"The ability users in the village have split!" a villager came rushing over, breathless and pale as a ghost, sweat dripping from his forehead, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
Xuan Yang's heart sank, a chill creeping up his spine. Split? How could this happen suddenly? Could it be... that the Shadow forces were behind this? Damn it, those persistent wretches!
"What happened? Speak slowly," Lu Zhiyuan asked in a deep voice, trying to maintain his composure, but his furrowed brow and slightly trembling fingers betrayed his inner turmoil.
"Some of the ability users... they seem to be controlled by the Shadows! They attack anyone they see, like they've gone mad!" The villager stammered, his voice shaking violently, fear almost consuming him.
"What?!" Lu Zhiyuan and Xuan Yang exclaimed in unison, as if struck by lightning, their scalps tingling. The Shadows had actually controlled the ability users in the village? How could this be possible?!
"We need to go back quickly!" Lu Zhiyuan decided on the spot; he knew there was no time to investigate the cause. They had to return immediately to stop this internal chaos, or the village would be doomed!
Xuan Yang nodded heavily, grabbing Qu Si Yang's hand as the three of them sprinted toward the village.
Along the way, Xuan Yang's thoughts raced like a wild horse. How had the Shadows managed to control the ability users in the village? Was it some kind of special ability? He recalled the mural he had seen earlier in the dilapidated temple, which depicted an ability called "Mind Control," capable of manipulating others' thoughts and actions—extremely dangerous.
Could it be that the Shadows were using this ability to control the village's ability users? If that were true, things would be dire. Mind Control was notoriously difficult to break; even Lu Zhiyuan might find it impossible to counter. He needed to find a way to stop the Shadows; otherwise, the village would fall into irretrievable ruin.
As they reached the village entrance, Xuan Yang's heart dropped at the sight before him. The village was in chaos—sounds of fighting and screams filled the air, flames soared into the sky, and thick smoke billowed like a hellish inferno. The air was thick with a nauseating stench of blood and charred flesh.
Xuan Yang's fury erupted like a volcano. Damn it, Shadows! I will tear you apart!
"Xuan Yang, watch out!" Lu Zhiyuan suddenly shouted and pushed Xuan Yang aside.
A shadow fell from above, crashing heavily to the ground with a deafening thud that shook the earth.
Xuan Yang focused his gaze and saw an ability user shrouded in darkness standing there, wielding a black longsword that flickered with an eerie red light, like hellfire that sent chills down one’s spine. The user's Dual Eyes were hollow and lifeless, moving mechanically as they swung their sword at the surrounding villagers.
"Minions of the Shadows!" Lu Zhiyuan gritted his teeth, fury blazing in his eyes.
"Village Chief, let me handle him!" Xuan Yang said in a deep voice. He knew this was not the time for hesitation; the controlled ability user had to be dealt with swiftly.
Taking a deep breath, he focused his mind and sensed the shadows around him. He discovered that numerous shadows surrounded the ability user, lurking like ghosts in the darkness, waiting for the right moment to strike.
With a thought, Xuan Yang commanded the shadows as if leading an army into battle, launching a fierce assault on the ability user. Countless shadows surged forth like black tentacles from all directions, encircling him completely.
The ability user swung his longsword, attempting to fend off the shadowy attacks, but they clung to him like maggots, binding him tightly and rendering him immobile.
"Damn it!" The ability user roared in anger, a flicker of fear flashing in his eyes.
He struggled desperately to break free from the shadows' grip, but it was futile. The shadows tightened around him like giant pythons, constricting him until he could barely breathe.
"Let me go!" he cried out in despair, his voice hoarse like a trapped beast's lament.
"Not a chance," Xuan Yang replied coldly, devoid of any pity.
The shadows gradually constricted, enveloping the ability user's body entirely, transforming him into a black cocoon.
With a piercing scream, the ability user's form began to dissipate, ultimately turning into a wisp of black smoke that vanished into thin air.
Xuan Yang let out a sigh of relief; he knew he had temporarily dealt with this controlled ability user.
But he also understood that this was just the beginning. The forces of darkness lurked in the shadows like venomous snakes ready to strike at any moment.
He had to find the Shadow quickly and eliminate this menace once and for all to ensure the safety of the village.
He turned to look at Lu Zhiyuan, only to find Lu Zhiyuan gazing back at him, eyes filled with appreciation and expectation.
"Xuan Yang, you did very well," Lu Zhiyuan said sincerely.
Xuan Yang nodded. He understood that he bore a heavy responsibility; he had to become stronger to protect those he cared about.
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from afar, causing the ground to tremble beneath them.
Xuan Yang's heart tightened as a sense of foreboding washed over him once more.
He looked up and saw a massive black vortex forming in the sky, emanating a terrifying aura as if it intended to swallow everything whole.
"What is that?" Qu Si Yang asked in terror, his voice trembling.
"I don't know," Xuan Yang shook his head, filled with confusion and unease.
Could it be the Shadow?
He had a strong feeling that this terrifying presence was connected to the Shadow.
The black vortex grew larger, gradually enveloping the entire sky, as if the apocalypse was upon them.
Suddenly, a gigantic black claw emerged from the vortex, glimmering with an eerie red light, like a demonic hand from hell.
The black claw reached toward the village with astonishing speed, as if it intended to destroy the entire settlement.
"This is bad!" Lu Zhiyuan exclaimed, his face turning pale.
He understood that if this claw caught him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He hurriedly activated his abilities, trying to stop the attack of the black claw, but his strength seemed insignificant and could not halt its advance.
The black claw drew closer, threatening to grasp the village at any moment.
In this critical moment, a golden light erupted from Xuan Yang's body, enveloping him entirely, as if a celestial being had descended.
The golden light collided with the black claw, producing a deafening roar that shook the heavens and earth.
As the golden light gradually faded, the black claw also vanished without a trace.
Xuan Yang stood there, exuding a powerful aura like a war god, imposing and majestic.
He lifted his head to gaze at the black vortex in the sky, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.
"Shadow, I will defeat you for sure!"
Taking a deep breath, he knew that the real battle was just beginning.
