Lu Yuan led Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao through the depths of the Valley of Desolation. The death of Guardian Zuo allowed them to temporarily escape the crisis, but he knew in his heart that this battle was far from over.
The air around them was still filled with a cold atmosphere, as if some danger was waiting for them.
"We have to leave here as soon as possible. The remnants of the Black Demon Sect may have discovered our actions."
Lu Yuan whispered, with a bit of vigilance in his eyes.
Ye Ling'er followed Lu Yuan closely, still feeling a little uneasy.
"Brother Lu Yuan, I have an ominous feeling here, as if we are being targeted by something."
She said softly, with a bit of worry in her eyes.
Chu Yao also nodded in agreement.
"This place is indeed weird. Although we have killed the Zuo Guardian, the people from the Black Demon Sect will definitely not give up."
Lu Yuan took a deep breath, his eyes as sharp as a sword.
"Yes, the Black Demon Sect will never let us go easily."
"So we must speed up and leave the Valley of Despair as soon as possible."
The three of them continued to move forward, and the atmosphere in the Valley of Despair became increasingly weird.
The surrounding mountain walls were covered with moss, and the air was filled with a faint rotten smell, as if some kind of danger was quietly approaching.
"The yin energy here is getting stronger and stronger."
Chu Yao whispered, clenching the sword in her hand.
Lu Yuan nodded.
"It seems there is an ambush ahead."
At this moment, the surrounding air suddenly became extremely heavy.
"Boom!"
A low vibration came from the front, as if something huge was awakening deep in the valley.
Lu Yuan's eyes became even colder, and he quickly swung the Xuanyuan Sword. The strong sword energy streaked through the air, and instantly slashed into the void in front of him.
"Boom!"
The sword energy hit some kind of invisible obstacle, and strong spiritual energy fluctuations erupted.
Immediately afterwards, strange black shadows poured out from the surrounding mountain walls. They were huge in number and seemed to be endless.
"Damn it, it's the Black Demon Sect's ambush again!"
Chu Yao's expression changed and she quickly put on a defensive posture.
Ye Ling'er also pulled out the dagger, looking nervous.
"How did they find us so quickly?"
Lu Yuan said coldly, and the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand burst out with intense light again.
"This is a trap that has been set long ago. They have been waiting for us to enter the Valley of Despair."
"We can only force our way out now."
The number of black shadows was increasing, and they quickly surrounded the three of them.
These black shadows are different from the ordinary minions before. They exude strong evil energy, are extremely fast, and attack extremely fiercely.
"We must break out, otherwise we will be trapped and die here!"
Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and the Xuanyuan Sword spun in his hand. The strong sword energy exploded like a storm, slashing at the black figures in an instant.
"Boom!"
The sword energy collided with the black shadow, erupting with strong energy fluctuations. However, the number of black shadows was still huge, and it seemed that they could not be completely eliminated.
"The power of these black shadows is endless, and it is impossible to defeat them all!"
Chu Yao gritted her teeth, her face showing a bit of anxiety.
Ye Ling'er also seemed a little powerless. Although her dagger was sharp, it seemed useless in front of these black figures.
"We can't continue to delay, we must find the source of control of these black shadows!"
Lu Yuan's eyes became sharper. He could feel that the power of these black shadows was not infinite. They must be controlled by some kind of formation or magical weapon.
"I'll look for the formation, you continue to defend!"
After he finished speaking, his figure rushed towards the center of those black shadows like lightning.
"Brother Lu Yuan, be careful!"
Ye Linger shouted loudly, her heart full of worry.
However, Lu Yuan was as fast as lightning, and the black shadow could not stop him at all.
He quickly shuttled between the black shadows, waving the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand, and the sword energy slashed at the surrounding black shadows like a violent storm.
"The power of these black shadows comes from a certain formation. As long as we find the eye of the formation, we can break it!" Lu Yuan thought silently in his heart, looking around quickly.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the mountain wall not far away.
There were some ancient runes vaguely carved on the mountain wall, and there was a strong evil aura permeating the runes, as if they were controlling these black shadows.
"Found it!"
Lu Yuan whispered, and then the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly burst out with an even stronger light.
"Break the formation!"
He shouted loudly, and his sword energy struck the runes on the mountain wall like thunder.
"Boom!"
The sword energy hit the rune, and powerful spiritual energy fluctuations spread instantly. The rune began to vibrate violently, and the surrounding black shadows also swayed, as if they had lost some control.
"Success!"
Chu Yao shouted loudly, and then quickly swung her sword to kill the remaining shadows.
Ye Ling'er also breathed a sigh of relief, spinning the dagger in his hand, completely defeating the last black shadow.
As the runes shattered, the surrounding black shadows gradually disappeared, and the evil spirit in the air began to dissipate.
"We finally broke the formation."
Chu Yao said softly, with a bit of relief on her face.
However, Lu Yuan's eyes were still cold, and he did not relax his vigilance.
"This is only part of the power of the Black Demon Sect, they will have back-ups."
He said, and then quickly led the two of them towards the exit of the valley.
They must leave the Valley of Despair as soon as possible, otherwise they will fall into a greater crisis.
However, just as they were about to approach the mouth of the valley, a sneer suddenly came from the front.
"Hehehe... you think it's that simple?"
With the sound of laughter, several figures suddenly appeared in the valley ahead.
They were the elite members of the Black Demon Sect. They wore black robes, with ferocious masks on their faces, and held all kinds of magic weapons in their hands. Their evil aura was overwhelming.
"You have no way to escape."
The leader of the men in black robes said coldly, with a bloodthirsty light in his eyes.
Lu Yuan's eyes became colder, and he knew that the real decisive battle was coming.
"It seems we have to force our way out."
He said, Xuanyuan Sword burst into intense golden light in his hand.
"Ye Ling'er, Chu Yao, be careful, these people from the Black Demon Sect are more ferocious than the ones we encountered before."
Chu Yao clenched her sword tightly, with a hint of determination in her eyes.
"Lu Yuan, we will fight side by side with you!"
Ye Ling'er also nodded, with a firm light in his eyes.
"That's right, we won't back down!"
The man in black robe sneered, and then suddenly waved the magic weapon in his hand. Black evil light instantly gathered in the air and swept towards Lu Yuan and the others.
"Boom!"
The evil light collided with Lu Yuan's sword energy, bursting out with strong energy fluctuations, and the surrounding rocks shook violently.
Lu Yuan's figure rushed forward like lightning, Xuanyuan Sword spinning in his hand, and the sword energy slashed at the black-robed men like thunder.
"Your black magic sect's sorcery ends here!"
Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and the powerful sword energy instantly tore through the black-robed man's defense.
"Poof!"
The leading man in black robe let out a scream, and his body was shattered by the sword energy.
However, more men in black robes came like a tide, and the number was huge, seemingly endless.
"These guys are endless!"
Chu Yao gritted her teeth and spun her sword in her hand, trying to repel more enemies.
Ye Ling'er also seemed a little powerless. Facing so many enemies, her physical strength was gradually exhausted.
"We can't drag it out any longer, we must break out as soon as possible!"
Lu Yuan shouted loudly, and the Xuanyuan Sword suddenly burst out with an even stronger light in his hand.
