Before he finished speaking, a black sword suddenly appeared out of thin air in the hands of the black-robed man. The sword emitted a strange and cold light, as if it was condensed from endless darkness. He swung the sword violently and stabbed it towards Lin Yu fiercely. The speed was so fast that it was like a black lightning that instantly cut through the darkness. Lin Yu was startled and quickly raised his sword to block. There was a loud "clang" sound, like thunder exploding in his ears, and sparks flew everywhere. Lin Yu only felt a powerful force coming from the sword, shaking his arm and numb it. It was as if countless steel needles were shuttled between his bones. He couldn't help but be secretly surprised. The opponent's strength was unexpectedly strong.
Seeing this, Leng Xuan unleashed his Shadow Moon Blade without hesitation, attacking the black-robed man from the side with ghostly swiftness. The Shadow Moon Blade flashed with a strange light, creating a sharp gust of wind as it struck the black-robed man's vitals. The black-robed man seemed prepared, sensing Leng Xuan's attack. His body, like a puff of black smoke, dodged to the side, easily avoiding Leng Xuan's fierce blow. Meanwhile, Suna swiftly directed the Gu insects. Her hands danced rapidly in the air, muttering to herself, and the Gu insects, like a black cloud, flew towards the black-robed man with a humming sound of wings.
The black-robed figure seemed wary of the Gu worm. A slight smile of disdain etched on his lips, as he muttered something. Instantly, a puff of black smoke surged from him, like a black tide, blocking the Gu worm out. The Gu worm struggled within the smoke, emitting faint buzzing sounds, but was unable to break through the black barrier.
"This black-robed man is a bit tricky. Everyone, be careful and cooperate!" Lin Yu shouted, his voice tinged with anxiety. The three of them quickly adjusted their positions, forming a triangle, tightly surrounding the black-robed man in the middle. However, the black-robed man was not afraid at all. His figure was elusive in the darkness like a ghost, and he kept swinging his long sword. Black sword beams swiftly stabbed at Lin Yu and the other two. Each attack was powerful like a tidal wave, and the sword wind whistled, making it difficult for Lin Yu and the other two to resist.
During the fierce battle, Lin Yu keenly noticed that while the black-robed figure's attacks were fierce, they seemed to be deliberately avoiding their vital points. He couldn't help but wonder, "Why isn't he attacking with all his might? Is there some hidden agenda?" Just then, the black-robed figure suddenly feinted. With a flash of black, he leaped out of the encirclement of the three men. "Go away. I don't want to hurt you," the black-robed figure said. His voice was still deep and hoarse, but it was filled with a hint of fatigue and helplessness.
Lin Yu and the others were stunned. They looked at each other, completely confused about the black-robed man's intentions. "Who are you? Why are you stopping us from finding clues to the gemstone, and why did you suddenly stop?" Lin Yu asked with a puzzled look on his face, staring intently at the black-robed man, trying to find the answer from his face hidden in the shadows.
The black-robed man was silent for a moment, as if contemplating something. He then slowly spoke, "I am only guarding this place under orders. I do not wish to be your enemy. However, if you insist on searching for clues to the gemstone, you will only find yourself in an irretrievable situation. The secrets here are beyond your ability to bear right now."
"We are not afraid of danger. In order to stop the evil forces from reviving the ancient evil demon and save the people of the world, we must find the gem. This is our mission. No matter what the cost, we will not back down." Lin Yu said firmly, his eyes revealing a determination to face death, like a burning flame, illuminating this dark temple.
The black-robed man sighed softly, a sigh filled with helplessness and emotion, and said, "In that case, please follow me. There are some things you should know."
Where exactly is the black-robed man taking them? What important secrets will he reveal to them? What other terrifying dangers will they encounter in the temple? Everything is shrouded in a thick fog, filled with unknowns, waiting to be uncovered one by one. Lin Yu is filled with doubts, but for the clues to the gem and the mission he shoulders, he resolutely decides to follow the black-robed man to find out. Suna and Leng Xuan also exchanged glances, seeing determination and trust in each other's eyes, and then silently followed the black-robed man. They knew that the road ahead might be even more difficult and dangerous, like a wilderness full of thorns, but there was no turning back. They could only move forward bravely to uncover the truth behind this fog.
