Chapter 239
Gu Shihan's heart tightened, and her eyes instantly became extremely sharp. She shouted loudly: "Everyone be careful, judging from this guy's momentum, he is definitely not a character that you can easily mess with!"
Before he finished speaking, everyone present was on high alert, and they all performed their best spells. For a moment, colorful lights intertwined and bombarded directly towards the mysterious black shadow.
However, what no one expected was that the black shadow easily resolved all these fierce attacks with just a slight wave of his sleeves.
Not only that, it launched a ferocious counterattack with lightning speed, and a powerful dark aura surged out and swept towards everyone.
At this critical moment, Gu Shihan suddenly had an idea in her mind, and she immediately summoned the Jade Ruyi. The Jade Ruyi flashed and floated in the air. The light emitted by the Jade Ruyi shot straight at the black shadow like a sharp arrow.
The moment the black shadow came into contact with the light emitted by Yu Ruyi, a scream of pain suddenly rang out.
The black shadow obviously had not expected that the jade ruyi actually possessed such terrifying power. Under the shining light, its body began to tremble violently.
Shi Qinghan and the others naturally would not miss this excellent opportunity to attack. They mobilized all their magic power and launched a new round of attacks on the black shadow.
At this time, the black shadow seemed to be somewhat overwhelmed by the suppression of the magic weapon of light. Facing the attack of the crowd, it could no longer resist and was defeated.
Finally, accompanied by a dull thud, the black shadow fell to the ground, no longer able to attack.
Just when everyone thought the battle was over, a thick black fog suddenly rose up around the black shadow, and in the blink of an eye it transformed into a giant crow, spreading its wings in an attempt to escape.
"Hmph! Don't even think about escaping!" Gu Shihan shouted tenderly, and quickly raised her right hand. A ball of burning red lotus fire instantly appeared on her palm.
As she waved her arm, the red lotus fire was like a blooming fire lotus, tightly biting the black shadow that was trying to escape.
All that was heard was a series of extremely shrill screams that resounded through the sky. After the red lotus fire gradually died down, peace returned to the surroundings.
"Junior sister, in my opinion, black shadows like this are probably not only found here! And judging from the fight just now, their strength should not be underestimated!" Mo Yu frowned and said worriedly.
Shi Qinghan nodded and said, "That's for sure. The Heart of the World has been corroded for a long time. There must be a lot of black threads that have been released. If we want to restore clarity to the First Heaven, it seems that our task is not easy!"
Gu Shihan narrowed her eyes slightly and fell into deep thought. After a moment, she said with a firm gaze: "In my opinion, the only way now is to work in groups. This will expand the scope of the search and increase the chances of finding clues to the dark forces."
As soon as this was said, everyone present nodded in agreement with this plan. Then, they quickly split into two groups and each set out on the journey to find the traces of the dark power.
Gu Shihan's group consists of Wen Xin, Gu Jiahui and Nangong Yi; while the other group includes Duan Siqi, Mo Jian, Mo Yu, Shi Qinghan and Situ Tinglang.
Gu Shihan and his four companions walked cautiously through a barren land. Looking up, there was no grass growing here. The land was extremely dry and had cracks all over it, as if it had been abandoned by the heavens. In the center of this dead scene, there stood a pitch-black altar.
On this mysterious altar, there was a bead quietly shining with a faint black light. The bead was like a bottomless black hole, greedily devouring the surrounding dark aura and continuously releasing frightening evil fluctuations.
Seeing this scene, Gu Shihan's heart tightened and he was about to step forward to investigate carefully.
At this moment, something unexpected happened! Suddenly, there was a loud noise all around, and in the blink of an eye, a group of figures in black robes emerged like ghosts.
The black-robed man at the head was tall, and his face hidden under the black hood was eerie and terrifying, like an evil ghost crawling out of the abyss of hell.
The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing a creepy sneer, as if he was full of disdain and ridicule for everything in front of him.
He sneered in a bone-chilling voice that sounded like it came from the underworld: "Humph! You ants who don't know your own limitations dare to try to stop the great resurrection plan of the Lord? You are just daydreaming!"
Facing the sarcasm and ridicule from the man in black robe, Gu Shihan showed no fear. Her beautiful eyes were wide open, her eyebrows were raised, her body was straight, and she exuded a firm and fearless aura.
With cold eyes, she responded forcefully, "No matter who is behind this, as long as they dare to endanger the peace and tranquility of this world, we will never let them go easily!"
Before he finished speaking, the two sides were on the verge of a fierce battle.
The magic of the men in black robes was extremely strange. They cast out dark rays of light that intertwined into an impenetrable net, trapping Gu Shihan and the others tightly inside.
For a moment, all kinds of strange energies collided with each other, bursting out dazzling sparks and deafening noises. However, despite the strength of Gu Shihan and others, under the tight defense of the black-robed man, they still found it difficult to break through the opponent's defense line, let alone get close to the mysterious altar.
Just when everyone was in a stalemate, Gu Shihan suddenly came up with an idea. She pretended to be defeated by her opponent, retreated repeatedly, and looked panicked.
Seeing this, the men in black robes thought they had an opportunity and started chasing after her, shouting.
At this moment, Wen Xin, who had been waiting for an opportunity, seized the moment and decisively led other companions to take advantage of the opportunity and rush straight to the altar.
Seeing that the black-robed man had fallen into the trap, Gu Shihan immediately stopped moving, turned around and launched a fierce counterattack. She swung the long sword in her hand, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, sweeping in like a dragon out of the sea, instantly trapping the black-robed man who was chasing her in the middle.
At the same time, Wen Xin had successfully reached the altar and destroyed the bead emitting an evil aura on it without hesitation.
As the beads exploded, a powerful dark aura suddenly backfired. Those originally arrogant and domineering men in black robes were immediately knocked to the ground by this force, screaming in pain.
Gu Shihan and others seized this excellent opportunity to pursue the victory. They each displayed their magical powers and cooperated tacitly, and soon completely wiped out the group of black-robed men.
