The frail counselor you said, you fight against three heroes alone?

"Xiaohong, you are so amazing!" Mr. Xing excitedly held Xiaohong's hand.

Xiaohong smiled and said, "We are a team and we need to help each other."

Looking at Xiaohong's determined eyes, everyone's hearts were filled with hope and morale was boosted.

However, just as everyone was celebrating their victory, a cold voice came from a distance: "It seems that I underestimated you."

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a mysterious man in black clothes and a hat slowly walking towards them.

He exuded a powerful aura, like a Shura from hell, which made people shudder.

"Who are you?" Captain Lei shouted sternly.

The man in black sneered and slowly took off his hat, revealing a handsome but sinister face.

"I am the mastermind you have been looking for."

The man in white hugged Xiaohong tightly, and Xiaohong buried her head in the man's arms, crying silently.

Everyone around them can feel the deep warmth between them.

Ms. Mo and Captain Lei smiled at each other, with deep friendship revealed in their eyes.

After going through this life-and-death test, the bond between them became deeper and stronger.

"Prepare to die!" Leader Lei roared and rushed towards the man in black, waving a huge axe.

The man in black dodged Leader Lei's attack with ease, a sneer of disdain on his face.

He stretched out his right hand, and a powerful force instantly knocked Master Lei away.

“You don’t know your own limitations.” The man in black snorted coldly, his figure floating around like a ghost, and no one could track him down.

Every time he attacked, he was filled with murderous intent, and everyone gradually felt powerless.

"Is this all you have got?" The man in black laughed arrogantly, as if he was sure of victory.

"Ah!" A scream cut through the night sky...

The figure of the man in black was as fast as a ghost, and every attack was carried with fierce murderous intent. The air seemed to be filled with the breath of death.

Captain Lei swung his giant axe, but couldn't even touch the corner of his clothes. He could only watch as the black-clothed man's palm wind swept over him again and again, shaking his blood.

Ms. Mo's whip danced like a snake, but she could only barely block it and could not fight back effectively.

The man in white was protecting Xiaohong tightly, his face was pale and his brows were furrowed. He could feel the person in his arms trembling slightly, and he became even more anxious.

Master Xing hid behind the crowd, his legs trembling constantly.
The battle lasted for a long time, and everyone's physical strength gradually declined, and they had many scars on their bodies.

Captain Lei was breathing heavily, his chest heaving violently, and the hand holding the giant axe began to tremble slightly.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Ms. Mo's forehead. She clenched her teeth and tried hard not to fall down.

The man in white felt that Xiaohong's body was getting colder and colder, and he became extremely anxious.

The feeling of despair was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping everyone.

"I think we should just give up. If we continue like this, we'll all die here!" Captain Lei's voice was filled with a hint of despair. He looked around and saw how exhausted everyone looked. He couldn't help but want to retreat.

"No! We have come this far, how can we give up so easily?!" Ms. Mo immediately retorted. She hated evil and would never bow to evil forces.

"But if we don't leave now, we will die! As long as we have the green mountains, we will have firewood to burn!" Captain Lei was also a little anxious. He felt that saving his life was the most important thing, and treasures were all meaningless.

The quarrel between the two sides became louder and louder, and everyone's face was filled with fatigue and unwillingness.

There was a depressing and tense atmosphere in the air, like the calm before the storm.

Xiaohong tightly grasped the corner of the white-clothed man's clothes.
"Everyone, stop arguing!" Master Xing suddenly shouted loudly. Although his voice was a little trembling, it was full of determination. "We can't give up! We have already paid so much, are we going to let those conspirators succeed? We must persevere, we will definitely find a way!"

The quarrel among the crowd gradually subsided, and everyone's attention was focused on Master Xing.

Master Xing took a deep breath and his eyes became firm.

At this moment, the man in black suddenly let out a sinister laugh. The laugh seemed to come from the depths of hell, making people shudder.

He slowly raised his hand, and an even more powerful force gathered in his palm.

"It seems that your civil strife is over." His voice was full of mockery, as if he was looking at a group of ignorant ants.

The black energy ball condensed in the black-clothed man's palm made a sharp buzzing sound, and the surrounding air seemed to be distorted.

He hurled the energy ball at everyone at a speed too fast to be captured by the naked eye.

Master Lei was the first to be hit. He barely blocked the blow with his giant axe, but was knocked back and spurted out blood.

Ms. Mo's whip was also hit by the energy ball, making a crisp sound, and the whip broke. She staggered back, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

Master Xing was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground, trembling.

Xiaohong screamed and tried to rush forward, but was held tightly by the man in white.

"Don't go!" the man in white growled, his voice full of anxiety and worry.

The aftermath of the energy ball swept across, leaving a deep wound on Xiaohong's left arm, and the blood instantly dyed her clothes red.

"Xiaohong!" the man in white exclaimed. He hugged Xiaohong tightly. Xiaohong bit her lip, endured the pain, and shook her head to indicate that she was fine.

However, her pale face and trembling body exposed her weakness at the moment.

The man in black let out a sinister laugh, and his figure disappeared into the darkness again, like a cheetah waiting for its opportunity.

Everyone stood back to back, looking around vigilantly. The air was filled with the smell of death.

"We can't go on like this!" Lady Mo wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of determination, "We must find a way to defeat him!"

"That's right!" Captain Lei struggled to stand up, his eyes full of fighting spirit, "Even if I die, I will drag him down with me!"

Although Master Xing was afraid, seeing everyone so determined, he plucked up his courage and nodded.

"Xiaohong, how are you?" the man in white asked with concern.

"I'm fine." Xiaohong forced a smile and tried to comfort the man in white.

"Is everyone ready?" The man in white took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with determination.

"Ready!" everyone responded in unison.

The man in black appeared again, with even more powerful energy concentrated in his hands.

This time, he seemed to be planning to get rid of everyone in one go.

"Die!" The man in black roared, and the energy ball in his hand turned into a black lightning, rushing towards everyone.

Although Ms. Mo's whip was broken, she still rushed forward without fear. The broken whip in her hand turned into a series of afterimages, trying to block the black lightning.

Master Lei also swung his giant axe, using all his strength to chop at the black lightning.

However, the power of the men in black was too strong, and their attacks were simply unable to stop the black lightning.

Seeing that the black lightning was about to hit everyone, the man in white suddenly pushed Xiaohong away, and then...

"No!" Xiaohong's heart-wrenching cry echoed in the valley.

…Then he opened his arms and used his body to block everyone.

The black lightning struck the man in white, and the intense energy instantly engulfed him.

Xiaohong watched the man in white being struck by black lightning. Her heart seemed to be torn apart and she let out a heart-wrenching cry.

Just then, a miracle happened.

The man in white who was swallowed by the black lightning suddenly emitted a dazzling light from his body.

The ancient power contained in the treasure merged with the man in white at this moment.

The wounds on his body healed instantly and his strength increased unprecedentedly.

A powerful energy wave spread out from the man in white, pushing the man in black back several steps.

"How...how is this possible?!" The man in black looked at the man in white in disbelief.
The man in white slowly opened his eyes, with golden light flashing in his eyes, as if he was a god descending from heaven.

He slowly raised his hand, and a powerful force gathered in his palm, turning into a golden beam of light and shooting towards the man in black.

The man in black was unable to dodge and was hit by the golden beam of light. He let out a scream, and his body flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground and losing consciousness.

Everyone stared at the scene in amazement, unable to believe their eyes.

The man in white actually integrated the power of the treasure and defeated the powerful man in black!
Xiaohong excitedly threw herself into the arms of the man in white, her eyes blurred with tears.

"I'm so glad you're okay!"

The man in white hugged Xiaohong tightly, feeling her body temperature, his heart filled with happiness and joy.

"I'm fine. I promised you that I would protect you." Captain Lei and Ms. Mo hugged each other excitedly, celebrating this hard-earned victory.

Master Xing also got up from the ground with a happy smile on his face.

Everyone gained the resources of the men in black and their strength was further enhanced.

They sat together, sharing the joy of victory, and their feelings for each other deepened.

The man in white and Xiaohong embraced each other affectionately, and the people around them blessed them one after another. The air was filled with the sweetness of love.

Miss Mo and Captain Lei patted each other on the shoulders, and their heroic laughter echoed in the valley, showing their deep friendship.

With powerful strength and firm belief, everyone officially embarked on the journey of saving the world.

Their figures are full of hope, as if they can change the whole world.

The world seemed to have new life before them and showed a bright future.

"Let's go!" the man in white shouted loudly.

Everyone responded and followed the man in white, embarking on a new journey...

What kind of challenges are waiting for them ahead?
They faced the rising sun and embarked on a new journey.

The world before them seemed brand new, full of vitality and vigor.

Birds are singing happily on the branches, and the breeze is blowing, bringing bursts of flower fragrance.

Xiaohong gently held the arm of the man in white, with a happy smile on her face.

"Look, the flowers over there are so beautiful!" She pointed to a field of blooming wild flowers in the distance, her eyes sparkling.

The man in white looked at her tenderly and nodded gently, "Yes, as beautiful as you are."

Ms. Mo and Captain Lei walked side by side, laughing from time to time and talking about future plans.

"Once we complete the mission, we will find a place to live in seclusion and live a carefree life!" said Captain Lei proudly.

Ms. Mo smiled and patted his shoulder, "Okay, then we'll drink and eat meat together, wouldn't that be great!" Young Master Xing followed them closely. Although he was a little timid, a smile appeared on his face, and his heart was full of longing for the future.

However, in this relaxed and happy atmosphere, a cloud of dust suddenly rose on the distant horizon, like a giant yellow dragon, rapidly approaching them.

"What is that?" Master Xing pointed into the distance, his voice trembling slightly.

Everyone stopped and looked in the direction of his finger, only to see a group of figures vaguely appearing in the dust, approaching them quickly.

In a blink of an eye, this group of people came in front of them, each of them looked ferocious and held swords in their hands, and surrounded them.

"I opened this mountain and planted these trees. If you want to pass through here, you have to leave some money for passage!" The leader, a burly man with a face full of flesh, shouted loudly. He was the notorious Black Wind Bandits.

"Black Wind Bandit!" Captain Lei's face darkened. Young Master Xing turned pale with fright and hid behind Captain Lei.

"What...what do you want to do?" he asked tremblingly.

"What? Of course we're robbing you!" The leader of the Black Wind Bandits said with a fierce smile, "If you know what's good for you, hand over all your valuables. Otherwise..." He waved the big knife in his hand.

"Don't even think about it!" Lady Mo drew her sword and pointed it at the leader of the Black Wind Bandits. "How dare you rob people in broad daylight? You are so audacious!"

Lei Duzhu also stood up, blocking the crowd and shouting: "You bunch of scoundrels, I advise you to get out of here quickly, otherwise don't blame us for being rude!"

The leader of the Black Wind Bandits laughed loudly, "Hahaha, you're welcome? Just a few of you?" He waved his hand, "Brothers, come on!"

In a flash, the man in white suddenly protected Xiao Hong behind him, unsheathed his sword, and a cold light flashed...

The Black Wind Bandits rushed forward, and the flashes of swords and sabers came like dense raindrops.

The man in white swung his sword, and the sword energy was like a rainbow, forcing back the approaching enemies one by one.

Master Lei wielded his two hammers with great force. Each blow was so powerful that the ground was covered with flying dust.

Ms. Mo is agile and nimble with her sword. She moves among the enemies like a dragon. Wherever the sword goes, screams are heard.

Master Xing hid behind the crowd, trembling and shouting in fear from time to time.

However, the Black Wind Bandits were too numerous to count, and the protagonists gradually felt overwhelmed.

A Black Wind Bandit took advantage of Ms. Mo's unpreparedness and slashed her arm with a knife, and the blood instantly dyed her clothes red.

"Ah!" Ms. Mo screamed in pain, staggering back while covering her wound.

When everyone saw this, their hearts tightened and their worries were evident on their faces.

The battle became more intense, and the clanging of swords echoed throughout the valley.

Xiaohong hid behind the man in white, her heart in her throat, and watched the battle nervously.

Suddenly, a stone flew and hit Xiaohong on the head. Her carefully combed hair was instantly scattered and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

When the man in white saw this scene, his eyes instantly turned cold and a cold murderous aura emanated from him.

He roared, and the sword in his hand burst into dazzling light, forcing back the surrounding enemies.

Then he leaped forward and went straight for the leader of the Black Wind Bandits.

The leader of the Black Wind Bandits laughed grimly and rushed forward, waving his sword.

The two men fought back and forth, with swords flashing and shadows intertwined, and the battle was extremely fierce.

Everyone around couldn't help but hold their breath and nervously watched this life-and-death duel.

Although the man in white is highly skilled in martial arts, the leader of the Black Wind Bandits is not an easy opponent.

His attacks became more and more fierce and deadly, and the man in white gradually felt a little tired.

Upon seeing this, Captain Lei wanted to step forward to help, but he was entangled by other Black Wind Bandits and could not escape at all.

"Brothers in white, be careful!" Captain Lei shouted anxiously.

The leader of the Black Wind Bandits grinned and raised his sword, ready to deal a fatal blow to the man in white.

"Prepare to die!" he shouted, pointing the blade directly at the throat of the man in white.

At the critical moment, Xiaohong suddenly widened her eyes and murmured to herself: "Wait... I remember..." Xiaohong pushed Ms. Mo away, rushed to the man in white, and took out a crystal clear jade pendant from her arms.

"Bai Yi, this! I almost forgot about it!" After getting the jade pendant, the man in white felt a warm current flowing into his body. The pain from the wound disappeared instantly, and was replaced by abundant strength.

His eyes flashed, and he swung his sword with his backhand. The sword energy swept out like a hurricane, and the leader of the Black Wind Bandits was pushed back several steps.

"What's going on?!" The leader of the Black Wind Bandits looked at the man in white in horror, unable to believe it.

The man in white, who was at a disadvantage just now, suddenly burst out with such powerful strength.

Everyone was also stunned. The two hammers in the hands of Captain Lei stopped in mid-air. Miss Mo, who was covering her wound with her hands, forgot the pain. Master Xing opened his mouth wide and couldn't speak for a long time.

The man in white took advantage of the victory and pursued the enemy. The long sword in his hand turned into a series of afterimages, and the sword energy was overwhelming and invincible.

The Black Wind Bandits were unable to resist at all and fell to the ground screaming.

The leader of the Black Wind Bandits was frightened when he saw the situation was not good, and turned around and tried to escape.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" The man in white snorted coldly, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the leader of the Black Wind Bandits and pierced his chest with a sword.

The Black Wind Bandits leader's eyes widened, blood gushed out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground with a bang.

The rest of the Black Wind Bandits were so frightened upon seeing this that they dropped their weapons and weapons and fled in all directions.

"We won! We won!" Master Xing jumped up excitedly and hugged Master Lei tightly.

"Brother Lei, we won!"

Captain Lei laughed and patted Master Xing on the shoulder.

"Good boy, you did well this time!"

Lady Mo walked over to the man in white and patted his shoulder. "Bai Yi, are you okay?"

The man in white shook his head and looked at Xiaohong tenderly. "I'm fine, thanks to you."

Xiaohong threw herself into the arms of the man in white and hugged him tightly. "I'm glad you're okay. I was scared to death."

The man in white gently stroked Xiaohong's hair and said softly, "It's okay. It's all over."

Everyone cleaned up the battlefield and continued to move forward.

Their confidence is stronger and their steps are more powerful.

A mysterious valley appeared in front of us. The valley was filled with a strange atmosphere that made people shudder.

"This place... feels a little off..." Master Xing swallowed, his voice trembling slightly.

The man in white narrowed his eyes, looked ahead, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go in and take a look." (End of this chapter)
