Chapter 879: Dark Conspiracy: Xiao Bei is Hard to Break
Xiao Bei's gaze was fixed on the surging darkness in the distance. The thick shadow spread in the air like ink, swallowing up all the light around it.
It was not simply darkness, but a terrifying evil force, as if it contained countless resentful souls and evil spirits, ready to devour anyone.
A biting chill seeped out from the darkness. Even with Xiao Bei's cultivation level, he felt a stinging pain in his skin, as if being pierced by countless tiny ice needles.
The air became thick and breathing became difficult, as if an invisible hand was strangling his throat.
A dangerous atmosphere permeated the sky and earth, making it suffocating.
A slender and warm hand tightly held Xiao Bei's hand.
Beili, she didn't say anything, but the warmth and strength of her palms conveyed silent support and concern.
Xiao Bei could feel the slight trembling of her palm
Suddenly, a cold laugh came from the darkness, like the cry of a night owl, which was creepy.
"Xiao Bei, long time no see. I didn't expect you to still be alive and well. It really surprises me." With the voice, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness.
He was wearing a black robe, his face hidden by the shadow of his hood, revealing only a pair of scarlet eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light.
Shadow Ghost King!
Seeing this figure, Xiao Bei's heart was filled with anger.
It was this guy who planned the conspiracy against him and the fairy world he protected!
"Shadow Ghost King, you finally show up!" Xiao Bei's voice was low and powerful, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, full of suppressed anger.
"Haha, Xiao Bei, you still overestimate your own abilities." The Shadow Ghost King's voice was filled with disdain. "Do you really think you can stop me? All your efforts are in vain."
Two powerful forces collided in the air, stirring up gusts of wind.
The surrounding trees were uprooted and the rocks collapsed, as if the end of the world was about to come.
There was a determination glimmer in Xiao Bei's eyes, and he was ready to fight.
At this moment, an old voice came from the sky: "Xiao Bei, don't be impulsive!" A white light flashed, and a figure with an immortal look appeared beside Xiao Bei.
It was none other than the Immortal Tianxuan.
"Master Tianxuan!" Xiao Bei was slightly stunned.
"Xiao Bei, now is not the time to fight him." Tianxuan Zhenren looked solemn, "His strength is far beyond your imagination, you must calm down and find a way to break the deadlock." Tianxuan Zhenren's words undoubtedly poured cold water on Xiao Bei, and made him struggle even more.
He longed for revenge and wanted to bring the Shadow Ghost King to justice, but he also knew that impulsiveness would only lead him into an irretrievable situation.
Xiao Bei gritted his teeth, veins popping out on his forehead. Finally, he slowly lowered his clenched fist...
"Okay, I'll listen to you."
The Shadow Ghost King let out a cold scream and drew a strange symbol in the air with his hands.
The black runes squirmed like living things, emitting a disgusting stench.
In an instant, a black energy wave visible to the naked eye spread out in all directions with the Shadow Ghost King as the center.
The immortal beings that were touched by this black energy wave roared in pain as if they were burned by a raging fire.
Their originally radiant skin quickly turned gray, their immortal power dissipated like silk being peeled off a cocoon, and their originally clear eyes were covered with a layer of deathly gray.
"Ah! My fairy power! My fairy power!" A young fairy covered her chest in pain. Her originally radiant face was now distorted and was about to be swallowed by the dark power.
"Save me! Save me!" Another immortal elder struggled to stretch out his hand, his body trembling constantly. His originally abundant mental strength was now like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
Xiao Bei looked at the hellish scene in front of him, and his heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.
These immortal beings were the ones he swore to protect with his life, but now they were suffering so much because of him. Guilt and self-blame surged into his heart like a tide.
His body trembled slightly, his clenched fists creaked, and his nails dug deep into his flesh, but he was completely unaware.
"Xiao Bei, is this what you call protection? Hahaha!" The Shadow Ghost King laughed arrogantly, his laughter full of ridicule and pride, "Watching them suffer but being unable to do anything, this is your fate!"
The Shadow Ghost King's mocking voice pierced Xiao Bei's eardrums like sharp needles, arousing endless anger deep in his heart.
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes burning with fire.
An unprecedented power surged within him, like a volcano about to erupt.
"Ah!" Xiao Bei let out an angry roar, and the immortal power in his body rushed out like a flood, instantly breaking through his own limits and rising to a new level.
Golden light burst out from him, illuminating the surrounding darkness.
He quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something, and a brand new magic technique took shape in his hands.
The golden light gathered into a huge lightsaber, emitting a sacred and inviolable power.
"Break!" Xiao Bei shouted loudly, and the lightsaber was like lightning that cut through the night sky, striking straight towards the Shadow Ghost King.
A hint of surprise finally appeared on the face of the Shadow Ghost King. He didn't expect that Xiao Bei could break through his own limits in such a short time.
However, he was not afraid at all, but became even more excited.
"Interesting! Really interesting!" The Shadow Ghost King licked his lips, his scarlet eyes flashing with bloodthirsty light, "Let me see what else you can do!"
The golden light collided with the black energy waves, making a deafening roar.
The dark atmosphere around was somewhat dispelled by the light of the immortal magic, and some creatures in the immortal world also got a chance to breathe.
However, this is just the beginning...
The Shadow Demon King raised a sinister smile and slowly raised his right hand...
The Shadow Ghost King sneered and drew a strange rune in the air with his right hand.
The black rune quickly spread across the ground like a twisted spider, and then suddenly exploded. A group of hideous dark puppets emerged from the broken runes.
They are tall and exude a foul odor. Ghostly green fire flickers in their empty eye sockets, and their sharp claws flash with cold light, which is chilling.
These dark puppets rushed towards Xiao Bei like arrows shot from a bow, roaring.
Xiao Bei's eyes flashed, and instead of retreating, he advanced, his figure moving between the puppets like a ghost.
He did not choose to confront it head-on, but instead cleverly took advantage of the surrounding terrain and led the puppet into an area full of sharp stalagmites.
The puppets moved clumsily and were pierced by stalagmites, making harsh metal friction sounds.
The Pure Land Monk clasped his hands together and chanted Buddhist scriptures.
Golden Buddha light emanated from his body, like sharp swords, shooting towards the dark puppets.
The puppet hit by the Buddha's light let out a painful wail, its body gradually melted, and finally turned into a wisp of black smoke and dissipated in the air.
Fairy Lingyu assisted in the defense. She waved the jade ruyi in her hand, and a series of green light curtains blocked the puppet's attack like a shield, protecting Xiao Bei and the Pure World Monk from harm.
Beili stood in the back, forming seals with his hands, continuously transmitting immortal power to Xiao Bei and the Pure World Monk.
Her eyes were firm and gentle, full of trust in Xiao Bei.
Feeling Beili's support, Xiao Bei's attacks became more fierce. The lightsaber in his hand danced like a dragon, and every swing took the lives of several puppets.
Xiao Bei and the Pure World Monk cooperated well with each other, and an invisible bond of trust formed between them.
Xiao Bei was responsible for attacking, and the Pure World Monk was responsible for purification. The two of them were capable of both offense and defense, and they resolved the attacks of the dark puppets one by one.
Suddenly, Xiao Bei's eyes fixed, he seemed to have discovered something... "Master, look..."
Xiao Bei's eyes were as sharp as torches, fixed on those slow-moving dark puppets.
He noticed that there was a faint green light flickering on the chests of the puppets. The light was so subtle and hidden that if it weren't for his amazing eyesight, he would not be able to detect it at all.
"Master, look at the chests of those puppets!" Xiao Bei said in a deep voice, while the lightsaber in his hand danced like the wind, killing several puppets again.
"There, there is a control core!"
When the Pure World Monk heard this, a hint of sternness flashed across his compassionate face.
He stopped chanting the Buddhist scriptures and concentrated all his strength in his palms.
The golden Buddha light gathered into a dazzling lotus in his palm. The lotus slowly rotated, emitting a sacred and powerful aura.
"Amitabha!" The Pure World Monk shouted softly and threw the golden lotus in his palm towards the dark puppet closest to him.
The lotus accurately hit the puppet's chest, and a dazzling light burst out instantly.
"puff!"
With a dull thud, the dark green light on the puppet's chest completely went out, and its tall body fell to the ground with a loud bang, turning into a pile of black debris.
The puppet that lost its control core was like a puppet with its strings cut, and instantly lost its ability to move.
Seeing this, Xiao Bei understood what he meant.
He flashed and appeared in front of another puppet like a ghost, and stabbed its chest with the lightsaber without mercy.
"Puff!" Another muffled sound was heard, and another puppet fell down.
The two of them worked together seamlessly, destroying the dark puppets with great ease.
The puppets that lost control fell to the ground one after another, and the originally eerie and terrifying battlefield gradually returned to calm.
Seeing his puppet army quickly disintegrate, the Shadow Ghost King could no longer remain calm.
His face twisted as he roared angrily, "Damn it! How dare you destroy my puppet!"
As the puppet dissipated, the power of the Shadow Ghost King was obviously weakened.
His originally solid body became somewhat illusory, and the black energy around him began to become thinner.
Seeing this, the people in the Immortal Realm were greatly encouraged and they all shouted Xiao Bei's name.
Xiao Bei's deeds of turning the tide and defeating the dark forces will surely spread widely in the fairy world, and his prestige will rise to new heights.
However, just as Xiao Bei and others were preparing to press on with their victory and completely defeat the Shadow Ghost King, the Shadow Ghost King suddenly let out a sinister laugh.
"Xiao Bei, even if I lose today, you won't have an easy time!" The Shadow Ghost King said hoarsely, "Do you think the fairyland you protect is really as beautiful as you see it? Haha... I'll tell you a secret, a secret that can shake the foundation of the fairyland!"
He paused, staring intently at Xiao Bei with his scarlet eyes, and said word by word: "Your life experience... is not what you know at all!"
This earth-shattering statement exploded in everyone's ears like thunder.
Everyone was stunned, staring blankly at the Shadow Ghost King.
"You...what did you say?" Beili's voice trembled, and he couldn't believe his ears.
Xiao Bei was like being struck by lightning, standing there, motionless.
His mind was blank, and countless questions flooded his mind.
"Hahaha... Xiao Bei, think about it carefully! Who are you? Whose son are you?" The Shadow Ghost King laughed wildly, his body gradually becoming transparent and finally disappearing into the darkness.
Only those words remained, echoing in the air for a long time.
Tianxuan Zhenren's face changed drastically, and he grabbed Xiao Bei's arm: "Xiao Bei, don't listen to his nonsense! He is disturbing your mind!"
Xiao Bei stood in place, the secret told by the Shadow Ghost King echoing in his mind. A long-forgotten question once again surfaced in his mind.
