Chapter 724: Fighting against the evil forces
However, just when everyone thought that everything was settled, the fallen black shadow turned into a wisp of black smoke and penetrated into Lin Ze's body.
Lin Ze felt a sharp pain, and his spiritual power was in disorder. Xuan Feng was horrified and hurried to protect Lin Ze.
However, since then, Lin Ze often felt that there was an evil force stirring in his body. This force was like a trapped beast, constantly struggling to break free.
As time went by, this evil force became stronger and stronger, and Lin Ze's consciousness was gradually eroded and became blurred.
Xuan Feng noticed something was wrong with Lin Ze, and he searched everywhere for a solution, but he found nothing. He read through countless ancient books and consulted many senior masters, but he could not find a way to expel this evil force.
One day, Lin Ze's consciousness suddenly fell into a chaotic state, and he completely lost control of his body. His hands swung out uncontrollably, hitting Xuan Feng directly. Xuan Feng was shocked when he saw this, as he never expected Lin Ze to suddenly attack him.
Xuan Feng quickly dodged sideways, but Lin Ze's attack followed him like a shadow, not giving Xuan Feng a chance to breathe. Xuan Feng had no choice but to keep dodging, not daring to fight back, for fear of hurting Lin Ze.
Seeing Lin Ze's attacks becoming more and more fierce, Xuan Feng became more and more anxious. Just when Lin Ze was about to lose control and do something irreversible, a flash of clarity suddenly flashed through his mind.
That was his original intention to protect the world, and the belief he had always upheld. This ray of clarity was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, illuminating Lin Ze's chaotic consciousness.
Lin Ze gritted his teeth and used all his strength to fight a desperate battle with the evil power in his body. Every time he fought, he felt heart-wrenching pain, but he never thought of giving up.
Finally, after countless battles, Lin Ze's will was like an indestructible fortress, bursting out with powerful strength. He roared and forced the evil power out of his body.
As the evil power left his body, Lin Ze's body seemed to have all its strength drained away, and he fell limply to the ground.
Xuanfeng hurried forward to support him, his eyes full of concern and worry.
Just when Xuan Feng was about to check Lin Ze's injuries, the evil force that was forced out turned into a hideous ghost face, laughing shrilly: "Do you think you can destroy me like this? Too naive!"
After saying that, the ghost face quickly split into countless tiny black rays of light and flew away in all directions.
Xuan Feng realized that these black rays might bring new disasters, so he acted decisively and said to Lin Ze, "Lin Ze, you should take a good rest first. I will track these black rays and prevent them from harming the world."
Although Lin Ze was weak, he still forced himself to nod and said, "Xuanfeng, be careful. I will come to meet you as soon as I recover."
Xuanfeng patted Lin Ze's shoulder and turned into a stream of light and chased after him.
Lin Ze looked at the direction where Xuanfeng left, took a deep breath, sat down cross-legged and began to regulate the disordered spiritual power in his body.
He knew that the battle against the forces of evil was far from over, and the next challenges might be even more difficult.
Lin Ze used all his strength to circulate his spiritual energy to repair the damaged meridians. As time passed, his face gradually regained some redness.
Just when he felt that he had almost recovered, he suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching him.
After a while, a man in black robe appeared in front of him. He exuded an aura similar to that of the evil power. The man in black robe sneered and said, "Boy, do you think you will be fine after forcing out that power? Those black rays are just bait. The real killer move is coming now."
Lin Ze clenched his fists, endured the discomfort in his body, stood up, and looked at the man in black robe with a firm gaze.
He knew that this would be another tough battle.
Just as the man in black robe was about to attack, a ray of light flashed, and Xuanfeng turned back in advance.
Xuan Feng panted heavily, with a look of anxiety on his face: "Those black lights were a cover. I chased them for a while and then I realized something was wrong, so I quickly came back."
Lin Ze was delighted. With Xuanfeng around, his chances of winning increased.
When the black-robed man saw Xuanfeng turning back, he snorted coldly: "You've come at the right time, let's die together!" After that, the black-robed man waved his hands, and countless black sword qi shot towards the two of them.
Xuan Feng and Lin Ze quickly dodged to the side and avoided the attack of the black-robed man in an instant. At the same time, they cast their respective spells without hesitation, and saw sword lights and dazzling spell lights interweaving and colliding in the air, making bursts of loud noises.
The battle was extremely fierce. The black-robed man was obviously very powerful. Although Xuanfeng and Lin Ze joined forces to deal with him, they could only barely resist his attack.
Just as the man in black robe was about to launch a fatal attack, Lin Ze suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and remembered that there was still a trace of the evil power in his body. He gritted his teeth and decided to take a risk, guide this breath out, and merge it with his spiritual power.
As Lin Ze urged, the breath quickly merged with his spiritual power, bursting out a strange and powerful force. Lin Ze took advantage of the situation and used a spell he had never used before, and saw a black light shooting straight at the black-robed man like lightning.
The man in black robe obviously did not expect Lin Ze to have such a trick. He was caught off guard and was suppressed by the black light, unable to escape for a while.
Seeing this, Xuan Feng immediately seized the opportunity and cooperated with Lin Ze tacitly to increase the intensity of the attack. The two of them attacked from the left and right, and their attack was as fierce as a storm, not giving the black-robed man any chance to breathe.
Under the combined attack of Xuanfeng and Linze, the man in black robe finally couldn't hold on and was beaten back. Finally, he let out an unwilling roar, and his body suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of black smoke, which slowly dissipated into the air.
Lin Ze and Xuan Feng looked at each other, and saw a trace of fatigue and relief in each other's eyes. They knew that although this battle was difficult, they finally succeeded in defeating the man in black robes.
However, just when they thought the danger was over, the black smoke did not completely dissipate, but condensed into a smaller black shadow and fled into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
Xuan Feng frowned and said, "We can't let it run away, otherwise there will be endless troubles." Although Lin Ze had not fully recovered, he nodded firmly and said, "Let's go and keep chasing."
The two men were as fast as lightning, chasing after the black shadow. The black shadow was extremely fast, like a ghost, moving freely in the mountains and forests. However, Xuanfeng and Linze's skills were no less impressive. They followed the black shadow like a shadow, always keeping a certain distance from it.
Just as they were about to catch up with the shadow, it seemed to sense their pursuit, and suddenly, like a frightened rabbit, it plunged into an ancient and mysterious valley. The valley was shrouded in a thick layer of fog, looking eerie and spooky. Strange noises could be heard from time to time in the valley, as if countless ghosts were wandering around.
Xuanfeng and Linze looked at each other, and saw a trace of solemnity in each other's eyes. They stepped into the valley carefully, their steps as light as a cat, for fear of waking up something terrible.
Suddenly, the fog around began to roll, as if something was stirring inside.
