Chapter Fifteen: The Mysterious Man's Conspiracy
Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen faced the mysterious person at the door, their eyes filled with vigilance.
The mysterious figure was completely shrouded in a black cloak, obscuring his face, but the aura emanating from him sent chills down one's spine.
"Don't even think about taking anything from us!" Liu Yu roared, gripping his sword tightly.
Bai Suzhen also used her magic, her body glowing faintly, ready to deal with the mysterious man's attack at any time.
The mysterious man sneered, "You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences!" With that, he waved his hands, and a cloud of black smoke swept towards Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen.
Liu Yu swiftly swung his sword, attempting to cleave through the smoke, but the smoke seemed to possess a tangible quality, tightly binding his sword. Seeing this, Bai Suzhen chanted incantations and conjured a water curtain, trying to block the smoke from approaching.
However, the mysterious man's magic was extremely powerful, and the water curtain gradually weakened under the erosion of the smoke.
Just then, Liu Yu suddenly remembered a magical artifact he had obtained from the castle—the Spirit Light Jade Pendant. He quickly took the pendant out of his robes and infused it with magical power. The pendant instantly emitted a bright light, dispelling the black smoke.
The mysterious man was slightly surprised, "I didn't expect you to have such a treasure."
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Yu charged towards the mysterious man with his sword. The mysterious man dodged to the side, easily avoiding Liu Yu's attack, and at the same time swung his hand back, a powerful force knocking Liu Yu back.
Bai Suzhen rushed forward to support Liu Yu, "Liu Lang, are you alright?"
Liu Yu gritted her teeth and said, "I'm fine, I'll keep fighting him!"
The mysterious figure launched another attack, this time wielding a black staff with an eerie glow at its tip. With a swing, beams of black light shot towards Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen.
Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen dodged left and right, avoiding the attacks of the light. But the room was too small, and they gradually found themselves in a predicament.
“This can’t go on; we must find his weakness,” Liu Yu said.
Bai Suzhen nodded. "I'll use magic to create an illusion to distract him, and you can take the opportunity to attack."
Having said that, Bai Suzhen formed hand seals and chanted incantations. Instantly, countless phantoms appeared in the room, making it difficult for the mysterious man to distinguish between reality and illusion.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Yu rushed forward and thrust his weapon at the mysterious man's back. The mysterious man noticed Liu Yu's attack and turned to block it with his staff.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, the mysterious man suddenly burst into laughter, "You think you can defeat me like this? How naive!"
With a wave of his staff, a powerful force erupted, blasting Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen away.
They fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood.
"Do you know why I want to take what you got from the island?" the mysterious man said slowly.
Liu Yu glared at him, "No matter what your purpose is, we won't let you succeed!"
The mysterious man sneered, "The treasures and magical artifacts on that island contain immense power, capable of opening a passage to a mysterious world. And in that world, there lies the secret to achieving immortality and possessing limitless power."
Bai Suzhen said, "You have resorted to such unscrupulous means for your own selfish desires."
The mysterious man said, "Hmph, who in this world doesn't want eternal life and immense power? As long as you hand over the item to me, I can spare your lives."
Liu Yu said, "Don't even think about it! We will never let you succeed."
The mysterious man's face darkened. "Since that's the case, then you can all die!"
He raised his staff again, preparing to deliver the fatal blow.
Just at this critical moment, a bird's cry suddenly came from the sky. A huge crane descended from the sky, with an old man sitting on its back.
The old man had an air of otherworldly wisdom and held a whisk in his hand.
"Demon, stop hurting people!" the old man shouted.
The mysterious man's face turned extremely ugly when he saw the old man. "You old codger, you actually came to ruin my plans!"
The old man smiled slightly, "Those who do many evil deeds will surely perish. Today is your last day."
Having said that, the old man waved his whisk, and a beam of light shot towards the mysterious man. The mysterious man hurriedly used his staff to defend himself, but he gradually could not withstand the old man's powerful magic.
In the end, the mysterious man was subdued by the old man.
Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen looked at the old man gratefully, "Thank you for saving us, senior."
The old man said, "No need to be polite. This evil spirit has committed many wicked deeds, and I have been searching for him. I never expected that he would set his sights on you."
Liu Yu asked, "Senior, does that mysterious world he spoke of really exist?"
The old man nodded. "It is true, but it is not a place that ordinary people can set foot in. It is full of unknown dangers and temptations, and if one is not careful, he will be doomed."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen felt a wave of fear wash over them.
The old man continued, “The treasures and magical artifacts you obtained from the island should be used wisely, and you must not be driven by greed.”
Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen nodded solemnly.
The old man smiled slightly, "Alright, this matter is settled, I should be going now."
After saying this, the old man rode on a crane and disappeared into the sky.
After this ordeal, Liu Yu and Bai Suzhen cherish each other even more and understand that the power of the world is not for selfish desires, but for protecting justice and true love.
They decided to use the treasure and magical artifacts to benefit the world and continue living a peaceful and happy life.
