Mysterious Woman Appears
When everyone heard the woman's laughter, their nerves suddenly tensed, and every hair seemed to stand on end. The laughter echoed in the empty ruins, like a sharp awl, piercing straight into their hearts.
"That laughter... could it be that mysterious woman?" Su Na asked in a trembling voice. Her body involuntarily moved closer to Lin Yu, her hands tightly grasping the corners of his clothes, her eyes filled with fear and anxiety.
The director gestured for silence, signaling everyone to proceed with caution. His gaze was firm and calm, as if he could maintain clear thinking even in this extreme tension. He took a cautious step, and the stone slabs under his feet made a slight creaking sound, which was particularly clear in the silent environment.
They walked along the dim passage, slowly approaching the source of the laughter. Occasionally, water dripped down the walls, making a crisp "tick-tick" sound, as if counting down time. Torches on the walls flickered, their dancing flames casting distorted shadows in the darkness, as if a group of demons hidden in the darkness were baring their fangs and claws.
The atmosphere around them grew increasingly eerie, the air thick with the smell of stale decay, the lingering scent of time, mixed with death and despair. With every step they took, they felt an invisible pressure, as if a pair of eyes were watching them from the darkness.
Finally, they spotted the mysterious woman in a spacious hall. With her back to the group, she stood gracefully, her black robe fluttering in the wind, like a ghost in the night. Her long hair cascaded down her back, gleaming like stars in the night sky. Yet, she exuded an unapproachable, cold aura, as if she were from another world.
"Who are you? Why did you take the inner elixir of the cockscomb python?" The director was the first to break the silence, his voice steady and powerful. His eyes were fixed on the woman's back, and his hands were secretly gathering strength, ready to respond to any possible emergency.
The woman slowly turned around, a mysterious smile on her face. It was like frost in the cold of winter, chilling. "Who am I? You don't need to know. This inner elixir originally belonged to my witch clan." Her voice was crisp and cold, as if it came from a distant horizon. Her eyes revealed a hint of disdain, as if the people before her were as insignificant as ants.
Lin Yu took a step forward, his eyes gleaming with determination. "But if you use this inner elixir to commit evil, we will never sit idly by." His voice was filled with justice and courage. Although he was filled with fear, his conviction prevented him from retreating.
The woman sneered, her laughter like sharp icy spikes, piercing everyone's eardrums. "Just you? You think you can stop me from reviving the Wu Clan?" Her gaze swept over the crowd, filled with mockery and contempt.
At this time, the old man said: "Girl, the rise and fall of the witch clan is predetermined. Your persistence may not be a good thing." There was a hint of vicissitudes and helplessness in the old man's voice. He had experienced too many ups and downs and knew the impermanence of fate.
The woman's face darkened, her once beautiful features instantly becoming gloomy and terrifying. "Is this destiny? My Wu clan was once so glorious, yet now we've fallen to such ruin! I must change this!" Her voice was filled with anger and resentment, as if a thousand years of pent-up resentment had erupted within her.
With that, the woman emanated a powerful aura, a shimmering light. The light was as dazzling as lightning, instantly illuminating the entire hall. A powerful force impacted everything around her, causing stones to fall from the walls and the ground to tremble violently.
"Be careful!" the director shouted. He quickly cast a defensive spell, and a layer of light blue light enveloped everyone.
Lin Yu gripped his weapon tightly, the power in his body surging, ready for the upcoming battle. "Don't be afraid, everyone, let's go together!" He shouted loudly, trying to boost everyone's morale.
Suna gritted her teeth and cast her own spell. Although her power was relatively weak, her eyes were full of determination.
The old man clasped his hands together, muttered something, and a powerful energy surged from his body.
Everyone prepared for defense, and a fierce battle was about to break out.
The woman raised her hand and waved it, sending a powerful energy wave towards everyone. Wherever the energy wave reached, the air seemed to be burning, making a sizzling sound.
The director pushed his hands forward, trying to resist the energy wave. "Everyone, work together!" he shouted.
Everyone exerted their strength in unison, countering the woman's energy wave. For a moment, the hall was ablaze with light, and powerful forces collided with each other, emitting a deafening roar.
Lin Yu took the opportunity to rush towards the woman, the weapon in his hand making a sharp sound. The woman dodged his attack easily by moving sideways, and at the same time, she swung her hand back, and a force pushed Lin Yu back.
Suna continuously released spells to attack the woman from a distance, but the woman seemed to be prepared and easily avoided her attacks.
The old man seized the opportunity and cast a powerful sealing spell to try to restrict the woman's movements. The woman felt threatened and concentrated her strength to break the seal.
The battle became more and more intense, and everyone gradually felt exhausted, while the woman's attacks became more and more fierce.
"This is not a solution. We must find her weakness!" the director shouted.
Lin Yu was fending off the woman's attacks while observing her movements. Suddenly, he noticed that every time she launched a powerful attack, a rune on her head would flicker slightly.
"Attack the rune above her head!" Lin Yu shouted loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned their attacks towards the rune above the woman's head. The woman sensed their intentions and began to defend herself with all her might.
The director cast a powerful spell, transforming it into a beam of light that shot towards the rune above the woman's head. The woman struggled to resist, but under the combined attack of everyone, the rune finally cracked.
The woman let out a scream of pain, and her strength instantly weakened.
Everyone seized the opportunity and launched a final attack.
Finally, the woman fell to the ground and the light around her gradually disappeared.
"It's finally over..." Lin Yu collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
The director walked forward, looked at the unconscious woman, and fell into deep thought.
