As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

Chapter 124: Journey of Exploration

In the sky, a strange light appeared like a huge crack, tearing the night apart.

The light seemed to hide endless secrets, emitting a mysterious and dangerous aura.

The villagers looked up one after another, their faces filled with fear and confusion.

The light was so brilliant that it was like a miracle descending from the sky, inspiring awe.

"What is that?" Xiaoxuan pointed to the sky, her voice trembling.

Ding Chen and Master Murong exchanged glances quickly, and both of their expressions became solemn.

Ding Chen clenched his fists and said firmly, "We must find out what's going on. This light is definitely not simple."

Master Murong nodded gently.

Bai Ling narrowed her eyes, a strange smile on her lips, and whispered, "It seems that things are not over yet..." She jumped on the horse, waved the long whip in her hand, and pointed to the distance, "Let's go!"

Although the villagers were full of doubts, when they saw the determination of Ding Chen and others, the fear in their hearts was gradually replaced by ignited fighting spirit.

They all picked up their weapons and followed Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan on an unknown journey of exploration.

The road is rough, full of thorns and traps.

Every step is full of danger, but Ding Chen holds Xiaoxuan's hand tightly, as if telling her: no matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will always protect her.

Xiaoxuan's eyes are also full of trust and support

Master Murong led the villagers and moved forward cautiously.

There was a glimmer of determination in their eyes, and they seemed ready to face any challenge.

Bai Ling was riding on the horse with a stern expression, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, a sharp alarm sounded in my ears, and countless traps and mechanisms suddenly appeared on the road ahead.

Bai Ling immediately turned her horse around and shouted, "Everyone be careful, there's a trap here!"

Ding Chen reacted quickly and pulled Xiaoxuan to dodge quickly.

Master Murong also quickly ordered the villagers to disperse and avoid the traps.

Despite their caution, some people still got hit and fell to the ground injured.

Ding Chen was furious.

"Everyone follow me, don't fall behind!" Ding Chen's voice was firm and powerful, like a bright light, pointing the way for everyone.

Everyone gritted their teeth and persevered, moving forward with difficulty.

Finally, they came to a narrow valley. At the end of the valley, the strange light became brighter, as if calling them.

At this moment, a group of mysterious men in black suddenly appeared on both sides of the valley. They stared at Ding Chen and his group with indifference, and their tone was filled with unquestionable orders: "This is a forbidden area, do not approach."

Ding Chen's eyes instantly became sharp. He held Xiaoxuan's hand tightly and whispered, "No matter what happens, don't be afraid."

Xiaoxuan nodded, a determined light flashing in her eyes, and replied softly: "With you here, I'm not afraid."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ding Chen stepped forward and led everyone to face the unknown challenges.

Men in black emerged from both sides of the valley like ghosts. They were dressed in night clothes, their faces covered by black scarves, revealing only a pair of cold and ruthless eyes.

The leader, a burly man holding a long sword gleaming with cold light, said in a stern tone, "This is a forbidden area. Anyone who trespasses will die!"

Ding Chen was not afraid at all and sneered: "Forbidden area? There is no place in this world that I, Ding Chen, cannot go to!" His aura suddenly changed, and a fierce murderous aura spread out, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, pointing directly at the man in black.

Young Master Murong stood beside Ding Chen with a smile on his face, but he couldn't hide the coldness in his eyes: "It seems that a fierce battle is inevitable today." He gently waved the folding fan in his hand, looking calm and composed, but people felt an invisible pressure.

Xiaoxuan's eyes swept over the man in black. She pondered for a moment and whispered a few words into Ding Chen's ear.

After hearing this, Ding Chen and Master Murong both showed a confident smile on their faces.

The leader of the men in black felt a little uneasy when he saw the three men were so calm.

He waved his hand, and the man in black behind him immediately took an attacking stance, ready to capture Ding Chen and others.

"Their weakness is three inches below the left ribs. Attack there!" Ding Chen's voice exploded like thunder, instantly breaking the tranquility of the valley.

Upon hearing this, Master Murong closed the folding fan in his hand, which turned into a sharp dagger. He flashed and rushed into the crowd of people in black.

His swordsmanship was exquisite and every move was deadly. Every time he attacked, he hit the black-clad man's weakness.

The man in black obviously did not expect that his weakness would be discovered. For a moment, his formation was in chaos and he was defeated.

They looked at Ding Chen and Master Murong in horror.

Ding Chen sneered: "It's too late to be afraid now!" His figure was as fast as lightning, his fists and feet were as fast as the wind, and each blow was as powerful as thunder, beating the man in black without any chance of fighting back.

"Not good, their strength..." The face of the leader of the men in black changed drastically. He was about to order a retreat, but he saw Ding Chen and Master Murong approaching.

"Now, it's our turn." Ding Chen raised the corner of his mouth in an icy arc, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Ding Chen's fists roared like a tiger descending from the mountains, and every move was deadly.

Young Master Murong's sword flashed like a snake spitting out its tongue, and he pressed forward step by step.

The men in black initially gained the upper hand with their numerical advantage and strange moves, forcing Ding Chen and Master Murong to retreat again and again.

However, as the battle progressed, Ding Chen and Master Murong gradually adapted to their attack rhythm and found their weaknesses.

Ding Chen seized the opportunity and punched a man in black in the chest with a heavy punch. The man groaned and flew backwards.

Young Master Murong seized the weakness of the other man in black and with a flash of his sword, he cut his arm.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the men in black showed expressions of horror on their faces. They did not expect that these two seemingly ordinary young men were so powerful.

"Although their moves are strange, their flaws are also obvious!" Ding Chen reminded Master Murong loudly while fighting.

"That's right, as long as we grasp their weaknesses, we can easily defeat them!" Young Master Murong responded, his swordsmanship becoming even more fierce.

The villagers in the rear saw Ding Chen and Master Murong gradually gaining the upper hand, and they all shouted loudly to cheer them on.

"Come on, Brother Ding Chen! Come on, Young Master Murong!" Their voices echoed throughout the valley, adding infinite strength to Ding Chen and Young Master Murong.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the men in black threw away their weapons and fled in all directions.

Ding Chen and Master Murong did not chase after them, but stood where they were, watching their fleeing figures in a panic, with a victorious smile on their faces.

Xiaoxuan walked up to them, her eyes full of admiration: "You are really amazing!"

After a short rest, they continued on their journey.

Not long after they walked, a towering building appeared before their eyes.

The building is completely black, exuding a mysterious and powerful power, as if hiding a huge secret.

The door of the building was tightly closed and engraved with strange runes, which gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

Ding Chen walked to the front of the gate, reached out to touch the cold rune, and felt the powerful power contained in it.

He turned to look at Master Murong and Xiaoxuan, and said in a deep voice, "It seems that the real test has just begun..."

Young Master Murong smiled slightly, waving his folding fan gently: "No matter what dangers lie ahead, we must face them together."

Xiaoxuan nodded firmly: "Yes, we will definitely find the truth!"

Ding Chen took a deep breath, looked ahead firmly, and slowly raised his hand!
