Chapter 271 The frightened girl
The Tianshi Sword in his hand flickered with a faint light, and the tip of the sword pointed at the black shadow.
With a low shout, the sword light suddenly cut through the darkness and pierced straight into the core of the shadow!
The black shadow let out a shrill scream, and its body seemed to be torn apart by the sword energy, and it instantly dissipated in the air.
However, the ghost's cunningness far exceeded Chen Yile's expectations. The moment the sword light dissipated, the fragments of the black shadow unexpectedly re-condensed in the air and returned to the corner in the blink of an eye.
Its body twisted even more strangely, as if it was completely enraged. A cold aura surged wildly in the room, as if it was going to freeze the entire room.
Chen Yile frowned slightly, gripped the Heavenly Master Sword tightly, and said in a deep voice: "He is indeed a tricky guy."
His eyes remained firm, and he was not moved at all by the other party's strange tactics.
The black shadow's hideous face was faintly visible in the dim light. It seemed to realize that Chen Yile was not easy to deal with. It then let out a low and strange laugh, and its body disappeared into the air again.
This time, the negative energy in the room suddenly intensified, and the temperature around seemed to have dropped to freezing point. Chen Yile could even see his breath condensing into white mist.
He glanced around alertly and detected a slight noise.
The black shadow did not give up the attack, but waited in secret for the right opportunity to attack again.
The oppressive feeling in the air grew stronger, as if something was approaching.
Suddenly, a very subtle sound came from behind.
Chen Yile reacted extremely quickly, turning around in an instant, and the Tianshi Sword drew a sharp arc.
As soon as the sword swept past, a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the shadows, carrying a strong evil aura and attacking Chen Yile's neck.
However, Chen Yile's reaction was faster than it. The Tianshi Sword blocked the attack with incredible precision. The sword edge and the black shadow's claws triggered a sharp friction sound.
Sparks flew everywhere, but Chen Yile's feet were as steady as a rock. The black shadow was shaken back a few steps, turned into a ball of empty mist, and floated in the air again.
"Hmph, is that all you can do?" Chen Yile sneered, with a hint of contempt in his eyes.
His indestructible body had been trained to perfection long ago. Although the ghost in front of him was evil and menacing, it could not hurt him at all.
The black shadow seemed to be aware of this as well. Its shape kept changing in the air, as if it was thinking of a new way to attack.
Chen Yile was neither hurried nor hurried. He stood firmly where he was, waiting for the other party to reveal a flaw.
Finally, the black shadow attacked again.
This time, it did not attack head-on, but turned into several blurry afterimages and pounced on Chen Yile from all directions at the same time.
Each afterimage carried an extremely strong evil aura, as if it wanted to surround him and trap him in place.
Chen Yile snorted coldly and moved instantly.
He lightly tapped his feet, and his whole body moved among the afterimages like a stream of light. The Tianshi Sword was swung in the air like a spirit snake, and each sword hit a black shadow accurately.
With each swing of the sword, the black shadow would let out a shrill scream, and its body would be torn into pieces by the sword energy, gradually becoming weak.
However, the black shadow was extremely fast and refused to retreat easily even though he was injured.
It seemed to have given up everything and transformed into dozens of smaller shadows, rushing towards Chen Yile frantically, as if trying to make up for the difference in strength with numbers.
Chen Yile's eyes turned slightly cold, and the Tianshi Sword in his hand shook violently, and a bright light suddenly flashed on the sword.
The light was like the sun's radiance, instantly filling the entire room and completely dispelling the surrounding darkness.
"It's over." Chen Yile said in a low voice, and the sword slashed across the air again. The sword light passed through the air like a silk thread and directly cut the core of the black shadow.
As the sword was swung, the black shadow let out an unprecedented scream, and its body began to rapidly collapse under the illumination of the light, turning into black mist and eventually disappearing into the air.
The negative energy in the room gradually dissipated, the temperature slowly rose, and everything returned to calm.
Chen Yile put away the Tianshi Sword and let out a breath.
His expression remained calm, but a hint of triumph flashed in his eyes.
He turned and walked towards the girls huddled in the corner.
Huang Xiaofang stood up trembling, her eyes filled with gratitude and fear, her voice tearing up: "Thank you, Brother Chen... We... almost..."
Chen Yile waved his hand and interrupted her: "It's okay, the matter has been resolved. You are safe now."
He walked over to the two unconscious girls and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that they were just frightened and not in danger of life.
Huang Xiaofang couldn't hold back her tears any longer, she fell to the ground and hugged her knees tightly.
Chen Yile didn't say much. He checked them briefly to make sure they were not corroded by the evil energy left by the ghosts.
Just as he was about to take a few people away, suddenly, there was a faint movement in the room, as if something was still in the dark and had not completely dissipated.
Chen Yile's eyes darkened, and he looked around vigilantly: "It seems that the evil spirit in this place is far more than just this one ghost..."
Chen Yile looked at Huang Xiaofang's tearful face and his heart trembled slightly.
She suddenly rushed forward and threw herself into his arms, her voice trembling with fear: "Brother Chen, I... I'm scared..."
Her hands clutched his clothes tightly, as if she was grabbing the last straw.
Chen Yile was stunned for a moment, then he gently patted her back with a soothing smile on his face: "It's okay, I'm here, don't be afraid."
His voice was gentle yet firm, like a ray of light in the dark abandoned building.
Huang Xiaofang sobbed, looked up at him, tears welling up in her eyes: "You are really the best anchor I have ever seen... I didn't expect you to really come to save us."
"I'm not here to save you, I'm here to explore." Chen Yile winked playfully, trying to put her at ease, and then added, "But since I've encountered someone, I definitely won't just stand by and watch them die."
Upon hearing this, Huang Xiaofang forced a smile, slowly loosened her hand, and stepped out of his arms.
She took a deep breath, seemed to muster up her courage, and said, "There are nine of us in total, four girls and five boys... Two boys died, leaving three, but they all ran away.
They are my classmates, I am afraid they are still in this building, please help me find them..."
Chen Yile's expression froze, and he felt a little uneasy when he heard this.
Two boys died? What on earth happened in this building?
But he didn't show any hesitation, just nodded: "Okay, I'll help you find it.
But I have to ask, do you mind if I go live?"
