At this time, in front of the blacksmith shop in the town, Zhou Huabing and Zhou Huading were checking their equipment and preparing to embark on the journey. Blacksmith Lao Li knocked on the red-hot steel, causing sparks to fly. His voice was rough and powerful: "Children, remember, the best defense is not only armor, but also the tenacity in your heart. I am here, waiting for your triumphant return. News.”
Amidst Lao Li's blessings, the group gathered together. Their equipment was brand new, and their expressions were solemn but revealed unquestionable determination. Residents of the town came out to see him off one after another. Children waved their little hands, women had tears in their eyes, and men expressed silent support with solemn expressions.
"Goodbye, warriors!" A loud voice sounded in the crowd, it was the old man from before, "Please carry our hope and move forward bravely."
Su Mo looked up at the crowd and bowed deeply. "Thank you everyone, we will bring back our victory with the light of lark." His words were like the spring breeze, warm and inspiring.
Just as the team was about to set off, a breeze blew by, which seemed to carry some strange rhythm. It was the unfinished melody of the lark, floating gently in everyone's ears, giving them invisible power.
Alvin suddenly stopped and closed his eyes, as if listening to something. "Listen, it is the singing of Bai Ling. She is telling us that even if we are separated from each other, the resonance of our souls will never be cut off."
Zhou Huayi touched the hilt of the sword lightly, and a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Then, let us take this power and join Bai Ling to challenge the unknown darkness."
The team set off again. In the morning light, their backs gradually faded away, but they left a deep mark on everyone's heart. This journey is not only a battle against darkness, but also a journey of finding yourself and discovering hope.
After they left, a legend spread in the town - a group of people chosen by the light, with undying faith, embarked on the path of pursuing light and justice. People began to tell their stories, children dreamed of becoming such heroes, and old people told them under the stars, as if they could see the future illuminated by light.
"They will come back," as night fell, the old man sat alone at the entrance of the town and whispered to the stars in the sky, "because they have light in their hearts, and the world will eventually be different because of them."
Just as the town was immersed in the expectations and praises of the Messenger of Light, the night quietly deepened, stars dotted the deep night sky, and there was an unknown undercurrent hidden in the tranquility.
Su Mo walked alone on the way back to the hotel, the old man's parting words echoed repeatedly in his mind, and an indescribable warmth surged in his heart. However, this peace did not last long. A sudden cold wind made his heart tighten suddenly, and there seemed to be an ominous atmosphere in the air.
"Su Mo, your journey is far from over." A low and familiar voice sounded in the night. Su Mo turned around suddenly and saw that the kind-hearted old man had now changed into a cold face. , a faint green light flashed in his eyes, like a bottomless abyss.
"You..." Su Mo was shocked, but also in disbelief. This old man who gave them blessings and encouragement in the sun was actually the big devil hiding in the darkness?
"Yes, it's me." The old man, or rather, the devil disguised as an old man, smiled contemptuously, and the aura around his body suddenly surged. The original gentle appearance was like a faded painting, revealing his true face - a man wearing a black robe, A strong man with evil aura all over his body. "I have been observing you in this town, Su Mo. You and your friends do have the potential to impress people. But I must tell you that light and darkness can never be defined by you."
Before he finished speaking, the demon swayed and was approaching Su Mo in an instant. The speed was staggering. Although Su Mo was on guard, he still seemed unprepared for this sudden attack. He felt a tightness in his chest, a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Why..." Su Mo struggled to get up, but was seriously injured and could only barely hold up half of his body. There was both confusion and anger in his eyes.
"Why?" The devil sneered, "For power, to control the laws of this world. Bai Ling is just the beginning. Although her singing is light, it has also become a beacon that attracts my attention. And you, and your partners You will be the key to realizing my ambition. However, it seems that you are still too young.”
Su Mo gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, staring at the demon in front of him unwillingly. Although he knew in his heart that there was a disparity in power, his belief in protecting the light prevented him from giving in easily. "Our beliefs are not something you can understand..."
"Faith?" The devil sneered and was about to take action again. Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed across the night sky, and the figures of Ivan and others descended on the battlefield like lightning.
"Stop!" Ai Wen stood in front of Su Mo, and the pen in his hand turned into a shining sword, pointing directly at the devil, "Su Mo, don't forget, we said we would face everything together!"< br>
Zhou Hua A, B, C, and D also stood up quickly. There was no fear in their eyes, only determination. Even in the face of such a powerful enemy, they did not retreat even half a step, because they knew that they were willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of light and the people they loved.
"Oh? It seems that I underestimated the bond between you." There was a hint of surprise in the devil's tone for the first time, but he immediately put away his contempt, and the magic power surged around him, preparing to face this unexpected challenge. , "Very good, then let me see what kind of light you can shine!"
The battle broke out in this quiet night. Under the starlight, light and darkness clashed fiercely, swords flashed, and demonic energy spread across the sky. A battle involving faith and destiny began. Although Su Mo was seriously injured on the ground, his eyes were still blazing, and he swore secretly in his heart that no matter what the outcome, they would prove that the light would not be extinguished just because one person fell.
"Aiwen," Su Mo said with difficulty, with blood stains on the corners of his mouth, but a warm smile, "don't worry about me, our story is far from over..."
Ivan's sword collided with the demon's dark energy, causing trembling ripples in circles. The boundary between light and darkness was blurry and clear, reflecting the unyielding warriors. Zhou Huayi followed closely with his sword, making every slash with precision, trying to find a flaw in the opponent's defense. Zhou Huabing and Zhou Huading cooperated tacitly, attacking and defending like twin stars, tightly guarding the team's flanks.
"Ai Wen, we can't delay for too long, we must find his weakness!" Zhou Huayi shouted during an offensive break, with beads of sweat on his forehead.
Ivan frowned, his eyes keenly catching every subtle movement of the demon, and at the same time paying attention to the changes in the surrounding environment. He suddenly had an idea, "Distract his attention! I have a way."
Hearing this, Zhou Huajia quickly adjusted his tactics. The four of them were divided into two groups and began to attack the demon more flexibly. Aiwen quietly moved around the edge of the battle, the pen sword spinning in his hand, as if he was brewing something. .
Although the devil was a little flustered by the sudden changes, he was still able to handle it with ease and sneered: "It's a futile effort, the light shines temporarily in front of me."
"Really?" The corner of Aiwen's mouth raised. He found the right moment and suddenly threw the pen sword in his hand into the sky. The pen sword drew a bright arc in the air, and instantly split into countless light spots, like the brightest galaxy in the night sky. , and then the light points converged to form a huge shield of light, which hit the demon head directly behind.
The demon didn't expect it and turned around hastily to deal with it. This brief distraction gave Zhou Hua A and Zhou Hua the best opportunity to attack. They jointly launched the strongest attack, successfully penetrating the demon's defense, leaving a deep of wounds.
"Uh... Damn it!" A look of pain appeared on the devil's face for the first time. His energy fluctuations began to become unstable, and it was obvious that he had suffered a big blow.
"Aiwen, great job!" Su Mo reluctantly sat aside and watched all this. Although the pain made his face pale, the light in his eyes became more determined.
"It's not over yet, Su Mo." Ai Wen responded and motioned for the others to continue the siege, while he took advantage of the demon's distraction and quietly approached, preparing to give the final blow.
At this moment, the devil's eyes suddenly became sharp, and the magic power in his body surged. He roared, and the air around him seemed to be torn apart, and a more violent counterattack was about to come.
"Be careful!" Su Mo shouted a warning with all his strength. Although his voice was weak due to injuries, everyone present clearly received the urgency.
Just as everyone was preparing to resist the devil's counterattack, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky above the town. A warm and powerful light penetrated the night and shone directly on the devil, causing him to retreat involuntarily. The light seemed to contain something... Some kind of purifying power gradually weakened his dark energy.
"This... this is..." Fear showed on the devil's face for the first time. The light was like some kind of force that he could not resist, making him feel more threatened than ever before.
"Bailing... is the power of Bailing..." Su Mo whispered, with surprise and hope shining in his eyes. He finally understood that light and love will never truly disappear.
In the light, the figure of the devil became fainter and fainter until it disappeared completely, leaving only a sentence floating in the air: "After all, the balance between light and darkness is not something you can break..."
After the battle, the town returned to calm, and the extra stars in the night sky seemed to disappear into the night. Su Mo was carefully helped up by everyone, and they sat in a circle, with each other's eyes filled with deeper trust and determination.
"No matter how many unknowns and challenges there are in the future, as long as we are together, there will be no difficulty that cannot be overcome." Ivan's words are like a vow, echoing in everyone's heart.
"Moreover," Su Mo continued with a smile. Although his body had not yet recovered, his spirit was more uplifting than ever. "Now we know that light will always be in our hearts. As long as we have hope, darkness will never be able to swallow us. .”
"You're right, Su Mo." Zhou Huayi clenched the hilt of his sword, his eyes flashing with unprecedented determination, "This experience is not only a test for us, but also allows us to recognize the value of light. It not only illuminates The road ahead has planted an eternal fire deep in our hearts.”
"Yes, we must not only protect the light, but also become the light." Zhou Huabing and Zhou Huading said in unison. The two brothers looked at each other and smiled. Their tacit understanding and perseverance seemed to be that no difficulty could separate them.
Sitting in the circle, Alvin gently rotated the pen in his hand. At this moment, it returned to its usual appearance, inconspicuous but containing infinite possibilities. "Su Mo, your persistence has allowed us all to see the power of light. It is not just a simple victory or defeat, but an attitude of never giving up, a courage to fight against the darkness."
Su Mo looked around at his friends gratefully, feeling an indescribable emotion surge in his heart. "Thank you. It is you who made me understand that the real light is not only the external strength, but also the unity and trust in our hearts. No matter what we will face next, I firmly believe that as long as we stand side by side, we will be able to achieve success." Nothing is impossible.”
The gentle night breeze took away the traces of the battle and dispersed the haze in Su Mo's heart. Under the starlight, their figures looked taller, like clusters of bonfires in the night, warm and full of hope.
"Now, we should go back and tell the people in the town that the light has never left, and we will never let them down." Ivan stood up, his eyes penetrated the night, as if he had seen the coming dawn .
"Let's go, messengers of light." Zhou Huajia patted Su Mo's shoulder and motioned for them to return to the town together. This was not just a simple summons, but more like recognition and respect for their common identity.
The group of people set out on their way home. Although the night was still dark, there was no longer fear and doubt in their hearts, replaced by longing for the future and fearless belief. Their steps are firm and powerful, and each step seems to be announcing to the world that the struggle between light and darkness has never stopped, and they are the messengers of light who never give up.
"Evan, when we return to the town, how do you plan to tell everyone what happened today?" Su Mo's tone was filled with curiosity and expectation. He wanted to know how their story would inspire more people. .
Alvin smiled, stars twinkling in his eyes. "I would say that today, we met a devil who claimed to be able to define light and darkness, but he forgot that the real definer is the choice and belief in each of us. Light does not lie in the size of power. It's about whether we are willing to be that light." "That's so good, Alvin." An old man passing by stopped when he heard Alvin's words, his eyes full of admiration. "In this world, too many people are afraid of the darkness and forget that they can also be part of the light. Your actions give us all hope." (End of Chapter)
