"Lu Yuan, this guy is far more powerful than our previous enemies, we have to be careful."
Chu Yao reminded in a low voice, staring closely at the man in purple robe.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, he knew how powerful his opponent was.
The purple-robed man's black spiritual power seemed to be endless, sweeping towards them like a tide.
"We can't fight hard, we must find his flaws."
Lu Yuan thought to himself and clenched the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.
"You two be careful, I will try to hold him back."
He said with determination in his tone.
Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao looked at each other. Although they were a little worried, they completely believed in Lu Yuan's judgment.
"We will protect ourselves."
Ye Ling'er said softly, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
The man in purple robe sneered, his eyes flashing with cold light.
"Do you think you can escape this disaster?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the short staff in his hand suddenly emitted a strong black light, and instantly turned into several sharp blades, heading towards Lu Yuan and the others.
"Xuanyuan Sword, broken!"
Lu Yuan raised his sword to meet him without hesitation, and the golden sword energy rushed out like a torrent, blocking the sharp blades.
"Boom!"
The sword energy collided with the sharp blade, a deafening sound erupted in the air, and the ground shook violently due to the impact.
Lu Yuan's body was shaken and he took a few steps back, but he quickly stabilized his body, his eyes still sharp.
The purple-robed man sneered and waved his short staff again, and more black spiritual power turned into a whirlpool and swept towards Lu Yuan.
"His offensive is getting stronger and stronger."
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth secretly in his heart, knowing that the opponent's strength was far beyond imagination.
"But I can't back down."
He took a deep breath, the spiritual power in his body circulated rapidly, and the Xuanyuan Sword trembled slightly in his hand, as if responding to the master's will.
"Xuanyuan Sword, awaken!"
Lu Yuan shouted suddenly, Xuanyuan Sword instantly burst out with dazzling golden light, and the sword energy rushed straight into the black vortex like an angry dragon.
"Boom!"
The golden sword energy and black spiritual power collided in the air, erupting into a strong shock wave, and the entire valley was instantly swept away by this force.
The purple-robed man's face changed slightly, obviously he didn't expect Lu Yuan's sword energy to be so powerful.
"It seems you have hidden a lot of strength."
He said coldly, with a trace of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
"But this will not change your outcome."
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his short staff suddenly, and the black spiritual power poured down like a violent storm, as if it was going to swallow Lu Yuan completely.
"Brother Lu Yuan!"
Ye Ling'er exclaimed, her face full of anxiety.
But Lu Yuan's expression remained firm. He did not flinch, but took a sudden step forward, wielding the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand with a sharp sword energy.
"Xuanyuan Sword, break it for me!"
The sword energy cut through the sky like lightning, directly hitting the black spiritual power.
"Boom!"
The two forces collided again, the air was filled with strong murderous aura, and the entire valley seemed to be shaking under the impact of this force.
Lu Yuan's body was shaken and he retreated repeatedly, but he still did not let go of the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand.
"This guy's power is too strong..."
Lu Yuan gritted his teeth secretly in his heart. He knew that the strength of the man in purple robe was beyond the normal range.
But he also knew that he must not fall here.
"I must win!"
Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with determination.
He took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body began to circulate again, and the Xuanyuan Sword burst out with even more dazzling light in his hand.
"Lu Yuan, if you continue like this, you will run out of spiritual power." Chu Yao said worriedly.
Lu Yuan nodded slightly, but his eyes remained firm: "I know, but this is the only way."
When the man in purple robe saw that Lu Yuan was still insisting, a disdainful smile appeared on his face.
"You still don't give up? Then let me end your lives completely!"
After he finished speaking, the short staff suddenly waved again, and the black spiritual power gathered into a huge black vortex, heading straight towards Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan knew that the blow in front of him would determine life or death.
He gritted his teeth, and Xuanyuan Sword once again erupted with unprecedented golden light in his hand.
"Xuanyuan Sword, breaking the sky!"
Lu Yuan shouted angrily, and his sword energy turned into a huge beam of light, facing the black vortex.
"Boom!"
The sword energy collided with the black vortex again, and a strong shock wave erupted.
The two forces were locked in a stalemate in the air, and the entire valley seemed to be in a doomsday tremor.
Lu Yuan's body trembled slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and clenched the Xuanyuan Sword with both hands to prevent himself from taking a step back.
The purple-robed man's expression also became serious. He didn't expect Lu Yuan to be able to compete with him.
"You...can really block my power?"
He whispered, a hint of disbelief flashing in his eyes.
"I won't lose to you!"
Lu Yuan shouted angrily, Xuanyuan Sword burst out with an even stronger light in his hand, and the golden sword energy swept out like a violent storm, instantly tearing apart the black vortex.
"Boom!"
With the final collision, the purple-robed man's body was blown away by the sword energy and fell heavily to the ground, with blood spurting out from his mouth.
"This...impossible..."
The man in purple robe had a face full of fear, and his eyes were full of unwillingness and anger.
Lu Yuan slowly sheathed his sword and took a deep breath. The spiritual power in his body was almost exhausted, but he still stood upright.
"You lost."
He said, with a hint of coldness in his tone.
The man in purple robe was lying on the ground, panting, a trace of madness flashing in his eyes.
"You... think that if you win me, everything will end?"
He whispered, his voice dripping with venom.
"The Black Demon Sect's plan is far beyond what you can stop... Soon, all your resistance will look ridiculous."
Lu Yuan frowned slightly and asked coldly: "What are you planning?"
The man in purple robe did not answer, but suddenly let out a deep laugh.
"You will find out soon... and then all the secrets will be revealed."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body suddenly began to tremble violently, and then, a black light surged out of his body and swallowed him whole.
"Not good!"
Lu Yuan shouted loudly, but it was too late. The black light dissipated instantly, and the purple-robed man's body also disappeared.
"It's this black power again..."
Chu Yao frowned, her face full of confusion.
"What exactly does he want to do?"
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, filled with questions.
He felt that the conspiracy of the Black Demon Sect was getting deeper and deeper. The enemy in front of him was just the tip of the iceberg, and there were even more terrifying forces hidden behind it.
"We must find Qing Xuzi as soon as possible. Only he can tell us the answer."
Lu Yuan's eyes were firm and he gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly.
He knew that the real challenge came next.
The shadow of the Black Demon Gate hangs over Wulin, and he must uncover all the mysteries and stop their evil plans.
No matter how much danger lies ahead, he will never back down.
"Let's go, let's move on." (End of Chapter)
