Chapter 548 Fierce Battles on the Frontier and the True Face of the Mysterious Organization
The black light from the black-robed figure crashed against Zhang Peng and the others' defensive barrier like a surging tide, crackling and sparking, illuminating this desolate frontier. Zhang Peng's eyes sharpened, and the power of the radiant stars around him surged and churned. The power of the stars resonated with the power of the Star Heart, making the defensive barrier even more solid.
"Murong Yu, Liu Ruoli, let's take the initiative!" Zhang Peng shouted, and the power of the stars instantly condensed into several dazzling meteors, shooting towards the group of people in black robes. The meteors streaked across the night sky, carrying scorching light and immense power, distorting and warping the air wherever they went.
Wielding the Chaos Breeze Sword, Murong Yu unleashed the advanced technique, "Chaos Breeze Demon-Slaying Whirlwind." Chaotic sword energy crisscrossed, like countless sharp blades, weaving through the black-robed crowd. Each sword aura contained the power of chaotic laws, tearing apart the black-robed figures' spells. Wherever the sword energy passed, the black-robed figures screamed in agony; some were struck and instantly torn to pieces; others were blasted away by the aftershocks, crashing heavily to the ground.
Liu Ruoli played her jade flute, and a modified version of "Sonic Chaos Impact" flowed from its strings. The sound waves transformed into invisible blades, ravaging the black-robed crowd. The sound waves not only directly attacked the bodies of the black-robed figures but also interfered with their spellcasting, greatly reducing the power of their magic. Some of the black-robed figures, struck by the sound waves, clutched their heads, writhing on the ground in agony, emitting piercing screams.
Su Yi concealed himself in the darkness, the power of forbidden dark arts surging silently. He unleashed "Dark Concealment Assault," his body vanishing from his original spot and reappearing behind a man in black robes. Black light coalesced in his hand, forming a sharp dagger, which he thrust without hesitation into the man's back. The man in black robes sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but it was too late. The dagger pierced his body, and he was instantly consumed by the dark power, leaving only a pile of black ash.
Lan Bing brandished her staff, unleashing the ice spell "Ice Shard Storm." Countless sharp ice shards, carried by the gale, swept towards the black-robed group. The ice shards were like bullets, incredibly fast and powerful. The black-robed figures cast spells to defend themselves, but many were still struck by the ice shards. The shards pierced their bodies, instantly staining the ground red with blood, and the bodies of those struck were quickly frozen, turning into ice sculptures.
Under the combined attack of the group, the black-robed men's formation was gradually disrupted, and their attacks became scattered and disorganized. However, the leader of the black-robed men showed no panic. The black magical artifact in his hand shone brightly, and he chanted incantations. Suddenly, a powerful dark force surged from the artifact, tightly enveloping him.
"Hmph, you think you can defeat us like this? How naive!" The leader of the black-robed figures roared, and dark power instantly spread out, forming a huge dark vortex. Within the vortex, countless evil spirits howled, as if they came from the abyss of hell.
Zhang Peng and the others sensed the immense power of this dark force, their expressions turning grave. "Everyone be careful, this power is dangerous!" Zhang Peng shouted, his stellar energy rapidly circulating within him as he tried to find a weakness in the dark vortex.
Murong Yu unleashed the strongest defensive move of the "Chaotic Breeze Sword," "Chaotic Breeze Guardian," where chaotic power formed a massive shield around him, protecting everyone within it. The shield shimmered with chaotic light, resisting the power of the dark vortex.
Liu Ruoli played an enhanced version of "Sonic Chaos Interference," the sound waves vibrating within the dark vortex in an attempt to disrupt the operation of dark forces. However, the power of the dark vortex was too great, and the interference effect of the sound waves was not significant.
Su Yi unleashed the ultimate defensive move of the forbidden dark art, "Dark Void Shield." Black light formed a shield around everyone, working in conjunction with the Chaotic Breeze to resist the power of the dark vortex.
Lan Bing unleashed the strongest defensive move of ice magic, "Absolute Zero Ice Shield," a thick layer of ice enveloping everyone. The ice shield not only resisted attacks from dark forces but also reduced the temperature of the dark vortex, weakening its power.
Under the impact of the dark vortex, cracks gradually appeared in everyone's defenses. Zhang Peng knew that this couldn't continue; they had to find a way to break the power of the dark vortex. He concentrated his mind, using the power of the Starry Sky and the Star Heart to try to sense the source of the dark vortex's power.
Suddenly, Zhang Peng discovered a close connection between the power of the dark vortex and the runes underground. A thought struck him, and he immediately shared this discovery with his companions.
"Murong Yu, use the power of chaos to attack the runes underground and disrupt their connections. Liu Ruoli, use sound waves to interfere with the black-robed man's spellcasting. Su Yi, find an opportunity in the darkness to attack the black-robed man's weakness. Lan Bing, use ice magic to freeze the edge of the dark vortex and slow its rotation." Zhang Peng quickly issued the orders.
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately sprang into action. Murong Yu unleashed the "Chaotic Gentle Breeze Earth-Splitting Slash," a sword aura imbued with boundless chaotic power slashing towards the runes on the ground. The sword aura struck the runes, causing their light to flicker erratically, and cracks appeared in some of them.
Liu Ruoli played a tune called "Chaotic Sound Waves," which reverberated among the black-robed crowd, causing their spellcasting to become chaotic. The power of the black-robed men's spells decreased significantly, and the power of the dark vortex also weakened.
Su Yi unleashed his "Dark Concealment Assassination," his body weaving through the darkness as he searched for the black-robed figures' weaknesses. He noticed that the leader of the black-robed figures was extremely focused while manipulating the dark vortex, causing a brief opening in his back defenses. He immediately seized this opportunity, appearing behind the leader and thrusting his black dagger towards his back.
The leader of the black-robed figures sensed the danger and tried to dodge, but it was too late. The dagger pierced his body, and he was instantly consumed by the dark power, causing the power of the dark vortex to dissipate rapidly.
As the dark vortex disappeared, the black-robed group lost their leader and scattered in all directions. Zhang Peng and his companions did not let them go and continued their pursuit, defeating the black-robed men one by one.
After the battle, Zhang Peng and the others approached the leader of the black-robed men. They lifted his veil and discovered a strange symbol etched on his face.
"What kind of symbol is this?" Murong Yu asked, puzzled.
Using the power of the Stars Shining Brightly to perceive the symbols, Zhang Peng suddenly felt a surge of powerful information flood his mind. It turned out that these black-robed figures were members of a mysterious organization called the "Shadow Society." They had been secretly searching for an ancient power, attempting to use it to rule the cultivation world. These strange phenomena in the borderlands were the result of their evil experiments.
“It seems we have a new enemy,” Zhang Peng said with a grave expression. “This Shadow Society is more dangerous than we imagined.”
The group nodded, their eyes revealing unwavering determination. They knew a new challenge was on the horizon, but they would never back down…
