The black shadows that had lined up stopped running around. Then, a slightly larger black shadow floated in front of them alone.
Seeing this, the man and Mu Yao looked at each other across the boiling magma river. They both held their weapons tightly.
From a distance, Mu Yao could make out what the man was saying. Mu Yao’s heart warmed when she saw it.
He had mouthed, “Be careful.”
‘You too,’ Mu Yao thought.
Mu Yao was surprised that the man cared about her and hadn’t left her to fend for herself.
After a slight nod, the tense atmosphere came to a climax. The moment the leader of the black shadows flew into the sky, Mu Yao knew that the war had begun.
At this moment, her palms were already sweating.
With a boom, the rows of black shadows awoke and split into two teams like soldiers on the battlefield, as though they had heard a general blowing a horn. One team rushed towards Mu Yao and the other towards the man.
The magma was crackling and surging, and the temperature of the entire mystical realm was rising by the second.
Mu Yao and the man were naturally forced to quicken their breathing to avoid oxygen deprivation.
“Charge!” the group of black shadows let out a collective shout.
Mu Yao was greeted by the sight of a huge shadow charging at her! She immediately ducked and waved her silver sword, scattering several black shadows.
However, this was not enough. She was fighting one against a hundred. There was no way to win.
On the other side, a large group of black shadows attacked the man.
The man subconsciously waved the stone in his hand. He was unarmed, but he still had his martial arts skills to fall back on. He immediately dodged to the side. He stepped onto the rock wall and after somersaulting, he landed perfectly on one knee.
Without decent weapons, his first move would naturally be to dodge.
At the same time, the Blood Pupil behind the stone statue above their heads was watching this scene with satisfaction, and it closed its eyes in satisfaction. Just as he expected, no one could leave his mystical realm!
On the other side, Mu Yao was doing her best to brandish her silver sword. With the support of this sword, Mu Yao, who did not have any martial arts or cultivation foundations, actually felt a trace of strength run through her entire body. She was naturally carried by the silver sword.
Even so, the situation was not optimistic because there were too many black shadows. Even though some of them had been dispersed, another wave quickly came toward her.
At the same time, the man who was constantly dodging suddenly raised his head. An invisible force seemed to have sprung out from his body.
To his surprise, the large black shadow that had just approached him suddenly retreated for no reason. Before he could attack and disperse that large group of black shadows, they retreated on their own accord.
Following that, the black figures began to discuss amongst themselves, “Who is he? Why is there such a strong resistance around him that we can’t approach him at all?”
“That’s right! I feel like my remaining soul will dissipate as long as I get close!” another piped up.
“That’s right! You guys are right. Although this person doesn’t have any spiritual power at all, it’s terrifying to approach him!” another black shadow spoke up.
“That shouldn’t be the case. How could this be? We’ve been in this mystical realm for so long, but we’ve never met anyone we can’t beat! Has there been anyone who wasn’t beaten up by us? In the end, they would always fall into this magma river and be sacrificed to our Heavenly God,” a black shadow lamented.
Mu Yao, who was brandishing her silver sword, also heard these discussions. She frowned and thought to herself, ‘The man still has the ability to resist them! No wonder those wild beasts don’t dare to enter the black hole! However, this group of black shadows are actually souls! But who was the Heavenly God they were talking about just now?’
Mu Yao had lost most of her stamina, but she still fought on bravely with her silver sword.
The discussion continued. “Yeah! What should we do? If we don’t beat them to death, then we’ll be the ones to die! You have to know that our souls are the only traces left in this world. If even this soul is sucked into that Heavenly God’s body, then we will never be able to reincarnate!”
The man and Mu Yao both gave each other a look at the two sides of the lava stream. It seemed like this cave was the territory of that so-called Heavenly God.
“Yes, we will disappear from this world forever!” another shadow called out.
Mu Yao continued to swing her sword with all her might. However, the man could tell from the opposite shore that the woman was almost exhausted and about to die.
At the same time, the shadows shouted, “General! What should we do?”
The leader of the group flew back from above, jumping as he shouted, “Everyone, listen to my command. Attack that woman first!”
When the man heard this, his heart skipped a beat! The woman was exhausted and would not be able to resist them at all!
On the other side of the cliff, Mu Yao was struggling to even swing her sword. The black shadows were destroyed by the silver sword one after another. However, she was not a martial artist and did not have any spiritual power. It was only because of an unknown silver sword that she had pressed on until now.
However, the silver sword seemed to be consuming all of her energy. Her vision was getting blurry and she was about to faint.
Mu Yao couldn’t focus at all because she had been drained of all energy. Taking advantage of that, several black shadows ambushed her, even drawing blood.
Seeing this, the man’s pupils constricted and he shouted subconsciously, “You bunch of useless soldiers, come at me if you dare!”
The group of black shadows immediately gathered with their counterparts on Mu Yao’s side, and then flew toward Mu Yao.
“Ah!” Mu Yao’s silver sword was suddenly flung away by a large wave of black shadows.
The young lady fell to her knees as if she had lost all her strength!
When the man saw her in this state, he immediately felt his chest fill with anger, and his entire body began to tremble violently. His eyes suddenly turned red, and his low voice instantly reverberated throughout the entire cliff. “I said to come at me.”
The mass of black shadows that was attacking Mu Yao felt a cold and soul-stirring force coming from the man opposite her. That was the power of resistance. It was even stronger than before.
“General! This man seems to be coming over. His resistance is stronger than before!” a black shadow warned.
“That’s impossible! How can a person without spiritual power do that!” the general replied in a frenzy. “Quick! Kill this woman first! If we delay any longer, we won’t be able to kill both of them!”
By now, Mu Yao had already collapsed to the ground. The silver sword was a few meters away, and the green dress on her body was almost completely stained with blood.
The temperature in the entire space kept rising as the magma flowed upwards silently. The distance of more than twenty meters had been shortened by almost half!
At the same time, Mu Yao was surrounded by a large group of black shadows as she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The man let out a roar and a huge invisible force bounced off his body, repelling the countless black shadows surrounding women!
Mu Yao had absolutely no energy to look at what was happening around her. She felt as though she was going to die again. Was she going to die soon?
Suddenly, she felt a wave of heart-wrenching pain in her heart, but this was unlike the pain she had felt the first time she had died..
