406: Endless Black Flame (Part 2)

The power of the black flames gradually weakened, and Su Han and his companions took the opportunity to continue evading, searching for a way to escape the danger.

As the jade plate's light intensified, the momentum of the black flames was suppressed more and more severely.

Just as Su Han and his companions thought they were about to escape the black flames, a sharp laugh suddenly echoed from the crack (crack).

A figure slowly rose from the crack, enveloped in a black mist, making it difficult to discern its true appearance.

Su Han and his companions watched the figure warily, their hearts filled with fear and doubt.

Who exactly was this figure?

Why did he appear here?

And what was his connection to these black flames…

The dark figure slowly spoke, his voice deep and hoarse: “Do you think you can leave here so easily?

These black flames are but a small trick of mine. Since you’ve intruded into this territory, don’t even think about leaving alive.”

Su Han secretly groaned to himself. They had just dealt with the Monster and the dangers of the dark river, only to encounter this mysterious dark figure. This was truly like being caught between a wolf and a tiger.

But he quickly composed himself and said, “Who exactly are you? Why are you stopping us?”

The dark figure sneered and said, “Who I am is not important. What’s important is that all of you must die.”

After speaking, the black mist around the dark figure suddenly became more intense, surging towards Su Han and his companions.

Seeing this, Su Han, Bi Yao, and the Gravekeeper immediately adopted defensive stances, ready to face a new round of battle.

They knew this would be an extremely difficult battle, but they had no retreat and could only fight with all their might.

Su Han circulated his Spirit Energy, and the Sword Qi of the Cold Jade Art lit up once more. The light from Bi Yao’s jade plate also grew more dazzling, and the Gravekeeper was secretly mobilizing her power, ready to provide support at any moment.

The combined power of the three of them formed a powerful defensive barrier.

The dark figure’s black mist crashed against the defensive barrier, producing a violent roar.

For a time, both sides were in a stalemate.

Seeing that his black mist could not easily break through the defensive barrier of Su Han and his companions, the dark figure let out a low roar.

The figure within the mist began to twist violently, as if countless tentacles were struggling and writhing.

Su Han concentrated, trying to discern the opponent’s specific form through the gaps in the mist.

But the dark figure seemed to sense his intention, and the mist grew even denser, shrouding everything around them in darkness.

The Gravekeeper then whispered, “Su Han, don’t force yourself to look. This dark figure might be using some kind of illusionary technique.

Once you get distracted, our defense will have a loophole.”

Su Han nodded, collected himself, and fully maintained the power of the defensive barrier.

Bi Yao felt the Spirit Energy in her body constantly depleting, but the jade plate seemed to mitigate this consumption rate to some extent.

She gritted her teeth and said,

“We can’t keep defending. We must find a way to counterattack, otherwise, once our Spirit Energy is exhausted, we’re finished.”

Just then, the dark figure suddenly launched a fierce attack.

The mist surged like a raging tide towards the defensive barrier, and Su Han and his companions simultaneously felt an immense pressure.

Their bodies trembled slightly, but they still held their ground.

Bi Yao suddenly had an idea. She concentrated all the remaining Spirit Energy in her body onto the jade plate, which emitted a dazzling light that shot directly towards the dark figure.

This beam of light was like a sharp sword, instantly piercing through part of the mist.

The dark figure let out a painful howl, and the mist’s offensive also paused temporarily.

Su Han seized this opportunity to unleash the strongest move of the Cold Jade Art. A massive ice pillar shot out from his hand, containing an extreme coldness.

The ice pillar surged into the mist, freezing many black threads.

Those threads were originally the power conduits used by the dark figure to control the mist. The ice pillar's freezing slowed down the dark figure's movements. (End of Chapter)
