Chapter 216: Figure in the Fog
The four thanked the old man and left the rotunda. Following his guidance, they found the cave's exit. As they emerged, sunlight streamed down upon them, and they felt as if they had just emerged from a long nightmare.
This experience has deepened their friendship. They know that there are more challenges waiting for them in the future, but they are no longer afraid.
They continued to walk deeper into the swamp, and the direction where the strange light fell was still full of mystery.
They don't know what dangers lie ahead, but with the power of the "Tears of the Stars" and firm faith, they move forward step by step, ready to face new adventures.
The swamp environment was still strange, and the surrounding trees were twisted even more, as if telling them the secrets hidden here.
The ripples in the muddy water grew larger and larger, as if some gigantic creature were swimming beneath. The four of them walked cautiously, constantly alert to any movement around them.
Suddenly, a thick fog rose from the swamp ahead, and a sinister laugh came from the fog.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect that you could come out of the cave alive and get the power of 'Tears of the Stars'. It really surprises me." A hoarse voice sounded in the thick fog.
The four men stopped, gripped their weapons, and stared nervously at the thick fog.
The thick fog gradually dissipated, and a figure in a black cloak appeared in front of them.
The face under the cloak was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly, but the evil aura emanating from him made the four of them feel a chill.
"You shouldn't get the 'Tears of the Stars', it should be mine." said the black cloaked figure.
"Who are you? Why do you want the 'Tears of the Stars'?" Xiao Yichen asked.
The black-cloaked figure sneered and said, "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I will use the 'Tears of the Stars' to help me rule this world."
The four people heard his words and said, "We won't let you succeed." Lan Yunyan said.
The black-cloaked figure slowly raised his hand, and a powerful dark magic surged out from his hand, sweeping towards the four people.
The four of them quickly cast magic to resist, and they found that the magic power of this black cloaked figure was extremely strong, far exceeding any enemy they had encountered before.
The dark magic collided with their magic, causing a violent explosion and turning the surrounding swamp into a mess.
Xiao Yichen rushed towards the black cloaked figure, waving the lightsaber in his hand with a series of sharp sword moves.
The figure in the black cloak was not in a hurry. He gently waved the magic wand in his hand, and a black light curtain appeared in front of him. The lightsaber slashed on the light curtain, but only splashed a burst of black sparks, unable to cause any harm to him.
Lan Yunyan, Lin Wan'er, and Yun Mengyao also launched attacks, and various magic spells flew towards the black cloaked figure.
The black-cloaked figure simply sneered in the face of the four people's attacks.
He muttered something, and the dark magic power around him began to gather and form black ghosts.
These ghosts pounced towards the four people, their bodies passing through their magical attacks and rushing directly towards their bodies.
The four of them dodged quickly, but a few ghosts still pounced on them. They felt a cold chill invading their bodies, and the circulation of magic power became slow.
"We can't let these ghosts bother us, they will consume our vitality." Lin Wan'er shouted loudly.
The four of them began to concentrate their strength to attack the ghosts. Every swing of Xiao Yichen's lightsaber could disperse several ghosts, Lan Yunyan's long whip could also pull the ghosts away, and Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao cast purification magic to eliminate the ghosts.
With the efforts of the four people, the ghosts were gradually eliminated.
But the black-cloaked figure did not give them a chance to breathe and attacked again. This time he cast a powerful dark magic - "Dark Abyss".
A huge black vortex began to appear in the swamp under their feet, emitting a powerful suction force that tried to suck the four people in.
The four of them held on tightly to the trees around them, but the suction grew stronger and stronger, and they felt their bodies gradually being dragged towards the vortex.
"We must work together to break this vortex," Xiao Yichen shouted. The four of them gathered their magic power and launched a powerful attack towards the center of the vortex.
The attack collided with the vortex, generating a powerful impact that sent the four flying. The black vortex also gradually dissipated under this attack.
The black-cloaked figure was a little angry when he saw that his magic had been broken. He decided to take action himself. He flashed and rushed towards Xiao Yichen.
He was incredibly fast, arriving in front of Xiao Yichen almost instantly. He thrust his wand towards Xiao Yichen, who quickly blocked it with his lightsaber. Their weapons collided, producing a crisp metallic sound.
The black-cloaked figure was so powerful that Xiao Yichen felt his arms go numb. He kept backing away, trying to distance himself.
But the black cloaked figure kept chasing him, his attacks raining down on Xiao Yichen. Xiao Yichen looked a little embarrassed under his attacks, and several wounds appeared on his body.
Lan Yunyan, Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao saw Xiao Yichen in danger and immediately rushed over to support him.
Lan Yunyan's long whip swung around the black-cloaked figure's arm, attempting to block his attack. Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao launched magical attacks from either side, attempting to distract the black-cloaked figure.
The figure in the black cloak was not afraid at all. He waved his wand, and a dark magic power shook off Lan Yunyan's whip. At the same time, a black shield appeared around his body. Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao's magic hit the shield without causing any damage.
"Do you think you can stop me like this? How naive." The black-cloaked figure taunted. He increased the intensity of his attack, and Xiao Yichen's pressure grew even greater.
But Xiao Yichen did not give up. He knew that he could not retreat. Once he retreated, not only would he die, but his companions would also be in danger.
