Chapter 914: "A bloody battle in a fantasy world: Lin Xiao's violent counterattack"
Lin Xiao held the sword tightly and walked lightly towards the roaring sound. The smell in the air became more pungent, and her brows were furrowed. Suddenly, a gust of wind carrying sand and stones rushed towards her, almost knocking her over. She turned around quickly and leaned against a huge rock, trying to stabilize her body. There seemed to be a vague figure passing by in the wind and sand, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye, making her wonder if it was just an illusion.
"What on earth is this place?" Lin Xiao whispered, with a hint of uneasiness in his voice.
At this moment, the voice of the mysterious man in black robe sounded again, with a hint of sarcasm: "Welcome to the Netherworld Labyrinth, little girl."
Lin Xiao was shocked and looked around. She saw nothing but sand and strange rocks. She shouted, "Where are you? Show yourself!"
The mysterious man's laughter echoed in the wind and sand: "I am right beside you, but you can't see me. This dark maze is designed for challengers."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. The most important thing now was to find a way to leave this place. She closed her eyes and tried to feel the air flowing around her, hoping to find any clues. Suddenly, she felt something in her heart, as if she had caught something. She opened her eyes and rushed in one direction. As she walked, the ground began to change, and complex and ancient patterns appeared, like some kind of formation.
Lin Xiao did not stop, secretly rejoicing that she might have touched the core of the maze. As expected, when she reached a certain position, the wind and sand around her disappeared instantly, revealing a clear sky.
She was standing on a huge stone platform, with a complex pattern carved in the center. Opposite the pattern stood the mysterious man in black robe, and next to him was a woman in red robe.
"You're finally here." The mysterious man said with a smile.
Lin Xiao looked at them warily: "Who are you? Why did you set up this maze?"
The red-robed woman chuckled and slowly approached: "I am the guardian of the Netherworld Labyrinth, and he is my master."
Lin Xiao was surprised: "Guardian? Master? What is your purpose?"
The mysterious man in black robe slowly said: "What I want is the sword in your hand."
Lin Xiao gripped the hilt tightly: "Why? What's so special about this sword?"
The red-robed woman's eyes flashed with a strange light: "Because this sword is the key to open the door to the illusion."
Lin Xiao's heart trembled: "The door to the illusion? What is that?"
The mysterious man in black robe laughed: "That is the entrance to another world. And you will be the key person to help us open that door."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath and realized that she had fallen into an unprecedented adventure. At this moment, the red-robed woman suddenly raised the light in her hand, and a dazzling red light attacked Lin Xiao. Lin Xiao jumped nimbly and dodged the attack. However, before she could fight back, a powerful force attacked from behind. She was thrown heavily to the ground, and the long sword flew out of her hand.
Lin Xiao stood up despite the pain and glared at the mysterious man in black robe: "What do you want?"
The mysterious man in black robe replied coldly: "What we want is the sword in your hand. Because this sword is the key to open the door to the illusion."
Lin Xiao clenched his fists: "Why? What's so different about this sword?"
A mysterious light flashed in the red-robed woman's eyes: "Because this sword is the only way to open the door to the illusion."
Lin Xiao's heart skipped a beat: "The door to the illusion? What on earth is that?"
The mysterious man in black robe smiled and said, "That is the portal to another world. And you will be the key to help us open that door."
Lin Xiao realized that this adventure had just begun.
