Chapter 288 Guardian and Crisis
The black-robed man slowly raised his hand, revealing a black magic wand. A huge black gemstone was embedded in the top of the wand, and the gemstone shone with an eerie light.
"Then let me see how capable you are." The man in black robe waved his wand, and countless black skulls flew out of the wand, pouncing towards the three people with their fangs and claws.
Lan Yunyan quickly waved his staff, forming a green light shield in front of the three people.
The skull clashed with the shield of light, creating a crackling sound and sending up a cloud of black smoke. Lin Wan'er formed hand seals and rained down ice blades on the black-robed figure.
The man in black robe was not in a hurry. He muttered something and a black barrier appeared in front of him, and the ice blades shattered one after another.
Yun Mengyao seized the opportunity, flashed, and rushed towards the man in black robe like a flash of lightning, piercing the other's throat with the long sword in her hand.
The man in black robe sneered, dodged sideways, and gently waved the magic wand in his hand. A powerful force knocked Yun Mengyao away.
Yun Mengyao fell heavily to the ground, but she quickly got up and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth: "I won't give up."
Lan Yunyan and Lin Wan'er came to her side, and the three of them looked at each other, their eyes full of determination.
They knew that this was a battle of life and death, and they had to give it their all to protect the world and each other.
The three of them rushed towards the man in black robe again, and this time, they cooperated with each other more tacitly.
Lan Yunyan used her staff to restrain the black-robed man's movements, while Lin Wan'er looked for an opportunity to launch a fatal attack. Yun Mengyao used her agility to constantly interfere with the black-robed man, preventing him from concentrating on casting magic.
During the fierce battle, Lin Wan'er discovered that the black-robed man's magic seemed to be closely connected to the wand in his hand. If she could destroy the wand, perhaps she could weaken his power.
"Attack his wand!" Lin Wan'er shouted.
Upon hearing this, Yun Mengyao and Lan Yunyan immediately adjusted their tactics. Yun Mengyao focused her energy on attacking the black-robed man's arms, trying to prevent him from holding his wand, while Lan Yunyan released powerful vines to wrap around the black-robed man's legs, restricting his movement.
Lin Wan'er seized the opportunity to gather all her soul power, forming a complex hand seal with her hands while shouting, "Ice breaks the sky!"
A huge icicle fell from the sky, heading straight for the wand in the black-robed man's hand. The black-robed man's face changed, and he waved his wand with all his strength to resist.
The icicle collided with the wand with a loud bang, and the powerful impact blew away everything around it.
The three of them were shocked and fell to the ground, but they endured the pain, quickly stood up, and continued to stare at the man in black robe.
The wand in the black-robed man's hand cracked in the collision, and the light of the gem became much dimmer.
He roared angrily, "How dare you destroy my wand? I will make you pay dearly!"
As he spoke, the black-robed figure threw away his wand, waved his hands rapidly in the air, and chanted an ancient and evil spell. As the spell was chanted, the ground began to tremble violently, and countless black tentacles emerged from the ground, wrapping around the three people.
These tentacles are as hard as iron and covered with sharp barbs.
Lan Yunyan waved her staff, attempting to sever the tentacles with vines, but the vines were easily crushed upon contact. Lin Wan'er continuously created ice blades to attack the tentacles, but the ice blades only left shallow marks.
Yun Mengyao waved her sword and engaged in close combat with the approaching tentacles, but as the tentacles grew in number, she gradually fell into trouble.
"What should we do? If this goes on, we will all be entangled." Yun Mengyao shouted anxiously.
Lan Yunyan looked at the tentacles that kept coming from all around, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "These tentacles came out from the ground. Let's try attacking the ground."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao immediately changed the direction of their attack. Lin Wan'er shot her ice blade at the ground, while Yun Mengyao stabbed the ground with her longsword.
Lan Yunyan waved his staff, concentrated all his soul power at one point, and released a powerful energy wave towards the ground.
The three attacks landed on the ground simultaneously, triggering a powerful explosion. A large crater was blown out in the ground, and the black tentacles were broken off one after another in the blast.
The man in black robe was knocked back a few steps by the impact of the explosion, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"You still have some skills, but this is far from enough." The man in black robe steadied his body and prepared to cast magic again.
At this moment, a melodious bell sound suddenly rang out from outside the castle. The black-robed man's face changed when he heard the bell, as if the bell had some special effect on him.
"You are lucky. I will let you go this time. But I will not give up." After the man in black robe said this, his figure flashed and disappeared into the darkness.
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief, but they knew the danger wasn't over yet. The black-robed figure would surely return, and the conspiracy behind them still loomed over the entire castle.
"Let's leave here first and find a place to recover our strength before making a long-term plan." Lan Yunyan said.
The three of them supported each other and walked out of the castle carefully.
At this time, the night enveloped the earth, and the moonlight shone on their tired faces, outlining a series of firm outlines.
The woods outside the castle rustled in the night wind, as if hiding countless pairs of prying eyes, making people feel chilly.
They came to a quiet valley where there was a clear stream. The stream gurgled and made a crisp sound, as if telling an ancient story.
The surrounding grass is lush and green, dotted with colorful wildflowers, which sway gently in the breeze and emit bursts of fragrance.
Lan Yunyan waved her staff and set up a concealing barrier by the stream to prevent a sneak attack from the man in black robe.
Lin Wan'er sat on a large rock by the stream, cupping her hands with water to wash away the dirt and blood from her face. Her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue, but more of a determination.
Yun Mengyao was checking her sword. The sword was covered with nicks and scratches. She stroked it with heartache and secretly swore in her heart that she would make the man in black pay the price.
Lan Yunyan took out some healing herbs from her storage ring and handed them to Lin Wan'er and Yun Mengyao.
