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

"Don't even think about it!"

At the same time, the mysterious man who had been silent also moved.

He flashed and appeared behind the devil like a ghost. A dagger appeared in his hand and he stabbed the devil in the back.

The demon's defense was amazing; the dagger only penetrated a small part and could no longer move forward.

However, this angered the demon. It let out an earth-shaking roar, turned around suddenly, and slapped Mysterio with one claw.

Mysterio had anticipated this and dodged the demon's attack.

The man in white seized this opportunity and swung his sword at the demon again.

The two joined forces and launched a fierce fight with the devil.

However, the devil's power was too strong. The man in white continued to suffer new wounds and his clothes were stained with blood.

The battle atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.

Ms. Mo and Xiao Hong also joined the battle, but were both repelled by the demon's counterattack.

The demon's attacks became more and more fierce, and everyone gradually felt powerless.

At this moment, Xiaohong's eyes suddenly became blurred, and a strange smile appeared on her face...

"White clothes...I..."

At the critical moment, a red light flashed in Xiaohong's eyes, and a strange power surged out of her body and gathered on the sword of the man in white.

At the same time, Miss Mo's long whip, Master Lei's giant axe, and even the dagger that Master Xing raised tremblingly, all emitted rays of light, gathering into a powerful energy and injecting it into the body of the man in white.

The man in white felt an unprecedented power filling his body. He roared, and the sword in his hand burst into dazzling light, and he slashed at the devil.

The sword light cut through the darkness like a bolt of lightning, striking the demon's chest fiercely.

The demon let out a shrill scream, and its huge body trembled violently, with black energy rolling like boiling water.

From the wounds on its body, golden light spread like a maggot on its tarsal bones, constantly eroding its strength.

The devil's scarlet eyes gradually dimmed, and he roared unwillingly: "No... Impossible... How could I lose to..."

The roar stopped abruptly, and the demon's body collapsed, turning into a pile of black ashes that drifted away with the wind.

The darkness on the altar also dissipated, and light once again enveloped the space.

The man in white and Xiaohong hugged each other excitedly, their eyes filled with joy of surviving the disaster.

Miss Mo and Captain Lei supported each other and laughed out loud.

Master Xing was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes. He had never thought that he would be able to participate in such a great battle.

Everyone left the castle that was about to collapse, carrying the treasures and power they obtained from the castle.

However, not long after they left, the ground in the distance began to shake, and a huge crack appeared on the horizon...

"What is that?" The man in white pointed into the distance, his tone full of shock.

The earth shook violently, as if a giant beast was rolling underground.

The loud noise of the castle collapsing was still echoing in my ears, but new disasters were coming one after another.

In the distance, a hideous crack tore through the horizon and spread rapidly like a black lightning.

"It's an earthquake!" Master Xing exclaimed, his face pale.

He staggered and nearly fell, but fortunately he was caught by the quick-eyed and quick-handed Miss Mo.

The man in white held Xiaohong tightly, his eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to find a safe shelter.

Rubble rolled down the mountain with a loud rumbling sound, and dust flew everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.

The air was filled with a pungent earthy smell, making it difficult to breathe.

Lei Duzhu steadied himself and shouted, "Everyone be careful! Find cover!"

Everyone was panicked and looked for shelter everywhere.

The ground was still shaking violently and the trees were swaying as if they would fall down at any moment.

Landslides and mud and rocks rushed down with a deafening roar.

"This way!" The man in white found a huge protruding rock and quickly called everyone over.

They supported each other and stumbled to the back of the boulder, clinging to the stone wall and feeling the shaking of the earth.

"This...what is going on?" Master Xing's voice trembled as he tightly grasped Miss Mo's arm.

Ms. Mo patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, everything will be fine." But she herself was not sure. This sudden earthquake put them in an extremely dangerous situation.

The ground finally stopped shaking and the dust gradually dissipated.

The survivors were still in shock and gasping for breath.

Suddenly, a group of figures emerged from the ground, led by a tall old man with white hair and beard. He held a strange staff in his hand and stared at everyone with sharp eyes.

Behind him, there were dozens of tribesmen dressed in the same strange clothes. They were dark-skinned and thin.

"Who are you? Why are you disturbing the peace of our people?" The old man spoke in a low voice with a hint of majesty.

"We are..." Captain Lei was about to explain but was interrupted by the old man.

"Shut up! You outsiders have destroyed our homeland, your crime is unforgivable!" The old man shouted angrily and swung the staff in his hand violently.

The Earth Spirits drew their weapons one after another, their expressions angry, and the tense atmosphere erupted in an instant.

Lei Duzhu quickly explained: "Elder, we didn't mean to disturb you. We are also victims of the earthquake!"

However, the Earth Spirit Tribe elder did not believe his explanation at all. He snorted coldly: "Quibbling! It was you who caused the earthquake! You treasure thieves, don't even think about escaping!"

The Earth Spirit Clan elder's staff shone brightly, and sharp earth spikes rose from the ground, shooting towards the crowd like dormant poisonous snakes.

Caught off guard, Ms. Mo was unable to dodge and her thigh was scratched by the earth spikes, and the blood instantly dyed her clothes red.

"Ah!" Miss Mo screamed in pain and staggered back.

Everyone's heart tightened, and their worry was evident on their faces.

At the same time, the ground under Master Xing's feet suddenly collapsed. He screamed and fell into a pit. The surrounding earth walls rose up quickly, trapping him inside.

"Master Xing!" Xiaohong screamed and looked at the pit anxiously, her eyes full of worry.

Seeing this, the man in white didn't think much and stepped forward to stand in front of everyone.

"Direct your hatred at me!" he shouted sternly, unsheathing the sword in his hand with a cold light.

The Earth Spirit Tribe elders saw that the man in white had extraordinary skills. The man in white dodged left and right and was in danger all the time, but he still could not break through the blockade of the earth wall.

The elder's attacks became more and more fierce. The man in white gradually felt powerless and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"Let me lend you a hand!" Seeing this, Mysterio wanted to help, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.

This is the Earth Spirit Tribe's defensive formation, and outsiders cannot easily enter.

The mysterious man frowned, Xiaohong tightly grasped the arm of Master Lei, her knuckles turned white, and watched the battle nervously, silently praying for the safety of the man in white.

"Damn it..." The man in white cursed in a low voice. He felt his strength rapidly draining away, while the Earth Spirit elder's offensive showed no signs of weakening.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed, as if he had discovered something...

"and many more!"

The figure of the man in white shuttled between the earth walls like a ghost. Every time he seemed to dodge in a clumsy manner, he was actually carefully observing the attack pattern of the Earth Spirit Tribe elder.

He discovered that every time the elder swung his staff, the ridges of the ground changed in subtle rhythms, and the attacks of earth spikes and gravel were not random, but followed a certain trajectory.

When another wave of rubble came like a rainstorm, the man in white no longer chose to dodge, but leaped suddenly to the left, avoiding the head-on impact while stepping accurately on the edge of a newly risen earth wall.

He used the force to leap into the air, like an eagle spreading its wings, and instantly leaped in front of the elder.

长老

The elder hastily retracted his staff to block, but with a crisp "clang" sound, the staff was shaken off course.

The man in white took advantage of the victory and pursued the elder, his sword flashing like a streak of silk, and every move hit the elder's vital points.

The elder retreated again and again, and the speed of swinging the staff in his hand slowed down significantly, and his momentum was not as strong as before. Suddenly, the man in white swept his sword and hit the elder's chest. The elder groaned, stepped back a few steps, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Elder!" The people of the Earth Spirit Clan exclaimed and gathered around, their faces filled with shock and worry.

The fierce hostility in their eyes also eased slightly, replaced by a hint of awe.

Seeing this, Lei Duzhu laughed out loud, "Good! Good job!" He helped Lady Mo up and asked with concern, "Lady Mo, are you okay?"

Lady Mo snorted lightly, her eyes full of approval, "This guy is quite capable!"

Master Xing climbed out of the pit, his face covered in dirt. He looked at the man in white.
The man in white slowly walked up to Xiaohong, held her hand tightly, gave her a reassuring look, and Xiaohong responded with a gentle smile.

They don't need to say much, their love for each other is more than words can express.

Miss Mo and Captain Lei looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing more.

The Earth Spirit elder struggled to stand firm. He looked deeply at the man in white and said, "You... are indeed very strong!" There was a hint of helplessness in his low voice.

"Well, since you have no intention of becoming enemies, follow us into the tribe's territory to rest and heal your wounds."

Everyone followed the Earth Spirits into their territory.

This is a huge space located underground. The surrounding stone walls are carved with ancient murals, exuding a mysterious luster.

However, just as everyone was marveling at the Earth Spirits' superb skills, an unsettling atmosphere quietly spread.

Ms. Mo frowned, she felt there was a faint evil force surging in the air.

"Something is not right here..." The man in white suddenly spoke in a low voice. He looked deeply into the depths of the stone wall, as if there was some secret hidden there.

The flickering torches illuminated the holy land of the Earth Spirits and cast dancing light and shadows in the underground space.

The ancient murals seem to come alive under the flickering light, telling stories of forgotten history.

The air was filled with the scent of damp earth, mixed with an indescribable ancient flavor, which made the newly arrived protagonists breathe more lightly.

"These runes... are so strange." Xiaohong gently stroked the strange symbols carved on the stone wall, and felt a cool touch at her fingertips.

The runes have smooth lines, but they contain a mysterious power that makes people want to find out more.

"Be careful, there's something weird going on here." The man in white looked around, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, taking in everything around him.

In the holy place, huge stone pillars support the dome, and various strange creatures are carved on the pillars. They are lifelike, as if they will jump down from the pillars at any time.

Captain Lei said in a muffled voice: "This place is eerie. I feel like there is something hidden in the dark." He subconsciously touched the sword at his waist, and a sense of vigilance arose in his heart.

Master Xing shrank his neck, followed closely behind Lady Mo, and whispered, "Lady Mo, I... I'm a little scared."

Lady Mo patted his shoulder heroically, "What are you afraid of! With us here, you don't have to be afraid of any monsters or demons!"

At this moment, a cold laugh broke the tranquility of the holy land.

"Hehehe...How dare you, stupid humans, break into the holy land!"

A dark figure slowly walked out from the shadow of the stone wall. He was wearing a black robe and a strange mask on his face, revealing only a pair of evil eyes.

"Shadow Messenger!" The face of the Earth Spirit Clan elder changed drastically and he roared, "How dare you show up again!"

The Shadow Messenger smiled evilly, his eyes swept across the crowd, finally stopping on the man in white, "I heard that you are very powerful? I want to see what you can do!" His tone was full of provocation.

The Earth Spirit elder stood in front of everyone, the staff in his hand glowing, "Shadow Messenger, don't even think about running wild here!"

The Shadowbringer snorted disdainfully, "Old man, do you think you can still stop me?" He slowly raised his hands, and a black mist gushed out from his palms...

The black fog rolled and swept towards everyone like poisonous snakes.

A pungent fishy smell filled the air, making people feel sick.

The visibility dropped sharply, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. Only the faint flickering ghost-like lights in the fog were creepy.

"Everyone be careful!" the man in white reminded loudly, waving the sword in his hand, sword energy running wild, trying to disperse the black fog.

However, the black fog seemed to have life, nimbly dodging the sword attacks and constantly eroding everyone's vision.

Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard.

In the mist, Ms. Mo staggered, covered her arm and took a few steps back.

"Damn it!" She growled with gritted teeth. A wound deep enough to see the bone suddenly appeared on her arm. Black blood kept flowing, emitting a disturbing smell.

"Ms. Mo!" Master Xing exclaimed and hurried forward to support her.

The Shadow Messenger's sinister laughter sounded again: "Hehehe... In the darkness, you are so vulnerable!"

Xiaohong suddenly felt dizzy, as if her body was hollowed out, and she collapsed to the ground powerlessly.

"I...what's wrong with me..." she whispered weakly, her face as pale as paper.

Seeing Xiaohong's painful appearance, the man in white was furious and his eyes turned red.

"You dare to hurt her!" He roared, and his figure rushed towards the Shadow Messenger like lightning.

The Earth Spirit elder also waved his staff, muttering something, and rays of ochre light shot towards the Shadow Messenger.

The Shadow Messenger had a ghostly figure, dodging attacks nimbly and sending out black energy balls to counterattack from time to time.

The man in white joined forces with the elders and launched a fierce battle with the Shadowbringer.

Sweat beads appeared on the white-clothed man's forehead, and his sword moves became more and more fierce, with each sword move accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air.

Captain Lei and Master Xing also joined the battle. They brandished their weapons and fended off the occasional sneak attacks from the Shadow Messenger.

The surrounding Earth Spirits watched the battle nervously, not daring to make a sound.

At this moment, the man in white accidentally glanced at the runes on the stone wall, and his heart moved...

"and many more……"

The man in white stared at the runes on the stone wall with a sharp gaze, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

He suddenly realized that these runes were not just decorations, but contained powerful power!
He took a deep breath and poured his true energy into the sword. The sword emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire holy land.

He muttered to himself, and ancient spells slowly came out of his mouth, resonating with the runes in the holy land.

The rune seemed to be activated, emitting dazzling light. A powerful force surged out from the stone wall and gathered on the sword in the hand of the man in white.

The man in white raised his sword high, pointed it at the Shadowbringer, and shouted, "Break!"

A beam of golden light shot out from the tip of the sword and hit the Shadowbringer like a bolt of lightning.

The Shadow Messenger screamed as his body was blown away by the powerful force and hit the stone wall heavily. The black mist dissipated instantly.

He struggled to get up.

"The Shadow Messenger has escaped!" Leader Lei shouted excitedly. Everyone cheered and their morale was boosted.

The eyes of the Earth Spirit elder flashed with excitement. He walked up to the man in white and bowed deeply. "Thank you for your help, young man. You saved our Earth Spirit!"

The man in white gently hugged the pale Xiaohong and comforted her softly, "It's okay, don't be afraid." Xiaohong nodded gently and snuggled in his arms.

Lady Mo walked up to Captain Lei in a heroic manner and patted him on the shoulder. "Well done, Captain Lei!" Captain Lei grinned and said, "We are all brothers, it's the right thing to do!"

Young Master Xing was communicating excitedly with the young people of the Earth Spirit Tribe, with a smile on his face, and his fear had long disappeared.

After a careful search in the holy land, they finally found a passage on a stone tablet, which contained the key clue to fighting against the evil forces: the core of the holy land sealed a more powerful evil.

Everyone followed the clues and came to the depths of the holy land, where they saw a huge stone gate standing before them. It was engraved with ancient runes and radiated powerful energy fluctuations.

The stone door was tightly closed, and a powerful ban sealed the entrance, making it daunting.

The man in white reached out to touch the stone door and felt a strong resistance, frowning.

"It seems that the real challenge has just begun..."

A huge stone gate stands deep in the holy land, engraved with intricate runes and flickering with a faint light, as if it contains an ancient and mysterious power.

The power of the ban spread like ripples, and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

The man in white, Xiaohong, Ms. Mo, Captain Lei, Young Master Xing and the mysterious man, a group of six people stood in front of the stone gate with solemn expressions. Their eyes were fixed on those mysterious runes, trying to find clues to break the ban.

The man in white frowned, stretched out his fingers and gently touched the stone door, and felt a piercing chill at his fingertips. (End of this chapter)
