Chapter 321: "A Fantasy World of Despair: Lin Xiao's Bloody Journey to Survival"
Lin Xiao had just barely escaped from the fierce battle that was like a nightmare. At this moment, she was covered in blood, and every inch of her skin seemed to be corroded by pain and fatigue. Her steps were weak and she staggered in this vast, uninhabited desert. The scorching sun above her head, like a ruthless tyrant, wantonly released its unbearable high temperature, turning this desert into a burning purgatory.
Lin Xiao's lips were as dry as a riverbed that had dried up for years, with deep cracks oozing blood. Every difficult breath was like a hot knife cutting back and forth in her throat. She raised her head and looked at the seemingly endless desert. The despair in her eyes was like thick ink, almost swallowing her whole.
"This damn place, are they really going to bury me alive here?" Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words from the depths of his throat with difficulty. His voice was so hoarse that it seemed as if it was squeezed out of a broken bellows.
Suddenly, a violent gust of wind swept over like the roar of a demon. The yellow sand in the sky was instantly rolled up, forming a yellow curtain wall that covered the sky and the sun, rushing towards Lin Xiao with overwhelming force. The wind carried sharp sand and gravel, ruthlessly whipping her face, causing pain to her delicate skin.
Lin Xiao subconsciously raised her hands and tried to protect her face, but the wounds on her hands that were still bleeding were rubbed fiercely by the rough sand. The pain was like a thousand arrows piercing her heart, and she couldn't help but groan in pain.
"Oh! God, you are trying to kill me!" Tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced herself not to let them fall. Her eyes still flashed with stubbornness and indomitable spirit.
At this moment, a mysterious figure quietly emerged from the sand dunes in the distance like a ghost. Lin Xiao's nerves instantly tensed up, and all the muscles in her body were ready for battle. Her originally exhausted eyes now ignited a flame of vigilance, and her hands tightly grasped the bloodstained sword at her waist.
"Who is it? Come out if you're brave!" Lin Xiao shouted loudly, his voice sounded so weak yet firm in the strong wind.
The mysterious figure slowly walked towards Lin Xiao. As the distance between them gradually shortened, Lin Xiao finally saw the person's face clearly.
"It's you!" Lin Xiao widened his eyes and showed an expression of disbelief on his face, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
It turned out that the person who came was Su Yao, whom Lin Xiao once regarded as a close friend but now has become his enemy.
Su Yao sneered, and that smile was full of ridicule and contempt, like a sharp knife, stabbing straight into Lin Xiao's heart.
"Lin Xiao, I didn't expect you to be in such a miserable state today." Su Yao's voice was like the cold wind on a winter night, gloomy and cold.
Lin Xiao glared at Su Yao, his eyes burning with rage, as if he wanted to burn the person in front of him to ashes.
"Su Yao, why do you treat me like this? We used to be good friends who could talk about anything!" Lin Xiao shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice full of pain and confusion.
Su Yao burst into laughter, and the laughter echoed in the empty desert, sounding particularly harsh.
"Why? Because you blocked my way and prevented me from pursuing power and status!" Su Yao's eyes revealed greed and madness.
Lin Xiao was so angry that he was shaking all over. His lips trembled as he said, "You shameless traitor, you actually betrayed our friendship for those illusory things!"
Su Yao's eyes turned cold, like frost in the cold winter.
"Stop talking to me about friendship. In this world where the strong prey on the weak, only the strong can survive! Today is the day you die!"
As she spoke, Su Yao suddenly drew out her gleaming weapon, and with a flash of her body, she attacked Lin Xiao like a ghost.
Lin Xiaoqiang braced himself, gritted his teeth, and faced Su Yao's attack. In an instant, the two figures intertwined, the swords and shadows flashed and intertwined in the yellow sand, and the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart by this fierce battle.
"Bang!" Lin Xiao's sword collided fiercely with Su Yao's weapon, splashing out a string of dazzling sparks, like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky.
Lin Xiao gritted her teeth and used all her strength to resist Su Yao's powerful attack. Her sweat and blood mixed together and kept dripping from her forehead, dripping onto the hot sand and evaporating without a trace in an instant.
"Lin Xiao, give up, you are not my opponent at all! Just accept your death obediently, and I can make you suffer less!" Su Yao said proudly with a ferocious smile on her face.
"Don't even think about it! Even if I die, I will take you with me!" Lin Xiao roared, the fighting spirit in his eyes not diminished at all.
Just as the two were fighting, a strange and deep sound suddenly came from the sky. The sound seemed to come from an ancient giant beast, full of mystery and majesty. Lin Xiao and Su Yao stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked up at the sky.
I saw a huge flying bird, like the legendary Kunpeng, flying through the sky, blocking out the sun. On the back of the bird, there seemed to be a mysterious figure sitting, but his face was shrouded in a layer of hazy mist, making it impossible to see clearly.
"What is that?" Lin Xiao muttered to himself, his face full of confusion and surprise.
Before they could react, the bird suddenly swooped down, like a falling meteor, and rushed towards them. The wind whistled under its wings, stirring up an even more violent sandstorm.
