Chapter 199: Fighting Alone Against a Group of Heroes, Dangers Abound
The wind howled, the waves surged. Standing in the center of the storm, Ren Xiaoyao felt the pressure multiply. After being knocked back, the Taoist Master Kong Ling, enraged, ignored his injuries, and swung his whisk. Golden light transformed into sharp swords, bearing down on Ren Xiaoyao. Wind Walker, like a ghost, darted around the edges of the battlefield, searching for the perfect moment to strike.
The Purple Flame Witch laughed sweetly, her long whip swirling like a fiery dragon, forcing Xia Lin into a corner. Her eyes gleamed with greed as she chuckled, "Little sister, just hand over the artifact obediently, or you'll be spared the pain."
The Sirens King was overjoyed to see everyone besieging Ren Xiaoyao. He was about to summon the sirens to help, but suddenly discovered that the surrounding sea water seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier. No matter how he summoned, he could not convey any orders.
"What's going on?" The Siren King was shocked and angry, and then he realized that he seemed to have fallen into an elaborate trap.
"Your helpers can't come." Ren Xiaoyao sneered while resisting the attacks of Taoist Kong Ling, "Today is the day you die!"
The broken sword in his hand burst out with dazzling golden light, and the sword energy spread out, shattering the attacking golden swords one by one. However, facing the siege of many masters, he was still in danger.
Despite its massive size, the volcanic beast was incredibly agile. Every swing of its massive fist stirred up a gust of wind, forcing back surrounding enemies. However, it was still only a ferocious beast with limited intelligence, and under the siege of numerous experts, it gradually lost the upper hand.
"Roar!--"
The volcanic beast roared in pain, leaving several wounds on its body so deep that the bones could be seen.
"You beast, how dare you act so violently!" Taoist Master Kong Ling seized the opportunity and stabbed the volcanic beast in the vitals with a golden blade.
In the critical moment, Ren Xiaoyao stepped forward and blocked the fatal blow with his broken sword. However, he was knocked back several steps, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin shouted anxiously when she saw this.
"I'm fine!" Ren Xiaoyao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes flashing with determination, "Today, even if I have to use all my strength, I will keep you scum here!"
He took a deep breath, and the Qi in his body circulated frantically. A powerful aura burst out from him, shocking everyone around him...
Seeing this, the Purple Flame Witch's beautiful eyes flashed with surprise, and she murmured softly, "This kid actually has hidden strength..."
Before she finished speaking, she shook the whip in her hand, and a wall of fire rose out of thin air, trapping Xia Lin inside...
Blazing flames shot up into the sky, trapping Charlene like a giant firebird. The heat surged, scorching the very air and distorting it. Charlene waved her staff, and aquamarine light formed a thin barrier around her, shielding her from the flames.
"Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin shouted anxiously. Although she was temporarily safe, she was unable to break through the sea of fire to help Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao was terribly anxious, yet he was unable to split his attention. Taoist Master Kong Ling and Wind Walker, one in front and one behind, unleashed ruthless blows, trapping him tightly. Taoist Master Kong Ling's whisk transformed into thousands of golden threads, each swing carrying a sharp sword energy, striking directly at Ren Xiaoyao's vital points. Wind Walker, like a venomous snake, moved erratically, waiting for an opportunity to strike, his sharp dagger constantly appearing at unexpected angles, making it impossible to defend against him.
"boom!"
Ren Xiaoyao parried the attack from the Taoist Master Kong Ling with a sword, but Feng Xingzhe seized the opportunity and slashed his arm with his dagger, leaving a bloody mark. He groaned, suppressing the pain and quickly retreating, putting distance between them.
"This kid is a bit weird, let's end this quickly!" Taoist Master Kong Ling had a gloomy face, and was obviously impatient with the long-lasting attack.
"Why are you in such a hurry? This kid has a lot of secrets. It will be more fun if we play slowly." The voice of the Purple Flame Witch came from the sea of fire with a hint of teasing.
While fending off the two's attacks, Ren Xiaoyao carefully observed the surrounding situation. He noticed that while these plunderers shared a common goal, there seemed to be some conflict between them. Taoist Master Kong Ling and Wind Walker disliked each other, while the Purple Flame Witch treated them both with a playful attitude, seemingly in no rush to obtain the artifact.
A bold idea emerged in Ren Xiaoyao's mind. He deliberately exposed a flaw, his body unstable, as if he was about to fall.
"Opportunity!" Seeing this, Feng Xingzhe's eyes flashed with joy, and he rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao.
Taoist Priest Kong Ling snorted coldly: "Fool, you've been fooled!"
However, his warning was too late. Wind Walker had already rushed in front of Ren Xiaoyao, the dagger in his hand went straight to his heart...
"Stop!" Taoist Kong Ling shouted, but Ren Xiaoyao's mouth curled up into a cold smile, and his eyes flashed...
Just as Feng Xingzhe's dagger was about to pierce Ren Xiaoyao's heart, Ren Xiaoyao's body moved strangely to the side. Feng Xingzhe felt a flash before his eyes, and the dagger missed. Before he could react, Ren Xiaoyao backhanded and hit him in the chest, knocking him back.
"How dare you play tricks on me!" Feng Xingzhe was shocked and angry. He struggled to get up from the ground and stared at Ren Xiaoyao fiercely.
"Same here." Ren Xiaoyao sneered, his eyes sweeping over Feng Xing and Taoist Kong Ling. "Aren't you the same? You all want to reap the benefits while others are still playing."
Taoist Master Kong Ling's face turned pale. He hadn't expected Ren Xiaoyao to dare to use their conflict to fight back. He snorted coldly, waved his whisk, and several sharp sword energies rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao didn't dare to be careless and quickly swung his sword to block. However, he was outnumbered, and his physical strength was greatly depleted, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"What are you guys still standing there for? Come on, get on with it!" The voice of the Purple Flame Witch came from the sea of fire, with a hint of impatience.
Taoist Priest Kong Ling and Wind Walker exchanged a glance, a flicker of fear in their eyes. Although they wanted to obtain the artifact, they also didn't want to be used as pawns by the Purple Flame Witch.
"What? My words don't work anymore?" The Purple Flame Witch's voice turned cold, and the temperature around her suddenly dropped. Even the blazing flames seemed to be frozen.
Taoist Master Kong Ling and Feng Xingzhe were startled, knowing that the Purple Flame Witch was really angry. They did not dare to hesitate any longer and joined forces to attack Ren Xiaoyao.
Ren Xiaoyao was immediately plunged into a bitter struggle, clumsy and vulnerable, his body constantly racked with wounds. He knew he would surely perish if he continued this way. He dodged attacks while anxiously pondering a strategy. Suddenly, he felt the ground beneath his feet tremble slightly, as if something was about to break free. Simultaneously, he sensed the artifact in his arms begin to heat slightly, as if echoing the vibrations.
"This vibration..." Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved, and he suddenly looked up towards the direction of the crater. There, an even more powerful force was awakening...
