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

Chapter 148 Finding Weaknesses

The roar was like rolling thunder, coming from afar and constantly shaking people's eardrums.

The sudden roar made everyone present tense, and an ominous premonition welled up in their hearts.

Immediately afterward, before anyone could react, the temple was plunged into complete darkness.

In this thick, ink-like darkness, a ghostly, pitch-black shadow approached with lightning speed.

It is so fast that people don't have time to react at all.

In an instant, the surroundings plunged into an endless abyss of darkness, as if the entire world had been swallowed up by an incomparably powerful force.

Just then, Wen Xingyu, who was caught off guard, suddenly felt as if her ankle was being tightly gripped by a cold and huge invisible hand, which was pulling her downwards forcefully.

It felt like a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on her feet, making it impossible for her to move an inch.

Wen Xingyu was immediately terrified and let out a scream of extreme fear.

"Ah! What is that? Help!"

The scream ripped through the deathly silence of the night sky, echoing for a long time in the darkness, sounding terrifying and chilling.

The senior standing to the side reacted with lightning speed. In a flash, he swung his long sword, sending a sharp sword aura straight at the mysterious object that was grabbing Wen Xingyu's foot.

With a muffled thud, the force was instantly repelled.

"Little girl, are you alright?" the senior asked with concern.

Wen Xingyu shook her head, still shaken, to indicate that she was alright.

However, her heart was still pounding, as if it were about to jump out of her throat.

The sudden fright she just experienced still left her feeling shaken.

Meanwhile, their other companions were also attacked.

These attacks come without warning, making them impossible to defend against.

The enemy was lurking in the shadows, and our side was at a clear disadvantage. Capturing this incredibly cunning fellow was harder than climbing to heaven.

Huan Yuechu, who had been trying her best to suppress her temper, could no longer tolerate this passive and defensive situation.

She closed her eyes tightly, gathering all her spiritual energy into them. Suddenly, a glint of light flashed from her eyes.

With her keen insight and extraordinary perception, Huan Yuechu instantly discerned the mastermind behind this series of bizarre events.

"It seems that all the evil energy here originates from this evil god statue. To completely eliminate the hidden dangers here, we must find a way to destroy it!" Huan Yuechu said decisively.

Upon hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

Everyone knew that only by destroying this idol that exuded an evil aura could they truly escape their current predicament.

Without hesitation, they immediately set to work, approaching the awe-inspiring statue step by step...

However, just as they approached the statue to launch an attack, the statue suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful counterattack.

This force surged forth like a tidal wave, instantly forcing the four of them back several steps.

After regaining her balance, Huan Yuechu spoke with a firm gaze.

“This idol is too powerful. Let’s split up and find its weaknesses, then attack it together.” Everyone nodded.

Xu Yan went around to the back of the statue and found a place that was faintly flashing red light, which seemed to be the key.

Mu Yang found a loose stone to the left of the statue, where the evil energy fluctuations were relatively weak.

Huan Yuechu and Su Yin, on the right, noticed a tiny crack.

The four reunited and exchanged their findings.

Su Yin played her flute, and the flute music transformed into a shield that enveloped everyone, temporarily resisting the evil power emanating from the statue.

Huan Yuechu moved like lightning, rushing towards the mysterious red light source behind her without hesitation.

At the same time, Mu Yang was not to be outdone. With a slight flick of his wrist, several beams of cold light shot out from his sleeve.

These specially designed hidden weapons streaked across the sky like meteors, striking the rocks in front of them with pinpoint accuracy and producing a crisp impact sound.

On the other side, Xu Yan held a long sword, her movements as light and graceful as a swallow.

He brandished his sword, and in the blink of an eye, a set of exquisite sword moves was executed, thrusting straight at the hideous crack.

In that instant, the three attacks arrived at their targets almost simultaneously.

In an instant, a loud bang was heard, and the entire statue began to shake violently.

The faint red light now became exceptionally dazzling, like a raging fire, exuding evil energy and shining brightly.

As the statue shook violently, the surrounding air seemed to be stirred into chaos.

However, despite such a fierce attack, the statue did not collapse.

Instead, it suddenly opened its mouth wide and spewed out a plume of black smoke, which quickly spread and enveloped everyone.

Thick smoke billowed in like a rolling black cloud, filled with a nauseating, pungent odor.

The smell seemed to penetrate the nasal cavity and reach deep into the brain, making people dizzy and almost faint.

Huan Yuechu was startled and sensed something was wrong. She quickly circulated her internal energy to resist the invasion of the poisonous gas.

Her face was solemn, veins bulged on her forehead, and a faint blue light emanated from her body as she struggled against the poisonous gas.

At the same time, Su Yin's face turned deathly pale.

Knowing the situation was critical, he played his flute more and more urgently.

The melodious flute music echoed in the air, transforming into invisible sound waves that worked hard to reinforce the shield protecting everyone.

However, despite Su Yin's best efforts, the shield seemed to begin to crumble as time went on.

Just when everyone was having difficulty breathing and was almost unable to hold on, Wen Xingyu had a flash of inspiration and suddenly remembered that she was carrying a precious purification bead.

She dared not delay for a moment, hurriedly pulled the bead from her bosom, and threw it into the air with all her might.

In an instant, the purification bead emitted a soft and bright white light, like a bright moon hanging in the sky.

Wherever the light reached, the black smoke retreated as if it had encountered its nemesis, gradually dissipating.

As the smoke gradually dissipated, the four rallied their spirits and launched another fierce attack.

Huan Yuechu took a deep breath, quickly formed hand seals, and chanted incantations.

Immediately afterwards, a dazzling golden light talisman flew out from his palm and rushed straight towards the statue like lightning.

On the other side, Mu Yang and Xu Yan were also in perfect sync, with a tacit understanding between them.

One of them nimbly leaped to the left, while the other flashed to the right like a gust of wind, and at the same time launched a fierce attack on the statue.
