The black feathered vortex resembled a giant, all-consuming black hole, interwoven with an oppressive force that suffocated the air. The atmosphere was thick with a sense of imminent danger, like the calm before a storm. Li Tuosen and Chu Yao gripped their broken weapons tightly, their knuckles turning white from the pressure. Their minds were as calm as if submerged in icy water, fully prepared to face the worst outcome. The mysterious woman before them was like a demon crawling out of the dark abyss, radiating an overwhelming and despair-inducing power. No matter how hard they struggled, it seemed impossible to shake her unyielding resolve, as if they were but insignificant insects attempting to halt an unstoppable force.
But just as the moment of despair, akin to the arrival of the apocalypse, seemed inevitable, a sharp beam of light, as if slicing through eternal night, suddenly tore through the endless darkness. In an instant, it illuminated the entire shadowed space, dispersing the suffocating oppression.
"Stop!" A deep, authoritative command rang out, striking everyone like a boulder falling from the sky. The voice contained an irresistible, powerful force, like the decree of a king, unquestionable.
Everyone turned as if drawn by an invisible force. There, slowly emerging from the blinding light, stood a figure that seemed to belong to a deity. She was a woman clad in black armor as cold and hard as obsidian, her long, dark hair flowing like a waterfall, shimmering with a mysterious gleam. Her eyes, as vast and deep as the night sky, gleamed with infinite wisdom and awe-inspiring power. Her arrival was like a meteor breaking through the silent night, a fleeting glimpse that stirred the still waters of their hearts, leaving them in stunned silence.
Her presence was formidable and chilling, like a warrior from ancient mythology. She walked gracefully, as if taking a leisurely stroll, her piercing gaze locked onto the evil woman radiating dark energy, like an eagle eyeing its prey.
"You are unworthy to control their fate, you vile existence that desecrates life," she said calmly but with a sharpness like a blade slicing through the air. Every word felt like a heavy blow to the mysterious woman’s heart.
Li Tuosen and Chu Yao, like drowning men clinging to a lifeline, gazed at this woman who seemed like a divine savior, their hearts filled with endless confusion and amazement. Who was this woman, so powerful? Why did she have such overwhelming strength? And why was she helping them?
The mysterious woman’s cold, snake-like eyes flashed with disbelief, but in an instant, her lips curled into a mocking smile, as if laughing at the futile efforts of an insignificant ant.
"Who are you to interfere with my affairs?" she sneered, her voice dripping with disdain and contempt, "Do you think that with your insignificant power, you can change the fate that has already been determined? You're dreaming!"
However, the new female protagonist, shining like the moon in the night sky, simply smiled gently. Her eyes gleamed with sharp confidence, like a sword about to be unsheathed.
"I’ve come to forcibly tear a gap in the fate overshadowed by darkness, a gap where hope can be seen," she declared, her voice like thunder splitting the silent sky, full of confidence and a power that struck fear into the heart. It felt as though she was announcing to the entire dark world that a new turning point, a future filled with hope, was about to unfold before them.
As her words fell, she raised her delicate arm, as if conducting an orchestra, and with a swift motion, she sent a golden beam of light slicing through the suffocating darkness. The dark, oppressive force shattered like dissipating storm clouds, and the air, which had once been stagnant, once again became clear and flowing. Her power, like a sudden storm, was fierce and powerful, yet it seemed perfectly controlled, as if orchestrated by some precise instrument, with no hint of chaos.
Li Tuosen and Chu Yao, like two travelers lost in the fog, exchanged glances. Their hearts felt as though they had been struck by a giant stone, causing waves of doubt and amazement. Who was this woman, and how did she possess the power to easily shatter the suffocating darkness? Was she an enemy or an ally?
"I am..." Her voice, like thunder tearing through the clouds, was solemn and reverent, reaching the ears of everyone present with a resonant force, "My name is—Lin Xi."
The moment Lin Xi spoke her name, a strange and awe-inspiring resonance seemed to echo through the darkened space. It was as if her name itself contained a mysterious power capable of destroying the world, shaking the very air around them.
"Lin Xi?" Li Tuosen murmured, repeating the name he had never heard before. His instincts, like a lighted lamp, clearly told him that this mysterious woman, who seemed to have descended from the heavens, was bound to have an inseparable connection to their fate, as fragile as a candle in the wind.
Chu Yao, like a vigilant leopard, watched the powerful woman with even more caution. Her heart was filled with distrust and suspicion.
"You suddenly appear here. What is your purpose?" Chu Yao's voice was cold, filled with suspicion and wariness.
Lin Xi, like the brightest star in the night sky, smiled slightly. Her eyes reflected endless starlight, showing a hint of pity, as if she had seen through their inner pain and despair.
"Your fate has been controlled by the evil Black Feather King from the very beginning, like puppets in his hands, with no freedom at all. I have come to break all the shackles binding you, to rescue you from the abyss of darkness," she said with undeniable resolve, her voice like a declaration of war against the darkness. "The true power you possess is far greater than the feeble display you are showing now. I will guide you through the maze of fate and lead you toward the bright future you are meant to have."
Li Tuosen and Chu Yao were struck by her words, as though struck by a lightning bolt. They were deeply shocked by her power and confidence, which far surpassed anything they had imagined.
But just as they sought to learn more about this mysterious woman, a cold voice, like the echo from the depths of hell, once again reverberated in the air, filled with an ominous threat.
"You pitiful ants, you will never escape the cold, preordained chains of fate. All your struggles are in vain." The Black Feather King’s voice rumbled like a roar from the abyss, filled with despairing threat and mockery.
Lin Xi's deep, night-sky-like eyes flashed with an icy coldness, like thousand-year-old ice. Unfazed, she turned to face the Black Feather King, her tone firm and resolute, like an oath cast in stone.
"Fate is not unchangeable, as if etched on a tombstone, Black Feather King. Do you think that just because you control their sorrowful past, you can freely decide their future, filled with endless possibilities? You are wrong!" Her voice rang out like cold steel, striking at the Black Feather King's dark core with unwavering precision.
For a moment, the Black Feather King, like an enraged beast, was silent. Then, from the depths of the darkness, came a low, ominous laugh, like a serpent’s hiss, sending a chill down the spine.
"Then let me see what insignificant change you, a foolish intruder, can bring!" he said coldly, and with a deafening roar, the dark, tangible force once again began to swirl, as if summoned by some evil power, preparing to devour everything in its path.
With a thunderous explosion that tore through the night sky, the fierce battle erupted again, like a wildfire out of control. Lin Xi’s figure streaked across the sky like lightning, without hesitation or fear, a fearless warrior challenging the Black Feather King, as a battle for their fate once again began to unfold.
