Douluo Continent: Dragon Shadow Rebirth

The night was deep, and Qin Feng and his companions had already set up traps around the village, waiting for the arrival of the mysterious force. The whole village seemed unusually quiet, and the air was filled with a suppressed tension, as if even the chirping of insects had temporarily stopped. Ye Li's frost fox quietly patrolled in the darkness, occasionally making a low hiss, reminding everyone that the enemy was approaching.

"Will they not come?" Chu Tian hid behind a tree and said in a low voice, "I feel like I'm about to fall asleep waiting."

Zhang Meng patted his shoulder and grinned, "I see you're waiting for a fight! Don't worry, I'll be the first one to rush over and beat them so hard that they won't even remember their own names!"

"Are you always so excited? Wait a little longer." Qin Feng said calmly, his fingers gently holding the Dragon Shadow Sword, his eyes sharply scanning the darkness in the distance, "They will come."

Sure enough, not long after, a group of mysterious people in black robes appeared again, twice as many as before. The leader was still the same person, but this time his momentum was obviously much stronger, holding a staff that flashed with black light in his hand.

"They are coming for a hard fight this time." Ye Li said in a low voice. She frowned slightly, feeling that the other party's spiritual power fluctuations were stronger than before.

"It seems that we really underestimated them." Qin Feng showed a sneer on his face, "But what they don't know is that the situation tonight has reversed."

The leader, a man in black robe, led a group of people into the village cautiously and looked around, as if to confirm whether there was an ambush.

"It looks like they are looking for us." Chu Tian whispered to Qin Feng, "Should we just jump down and give them a 'surprise'?"

Qin Feng shook his head: "Don't worry, wait until they get closer, our trap is not completely tightened yet."

Several black-robed men apparently did not notice the ambush and gradually approached the center of the village. Suddenly, the leading black-robed man raised his staff and chanted a spell in a low voice. A black light surged from the top of the staff and shot straight towards the center of the village.

"What does this guy want to do?" Zhang Meng's eyes widened. "Are they looking for gems?"

"It should be, but they probably didn't expect that the gemstone is not there at all." Ye Li chuckled, "It seems that the plan is going smoothly."

At the moment when the black light fell, shining runes suddenly emerged around the village. It turned out that Ye Li had already set up a protective formation around the village. The runes were activated instantly, forming a solid barrier that protected the entire village.

The black-robed leader was stunned, obviously not expecting such a situation. He waved his staff angrily, trying to break the barrier, but no matter how he attacked, the barrier that was shining with frost remained indestructible.

"It's our turn!" Qin Feng gave an order, and everyone jumped out from the ambush point and surrounded the man in black in an instant.

Chu Tian was the first to jump out, holding a short sword in both hands, and rushed directly to the nearest black-robed man. Zhang Meng was not to be outdone, waving his fists and crushing like a tank. Ye Li stood in the back, controlling the situation with the Frost Fox, while Qin Feng went straight for the leading black-robed man, with the Dragon Shadow Sword flashing with lightning and majestic momentum.

"You guys! How dare you plot against us!" The leading black-robed man roared, and the staff in his hand emitted an even more powerful black light, instantly forming a huge barrier that separated himself and Qin Feng.

"We are just giving you a 'surprise'." Qin Feng sneered, not affected by the other party's barrier at all. He quickly swung his sword, and the sword light slashed at the barrier like thunder. The black barrier instantly collapsed under the attack of the Dragon Shadow Sword. The black-robed leader's face changed drastically and retreated hastily.

"It seems that you are not very good at dealing with emergencies." Qin Feng teased and continued to oppress the opponent.

At the same time, Zhang Meng and Chu Tian were also showing off their skills. Zhang Meng punched away two men in black robes and laughed: "That's all you can do? You still dare to come and steal the gems?"

Chu Tian nimbly shuttled between the enemies, attacking them from time to time with a smug smile on his face: "I like this kind of chasing game, but you are too slow!"

"Too slow?" A man in black robes suddenly sneered, and reached out from his sleeve to take out a talisman that flashed with dark purple light. The spell flashed in the air instantly, and Chu Tian's figure paused slightly, feeling a powerful force coming from under his feet, as if an invisible vine trapped him.

"Oh no!" Chu Tian exclaimed and tried to break free, but found that his body was fixed and he could not move.

"Chu Tian!" Ye Li discovered his predicament and immediately controlled the Frost Fox to release cold air, trying to freeze the talisman.

However, just as she was about to attack, another black-robed man suddenly attacked her from behind with a strong spiritual power fluctuation. Ye Li reacted instantly and quickly dodged sideways, but was still scratched by the opponent's spiritual power and her face turned slightly pale.

"It seems that this battle will not be easy." She frowned, feeling the pressure around her.

Qin Feng saw this and realized that the situation was becoming complicated. He turned around and used the Dragon Shadow Sword to repel a black-robed man who tried to sneak attack Zhang Meng, and then quickly provided support to Chu Tian and Ye Li.

"Ye Li, concentrate on controlling the enemy's talismans! I will deal with these men in black robes." Qin Feng commanded while waving his sword.

Ye Li nodded and quickly gathered her spiritual power. The cold air of the Frost Fox spread out and successfully froze the talismans of several men in black robes, giving Chu Tian a chance to escape.

As soon as Chu Tian got out of the situation, he immediately rolled over from the ground and dusted himself off: "Ouch, I almost got caught! But these guys are really good."

"Don't be careless, just focus on dealing with them." Qin Feng said coldly.

They readjusted their formation, with Qin Feng in charge of suppressing the leading black-robed man, Chu Tian and Zhang Meng dealing with the other men, and Ye Li continuing to use the Frost Fox's cold air to block the enemy's spells and spiritual power.

After a fierce battle, Qin Feng finally seized the opportunity, and the Dragon Shadow Sword launched another thunderous attack, directly hitting the shoulder of the leading black-robed man. The black-robed man groaned in pain, the staff slipped from his hand, and the whole person was knocked back several steps.

"You lost." Qin Feng said coldly, pointing the sword at the black-robed man's throat.

The man in black robe covered his shoulder, his face pale, but he was still muttering something: "You...you don't know the true power of the 'Gem Heart'...everything has just begun..."

Before Qin Feng could ask in detail, the man in black robe suddenly began to tremble violently like his subordinates before, and then fell to the ground and died.

"Another Silence Spell!" Ye Li frowned and said, "It seems that there is a very powerful force behind them that can cast this kind of self-destructive forbidden spell."

"No matter who is behind them, we must be fully prepared." Qin Feng put away the Dragon Shadow Sword and took a deep breath.

After the battle, the village returned to peace. However, Qin Feng and his companions knew that although they had won the battle, the real crisis was far from over. The secret of the "Gem Heart" seemed to hide a deeper mystery, and they were getting closer to the unknown truth step by step.
