Chapter 322: "Fantasy World Counterattack: Lin Xiao's Rebirth from the Ashes"
Lin Xiao stood alone on the edge of the cliff, the wind howling like a mad beast, tearing her clothes and hair mercilessly. Her eyes, which were once lively, were now full of anger and unwillingness, staring into the distance, as if she wanted to see through the world.
"This damn fate, why does it always make things difficult for me!" Lin Xiao gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words, her voice full of anger and helplessness. She clenched her hands into fists, her knuckles turned white because of the excessive force, and her body trembled slightly because of anger.
The sky was so gloomy that it seemed to drip water. The heavy dark clouds were like black peaks pressing down on the top of the head, giving people a strong sense of oppression. The mountains in the distance were looming in the thick fog, as if hiding countless secrets and dangers.
Lin Xiao's thoughts surged like a tide, and she recalled the hardships she had experienced during this period, and her anger grew stronger and stronger. She had wanted to live a low-key life in this mysterious and fantasy world, grow crops, and treat her illnesses, but she didn't expect that troubles would come to her one after another.
"I just want to live a peaceful life, why is it so difficult!" Lin Xiao shouted angrily to the sky, his voice sounding so small and helpless in the strong wind.
At this moment, a burst of rapid horse hoof sounds broke the silence, like a heavy hammer hitting Lin Xiao's heart. She turned her head cautiously, and saw a group of men in black riding horses galloping towards her like ghosts, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves filled the air.
"Lin Xiao, today is the day you die!" The leading man in black shouted viciously, and the voice sounded like a devil from hell.
Lin Xiao snorted coldly, her eyes instantly became extremely cold, "You guys think you can take my life? That's just a pipe dream!" As she spoke, she flashed and instantly drew out the sword at her waist that was flashing with cold light, and rushed towards the man in black without hesitation.
The two sides instantly fell into a fierce battle. Lin Xiao was agile, like an agile leopard, and the sword in her hand danced like a dragon, and every move was full of power and murderous intent.
"Bang!" Lin Xiao's sword collided violently with the weapon of a man in black, splashing a string of dazzling sparks. At that moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.
"Hmph, you overestimate your own abilities!" Lin Xiao's eyes revealed contempt. She dodged the opponent's fierce attack by flexibly leaning sideways. At the same time, she swung her sword back and stabbed the opponent's shoulder with lightning speed.
"Ah!" The man in black screamed, fell heavily from his horse, and rolled on the ground in pain.
However, there were so many men in black, and they were all well-trained killers, that Lin Xiao gradually felt overwhelmed. Her breathing began to become rapid, and her forehead was covered with sweat, but her eyes were still firm and unyielding.
At this moment, a cold arrow shot towards her back like lightning.
"Be careful!" a familiar and anxious voice came.
It turned out that Mo Yu arrived in time. He moved as fast as lightning and swung the long spear in his hand. With a "clang" sound, he knocked the cold arrow away.
"Lin Xiao, I'm here to help you!" Mo Yu shouted loudly, his eyes full of concern and anxiety.
Lin Xiao felt warm in her heart, but she refused to give in. "Who needs your help? I can do it myself!" As she spoke, she continued to struggle against the attack of the man in black.
Mo Yu smiled helplessly, "It's already this time, and you're still being stubborn." As he said that, he joined the battle without hesitation.
Mo Yu's martial arts skills were strong, and his spear skills were sharp. Wherever he went, the men in black fell one after another. With the tacit cooperation of the two, the men in black gradually lost the upper hand.
"Retreat!" Seeing the situation was not good, the leading man in black shouted and fled in a panic with his men.
Lin Xiao and Mo Yu did not chase after them. They stood where they were, breathing heavily.
"Why are you here?" Lin Xiao looked at Mo Yu with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Mo Yu smiled and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, "If I didn't come, you would be in danger."
Lin Xiao rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't give me that. I don't need your sympathy."
Mo Yu shook his head. "This is not sympathy, but worry. I can't just watch you get into trouble."
At this moment, a dazzling flash of lightning suddenly streaked across the sky, followed by heavy raindrops as big as beans.
"Oh no, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first." Mo Yu said, taking Lin Xiao's hand and preparing to leave.
Lin Xiao shook his hand away, "Don't touch me! I can walk by myself."
Mo Yu shrugged helplessly, and the two ran in the rain, looking for a place to shelter.
They ran in the rain for a long time and finally found a dilapidated cave.
"Let's go in and hide from the rain first." Mo Yu said.
Lin Xiao didn't say anything and walked straight into the cave.
The cave was dark and damp, and filled with an unpleasant smell. Lin Xiao found a relatively clean place to sit down, hugged his knees, and said nothing.
Mo Yu built a fire nearby, trying to keep the two of them warm.
"Don't be angry, okay?" Mo Yu said cautiously.
Lin Xiao raised his head and glared at him fiercely, "I'm not angry."
Mo Yu smiled and said, "You said you're not angry, but your face is so long."
Lin Xiao turned his head away and ignored him.
Mo Yu sighed, "I know you want to be strong, but sometimes, accepting help from others is not a bad thing."
Lin Xiao was silent for a while, "I just don't want to be a burden to others."
Mo Yu walked up to her and patted her shoulder gently, "In my heart, you will never be a burden."
Lin Xiao felt touched, but still said, "Slippery tongue."
The rain was still falling, but the atmosphere in the cave gradually eased.
