After traveling through the book, I conquered the male protagonist Long Aotian!

Not long after Chu Lingxiao finished speaking, the black vortex continued to expand at an astonishing speed, becoming increasingly larger and more terrifying. The most terrifying thing was that it could actually move.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao looked at the black vortex that was getting closer and bigger, and their hearts instantly rose to their throats.

The powerful suction from the vortex was like an invisible giant hand, pulling madly, as if trying to tear their souls out of their bodies.

"Ling Xiao, we can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to find a way to get rid of it!" Gu Qingze shouted loudly, with a hint of anxiety in his voice.

Chu Lingxiao nodded vigorously, his brain working rapidly: "The power of this vortex is too strange and evil. Conventional spells may not be able to compete with it."

The two looked at each other, and in unison, they simultaneously cast their strongest defensive spells.

For a moment, bright light burst out from their bodies, trying to resist the terrible suction that seemed to come from hell.

But the power of the vortex was too strong. Like an irresistible wheel of fate, their bodies were ruthlessly pulled towards the center of the vortex little by little.

At this critical moment, Gu Qingze suddenly had an idea: "Ling Xiao, let's try to use spiritual power in the opposite direction, maybe we can offset some of the suction force!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Lingxiao, without hesitation, gathered the spiritual power in his palms together with Gu Qingze, and pushed it out with all his strength in the opposite direction.

In an instant, dazzling light burst out from their hands, fiercely competing with the power of the vortex.

However, despite their efforts, the black vortex showed no signs of stopping. Instead, it spun even more wildly, as if mocking their futility.

"This is not a solution. We have to find the vortex's weakness!"

Chu Lingxiao's forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which slid down his cheeks bit by bit, gradually blurring his vision, but his eyes were extremely firm.

While struggling to resist the suction that was almost swallowing them, they stared wide-eyed and carefully observed every change of the whirlpool.

Suddenly, Gu Qingze was pleasantly surprised to find that the light at the edge of the vortex seemed to be slightly dim.

"Ling Xiao, look there, maybe that's the breakthrough point!"

The two of them no longer hesitated, and concentrated all their strength to rush towards the dark place.

At the moment when they were about to be sucked into the whirlpool, they successfully broke through the weak spot and finally got rid of the terrible bondage of the black whirlpool.

"Phew...that was close." Gu Qingze gasped heavily.

Chu Lingxiao was also frightened. Just as he was about to say something, he saw a huge figure slowly walking out of the darkness ahead.

The figure stood tall and majestic like a mountain, emitting a suffocating evil aura, as if it was the embodiment of darkness.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao subconsciously tightened their swords, their eyes sharp as torches, staring at the mysterious figure vigilantly.

As the figure got closer, they finally saw its appearance clearly.

This is a monster with an extremely strange shape. Its body seems to be made up of various twisted and deformed limbs. It is densely covered with sharp bone spurs, and its eyes flash with a blood-red light.

"Could this be the great evil thing in Xuanyin?" Gu Qingze said in a low voice, with an uncontrollable tremor in his voice.

Chu Lingxiao rejected his idea outright and analyzed calmly: "No, although its appearance is extremely terrifying, its cultivation is far from reaching the standard that can make Xuanyin a place of great danger."

He took a deep breath and said with determination: "But no matter what it is, we have nowhere to escape now. We can only fight!"

The monster opened its bloody mouth like the abyss and let out a deafening roar. The sound waves stirred in the air, and then it pounced towards them like a gale.

Gu Qingze flashed and dodged the monster's attack as nimbly as a ghost. He swung the sword in his hand, and an extremely sharp sword energy slashed towards the monster's leg.

The sword energy cut through the darkness, bringing with it a sharp and piercing whistling sound, like the howling of an evil ghost.

However, the monster's legs were as hard as steel, and the sword energy only left a shallow mark on them, like an insignificant scratch.

Chu Lingxiao quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. In an instant, a ball of blazing flame condensed in his palms.

The flames were a bright red color, as if they were magma gushing out from the depths of the earth. The air around them was burning and making a sizzling sound, creating layers of heat waves that were visible to the naked eye.

Then, the ball of fire turned into an extremely powerful fire dragon and swept towards the monster's body.

The fire dragon bared its fangs and brandished its claws, and the scales on its body flashed with dazzling light. Wherever it passed, the air was burned and distorted, forming ripples that looked like illusory dreams.

The monster was not afraid at all, and waved its arms covered with bone spurs, scattering the fire dragon like leaves swept by a strong wind. Flames splashed everywhere, like colorful fireworks.

Gu Qingze took the opportunity to leap up, landed on the monster's back like a bird, and stabbed it fiercely with his sword.

But the monster swung its body violently, like a violent hurricane, and threw him out heavily.

Seeing this, Chu Lingxiao cast a spell again, and countless fireballs appeared out of thin air and shot towards the monster like a rainstorm.

The monster was hit by the fireball and let out an extremely angry roar, the sound was so loud that it hurt people's eardrums. The bone spurs on its body suddenly shot out and attacked them like a dense rain of arrows.

Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao quickly cast defensive spells to form an extremely solid shield.

The bone spurs hit the shield, making a crisp "ding-dang-dang" sound, like rapid drum beats.

The two of them looked at each other and understood each other.

Gu Qingze rushed towards the monster again with an agile body, attracting its attention, while Chu Lingxiao held his breath and gathered strength in the back, preparing to launch a fatal blow.

Gu Qingze dodged left and right under the monster's attack, like a leaf in the wind. His clothes had been torn in many places and were in tatters.

Just as the monster was about to attack again, a powerful spiritual power burst out from Chu Lingxiao's hands, turning into a bright and brilliant light, like the dawn, and hit the monster's head directly.

The monster let out a shrill scream that echoed in the darkness. Its body shook a few times and then fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust.

"Ling Xiao, you are right. This thing is indeed just for show. It looks scary, but it is actually not that great."

Gu Qingze put the sword back into the scabbard and quickly drank a bottle of recovery potion to restore his health.

Chu Lingxiao also drank a bottle. He looked at Gu Qingze and said helplessly, "Even if it's not that bad, it still made us so embarrassed. I'm afraid it will be even more...dangerous in the future."

Gu Qingze didn't comment: "Yeah."

He had originally said this just to boost morale and encourage himself and Ling Xiao. He had not really gotten carried away and let his guard down.
