Chapter 284 Strange 2
Years later, one day, sunlight streamed down the mountaintop. Lingyu sat alone, his gaze deep and distant, fixed on the peaceful village at the foot of the mountain. Although it was now a time of peace and prosperity, with people living in contentment and abundance, for some reason, a faint, inexplicable unease lingered in his heart.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps broke the silence on the mountaintop. A child, his face filled with panic, ran up the mountain, panting heavily. After catching his breath, the child urgently shouted to Lingyu, "Hero Lingyu! Something terrible has happened! Strange things are happening in the village. It seems like there are dark shadows wandering around in the shadows! Everyone is terrified!"
Upon hearing this, Ling Yu's heart tightened, and he immediately rose and sped towards the village at the foot of the mountain like an arrow. In a short while, he arrived at the village. As soon as he stepped into the village, a familiar dark aura rushed towards him. Although this aura was very weak, it was extremely sensitive to someone as experienced as Ling Yu who had been through many battles.
He dared not be negligent in the slightest and began to carefully search the area around the village. After a thorough search, Ling Yu finally stopped beside an ancient well at the back of the village. The well was surrounded by overgrown weeds, and a strange chill emanated from its opening. Ling Yu leaned down and peered into the well, where he could vaguely see something shimmering with a faint light deep within.
He steadied himself and used his lightness skill to leap into the well. Sure enough, in a corner at the bottom, he found an ancient book covered in thick dust. Ling Yu gently picked it up, but the instant he touched it, the previously faint aura of darkness suddenly intensified. Immediately afterward, a dark shadow shot out from the book, hurtling towards Ling Yu.
Faced with this sudden turn of events, Ling Yu reacted swiftly, rapidly chanting incantations and simultaneously forming hand seals to unleash a powerful spell to defend against the shadowy attack. The shadowy figure was temporarily blocked by Ling Yu's spell, but it didn't give up. Instead, it opened its mouth and let out a chilling roar: "Hmph! You ignorant fools! Did you really think that destroying me back then would ensure peace and stability for the world forever? Hahahaha… How naive! This is merely a lingering resentment from me. As long as this ancient book exists in the world, darkness will inevitably sweep across again, bringing endless disaster and suffering to this continent!" The shadowy figure let out a terrifying laugh, its voice echoing through the air, seemingly piercing the very soul.
Hearing the extremely arrogant words of the shadowy figure, Ling Yu's lips curled up slightly, revealing a disdainful sneer. His gaze sharpened as he stared intently at the arrogant figure before him, coldly replying, "Hmph, since that's the case, then today I'll simply destroy this ancient book, utterly annihilating your resentment, so you can never cause trouble again!" In the blink of an eye, before Ling Yu's words had even finished, he swung his right hand sharply, and instantly a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from his palm, rapidly condensing into a dazzling ball of light.
The beam of light, as dazzling as the sun in the sky, carried an invincible force, hurtling straight towards the ancient book that the black shadow had grasped at its lifeline. However, just as the light was about to strike the book, the black shadow suddenly lunged at the light like a madman, trying to shield the fatal blow with its own body.
Faced with the shadowy figure's desperate obstruction, Ling Yu inwardly cried out in alarm. If he couldn't destroy this ancient book in one fell swoop, the consequences would be unimaginable. Thinking this, he dared not hesitate for a moment. He immediately took a deep breath, mobilized all the spiritual power in his body, and unleashed his most powerful spell with all his might. In an instant, the already dazzling light intensified, like a bolt of lightning ripping through the night sky, slamming into the ancient book with overwhelming force.
With a deafening roar, thick smoke and blinding flames shot into the air. The mysterious ancient book, struck by this powerful force, instantly shattered into countless fragments, which scattered with the wind. As the book was destroyed, the dark figure that had been desperately clinging to life seemed to have lost its last lifeline. With a desperate scream, it vanished without a trace.
Looking at the village gradually returning to peace, Lingyu breathed a long sigh of relief. After this thrilling battle, he knew that although the threat posed by the shadowy figure had been temporarily eliminated, the road ahead was still full of unknowns and challenges. Therefore, he secretly resolved to be more vigilant and careful in the future, to always protect this hard-won peaceful homeland, and never allow any evil forces to have another chance.
