Let you be a good grandson, you raise a group of banshees?

As the night deepened, the sound of the wind outside the cave gradually became lower, as if the earth was whispering softly.

Lu Yuan sat at the entrance of the cave, his eyes as sharp as torches, staring quietly into the distance.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao took a short rest on the other side of the cave.

Although they felt tired, none of them could really relax.

The threat of the Dark Sect still hangs over their heads, like a sword that may fall at any time.

"The power of the Dark Devil Sect is so deeply hidden, this journey is destined to be a bumpy one."

Lu Yuan thought silently in his heart.

He understood that everything that was going to happen next would be even more dangerous.

"Brother Lu Yuan, you should take a rest too."

Ye Ling'er said softly, walking up to him with a look of concern on her face.

Chu Yao also nodded, walked over and said, "Let's take turns to keep watch. You haven't had a rest all day."

Lu Yuan shook his head, his voice low but firm: "No, I will keep watch tonight, you guys go to rest first."

He knew that in a situation like this, every bit of vigilance could mean the difference between life and death.

Ye Ling'er looked at Lu Yuan's determined face and felt a warmth in her heart, but she was unable to persuade him anymore. She could only quietly go back to the side and lean against Chu Yao.

Time passed slowly, the sound of the wind outside the cave was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, and occasionally there were a few unknown animal calls.

Suddenly, Lu Yuan's eyes became sharp, and he felt a faint but extremely dangerous aura approaching.

He gripped the Xuanyuan Sword tightly, his body slightly tense, ready to meet the enemy at any time.

"There is a situation."

Lu Yuan's voice was low, reminding Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao.

The two men immediately woke up from their half-sleep and tightened their weapons.

The sound of the wind outside the cave suddenly became violent, mixed with flying sand and stones, as if some ominous force was approaching.

"This breath..."

Lu Yuan frowned, he could clearly feel that this was a force full of evil.

At this moment, several dark shadows flashed past the cave like lightning and quickly surrounded the cave entrance.

"It's the assassin from the Black Demon Sect!"

Chu Yao shouted in a low voice, her expression suddenly becoming serious.

"It's the Dark Sect indeed. They came so quickly!"

Ye Ling'er also felt this strong sense of oppression, and the dagger trembled slightly in her hand.

"Don't panic."

Lu Yuan said coldly, and then the Xuanyuan Sword was suddenly unsheathed, and the sword tip flashed a cold light in the faint firelight.

"They are hiding in the shadows, and we have to take the initiative."

He spoke softly, and then his figure rushed towards the cave entrance like a ghost. The Xuanyuan Sword drew a dazzling sword light in the air and headed straight for the black shadows.

"Whoosh!"

A black poison dart suddenly shot out from the darkness and went straight for Lu Yuan's throat.

Lu Yuan was prepared and he dodged the fatal blow with a quick flash.

"mean!"

Chu Yao shouted coldly, and swung the sword suddenly, with a strong sword energy heading towards the black shadow.

"Oh!"

The black shadow was knocked back a few steps by the sword energy, but did not retreat completely. Instead, it quickly rushed forward again, and the flashes of swords and shadows instantly covered the cave entrance.

"We must break their siege."

Lu Yuan let out a low shout, and the Xuanyuan Sword burst out with an even stronger sword energy, and the sword tip slashed towards the enemy in front like thunder.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao followed closely behind, daggers and swords intertwined, and every move was deadly.

The black shadows were obviously professionally trained killers. Their attacks were fierce and precise, and their movements were strange and unpredictable.

"The strength of these assassins should not be underestimated."

Lu Yuan thought to himself. He knew he couldn't continue to fight with them and had to find a chance to break out. "I'll cover you, you rush out."

As he spoke, the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand suddenly burst out with a sword light, and the powerful spiritual power instantly repelled the dark shadows around him.

"Ye Ling'er, Chu Yao, hurry up!"

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao did not hesitate, they knew that Lu Yuan was buying time at the moment.

"We'll wait for you outside."

Chu Yao said in a low voice, and then she and Ye Ling'er quickly rushed out of the cave.

The dark shadows obviously realized Lu Yuan's intention and immediately sent several people to chase Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao.

"Your opponent is me."

Lu Yuan sneered, and the Xuanyuan Sword was swung out instantly. The sword energy slashed towards the black shadows like a gust of wind.

"It's not that easy to get past me."

The sword energy instantly forced back the black shadows, and Lu Yuan's figure shuttled among them like a ghost. Every time the Xuanyuan Sword was swung, it would take the life of an enemy.

The black shadows obviously didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so powerful, and were caught off guard for a moment.

"retreat!"

The leading black shadow shouted in a low voice, then led the remaining killers to retreat quickly and disappeared into the night.

Lu Yuan did not pursue them. He knew that these assassins were sent by the Black Demon Sect to test him, and their real purpose was to consume his strength.

"The Dark Demon Sect is still watching from the dark."

He whispered, a cold gleam in his eyes.

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao walked back from not far away, and both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Lu Yuan was safe and sound.

"Brother Lu Yuan, are you okay?"

Ye Ling'er asked with concern, her face full of nervousness.

Chu Yao also stepped forward, with a look of worry in her eyes: "Those people just now were really difficult to deal with, will they come again?"

Lu Yuan shook his head and said in a low voice: "They won't do anything again for the time being."

"These people are just sent by the Black Demon Sect to test us. The real crisis is yet to come."

Ye Ling'er and Chu Yao looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy.

"We can't stay here any longer, we have to keep going."

Lu Yuan said in a deep voice, and then quickly left the cave with the two of them.

Under the moonlight, the figures of the three people quickly disappeared into the mountains in the distance.

Lu Yuan's heart was still full of vigilance. He knew that the real challenge had just begun.

"The Dark Sect has already realized our existence. They will never let us go easily."

He thought silently in his heart, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

No matter how dangerous it is, he must move forward.

This battle between good and evil is destined not to be easy.

In the distant sky, a ray of dawn light can be seen faintly.

This is a journey destined to be bloody.

However, Lu Yuan's steps remained firm.

No matter how many unknown dangers lie ahead, he will not retreat.

This is his destiny and his responsibility.

The future of the martial arts world is firmly grasped by the edge of his sword.

The faint light of morning sun shone on the mountains, and the figures of Lu Yuan and his two companions disappeared into the woods.

They had been running for several hours, and the assassins sent by the Black Demon Sect were still tracking them in secret.

Lu Yuan knew very well that the enemy's goal was to wear down their physical strength and then give them a fatal blow when they were exhausted.

"We have fallen into the Dark Gate's trap and must find another way out."

Lu Yuan said in a low voice, scanning the surrounding environment vigilantly. (End of this chapter)
