Chapter 643
Strange Patterns
"Wow, Chen Ze's dad, you're amazing!" Yan Xiaoxiao said weakly.
"It's nothing, it's all because you're all here for me," Chen Ze replied gently, but his eyes grew even more determined.
Tian Siyao and Tian Fen'er exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Although we already knew Chen Ze was no ordinary person, his performance today was still amazing.
Chen Ze carried Yan Xiaoxiao on his back and slowly walked into the world behind the stone gate.
He knew in his heart that he would face more unknowns and dangers, but as long as he had these trustworthy friends by his side, he would have endless courage and strength.
Just then, a strange wind blew by, making everyone's clothes flutter.
Tian Siyao gripped the sword hilt tightly, while Tian Fen'er pointed her sword at the darkness ahead. "Let's step into the unknown together," Chen Ze said, a slight smile on his face as he gripped the Yin-Yang Sword and walked forward.
"Yes, we will definitely get out of here," Yan Xiaoxiao said weakly, but her eyes were full of expectation and trust.
Holding her sword, Tian Siyao walked firmly down the corridor.
Each of her steps caused the strange markings on the stone wall to flicker slightly, as if they were ancient and mysterious codes conveying some kind of information.
Chen Ze stood behind her, his expression solemn, his eyes fixed on his surroundings.
He felt the oppressive atmosphere here, which made him uneasy.
Yan Xiaoxiao kept a careful eye on Tian Siyao and the glowing sword in her hand, as if searching for some kind of sense of security.
"Something seems off about this corridor," Tian Fen'er said nervously, her hand accidentally touching a medicine bottle filled with Qingling herbs.
Tian Siyao tilted her head slightly, signaling with her eyes that everyone should not make any rash moves.
She knew that in this unknown environment, any small mistake could lead to disaster.
Finally, the group reached the end of the corridor, and another stone door slowly came into view.
The door is engraved with an enigmatic pattern, like an ancient code, guarding the unknown world behind it.
"Is everyone ready?" Tian Siyao asked.
"Of course, we'll listen to you." A slight smile appeared on Chen Ze's tense face.
Tian Siyao took a deep breath and pushed open the stone door.
Before them lay a huge stone chamber, its walls also covered with strange markings, as if they were part of some ancient magic.
In the center of the stone chamber was a stone platform, and on the platform was a ghostly figure whose shape was constantly twisting and changing, but which never uttered a word.
"What, what is this?" Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't help but grab Chen Ze's hand tightly.
"It seems that nothing here is simple." Tian Siyao gripped her sword tightly, her expression becoming even more serious.
"Dad, I'm so scared," Yan Xiaoxiao said, trembling.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Chen Ze tried his best to make his voice sound calm.
Tian Siyao walked to the stone platform, her sword trembling slightly, as if sensing the presence of a ghost.
Suddenly, the ghostly figure began to emit eerie cries. Then, its form began to change, but it remained silent.
“This ghost has the ability to shapeshift, but it doesn’t seem to want to communicate with us.” Tian Siyao’s heart skipped a beat as she voiced her observation.
Chen Ze, Yan Xiaoxiao, and Tian Fen'er remained silent, watching Tian Siyao and Guiying's every move with nervousness.
Everyone knows that anything can happen next, but in any case, they will follow Tian Siyao closely until all the mysteries here are revealed.
The atmosphere inside the stone chamber grew increasingly oppressive, yet also increasingly captivating. Everyone awaited that breathtaking moment, perhaps, in the very next second.
When the ghostly figure appeared, the temperature inside the stone chamber plummeted, and a chilling, murderous aura swept over us, as if even the air itself had frozen.
Chen Ze's expression changed slightly. He immediately put down Yan Xiaoxiao in his arms, turned around and stood in front of her, assuming a defensive posture.
Tian Siyao moved even faster, taking out the strangely shaped Yin-Yang sword from her bosom. The sword flashed with two different colors of light, one black and one white, just like the power of Yin and Yang.
Her eyes gleamed, and she swung her sword at the ghostly figure.
The sword flashed like lightning, piercing through the entire stone chamber.
With a soft "whoosh," the ghostly figure seemed to be greatly impacted, being knocked back several steps by the power of the Yin-Yang Sword.
But disturbingly, it did not disappear; instead, it turned into a wisp of smoke that drifted through the stone chamber.
"Not enough." Chen Ze gritted his teeth and decided to take out his Yin-Yang Sword to fight the ghostly figure with Tian Siyao.
"Be careful, I have a feeling this ghostly figure is unusual," Tian Siyao warned.
Chen Ze nodded, and a Yin-Yang sword appeared in his hand. Unlike Tian Siyao's sword, his sword was more rugged, and the black and white light was stronger.
The two swung their swords almost simultaneously, unleashing a massive whirlwind that trapped the ghostly figure within.
The atmosphere inside the stone chamber was extremely tense, as if it could explode at any moment.
Yan Xiaoxiao covered her mouth, nervously watching everything before her, but she knew that all she could do now was trust Chen Ze and Tian Siyao.
Finally, under the combined impact of the two Yin-Yang swords, the ghostly figure let out a shrill scream, its smoke-like body gradually dissipated, and finally turned into countless black fragments, disappearing into the air.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, and the tense atmosphere eased slightly.
Tian Siyao looked at the Yin-Yang Sword in her hand, then at Chen Ze, and smiled softly.
"It seems our teamwork is going quite well," she said.
"Yes, if you hadn't intervened in time, the situation would probably have been much worse." Chen Ze smiled and then turned to Yan Xiaoxiao. "Xiaoxiao, it's alright now, don't be afraid."
Yan Xiaoxiao threw herself into Chen Ze's arms and hugged him tightly, clearly quite frightened.
Silence returned to the stone chamber, but Chen Ze and Tian Siyao knew that this was just the tip of the iceberg, and more unknowns and dangers awaited them ahead.
However, at least in this moment, they gained a glimmer of hope and a rare sense of trust with each other.
Tian Siyao gripped the sword tightly in her hand, its sharp tip gleaming with a faint light.
Chen Ze looked at her and nodded, as if to tell her, "Go for it." Tian Siyao took a deep breath and slashed her sword fiercely at the blocked stone wall.
With a loud "bang," the stone wall shook, but it did not break open.
Tian Siyao tightened her grip on the hilt of her sword, frowning in thought.
“We need more power,” Chen Ze reminded him.
Tian Siyao nodded, closed her eyes, and gathered all her strength into the tip of her sword.
An even more dazzling light gradually condensed at the tip of the sword.
"Go!" She swung her sword sharply, and this time, the stone wall finally cracked open, creating a passage.
The two strode into the newly opened passage, their eyes falling on the murals.
These murals are not ordinary landscapes or figures, but rather a series of eerie and chilling patterns.
Some appeared to be some kind of incantation, while others were ghosts or monsters of various shapes. (End of Chapter)
