Chapter 172: Lin Xiao's Desperate Counterattack in the Fantasy World

Lin Xiao and Mo Yu stood side by side on the top of the towering and extremely steep mountain, surrounded by rolling clouds and mist, like a mysterious fairyland. However, at this moment, there was no expression of being intoxicated by the beautiful scenery on their faces, but instead a solemn and resolute expression.

Lin Xiao tightly grasped the sword in her hand, her eyes were as firm as iron, revealing a stubborn determination to die rather than surrender. "Mo Yu, I'm afraid we are really in a desperate situation this time." Her voice trembled slightly, but her determination did not diminish at all. Her clenched teeth and tight mouth corners showed her inner tension and determination.

Mo Yu reached out and gently placed his hand on Lin Xiao's shoulder. His eyes were full of concern and encouragement, as if they could give people endless strength. "Xiao'er, don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side, sharing life and death with you." His voice was low and powerful, with a reassuring calmness.

At this moment, the strong wind was like a mad beast, howling and sweeping in. The sound of the wind echoed in the valley, as if it was a roar from hell. In the distance, a group of black shadows were approaching them rapidly like ghosts, and every step was filled with strong murderous intent, making the air seem to condense.

"Hmph, you come with bad intentions!" Lin Xiao snorted coldly, his brows furrowed into a deep "川" shape, his eyes full of vigilance and anger.

Mo Yu drew out his sword, and the blade made a crisp sound in the wind, as if declaring war on the enemy. "Xiao'er, be careful and don't be careless." His voice was serious and calm.

As the shadows gradually approached, Lin Xiao could see clearly that they were a group of mysterious people wearing black armor and with masks covering their faces. Their eyes flashed with cold light, as if they had no emotion at all.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking our way?" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice full of anger and questioning.

The mysterious man at the head let out a sinister laugh that seemed to come from the abyss of the underworld, making people shudder. "Lin Xiao, today is your doomsday, so prepare to die!"

Lin Xiao glared at him, her eyes seemed to be spitting fire. "Want to kill me? That's not easy! Come at me if you have the guts!" After saying that, she flashed and launched the attack like an arrow from a bow.

Mo Yu was not to be outdone, he brandished his sword and started a fierce fight with the mysterious man. For a moment, the swords flashed and the sparks flew.

Lin Xiao's swordsmanship was as sharp as the wind, and every move was filled with determination and courage to kill. "Watch me, I'll show you how powerful I am!"

Mo Yu showed off his superb martial arts skills. His moves were as smooth as flowing water, like a graceful and deadly dance. "You guys, don't even think about hurting Xiao'er!"

However, the mysterious man was extremely powerful, and their cooperation was tacit, and every move was deadly. Lin Xiao and Mo Yu gradually fell into trouble, and sweat slid down their foreheads like rain.

Lin Xiao's arm was accidentally scratched by the enemy, and blood instantly dyed her sleeve red. "Xiao'er, how are you?" Mo Yu asked anxiously, his eyes full of worry.

Lin Xiao gritted her teeth and endured the pain. "I'm fine, keep fighting!" Although her voice was weak, it was still full of fighting spirit.

Just when they were about to give up, a strange sound suddenly came from the sky, the sound was like thunder, deafening. Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a bright light falling from the sky like a meteor, instantly illuminating the entire mountain.

"What is this?" The mysterious man was also shocked by this sudden change, and their movements paused for a moment.

The light faded, and a mysterious old man appeared in front of everyone. The old man had white hair, but was energetic, and his eyes were shining with wisdom.

"Whether it is a blessing or a curse depends on your luck..." the old man said slowly, with an indescribable vicissitudes and mystery in his voice.

Lin Xiao and Mo Yu looked at each other, their hearts full of doubts and expectations. The mysterious man looked at the old man warily, wondering what changes his appearance would bring to the battle...
