The Dark Forces Strike Back

Chapter 18: The Dark Forces Strike Back. After successfully destroying the Dark Stronghold, the Alliance had not yet had time to rest and regroup before the Dark Forces, like an enraged behemoth, swiftly organized a massive counterattack. The shadow of darkness once again shrouded the Spirit Road World, and the Alliance faced a crisis unlike any it had encountered before. The Dark Forces began their counterattack with surprise assaults on the Alliance's camps. One peaceful morning, while the warriors at the Alliance camp near the Spirit Road Mountains were carrying out their daily spiritual power cultivation and patrols, a dense bank of dark clouds and mist suddenly blotted out the sky. Countless pairs of eerie red eyes flickered within the darkness, and then hordes of dark creatures surged out like a rising tide. These creatures came in all shapes and sizes. Dark birds with enormous wings and razor-sharp talons swooped down from the sky, spewing black flames and corrosive slime from their mouths. Huge, muscular Dark Behemoths shook the ground with every step, effortlessly trampling tents flat and sending Alliance warriors flying wherever they went. The Alliance warriors in the camp reacted swiftly, seizing their weapons and unleashing their Spiritual Power Skills to fight back. The Wind Spirit Family's warriors used wind spiritual power to leap high into the air, attempting to engage the dark birds in aerial combat. They unleashed Wind Soaring Strike, charging toward the birds with sharp wind blades swirling around their bodies. But there were too many dark birds. They nimbly evaded the wind blades while retaliating with black flames and slime. Some unfortunate Wind Spirit Family warriors were struck by the slime, which immediately ate into their bodies, drawing agonized screams. Meanwhile, the Golden Rock Family's warriors formed a solid defensive line on the ground.
