Traveling through the world of immortal cultivation: My system is amazing

Chapter 611: A New Dangerous Journey Begins: Xiao Bei Faces Another Test

The spiritual energy around him began to fluctuate, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. This sudden change made Xiao Bei's heart alarm bells ring.

The joy of victory has not yet faded, but it has been replaced by an inexplicable sense of crisis.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on the sword, and the sword made a clear sound, as if responding to the master's vigilance.

There was a tension in the air, like the calm before the storm.

"Be careful!" Xiao Bei warned in a deep voice, his eyes like torches scanning the surroundings.

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of dark shadows emerged from the chaotic spiritual energy. Their figures were erratic, like ghosts, making them elusive.

The shadow's movements were strange and swift, bringing with them a heart-pounding sense of oppression.

Xiao Bei took the lead in launching the attack. His figure flashed and he turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the black shadow. He waved the long sword in his hand, and the sword energy was rampant. The sharp sword moves came with the sound of breaking through the air and went straight towards the black shadow.

However, the black shadow seemed illusory and easily avoided Xiao Bei's attack without suffering any harm.

"Li'er, be careful!" Xiao Bei reminded.

Beili understood what he meant, raised her jade hand slightly, and used powerful magic.

I saw golden rays of light shooting out from her fingertips, streaking across the sky like meteors, complementing Xiao Bei's sword moves, forming an impenetrable attack net.

However, facing the joint attack of the two, the black shadows strangely split apart, their number increased exponentially, and they rushed towards them like a tide.

Xiao Bei and Bei Li were caught off guard for a moment and were forced to retreat repeatedly by the black shadow.

"I'm here to help you!" Elder Stardust and Xuanfeng immediately joined the battle upon seeing this.

Elder Stardust held a staff in his hand and muttered something. Powerful spells gushed out from the staff and hit the black shadow.

Xuanfeng was agile and moved quickly between the shadows like a cheetah. The dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, and every attack could accurately hit the shadow's weakness.

The four of them cooperated with each other and the battle was extremely fierce.

The surrounding flowers, plants and trees were shaken to the ground by the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, and some weaker plants were even shattered and turned into powder.

"These black shadows... seem to have no substance!" Elder Stardust said in a deep voice while resisting the attacks of the black shadows.

Xiao Bei also discovered this. Although his sword moves were sharp, they could not cause any substantial damage to the black shadow.

"Could it be..." A thought suddenly flashed through Xiao Bei's mind, "Is this... an illusion?"

At this moment, a black shadow suddenly broke through their defense and headed straight for Beili.

"Li'er!" Xiao Bei exclaimed and wanted to rescue her, but it was too late.

The black shadow instantly enveloped Beili, and Beili's figure disappeared in the shadow.

"Beili!" Xiao Bei roared. He swung his sword fiercely, forcing back the surrounding dark shadows, and then rushed towards the place where Beili disappeared.

"Xiao Bei, calm down!" Elder Xingchen shouted, "Don't be impulsive!"

However, Xiao Bei no longer listened to any advice. He had only one thought in his mind, which was to rescue Bei Li.

Xiao Bei watched Bei Li being swallowed by the black shadow, his heart aching.

He thought he had completely eliminated the demonic threat and protected the peace of the fairy world, but he didn't expect the new threat to come so suddenly.

Were all the previous efforts in vain?

A feeling of powerlessness and self-doubt washed over him, his attacks became hesitant, his brows furrowed, and the anxiety in his heart entangled him like vines.

The air around seemed to be frozen, and the oppressive atmosphere was suffocating.

"Xiao Bei! Cheer up!" Elder Stardust's voice exploded like thunder, pulling Xiao Bei back from his confusion.

Xiao Bei took a deep breath and tried to calm the distracting thoughts in his mind.

He knew that now was not the time to doubt himself, as Beili was still waiting for him to save her.

He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, and his eyes became firm again.

At the same time, Xuanfeng stopped attacking, contrary to his usual behavior.

He stood where he was, staring at the shadows, carefully observing their movements.

Elder Xingchen was puzzled when he saw this: "Xuanfeng, what are you doing?"

Xiao Bei was also worried about Xuan Feng's safety. He shouted, "Xuan Feng, be careful!"

However, Xuanfeng ignored their shouts and continued to observe the black shadow intently.

Suddenly, he raised his head and shouted to Xiao Bei and Elder Xingchen: "I know their weaknesses!"

This sentence was like a bright light in the darkness, rekindling the hope of Xiao Bei and Elder Xingchen.

They looked at Xuanfeng in surprise, waiting for his explanation.

Xuan Feng pointed at the shadows and said, "Although they have no physical form, they are afraid of..." He paused, his eyes sweeping across the surrounding shadows, and lowered his voice to say, "Afraid of... sunlight."

The black shadow seemed to sense that its weakness was exposed and let out a shrill scream, like countless steel needles piercing the eardrum.

They no longer dispersed, but quickly gathered together to form a huge black vortex, emitting a suffocating sense of oppression.

In the center of the vortex, a powerful energy is gathering, and the surrounding air seems to be distorted, making crackling sounds.

"Not good!" Elder Stardust's face changed drastically. The intensity of this energy was far beyond their expectations.

The black vortex suddenly spewed out a thick black beam of light, heading straight for Xiao Bei.

At the critical moment, Xiao Bei pushed Bei Li away and took the blow himself.

The huge impact force knocked him away, and he fell heavily to the ground like a kite with a broken string.

A mouthful of blood gushed out, staining the ground red.

"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li's heart-wrenching cry resounded through the sky.

She rushed towards Xiao Bei desperately, but was blocked by the black shadows that kept appearing.

She waved the magic weapon in her hand, and the golden light cut through the black shadows like a sharp blade, but it was like a drop in the ocean, unable to break through their encirclement.

Despair overwhelmed her like a tide, and tears blurred her vision.

The air around seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

Time seemed to stand still, leaving only Beili's desperate cries and the black shadow's screams intertwined together to form a tragic elegy.

Beili tried his best and finally broke through the blockade of the black shadow, staggering to Xiao Bei's side.

She trembled as she helped Xiao Bei up, tears rolling down like pearls from a broken string, dripping onto Xiao Bei's pale face.

"Xiao Bei, how are you?" Her voice trembled, full of worry and fear.

Xiao Bei opened his eyes with difficulty, and seeing Bei Li's anxious expression, he tried to force a smile and said weakly: "Li'er, don't worry... I'm fine..." He gently held Bei Li's hand, feeling the warmth in her palm, and a warm current surged into his heart.

"It's all my fault... I've implicated you..." Bei Li cried in self-blame and hugged Xiao Bei tightly.

"Silly...what nonsense are you talking about..." Xiao Bei gently stroked Bei Li's hair, his eyes full of love and pity, "Protecting you...is my responsibility..."

The two hugged each other tightly, and each other's body temperature conveyed warmth in the cold air.

This moment of warmth is particularly precious in this crisis-ridden environment.

Suddenly, Xuanfeng stood up abruptly, staring into the distance with a sharp gaze, and said in a hurried tone: "Not good! They..."

Beili's cries pierced Xiao Bei's heart like a sharp blade.

He endured the severe pain, slowly sat up, and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"I'm fine..." His voice was hoarse, but with unquestionable firmness.

The spiritual energy in his body surged, and an unprecedented power awakened in him.

He felt a burning breath rising from his dantian and flowing through his body, as if it was going to burn him to ashes.

He took a deep breath and slowly raised his hands, palms facing up.

A ball of crimson flame ignited in his palm, jumping and making crackling sounds.

The light from the flames reflected on his face, illuminating his determined eyes.

He felt the powerful force contained in the flame, as if it could burn everything.

"This is..." Elder Stardust looked at the flame in Xiao Bei's hand in surprise, feeling the burning breath, his heart filled with shock.

"Heaven-burning flame!" Xiao Bei growled and thrust out the flame in his hand.

The flames roared out like a fire dragon. Wherever it went, the dark shadows screamed miserably and turned into wisps of black smoke and dissipated.

The light of the flames illuminated the entire battlefield, dispelled the darkness, and brought light and hope.

Beili watched Xiao Bei's rebirth from the fire

Xiao Bei's eyes were as sharp as torches as he swept across the remaining black shadows, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

He waved his hands again, and streaks of flames streaked across the sky like meteors, hitting each black shadow accurately.

The burning sound of flames and the screams of black shadows intertwined together, forming an exciting battle melody.

The number of black shadows was decreasing, and they began to feel fear and retreat.

However, Xiao Bei had no intention of letting them go. He pursued them and eliminated all the remaining black shadows.

When the last black shadow disappeared, the surroundings returned to calm.

There was a faint smell of burning in the air, which was the residual smell after the black shadow was burned.

Xiao Bei slowly lowered his hands, and the flames went out.

He took a deep breath, feeling the peace after surviving the disaster.

"It's over..." Bei Li ran to Xiao Bei and hugged him tightly, with a hint of sob in her voice.

"Yes, it's over..." Xiao Bei gently stroked Bei Li's hair,

Elder Xingchen and Xuanfeng also came over with relieved smiles on their faces.

However, just as they let their guard down, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the distant sky.

A heart-pounding black aura emanated from the crack, as if it was the gate to hell.

"What is that..." Xuanfeng pointed at the crack, his tone full of uneasiness.

Xiao Bei looked at the crack in the distance that emitted an ominous aura with a firm gaze.

He held Beili's hand tightly and said, "Let's go."
