Chapter 171 A Man Who Commits Many Evils
Immediately afterwards, countless dark figures emerged like ghosts. These figures quickly coalesced into hideous shadow puppets, baring their fangs and claws as they pounced towards Huan Yuechu.
Faced with this sudden attack, Huan Yuechu shifted her feet lightly, her figure flashing like lightning.
At the same time, she wielded her longsword with impenetrable speed, unleashing streaks of sword energy that clashed violently with the charging shadow puppets.
A series of crisp cracking sounds echoed through the sky. The seemingly powerful shadow puppets were no match for Huan Yuechu's sword and instantly turned into piles of fragments that dissipated into the air.
However, at that moment, the man in black robes seized the opportunity while Huan Yuechu was fully engaged in dealing with the shadow puppet.
Suddenly, he thrust both palms forward, and two jet-black beams of light shot towards Huan Yuechu like the spitting tongues of venomous snakes.
Because it happened so suddenly, Huan Yuechu was unable to dodge in time and her left arm was unfortunately struck by one of the beams of light.
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her, and blood gushed from the wound, but she gritted her teeth and endured the pain to prevent herself from collapsing.
Immediately afterwards, Huan Yuechu took a deep breath and poured the little spiritual power she had left into the ground.
In an instant, the ground began to tremble violently, and countless sharp spikes burst forth from the earth, hurtling towards the man in black robes with lightning speed.
Caught off guard, the man in black robes was firmly trapped by several spikes and found it difficult to break free for a time.
Seeing this, Huan Yuechu dared not slacken in the slightest. She concentrated all her energy and gathered the last bit of strength in her body into her palm.
A dazzling white light gradually appeared on her palm, like a blazing sun shining in the sky.
Without hesitation, she blasted the ball of white light, which contained terrifying energy, towards the man in black robes.
The man in black robes stared at the approaching white light, his face filled with terror.
He wanted to resist, but he was already in a difficult situation and had no power to make any effective defensive moves.
Finally, under the bombardment of that dazzling white light, the black-robed man screamed as his entire body was blasted away, crashing heavily to the ground, his fate unknown...
However, at that moment, her already exhausted strength could no longer support her heavy body.
With a thud, she fell heavily to one knee, panting heavily, large beads of sweat sliding down her cheeks.
The loud commotion did not escape the keen ears of the others, who were startled and immediately realized that something was wrong.
So they all rushed toward the direction from which the sound came as fast as they could.
The first to arrive was Mu Yang, who immediately saw Huan Yuechu kneeling on the ground, her face as pale as paper.
His heart tightened, and he quickly took out a bottle of precious healing pills from his pocket. He rushed to Huan Yuechu's side and said anxiously.
"This is a healing medicine, take it quickly! It will help you recover your strength and injuries quickly."
As he spoke, he quickly opened the bottle cap, poured out a pill that emitted a faint fragrance, and handed it to Huan Yuechu.
Huan Yuechu took the pill and swallowed it. She felt better after a while.
The crowd gathered around to check on the man in black robes. Just when everyone thought the danger was over, the man's body suddenly emitted a strange black light.
Then he slowly stood up, seemingly unharmed, and let out a burst of wild laughter.
"You think you can defeat me so easily? That was just my clone."
As everyone was astonished, the man in black robes formed a hand seal, and the surrounding darkness intensified. Huan Yuechu realized that the real crisis had only just begun.
She gripped her longsword tightly and said to her companions with unwavering determination, "Even if we have to fight with all our might today, we will never let him succeed."
Encouraged, everyone assumed fighting stances, ready to face the impending fierce battle.
The man in black robes sneered and muttered incantations. More shadow puppets emerged from the darkness, and these puppets were even larger and more ferocious than before.
Huan Yuechu and the others felt a chill run down their spines, but they showed no intention of backing down.
Huan Yuechu was the first to charge towards the enemy. She wielded her longsword, each strike carrying a resolute momentum, trying to break through the puppet group and find the black-robed man's weakness.
The companions also used their skills; Mu Yang used flames to burn the puppets that approached.
Su Jinyan then used ice shards to freeze the movements of some of the puppets.
However, the man in black robes was too powerful. With a wave of his hands, he created a dark barrier that blocked everyone's attacks.
Huan Yuechu seized the opportunity, forcibly boosting her spiritual power and leaping toward the black-robed man despite her injuries.
The man in black robes was taken aback by her desperate efforts and panicked for a moment.
Taking advantage of the situation, Huan Yuechu thrust her longsword into his shoulder. The man in black robes roared and retaliated, striking Huan Yuechu in the chest with a palm strike.
Huan Yuechu was sent flying backward, spitting out blood.
Just as the man in black robes was about to make another move, a golden light suddenly descended from the sky, and an old man's voice rang out: "You who have committed many evils, do not be arrogant."
It turned out that Grandpa Yun sensed the evil aura here and came to help.
The man in black robes' expression changed. Knowing he was no match for them, he turned and vanished into the darkness.
Huan Yuechu breathed a sigh of relief and fainted. Her companions rushed to take care of her injuries.
Huan Yuechu mumbled incoherently while unconscious, her brows furrowed as if she were trapped in a nightmare.
The companions stood by anxiously, but there was nothing they could do.
After a long while, Huan Yuechu finally woke up slowly.
She looked at the worried faces around her, forced a smile, and indicated that she was alright.
But then, the image of the little girl she had saved earlier flashed into her mind, and her heart tightened, causing her to blurt out.
"How is that little girl now?" The tone was full of concern and worry.
Seeing this, Mu Yang, who was standing to the side, quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, she's perfectly fine. Our sect leader saw that this young girl has great potential and took a liking to her, so he accepted her as his last disciple. In this way, it can be considered a blessing in disguise."
Hearing this, Huan Yuechu's anxious heart finally calmed down a little, and she murmured to herself.
"That's good. At least the rescue wasn't in vain."
Then, as if suddenly remembering something, she asked again, "By the way, how long have I been unconscious?"
Mu Yang quickly replied, "Don't worry, there's still plenty of time! The most important thing right now is for you to recover properly and get back to normal as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
He paused slightly at this point, seemingly reluctant to continue.
However, Huan Yuechu did not take Mu Yang's words too seriously.
She gritted her teeth and tried to sit up.
But just then, a sharp pain struck, and she involuntarily frowned and let out a soft groan.
