Rebirth of the Innkeeper's Wife: She's Not to Be Messed With

Chapter 71 Dark Demon Orb

Immediately, the man in black robes shouted and summoned a group of puppets to assist him.

Huan Yuechu frowned, changed the hand seals, and shot out a golden light that instantly froze the puppet.

The man in black robes was not to be outdone and launched a close-range attack on Huan Yuechu.

Huan Yuechu dodged the black-robed man's attack by sidestepping, and then kicked him in the abdomen.

The black-robed man moved backward like a ghost, and with a dull thud, the shelf displaying precious antiques behind him was instantly smashed to pieces.

Countless priceless antiques fell from the shelves, shattering into pieces with a crisp yet heartbreaking sound.

However, the black-robed man possessed an exceptionally strong will. Despite suffering such a heavy blow, he quickly struggled to his feet.

He was seen clutching his chest tightly with one hand, as if he were enduring immense pain, while his other hand was raised to gently wipe the blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his movements appearing somewhat labored and slow.

After regaining his footing, he looked at me with wary eyes, his face full of disbelief, as if he had never expected to encounter such a situation.

Huan Yue stepped into the void, each step seemingly on invisible steps, her figure slowly approaching the black-robed man like a ghost.

Her stunningly beautiful face was now shrouded in frost, and her beautiful eyes flashed with a cold light as she stared intently at the black-robed man not far away.

As the distance drew closer, the man in black robes unleashed his strongest attack, and in an instant, a dark power surged toward me.

In the blink of an eye, the menacing object shot straight toward me like an arrow released from a bow.

I dared not be negligent in the slightest. In my haste, I quickly mobilized the spiritual power within my body, and with a rapid wave of my hands, an incomparably sturdy transparent barrier instantly appeared in front of me.

However, at this critical moment, the dark force collided violently with the barrier I had built.

In an instant, a deafening roar was heard, as if the whole world trembled.

A powerful, suffocating impact force suddenly spread outwards from the point of impact.

The impact was so fierce that even with my best efforts, I could not fully withstand its power.

I felt a tremendous force strike me, like a tidal wave, and my body involuntarily staggered backward.

The black-robed man opposite him was also not spared, and was forced to take several steps back before regaining his balance due to the terrifying impact.

However, it was during this shock that Huan Yuechu accidentally discovered some strange patterns appearing on the walls around the shop, and these patterns were absorbing the energy generated by the battle.

She realized this might be a bigger trap, and if the fighting continued, who knew what other dangers it might trigger.

So I changed my strategy, channeling a burst of spiritual energy into the puppet in my hand, instantly enlarging it, and then casually tossed it toward the man in black robes.

While the man in black robes was busy dealing with the puppets.

Huan Yuechu unleashed powerful spiritual energy to destroy the strange patterns around her, and for a moment the shop was filled with light and spiritual energy.

Seeing the strange patterns inside the shop destroyed, the man in black robes turned extremely ugly and roared angrily, "How dare you ruin my plans!" With that, he ignored the puppet's attacks and forcefully broke through the obstruction to pounce on Huan Yuechu.

Huan Yuechu was prepared. In a flash, she appeared behind the man in black robes and reached out to lock his throat.

However, the man in black robes suddenly turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.

I'm speechless about this situation; if you can't win, you run away.

I then glanced around, thinking to myself with a heavy heart, "Things aren't that simple. He'll definitely come back, and there must be a bigger conspiracy behind those patterns."

Just then, a sinister laugh suddenly came from outside the shop.

The man in black robes reappeared, but this time he was accompanied by several helpers who were also dressed in black robes.

Huan Yuechu felt a chill run down her spine, but remained calm on the surface.

She quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, and a light blue shield unfolded in front of her.

Upon seeing this, the men in black robes sneered in unison and launched an attack simultaneously, unleashing a barrage of dark spiritual energy towards Huan Yuechu like a rain of black arrows.

With a determined look in her eyes, Huan Yuechu shouted and poured her spiritual power into the shield. The shield immediately shone brightly and blocked the first wave of attacks.

But the black-robed man's attacks came wave after wave, and cracks gradually appeared in the shield.

Just then, Huan Yuechu had a sudden inspiration and pretended that her spiritual power was exhausted and her shield was broken.

The man in black robes was overjoyed and rushed over.

A barely perceptible smile appeared on Huan Yuechu's lips. As the man in black robes approached, she suddenly pulled a talisman from her bosom and slammed it to the ground.

In an instant, golden runes rose from the ground, forming a huge cage that trapped the black-robed man and his henchmen inside.

The man in black robes panicked and frantically rammed against the cage.

Huan Yuechu slowly approached and said, "No matter what your schemes are, you won't succeed today."

The man in black glared at her fiercely, gritting his teeth as he said, "Do you think you can trap us like this?"

Huan Yuechu remained unmoved, quietly guarding the cage, preparing to further investigate their conspiracy.

Just as Huan Yuechu was focused on guarding the cage, the leader of the black-robed men suddenly stopped struggling and revealed a strange smile on his face.

He took out a bead that emitted a dark, eerie light from his pocket and began to chant an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation in a low voice.

As the incantation was recited, the black light on the bead grew stronger and stronger, gradually enveloping the entire cage.

A sense of unease welled up in Huan Yue's heart. She tried to strengthen the restrictions around the cage, but it was too late.

With a loud "boom," the cage was shattered by black light, and the people in black robes filed out.

Huan Yuechu took a few steps back, watching them warily.

The black-robed protector laughed loudly, "This is the Dark Demon Pearl, a treasure specifically designed to break seals. How long do you think it can hold us back?"

Huan Yuechu took a deep breath, and her originally calm eyes instantly became extremely sharp, like two bolts of lightning streaking across the night sky.

With a flash, she charged towards the group of enemies ahead like an arrow released from a bow.

Facing numerous and powerful opponents, Huan Yuechu showed no fear.

The weapon in her hand gleamed with a cold light, and each swing brought a gust of wind that made the surrounding air tremble.

However, despite his extraordinary bravery and ability to fight against the crowd on his own, he gradually began to feel somewhat powerless.

Sweat streamed down her forehead, soaking the strands of hair there, but she dared not slacken her efforts in the slightest.

Because if one is not careful, the enemy may seize the opportunity to exploit a weakness, thus plunging one into an abyss of no return.

Time passed second by second, and the fierce battle entered a white-hot stage.

Huan Yuechu gritted her teeth and continued to unleash her special skills, engaging in a fierce battle with the black-robed men.

Finally, after a hard-fought battle, he successfully found the enemy's weakness and defeated them all in one fell swoop.
