Chapter 168: Struggle in the Dark Vortex

Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stared at the mysterious figure, their eyes showing confusion, vigilance, and a hint of imperceptible fear. The mysterious figure was locked in their gazes, but remained calm, only the aura around him became more unfathomable.

The mysterious figure spoke slowly, his voice seemed to come from ancient times, with a heavy sense of oppression: "The power you pursue is nothing but an illusory bubble. The conspiracy hidden behind it is deeper and more terrifying than you can imagine. If you continue to be stubborn, you will fall into an irretrievable place and will never be able to be reborn."

Lin Xiao snorted coldly, her beautiful face twisted slightly in anger: "You are just talking nonsense, why should we believe you? Maybe you are the liar who is full of lies and wants to lead us into another trap!"

Mo Yu remained silent, with a gleam in his deep eyes. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then tell me, what exactly is this conspiracy? If you tell me a lie, the sword in my hand will not let you go!"

The mysterious figure's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate everything and reach the depths of the soul: "On this continent, a dark force is quietly rising. They hide in dark corners, like poisonous snakes in the dark night, waiting for an opportunity to strike. They manipulate your fate and make you kill each other, just to weaken the power of each party so that they can easily control the overall situation. And this mountain is the key to their conspiracy. An ancient seal is hidden here. Once it is broken, the dark force will sweep across the entire continent like a flood and beast, bringing endless disasters and destruction."

Lin Xiao frowned, her beautiful eyebrows twisted into a ball, and the doubts in her heart became more and more serious: "Then what exactly do they want to do? Is it just to rule this continent?"

The mysterious figure sighed, and that sigh seemed to carry the vicissitudes of a thousand years: "They want to break the balance of the world, control all power, and make all things their slaves. Their ambitions go far beyond this. They desire to transcend the boundaries of life and death and pursue eternal power and desire. And you are just insignificant pieces on their chessboard."

Mo Yu clenched the sword in his hand. The sword trembled slightly because of his strength, flashing a cold light. His eyes were as firm as iron: "We will never let others manipulate us! Even if we are torn to pieces, we will fight against this dark force to the end!"

The mysterious figure nodded slightly, with a hint of admiration in his eyes: "But it is not easy to get out of this predicament. You need to put aside your prejudices against each other and work together. Only when you think and work together, there is a glimmer of hope."

Lin Xiao hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Mo Yu, his eyes full of entanglement and confusion: "Mo Yu, what do you think? I... I don't know whether I should believe him."

Mo Yu took a deep breath, and that breath seemed to suck all the air around him, and then he exhaled slowly: "Now it seems that this is the only way. But we must always be vigilant and not be fooled by him."

At this moment, the surrounding shadows suddenly became agitated. The originally quiet atmosphere was instantly broken, filled with tension and anxiety.

"Don't listen to his nonsense! Kill them!" the leading black shadow shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of madness and determination.

The mysterious figure's face darkened, like a dark cloud, his eyes revealing deep disappointment and anger: "You fools who have been deceived! You are being used without knowing it, how pathetic!"

Lin Xiao and Mo Yu were ready for battle again, their bodies tense like arrows about to leave the bow.

However, the shadows did not attack immediately, but wandered around in place, with hesitation and struggle revealed in their eyes.

The mysterious figure took the opportunity to say, "Don't you realize it yet? If you continue to be an accomplice to the evil, you will only end up dead! Turn back now, and maybe you can still have a chance of survival."

Finally, a few dark shadows wavered. They slowly put down their weapons, and the madness in their eyes was gradually replaced by clarity.

"We...we don't want to be used anymore." One of the black shadows said in a trembling voice.

But most of the shadows still insisted on attacking, their eyes were still shrouded in darkness, unable to extricate themselves.

A chaotic battle broke out again. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu fought side by side with the mysterious figure, fighting against the black shadow together.

Mo Yu's sword shone brightly in the darkness, and every swing of it was accompanied by a resolute momentum, as if he was going to split this dark world in half with one sword.

Lin Xiao's magic was like a brilliant firework, lighting up the dark corners. Her magic contained a powerful force, and each ray of light could repel a shadow.

The mysterious figure showed great strength, and every move he made exuded great power. Every move he made contained endless mysteries, making it difficult for the black shadows to resist.

During the fierce battle, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered the flaw of the black shadows.

"Mo Yu, attack their left side!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice clear and firm.

Mo Yu moved upon hearing the sound, his body as fast as lightning, and instantly attacked towards the left side of the black shadows.

He cooperated well with Lin Xiao and the mysterious figure and gradually gained the upper hand.

Just when they were about to win, a huge roar suddenly came from the sky. The sound was like the roar of heaven and earth, shaking people's hearts and minds.

Everyone looked up and saw a black vortex forming in the air. The vortex was like a huge black hole, emitting endless suction, making everyone unstable.

"What is this?" Lin Xiao exclaimed, his voice full of fear and surprise.

The mysterious figure's face changed drastically, and his originally calm face was now filled with panic: "Oh no, this is the ultimate move of the dark forces! They actually launched this forbidden technique in advance!"

Mo Yu gritted his teeth and said, "No matter what, we can't retreat! Even if we die, we must die for a good cause!"

They held on to each other tightly, struggling to resist the powerful force, but as the suction force continued to grow, their bodies gradually began to float towards the vortex.

Just when they were about to be sucked into the vortex, a strange light suddenly emanated from Lin Xiao's body. The light instantly illuminated the entire sky, forming a sharp contrast with the black vortex.

The mysterious figure widened his eyes and said in surprise: "This... This is the legendary power of light! Could it be that she is..."

Before he could finish, light instantly enveloped Lin Xiao, Mo Yu and the mysterious figure, isolating them from the black vortex.

However, the dark forces did not give up. Countless black tentacles suddenly stretched out from the vortex and attacked them in the light.

Lin Xiao and Mo Yu struggled to resist these tentacles, and the mysterious figure also cast powerful spells to try to cut off these evil tentacles.

Just when they were busy dealing with the situation, a dark shadow took advantage of the situation and stabbed Lin Xiao with a fatal sword.

"Be careful!" Mo Yu shouted loudly and rushed towards Lin Xiao desperately.

Just as the sword was about to pierce Lin Xiao, Mo Yu stood in front of her.

"Mo Yu!" Lin Xiao cried out in grief, tears welling up in his eyes.

Mo Yu fell into Lin Xiao's arms, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth: "Xiao'er, don't be afraid... I will protect you..."

Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with anger and sadness. She raised her head and looked at the black shadows and black whirlpools, the anger in her heart burning to the extreme.

"I will make you pay the price!" Lin Xiao roared, and the light on his body suddenly became extremely dazzling.

Wherever the light reached, the dark shadows dissipated and the black tentacles were burned to ashes.

Just when the dark forces were about to be wiped out, a sinister laugh suddenly came from the vortex.

"Do you think you can defeat me like this? You are too naive!" A black shadow slowly walked out of the vortex, emitting a strong dark aura from his body, which made people shudder.

Lin Xiao wiped away her tears, stood up, and looked at the black shadow with a firm look: "No matter who you are, today is your end!"

The shadow sneered: "Then give it a try!"

As he spoke, he waved his hands, and an even more powerful dark force attacked Lin Xiao.

The mysterious figure stepped forward and stood in front of Lin Xiao: "Let me deal with him!"

The mysterious figure and the black shadow started a thrilling duel. The forces of both sides collided and caused a huge explosion.

Lin Xiao took the opportunity to help Mo Yu up and heal his wounds.

"Mo Yu, you must hold on!" Lin Xiao burst into tears.

Mo Yu smiled weakly: "Xiao'er, don't worry... I will be fine..."

At this moment, the mysterious figure gradually fell into a disadvantage, and the black shadow's attacks became more and more fierce.

Lin Xiao put Mo Yu down and joined the battle again.

"Let's go together!" Lin Xiao shouted.

The three worked together to fight the final desperate battle with the shadow...
