From a loser to an immortal sage

Chapter 409 The Battle for the Broken Chapter Begins

Just as I was about to begin working on the key to deciphering the immortal array, I suddenly felt a strong sense of danger.

I turned around abruptly and saw Blood Shadow's figure dart out of the darkness like a ghost, his eyes gleaming with greed.

He clutched the stolen array treasure tightly in his hand, a ferocious smile on his face.

"Xiao Yao, you are truly a genius, but your good fortune ends here!" Xue Ying's cold voice echoed in the cave, and a thick killing intent filled the air.

I gripped my sword tightly, my gaze resolute, with only one thought in my mind: no matter what, I must protect everyone and break the immortal formation!

Blood Shadow, relying on the magical weapon in his hand, launched a fierce attack like a storm.

He brandished his magical weapon, and powerful energy waves seemed to surge from all directions, aiming straight for my vital points.

I reacted quickly, dodging his first attack by sidestepping, but his movements did not stop at all, and he launched a series of attacks.

"Hmph, you can hide for a while, but you can't hide forever!" Blood Shadow grinned maliciously, the magic weapon in his hand shimmering with a ghostly light, releasing even more violent energy.

The moment he attacked, I decisively leaped forward, my sword instantly meeting his attack with a deafening clang.

The powerful shockwave instantly pushed me back several steps. I was hit by the aftershocks of the energy wave, and a sharp pain surged through my body. My body swayed and I almost fell to the ground.

Just as I was struggling to steady myself, a sudden gust of wind swept through the mysterious valley, and the runes around the immortal array flickered erratically, seemingly becoming unstable due to the impact of the battle.

The strong wind, mixed with sand and dust, blinded me, making my already difficult movements even more challenging.

The wind howled in my ears, and I felt as if I were in a crazy vortex, with every breath feeling like a struggle against the whole world.

"Xiao Yao, it's pointless for you to live any longer!" Blood Shadow's voice was almost drowned out by the gale, but the madness and greed flashing in his eyes were so clear.

He brandished his magic weapon again, and a powerful energy wave shot straight at me.

I quickly rallied my spirits and raised my sword to meet the attack, but I didn't expect the power of this energy wave to be far greater than before. I felt a sudden darkness before my eyes, and my entire body was sent flying, crashing into the cave wall. A sharp pain shot through my back, and I couldn't help but groan.

At this critical moment of life and death, I gritted my teeth, endured the pain, and stood up again.

I gripped the sword tightly, a firm belief welling up within me.

I cannot fall, I cannot give up!

I attacked my comrades so that they wouldn't be in danger because of me.

Just then, I heard Zi Ling's anxious voice beside me: "Xiao Yao, hold on! I'm here to help you!" She wanted to help deal with Xue Ying, but he blocked her from the barrier he created with his magic weapon.

Zi Ling's face was filled with anxiety. Her hand kept sliding across the barrier, trying to break it, but Blood Shadow's magic weapon was obviously very powerful, and she couldn't break through it for a while.

"Don't bother!" Blood Shadow's laughter carried a hint of contempt. "You trash will never be able to break my barrier!" He proudly brandished his magic weapon, preparing to launch another fierce attack.

At this moment, the wind intensified, and the sand and dust scraped against the face like blades, making it difficult to open one's eyes.

I gritted my teeth, secretly devising a plan.

Although Blood Shadow's magical artifacts are powerful, they always have weaknesses.

I must find that weakness in order to counterattack!

I secretly channeled my spiritual power, preparing to launch the final attack.

Just then, I heard Lin Xianzi's faint voice: "Xiao Yao..." My heart tightened, and I turned to look at her. I saw that her eyes were full of worry, as if she wanted to come forward to help me.

"Xiao Yao, hang in there!" Zi Ling's voice rang in my ears, filled with determination.

I took a deep breath, and my conviction grew even stronger.

No matter what, I will protect everyone and break the immortal formation!

I gripped my sword tightly, my heart filled with unwavering confidence, ready to face the final challenge...

Blood Shadow's laughter echoed through the cave, carrying a hint of threat: "Xiao Yao, do you really think you can win?"

A cold smile curled at the corner of my lips as I met his gaze with unwavering determination: "You'll know once you try." The wind howled, whipping up pebbles and sand that stung my face.

Pah! This place is awful, and the wind is way too strong!

He couldn't even open his eyes, let alone see Xueying's disgusting face.

Fairy Lin wanted to come over to help, but I caught a glimpse of her struggling out of the corner of my eye. She seemed to be nailed to the spot by something and couldn't move.

Sigh, this girl has a good heart, but her skills are still lacking.

Blood Shadow, probably thinking he had victory in his grasp, let out a long howl that was so sharp and piercing that it made my eardrums ring.

The magical artifact in his hand shone brightly, and a suffocating sense of oppression swept over us.

I felt like my internal organs were about to be squeezed out, and it became difficult to breathe.

That guy really went all out!

"Xiao Yao, prepare to die!" Blood Shadow's roar was exceptionally clear in the gale, filled with smugness and killing intent.

He raised his magic weapon high, and a dazzling light shot straight towards me.

I had a bad feeling in my heart. If I got hit by this, I would be badly injured, if not killed!

At that critical moment, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind.

This strong wind... perhaps we can make use of it!

I took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain, and mobilized the little spiritual energy I had left.

I held my sword horizontally in front of me, held my breath, and focused on feeling the direction and power of the gale.

The Blood Shadow's attack was getting closer and closer; I could even feel its scorching heat.

It's now!

I swung my sword sharply, directing the power of the gale towards Blood Shadow's attack.

The two forces collided, producing a deafening roar.

I was jolted backward by the massive shockwave, feeling as if my body was about to fall apart.

But I still tried to open my eyes to see what would happen.

Blood Shadow's attack was actually blocked by the barrier he created himself!

The barrier was originally meant to trap Zi Ling and the others, but now it has become his death warrant.

The barrier shattered instantly under the powerful energy impact, and Blood Shadow was also knocked back several steps by the rebounding force, a look of disbelief on his face.

Haha, this is truly a stroke of luck!

I endured the excruciating pain and staggered to the critical point.

Now is not the time to rest; we must break the immortal formation as soon as possible!

I took a deep breath, placed my hand on the node, and began to circulate the spiritual energy within my body.

As spiritual energy was injected, the runes on the node began to flicker, emitting a faint golden light.

Suddenly, I sensed a strange movement coming from inside the immortal array. A powerful force was surging, as if something was about to break through the ground.

I was startled. What... what's going on?

"Xiao Yao, you won't get away with this!" Blood Shadow's voice rang out again, tinged with anger and resentment.

I turned to look at him and saw a fierce glint in his eyes, and a powerful energy was gathering in his hand once again.

It seems this battle is not over yet...

I sneered, "Trying to stop me? Let's see if you have the ability!" Before I finished speaking, an even more powerful force emanated from the depths of the immortal array, and the entire valley began to tremble...
