Chapter 294: What Is There to Fear?

"What is there to fear? As long as we stand united, there is no obstacle we cannot overcome!" At this moment, Xiao Qing stepped forward to boost everyone's morale. Although she felt just as uneasy inside, as the only female warrior in the team, she naturally could not show weakness now. "Let us unleash our respective trump cards next!"

Hearing this, Wang Zhenqiu nodded in agreement, "That's right, only in this way can we find a chance for a breakthrough." He then looked with a firm gaze at the massive black shadow looming ever closer on the opposite side...

Just at this critical moment, a holy light suddenly descended from the sky, illuminating this dark world. It turned out that the Immortal Realm allies, far away at the edge of the horizon, had sensed this battle and extended a helping hand in time. "Quick, use the power of light to launch an attack!" an old man dressed in white robes and holding a long staff shouted loudly.

Having received new assistance, the fire of hope suddenly ignited in the hearts of the three. They were seen chanting incantations and unleashing their skills in unison...

"Light and darkness are, after all, two diametrically opposed existences!"

"That's right, no matter how powerful, one cannot change this basic fact."

Before the words had even faded, the power erupting from the three heroes instantly reached its peak. Especially the Light Blade in Wang Zhenqiu's hand shone brilliantly at this moment, as if possessing the divine might to tear through the night sky.

"Hmph, even if you unite, you could never be my opponent!" Seeing the situation turning against them, the furious Youming Laozhe finally revealed their true form. They were seen shrouded in a layer of dense, tangible black mist, with only a pair of eyes burning with the flames of hatred staring straight at the three tiny humans before them and the powerful reinforcements who had just arrived at the scene.

Just as both sides were preparing for a final struggle—

"It's not too late to surrender now, you know~" A suddenly sounding voice broke the atmosphere of the impending fierce confrontation. Surprisingly, this newly appeared character was actually a little girl wearing a pink short skirt and sporting a ponytail?

Amidst their surprise, everyone cast suspicious glances. "Who are you? Why are you here?" Xiao Qing asked curiously.

The little girl blinked her eyes, revealing an innocent look: "I just happened to be passing by, and seeing that the big brothers and sisters seemed to be in trouble, I wanted to come over and help~"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhenqiu looked at this unidentified newcomer with a vigilant expression: "Help? How do you intend to help?"

The little girl giggled, then said something that caught everyone off guard: "Don't worry, I guarantee I'll let everyone witness a real reversal!"

The offensive of Youming Laoze became increasingly fierce, sweeping in like a monstrous wave, one after another. Lin Xuan, Xiao Qing, and Wang Zhenqiu were forced to retreat step by step, only managing to stabilize the situation after unleashing their respective ultimate techniques.

"What exactly is the origin of this Youming Laoze? Their strength is actually this formidable!" Xiao Qing said in a low voice while performing a Sword Art.

Beads of sweat seeped from Lin Xuan's forehead, but their tone remained calm: "No matter who they are, we must not retreat. We must find a flaw and defeat them!"

Wang Zhenqiu clenched their fists, their gaze firm: "That's right, the three of us working together can definitely defeat them!"

Just then, the little girl suddenly leaped into the center of the battle, her figure as light as the wind, weaving between the two sides. Her delicate voice rang out: "Hey, don't worry, big sisters and brothers, I'm a little expert at talking big, you know~"

Seeing this, Youming Laoze frowned and let out a cold snort: "A mere little girl dares to interfere with me? Truly tired of living."

The little girl was not afraid in the slightest and said with a smile: "Oh my, Grandpa, you must be joking, right? Don't worry, I will protect everyone well, and you should also show some mercy, old man~"

Youming Laoze was so angered by the little girl's words that they let out a cold laugh, pressing their palms together as a powerful black energy instantly condensed between their hands. They pushed forward violently, and a black light wave surged out, attacking the four of them.

Xiao Qing hurriedly warned: "Careful, that thing is poisonous!"

Lin Xuan waved their hand to cast a Spiritual Barrier, attempting to block this dark power, but discovered that the barrier was gradually thinning as if being slowly corroded by something.

"No, it won't hold up like this!" Lin Xuan gritted their teeth, maintaining the defense with all their might as sweat dripped from their forehead.

At this critical moment, the little girl giggled, and a Golden Treasure shining with golden light appeared out of thin air in her hand. She raised the treasure and gave it a light flick toward the incoming dark power.

"Golden light protects, evil cannot prevail over good!"

Accompanied by this crisp chant, the treasure instantly erupted with dazzling light. This light seemed to possess magical power, dissolving the dark energy inch by inch.

Seeing this scene, Youming Laoze's expression became extremely ugly: "What? This brat actually possesses such a treasure?!"

The little girl blinked her large eyes and said triumphantly: "Oh my, this isn't anything rare~ Grandpa, you better watch closely, the good show is still to come!"

Saying this, the little girl flashed and appeared on the battlefield once more. She waved the treasure in her hand, the golden light flashing continuously, each ray of brilliance striking Youming Laoze's weak points with extreme precision. With every contact, Youming Laoze would let out a muffled groan, their figure swaying along with it.

"Hmph, I didn't expect you little doll to have a few tricks!" Youming Laoze clearly refused to admit defeat, once again channeling the Dark Energy within their body, their entire person seemingly wrapped in a layer of thick black mist.

"Big sisters and brothers, let's strike together!" the little girl shouted loudly, "Seize the opportunity, let's finish this old man off in one go!"

Hearing the little girl's call, Lin Xuan and the others did not hesitate, immediately unleashing their respective ultimate techniques, coordinating seamlessly. Lin Xuan unleashed a Spiritual Slash, Xiao Qing's sword light was like a dragon, and Wang Zhenqiu unleashed a powerful Martial Skill; the power of the three merged into one, and together with the Golden Treasure in the little girl's hand, they slammed fiercely into Youming Laoze.

"Ah—" Following a shrill scream, Youming Laoze was knocked back repeatedly by this sudden, powerful attack, losing their balance and falling heavily to the ground.

"Grandpa, do you want to have another duel?" the little girl asked, tilting her head.

Youming Laoze's breathing was chaotic, their eyes revealing a sense of unwillingness, but their body was already exhausted. "You won... but I will not let this rest." After saying this, their figure gradually disappeared, leaving only the lingering black mist slowly dissipating in the air.

"Phew—finally done!" Xiao Qing let out a sigh of relief and put away the Long Sword in her hand.

Wang Zhenqiu patted the dust off their hands: "It's fortunate we had this little girl's help, otherwise it wouldn't have been easy for us to win."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly and looked at the little girl gratefully: "Thank you."
