Chapter 544 Shadow Beast

Lin Ze and the boy rested in the city for a few days. During this time, Lin Ze discovered that the boy had a unique spiritual power fluctuation, which seemed to hide some special abilities. One day, the two were discussing the way of cultivation. Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, a flash of lightning flashed, and then a huge shadow beast appeared out of thin air.

This beast exudes a dark aura and its eyes gleam with evil.

It turns out that the mysterious and powerful Shadow Beast is the real manipulator behind all the monsters! Previously, the fierce monster invasion was just a test carefully planned by it.

At this moment, after seeing Lin Ze and his group display their extraordinary strength, it could no longer hold back and decided to go out in person. Lin Ze tightly grasped the artifact emitting brilliant light in his hand, staring solemnly at the approaching shadow beast in front of him; while the young man beside him also had a serious expression, concentrating on adjusting his state, ready to face this thrilling life-and-death duel at any time.

Instantly, the tense atmosphere seemed to freeze, and the whole space was filled with suffocating pressure. Finally, with a roar from Lin Ze, he launched a fierce attack on the Shadow Beast like an arrow from a bow. The powerful force released by the artifact was like a dazzling lightning, bombarding the Shadow Beast directly. However, what was unexpected was that such a powerful attack was easily resisted by the Shadow Beast.

At the same time, while the shadow beast was fighting back against Lin Ze, the young man took decisive action, muttering something in his mouth, and quickly performed a series of complex spells. As the spells were completed, a series of colorful lights instantly intertwined into a huge light net, trapping the shadow beast firmly in it. But the shadow beast was obviously not an ordinary person. It suddenly struggled hard, and with a loud "bang", the seemingly indestructible light net was broken by it.

At this critical moment, Lin Ze suddenly felt a strange force surging in his body like a surging tide. He immediately realized that this might be the key to defeating the Shadow Beast. So, he followed the guidance of this force without hesitation, and cooperated tacitly with the boy beside him. The two worked together to perform their most powerful trick so far.

For a moment, the sky and the earth changed color, and the wind and clouds were turbulent. The incomparably powerful energy hit the shadow beast with overwhelming force. Faced with such a terrifying attack, even though the shadow beast was extremely powerful, it seemed a little powerless at this time. In the end, in a shocking explosion, the shadow beast was reduced to ashes and disappeared completely without a trace.

After this arduous and fierce battle, Lin Ze and the young man not only successfully defeated the powerful enemy, but also made their reputation spread far and wide. However, they knew that the victory in front of them was just the beginning, and there were countless unknown difficulties and obstacles waiting for them to conquer in the future. Therefore, after a short rest, they resolutely embarked on a long journey full of thorns and challenges again...

Lin Ze and the young man walked forward and came to an ancient ruin. The ruins were surrounded by mysterious mist and there were faint roars. The two looked at each other and stepped in carefully.

As soon as they stepped into the ancient and mysterious ruins, a stale and decayed smell hit them. Before they could recover, strange lights began to flash around them, and then various traps and mechanisms emerged like mushrooms after rain.

The ground suddenly cracked, and sharp spikes sprang out from the ground; huge rocks rolled down from above their heads, smashing towards them with the force of thunder. Fortunately, Lin Ze had an extremely sharp intuition, and dodged left and right like a ghost, avoiding these deadly attacks time and time again.

The young man closed his eyes tightly and concentrated on using his unique ability to sense the potential dangers around him. At this moment, a dull roar resounded throughout the ruins, and a huge stone statue several dozen feet tall slowly came to life. It held a giant battle axe in its hand, and every time it swung it brought with it a whistling sound of strong wind, as if it could tear the void apart.

Facing such a terrifying enemy, Lin Ze raised the mysterious artifact in his hand without hesitation and fought forward. With a loud clang, the artifact and the giant axe collided, and dazzling sparks burst out instantly. However, this powerful impact still shocked Lin Ze and made him retreat several steps, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the critical situation, the young man at the side did not dare to delay for a moment. He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. In an instant, a strange rune halo flew out from his palm and accurately covered the stone statue. As the runes continued to shine, the stone statue's movements gradually became slower, as if it was restrained by some powerful force.

Although they temporarily trapped the stone statue, they did not relax their vigilance. They continued to explore the depths of the ruins carefully. Gradually, some vague clues began to emerge, which seemed to point to the origin of this continent and the existence of some powerful force.

Just as they were full of joy and wanted to further uncover this mystery, suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps in front of them. In the blink of an eye, a group of mysterious people wearing black cloaks and their faces hidden in the shadows appeared in front of them. The man in the lead smiled coldly and mocked: "Humph, you two little guys think that no one will pay attention to you after killing the shadow beast? How naive! The secrets hidden in this relic are not something that small characters like you can easily get involved in."

Hearing this, Lin Ze tightly grasped the artifact in his hand, with a look of determination in his eyes. The young man beside him was also fearless and stood firmly beside him. The two stood side by side, staring firmly at the group of uninvited guests with ill intentions in front of them. A fierce battle was about to break out.

Lin Ze snorted coldly, "Now that we have come this far, we will not retreat." The young man also echoed: "No matter who you are, don't try to stop us."

The leader of the mysterious group laughed and said, "You don't know what life and death are." Then he waved his hand under the black robe, and everyone behind him drew their weapons.

Lin Ze and the boy looked at each other and rushed towards each other at the same time. Lin Ze used the light of the artifact to disrupt the enemy's vision, and the boy cast a spell to interfere with their actions. For a moment, light and shadow intertwined in the ruins, and shouts of killing resounded.

Lin Ze saw the right moment and rushed towards the leader, stabbing the opponent's throat with the magic weapon. However, the leader was not in a hurry, he dodged sideways and hit Lin Ze's chest with his backhand. Lin Ze was unable to dodge and was hit and took a few steps back.

Upon seeing this, the young man used all his ability and shot a beam of strong light towards the mysterious group of people.
