At last, on a night thick with storm clouds, the mysterious figures launched their attack. Lightning flashed and thunder roared across the sky while fierce winds howled, as though playing a prelude to the coming battle. Like phantoms, the mysterious figures poured into the Lingxi Tribe from every direction. The Black Long Swords in their hands glimmered with an eerie light as they instantly clashed fiercely with the tribe's warriors.
The Lingxi Tribe's defenses proved somewhat effective. Many mysterious figures triggered spiritual energy traps and were blasted sprawling by the powerful force. However, there were too many of them, and they were no weaklings. They soon broke through the outer defenses and engaged the tribal warriors at close quarters. Shouts of battle and the crashes of colliding spells tangled together as the entire tribe fell into a sea of flames.
Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan swiftly joined the battle as well. The Five-Colored Ribbon danced in Chen Siyu's hand, blazing with light as it weaved through the enemy ranks like a nimble dragon. Wherever it passed, mysterious figures were driven back one after another. Chen Ruixuan, meanwhile, held a Slingshot and condensed pellets infused with Chaos Power, firing them precisely at the enemies' vital points. Every pellet carried immense force, erupting in a dazzling flash upon impact and blasting the mysterious figures back again and again.
Inspired by the siblings, the Lingxi Tribe's warriors were greatly invigorated and fought bravely. They drove the Qilin Beasts into a desperate struggle against the mysterious figures. The Qilin Beasts roared repeatedly, attacking their enemies with sharp horns and razor claws, causing the mysterious figures no small amount of trouble.
Yet the mysterious figures seemed unconcerned by their casualties. Their goal was clear: they continued pressing toward the altar at the center of the tribe. The black-robed man stood at the rear, directing them, madness gleaming in his eyes. "Move faster! Start the ritual! Ignore these ants!"
Chen Siyu keenly sensed their intentions and shouted to Chen Ruixuan, "Little brother, we can't let them get near the altar. Let's stop them!" The siblings immediately changed direction and charged toward the altar.
On the road leading to the altar, the mysterious figures had set up layer upon layer of defenses. Several stronger ones held black staffs and muttered incantations, sending waves of dark magic hurtling toward Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan. Chen Siyu swiftly wielded the Five-Colored Ribbon, forming a sturdy barrier against the dark spells. Chen Ruixuan seized the opportunity to circle behind the mysterious figures and launch a surprise attack with his Slingshot.
Just as the two sides reached a stalemate, Chen Ruixuan suddenly noticed that whenever the mysterious figures cast spells, the runes on their staffs flickered with an unusual light. An idea struck him, and he shouted to Chen Siyu, "Sister, attack the runes on their staffs! That might be their weakness!"
At his words, Chen Siyu immediately directed the Five-Colored Ribbon, concentrating its power as it lashed toward the mysterious figures' staffs. The ribbon wrapped precisely around one staff and gave a hard tug, wrenching it from its owner's grasp. Without his staff, that mysterious figure's spells lost much of their power, and a Lingxi Tribe warrior took the chance to drive him back.
Seeing this, the other mysterious figures hurriedly strengthened their protection of their staffs. But Chen Siyu and Chen Ruixuan had already found an opening to defeat them. Working closely with the Lingxi Tribe's warriors, they continuously searched for chances to attack the mysterious figures' staffs. Amid the fierce fighting, cracks gradually appeared in the enemy's defensive line... At the same time, near the altar, the black-robed man was preparing to activate the evil ritual. He held a Crystal Ball radiating a dense dark aura in his hand and muttered an incantation. An even greater crisis was about to descend...
