Chapter 11: The Storm Approaches

        With the passing of time, the village's defensive measures gradually improved, and the cultivation of Li Yunfan and Lin Feng was also constantly rising. However, the unease in their hearts grew stronger and stronger. They knew that their enemies' true actions were about to begin.

    One morning, the tranquility of the village was shattered by an urgent alarm. A group of black-clad men suddenly appeared around the village, their number far exceeding that of previous scouts, indicating they were well-prepared.

    "Be careful, the enemy is here!" Li Yunfan shouted, his voice laced with tension.

    The villagers quickly moved into action. Following previous arrangements, they took their respective positions, preparing to welcome the enemy's attack.

    The black-clad men did not immediately launch an attack. Instead, they set up layer upon layer of law arrays around the village, encircling the entire settlement.

    "They want to trap us!" Lin Feng immediately realized the enemy's intention.

    "We cannot simply wait for death, we must find a way to break their encirclement." Li Yunfan tightly gripped his sword, his eyes flashing with resolute light.

    Lin Feng nodded, and he and Li Yunfan discussed a plan. They decided that they would lead a part of the villagers to break through the encirclement, while the rest of the villagers would defend within the village.

    They chose a direction with relatively weak defenses and began preparing to break through. Li Yunfan activated the "Star Decree," infusing the sword with the power of the stars, causing it to emit a dazzling light.

    Lin Feng also pulled out his sword, his swordplay was extraordinary, and every strike contained powerful force.

    "Follow us, and charge out together!" Li Yunfan shouted loudly.

    Leading the villagers towards the enemy's encirclement, they faced immediate attack from the black-clad men. Various spells and weapons were launched towards them, but they were all intercepted by Li Yunfan and Lin Feng.

    Li Yunfan swung his sword, each strike imbued with the power of the stars, neutralizing the enemy's attacks one by one. Lin Feng's swordplay was even more ferocious, his sword glinted like lightning, toppling enemies left and right.

    Under their leadership and protection, the villagers successfully broke through the enemy's encirclement. However, they did not stop there; instead, they continued to retreat towards the rear of the village to avoid being pursued by the enemy.

    The black-clad men saw this and immediately launched a more fierce attack, trying to stop their retreat. However, Li Yunfan and Lin Feng's swordplay was too strong for them to stop.

    At that moment, a powerful presence suddenly appeared above the battlefield. An old man in black robes descended slowly onto the battlefield, his eyes cold and his aura emanating a formidable pressure.

    "You two young brats dare to defy the will of my Black Wind Sect. You're asking for death!" The old man in black robes' voice echoed across the battlefield like thunder.

    Li Yunfan and Lin Feng were startled in their hearts, knowing that the Black Cloaked elder's strength far surpassed theirs. They must be careful in their response.

    "Everyone retreat quickly, let us handle it!" Lin Feng shouted loudly.

    The villagers immediately followed his instructions and retreated quickly. Li Yunfan and Lin Feng stood their ground, preparing to face the attack from the Black Cloaked elder.

    "You two young upstarts dared to injure my Black Wind Sect disciples? Today, I will thoroughly teach you a lesson!" The Black Cloaked elder harrumphed, his hands began to rapidly form hand seals, and a powerful energy surge emanated from his body. Li Yunfan and Lin Feng immediately mobilized the spiritual energy within them, preparing for the impending attack. A more intense battle was about to unfold...
