Chapter 100 Obtaining the Spirit Orb
Upon hearing this, Xu Yan frowned slightly, turned to look at Huan Yuechu, and solemnly replied in a deep voice.
"Boss lady, if I'm not up to the task, you can always step in later. Let me test my abilities first!" With that, he took a deep breath, composed himself, and prepared for the upcoming challenge.
The man nodded slightly, his eyes holding a hint of scrutiny.
"Kid, you'd better get ready. First move—Rending Wind Palm!"
The man waved his hand, and a powerful gust of air, like a sharp blade, rushed towards Xu Yan.
Xu Yan hurriedly dodged to the side, but was still scratched on the arm by the edge of the airflow.
He gritted his teeth and steadied himself.
"Second move, Phantom Strike!" As soon as the man finished speaking, countless beams of light shot towards Xu Yan like sharp spikes.
Xu Yan activated the crystal ball, quickly forming hand seals to create a weak shield in front of her.
The light and shadow struck the shield, producing a series of booming sounds. Xu Yan felt her strength rapidly depleting, but she managed to hold on.
The man's lips curled slightly upward, a faint look of approval appearing on his cold and stern face. He said in a deep voice, "The final move, the Force of a Thousand Pounds!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stomped his foot, and the ground beneath his feet seemed to tremble.
In an instant, an overwhelming force, like a wild horse unleashed, surged forth from the ground and hurtled straight toward Xu Yan, who was not far away.
Faced with this sudden and terrifying attack, Xu Yan felt her breath catch in her throat, as if a towering mountain was crushing down on her with the force of Mount Tai pressing down on an egg.
Before that immense and unparalleled power even reached him, the mere pressure it brought caused his legs to tremble involuntarily, and his knees to gradually bend.
Just as she was about to be completely crushed to the ground by this enormous force, a thought suddenly flashed through Xu Yan's mind—that crucial spiritual pearl, to save Huan Yuechu!
Instantly, a strong desire to win burned in his heart like a raging fire.
"Ah!" With a roar, Xu Yan's eyes widened, her muscles tensed, and all the power hidden within her body erupted without reservation.
He gritted his teeth, braced himself firmly on the ground with both hands, and with his tenacious willpower and astonishing explosive force, he withstood this incredibly powerful blow.
Upon seeing this, the man burst into laughter, "Not bad, such perseverance at such a young age. Very well, you can have this spirit pearl then."
Then, the man opened a hidden door, and a spirit pearl emitting a strong light came into view.
Xu Yan took the spirit pearl and looked at her companions, weak but excited.
The three gathered around, their faces filled with joy at having obtained the spirit pearl.
However, at this critical moment, the space that was originally as calm as still water suddenly began to twist violently without warning!
The twisting motion was like a surging wave in a gale, leaving people speechless.
Immediately afterwards, a sinister and terrifying voice, as if from the deepest hell, suddenly rang out, "Hmph, you think you can take the Spirit Pearl so easily? You're just dreaming!"
The voice, like a ghost, echoed in the air, sending chills down one's spine.
As the words fell, a figure draped in a black robe slowly emerged from the darkness.
The black-robed figure was tall and slender, shrouded in a jet-black robe from head to toe, obscuring his face and true form.
But one could sense a powerful and evil aura emanating from him.
It seems this person had been lurking here for a long time, watching everything from the shadows.
He clearly harbored ulterior motives, attempting to take advantage of the chaos and reap the benefits.
Faced with this uninvited guest, the man frowned slightly, a hint of contempt flashing in his eyes. He said in a deep voice, "Oh! You're hiding your face like this, committing such an unjust act. Do you intend to openly steal the Spirit Pearl?"
The man in black robes sneered, "This treasure should have belonged to me. What if I take it?" With that, he attacked Xu Yan, trying to snatch the spirit pearl.
Xu Yan's face was as pale as paper, and his body was swaying precariously. Clearly, he had not yet fully recovered from the intense battle.
Faced with this sudden and dangerous situation, he had no power to resist whatsoever.
Just at this critical moment, a figure rushed over like lightning and instantly blocked Xu Yan's path.
She fearlessly faced the menacing man in black robes, and the two instantly engaged in a thrilling and intense battle!
The figure was none other than Huan Yuechu.
A gleaming dagger appeared in her hand at some unknown time, each swing accompanied by a sharp whistling sound.
The black-robed man's attacks were extremely ruthless, but Huan Yuechu moved lightly and nimbly, skillfully dodging each attack and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
Enraged, the man in black robes waved his hands, and a group of black shadow creatures surged out from the surrounding area, baring their fangs and claws as they charged towards Huan Yuechu.
Huan Yuechu formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A mysterious rune appeared behind her, emitting beams of light that temporarily blocked the shadow creature.
Seeing that Huan Yuechu was having some trouble, the man finally offered to help.
He flashed behind the man in black robes and struck out with his palm.
The man in black robes noticed the attack from behind and turned around to defend himself.
Huan Yuechu seized the opportunity and used a dagger to slash the sleeve of the man in black robes. The man in black robes was in pain and revealed a weakness.
The man seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, engaging in a fierce battle with the man in black robes.
Both the man and the man in black robes displayed extremely fierce and ruthless moves, each one containing boundless power.
In an instant, the surrounding soil and rocks were shaken by the force of their attack, and dust filled the air, making it almost impossible to see the battle.
However, the man was ultimately more skilled, and after a fierce struggle, he keenly spotted a flaw in the black-robed man's moves.
In the blink of an eye, he flashed forward like a ghost, his hand flashing with cold light as he attacked the black-robed man's vital points.
A scream rang out as the man in black robes was caught off guard and struck, blood splattering everywhere.
He was seriously injured and dared not linger any longer. He turned around and fled in a sorry state into the distance.
Seeing that the man in black had already fled, the man took a deep look at his retreating figure.
He then turned around and spoke in a deep voice to Xu Yan and the others who were still in shock behind him.
"This place is no place to linger. The fighting just now has probably attracted the attention of others. You should quickly take the Spirit Pearl and leave to avoid any further complications!"
Xu Yan nodded gratefully, and the three of them hurriedly left with the spirit pearl, disappearing into the distance.
After arriving at a safe location, Xu Yan handed the Spirit Pearl to Huan Yuechu.
Under the unwavering gaze of Xu Yan and Wen Xingyu, Huan Yuechu swallowed the spirit pearl that emitted a mysterious light without hesitation.
In an instant, her delicate body was enveloped in a soft yet dazzling golden light!
The light was as warm and pleasant as the spring sun, and as dazzling as the stars on a summer night.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment, both of them holding their breath, anxiously waiting for what would happen next.
