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

Chapter 228 Flaw

Just as the man was stunned, the little spirit beast that had been waiting for an opportunity beside him seized this perfect chance.

With a burst of strength from its limbs, it leaped into the air, its entire body tracing a graceful arc.

As it approached the shadowy figure, the little spirit beast opened its mouth, which was filled with sharp fangs, and pounced on the shadowy figure with overwhelming force.

The atmosphere on the field became extremely tense.

However, what was truly astonishing was the fierce attack launched by that small, seemingly ferocious spirit beast.

It was as if a stone had sunk into the sea, having absolutely no effect on the sinister and eerie black figure before them.

Not only that, but they couldn't even touch a single hair on the dark figure.

Seeing how easily its attack was defeated, the shadowy figure became even more arrogant, laughing wildly.

"Hahahaha... Did you see that? In this mysterious place, you bunch of overconfident fools, even if you use all your skills, you won't be able to hurt me in the slightest!"

Upon hearing this, Huan Yuechu, who was standing to the side, frowned deeply and pondered to herself.

What kind of demon is this dark figure?

Why does it possess such powerful defensive capabilities?

Could it be that it possesses some unknown special ability?

After much deliberation, a thought suddenly flashed into her mind—this dark figure was very likely a kind of spirit!

As is well known, ordinary physical attacks are often ineffective against spirits.

Having figured this out, Huan Yuechu made a decisive move and quickly mobilized the spiritual power within her body.

Suddenly, the longsword she gripped tightly emitted a layer of eerie blue light, as dazzling as a star twinkling in the night sky.

At the same time, she began to chant an obscure and difficult-to-understand incantation in a low voice.

The man who had been observing the situation immediately understood what was going on.

He quickly intertwined his hands, forming a series of complex and mysterious hand seals.

As his hand seals changed, a vast and powerful force surged from his body, sweeping around like a surging wave.

At this moment, even the little spirit beast that had been somewhat discouraged seemed to have rekindled its fighting spirit.

A dazzling golden halo slowly began to surround its small body, making it appear even more majestic and extraordinary.

Just then, Huan Yuechu, the man, and the little spirit beast seemed to reach some kind of tacit understanding.

They exerted their strength almost simultaneously and rushed towards the dark figure.

In an instant, sword shadows, palm winds, and spiritual light intertwined, weaving together a dense, impenetrable net that swept over the dark figure.

This time, their attack struck the shadowy figure with perfect accuracy.

Suddenly, an extremely shrill scream rang out, echoing throughout the entire mysterious place.

It turns out that this mysterious black shadow was completely unafraid of ordinary physical attacks.

However, spells specifically designed to target spiritual energy can damage it.

After being hit, the shadowy figure became enraged, and its body suddenly swelled to several times its original size.

The already dense aura of darkness now spread like ink all around, sending chills down one's spine.

It bared its teeth and claws, charging wildly towards the three people in front of it as if it were in a frenzy.

Upon seeing this, the man and Huan Yue immediately began to work together in perfect unison.

The man held a shield, concentrating intently on his defense.

Huan Yuechu, wielding a longsword, launched an attack with agile movements.

Meanwhile, the small and adorable spirit beasts on the side were not to be outdone, seizing every opportunity to launch sneak attacks from unexpected angles.

However, as time went on, the shadowy attacks became increasingly fierce and violent, and the man and Huan Yuechu gradually began to feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Huan Yuechu's smooth forehead was already covered with fine beads of sweat, and the sword moves she made were no longer as sharp and swift as they had been at the beginning.

The man gritted his teeth and struggled to withstand the overwhelming onslaught of the dark figure.

With wide eyes, he scrutinized every detail, trying to find any possible flaws in the shadowy figure.

Just as the situation was becoming increasingly critical, the man suddenly noticed a crucial piece of information—every time the shadowy figure launched an attack...

A barely perceptible glimmer of light would appear on the right side of its body for an extremely brief moment.

Based on his years of combat experience, the man immediately judged that this was likely the shadowy figure's fatal weakness!

The man lowered his voice and quietly told Huan Yuechu, who was standing next to him, about his discovery.

Huan Yue nodded slightly, indicating that she understood his meaning.

Just as the shadowy figure launched its next attack, the two, as if by telepathy, deliberately exposed an opening, feigning a weak defense.

As expected, the shadowy figure lunged to the left without hesitation.

In the blink of an eye, the man quickly gathered all his spiritual power, his hands forming hand seals as fast as phantoms.

In an instant, a dazzling white beam of light shot out from his hand, flying straight toward the right side of the shadowy figure.

At the same time, Huan Yuechu seized the opportunity and suddenly thrust out the sword in her hand that contained powerful spiritual energy. The sword's momentum was extremely fierce, as if it would tear the void apart.

Meanwhile, the little spirit beast that had been waiting for its chance was not idle either; it opened its little mouth.

Instantly, a dazzling golden light wave was emitted, which, along with the man's and Huan Yuechu's attacks, struck the obvious weak point on the right side of the shadowy figure.

A chilling, piercing scream echoed from the dark figure.

Immediately afterwards, the dark aura that had enveloped it dissipated rapidly, as if swept away by a whirlwind.

Clearly, this sudden and fierce attack severely injured the shadowy figure.

However, even at this point, the shadowy figure was already at its last gasp and exhausted.

But the resentment deep within its heart burned as fiercely as a raging fire.

The dark figure stared intently at its enemy with blood-red eyes, letting out a low, venomous roar.

"I will repay this grudge tenfold in the future! Just you wait and see!"

The sound was like the cry of an owl, sending chills down one's spine.

No sooner had he finished speaking than the dark figure suddenly spread his arms wide, and a thick black mist emanated from his body.

As the black mist continued to churn and surge, the figure of the shadow gradually became blurred.

In the blink of an eye, the dark figure vanished completely without leaving a trace, as if it had never been there at all.

Seeing this, the man and Huan Yuechu, who had been on edge, finally breathed a long sigh of relief.
