Chapter 242 Shadow Demon Scythe
The disciples of Qingyun Sect and the army of the Dark Church stopped fighting and watched this decisive duel nervously.
Lan Yunyan gritted her teeth and shouted, "We can't lose!"
Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao also shouted in unison, pouring all their spiritual power into this attack.
Finally, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the three, the dark magic vortex was gradually dispelled. The leader of the Dark Church roared angrily, clearly unwilling to accept defeat.
But at this time, reinforcements from other righteous sects arrived. It turned out that Qingyun Sect had already sent out a distress signal to all the other sects.
The joining of the righteous coalition forces instantly reversed the situation, and the Dark Church's army began to retreat. Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the Dark Church leader tried to escape.
How could Lan Yunyan let him go? She drew her sword and gave chase. After a chase, Lan Yunyan finally caught up with the leader of the Dark Church, and the two of them once again engaged in a thrilling duel.
During the fierce battle, Lan Yunyan discovered a flaw in the leader of the Dark Church and she delivered a fatal blow without hesitation.
The long sword pierced the body of the leader of the Dark Church. The leader widened his eyes and looked at Lan Yunyan in disbelief, then slowly fell down.
With the death of the leader of the Dark Church, the Dark Church's army completely collapsed and fled in all directions.
Lan Yunyan looked at the fallen figure of the leader of the Dark Church without feeling much relief. She knew very well that this victory was only temporary, and the remaining forces of the Dark Church must be hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
And the deeper conspiracy behind it may have just surfaced.
She returned to Qingyun Sect, where she, along with Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao, were warmly welcomed and honored by the entire sect. The sect leader personally hosted a banquet to celebrate their success. However, behind the laughter and joy, Lan Yunyan could sense a sense of solemnity.
After the banquet, the sect leader summoned Lan Yunyan and the other two individually. In the quiet hall, the sect leader said gravely, "Although we have won this time, the threat of the Dark Church has not been eradicated.
According to reports from our clan's spies, they seem to be searching for a long-lost ancient evil weapon. If they were to obtain it, the consequences would be disastrous."
Lan Yunyan's heart trembled as she asked, "What on earth is that ancient evil weapon? How could it be so powerful?"
The Sect Master slowly shook his head. "This evil weapon is called the 'Shadow Demonic Scythe.' Legend has it that it's a weapon left behind by the Demon God. It possesses the terrifying ability to control the power of shadows and souls. It can greatly increase the magic power of the wielder and can bewitch people to use it for its own purposes."
Lin Wan'er frowned. "What should we do now? We can't just sit there and wait for death, right?"
Yun Mengyao also looked at the sect leader with a firm gaze.
The leader pondered for a moment, then said, "I intend to send the three of you out again to search for the Dark Church's whereabouts and prevent them from finding the Shadow Scythe. However, this journey will undoubtedly be fraught with danger. Are you willing?"
Lan Yunyan clasped her fists and replied without hesitation, "Master, we are willing to go. Protecting world peace is the responsibility of the disciples of Qingyun Sect." Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao also responded in unison.
So, after a short rest, the three of them set out on their journey again. They followed the direction of the Dark Church's escape, searching for clues along the way.
After crossing the uninhabited desert, they encountered sandstorms and attacks of sand beasts in the scorching yellow sand.
Lan Yunyan used the Qingfeng Sword Technique, and the sword wind whistled, blowing away the sandstorm. Lin Wan'er used the Lingyin spell to drive away the sand beasts, and Yun Mengyao used the Bingxin Technique to cool down the two of them and resist the heat.
After many hardships, they arrived at an ancient ruin. According to intelligence, the Dark Church once appeared here.
The ruins were filled with an eerie atmosphere, and eerie runes flickered on the walls. Lan Yunyan cautiously explored the path ahead when suddenly, the ground beneath her feet shook, and countless spikes protruded from the ground.
She tapped her toes and soared into the air, simultaneously slashing through the spikes with her sword. Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao also reacted quickly. Lin Wan'er played sonic waves to detect the surrounding traps, while Yun Mengyao used the power of ice and snow to freeze some of the mechanisms.
Deep in the ruins, they finally found traces of the Dark Church.
I saw a group of people in black robes surrounding a huge magic circle. The magic circle emitted a faint evil aura, as if some kind of summoning ritual was being performed.
Lan Yunyan whispered, "It seems they want to summon the power of the Shadow Scythe here. We must stop them."
After saying that, she rushed out first, unleashing the Qingfeng Sword Technique. The sword shadows were as fast as lightning, heading straight for the Dark Church members. Seeing this, the Dark Church members turned around to resist.
Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao also immediately joined the battle.
Lin Wan'er's spiritual sound spell disrupted the black-robed men's magical rhythm, causing their spells to go wrong frequently. The ice spikes summoned by Yun Mengyao fell like raindrops, freezing many of the black-robed men.
However, the Dark Church also came prepared this time.
An old man in a black robe stood up, holding a black magic wand in his hand and muttering something. A powerful dark force surged out of the magic wand, forming a shield that blocked the attacks of Lan Yunyan and others.
At the same time, the light of the magic circle became stronger and stronger, and it seemed that the summoning was about to succeed.
Lan Yunyan knew very well that once the Shadow Demon Scythe was summoned, the situation would be difficult to control.
She took a deep breath, concentrated all her soul power, and performed the strongest move of Qingfeng Sword Technique, "Qingfeng Jueshi".
A massive sword energy, like a brilliant galaxy, pierced the darkness and rushed towards the black-robed old man and the magic circle. This sword embodied her faith and determination, as well as her protection of justice in the world.
The old man in black robe's face changed. He felt the power of the sword and quickly inserted the magic wand in his hand into the ground. He chanted an ancient spell and a dark force surged out of the magic circle, colliding with Lan Yunyan's sword energy.
In an instant, the entire ruins were shaking, light and darkness intertwined, and the roar was deafening.
Seeing this, Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao also increased their spiritual power to the extreme.
Lin Wan'er played the most powerful spiritual spell, "The Sound of Demon-Breaking", and the sound waves were like surging waves, rushing towards the dark forces one after another.
