The night is dark and foggy. In the lonely city, the lights dimmed and the streets were deserted, with only the wind whistling quietly in the corners. Lin Xuan protected Lu Chenxi, leaning against the broken city wall and staring around vigilantly.

"What is this place?" Lu Chenxi asked softly, her voice appearing particularly clear in the silent night sky.

Lin Xuan looked around, frowning: "We should have been transported to an unknown space. It looks like an abandoned ancient city, but be careful, it may be full of unknown dangers."

Lu Chenxi nodded and held Lin Xuan's hand tightly: "I'm not afraid as long as you are here."

Lin Xuan smiled slightly, but was secretly wary. He knew that in this lonely city full of fog, any danger could happen.

At this moment, a strange sound suddenly sounded. The voice was high-pitched and harsh, as if countless people were whispering. Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi looked at each other and felt an ominous premonition in their hearts.

"What is this sound?" Lu Chenxi asked nervously.

Lin Xuan shook his head: "I don't know. But it sounds like some kind of spell or ritual. We have to be careful."

The two of them walked cautiously along the city wall. The houses on both sides of the street are dilapidated, with their doors and windows closed, as if no one has lived in them for a long time. The fog is getting thicker and the visibility is getting lower and lower. They can only rely on each other's breathing and heartbeat to judge each other's position.

Suddenly, a black shadow passed from the front. Lin Xuan reacted quickly, pulling Lu Chenxi behind him and pulling out the long sword in his hand.

"Who is there?" Lin Xuan shouted sharply.

However, all he received in response was silence and thick fog. The black shadow seemed to disappear, leaving no trace.

"Maybe it's some kind of hallucination or trap." Lin Xuan whispered to Lu Chenxi, "Follow me closely and don't leave my sight."

Lu Chenxi nodded and held Lin Xuan's sleeve tightly. She knew that in this world full of unknowns and dangers, Lin Xuan was her only support.

The two of them continued on their way. However, as they went deeper into the isolated city, the surrounding environment became increasingly weird. The houses on both sides of the street seemed to come alive, with doors and windows opening and closing on their own, making creaking sounds. There seemed to be countless pairs of eyes hidden in the mist, watching their every move.

"Lin Xuan, I'm scared." Lu Chenxi's voice was trembling.

Lin Xuan stopped, turned around and hugged her tightly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. No matter what happens, I will protect you."

Lu Chenxi raised his head and looked at Lin Xuan's firm eyes, and the fear in his heart eased slightly. She nodded and snuggled into Lin Xuan's arms, feeling the warmth and security coming from him.

At this moment, a burst of rapid footsteps suddenly sounded. Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi quickly separated and looked warily at the direction from which the sound came.

I saw a group of people in black robes rushing out of the fog. They were holding sharp blades and had ferocious faces, heading straight for Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi.

"It's those men in black!" Lu Chenxi exclaimed.

A chill flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes. He knew that these men in black were the masterminds behind the attack on them in the Frost Cold River. They tracked them all the way here, obviously intending to kill them.

"Chen Xi, step back. Let me deal with these people." Lin Xuan said, raising his sword and facing them.

Although Lu Chenxi was worried, she knew that staying on the battlefield would only become a burden to Lin Xuan. She stepped aside and nervously followed the development of the battle.

Lin Xuan's sword skills were as fast as wind and thunder, and the man in black could not see his sword moves clearly. Only a few soft "chichi" sounds were heard, and several long sword marks appeared on the clothes of the men in black. However, these men in black didn't seem to be afraid of Lin Xuan's sword skills. They came up one after another, as if they had endless power.

The battle was extremely fierce. Although Lin Xuan was superb in swordsmanship, he was at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. He had to fight and retreat at the same time, looking for a breakthrough.

Lu Chenxi saw it in his eyes and felt anxious in his heart. She knew she couldn't stand idly by, so she picked up a stone on the ground, aimed at the back of one of the men in black, and hit it hard on the back of the head.

"Ah!" The man in black screamed and fell to the ground. Upon seeing this, his companions turned their heads and glared at Lu Chenxi.

"You bastards! Come at me if you can!" Lu Chenxi yelled. Although she doesn't know martial arts, she is confronting the man in black without fear at this moment.

Lin Xuan felt warm in his heart when he saw this. He knew that Lu Chenxi was sharing the pressure for him. He took the opportunity to slash at another man in black with his sword, and at the same time whispered to Lu Chenxi: "Chenxi, be careful. These people are not simple."

Lu Chenxi nodded to express his understanding. She continued to hit the men in black with rocks. Although her accuracy was not good, she succeeded in attracting the attention of some of the men in black.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred! A ray of cold light struck from the darkness and headed straight for Lu Chenxi. Lin Xuan, with quick eyes and quick hands, pulled Lu Chenxi behind him and blocked the cold light with his sword.

With a crisp "ding" sound, the long sword in Lin Xuan's hand was hit by the cold light and flew out of his hand. He was startled and looked up, only to see a man in black standing not far away, holding a sharp blade with a cold light in his hand.

"Suffer death!" The man in black laughed ferociously and struck Lin Xuan with his knife.

Lin Xuan had no time to pick up the sword and could only face the enemy with his bare hands. With his body shape like the wind, he cleverly avoided the attack of the man in black and at the same time kicked the man in black in the chest.

With a muffled sound of "bang", the man in black was kicked by Lin Xuan and flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground. The sharp blade in his hand also flew out and was inserted into the wall not far away.

Lin Xuan took the opportunity to pick up his long sword, turned around and said to Lu Chenxi: "Chenxi, we have to leave here as soon as possible. These men in black are obviously well prepared. It will be detrimental to us to continue fighting."

Lu Chenxi nodded in agreement. She knew what Lin Xuan said made sense. In this isolated city full of unknowns and dangers, they must remain vigilant and calm to survive.

However, just as they were about to leave, a strange laughter suddenly sounded. The laughter was sharp and harsh, as if coming from all directions, making it impossible to tell its true location.

"Want to leave? It's not that easy!"

As the laughter sounded, the surrounding fog suddenly became thicker. Lin Xuan and Lu Chenxi felt their eyes darken and lost sight of each other.

"Lin Xuan! Where are you?" Lu Chenxi shouted loudly, but his voice was quickly swallowed by the thick fog.

Lin Xuan also tried to find traces of Lu Chenxi, but it was so dark that he couldn't tell the direction. He knew that he and Lu Chenxi had been separated by some mysterious force.

Can they meet again in this isolated city full of unknowns and dangers? Can the truth behind all this be revealed?
