Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

In the wooden box lay a crystal clear blue crystal, emitting a soft light. Chu Mengmeng picked up the crystal curiously, and a strange energy flowed into her body through her fingertips. Suddenly, an old voice appeared in her mind: "Children, I am the guardian of this relic..."

It turns out that the guardian was controlled by an unknown enemy with evil power and could not show up to help. But he was still sleeping, using his last bit of strength to pass on the method of fighting the enemy to Chu Mengmeng in the form of consciousness.

"This crystal contains ancient power that can weaken the enemy's dark power." The guardian's voice became weaker and weaker. "Remember, the spell is..."

Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen held their breath, afraid of missing any word. Finally, the guardian conveyed the spell completely, and the sound disappeared completely.

"Let's go and try it!" Chu Mengmeng held the crystal tightly, a spark of hope burning in her eyes.

At this time, the outside of the secret room was in a mess, and the roar of the black-robed man was deafening. Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er joined forces to fight, but they were still defeated. The situation was very critical.

"Mengmeng, Yichen, are you okay?" Su Mubai shouted anxiously.

"Here we come!" Xiao Yichen pushed open the stone door of the secret room and rushed out with Chu Mengmeng.

"You finally came out!" When Lin Wan'er saw them, she felt like she had seen her savior.

"I will deal with them!" Chu Mengmeng held up the crystal and muttered something. The ancient spell taught by the guardian echoed in everyone's ears like a loud bell.

The crystal emitted a dazzling light, and a powerful energy wave swept across the entire space. The black-robed men clearly felt threatened, and they all stopped their hands, looking at the crystal in Chu Mengmeng's hand with doubt.

"What is this?!"

"Stop her!"

The man in black robe realized that something was wrong and immediately launched an attack, trying to interrupt Chu Mengmeng's spell.

"Protect Mengmeng!" Xiao Yichen, Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er joined forces to block the attack of the man in black robe and buy time for Chu Mengmeng.

Finally, the spell was finished, and the light of the crystal reached its peak, turning into a beam of light that shot up into the sky, covering the entire ruins.

"Ah--" The people in black robes howled in pain. The dark power in them was being rapidly weakened by this divine power.

"Now is the time!" Xiao Yichen seized the opportunity and swung his sword. The sword light was like a rainbow and he was unstoppable. In an instant, he cut down several men in black robes.

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er also took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, and the situation reversed in an instant.

However, just when everyone thought victory was in sight, something strange happened...

 Chapter 72 Dawn of Hope

Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, something strange happened! The originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, and strong winds blew, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the entire ruins shook violently.

"What's going on?!" Lin Wan'er exclaimed.

"Oh no, it's the leader of the unknown enemy!" Chu Mengmeng's face was pale. She felt that a powerful evil force was approaching rapidly.

Just as he finished speaking, a figure wearing a black cloak and with an unclear face fell from the sky. The powerful pressure made everyone's heart sink.

"You ants, how dare you ruin my good deeds!" The black-robed leader's voice sounded like it came from the Nine Nether Hell, filled with anger and murderous intent.

"Who are you? Why are you attacking our city?" Xiao Yichen stepped forward and asked in a deep voice.

"Hmph! You don't deserve to know!" The black-robed leader snorted coldly, and a black sword suddenly appeared in his hand, the sword emitting a heart-pounding cold light.

"Be careful, he's very powerful!" Chu Mengmeng felt the powerful oppressive force emanating from the black-robed leader, and a sense of uneasiness suddenly arose in her heart.

The black-robed leader didn't waste any words and directly swung his sword at everyone. His speed was as fast as lightning, and the sword light was extremely sharp. Chu Mengmeng and others could only barely parry and soon fell behind.

"Mengmeng, use the crystal!" Xiao Yichen shouted anxiously while resisting the attack of the black-robed leader.

Chu Mengmeng reacted immediately after hearing this. She held up the crystal and muttered something. The ancient spell taught by the guardian echoed over the ruins again.

The light of the crystal became brighter and brighter, turning into beams of light that shot towards the black-robed leader. However, the black-robed leader didn't care at all, letting the beams hit his body, and just sneered: "What a trifle!"

The beam of light did not seem to cause any harm to him at all, but instead aroused his ferocity. He roared angrily and swung the sword in his hand more violently. Chu Mengmeng and the others gradually became exhausted and suffered varying degrees of injuries.

At this critical moment, Xiao Yichen suddenly felt a powerful force surging in his body. This force was warm and full of hope, which was completely opposite to the dark power of the black-robed leader.

"This is..." Xiao Yichen's heart moved. Could this be the ancient power that the guardian mentioned? He looked down at Chu Mengmeng, only to see that she was concentrating on activating the crystal. Crystal beads of sweat were sliding down her forehead, and her face was so pale that it was almost transparent.

"Mengmeng, hold on!" A warm feeling surged in Xiao Yichen's heart. He clenched the sword in his hand, and a raging fire burned in his eyes.

He poured all the strength in his body into the sword, and suddenly, the sword burst into a dazzling light, illuminating the entire ruins. Xiao Yichen raised the sword high and slashed at the black-robed leader.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, as if the heaven and earth were shaking. The black-robed leader was caught off guard and was hit by the sword. He let out a scream and his body turned into a black mist and dissipated into the air.

The crisis was resolved, the dark clouds dispersed, and the sun once again shone on the ancient ruins. Chu Mengmeng could no longer hold on, her eyes went dark, and she fainted on the ground.

"Mengmeng!" Xiao Yichen rushed forward, hugged her in his arms, and called her name anxiously.

"I'm fine..." Chu Mengmeng slowly opened her eyes and smiled weakly, "We won..."

"Well, we won..." Xiao Yichen hugged her tightly, his heart filled with joy and fear.

The abnormal energy fluctuations in the ancient ruins also returned to normal with the disappearance of the black-robed leader, and the city once again welcomed peace and tranquility.

However, when everyone was celebrating their victory, no one noticed that in the depths of the ruins, there was a faint black mist quietly floating...

The ancient ruins were bathed in the warm sunshine, as if the thrilling battle just now was just a dream. Chu Mengmeng leaned in Xiao Yichen's arms, feeling the peace and joy of surviving the disaster.

"Yi Chen, let's get married." Chu Mengmeng suddenly raised her head, with a firm and gentle light flashing in her eyes.

Xiao Yichen was slightly startled, then a doting smile appeared on the corner of his lips: "Okay, let's get married."

The love between them, which sprouted from their first encounter as happy enemies, has gone through the baptism of life and death and is now even more indestructible. In the mysterious atmosphere of the ancient ruins, they decided to use a simple and warm ceremony to make a lifelong commitment to each other.

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er volunteered to take on the responsibility of preparing for the wedding. They wove the remaining flowers and vines in the ruins into wreaths and built a simple ceremony platform with ancient stones. The ancient and mysterious ruins were filled with warmth and romance because of this wedding.

Chu Mengmeng was wearing a simple white dress, without any complicated jewelry, only a wreath of fresh flowers adorning her long black hair, looking pure and elegant, like an elf in the forest. Xiao Yichen was wearing a simple white robe, but it could not hide his tall figure and handsome face.

The two held hands and stood in front of the ancient ceremony platform. Witnessed by Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er, they made a vow to stay together forever. The sunlight shone on them through the cracks in the ruins, like a blessing from the gods, illuminating their future path to happiness.

"Mengmeng, let's walk the future together." Xiao Yichen gazed at Chu Mengmeng affectionately, his eyes full of tenderness and determination.

"Okay, let's go together." Chu Mengmeng responded with a bright smile, her eyes and eyebrows filled with happiness.

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er looked at the perfect couple in front of them, their hearts filled with blessings and emotions. They witnessed Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen's journey from their initial encounter to fighting side by side to now staying together for life. This relationship is so precious that it makes them cherish their friendship even more.

However, in the joyful atmosphere, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen both knew that this was only a short-lived calm. Although the black-robed leader had been eliminated, the evil force hidden in the dark still existed and it was unknown when it would come back.

"Mengmeng, although the black-robed leader has been eliminated, we can't take it lightly. I have a feeling that this is just the beginning, and there will be greater challenges waiting for us in the future." Xiao Yichen held Chu Mengmeng's hand tightly, with a hint of solemnity in his tone.

"Yes, I know." Chu Mengmeng nodded, with a firm look in her eyes. "No matter what challenges we face in the future, we will face them together."

They shoulder the mission of protecting the city and their promises to each other. In the future, they will go hand in hand to protect the city and their love.

But where did the disappeared black fog go? When and where will it appear again and create new waves? What challenges will Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen face in the future?
