Chapter 427: Lin Xiao's Life and Death Decision

Lin Xiao stood in the middle of the mysterious room, her body trembling slightly because of extreme fear. The eerie voice seemed to still echo in the room, making her heart tighten.

At this moment, the bottles and jars in the room suddenly began to shake violently, as if an invisible force was controlling them. Strange smoke continued to pour out from the mouths of the bottles, quickly filling the entire room, and Lin Xiao was choked and coughed repeatedly.

"What on earth is going on?" She covered her mouth and nose with her sleeves and tried to find a way out in the smoke.

Suddenly, she felt a pair of cold hands on her shoulders. Lin Xiao turned her head in horror, but saw nothing.

"Ah!" She couldn't help but scream and tried desperately to shake off those hands, but found that she couldn't move at all.

At this moment, the lights in the room began to flicker, and the portraits on the wall seemed to come alive. The characters in the paintings slowly walked out of the frame, their faces distorted and their eyes full of malice.

"Little girl, you can't escape." One of the characters in the painting said grimly.

Lin Xiao closed his eyes in despair, his heart filled with fear and helplessness.

However, just when she felt hopeless, the jade pendant on her chest suddenly emitted a warm light. The light instantly dispelled the surrounding smoke, and the characters in the painting were also forced back by the light.

Lin Xiao opened his eyes and saw strange runes flashing on the jade pendant.

"Does this jade pendant have any magical power?" A glimmer of hope rose in her heart.

At this moment, a huge crack suddenly appeared on the floor of the room, and a powerful suction force pulled Lin Xiao down.

"No!" She grabbed a cabinet beside her tightly, trying to resist the force.

At this critical moment, the mysterious voice sounded again: "As long as you give me the jade pendant, I will save your life."

Lin Xiao gritted his teeth and said, "Save me first, and I'll give it to you."

"Hmph, you have no room for bargaining." said the mysterious voice coldly.

Lin Xiao was struggling in her heart. She didn't know whether she should believe this mysterious man.

Just as she was hesitating, the man who had been helping her suddenly appeared in the room.

"Lin Xiao, don't believe him!" the man shouted.

When Lin Xiao saw the man, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Why are you here?" Lin Xiao asked.

The man said, "I'm here to save you."

The mysterious voice said angrily: "Don't even think about leaving!"

As he spoke, countless dark tentacles appeared in the room and attacked them.

The man cast a powerful spell and fought fiercely with the tentacles. Lin Xiao also picked up the dagger and joined the battle.

During the battle, Lin Xiao and the man cooperated with each other and their feelings gradually heated up.

However, the enemy's power grew stronger and stronger, and they gradually fell into trouble.

"This is not a solution," the man said.

Lin Xiao looked at the jade pendant in his hand and made a decision in his heart.

"I will use the jade pendant to seal all of this." Lin Xiao said loudly.

The man looked at her in surprise: "You might be in danger of your life if you do this."

Lin Xiao said firmly: "As long as I can save you, I am willing to do anything."

As she spoke, she threw the jade pendant into the air and chanted an ancient spell. The jade pendant emitted a dazzling light, illuminating the entire room like daylight.

The dark tentacles gradually dissipated in the light, and the mysterious voice let out a painful roar.

But just when everything was about to end, the jade pendant suddenly lost control, and a powerful force attacked Lin Xiao...
