pushed back by this powerful shock wave, but they quickly stabilized their bodies and looked at the Dragon Soul nervously.

"Everyone be careful, there's something wrong with this thing!" Lin Xiao warned.

At this moment, the middle-aged man rushed forward quickly, grasped the Dragon Soul in one hand, and began to chant a spell. The blue light gradually subsided, and the Dragon Soul returned to calm under his control.

“You have to thank me,” the middle-aged man said coldly, “otherwise you would have been swallowed up by its power.”

"What do you want to do?" Qin Feng asked vigilantly.

"I don't want to do anything." The middle-aged man looked at the man in black robe, "I just come to clean up some trouble."

After saying this, he turned and left, the dragon soul still glowing faintly in his hand.

"We can't let him take the Dragon Soul away!" Ye Li shouted.

"Calm down." Qin Feng stopped her, "This guy is not simple, we need to have a strategy."

The middle-aged man disappeared into the woods, leaving behind silence.

"It seems we have to make new plans." Chu Tian said helplessly.

Qin Feng nodded: "No matter what, the Dragon Soul must return to our hands."

As night falls, they face new challenges, but they know that this is just the beginning of the adventure.
