As Lin Yu and the others faced the mysterious guardian of the Spirit Valley, the atmosphere instantly grew tense. Lin Yu's heartbeat quickened involuntarily. He knew the old man before him was exceptionally powerful; the aura emanating from him was enough to prove he was no ordinary opponent. But Lin Yu had no intention of retreating. To complete the system mission, find the "Spirit Shadow Grass" to enhance the team's strength, and to ensure Xing Lan's successful system upgrade and continued presence, he had to muster the courage to fight. "No matter who you are, we must obtain the 'Spirit Shadow Grass' today," Lin Yu declared loudly, attempting to gain momentum while also encouraging himself and his companions.
Su Yao's palms were already covered in sweat. She bit her lip tightly, trying to calm herself. Looking at the old man in front of her, she felt a sense of powerlessness. After all, the previous battle had exhausted her both physically and mentally, and this guardian of the Spirit Valley seemed more powerful than any enemy she had encountered before. But she remembered her oath to protect everyone, so she secretly clenched her fists, and a determined light rekindled in her eyes. "I can't be afraid. I will fight to the end with everyone." Su Yao encouraged herself in her heart, while constantly adjusting the spiritual power in her body, ready to strengthen the defensive shield at any time.
A flicker of excitement flashed in Xiao Yi's eyes. Though his opponent was formidable, the belligerence in his bones was fully aroused. "Haha, another formidable foe has arrived! Perfect for testing the fruits of my recent training!" Xiao Yi laughed heartily, brandishing his weapon with a sharp, wind-breaking sound. He couldn't wait to test his prowess against the Spirit Valley Guardian, proving his ever-increasing strength and earning the highest honor for his team in this battle.
Lu Ming, on the other hand, appeared remarkably calm. He pushed his glasses up, his gaze sharp as a hawk as he carefully observed the Spirit Valley Guardian's every move, trying to identify his weaknesses. "The enemy's strength is unfathomable. We can't attack blindly; we must look for opportunities," Lu Ming muttered, rapidly formulating a response, calculating how to leverage the strengths of his team members and formulate the most effective tactics.
The guardian of the Spirit Valley is named "Cang Yan." He is from the Lingying Clan, a mysterious and powerful tribe that once ruled the forest, dedicated to protecting the rare spiritual herbs. However, over time, the Lingying Clan's power gradually declined, and now only a handful of members remain. As the Lingying Clan's most powerful guardian, Cang Yan has always shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting the "Spirit Shadow Grass."
Cang Yan looked at Lin Yu and the others with a sneer of disdain on his face. "Just a few of you little guys, you think you can take the 'Spirit Shadow Grass' from me? It's simply wishful thinking." His voice was low and powerful, as if carrying an unquestionable majesty. In his view, Lin Yu and the others were just a bunch of ignorant young men who didn't have the strength to compete with him.
"Then let's see who's the winner!" Lin Yu shouted, and was the first to unleash the "Five-Colored Illusionary Art." The five-colored light merged with the power of the earth element, forming a solid earth wall. He pushed towards Cang Yan, trying to restrict his movements. Cang Yan snorted coldly, and with a light wave of his hands, an invisible force shattered the earth wall, scattering debris everywhere.
Seeing this, Su Yao immediately raised a defensive shield, protecting Lin Yu and the others. Cang Yan's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was a little surprised by Su Yao's defensive shield, but he quickly reacted, forming seals with his hands and muttering something. In an instant, black runes flew out from his hands and shot towards the defensive shield. Under the attack of the runes, the defensive shield flickered and began to crack.
"Oh no, his attack is so powerful that my shield can't hold on any longer!" Su Yao shouted anxiously. She increased her spiritual power output and tried to repair the cracks in the shield, but the effect was not obvious.
Seeing this, Xiao Yi roared, wielding his weapon and charging forward, aiming for Cang Yan's head. Cang Yan dodged Xiao Yi's attack with a flick of his leg, then thrust his hand towards Xiao Yi's chest. Xiao Yi felt a powerful force surge against him, unable to resist. He was sent flying, landing heavily on the ground.
"Xiao Yi!" Lin Yu and Su Yao shouted at the same time, their hearts filled with worry. Lu Ming took the opportunity to set up a formation on the side, trying to disrupt Cang Yan's actions. His hands gestured quickly in the air, and mysterious runes flashed with light, gradually forming a complex formation.
Cang Yan noticed Lu Ming's movements. He turned to look at him, his lips curled up slightly in a mocking smile. He stomped his foot lightly, and the ground suddenly shook, instantly destroying the formation Lu Ming had set up. "A mere trifle," Cang Yan said with disdain.
Lin Yu was extremely anxious. He knew that this was not a solution and he had to come up with an effective countermeasure. At this moment, Xing Lan's voice rang in his mind: "Lin Yu, I feel that although Cang Yan's power is strong, his energy output is not stable and seems to be restricted in some way. You can try to find the gap in his energy fluctuations and launch an attack."
Lin Yu was delighted and quickly concentrated, carefully observing Cang Yan's energy fluctuations. As expected, he found that after Cang Yan launched a powerful attack, there would be a brief gap in energy fluctuations. "Everyone listen, there is a gap after his attack, let's seize the opportunity to attack!" Lin Yu shouted loudly.
Just as Cang Yan launched another attack, attempting to break Su Yao's defensive shield, Lin Yu seized the opportunity when his energy fluctuated and unleashed the most powerful attack of the "Five-Colored Phantom Spirit Technique." The five-colored light merged with the power of various elements, forming a brilliant energy beam that shot towards Cang Yan. Xiao Yi also quickly climbed from the ground and rushed forward, brandishing his weapon. Lu Ming rearranged the formation, attempting to trap Cang Yan.
