Chapter 1071
I Have a Solution
"No matter what he says, we must stop him!" Master Qingyang shouted, brandishing his longsword, the sword energy crisscrossing as it rushed straight towards the man in black robes.
However, that sword energy was also blocked by an invisible barrier. The man in black robes sneered, his tone full of mockery: "You think you can destroy my magic array? Wishful thinking!"
Suddenly, the light in the center of the magic array became even more dazzling, and a powerful force surged forth from it, causing the four to feel an immense sense of oppression. Master Qingyang frowned deeply: "We must find his weakness!"
“I have a plan,” Bai Yunzi said in a low voice, his hands quickly forming a hand seal. “I can use a secret technique to probe his magic array, but it will take some time.”
"We'll buy you time!" Master Qingyang said decisively, then turned to Yang Ling and Dan Yan, "You two, attack his protective barrier with all your might, don't let him get distracted!"
Yang Ling and Dan Yan immediately nodded and began to attack the black-robed man's protective barrier with all their might. Yang Ling wielded his longsword, the sword light like a rainbow, and sword energy slashed towards the barrier; Dan Yan continuously cast fire spells, and raging flames continued to assault the barrier.
At the same time, Bai Yunzi closed his eyes, quickly formed hand seals, and chanted, "Secret Technique Detection, Break Barrier and Reveal Form!" A golden light flew out from his hands and headed straight for the center of the magic array.
The light swirled above the magic circle, gradually forming a huge halo. Suddenly, countless tiny runes appeared within the halo, flashing incessantly as if conveying some message. Bai Yunzi opened his eyes, a hint of joy flashing within them: "Found it! His magic circle has a weakness, it's in the rune at the center of the circle!"
"Let's focus our attack on that rune!" Master Qingyang shouted, pointing his longsword directly at the rune in the center of the magic array. "Everyone, get ready!"
The four quickly adjusted their formation, preparing for the final blow. Yang Ling gripped his longsword tightly, his gaze resolute: "This time, we must succeed!"
"That's right, we absolutely cannot fail this time!" Dan Yan formed hand seals, with raging flames churning in his palms, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Bai Yunzi silently chanted an incantation, casting a protective spell on himself and his teammates: "Heavenly Thunder and Earthly Fire, Break Through Barriers and Reveal Form!"
"Action!" With a command from Master Qingyang, the four launched an attack simultaneously. Sword light, flames, lightning, and golden light converged and headed straight for the runes in the center of the magic array.
Just as they were about to strike the rune, the man in black robes suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha! You think you can destroy my magic circle like this? Wishful thinking!"
As he finished speaking, the light in the center of the magic circle suddenly became even brighter, and a powerful force erupted from it, blocking all four people's attacks. The four people were knocked back several steps, their faces somewhat pale.
"How can his strength be so great?" Yang Ling said through gritted teeth, a hint of anger and resentment flashing in his eyes.
"We cannot give up!" Master Qingyang said in a deep voice. "Let's try again, and this time we must succeed!"
"Yes, we can't give up!" Dan Yan's eyes blazed with fury. "We still have a chance!"
Bai Yunzi nodded and regrouped his magic power: "Everyone, concentrate and let's try again!"
The four adjusted their formation again, preparing for a second attack. Master Qingyang gripped his longsword tightly, his gaze resolute: "This time, we must succeed!"
Yang Ling and Dan Yan gripped their weapons tightly, ready to go all out. Bai Yunzi silently chanted incantations, casting protective spells on everyone.
"Action!" Master Qingyang gave the order again, and the four of them launched an attack simultaneously. Sword light, flames, lightning, and golden light converged once more, heading straight for the runes in the center of the magic array.
This time, however, the black-robed man did not laugh. His face turned grim, and a flicker of panic flashed in his eyes. He quickly formed hand seals, attempting to strengthen the magic array's defenses, but it was too late. The four attacks simultaneously struck the rune in the center of the array, unleashing a powerful burst of energy that completely destroyed the array. "Ah!" The black-robed man screamed in agony, his body blasted away by the immense force, crashing heavily to the ground. His black robe was torn, revealing a pale face filled with pain and rage.
"You... how dare you... destroy my magic array!" he said through gritted teeth, his voice filled with hatred.
Master Qingyang looked at him coldly: "Speak, what exactly is your conspiracy?"
The man in black robes sneered, a sly glint in his eyes: "You think you've won? Hmph! Our plan has only just begun!"
After saying that, he suddenly trembled, then turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared into the air, leaving behind only a lingering eerie aura.
"Chase!" Bai Yunzi exclaimed. "He must have gone to start another plan. Let's chase after him!" The four exchanged glances and, without hesitation, chased after the direction where the black smoke disappeared.
The four quickly traversed the corridor, chasing after the direction in which the black smoke had disappeared. The sword in Yang Ling's hand glowed faintly, illuminating their path.
“That man in black robes must have had a backup plan. We can’t let our guard down,” Master Qingyang said as he walked, his eyes filled with vigilance.
Bai Yunzi frowned as he chanted the incantation: "His words before he disappeared show that their plan is by no means isolated."
Dan Yan quickened his pace, a hint of anxiety on his face: "We must find his whereabouts as soon as possible, we can't give him a chance to catch his breath."
Suddenly, a low, chanting sound came from ahead. The four exchanged a glance and quickened their pace. As they rounded the last corner, the view opened up before them, revealing a massive altar. In the center of the altar stood a figure in black robes, holding a black crystal that emanated an evil aura.
"It's him!" Yang Ling said in a low voice, the sword in his hand gleaming coldly.
"So you did catch up." The man in black robes sneered, raising his head with a hint of mockery in his eyes. "However, you've come too late."
"Stop!" Master Qingyang shouted, drawing his longsword and unleashing a torrent of sword energy. "We will not let you succeed!"
The man in black robes snorted coldly, and the black crystal in his hand suddenly glowed, releasing a powerful dark force. The four people felt the oppressive aura and took several steps back.
"This power... is so strong!" Dan Yan said through gritted teeth, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"We must attack together and prevent him from activating this altar!" Bai Yunzi quickly formed hand seals, his staff shining brightly. "Get ready!"
The four quickly formed a formation, with Qingyang Zhenren in front, Yang Ling and Dan Yan on the left and right, and Bai Yunzi chanting incantations at the rear to provide support for everyone.
"Attack!" With a command from Master Qingyang, the four launched an attack simultaneously. Sword light, flames, lightning, and golden light converged once more, heading straight for the man in black robes.
The man in black robes sneered, and the black crystal in his hand suddenly emitted a beam of black light, blocking all four attacks. His voice was full of mockery: "How could you mortals possibly withstand my power?" (End of Chapter)
