Just as Lingyun was observing the Headless Horseman's movements through the water film, a grey light silently rose from the surface. Lingyun's face suddenly froze, the shape of the light was exactly the same as the red eye on the crescent moon blade.

He opened his eyes in shock, and in the blink of an eye, Ling Yun's consciousness sank into the abyss.

"Ling Yun!?" Seeing the scene on the water, Fan Mu shouted. In the distance, he saw a green fog engulfing Lingyun, but he did not know Lingyun was trapped in the blood eye's curse.

Fan Mu waited anxiously, hoping for Lingyun's response, but things were always progressing in a direction he did not want. Lingyun seemed to have lost his message after entering the fog, and Fan Mu's hands were trembling.

The man had tears in his eyes, was he really going to be separated like this? He was already sprinting towards the domain where the demon was with bloodshot eyes and a trace of an unusual aura swept across his brows. It was filled with grief, indignation, and excitement, but it became even colder and more bone-chilling. The two elements once again passed through his mind and spontaneously surged out, but the side that was activated this time was still the dark side.

"This is …" Fan Mu couldn't help but ask himself. Looking at the fluctuating black ball in his hand, Fan Mu felt completely at ease.

This was probably the first time that Fan Mu had used the power of darkness in a conscious state. Not to mention how hard it was to understand this process, more importantly, Fan Mu did not even know how to use this new ability, he considered himself as having read countless books, but these two elemental energies were not like wood elemental energy. Ordinary elemental energy, their basic techniques were detailed in the books, and in the books he had read, these two elemental energies were not recorded at all.

The current him, even if he was proficient in the power of darkness, what's the use of that? To make an inappropriate comparison, it's like when you're holding the spear, you won't mess with it for even a second, and this is no different from having a tool that you can't use without a weapon. Sometimes, it makes him seem tired, but if he meets an expert and takes the attention of the spear, then he will have to fight with his life, and there will be no tears.

Back to the main topic, Fan Mu was happy to accept this sudden change. Although he could not use it directly, he could feel the miraculous effects of the dark energy, as if dark black elemental energy liked it and would easily get closer to other types of elemental energy, and there were no differences in the two types of elemental energy repelling each other. Because of this, Fan Mu allowed the dark energy to attach itself to his wood elemental energy.

His speed immediately increased, and he rushed towards the Headless Horseman at a speed even faster than Lingyun. However, he did not forget one thing, since the Flame Light Armor was broken, if he did not act quickly, then he would be killed, but this also gave him a chance to think of an opportunity. What kind of effect would the Dark Wood Power have if he turned it into armor, and as he muttered, he decided to take action.

Fan Mu's hands moved quickly, and the dark wood elemental energy condensed on his body. In less than three seconds, it formed a dark green armor on the surface of his body, and with a few steps he forced his way through the eerie mist.

"Lingyun, just you wait, I'm coming to save you," Fan Mu shouted hysterically. For a long time, Lingyun didn't react, but the Headless Horseman appeared again in another corner.

The closer he got to the center area, the more intense the skeleton soldiers' attacks became. It was obvious that Fan Mu could not handle them well, and almost got hit by the bone blade a few times, but luckily it was all thrilling and not dangerous, and just as he was patting his chest to celebrate the fact that he was not hit, an ancient sword quietly approached Fan Mu's head, and he felt an extremely cold chill. In that instant, Fan Mu's heart froze, but in the next instant, the bone sword that should have pierced through his skull melted into nothingness after coming in contact with the armor of the dark energy.

After a few tries, Fan Mu found out that his Dark Armor had the same effect. After being hit by the bone sword and bone needles, his lifeless body became even brighter.

Along the way, with the protection of the power of darkness, the skeleton soldiers' attacks were completely useless. Ignoring the layers of bone swords, Fan Mu finally arrived at the edge of the fog.

As Fan Mu expected, Lingyun was lying unconscious in the pool of green smoke. He gently lifted up Lingyun, and there was a large mark on his right wrist that looked exactly like Susu's.

Fan Mu had always felt that he had seen this familiar pattern before. It was only after he had smacked his head that he remembered that this curse mark had appeared on the Flaming Ant in the Clouds Mountain.

The more he thought about it, the weirder it felt. When mentioning the wooden crucifix, he had no choice but to speak coldly. From his words, he was able to determine that the Flame Ants were clearly there to guide him to the Cyanwood Palace. That being said, the purpose of that coldness was obviously to help him awaken. Although his methods were a bit brutal and the process was a bit complicated, he could be certain that he did not have any ill intentions. Moreover, after this encounter (not including the one time where he met with Dan because he had lost his mind), they would each go their own ways.

How could this be possible? Could it be that Leng Ning was so bored that not only did he chase them from so far away, he even pretended to be mysterious and turn into a headless devil to scare them?

Fan Mu was quite calm. Ever since he knew that the power of darkness could make the bone sword useless, he chose to ignore it. He originally wanted to carry Lingyun out of the fog, but the scene in front of him shocked him speechless. Right, just like what Lingyun saw before, a grey light quietly rose up from the water, turning into a blood-red eye.

"This, exactly …" Fan Mu's face was filled with incredulity. Before he could say anything, the blood-red eyes opened and closed, sending his spirit into another world without a sound or trace …

The wind whistled, and the Headless Horseman raised its crescent blade, ready to bite the souls of the two, making them lose their consciousness forever, just like the group of skeletons, becoming his apostles.

Strangely, a bolt of lightning pierced through the sky, interrupting the Headless Horseman's plan.
