Chapter 265: Temple of Light
Lan Yunyan gripped her sword tightly, protecting Ling Xiuhan behind her. The shadow wolves began to attack, lunging at him like black lightning.
Lan Yunyan cast a wind protection spell, and a strong wind swirled around them, temporarily blocking the Shadow Wolves' first round of charge.
But the Shadow Wolves quickly adjusted their strategy, began to disperse, and attacked from all directions.
Lan Yunyan brandished his sword, each strike carrying a sharp aura, trying to repel the Shadow Wolf.
Ling Xiu Han was behind her, suppressing the discomfort in his body, mobilizing the remaining strength in his body, forming seals with his hands, and chanting a spell.
I saw spikes protruding from the ground, piercing several approaching shadow wolves.
But the Shadow Wolves were too numerous, and regardless of casualties, they continued their frantic attack. A massive Shadow Wolf King seized the opportunity and pounced from above Lan Yunyan's head.
Lan Yunyan had no time to dodge and could only raise her sword to block. The Shadow Wolf King was extremely powerful, and its claws collided with Lan Yunyan's sword, splashing a string of sparks. Lan Yunyan was so shocked that her arm was numb and she retreated repeatedly.
Ling Xiuhan saw this, and a flicker of determination flashed in his eyes. He ignored the backlash of the power within him and forcibly merged the dark and light forces, forming a unique gray energy.
He injected this energy into Lan Yunyan's body, and Lan Yunyan immediately felt a powerful force surging in her heart.
She shouted loudly, and the flames on the sword burned even more vigorously. She swung the sword, and the powerful force pushed the Shadow Wolf King back several steps.
Taking advantage of the moment when the Shadow Wolves were stunned by this force, Lan Yunyan pulled Ling Xiuhan up and continued fleeing towards the Temple of Light. They finally saw the majestic outline of the Temple of Light at dawn.
However, as they approached the temple, they were blocked by the temple's protective barrier. Lan Yunyan shouted the names of the temple's guardians, begging them to open the barrier.
A moment later, a white-haired old man appeared in the barrier and looked at Ling Xiu Han with scrutiny.
"He is the descendant of the Lord of Darkness, but he has not been swallowed by the darkness. We come here to seek help." Lan Yunyan explained anxiously.
The old man shook his head lightly, his expression solemn: "Miss, the dark power in this child's body is the most evil in the world. My Holy Temple of Light has exhausted all its wisdom for thousands of years and has not found a way to resolve it.
His existence is like a dark star that could explode at any moment, bringing endless disaster to the world. We will never allow him to set foot in the temple."
Upon hearing this, Ling Xiuhan threw his head back and laughed heartily, his laughter filled with unbridled arrogance and pride. "Since the Holy Temple of Light is so cowardly, why should I force it? In this vast world, the land of the demons may be my final destination."
I want to see what kind of shocking and terrifying waves this dark force, despised by the world, can create in my hands! "
After he finished speaking, an evil aura emanated from his body, his black robe fluttering in the wind, like a demon in the dark night.
Lan Yunyan's eyes widened as she clutched Ling Xiuhan's sleeve tightly, "How can I be at ease if you're going to the Demon Tribe? I must go with you!"
Ling Xiuhan turned around and gently brushed her hand away, his eyes firm yet with a hint of tenderness: "Yunyan, the path to the demon clan is a life-or-death journey. Although you possess unparalleled courage, this journey is no ordinary one.
You still have many concerns and ties in this world, and I, born on the edge of darkness, am here to seek the truth about my origins and control my own destiny. Please stay and wait for my return."
Although Lan Yunyan felt extremely reluctant and unwilling, she knew that what Ling Xiuhan said was true.
She gritted her teeth, pulled out a jade pendant emitting a blue glow from her bosom, and handed it to Ling Xiuhan: "This is an ancestral jade pendant of my Lan family. It has the effect of calming the mind and resisting inner demons. If you carry it with you, it may be able to help you in times of danger."
Ling Xiu Han took the jade pendant and held it tightly in his palm, feeling the body temperature and breath of Lan Yunyan remaining on it.
He stared into Lan Yunyan's eyes and said, "Wait for me."
After saying that, he turned around resolutely and strode towards the demon's territory.
Lan Yunyan watched Ling Xiuhan's receding figure until he disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
She secretly vowed that during this period, she would practice hard and improve her strength. If Ling Xiu Han was still troubled by the darkness when he returned, she would do her best to help him out of the predicament.
Ling Xiu Han moved forward towards the demon territory. The closer he got to that area, the stronger the dark aura in the air became.
The scenery along the way gradually became eerie and strange. The dead trees twisted their branches, as if struggling in pain. The flowers and plants on the ground also turned a strange black color and emitted a foul smell.
Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, thunder rumbled, and black lightning flashed through the clouds like giant pythons.
Immediately afterwards, a group of demonic bats emerged from the darkness, their eyes flashing blood-red light and their sharp claws gleaming coldly in the darkness.
Ling Xiu Han stopped, his eyes revealing a hint of vigilance and excitement. He slowly raised his hands, and dark power surged in his palms, echoing with the dark aura around him.
The demon bats rushed towards him like a tide. Ling Xiu Han was not in a hurry. He recited an ancient dark spell. A black shield instantly formed around his body. The demon bats collided with the shield, splashing black sparks.
Then, Ling Xiu Han waved his hands, and the dark power turned into countless black spikes, shooting towards the group of demon bats like raindrops, instantly knocking down many bats.
However, the demon bats were numerous and they quickly adjusted their attack methods, circling around Ling Xiu Han and continuously releasing black sonic attacks.
Ling Xiu Han only felt a sharp pain in his head, but he endured it and concentrated the dark power in his body into his ears, forming a defensive barrier.
At the same time, he shouted loudly, and a powerful impact force burst out from his body, shaking away the surrounding demon bats.
After a bitter battle, Ling Xiuhan finally freed himself from the demon bats and continued deeper into the demonic territory. He came to a broad, dark river, its water emitting a pungent odor that seemed to corrode everything.
