Chapter 174 Contradictions and Dilemmas
Huan Yuechu showed no fear in the face of the black-robed man's threat. Instead, she hugged the Shattered Spirit Pearl tightly and responded coldly.
"Don't even think about it! You wicked and evil-doer, even if it means fighting to the death, I will never let you succeed."
Upon hearing this, the man in black robes couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
He suddenly waved his wand, and in an instant, a surging, extremely powerful dark force swept towards Huan Yuechu like a tidal wave.
Huan Yuechu dared not be careless in the slightest. Her figure was as nimble as a swallow, dodging left and right, skillfully avoiding wave after wave of attacks from the black-robed man.
Not only that, she also took advantage of the gap to channel her spiritual power and launch a fierce counterattack.
For a time, the two went back and forth, neither willing to give in.
Just as the two sides were locked in a stalemate, a shout suddenly came from afar: "Chu'er, we're here to help you!"
It turned out that Su Jinyan and his companions had arrived at the scene in time.
Su Jinyan shouted loudly and charged forward first.
Seeing this, the others also unleashed their own unique skills, working together to attack the man in black.
Various dazzling spiritual lights intertwined, forming an incomparably powerful torrent of energy that fiercely pressed down on the dark power of the black-robed man.
Seeing the situation was dire, the man in black was greatly alarmed.
He never expected that these people could be so united and unleash such amazing fighting power.
However, the man in black robes was a veteran of countless battles, and he quickly calmed down and began searching for a breakthrough.
Finally, in a gap in the combined attack, the man in black robes seized a fleeting opportunity.
With a flicker, he vanished from the spot like a ghost.
The next moment, he appeared in front of Huan Yuechu like a ghost, stretching out his withered hand, attempting to take advantage of the chaos to snatch the incomparably precious Shattered Spirit Pearl.
Faced with the sudden turn of events, Huan Yuechu did not hesitate at all, instantly unleashing powerful spiritual energy to attack the man in black robes.
Meanwhile, Mu Yang and Su Jinyan, not to be outdone, unleashed their respective special skills and joined the fierce battle.
For a moment, the cave was filled with light, and the booming sounds of clashing weapons were deafening...
In that thrilling, life-or-death battle, Huan Yuechu's eyes were like torches, intently watching every change on the battlefield.
In a fleeting moment, she suddenly seized a perfect opportunity!
Without the slightest hesitation, Huan Yuechu flashed forward like an arrow released from a bow, her speed astonishing.
In the blink of an eye, she had reached the best position to deal with the man in black robes. At this moment, Huan Yuechu could not care about her own safety at all.
Knowing full well the immense energy and significance contained in this shattered spirit pearl, she unhesitatingly poured all her spiritual power into it.
As spiritual energy continued to flow in, the seemingly ordinary Shattered Spirit Pearl suddenly burst forth with dazzling light, and an incomparably powerful and violent force surged out from within the pearl.
With a deafening roar, a powerful force swept straight towards the black-robed man opposite him like a tidal wave.
The man in black robes had no time to react before he was struck hard by this surging force.
He flew straight backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground some distance away, raising a cloud of dust.
Upon successfully repelling the man in black robes, the Shattered Spirit Orb seemed to have completed its mission, transforming into a streak of light and swiftly flying back into the little girl's body.
At this moment, everyone present fell into deep thought—how should they deal with this sudden situation?
Should they protect the little girl, or try to seize the Shattered Spirit Pearl? Everyone was filled with conflicting emotions and struggled to make a decision…
Just as everyone was deadlocked and the atmosphere was so tense that it felt like a taut string was about to snap, Huan Yuechu broke the suffocating silence.
She slightly raised her head, her gaze fixed firmly ahead, and slowly said, "We absolutely cannot hurt her!"
Everyone has the right to life, and we cannot arbitrarily deprive someone of their life.
Her voice was clear and strong, like a warm breeze in the cold night, dispelling some of the heavy atmosphere.
Upon hearing this, the others all showed hesitation on their faces.
They exchanged a glance, each seemingly reading the inner struggle in the other's eyes.
However, when they saw Huan Yuechu's resolute gaze, their doubts and worries gradually dissipated, and they slowly lowered their previously high level of vigilance.
Just then, the little girl's tightly closed eyes trembled slightly, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, and she slowly woke up.
She stared blankly at the thronging crowd around her, her eyes filled with fear and helplessness, like a frightened fawn lost in a dense forest.
Seeing this, Huan Yuechu was extremely anxious. She rushed forward, bent down, and comforted her in a voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Little girl, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, we won't hurt you."
Su Jinyan, who had been standing silently by the side, stepped forward.
He frowned thoughtfully, pondered for a moment, and then suddenly his eyes lit up, and he made a suggestion.
"Everyone, I've thought of a way! Perhaps we can try to communicate with that shattered spirit orb? If it truly possesses sentience, it might willingly and proactively help us reinforce that crumbling seal."
This idea struck like lightning across the night sky, instantly igniting the flame of hope in everyone's hearts. They whispered among themselves, expressing their agreement with the plan.
With everyone's support, Huan Yuechu took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then carefully approached the little girl again.
With a smile, she asked in an increasingly gentle tone, "Young lady, could you lend us the Shattered Spirit Pearl for a moment? If it can help us complete this arduous task, we'll definitely return it intact afterwards."
Although the little girl was still very nervous, her fear gradually dissipated when she saw Huan Yuechu.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally mustered up her courage, nodded slightly, and agreed.
Overjoyed at receiving permission, Huan Yuechu reached out her slender hand and gently touched the little girl's body.
He focused intently on trying to establish a connection with the shattered spirit orb hidden deep within the little girl's body.
An amazing thing happened: the shattered spirit orb, which had been sleeping peacefully, seemed to have heard a summons.
It began to emit a faint light and slowly drifted out from the little girl's body...
