Chapter 277 Sudden Changes, Deeply Enveloped in Mystery
In the valley, a fierce wind howled, and dark clouds rolled like ink, pressing the already gloomy sky even lower. The black-robed figure slowly emerged from the darkness, each step seeming to weigh heavily on everyone's hearts. He was surrounded by a dark aura even more eerie than the shadows themselves, as if evil were overflowing from an endless abyss.
Huanmo was startled and instinctively stopped in his tracks. "Who is this person? Why does he possess such powerful and bizarre dark energy?" He gripped the divine weapon tightly in his hand, staring warily at the man in black robes. The weapon trembled slightly, as if it too sensed the unknown and powerful threat before it.
Ling'er's eyes widened, fear engulfing her like a tidal wave. "Brother Huanmo..." Her voice trembled violently, her small hands clutching Huanmo's clothes tightly, as if only in this way could she grasp a sliver of security.
Wanru gritted her teeth, a resolute glint in her eyes. "Whoever he is, we will never let him succeed!" However, a hidden worry lingered in her heart. With the shadowy figure still unresolved, the appearance of such a powerful and mysterious person made the situation even more dire.
The woman in white and the guardian exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a resolute determination to die for their cause. Despite facing such a powerful enemy, they would never back down.
The man in black robes let out a chilling laugh. He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping coldly over the crowd. "A bunch of insolent ants, daring to stop me from reshaping the dark order."
Huanmo glared at the man in black robes and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you releasing this dark power and harming the world?" The man in black robes snorted disdainfully and said, "Who I am is not important. What is important is that this world is already corrupt, and only darkness can bring about true change."
The old man frowned, a flicker of realization crossing his eyes. "You... could you be a descendant of the one who betrayed the Light faction back then?" The man in black robes was slightly taken aback, then sneered, "I didn't expect anyone to still remember that past. That's right, my ancestor chose the path of darkness in pursuit of true power, and I will complete his unfinished work."
Huanmo felt a surge of anger. "To satisfy your and your ancestors' selfish desires, are you willing to plunge countless people into suffering and disaster? You are utterly insane!" The man in black robes, however, was unconvinced. "In my view, this is merely a necessary price to pay on the path to greatness."
The man in black robes stopped wasting words with the group. With a wave of his hand, a black energy wave swept towards them like a raging tsunami. Huanmo and the others hurriedly cast spells to defend themselves, but the dark power was too strong, and they were instantly forced back several steps.
Huanmo steadied himself, roared, and unleashed the full power of the divine artifact, sending a dazzling beam of light towards the black-robed man. The black-robed man simply raised his hand and easily deflected the attack. "Is this all the skill you have? You dare to contend with me?" he sneered.
At the same time, the dark figure seemed to sense the black-robed man's power and moved closer to him. The dark powers of the two resonated with each other, becoming even stronger.
Ling'er was frantic. She desperately tried to decipher the runes on the scroll, attempting to find a way to subdue the black-robed man. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and a mysterious light shot out from the scroll, flying towards the black-robed man. The black-robed man frowned slightly, but didn't take the light seriously. However, when the light touched his body, it created a slight resistance.
Wanru, the woman in white, and the guardian seized the opportunity to launch an attack, various magical lights intertwining as they attacked the man in black robes and the shadowy figure. The man in black robes snorted coldly and joined forces with the shadowy figure to counterattack. In an instant, light and darkness intertwined in the valley, and the sound of explosions was deafening.
While dodging the attacks, Huanmo pondered a countermeasure. "This can't go on. Our strength is far inferior to theirs. We must find the black-robed man's weakness." He was extremely anxious, and sweat soaked his back.
Just as the two sides were locked in fierce combat, a strange light suddenly streaked across the sky. This light instantly illuminated the entire valley, and the man in black robes and the shadowy figure seemed to be restrained by some powerful force, their movements slightly halted.
Huanmo's heart leaped with joy, "Could this be a turning point?" Everyone seized the opportunity to steady themselves, cautiously observing their surroundings. As the light faded, a rune radiating a soft glow slowly appeared in the air. Upon seeing this, the old man's expression changed drastically, exclaiming, "This is... an ancient sealing rune! How could it appear here?"
The black-robed man's expression turned extremely grim upon seeing the runes. "This is bad! Once these runes are activated, we will all be sealed!" He disregarded attacking the others and hurriedly tried with the shadowy figure to stop the runes from activating.
Seeing this, Huanmo and the others realized it was a golden opportunity. "We can't let them destroy the runes, let's stop them together!" Huanmo shouted, leading the group to charge towards the black-robed man and the shadowy figure.
The two sides clashed fiercely once again, with Huanmo and the others fighting with all their might to prevent the black-robed man and the shadowy figure from getting close to the runes. However, upon sensing the threat posed by the runes, the black-robed man and the shadowy figure unleashed even greater power.
Just as Huanmo and the others were about to collapse, the runes suddenly shone brightly, and chains of light flew towards the black-robed man and the shadowy figure. A ruthless glint flashed in the black-robed man's eyes; he actually abandoned the shadowy figure and transformed into a streak of black light to escape. The shadowy figure, however, was tightly bound by the chains of light, letting out a painful roar.
Just when everyone thought the crisis was about to end, the bound shadowy figure suddenly self-destructed, unleashing a powerful surge of dark energy that swept towards them. The force was too immense; they had no time to dodge. A flicker of despair crossed Huanmo's mind. "Could it be that we are ultimately doomed?"
What consequences will the erupting dark power have on everyone? What new schemes will the black-robed man conspire after his escape? Everything is shrouded in deeper mystery, and everyone's fate hangs in the balance once more...
