Chapter 20: The Black Horde

Qin Ying and Yang Lin were standing still, holding their weapons, ready to meet the incoming black shadow. The black shadow gradually approached, but suddenly stopped a short distance away from them.

Lin Qiang whispered, "What is it waiting for?"

Qin Ying stared at the black shadow and said, "Be careful, it might not just be one."

The two held their breaths, waiting for the black shadow's next move.

Suddenly, a huge black mist burst out from the black shadow. The mist quickly spread around them, enveloping them completely.

Qin Ying and Yang Lin were surrounded by the thick black mist, unable to see anything. They could only hear the sound of the black mist swirling around them.

The black mist slowly condensed into a huge black beast. The beast's eyes glowed with a red - yellow light, and its body was covered with a layer of black scales.

The black beast roared, and the sound echoed in the air.

Qin Ying and Yang Lin were shocked by the sudden appearance of the black beast. They stared at the black beast, ready to fight.

The black beast slowly walked towards them, its eyes fixed on them.

Qin Ying said, "It's coming. Get ready to fight."

Yang Lin nodded, gripping his weapon tightly.

The black beast opened its mouth, revealing its sharp teeth. It roared again, and the sound shook the ground.

Qin Ying and Yang Lin stood their ground, ready to face the black beast's attack.

"Right," Qin Yao's voice was low, "it is an emissary of the 'Source', or rather, it is one of the wills of the 'Source'."

The strange beast let out a low growl, and the vibrating air made the two feel a sense of pressure. Its eyes were fixed on Qin Yao and Lin Yao, as if waiting for an opportunity.

"It seems to be communicating with us?" Lin Yao asked in surprise.

Qin Yao shook his head, his gaze sharp as a knife: "No, it is just testing us. It must know that we have just sealed the 'Source'. This battle will not be easy."

Suddenly, the strange beast opened its mouth and released a powerful burst of dark energy, lunging at the two. Qin Yao quickly stepped in front of Lin Yao, raised his weapon, and released a beam of light, attempting to block the attack.

However, this dark energy was like a wild beast, not only extremely powerful but also unpredictable. Qin Yao gritted his teeth against the shock of the impact and, holding Lin Yao, jumped aside to avoid the fatal blow.

Qin Yao gripped the sword in his hand tightly, a determined look in his eyes: "This monster is not one we can easily defeat, but it is not invincible either. It has weaknesses, and we just need to find them."

At that moment, a strange red light flashed in the monster's eyes, and the ground suddenly shook violently, as if the entire city was about to collapse. The surrounding runes emitted dazzling lights, and the energy fluctuations in the entire space were extremely intense.

"It's absorbing the energy here!" Qin Yao's eyes flashed with surprise, "We can't let it continue, or this city will be completely destroyed!"

Lin Yao's eyes were firm, and without hesitation, she said: "We must stop it!"

Suddenly, the monster let out a deafening roar, and the surrounding energy began to converge towards it. Its size gradually increased, and its strength grew with it. Seeing that it was about to become unstoppable, Qin Yao gritted his teeth and suddenly leaped forward, charging towards the monster's chest.

"Yao Yao!" Qin Yao shouted loudly, "Give me some support!"

A resolute look flashed in Lin Yao's eyes. She gathered all her strength, injected the last bit of energy into the light, and fiercely shot it towards the monster's chest.

This time, the light hit the mark accurately. Suddenly, a violent explosion came from the monster's chest, and the entire city shook even more violently. The monster let out a painful howl, and its size immediately began to shrink, and the red light in its eyes gradually faded.

However, it did not completely disappear. It seemed to have only been severely injured. The monster angrily let out a final roar, preparing to launch its last attack.

"Yao Yao, get ready!" Qin Yao shouted, tightly holding her hand, ready to face the final decisive battle with her.
