Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 316 Lin Cheng

Seeing the black shadow being broken up again by the attack of lightning and spiritual power, and showing no signs of reorganization, Shen Yun's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, and he stared at the gradually dissipating black shadow with a look of vigilance and scrutiny.

The black shadow was now like a dark cloud swept by a strong wind, shattered. The black mist was floating everywhere, as if it had lost all its power. Shen Yun narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing every subtle change, until he confirmed that the black shadow had no signs of reorganization.

Shen Yun nodded with satisfaction: Just as I expected, this black shadow exudes a dark aura from beginning to end, and the power of thunder and lightning is exactly the nemesis of this dark power.

"Brother Yun, how are you?" Lin Ruyi saw this and hurried forward to ask with concern. Her eyes were full of worry, and she looked at Shen Yun carefully, fearing that he had been injured in the fierce battle with the black shadow just now.

Shen Yun looked at Lin Ruyi's concerned expression and felt warm in his heart. He replied with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm fine. Although this black shadow came from a strange place, it poses no threat to me." His tone was relaxed and confident, as if the fierce battle just now was just a small challenge.

Lin Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, but the worry in her eyes had not completely dissipated. She knew that in this mysterious ruins, danger could come again at any time. "Brother Yun, you must be careful." She said softly.

The two exchanged a few words, and at this moment, several screams from the Lin family members were heard one after another. The screams sounded particularly shrill in the silent ruins, making people shudder. Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi's faces instantly became solemn.

"Not good, those Lin family members must be in danger again." Lin Ruyi said anxiously. She tightly grasped the long sword in her hand, her eyes full of worry and anxiety.

Shen Yun's eyes also became sharp. He knew that they could not waste any more time.

"Let's go and take a look." He said decisively, and then he flashed and ran in the direction of the sound. Lin Ruyi followed him without hesitation, and the two of them quickly shuttled through the ruins, their hearts filled with worry for the children of the Lin family and vigilance against unknown dangers.

Lin Cheng stared at the black shadow in front of him, his eyes full of vigilance and determination. The black shadow was looming in the dim light, as if it was an evil ghost crawling out of the underworld, emitting a gloomy and terrifying aura.

The shadow's figure was erratic, sometimes condensing into a vague human figure, and sometimes dispersing into a black mist. Its movements were strange and fast, making it difficult to grasp. Lin Cheng tightly grasped the sword in his hand, and his knuckles turned slightly white due to the force. He knew that the shadow in front of him was not an ordinary thing.

The black shadow's fighting power was not very strong. With Lin Cheng's sixth-level foundation-building cultivation, he had successfully killed the black shadow in front of him three times. Every time he killed, Lin Cheng used all his strength. His swordsmanship was sharp and decisive. Every sword carried a powerful spiritual power and slashed at the black shadow fiercely. Under his attack, the black shadow was broken up again and again, but it was re-condensed again and again.

Lin Cheng was breathing heavily, his chest rising and falling violently. Drops of sweat flowed down his forehead and dripped onto the ground, telling us that his physical strength had reached its limit. His arms trembled slightly, and the long sword in his hand seemed to become extremely heavy. But he did not dare to relax at all, because he knew that as soon as he relaxed, the black shadow would attack again.

"What on earth is this black shadow?" Lin Cheng thought to himself. He had never seen such a strange creature before. It seemed to be immortal. No matter how he attacked, he could not completely destroy it. Lin Cheng felt powerless and desperate. He didn't know how long he could hold on.

The air around them seemed to freeze, filled with a tense atmosphere. Lin Cheng and the shadow were facing each other, neither of them dared to act first. They were both waiting for the other to reveal a flaw, and then give a fatal blow.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in the silent space, even the air seemed to become heavy. The long confrontation did not relieve Lin Cheng's physical strength. On the contrary, the continuous tension was like an invisible shackle, constantly consuming his energy.

Lin Cheng's breathing became heavier, and every breath he took was like pulling a bellows with great effort. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which slowly slid down his cheeks, gathered into drops at his chin, and then fell heavily to the ground. His eyes were bloodshot, staring at the black shadow in front of him, not daring to relax at all. However, his mind continued to be highly concentrated, and his whole body was tense, which led to further consumption of physical strength.

Lin Cheng felt his right foot go numb, which was caused by maintaining the same position for a long time. The numbness slowly spread from the sole of his foot, making him feel uncomfortable. But he didn't dare to move at all, for fear that a tiny movement would break his fragile balance and attract the black shadow's fatal attack.

He glanced at a corpse lying not far away. It was Lin Xiuli, his teammate in the exploration. After smashing the shadow for the first time, he was careless and was killed by the shadow. Now, Lin Xiuli lay there quietly, with only a cold body left. There was still a horrified expression on his face, as if telling of the despair at that moment. Lin Cheng's heart was filled with grief and anger, and he secretly vowed to avenge Lin Xiuli.

The corpse seemed to remind Lin Cheng of the cruelty and danger of this battle. He knew that he could not fail, otherwise he would be like Lin Xiuli, forever staying in this cold ruins.

Lin Cheng gritted his teeth and clenched the long sword in his hand again. The hilt in his hand seemed to be his last resort. His eyes revealed determination and perseverance, ready to face the next attack of the shadow. He knew that this was a life-and-death battle, and there was no way out.

Various thoughts kept emerging in his mind, and he was filled with resentment. If no miracle happened, Lin Xiuli's fate would be his own, but he really didn't want to die. He was still young, and if he didn't die at the age of thirty, he would still have a certain chance to reach the Golden Core Realm in this life.

"Golden Core Realm, if I can..." Lin Cheng's thoughts involuntarily drifted to that unattainable yet tempting realm. In that realm, he would have great power, could dominate his own destiny, and no longer fear any danger. He seemed to see himself standing at the peak of the Golden Core Realm, overlooking all living beings, his heart filled with lofty sentiments and ambitions.

However, at this moment, Lin Cheng suddenly shuddered. Damn it, he was distracted. He immediately came to his senses, full of regret. At this critical moment, distraction is undoubtedly extremely dangerous.
