Chapter 642: The Fierce Battle in the Ice Valley and the Dark Truth

The huge dark bear rushed towards Chu Tian and others. The dark soul power on its body was like a materialized black flame, burning fiercely. Wherever it went, there were burnt marks on the ice.

"This guy doesn't look easy to deal with, everyone be careful!" Zhang Meng shouted as he once again let the Giant Rock Bear spirit possess him. He didn't want to show weakness in front of this dark guy who was also a bear.

Chu Tian quickly gathered the thunder spirit power in his hands, his eyes full of vigilance: "This dark spirit power is very strong, and this dark bear looks incredibly powerful. We can't fight it head-on, we have to find its weakness."

The dark bear had already rushed forward, waving its huge paw and slapping Zhang Meng who was at the front. The paw brought up a whistling sound, and the force was so great that it seemed to be able to flatten a small mountain.

Zhang Meng didn't dare to be careless, he used his bear paw to meet it. With a loud "bang", the two bear paws collided with each other, stirring up a circle of powerful soul power fluctuations. Zhang Meng felt like he had hit a mountain of iron, his arms were numb from the shock, and his body involuntarily slid back several meters.

"How come this guy is so strong!" Zhang Meng exclaimed in surprise.

Qin Feng saw that Zhang Meng was at a disadvantage, so he flashed and stabbed the Dark Bear's eyes with the Dragon Shadow Sword with a golden glow. The Dark Bear seemed to sense the danger, and it tilted its head and easily avoided Qin Feng's attack, while its other bear paw swept towards Qin Feng.

Qin Feng somersaulted in the air and narrowly avoided the attack.

Ye Li commanded the Frost Fox to release its extremely cold soul power, trying to freeze the Dark Bear's movements. The cold quickly spread to the Dark Bear's body, condensing a thin layer of ice on its fur.

"Haha, it seems to be working!" Ye Li was delighted.

However, the Dark Bear simply shook its body, and the dark soul power surged, and the thin ice was shattered instantly.

"What should we do? Ordinary attacks seem to be useless against it." A student said anxiously.

Chu Tian observed the Dark Bear carefully, and he discovered that every time before the Dark Bear launched an attack, a black crystal on its chest would flash.

"Look, the crystal on its chest may be the key. Let's focus our attack there." Chu Tian said.

After hearing Chu Tian's words, everyone adjusted their attack direction and attacked the black crystal on the dark bear's chest.

Qin Feng used "Dragon Shadow Piercing" again, and the Dragon Shadow Sword turned into a stream of light and pierced the black crystal. Ye Li let the Frost Fox release the strongest cold air and freeze the crystal. Zhang Meng and the students also gathered their soul power to form a powerful soul power wave and blasted towards the crystal.

The dark bear sensed the danger. It used its two paws to protect the crystal on its chest, and at the same time, it spurted out a wave of dark soul power from its mouth, heading towards the attacks of the crowd.

The forces of both sides collided in the air, making a deafening explosion. The powerful impact caused Chu Tian and others to fly backwards.

"This guy is really tenacious." After Chu Tian stabilized his body, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Just when everyone was preparing to launch another attack, the dark bear suddenly turned around and ran towards the depths of the ice valley.

"Why did it run away?" Zhang Meng asked puzzledly.

"No matter why it runs, we must chase it and not let it get away. The dark power in this ice valley must be related to it." Qin Feng said.

So they chased in the direction the dark bear escaped.

Deep in the ice valley, they found a huge source of dark soul power. This soul power source was protected by a dark formation. The dark bear ran to the soul power source and stopped. It stood there, as if guarding this soul power source.

"Look over there, that source of dark soul power must be the key to the awakening of dark power." Ye Li said, pointing forward.

At this moment, a sinister laugh came from the darkness: "Do you think you can stop our plan? You are too naive."

A man covered in a black robe slowly walked out. He exuded a dark soul power that was even stronger than the dark bear, and had a sneer on his face.

"It's you guys from the dark forces again, what on earth do you want to do?" Chu Tian asked angrily.

"We want to rule the world of martial spirits. Once this source of dark soul power is fully awakened, the entire world of martial spirits will be shrouded in darkness. Then the world will be ours." The man in black robe said proudly.

"Your conspiracy will not succeed." Qin Feng said firmly.

The man in black robe sneered: "Then let's see if you have the ability to do it."

He waved his hands, and the dark power in the dark soul power source began to flow into the dark bear's body frantically. The dark bear's body became larger, and the dark soul power in its body became stronger.

"Now let you taste the true power of the Dark Bear." said the man in black robe.

The dark bear rushed towards Chu Tian and the others again, this time with a faster speed and greater strength. Every step it took on the ice would cause huge cracks on the ice.

Chu Tian and others did not dare to delay and they prepared for battle again.

Qin Feng mobilized all the inherited power in his body. The runes on the Dragon Shadow Sword flashed with dazzling golden light. He shouted: "Dragon Shadow World Destroying Slash!"

A huge golden sword blade slashed towards the dark bear. The dark bear was not in a hurry. It waved its paw and smashed the golden sword blade into pieces.

"What?" Qin Feng widened his eyes in surprise.

Seeing this, Ye Li decided to use her ultimate move. She deeply merged the Frost Fox Martial Spirit with her own soul, then formed seals with her hands and chanted an ancient spell.

"God's Punishment of Ice!" Ye Li shouted.

The Frost Fox's body became enormous, and it opened its mouth and blew an extremely cold air stream towards the Dark Bear. Wherever this air stream went, everything was frozen into ice, and the temperature in the ice valley dropped sharply.

The dark bear was enveloped by the cold air, and its movements became slow, but the dark soul power in its body was still resisting the erosion of the cold air.

Zhang Meng saw the right opportunity and rushed towards the dark bear. He compressed his giant rock bear martial spirit to the extreme, and then suddenly exploded when he approached the dark bear.

"Rock blast!" Zhang Meng shouted.

His bear paw slammed heavily on the dark bear with great force. The dark bear was knocked back a few steps by the blow, but soon stabilized its body.

The students also displayed their strongest skills, and various soul power lights shot towards the dark bear.

The man in black robe saw that the dark bear was unable to resist, so he formed seals with his hands again, separated some dark power from the dark soul power source, and injected it into the dark bear's body.

The dark bear was injected with new power. It let out a roar and then launched a more fierce counterattack against Chu Tian and others.

Its bear paw swung continuously, and dark soul blades flew towards everyone. Chu Tian and others hurriedly dodged, but several students were still hit by the soul blades and injured.

"Don't panic, let's continue attacking." Chu Tian shouted.

He flew into the air and raised his thunder spirit power to the extreme. Strong lightning flashed around his body, and these lightning lights gathered together to form a huge thunder ball.

"Thunder!" Chu Tian shouted, and the thunder ball blasted towards the dark bear.

After the thunder ball hit the dark bear, a huge explosion occurred, and the dark bear fell to the ground due to the impact of the explosion.

The man in black robe frowned when he saw that Dark Bear was injured. He decided to take action himself and not let Dark Bear fight alone.

The black-robed man flashed and instantly appeared in front of Chu Tian and the others. He stretched out his hand and grabbed the student closest to him. The student tried to dodge in fear, but the black-robed man was too fast and his hand directly grabbed the student's neck.

"If you dare to move again, I will crush him to death." The man in black robe threatened.

"Let him go!" Chu Tian shouted angrily.

"You want me to let him go? Sure, put down your weapons and surrender to me." said the man in black robe.

Just when the black-robed man was distracted, the student he was holding suddenly used his knee to hit the black-robed man's stomach. Although this did not cause much damage to the black-robed man, it made him loosen his grip a little.

The student took the opportunity to break free and quickly returned to his companions.

"Good job!" Zhang Meng praised.

The black-robed man was furious, and all the dark soul power in his body burst out, launching a more powerful attack on everyone. The dark soul power formed black chains, wrapping around Chu Tian and others.

Everyone hurriedly used various methods to resist. Chu Tian's thunder shield, Ye Li's ice wall, Qin Feng's sword shadow defense, and the students' light shields all played a role.

However, the black-robed man's attacks continued wave after wave, with no sign of stopping.

"This is not a solution. We have to find a way to destroy the source of dark soul power." Qin Feng said.

"But that dark soul power source is protected by a dark formation. How can we get close to it?" Ye Li said worriedly.

Just when everyone was thinking about it, Chu Tian suddenly thought of a solution.

"We can use our soul powers to connect with each other, forming a powerful soul power shield, and then advance towards the source of dark soul power. In the process of advancing, we will look for opportunities to destroy the dark formation." Chu Tian said.

Everyone thought this method was feasible, so they followed Chu Tian's method and connected their soul powers to each other. A huge soul power shield was formed, and they slowly advanced towards the source of dark soul power.

The man in black robe saw their actions and wanted to stop them, but was blocked by the power of the soul shield.

"Do you think you can destroy the source of dark soul power like this? How stupid." The man in black robe sneered.

However, when they approached the dark formation, they found that it was more complicated than they had imagined.

"This formation looks like it's made up of ancient dark runes. How can we break it?" asked a student.

Ye Li observed the formation carefully and found that there were several key runes in the formation that were constantly flashing.

"I think these flashing runes may be the key to the formation. Let's try to attack them with purified soul power." Ye Li said.

Everyone gathered their purified soul powers together and launched an attack on those key runes.

After some effort, the key rune was destroyed and cracks began to appear in the dark formation.

"Keep attacking and destroy this formation!" Chu Tian shouted.

With the attacks of everyone, the dark formation was finally completely destroyed.

They rushed towards the source of dark soul power, wanting to destroy the root of this dark power.

The man in black robe saw the dark formation being destroyed, and he was horrified and wanted to stop it, but it was too late, Chu Tian and others had already rushed to the source of dark soul power.

They gathered their strength together and launched a final attack on the source of dark soul power.

Under the joint attack of everyone, the source of dark soul power was destroyed. The dark power in the dark bear also quickly disappeared, it returned to its original size, and then fell to the ground, no longer moving.

When the man in black saw that his source of dark soul power was destroyed, he knew that his plan had failed.

"Just wait, I will be back." The man in black robe said these harsh words and then disappeared into the darkness.

As the source of dark soul power was destroyed, the dark fog in the ice valley gradually dissipated.

"Huh, it's finally over." Zhang Meng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, but we must always remain vigilant. The dark forces will not give up so easily." Chu Tian said.

They left the Ice Valley with the injured students and embarked on the journey back to the Soul Master Academy. This experience made them realize more deeply that the road to protecting the martial soul world is still long and there are more challenges waiting for them.
