Chapter 246

"Godfather, I've taken a liking to them. After you catch them, could you please not kill them? Let me enjoy them for a while first..." A hint of ambiguity flashed in Su Jin's eyes as he spoke.

"Alright, then be careful not to hurt the beauty or damage her appearance. Take her back so my son and I can have some fun!" The man in black robes flicked his sleeves and reached for Gu Shihan.

Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi quickly took a few steps back, then stood back to back, gripping their spirit swords tightly. In an instant, the spirit swords emitted a dazzling light, as if they were about to tear through the darkness.

"Dare to resist! You ignorant fools! I know there are nine of you, but now there are only two little girls left, and you still dare to be so arrogant!" The black-robed man didn't expect his grab to be dodged. With a wave of his hand, the puppets surrounded him.

Duan Siqi sneered, her eyes flashing with cold light, and said through gritted teeth, "Shameless scoundrel! The outcome is still uncertain, so let's have a good fight and see who will survive to the end!"

She charged towards the group of puppets first, with Gu Shih-han protecting her from the side. The two worked together seamlessly, and a battle broke out in an instant.

During the fierce battle, Gu Shihan fought while observing, and discovered that the weakness of these puppets lay in their core dark crystal core.

"Siqi, strike the puppet's heart directly; that's its fatal point." The two concentrated their power to shatter the crystal core, and the puppets fell one after another.

Su Jin and the man in black robes were surprised to see the puppets fail. Su Jin murmured, "What happened? Are they that strong? Did we get the wrong information?"

The man in black robes stared at Gu Shihan with a sinister gaze, gave a cold snort, and flicked his sleeves, releasing a thick cloud of dark mist in an attempt to obscure Gu Shihan and Duan Siqi's vision before launching a sneak attack.

Gu Shihan remained highly vigilant. As soon as the eerie black aura emerged, she unhesitatingly threw the Purifying Pearl she was holding into the air.

The bead instantly emitted a soft light, and a powerful purifying force surged forth, quickly dispelling the surrounding dark mist.

At the same time, Duan Siqi's long sword, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, swiftly thrust towards the man in black robes.

The man in black robes was startled, realizing the fierce momentum of the incoming sword, and immediately dodged to the side.

However, Duan Siqi's swordplay was far too fierce and ruthless, as if she would not stop until she had drunk the blood of her enemy.

Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, the man in black robes quickly turned his mind and ruthlessly reached out and pulled Su Jin, who was standing next to him, in front of him to block Duan Siqi's sword attack.

With a muffled "thud," Duan Siqi's sword pierced straight into Su Jin's heart without any resistance.

In an instant, blood gushed from Su Jin's mouth, nose, and chest, splattering everywhere.

Su Jin's face was filled with astonishment and disbelief. Her eyes were fixed on the man in black robes, and she stammered, "Godfather! Why?..."

Unfortunately, before he could finish speaking, Duan Siqi pulled back her longsword, swayed a few times, and then fell heavily to the ground, never to make a sound again.

The man in black robes completely ignored Su Jin's life or death, not even glancing at her.

He was extremely anxious, knowing full well that the situation was dire and that he had clearly underestimated his opponent's strength.

As the saying goes, a wise man doesn't suffer a loss in front of him, and as long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn. The man in black robes made a decisive move, turned around and ran away, only wanting to escape this dangerous place as soon as possible.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Gu Shihan shouted, her figure flashing like a ghost, blocking the black-robed man's escape route in the blink of an eye.

Duan Siqi nimbly circled behind the man in black, completely blocking his escape route. It was clear that the man in black had no way to escape.

The man in black robes trembled, his face contorted in a ferocious grimace, his teeth clenched so tightly they cracked, and his eyes were filled with black light. He glared angrily at Gu Shihan while reaching into his robes and groping for something.

In the blink of an eye, a magical artifact, entirely black and strangely shaped, appeared in the black-robed man's palm.

This magical artifact resembles a skull, with its empty eye sockets and mouth faintly emitting a nauseating stench.

As the black-robed man continued chanting incantations, the skeletal magical artifact began to tremble slightly, gradually emitting a layer of dark light.

A thick, ink-like black beam shot out from the mouth of the skull-shaped magical artifact, hurtling straight toward Gu Shihan.

Despite having seemingly a lot of time, it all happened in an instant. Faced with this sudden attack, Gu Shihan remained calm and composed.

Her eyes narrowed, and she quickly began to wield the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword in her hand.

In an instant, sword light flashed, and sword energy crisscrossed, weaving together to form an incomparably solid shield in front of him.

A series of dull impacts rang out as the black beam slammed into the shield, sparking a burst of sparks, but it was successfully blocked.

Just then, Duan Siqi, who had been waiting for an opportunity, seized the chance and suddenly flashed forward like a ghost, rushing towards the man in black robes.

She held a sharp longsword tightly in her hand, the blade reflecting a chilling light in the sunlight.

In the blink of an eye, Gu Shihan, who was standing nearby, cooperated perfectly, and with quick eyes and hands, kicked a large rock not far away.

After being struck by tremendous force, the rock flew towards the man in black robes like a cannonball.

With a muffled thud, the stone struck the black-robed man's wrist with perfect accuracy.

The black-robed man, in pain, dropped the strange magical artifact in his hand.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Duan Siqi and Gu Shihan quickly surrounded the black-robed man who was about to retreat. They joined forces from the front and the back, unleashing a stunning sword strike.

Gu Shihan let out a delicate shout, and the Seven Star Silk Sound Sword in her hand transformed into several sharp sword beams, stabbing fiercely at the black-robed man with lightning speed.

Things happened so fast that the man in black had absolutely no chance to react.

He stared wide-eyed in horror at the rapidly approaching sword tip, but could only watch helplessly as the tip easily pierced his clothes and embedded itself deeply in his shoulder.

Instantly, crimson blood splattered, staining the surrounding air red.

The black-robed man screamed in agony. Despite the excruciating pain, his survival instinct drove him to ignore the agonizing agony from his wounds and quickly reach out to grab a black mist ball hidden in his hand.

With a firm squeeze of his fingers, the seemingly ordinary black mist ball shattered suddenly, turning into a thick cloud of black mist that rose into the air.

In the blink of an eye, the black-robed man's figure flickered and was completely swallowed up by the black mist, then disappeared without a trace.

"Damn it, he actually got away!" Duan Siqi was so angry that she was panting heavily and couldn't help but curse. Her beautiful eyes flashed with anger and resentment.
