Chapter 70 "Illusionary World: Lin Xiao's Life and Death Decision - Peak Showdown"
The sun was like a dazzling golden waterfall, pouring down on the vast land of the Fantasy World Continent. Lin Xiao stood alone on the top of a towering and extremely steep mountain. The wind was howling like a ferocious beast, tearing her clothes and hair wantonly. Her originally clear and bright eyes were now filled with entanglement and confusion, looking at the rolling mountains in the distance that were like a winding dragon, and the deep valleys between the mountains filled with mysterious mist.
"Where should I go? This step may lead to a bottomless abyss, or it may lead to a smooth road to light." Lin Xiao bit her lower lip tightly, almost biting it to bleed, and her voice was trembling and desperate. She clenched her hands into fists, and her knuckles turned pale due to the force.
At this moment, Mo Yu came running over anxiously. His forehead was covered with beads of sweat that kept rolling down his cheeks, and his breathing was so rapid that it seemed like he was pulling a bellows.
"Xiao'er, you must not be impulsive about this matter! This is not a joke!" Mo Yu grabbed Lin Xiao's arm tightly, his eyes full of anxiety and worry, as if Lin Xiao was the most precious baby in his world and he was afraid that she would be hurt in the slightest.
Lin Xiao turned his head and stared straight at Mo Yu, his eyes revealing an unprecedented determination.
"Mo Yu, I know this is very dangerous, but this is our only way out. If we don't give it a try, we will be trapped in this predicament for the rest of our lives, with no way out!" Lin Xiao's voice rose several decibels, with unquestionable determination.
Mo Yu's face turned pale in an instant. He widened his eyes and looked at Lin Xiao in disbelief.
"But Xiao'er, have you ever thought about this? If we fail, we will lose everything, even our lives!" Mo Yu's voice became hoarse with excitement, and his hands waved helplessly in the air.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath, raised his head, looked at the birds soaring in the sky, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a stubborn smile.
"If you don't try, how can you know the result? I don't want to live a mediocre life like this, I want to fight for my own destiny!"
At this moment, a strange and low cry suddenly came from the sky, as if an ancient mythical beast was roaring. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked up at the same time, and saw a mysterious light flickering in the thick clouds. The light was sometimes strong and sometimes weak, as if conveying some mysterious message to them.
"What is this? Is it a revelation from God?" Mo Yu opened his mouth in surprise and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
A hint of surprise flashed across Lin Xiao's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by solemnity.
"Perhaps, this is the guidance of fate, but whether it is a blessing or a curse is still unknown."
However, before they could figure out the meaning of the light, a group of dark shadows flew out of the valley like ghosts and approached them rapidly. The speed of the dark shadows was as fast as lightning across the night sky, and they were in front of them in an instant.
"Oh no, it's the enemy!" Mo Yu shouted loudly, quickly drew the sword at his waist, protected Lin Xiao behind him, his eyes full of vigilance and determination.
Lin Xiao's face instantly became solemn. She pulled out a sharp dagger from her waist, held it tightly in her hand, her eyes full of desire to fight.
"Come on, let's fight to the death today!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice full of fearlessness and courage.
The shadows were getting closer and closer, and finally revealed their hideous faces. They turned out to be a group of mysterious warriors wearing black armor and hideous masks, exuding a creepy aura.
"Lin Xiao, today is the day you die!" The leading warrior shouted loudly, and his voice echoed in the valley like thunder.
Lin Xiao sneered, his eyes full of disdain.
"It's still unclear who will win! Come on if you have the guts!"
The two sides immediately fell into a fierce battle, with swords flashing and swords shadows interlaced, and the shouts of killing were deafening. Lin Xiao's figure was as agile as a ghost, moving freely between the enemies, and every swing of the dagger in his hand brought a sharp sound of wind, as if to cut the air apart.
"Watch me, the invincible whirlwind!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, and the dagger in his hand danced with a brilliant light and shadow, instantly forcing back several enemies.
Mo Yu was not to be outdone. He swung the sword in his hand vigorously, and each move contained great power, which neutralized the enemy's attacks one by one.
"Take my sword, it's as powerful as thunder!" Mo Yu roared, with dazzling light flashing on the sword, and instantly knocking an enemy away.
Just when the battle was at a stalemate, Lin Xiao suddenly discovered a flaw in the enemy.
"Mo Yu, follow me!" Lin Xiao shouted, and with a flash, he rushed towards the flaw.
Mo Yu understood and followed closely. However, when they were about to break through the enemy's defense line, an unexpected situation occurred. A powerful force suddenly surged out of the seemingly weak flaw, and bounced them back fiercely.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu fell heavily to the ground, spurting blood from their mouths.
"This...how is this possible?" Lin Xiao widened his eyes, unable to believe what he saw.
Mo Yu struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a hint of despair appeared in his eyes.
"Xiao'er, it looks like we are in big trouble today."
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and struggled to stand up.
"Never give up until the last moment!"
At this moment, the mysterious light in the sky suddenly became stronger, and a ray of light shot straight towards Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao subconsciously stretched out her hand and caught the light. After the light disappeared, an ancient secret book appeared in her hand.
"Could this be..." A hint of surprise flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes.
Before she could open the secret book, the enemy attacked again.
"Kill!" The enemies surged up like a tide.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood back to back, supporting each other, ready for the final battle...
