Chapter 196 Black Robe Conspiracy, Dangers Surround
The cold light of the sharp blade reflected on Bi Yao's face, and the shadow of death enveloped her and Li Yuan.
At the critical moment, Bi Yao threw the jade pendant in her hand into the air. At the same time, a powerful spiritual power burst out from her body, pushing the black-robed man who bound them back several steps.
"You want to steal the holy object? Dream on!" Bi Yao shouted, his eyes as sharp as a knife.
While the man in black robe was still unstable, she pulled Li Yuan up, and the two of them retreated quickly, putting some distance between themselves and the man in black robe.
Li Yuan covered his chest, breathing rapidly, his face as pale as paper.
The attack from the man in black robe just now obviously injured him seriously.
"Yao'er, his target is the holy object. Take the holy object and leave quickly! I'll stop him!"
Bi Yao held Li Yuan's hand tightly, her eyes determined: "If you want to leave, we leave together. If you want to stay, we stay together!"
The two men stood back to back, watching the man in black robe vigilantly.
Inside the library, book pages were flying, scrolls were falling, and the place was in a mess.
The man in black robe slowly stood up, his eyes flashing with a cold light under the black hood.
"You are overestimating yourself!" The man in black robe snorted coldly and launched another attack.
The black spiritual power surged towards Bi Yao and Li Yuan like a tide, bringing with it a suffocating feeling of oppression.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan were defending against the attacks of the man in black robes while thinking about his conspiracy.
What is the purpose of seizing the holy relics?
Is it just for power, or is there something else going on?
What is the identity of the man in black robe?
This series of questions lingered in the minds of the two people and could not be shaken off.
"His spiritual power is so strange, he is definitely not an ordinary cultivator." Bi Yao said in a low voice.
Li Yuan nodded in agreement.
"Furthermore, he seems to be particularly obsessed with holy objects. There must be some secret behind this."
The attacks of the man in black robe became more and more fierce, and Bi Yao and Li Yuan gradually became exhausted.
The wounds on their bodies were increasing in number, and the pain and fatigue made their movements slow.
The air around them seemed to freeze, and an oppressive atmosphere enveloped them.
"What...exactly does he want to do..." Li Yuan said panting, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
Bi Yao's gaze fell on the man in black robe, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Maybe...we can ask him..."
"Stop!" Bi Yao's clear voice rang out in the library, carrying a hint of unquestionable majesty.
She attempted to engage the black-robed figure in conversation, her sharp gaze fixed on the dark shadow. "Why are you so obsessed with the relic? Tell me, and perhaps we can discuss this."
However, the only response she received was an even more violent attack from the man in black robes.
The black spiritual power brought with it a fishy wind, coiling around like countless poisonous snakes, and the air was filled with a disgusting smell of decay.
The man in black robe had no intention of stopping. He seemed completely immersed in the desire to plunder, and every attack was carried with the murderous intent of killing people.
Bi Yao frowned. She could feel the madness and stubbornness emanating from the man in black robe. This was not an opponent she could communicate with at all.
She and Li Yuan struggled to resist the attacks of the man in black robes. The crisp sound of the sharp blades colliding, the shock of the collision of spiritual power, and the rapid breathing of the two people intertwined together, which was terrifying.
Sweat soaked their clothes, the wounds on their bodies were burning with pain, and the loss of physical strength made them feel deeply powerless.
"His attacks are disorganized, relying solely on brute force." Li Yuan quickly analyzed the situation while dodging the black-robed man's attacks. "Although he's powerful, he seems... lacking in technique." A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, as if catching the first light of dawn in the darkness. "Yao'er, his defense on the right is a little weak. Let's attack there together!"
Bi Yao understood what he meant. She stopped talking and gathered the spiritual power in her hands into a dazzling light.
She moved her body in a flash, coordinating with Li Yuan's movements, and the two of them simultaneously attacked the right side of the man in black robe.
Li Yuan's sword light was like a gust of wind and rain, carrying a sharp sword energy, fiercely stabbing towards the black-robed man's open door.
Bi Yao's spiritual power was like an airtight net, completely blocking the black-robed man's retreat.
The man in black robe was caught off guard and was hit flat-footed by the coordinated attack of the two people. A crack appeared on the black spiritual shield.
He groaned, his body swayed slightly, and his breathing became disordered.
"Well done!" The immortal cultivators who were hiding in the dark and watching the battle cheered when they saw this scene. They were encouraged by the wonderful cooperation between Bi Yao and Li Yuan, and were also excited for the start of the counterattack.
The originally depressing atmosphere was slightly eased by Li Yuan and Bi Yao's counterattack.
Bi Yao looked at the man in black robes and wiped the sweat from her forehead. Suddenly, she noticed an extremely tiny golden pattern on the corner of his black robe. She was about to ask, but saw Li Yuan's face change slightly. He reached out and grasped her wrist, saying in a deep voice, "Be careful..."
Bi Yao looked at Li Yuan gratefully. The worry and determination in his eyes warmed her heart.
Li Yuan held her hand tightly with his backhand, and the warmth and strength of his palm passed to her, as if silently saying "Don't be afraid, I am here."
On this dangerous battlefield, the feelings between the two grew stronger, and a warm current flowed between them, dispelling the coldness and fear around them.
However, the man in black robe did not retreat because of the temporary defeat, but instead stimulated his more powerful strength.
He let out a piercing scream, and black spiritual power gushed out of his body like rolling thick ink, instantly enveloping the entire library.
The darkness surged like a tide, swallowing up all the light around them. Bi Yao and Li Yuan only felt that everything in front of them was pitch black, and they couldn't see their hands in front of them.
"Be careful!" Li Yuan shouted and protected Bi Yao behind him.
In the darkness, they lost their vision and could only rely on hearing and touch to sense the dangers around them.
The whistling wind, the sound of sharp blades cutting through the air, the explosion of spiritual power collision, all kinds of sounds mixed together, making people feel upset.
They seemed to be in a huge black vortex, being ruthlessly torn apart by the power of darkness.
The black-robed man's attack became even more frantic, coming from all directions with a violent force capable of destroying everything.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan could only defend themselves instinctively. They stood back to back, protecting each other and resisting this invisible attack.
Every collision caused them to feel a sharp pain, as if their bodies were being torn apart.
At this critical moment, Bi Yao suddenly felt something strange.
Under the cover of darkness, the holy object in her body vibrated slightly, and a strange energy emanated from the holy object, resonating with the dark forces around it.
Bi Yao tried hard to open his eyes wide, trying to see the scene clearly in the darkness.
She vaguely saw that in the center of the dark power, there seemed to be some flickering symbols, which were extremely similar to the symbols on the holy objects.
"Li Yuan, look..." Bi Yao grabbed Li Yuan's hand and pointed to the center of the darkness.
Li Yuan looked in the direction of Bi Yao's finger, but saw nothing.
"Nothing?"
"The holy object... is connected to this dark power..." Bi Yao said intermittently, his tone full of shock and confusion.
At this moment, the man in black robe let out a sinister laugh and slowly walked out of the darkness. His voice was like a demon from hell, creepy.
"You... finally discovered it..." He stretched out his hand, and the black spiritual energy gathered in his palm to form a black vortex, "Then... let's feel the darkness swallowing us together!"
