Chapter 804: Counterattack in Adversity: Xiao Bei's Struggle
Xiao Bei's eyes fixed and he looked up into the distance. There was nothing in the direction where the sound disappeared, only a few clouds torn apart by sword energy slowly floating by.
The sneer still echoed in his ears, like a thorn in his heart.
He knew very well that this was just the beginning.
Enemies hiding in the shadows are more dangerous and more difficult to deal with than the minions in front of you.
"Li'er, let's go." Xiao Bei took Bei Li's hand with a firm tone.
He knew that in order to completely resolve this crisis, he had to take the initiative and eradicate this mysterious force.
Xiao Bei chased in the direction the man in black retreated.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, mixed with a strange fragrance, like some special incense.
He identified the fragrance and followed it all the way, finding that the fragrance became stronger and stronger, and finally came to a desolate valley.
The valley was full of jagged rocks, and a cold wind blew, bringing a chilling air to the face.
Xiao Bei released his spiritual sense and carefully explored the surrounding situation.
He felt a powerful fluctuation of power, hidden in the depths of the valley, looming, like a dormant giant beast, which was frightening.
He walked cautiously towards the direction where the power fluctuations came from. Beili followed closely behind him without saying a word.
The deeper you go, the stronger the power fluctuations become, and the heavier the air around you becomes, as if even breathing becomes difficult.
Finally, Xiao Bei stopped in front of a huge rock.
The surface of the rock is as smooth as a mirror, with a faint purple glow.
Xiao Bei stretched out his hand to touch the rock, and a powerful recoil force came instantly, pushing him back several steps.
He steadied himself. This rock was not an ordinary stone, but a powerful restriction!
He tried again, gathering his spiritual power in his palm and slowly pushing it towards the rock.
This time, the recoil force was even stronger, like an overwhelming tidal wave.
Xiao Bei groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
He looked up at the purple light flickering on the rock, his eyes determined: "I want to see how strong your restriction is!" He took a deep breath, formed seals with his hands, and an even stronger power surged within him...
"break!"
Xiao Bei roared, and golden immortal power surged out like a tide, hitting the rocks hard.
The ban trembled violently, and the purple light flickered like a candle swaying in the wind.
However, just a moment later, the light stabilized again, and the recoil force became even more violent, knocking Xiao Bei away.
He fell heavily to the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood.
He struggled to get up, his clothes were torn and covered in blood.
The severe pain made his eyes go black, but he gritted his teeth and refused to fall down.
He looked up at the motionless rock, his heart filled with resentment.
Is it true that he is unable to break through this restriction?
Did he really have to watch the mastermind behind this incident go unpunished?
He tried again and again, and was knocked away again and again.
His body was covered in wounds and his spiritual power was almost exhausted.
But he still refused to give up, because he knew that he was shouldering the heavy responsibility of protecting the fairy world and he could not fall down!
"Xiao Bei!" Bei Li shouted anxiously, "Don't try again, you will die!" She looked at Xiao Bei's scarred body and felt heartbroken.
Xiao Bei shook his head, with a determined light flashing in his eyes: "I must go in, I must find out the truth!"
Beili suddenly remembered something and her eyes lit up: "Wait! I remembered that our family's ancient books recorded a special method to break the ban. Maybe it can be done..." She quickly told Xiao Bei the method.
Xiao Bei Golden runes flew out from his fingertips and merged into the rock.
The purple light on the ban began to flicker violently, making a crackling sound, as if it would collapse at any time.
An excited expression appeared on Xiao Bei's face. He felt that the power of the ban was weakening.
"Crack!" With a crisp sound, a crack appeared on the surface of the rock, and purple light leaked out, illuminating the entire valley.
Xiao Bei took a deep breath and injected all the remaining immortal power into the crack.
The crack expanded rapidly, and eventually, the entire rock shattered, revealing a dark entrance.
"Let's go!" Xiao Bei took Bei Li's hand and jumped into the entrance without hesitation...
In the darkness, a cold voice sounded: "It's finally here..."
Xiao Bei and Bei Li jumped into the black hole, and after a dizzying spin, they landed on the ground.
What came into view was a huge underground space, with torches lighting up the surroundings. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and the cold smell of metal.
Dozens of black-clad guards surrounded them instantly, each holding a sharp blade and full of murderous intent.
"Anyone who trespasses will be killed!" The leading guard shouted and launched the attack first.
The knife flashed like lightning and struck Xiao Bei, and the sharp wind made his cheek hurt.
Xiao Bei's eyes flashed, he dodged the attack sideways, and slapped the guard away with his backhand.
With a "bang", the guard hit the stone pillar hard, spitting blood, and his life or death was unknown.
Seeing this, the other guards rushed forward, swords flashing and sabers flashing, and surrounded Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei was not afraid at all, and his figure moved like a ghost among the flashes of swords and sabers.
Fists and palms flew, each strike contained powerful force and was fatal.
The muffled sound of "bang bang bang" continued to be heard, and the guards flew backwards one by one, and screams filled the entire space.
The stone pillars broke, debris flew everywhere, and deep pits were smashed into the ground.
The aftermath of the battle destroyed all the surrounding buildings, and the flickering torches reflected the devastated scene.
Seeing this, Beili was extremely worried and rushed in without caring about his own safety.
"Xiao Bei!" she shouted anxiously.
When Xiao Bei heard Bei Li's voice, his heart tightened. He turned around abruptly, pulled her behind him, and protected her with his body.
"Don't come over here, it's dangerous!"
Beili felt the warmth coming from Xiao Bei and felt much more at ease.
She clutched the corner of Xiao Bei's clothes tightly, her eyes full of worry.
Xiao Bei glanced at the guards around him and found that although they were well-trained and coordinated well, their attack methods were single and they seemed to deliberately avoid Bei Li.
He wondered in his heart, did these guards have any concerns?
At this moment, a cold voice came from above: "Xiao Bei, you are here as expected..."
Xiao Bei's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. During the fierce fight, he keenly caught a common feature of these black-clad guards: although their attacks were fierce, they deliberately avoided attacking their left shoulders.
This is not a coincidence, Xiao Bei thought to himself, there must be some secret hidden in their left shoulders.
He dodged a guard's slash with a flash of his body, and at the same time quickly stepped forward and pointed a finger at the guard's left shoulder and collarbone.
The guard groaned, staggered, dropped the sharp blade in his hand to the ground, and fell down in pain, holding his shoulder.
Sure enough!
Xiao Bei was delighted, as he had found their weakness.
He showed no mercy anymore, his body was as fast as lightning, moving through the group of guards, his fingertips constantly pointing out, accurately hitting each guard's left shoulder and collarbone.
Screams rang out one after another, and the guards fell to the ground like puppets with their strings cut.
The strong smell of blood filled the air, stimulating the sense of smell.
"Xiao Bei, you are so cruel!" A voice came from above, trembling slightly.
Xiao Bei looked up and saw a man in a black robe standing on the platform with a gloomy face.
"It's you!" Xiao Bei recognized that this person was the leader of the men in black who had escaped before.
"Yes, it's me!" the leader of the men in black said with gritted teeth, "I didn't expect you to be able to find our weakness. But, do you think you can defeat us just like that? How naive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the ground suddenly shook, cracks appeared on the surrounding stone walls, and a powerful force wave came from deep underground.
With a loud rumbling sound, the ground cracked and a huge figure slowly rose.
It was a giant several dozen feet tall, covered in black scales, with blood-red eyes, emitting a suffocating aura.
"What kind of monster is this?" Beili exclaimed, with a hint of fear in his voice.
Xiao Bei's face was solemn, he clenched his fists, and felt an unprecedented pressure.
He knew that the real battle had just begun.
"Li'er, be careful!" He protected Beili behind him, staring intently at the giant in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, let me see how strong you are!"
"Roar!" The giant let out a deafening roar, and his huge fist smashed towards Xiao Bei with a whistling sound of wind.
Xiao Bei dodged the attack with a flash of his body. A huge deep pit was smashed into the ground, and gravel flew everywhere.
He took a deep breath. He knew that this was a battle of life and death and he had to give it his all!
Deep in the underground space, in a dark corner, a figure watched all this quietly, with a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
"Xiao Bei, you finally fell into my trap..."
