197: Hundred Slashes

The mist grew closer and closer, and everyone could feel the terrifying aura it contained. Their hearts were somewhat nervous, but more so, they felt determination and courage.

Su Qing shouted loudly and was the first to attack the mist. Her Magic Treasure drew a brilliant trajectory in the air, smashing fiercely towards the mist. Wang Sicong and the other two also quickly cast their Spells and Magic Treasures, launching attacks at the mist.

However, the mist seemed to possess an endless power; no matter how they attacked, they couldn't disperse it. On the contrary, the mist kept approaching, as if it wanted to devour them.

Everyone felt anxious, knowing that this situation was unsustainable. They had to find the mist's weakness to shatter it in one fell swoop.

So, they began to observe the mist carefully. After a thorough examination, they finally discovered that although the mist appeared formless, there were fine black threads interwoven within it, seemingly forming the mist's skeleton.

Seeing this, Su Qing's heart stirred. She immediately said to Wang Sicong and the other two, "These black threads are the mist's weakness! As long as we attack these threads, we can disperse the mist!"

Wang Sicong and the other two were overjoyed at her words. They immediately adjusted their attack direction, focusing their attacks on those black threads.

Sure enough, after a fierce assault, those black threads finally began to break. As the threads broke, the mist also started to loosen and eventually dissipated completely.

Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They knew that their ability to disperse the mist this time was thanks to Su Qing's careful observation and the cooperation of Wang Sicong and the other two.

However, just as they thought they had finally escaped danger, an even more terrifying figure suddenly appeared before them. It was a Black-Robed Cultivator, his face covered by a grotesque mask, making it impossible to see his true features. A terrifying aura emanated from him, as if from the depths of the Netherworld.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed. This Black-Robed Cultivator's aura clearly contained Nether Qi; a Nether Cultivator should not appear here. Could this place be connected to the Netherworld?

Su Qing secretly became vigilant. She knew that she and the others absolutely could not underestimate this Black-Robed Cultivator. So, she quickly gave Wang Sicong and the other two a look, signaling them to be careful.

Wang Sicong and the other two understood Su Qing's meaning. The four of them stood back-to-back, in a defensive posture, warily watching the Black-Robed Cultivator.

Seeing this, the Black-Robed Cultivator's lips curled slightly, as if he didn't care about their vigilance at all. He slowly said, "You people, to be able to make it this far, you do have some skill. But do you think you can escape from here? How laughable!"

Su Qing's heart sank at his words. She hadn't expected this Black-Robed Cultivator to be so arrogant, completely disregarding them. So, she snorted coldly and said, "Hmph, who do you think you are? Since we were able to get here, we naturally have the ability to leave!"

The Black-Robed Cultivator burst into laughter at her words. He laughed for a while before stopping and saying, "Truly, the ignorant are fearless! What do you think this place is? This is the entrance to the Netherworld! Once you step in, you can never turn back!"

Su Qing and the others' expressions all changed at his words. They hadn't expected this place to be the entrance to the Netherworld; no wonder it was so dangerous. They all felt anxious, knowing that they had to find a way to leave this place now, otherwise, once they fell into the Netherworld, they might never return.

However, the Black-Robed Cultivator didn't seem to intend to let them go. He slowly said, "Since you people have come here, you have become my sacrifices. I will offer your Souls to the great lords of the Netherworld as my achievement."

With that, he began to cast a Spell. His hands quickly formed seals in the air, and streaks of black light emanated from his hands, striking towards Su Qing and the others.

Seeing this, Su Qing and the others immediately cast their own Spells and Magic Treasures, attacking the black light. However, the black light seemed to possess endless power; no matter how they attacked, they couldn't disperse it.

On the contrary, the black light kept approaching, as if it wanted to devour them. Su Qing and the others all felt despair; they knew that they were probably doomed.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang in their ears. The voice said, "Don't panic, I'll help you!"

Su Qing and the others were all overjoyed at the sound. They hadn't expected anyone to be willing to help them at this moment. They quickly looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a Cultivator in white robes slowly walking towards them.

The suddenly appearing white-robed Cultivator didn't even glance at the Black-Robed Cultivator with Nether Qi. Instead, he walked directly in front of Su Qing and introduced himself, "I am Bai Zhan, a Loose Cultivator who wanders the four seas. I happened to pass by and saw you in trouble, so I decided to help."

Su Qing and the others quickly thanked Yun Yi. Yun Yi smiled slightly and said, "No need to be polite, we are all Cultivators, we should help each other."

After speaking, he looked at the Black-Robed Cultivator, a hint of disdain in his eyes. He slowly said, "You Black-Robed Cultivator, to dare to commit evil here, today I shall act on behalf of the Dao and slay you here!"

The Black-Robed Cultivator's expression changed drastically at his words. He hadn't expected this suddenly appearing white-robed Cultivator to be so powerful, completely disregarding him. So, he roared in anger and said, "You fool who doesn't know death, to dare to speak so presumptuously! Today I will show you my power!"

With that, he launched an attack at Bai Zhan. His hands quickly formed seals in the air, and streaks of black light emanated from his hands, striking towards Yun Yi.

Seeing this, Bai Zhan showed no panic. With a gentle wave of his hands, a white barrier appeared before him, blocking all the black light.

The Black-Robed Cultivator was startled at the sight. He hadn't expected this white-robed Cultivator to be so powerful, easily blocking his attack. So, he became even more furious and began to cast more powerful Spells.

However, no matter how he attacked, he couldn't break through Yun Yi's defense. Instead, Bai Zhan began to counterattack. His hands quickly formed seals in the air, and streaks of white light emanated from his hands, striking towards the Black-Robed Cultivator.
