The fairy love story between Bi Yao and Li Yuan after traveling through time

Chapter 112: Shadows Arrive, Crisis Surges

A man in black robe appeared, the black sword in his hand emitting an ominous light, and the air seemed to freeze.

Li Yuan instinctively protected Bi Yao behind him, and a long sword shining with golden light appeared out of thin air in his hand. The sword body hummed, as if responding to its owner's fighting spirit.

"Who are you?" Li Yuan asked sternly, with a hint of vigilance in his tone.

The man in black robe did not answer, but just sneered, and disappeared in a flash.

The next moment, he appeared in front of Li Yuan, stabbing straight at him with a black sword.

Li Yuan reacted quickly, blocking with his sword, making a crisp metallic collision sound.

The two men instantly entangled in a fight, with swords flashing and strong winds howling.

Although Li Yuan had a high level of cultivation, the man in black robe had strange movements and vicious attacks, and for a while he could not gain the upper hand.

Bi Yao watched the battle anxiously from the side. She knew very well that her cultivation was still shallow and that if she intervened rashly, it would only drag down Li Yuan.

But she was not one to sit there and wait for death. She quickly calmed down and began to observe the black-robed man's moves, looking for his weaknesses.

The battle lasted for a long time, and Li Yuan gradually felt powerless. The attacks of the man in black robe became more and more fierce, and wounds began to appear on his body.

Bi Yao's heart tightened, she knew she couldn't wait any longer.

Just as the black-robed man was about to attack again, Bi Yao suddenly shouted, "Li Yuan, left!"

Li Yuan subconsciously dodged to the left and avoided the fatal blow from the man in black robe.

At the same time, a talisman flashing with lightning appeared in Bi Yao's hand, and she threw it at the man in black robe without hesitation.

The talisman exploded on the black-robed man with a deafening sound.

The black-robed man froze as he was struck by lightning, letting out a painful groan.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yuan launched another attack. The long sword in his hand turned into a golden light and pierced the black-robed man's chest.

The man in black robe was unable to dodge and was stabbed by the sword. He let out a scream, flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

Li Yuan was about to step forward to kill him, but he saw the man in black robe suddenly turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared.

"Not good!" Li Yuan's face changed, realizing that something was wrong.

At this moment, they suddenly felt dizzy and the scenery around them began to distort.

"Yao'er, be careful!" Li Yuan grabbed Bi Yao's hand and held her in his arms.

"What happened?" Bi Yao asked in horror.

"We... seem to have fallen into an illusion..." Li Yuan's voice became weaker and weaker, and everything in front of him became more and more blurry.

They seemed to be in chaos, and everything around them became unreal.

"Yao'er... remember... darkness..." Li Yuan's voice was intermittent and finally disappeared into the chaos...

Bi Yao felt his consciousness gradually dissipating, and darkness filled his eyes...

"Li Yuan..." She used up her last bit of strength and whispered his name...

Suddenly, she felt her body being lifted up by something...

"Wake up..." A strange voice sounded in my ears...

Bi Yao suddenly opened his eyes and found himself lying on a soft straw bed.

An old man with a white beard was standing beside her, looking at her with concern.

Li Yuan was unconscious beside her.

"Girl, you're awake." The old man said kindly.

Bi Yao rubbed his still aching head and tried hard to recall what happened before he fell into a coma.

Black-robed man, illusion, Li Yuan...

She sat up suddenly and checked Li Yuan's condition.

Fortunately, he was just unconscious and nothing serious happened.

"Where is this place?" Bi Yao asked the old man.

"This is Peach Blossom Spring, and I am the guardian here." The old man replied.

Bi Yao looked around and found himself in a place with beautiful scenery, like a paradise.

But at this moment she had no intention of appreciating the beautiful scenery. She had only one thought in her mind: to find the man in black robe and find out the truth of the matter.

"Thank you for saving me, old man." After thanking the old man, Bi Yao began to check the surrounding environment.

She keenly noticed that although Taohuayuan looked peaceful and tranquil, it concealed a strange aura.

She discovered that in the center of Peach Blossom Spring, there was an altar protected by a formation.

The fluctuations of the formation were extremely similar to the dark power she felt in the illusion.

Could this be the source of the dark power?

Bi Yao told Li Yuan about his discovery, and Li Yuan also thought that the altar was suspicious.

The two decided to go deeper into the altar to find out what was going on.

The area around the altar is filled with traps that can be triggered easily if you are not careful.

But Bi Yao, relying on modern knowledge and extraordinary wisdom, quickly found the control core of the mechanism and destroyed it.

Sharp spikes came from all directions, but stopped abruptly just inches away from them.

In the core of the mechanism, they found a fragment with mysterious runes.

This fragment exudes the same dark aura as the man in black robes.

"It seems we have found an important clue." Bi Yao held the fragment, a gleam in his eyes.

In order to find out the origin and meaning of the fragments, Bi Yao and Li Yuan decided to consult a respected wise man.

After listening to their story, the wise man's face became solemn.

"This fragment belongs to a forbidden power. You should not explore it too much."

"But if we don't find out the truth about the dark power, the world of immortals will face great danger." Li Yuan argued.

"Some things, the more you know, the more dangerous it is." The wise man shook his head, "You should go and stop investigating this matter."

"We can't just sit back and do nothing!" Bi Yao's attitude was also very firm.

The wise man sighed, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

"In that case, don't blame me for being rude." He made seals with his hands and muttered something.

“Roar——” A deafening roar was heard and the ground began to shake violently.

"What is this?!" Bi Yao exclaimed.

The wise man looked at them coldly and said word by word: "Guardian beasts." As soon as the wise man finished speaking, several cracks appeared on the ground, and three huge guardian beasts broke out of the ground, making a deafening roar.

They looked like unicorns, but were surrounded by black mist. Their scarlet eyes were filled with hostility, and their sharp claws flashed with cold light as they pounced towards Bi Yao and Li Yuan.

The surrounding trees were knocked down by the huge body of the divine beast, making a teeth-grinding cracking sound. The small animals in the forest fled in panic. For a moment, sand and stones flew everywhere, and all the grass and trees looked like enemies.

Li Yuan was not afraid at all. The golden sword in his hand shone brightly and turned into a golden lightning, rushing towards one of the beasts.

The sword energy surged and collided with the sharp claws of the divine beast, making a harsh metallic sound.

He was agile and moved around the huge body of the divine beast, looking for opportunities to attack.

Bi Yao did not attack the divine beast directly. She knew very well that with her current level of cultivation, a head-on confrontation would only result in her death.

Holding the fragments in her hands, she carefully observed the movements of the mythical beasts and found that although they were incredibly powerful, their attack rhythm was slightly slow, as if they were disturbed by some force.

A bold idea emerged in her mind.

She injected her spiritual power into the fragments, and the runes on the fragments suddenly emitted a dazzling light. A strange power wave spread out, disrupting the actions of the divine beast.

The beast's movements became slower and its attacks lost their accuracy. Li Yuan seized the opportunity and swung the sword in his hand even faster. Sharp sword energy fell on the beast, leaving deep wounds.

A divine beast let out a painful wail, and its huge body fell to the ground with a loud bang, turning into a cloud of black mist and dissipating.

Seeing this, the other two divine beasts became even more violent and attacked even more fiercely.

Li Yuan gradually felt overwhelmed and several wounds appeared on his body.

Upon seeing this, Bi Yao immediately increased his spiritual power output. The light on the fragments became more dazzling, and the movements of the beast became slower, almost unable to move.

Li Yuan seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and concentrated all his spiritual power into the sword. The golden sword emitted a dazzling light and turned into a huge golden light column, rushing straight into the sky, and then slashed down fiercely, splitting the two beasts in two.

The divine beast let out a shrill scream, turned into two balls of black mist, and disappeared without a trace.

The dust settled and the surroundings returned to calm, with only the mess on the ground as a reminder of the fierce battle that had just taken place.

Li Yuan was leaning on a sword, his body covered in blood and his breathing disordered.

Bi Yao quickly stepped forward to support him, "Are you okay?"

Li Yuan shook his head and looked at the fragment in Bi Yao's hand with a complicated expression, "The power of this fragment..."

Bi Yao held the fragment tightly, his eyes determined, "We must find out where it came from."

The wise man looked at the beast lying on the ground, his face pale, and muttered to himself: "It's actually...it's really..."

The wise man sat dejectedly on the ground with a complicated expression.

"Forget it, forget it. This is God's will. How can human power stop it?" He sighed and slowly told the secret he knew.

It turns out that this dark force did not appear out of thin air, but originated from the fairy world itself and is an indispensable part of the balance between light and darkness.

For thousands of years, a mysterious force has sealed it, but now, the seal seems to be loosening.

The man in black robe took advantage of this dark force that was ready to move.

Bi Yao and Li Yuan were shocked when they heard this. They didn't expect that the roots of this dark power were so profound.

The wise man handed them an ancient jade slip, which contained some information about the sealed place.

That is the Ice Valley located in the far north, covered with ice and snow all year round and rarely visited by people.

After bidding farewell to the wise man, Bi Yao and Li Yuan immediately set off for the Ice Valley.

Along the way, they encountered attacks from various monsters, but they defeated them one by one.

Bi Yao's wit and Li Yuan's swordsmanship work together perfectly, and they can escape danger even when facing powerful monsters.

Finally, they arrived at the Ice Valley.

The biting cold wind mixed with ice and snow hit them mercilessly.

The valley was silent except for the howling sound of wind and snow.

They followed the instructions on the jade slip and found the sealed place.

It was a huge iceberg with a huge formation on the top of the mountain, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere.

However, when they approached the formation, a powerful force pushed them back.

"It's a restriction!" Li Yuan steadied himself, his face solemn.

The power of this restriction was far beyond their imagination. Even if they joined forces, they could not shake it in the slightest.

Bi Yao carefully observed the restriction and found that it was engraved with complex runes. These runes emitted a strange light and seemed to contain some powerful power.

She tried to use her spiritual power to touch the restriction, but found that the spiritual power was absorbed by the restriction and had no effect at all.

"This restriction seems to require some special key to open." Bi Yao said after thinking for a moment.

Li Yuan nodded, "Looks like we have to find another way."

At this moment, they suddenly heard a cold voice in their ears: "Haha, I didn't expect you to find this place."

Bi Yao and Li Yuan were startled and looked in the direction of the sound. They saw a man in black robe slowly walking out from behind the iceberg, holding a black sword in his hand. It was the man in black robe who had fought with them before.

"Who are you?" Li Yuan asked sternly.

The black-robed man sneered, "Who am I? I am the one who controls darkness!" He raised the black sword in his hand and pointed it at Bi Yao and Li Yuan, "You, become the sacrifices of darkness!"

As the black-robed man finished speaking, suddenly, the formation above the iceberg began to vibrate violently, emitting a dazzling light.

"What's going on?" Bi Yao exclaimed.

The black-robed man's expression changed drastically. "Oh no! The seal is about to be broken!"

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the formation on top of the iceberg exploded, and a powerful dark force gushed out, sweeping across the entire Ice Valley...

The black-robed man laughed wildly, "Haha, darkness is coming! The world will succumb to darkness!"

Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other, feeling uneasy.

"It seems that the real battle has just begun..." Li Yuan gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes firm.

Bi Yao took out the mysterious fragment. The runes on it shone with a strange light, as if responding to the dark power...

She looked at Li Yuan, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"go!"

The two of them flew up and headed towards the center of the dark power...
