Chapter 158: "Illusionary World and Despair: Lin Xiao's Counterattack"
Lin Xiao stood alone in the dark and gloomy forest. The moonlight shone through the gaps between the dense leaves like a veil, but it could not bring her any warmth. The surroundings were filled with eerie silence, and the occasional cries of night owls seemed like a requiem from hell.
Lin Xiao's eyes were bloodshot, full of vigilance and fear. She tightly grasped the dagger in her hand, which was already a little bent. Her palm was full of sweat, so that the dagger was a little slippery. Her originally beautiful clothes had already become tattered in the previous fierce battle. Several wounds were still oozing blood, staining the clothes even more mottled.
"Damn it, how could I end up like this!" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, his voice filled with resentment and anger.
Not long ago, she was enjoying a moment of peace in the town, but was suddenly attacked by a group of unknown black-clad men. These black-clad men were agile and well-trained, like they had been trained as professional killers. Lin Xiao was completely unprepared and could only flee desperately, all the way into the forest.
She didn't know why these men in black were chasing her, nor did she know who she had offended. She only knew that if she couldn't get rid of these people, she would probably die here today.
Suddenly, a breeze blew, and the leaves rustled. Lin Xiao's nerves instantly tensed up, she looked around vigilantly, and her body trembled involuntarily.
"Who? Come out! Don't hide there!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice echoed in the silent forest, but there was no response.
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. Various thoughts kept flashing through her mind, thinking about how to get out of the predicament.
"Mo Yu, you bastard, where were you at the critical moment?" Lin Xiao thought to himself, with a hint of helplessness and expectation in his eyes.
Just then, Lin Xiao heard a faint sound of footsteps, which were getting closer and closer, as if every step was stepping on her heart.
"Come out, I know you are there!" Lin Xiao shouted again, with a hint of trembling in his voice, but more of determination.
A dark figure slowly walked out of the woods, and the figure gradually became clearer. Lin Xiao's eyes widened, and his face was full of surprise and anger.
"It's you! Xiaolan!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
It turned out that the person who came was Xiaolan, her once most trusted friend.
Xiaolan had a cold smile on her face, and her eyes were full of indifference and ruthlessness. "Lin Xiao, you didn't expect that today would be the day you die."
Lin Xiao glared at Xiaolan and said in a trembling voice: "Why? Aren't we friends? Why do you treat me like this?"
Xiaolan burst into laughter, and her laughter was particularly harsh in the forest. "Friends? In this cruel world, only interests are eternal! You are blocking my way, so you must die!"
Lin Xiao clenched the dagger tightly, leaned forward slightly, and made an attacking gesture. "In that case, don't blame me for being rude! Today, either you die or I die!"
After saying that, Lin Xiao flashed and rushed towards Xiaolan like a bolt of lightning.
Xiaolan was not to be outdone. She drew out the gleaming sword from her waist and rushed towards Lin Xiao.
For a moment, swords and sabers flashed and the two men engaged in a fierce life-and-death struggle.
"Hmph, Lin Xiao, do you think you can beat me?" Xiaolan shouted while fighting, her face full of contempt.
Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and shot back, "Stop talking nonsense, watch this!"
The two men fought back and forth with fierce moves, and each move was full of deadly threats.
Just when the two were fighting hard, Lin Xiao suddenly slipped, lost his balance, and revealed a big flaw.
Xiaolan seized the opportunity, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes, and she stabbed Lin Xiao with a sword.
"It's over, I'm dead now!" Lin Xiao thought to himself.
At this critical moment, a figure fell from the sky and stood in front of Lin Xiao.
"Who dares to touch her!" A deep and magnetic voice sounded.
Lin Xiao looked carefully and found that the person coming was Mo Yu.
"Mo Yu, you're finally here!" Lin Xiao was so excited that she almost cried.
Mo Yu glanced at Xiaolan coldly and said, "Xiaolan, you actually betrayed us! Today is your doomsday!"
When Xiaolan saw Mo Yu, her face turned pale, but she still pretended to be calm and said, "Mo Yu, don't meddle in other people's business!"
Mo Yu stopped talking nonsense and took action directly, starting a thrilling battle with Xiaolan.
Lin Xiao watched nervously from the side, silently praying in his heart that Mo Yu would win.
"Mo Yu, come on!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly.
Mo Yu's moves were extremely fierce and he quickly gained the upper hand.
Xiaolan gradually couldn't bear it anymore, and beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on her forehead.
"Mo Yu, I was wrong, please forgive me!" Xiaolan began to beg for mercy.
Mo Yu was unmoved and said coldly: "You know you are wrong now? It's too late!"
After saying that, Mo Yu used a deadly stunt and Xiaolan was knocked to the ground instantly.
"Hmph, this is the consequence of betrayal!" Mo Yu said.
Lin Xiao ran over and threw himself into Mo Yu's arms.
"Mo Yu, thank you!" Lin Xiao said.
Mo Yu patted Lin Xiao's back gently and said, "Don't be afraid. I'm here. No one can hurt you."
Just then, a low roar suddenly came from the forest.
"What the hell is this thing?" Lin Xiao asked in horror.
Mo Yu frowned and said, "Be careful, it may be a stronger enemy."
