Chapter 135: Combat

Replacing him was a monster emitting a dark aura all over.

The monster was several zhang tall, ferocious, with sharp fangs.

It emitted a nauseating stench of rot.

"What kind of monster is this?" Tang Yun was horrified.

The monster let out a deafening roar and pounced toward Tang Yun.

Tang Yun didn't dare to be careless, hurriedly brandished the golden long sword, and met it.

One person and one monster started a fierce fight in the cave.

Tang Yun's sword technique was fierce, every move fatal, but the monster's strength was unusually powerful, every attack carrying a destructive force.

Tang Yun gradually felt physically exhausted, and there were multiple wounds on his body.

"This can't go on," Tang Yun thought to himself.

He had to find a way to end this battle as soon as possible.

Just then, he suddenly thought of Chaos Medical Qi.

He took a deep breath, circulated the Chaos Medical Qi to the extreme, and then released it fiercely.

A powerful purification force instantly swept out, enveloping the monster.

The monster let out a miserable scream, and its body began to tremble violently.

Its skin began to fester, revealing the white bones inside.

Finally, the monster turned into a pool of black water and disappeared.

Tang Yun let out a long sigh of relief and sat paralyzed on the ground.

He looked at the black water remaining on the ground, his heart filled with doubt.

What on earth was this monster?

Who was the black-robed man?

Why did he trap himself here?

What kind of conspiracy was hidden behind all this?

Just then, a crack suddenly appeared on the wall of the cave.

The crack got bigger and bigger, finally forming a huge cave entrance.

Tang Yun struggled to stand up and walked toward the cave entrance.

Outside the cave entrance was a desolate scene.

The earth was barren, the land cracked, undulating mountain ranges could be vaguely seen in the distance, and the sky was gray, without a trace of sunlight.

"Where is this?" Tang Yun muttered to himself.

He looked around and found a dilapidated temple not far away.

The walls of the temple had collapsed, leaving only a few broken pillars supporting the crumbling roof.

"Go take a look," Tang Yun's heart moved, and he walked toward the temple.

He walked into the temple and found that there was no one inside.

Only some broken Buddha statues and scriptures were scattered on the ground.

Tang Yun picked up a scripture, opened it, and found it filled with dense characters.

"What kind of characters are these?" Tang Yun frowned.

He had never seen these characters before.

Just then, he suddenly felt a powerful aura coming from the depths of the temple.

"Who is there?" Tang Yun asked vigilantly.

An old voice came from the depths of the temple: "Young man, you finally came."

Tang Yun looked in the direction of the sound and saw an old monk in a tattered cassock slowly walking out from the darkness.

The old monk's face was covered with wrinkles, but his eyes were unusually bright.

"Who are you?" Tang Yun asked.

The old monk smiled slightly: "My dharma name is Kongming."

"Master Kongming." Tang Yun bowed respectfully.

"Young man, why did you come to this place?" Master Kongming asked.

Tang Yun recounted his experience of being trapped by the black-robed man and fighting the monster in the cave.

After hearing this, Master Kongming's face became solemn.

"It seems that the dark forces have already started to act," Master Kongming said in a deep voice.

"Dark forces?" Tang Yun asked puzzledly.

"That's right," Master Kongming nodded, "This is an evil force hidden in the dark, their goal is to destroy this world."

"Destroy the world?" Tang Yun was startled.

"That's right. They are gathering strength, preparing to launch an unprecedented catastrophe."

"We must stop them," Tang Yun said firmly.

"Young man, I understand your intention."

"However, the power of the dark forces is very powerful, you alone cannot fight them."

"Then what should I do?" Tang Yun asked.

"You need to find other companions. Only by uniting can you fight the dark forces."

"Other companions?" Tang Yun's heart moved, "Does the Master know where they are?"

Master Kongming shook his head: "I don't know either."

"Then what should be done?" Tang Yun was a bit anxious.

"Young man, don't be anxious. When fate arrives, you will naturally meet."

"Fate?" Tang Yun was a bit puzzled.

Master Kongming smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

He stretched out his withered hand and patted Tang Yun's shoulder lightly.

"Young man, remember, evil cannot prevail over good."

After speaking, Master Kongming's figure slowly disappeared.

Tang Yun stood in place, stunned for a long time.

He looked at the empty temple, his heart filled with doubt.

What did Master Kongming's words mean?

What was the fate he spoke of?

Where were the other companions?

Tang Yun couldn't figure it out.

He walked out of the temple and looked up at the gray sky.

A strong sense of unease suddenly surged in his heart.

He felt that he was about to be involved in a huge conspiracy.

And this conspiracy would change his destiny.

Just then, he suddenly heard a noisy sound coming from afar.

He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a group of people walking toward this side.

Leading them was a burly man dressed in black tight-fitting clothes.

Behind the man followed a group of men in black, each one fierce and murderous.

Tang Yun was startled and hurriedly hid behind a giant rock.

He secretly observed this group of people, his heart filled with doubt.

Who were these people?

What were they doing here?

Just then, he suddenly heard the leading man say: "Search for me, must find that kid."

"Yes!" the men in black responded in unison.

Tang Yun's heart tightened; he knew these people were looking for him.

He had to leave here as soon as possible.

Tang Yun cautiously poked his head out from behind the giant rock, observing the movements of the men in black.

They dispersed, searching every inch of land around them like hunting dogs, their weapons flickering with cold light.

Tang Yun cursed his bad luck; in this wilderness, how did he run into this gang of stars.

He held his breath, trying to minimize his presence, and slowly retreated.

Suddenly, he stepped on a dead branch, a crisp "crack" sound, which sounded particularly harsh in the silent mountain forest.

"Who is there?" a man in black shouted sternly, and at the same time quickly ran toward the direction the sound came from.

Tang Yun secretly said bad, and ran away.

"Chase!" the leader of the men in black gave an order, and a group of men in black surged toward Tang Yun like a tide.

Tang Yun's speed was very fast, moving freely in the forest, but the men in black were not slow either, following closely behind him.

"Damn, are these guys dogs?" Tang Yun cursed while running. ===== CHAPTER 136 =====
