Heroes of Troubled Times: Chronicles of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms

Ma Zhanshan reacted quickly, and with a wave of his hand, the spear turned into a bolt of lightning and knocked the black blade away.

"You're still the same, just a fool who sees through the red dust. Shadow said indifferently.

Ma Zhanshan's eyes were sharp, and he replied without showing weakness: "I just believe that justice and truth will eventually triumph over darkness." "

Ying Wuxi's complexion changed slightly, he no longer spoke, and his figure quickly dispersed, as if turning into a wisp of black smoke.

"Where is he?" said the medical officer, Bian Yong, probing around vigilantly.

Suddenly, with a sharp sound of breaking through the air, Shadow Without a Trace reappeared, and the black blade in his hand quickly stabbed at the medical officer Bian Yong.

Medic Officer Bian Yong hurriedly dodged, and at the same time swung his medical weapon to block the attack of the black blade.

"You don't want to leave!" Shadow Sneered, sending out dark fires everywhere.

Medical officer Bian Yong and others dodged one after another, trying to find an opportunity to fight back.

"We must work together to deal with him!" Zhang Taiyi shouted, and he condensed more powerful mana and launched a powerful spell attack.

Zhu Wen, Zhu Dali and Luo Feilong also cooperated in the attack, they worked closely together, and the attack was like a tiger roaring.

Seeing this, Shadow Wuxian sneered, and his robe spread, and the power of darkness enveloped him, forming an indestructible shield.

The attacks of their teammates came like a tidal wave, but they seemed to be blocked by invisible barriers, unable to do the slightest damage.

"This shield is incredible!" Zhu Dali exclaimed in surprise.

"We have to find a way to crack it!" Luo Feilong watched Shadow Traceless' movements carefully.

The medical officer Bian Yong pondered, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Perhaps...... We can use the power of justice to break his shield. "

After hearing this, everyone nodded their heads, and they followed the guidance of the medical officer Bian Yong to mobilize their own righteous power.

The light of justice emanated from them, as if constituting an invisible force.

Shadow Wuxian felt the shield begin to tremble, his brow furrowed slightly, and the indifference on his face began to waver slightly.

"Impossible! Justice can defeat any darkness!" Zhang Gu shouted, his whole body exuding a powerful light of justice.

The shield of the Shadow Trail began to crumble, and the aura of darkness was gradually extinguished by the light of justice.

"No...... This can't be!" Shadow Traceless cried out in despair, and the last of his resistance began to grow weaker.

"They...... It is...... The embodiment of justice. Shadow Traceless muttered under his breath, finally defeated in front of the light of justice.

Silence returned to the battlefield, and the remnants of darkness gradually dissipated.

Zhang Gu, Ma Zhanshan and their teammates breathed a sigh of relief, the long battle was over, and Justice won the final victory.

"It's all over. Ma Zhanshan stared into the distance, his face filled with calm.

The celebration banquet was held in the gourd mouth, and Zhang Gu, Ma Zhanshan, medical officer Bian Yong, Taoist priests Zhang Taiyi and Zhu Wen gathered together to celebrate the victory of the battle.

At the banquet, Zhu Wen stood up and announced in a loud voice: "Zhang Gu and Ma Zhanshan, you have shown extraordinary courage and leadership in this battle, and you have won a victory for us, and you have performed very well! Today, I would like to award you the rank of general as a token of commendation. "

Everyone stood up and applauded warmly, congratulating Zhang Gu and Ma Zhanshan.

Zhang Hui noticed Zhang Gu's expression at this time, and there was a trace of uneasiness in her heart. She keenly noticed that Zhang Gu looked a little tired and unnatural.

"Zhang Gu, are you okay?" Zhang Hui walked up to Zhang Gu and asked with concern.

Zhang Gu tried to squeeze out a smile, "It's okay, I'm just a little tired, this battle is really exhausting." "

Zhang Hui didn't fully believe it, she continued to ask: "But your eyes are a little strange, is there something wrong?".

Zhang Gu was silent for a moment, and finally replied frankly: "To tell you the truth, I encountered some doubts and confusion during the battle. "

Zhang Hui was suspicious: "What doubts and confusions? Can you tell me? Maybe I can help you." "

Zhang Gu sighed, he knew that if he didn't say it, this doubt would always haunt his heart. "During the battle, I found the bodies of Shang Tai and Huang Jing...... But there was no trace of the body. "

Zhang Hui was stunned for a moment, she took a deep breath, and said with a serious expression: "This is indeed a question. We saw Shadow fall without a trace, but we didn't find the body, what happened?".

Zhang Gu nodded, "Yes, I realize that there may be a deeper conspiracy in this. "

"What do you think...... Shadow Without a Trace is still alive?" Zhang Hui's voice trembled slightly.

Zhang Gu frowned, "I can't be sure, but it's a possibility." He has shown an extraordinary dark power that I don't think can be ignored. "

Zhang Hui was silent, she thought about this question, and gradually understood the suspense and complexity in it.

"We have to investigate and not leave the future behind. Zhang Hui said firmly, and she walked with Zhang Gu to the others.

"Everyone, I have an important issue to discuss. Zhang Gu solemnly spoke, and everyone immediately calmed down and looked at him.

"During the battle, we found the bodies of Shadow Trace's companions Shang Tai and Huang Jing, but we couldn't find the body of Shadow Trace. There may be some kind of conspiracy in this, and we need to investigate it thoroughly. "

Everyone looked at each other, and Ma Zhanshan frowned. "Do you think Shadow Without a Trace might still be alive?".

Zhang Gu nodded, "Yes, I don't think we can ignore this possibility. He has mastered the power of darkness and is not to be underestimated. "

"It's really worrying. Taoist priest Zhang Taiyi said, "I have witnessed the great power displayed by Ying Wuxian with my own eyes, and if he is still alive, it will definitely be a threat to us." "

The medical officer Bian Yong was silent for a moment, and then said resolutely: "In this case, we must find out the truth and find out the whereabouts of Shadow Without a Trace." "

Zhu Wen pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Yes, this issue does require us to investigate, and we can't let go of any clues. "

Zhang Gu, Ma Zhanshan, medical officer Bian Yong, Taoist priests Zhang Taiyi, Zhu Wen, and Zhang Hui agreed on a plan to launch an investigation. They decide to start with the bodies of Shang Tai and Huang Jing to find clues to uncover the truth.

Medical officer Bian Yong first conducted a detailed examination of the corpse, carefully observed the wounds on the corpse, and used forensic equipment to conduct laboratory analysis.

"These wounds...... Very cunning. Medic Officer Bian Yong frowned, "It looks like he was killed by the forces of darkness." "

Taoist priest Zhang Taiyi's heart moved, and he suddenly thought of a possibility, "Could it be that Shadow Without a Trace is using the power of darkness to devour the corpse to avoid tracking?"

After hearing this, everyone showed a thoughtful look, and this possibility is quite reasonable.

"If that's the case, we have to be careful. Ma Zhanshan said solemnly, "We must always be vigilant and not let him take advantage of it." "

Zhang Taiyi nodded, "That's right, we can't let him escape, otherwise there will be endless troubles." "

Everyone agreed, and they decided to step up security measures to be on the lookout for an untraceable attack.
