Chapter 198: The Artifact is Amazing, Heroes Compete for It

A scorching breath hit him. Ren Xiaoyao looked around cautiously. The once empty cave had been enveloped by a powerful aura. The appearance of the artifact had indeed alarmed all parties!

"Come out, why hide!" Ren Xiaoyao said loudly, his voice echoing in the empty cave.

As soon as the words fell, a dark shadow flashed like a ghost and rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao as fast as lightning. Ren Xiaoyao had been prepared for this and retreated quickly. At the same time, he swung the long sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy broke through the air and rushed towards the dark shadow.

"Qiang!"

A crisp sound of metal collision was heard, and the black shadow was forced back by the sword energy and revealed its true form.

"Wind Walker!" Ren Xiaoyao's pupils shrank as he recognized the identity of the person.

Wind Walker, renowned for his speed and elusive presence, was a feared assassin. Dressed in black, he was thin and wore a silver mask, revealing only a pair of sharp eyes that flashed with a cold light.

"Hand over the artifact and I can give you a quick death." Wind Walker's voice was hoarse and without a trace of emotion.

"The divine artifact belongs to those with virtue. If you want it, come and get it with your ability!" Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly. He knew that the battle today was inevitable.

Feng Xingzhe stopped talking nonsense and disappeared from the spot in a flash. Ren Xiaoyao's heart trembled. He knew that the most terrifying thing about Feng Xingzhe was not his speed, but his elusive attack method, which made it difficult to defend against him.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin's voice came from behind, reminding Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't dare to be careless, and was concentrating on sensing the movements around him. Suddenly, he felt a strong wind coming from behind him, and without thinking, his body instinctively rolled to the side.

"laugh!"

A flash of cold light passed by his ear, leaving a shallow streak of blood on his cheek. Ren Xiaoyao felt a wave of fear in his heart. If he had been even half an instant slower, he would have been pierced through the head by this cold light.

"So fast!" Ren Xiaoyao was secretly shocked. Wind Walker's speed was even faster than he had imagined.

Without waiting for Ren Xiaoyao to stand firm, Feng Xingzhe launched another attack. Like a ghost, he kept flashing and attacking around Ren Xiaoyao. Each attack was precise and ruthless, and every move was deadly.

Ren Xiaoyao was exhausted from dealing with the situation, and gradually more wounds appeared on his body, with blood staining his clothes red.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin shouted anxiously, wanting to go forward to help, but was forced back by Feng Xingzhe's attack.

"Don't come over!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted. He knew that with Xia Lin's strength, she could not intervene in this battle at all, and would instead become a burden to him.

At this moment, a powerful pressure came from the cave entrance, and an old voice slowly rang out, "Amitabha, such a treasure, how can you fight for it here!"

Ren Xiaoyao's heart sank, knowing someone else was coming. He looked up and saw an old man in Taoist robes, holding a whisk, slowly approaching...

Taoist Master Kong Ling, dressed in a green robe and holding a whisk, walked slowly into the cave with an air of immortality. His eyes swept across the battle scene, finally landing on the broken sword in Ren Xiaoyao's hand, a trace of greed flashing in his eyes.

"Amitabha, the donor has committed too many sins of killing. Please let me keep this divine weapon." Taoist Master Kong Ling chanted the Buddha's name, but there was no trace of compassion on his face. Instead, there was a chilling coldness in his eyes.

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his whisk, and golden talismans flew out from his sleeves, like locusts in the sky, shooting towards Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin exclaimed, and the long whip in her hand danced like a snake, forming an impenetrable defense net, blocking all the talismans shot at her.

However, Taoist Master Kong Ling's attack was too fierce. Although Xia Lin tried her best to resist, she was still somewhat powerless. Her face became increasingly pale, and beads of sweat oozed from her forehead.

Elsewhere, Ren Xiaoyao was locked in a fierce battle with Wind Walker. Wind Walker's speed was astonishing, and each of his attacks was as cunning and ruthless as a venomous snake's tongue, making it impossible to defend against him.

Ren Xiaoyao, relying on his exquisite swordsmanship and agile body movements, managed to fight Feng Xingzhe to a draw. However, the joining of Taoist Master Kong Ling completely upset the balance.

Facing the joint attack of Taoist Master Kong Ling and Feng Xingzhe, Ren Xiaoyao gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Hahaha, Ren Xiaoyao, today is the day you die!" Feng Xingzhe laughed wildly, and his figure was like a ghost. He circled behind Ren Xiaoyao, and the dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, stabbing straight into Ren Xiaoyao's back.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin exclaimed when she saw this and wanted to go forward to rescue him, but was forced back by the talisman of Taoist Kong Ling.

At this critical moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the cave: "Roar——"

Immediately afterwards, a huge black shadow rushed out from the depths of the cave, bringing with it a bloody storm, and headed straight for Taoist Master Kong Ling.

"The King of Sea Monsters!" Taoist Master Kong Ling's face changed. He quickly took back the talisman that was attacking Xia Lin and turned around to deal with the attack of the King of Sea Monsters.

The King of the Sea Monsters was huge in size and extremely powerful. When he slapped down with his claws, it was like a mountain falling down on one's head, forcing Taoist Master Kong Ling to retreat again and again.

However, before the Siren King could launch any further attacks, a fiery red figure swooped in from the cave entrance, blocking his path.

"Brother Hai, your old lover is here, why don't you go and reminisce about the past?" A charming voice sounded, with a hint of teasing and sarcasm. It was the Purple Flame Witch.

When the Siren King saw the Purple Flame Witch, he was immediately furious. He roared and started fighting with her.

For a moment, inside the cave, the sounds of shouting, weapons clashing, and spiritual energy surging intertwined into a chaotic battlefield.

Ren Xiaoyao was forced into a dangerous situation by Feng Xingzhe, and he suffered new injuries. At this moment, Feng Xingzhe's eyes flashed with coldness, and he shouted in a low voice: "It's over, Ren Xiaoyao!"

……

Before Feng Xingzhe finished his words, his figure vanished into a shadow, and the dagger in his hand, like a venomous snake, pierced Ren Xiaoyao's heart. Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath and swung his sword to block, but he was a step too slow. The dagger pierced his body's protective Qi, leaving a deep bloody mark on his chest.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin's eyes were bloodshot and she rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao desperately, but was blocked by Taoist Master Kong Ling.

"Little girl, your opponent is me." Taoist Kong Ling smiled sinisterly, and waved the whisk in his hand. A golden light flashed and went straight to Xia Lin's face.

Xia Lin was unable to dodge and was struck on the shoulder by the golden light. She groaned and took several steps back. She clutched her injured shoulder and glared at Taoist Master Kong Ling, her beautiful eyes burning with rage.

"Despicable villain!" Charlene said gritting her teeth.

"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit. How can there be any despicable talk?" Taoist Master Kong Ling sneered and waved his whisk again, attacking Xia Lin.

Elsewhere, Ren Xiaoyao was struck in the vitals by Wind Walker, his vision blackening and nearly losing consciousness. He stumbled back, falling to one knee, blood gushing from his chest, staining his shirt red.

"Brother Xiaoyao, how are you?" Xia Lin was anxious but unable to escape.

Wind Walker slowly walked towards Ren Xiaoyao, a bloodthirsty glint in his eyes. "Ren Xiaoyao, it's over." He raised his dagger, ready to deal the final blow to Ren Xiaoyao.

At this critical moment, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with brilliance. The broken sword in his hand rang out with a crisp sound, and a powerful force gushed out from his body, shocking everyone around him.

"Ah!" Ren Xiaoyao roared to the sky, his voice filled with pain and anger. The broken sword in his hand burst into a dazzling light, enveloping him completely.

Wind Walker was startled by this sudden change and subconsciously took a few steps back.

The light faded, and Ren Xiaoyao reappeared before everyone's eyes. He now exuded a fierce aura, like a sword unsheathed, its edge exposed.

"What kind of move is this?" Feng Xingzhe was shocked and felt a little uneasy.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't answer. He slowly stood up, staring at Feng Xingzhe with cold eyes, and said word by word: "Today, you must die!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flashed and turned into a flash of lightning, appearing in front of Wind Walker in an instant. The broken sword in his hand, with the power to destroy the world, chopped towards Wind Walker's head.

Wind Walker was horrified and quickly raised his dagger to block.

“clang!”

There was a loud bang and sparks flew everywhere.

Wind Walker only felt an overwhelming force coming at him, the dagger in his hand broke instantly, and he was blown away, falling heavily to the ground, spitting blood.

Ren Xiaoyao succeeded in his attack, but did not pursue the victory. Instead, he stood where he was, looking at Feng Xingzhe coldly with murderous intent in his eyes.

However, the other robbers had no intention of giving up. They readjusted their formation and prepared to attack again, which put Ren Xiaoyao in a huge crisis and also laid the groundwork for the next battle.

"Hmph, you're overestimating yourself!" The Siren King's massive figure approached, a murderous gleam in his eyes. "You think you can monopolize the artifact?" As soon as the Siren King finished speaking, his massive tentacles swept towards Ren Xiaoyao like a hurricane, bringing with them a fishy sea breeze and a chilling whistling sound. At the same time, Taoist Master Kong Ling also recovered his composure. He flicked his whisk, and several golden rays shot towards the trapped Xia Lin again. Each move was ruthless, clearly with murderous intent.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin shouted anxiously, but was unable to break free from the entanglement of Taoist Master Kong Ling.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed, and instead of retreating, he advanced. The broken sword in his hand shone even brighter, and like a flash of silver lightning, he charged towards the tentacles of the Siren King. "Dang!" With a loud bang, the tentacles were forcibly split apart, and dark green blood gushed out, emitting a sickening odor.

"Roar!--" The Siren King felt pain and roared angrily. More tentacles emerged from the sea and attacked Ren Xiaoyao in an overwhelming manner.

"Your opponent is me!" A charming voice was heard, and the Purple Flame Witch stood in front of the Siren King with an enchanting figure. The long whip burning with blazing flames in her hand danced like a spirit snake, repelling the tentacles that attacked Ren Xiaoyao one by one.

"Purple Flame Witch, you want to intervene too?" the Siren King roared.

"Who wouldn't want to have a piece of this divine weapon?" The Purple Flame Witch smiled softly with her hands covering her mouth, her eyes as charming as silk, but she couldn't hide the greed and cruelty in them.

"Then it all depends on your ability!" Taoist Master Kong Ling snorted coldly, waved his whisk, and a golden light flew straight towards Ren Xiaoyao's face. He took the opportunity to go around behind Xia Lin, ready to launch a fatal blow.

Attacked from both sides, Ren Xiaoyao was in dire straits. He took a deep breath, channeling his inner Qi to its full potential. He swung his broken sword into an impenetrable net, blocking the golden light and tentacles. However, he knew that if this continued, he and Xia Lin would sooner or later be depleted of their Qi and become lambs to be slaughtered.

At that moment, the previously silent volcanic beast suddenly moved. With heavy strides, it slammed into the Taoist Master Kong Ling, its immense force shaking the ground. The Taoist Master Kong Ling was caught off guard and was sent flying, spurting blood from his mouth.

"Looking for death!" The sudden attack of the volcanic monster angered everyone present.

The snatchers rushed forward, launching all kinds of attacks at Ren Xiaoyao and his companions. Ren Xiaoyao felt the pressure doubled...
