Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 313 Dark Shadow

The ruins here have obviously been abandoned for many years. The traces of time are like a thick layer of dust, covering every ancient stone. The lines on the wall are blurred, as if the former glory has been gently wiped away by the big hand of time.

Shen Yun walked slowly through the ruins, his steps slow, fearing to disturb the sleeping history. He looked around, his eyes full of curiosity and desire to explore. But no matter how carefully he looked, he did not find any signs of human activity.

The ancient stone pillars stand alone, as if telling stories of the past. They may have witnessed countless glories and honors, but now they can only watch silently in silence. The stone slabs on the ground are broken, and tender green grass grows in the cracks, tenaciously showing the power of life.

The ruins cover a vast area, like an ancient city forgotten by time. When you step into it, you feel like you are in a mysterious world, filled with an ancient and vicissitudes of life.

At first, everyone could still see each other, and they explored forward cautiously with excitement and nervousness. Everyone stared with wide eyes, carefully observing everything around them, fearing that they would miss any corner that might hide treasures or secrets.

However, as the exploration deepened, the distance between them became greater and greater. The passages in the ruins were intricate and complex, like a huge maze. Some passages were spacious and bright, with mysterious lights flashing on the walls; others were narrow and dark, filled with a mysterious atmosphere. As they continued to move forward in this maze-like ruins, their figures gradually became more and more blurred.

Everyone was concentrating on exploring the ruins, and no one, including Shen Yun, noticed that a dark shadow quietly passed by behind them.

The shadow was like a ghostly phantom, moving at an extremely fast speed, almost blending into the surrounding darkness. It silently shuttled between the ancient walls and stone pillars, as if it was part of the ruins.

The air seemed to fluctuate slightly wherever the shadow passed, but no one noticed. Its shape was blurry and it was difficult to tell its exact appearance, leaving only a faint afterimage.

While everyone was still immersed in their curiosity and exploration of the ruins, the black shadow quietly observed their every move. Its eyes flashed with a mysterious red light, as if it was calculating something.

Perhaps it was because everyone was so focused that they ignored the subtle changes around them, or perhaps it was because the shadow's actions were too secretive. In short, in this mysterious ruins, the shadow was like a ghost hiding in the dark, silently watching everything.

"Brother Yun, come quickly!" Lin Ruyi's clear voice rang out in the ruins. She waved her arms excitedly, signaling Shen Yun to come over. Her eyes flashed with surprise and curiosity, as if she had discovered some great treasure.

Hearing this, Shen Yun moved like lightning, and in a few steps he stood beside Lin Ruyi. His eyes were instantly attracted by the scene in front of Lin Ruyi.

"Brother Yun, look, there is a stone tablet here." Lin Ruyi couldn't wait to pull apart the dense vines. Those vines seemed to be the guardians of time, tightly wrapped around the stone tablet. As the vines were slowly uncovered, the true face of the stone tablet gradually emerged.

The stone tablet was old and vicissitudes, covered with traces of time. It stood there quietly, as if telling a forgotten history. Shen Yun stared at the stone tablet closely, and an inexplicable awe surged in his heart.

"Look at this font, it seems to be different from the font we use now." Shen Yun reached out and stroked the stone tablet, and his fingertips felt the stone tablet's cold and rough touch. His eyes were focused and solemn, carefully observing the fonts on the stone tablet. Those fonts were strange in shape, with complex and mysterious strokes, and were obviously different from the fonts they were familiar with.

There were three large characters engraved on the stone tablet in an unknown font. Shen Yun roughly guessed that the three characters should be "Blood Refining Sect" from the shape of the characters and the font currently used. These three characters seemed to carry a mysterious power, which made people imagine. What is the Blood Refining Sect? Is it an ancient sect? Or a mysterious organization? Shen Yun's heart was full of questions. He knew that this discovery might reveal some of the secrets of the ruins.

"Ruyi, have you ever heard of the Blood Refining Sect?" Shen Yun asked, his eyes full of anticipation, hoping to get some clues from Lin Ruyi.

Lin Ruyi thought for a moment, frowned slightly, and a thoughtful look appeared in her eyes. Then she shook her head gently and said, "Brother Yun, I have never heard of the Blood Refining Sect. Although my Lin family claims to control the ruins, the actual situation, Brother Yun, you have also seen that my Lin family's understanding of the ruins is just the tip of the iceberg."

"Ah, what is that!" A terrified cry suddenly rang out in the ruins. The sound was sharp and trembling, instantly breaking the original tranquility. Then, several more screams were heard one after another.

"Ah!" "Ah!" The screams came one after another, full of pain and fear. It was obvious that a member of the Lin family was threatened. In this mysterious ruins, every scream was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone's heart hard.

Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi looked at each other, and without any hesitation, they immediately rushed towards the place where the sound came from. Shen Yun moved and rushed forward like a flash of lightning, and Lin Ruyi followed closely behind him, with the long sword in his hand emitting a faint light.

Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi looked at each other and rushed towards the place where the sound came from.

However, just as they were about to leave, a dark shadow suddenly appeared from the darkness like a ghost. The shadow appeared without any sign, as if it had come out of thin air, instantly breaking the tranquility around them.

The black shadow was extremely fast, like lightning across the night sky, approaching them almost instantly. Shen Yun suddenly felt a sense of alarm, a sharp intuition honed by long-term life and death. Almost instinctively, he pulled Lin Ruyi behind him and retreated rapidly. His movements were decisive and swift, without the slightest hesitation. The black shadow pounced on nothing, but did not stop, but turned in the air and attacked them again. The black shadow's movements were smooth, as if he had accurately calculated his attack route.

The shadow exuded a gloomy aura, which seemed to come from the netherworld, making people shudder. Shen Yun looked closely, but could only see a vague outline. The shadow seemed to be shrouded in a layer of mysterious mist, making it impossible to distinguish its specific appearance. He did not dare to be careless. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and a long sword appeared instantly. The sword body flashed with cold light, as if telling of its sharpness and toughness. Shen Yun held the hilt tightly, his eyes full of vigilance, ready to meet the shadow's attack again.
