Abyss Walker

Chapter 179 Potential Dangers

Dugu Sword quietly guarded him. It knew that Yun Muhan had taken an important step, but the road ahead was still long. It had to be vigilant at all times to ensure that Yun Muhan would not fall into darkness.

The blade of the Dugu Sword glowed faintly, its power closely linked to Yun Muhan's will, together facing the challenges of the future.

Yun Muhan looked up at the sky. He knew that this was just the beginning. He had a long road ahead and many more swords to find.

But his heart was filled with determination, and no matter how many difficulties lay ahead, he would not give up.

Yun Muhan will continue his journey to find other sword spirits, carrying the Dugu Sword, to fulfill his mission.

Dugu Sword silently accompanied him, its blade emitting a faint light, as if telling Yun Muhan that no matter what, it would always be his strongest supporter.

Dugu Jianling: "Where's the next stop?"

Yun Muhan stood up, summoned the Dugu Sword in his hand, and watched the surroundings warily as the sword flared slightly.

His eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, revealing his years of combat experience and keen sense of danger.

He could clearly sense the subtle changes in the air, as if something was watching them from the shadows, which made his body tense, ready to deal with any possible threat at any time.

Yun Muhan gripped the sword hilt tightly, the tip of the sword trembling slightly, as if responding to its master's tense emotions.

Dugu Jianling said in a low voice, "It seems we've been targeted."

There was a hint of barely perceptible excitement in his voice, as if he was looking forward to the upcoming battle.

Yun Muhan nodded, his gaze sweeping around, trying to spot any hidden enemies. He knew that in this unknown place, any small oversight could have fatal consequences.

He was highly focused, with every sense activated, searching for any possible clues.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it an unusual atmosphere.

This aura was completely out of place with the surrounding environment, causing Yun Muhan's nerves to tense up instantly.

Yun Muhan turned around abruptly, and Dugu Sword drew a trail of flames, pointing directly at a corner in the shadows.

The light of the flames illuminated the shadows where the sword tip pointed, revealing a lurking figure.

The figure emerged in the flames, its eyes gleaming with a cold light, clearly not a friendly being.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling were both prepared for battle, knowing that the upcoming fight might be even more intense and dangerous than the previous ones.

Yun Muhan's heart beat slightly faster, but there was no fear on his face, only a desire for battle and confidence in victory.

He knew that no matter who his opponent was, he would use the Dugu Sword in his hand to protect his body and will, and not allow any dark forces to invade him.

"Show yourself, you cowardly coward!" Yun Muhan shouted, and the flames on the tip of his sword burned even brighter.

The figure slowly emerged from the shadows, wearing a black cloak and a silver mask that revealed only a pair of deep eyes, giving off a mysterious and unpredictable feeling.

His steps were light, as if he had no contact with the ground. This almost supernatural way of moving made Yun Muhan and Dugu Jian feel a little pressure.

"You two are really something to look forward to." The man in black's voice was deep and hoarse, as if it came from the darkness in the distance, carrying a chilling aura.

His gaze swept back and forth between Dugu Jianling and Yun Muhan, seemingly assessing their combat strength, his eyes revealing the scrutiny of a hunter towards his prey.

Dugu Jianling and Yun Muhan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with understanding and determination. They knew that the man in black before them was no ordinary person, and was likely the most powerful opponent they had ever encountered.

They gripped their weapons tightly, ready for the impending battle; their bodies were taut, prepared to react at any moment.

The Dugu Sword in Yun Muhan's hand flared slightly, its tip pointing directly at the man in black. His body sank slightly, assuming a stance ready to attack at any moment.

Dugu Jianling was by Yun Muhan's side, his spiritual consciousness fused with the sword, ready to assist Yun Muhan at any time and unleash his full combat power.

The surrounding air seemed to become heavy because of the standoff between the three. The sounds of the wind, the crackling of the flames, and the roar of the distant volcano all temporarily subsided, as if the whole world was waiting for what was about to happen.

The battle between the man in black, Yun Muhan, and Dugu Jianling is about to erupt, with each of them searching for the perfect moment to deliver a fatal blow.

"The next stop will be your final destination," the man in black said with a cold laugh. His body suddenly blurred, as if merging into the surrounding air.

Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling immediately separated, knowing that this enemy was skilled in stealth and ambush.

Yun Muhan's heart pounded violently in his chest, and he could feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

He knew that this man in black was no ordinary opponent, and that every move he made was fraught with danger.

"Be careful, he might use illusion magic."

Dugu Jianling reminded him, his eyes fixed on the spot where the man in black had disappeared, the flame at the tip of his sword burning with the same vigilance as his heart.

In the tense atmosphere, a cold glint suddenly flashed from Yun Muhan's left side, like a bolt of lightning in the night, breaking the silence.

Yun Muhan reacted quickly and instinctively, swinging his sword to block almost at the same time the light appeared.

Dugu Jian clashed with the black-clad man's weapon, producing a crisp metallic clang and sparks flying, illuminating the black-clad man's figure for a fleeting moment.

The figure in black was like a ghost; he appeared in an instant and disappeared in the next, as if he had never been there.

This almost supernatural speed of movement and ability to hide caused Yun Muhan to frown deeply.

He knew he was facing an extremely dangerous opponent, a master who could launch an attack and disappear in an instant.

"He's too fast!" Yun Muhan shouted, his eyes searching around, trying to catch a glimpse of the man in black.

Dugu Jianling didn't answer. He closed his eyes and began to use his hearing and intuition to perceive everything around him. He knew that sometimes the eyes could deceive, but in this life-or-death moment, other senses might be more reliable.

Suddenly, he felt a cold wind coming from behind him. He leaped forward and turned to swing his sword.

The sword tip collided with the black-clad man's weapon, producing a crisp metallic sound.

Dugu Jianling opened his eyes and saw a hint of surprise on the face of the man in black.

"How did you find me?" The man in black asked with a hint of curiosity. Dugu Jianling didn't answer; he simply stared coldly at his opponent, the flames on his sword tip burning even brighter, as if proclaiming his resolve.

Yun Muhan also joined the battle, standing back to back with Dugu Jianling, forming an impenetrable defensive circle.

They knew that only through tacit cooperation could they find a chance to survive in the face of this powerful enemy.

The man in black seemed to realize Yun Muhan's alertness and reaction speed, and his body became blurred again, like smoke, elusive and hard to grasp.

Immediately afterwards, his figure suddenly split into three shadows, attacking Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling from three different directions. This move not only tested Yun Muhan's combat skills, but also his judgment and reaction speed.

Each of the three shadows carried the same murderous aura, their movements swift and deadly, making it difficult to distinguish which one was the real person.

Their weapons gleamed coldly, aimed directly at Yun Muhan and Dugu Jianling's vitals. The angles and force of their attacks were meticulously calculated, designed to create maximum chaos and damage.

"Don't be fooled by illusions!" Dugu Jianling shouted. He and Yun Muhan immediately swung their swords, and flames and sword energy intertwined to form a solid defensive line.

The battle intensified, with each clash of swords becoming a life-or-death struggle.

Dugu Jianling and Yun Muhan must remain clear-headed and not be fooled by the black-clad man's illusions and speed.

Yun Muhan recalled the history recorded in his previous life: the black-clad man in Tianzhou, illusion? This is not illusion, it is a clone.
