Chapter 640: Survival in the Mist 117

Wang Li looked at Xiao Zhang, her eyes full of disappointment and anger. She didn't expect Xiao Zhang to betray her for the power of the artifact and treasure. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain and anger in her heart.

"I won't let you succeed!" Wang Li shouted and got up from the ground. Although she had lost her sword, her eyes were still firm and brave.

Seeing this, the mysterious man sneered: "Hmph, you overestimate your own abilities!" As he said that, he swung his sword towards Wang Li.

Wang Li dodged the mysterious man's attack with a flash. Although she lost her sword, she was still agile and flexible. She took the opportunity to pick up a stone on the ground and threw it at the mysterious man.

The mysterious man dodged the stone attack by moving sideways. However, Wang Li did not give up. She kept picking up stones and branches on the ground and throwing them at the mysterious man. Although her attack was simple, it was full of strength and determination.

The mysterious man was getting impatient. He swung his sword towards Wang Li, wanting to defeat her in one fell swoop. However, Wang Li nimbly dodged his attack and took the opportunity to get close to him.

She leaped suddenly and landed on the mysterious man's back. She hugged the mysterious man's neck tightly with both hands and wrapped her legs tightly around his waist. She wanted to subdue the mysterious man in this way.

The mysterious man was horrified. He didn't expect Wang Li to have such a strong fighting spirit and courage. He struggled hard, trying to get rid of Wang Li's entanglement. However, Wang Li held him tightly and refused to let go.

"Xiao Zhang, why don't you come and help!" the mysterious man shouted at Xiao Zhang.

Xiao Zhang's heart trembled when he heard this. He watched the mysterious man and Wang Li entangled, and his heart was full of hesitation and struggle. He wanted to help the mysterious man subdue Wang Li, but he didn't want to betray his conscience and morality.

However, driven by greed and fear, he finally chose to help the mysterious man. He rushed forward and grabbed Wang Li's arm, trying to pull her off the mysterious man's back.

Wang Li was horrified. She had never thought that Xiao Zhang would betray her. She gritted her teeth and held back the pain and anger in her heart. She hugged the mysterious man's neck tightly and refused to let go.

"Xiao Zhang, let me go! You can't betray me!" Wang Li shouted.

However, Xiao Zhang seemed not to hear her cry. He pulled Wang Li's arm hard, trying to pull her off the mysterious man's back.

At this moment, the mysterious man suddenly exerted force. He shook his head violently and threw Wang Li out. Wang Li fell heavily to the ground, and she almost fainted from the pain.

The mysterious man took the opportunity to swing his sword towards Wang Li. However, at this moment, a golden light suddenly flashed by. The mysterious man's sword was shaken away by an invisible force.

The mysterious man was horrified. He looked up and saw a golden light falling from the sky. In the light, a warrior wearing golden armor slowly landed in front of them.

"Who are you?" the mysterious man asked warily.

The golden warrior did not answer his question. He just stood there silently, his eyes full of determination and courage. The golden sword in his hand flashed a dazzling light in the sun.

"Are you here to stop us?" the mysterious man asked again.

The golden warrior nodded: "That's right. I can't let you continue to do whatever you want. The power of artifacts and treasures should not be used to satisfy personal greed and desires."

Hearing this, the mysterious man sneered: "Humph, who do you think you are? What gives you the right to stop us?"

The golden warrior said nothing. He just raised the sword in his hand silently. His eyes were full of determination and strength. He knew that this battle was unavoidable.

Seeing this, the mysterious man stopped talking. He swung his sword towards the golden warrior. However, the golden warrior seemed to be able to predict his movements and was always able to easily avoid his attacks.

The two fought back and forth for more than a dozen rounds. Their movements were extremely fast and agile, like two lightning bolts interweaving in the night sky.

Wang Li and Xiao Zhang were stunned watching from the side. They didn't expect the golden warrior to be so skilled. They didn't expect that this mysterious man would have such a powerful opponent.

However, as time went on, the mysterious man's physical strength began to decline. His movements became slower and slower, and his breathing became more and more rapid.

Seeing this, the golden warrior took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack. The long sword in his hand cut through the air like lightning and stabbed at the mysterious man's vital point.

The mysterious man was horrified. He wanted to dodge the golden warrior's attack, but it was too late. The golden warrior's sword pierced his chest, and blood immediately stained his clothes red.

"You..." The mysterious man stared at the golden warrior with eyes wide open, his eyes full of resentment and anger. However, before he finished speaking, he fell to the ground and died.

The golden warrior put away his sword and stood there silently. His eyes were full of determination and calmness. He knew that although he had defeated the mysterious man, the battle was far from over.

Wang Li and Xiao Zhang both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw this. They didn't expect the golden warrior to defeat the mysterious man so easily. They didn't expect that this golden warrior would be so powerful and mysterious.

"Thank you for saving us." Wang Li said gratefully.

The golden warrior smiled and shook his head: "You're welcome. I just did what I should do."

"Who are you? Why do you have such powerful skills?" Xiao Zhang asked curiously.

The golden warrior did not answer his question directly. He just stared into the distance silently, as if thinking about something. After a long while, he slowly said, "I am a warrior who protects artifacts and treasures. My mission is to protect them from being tainted by greed and desire."

Wang Li and Xiao Zhang were surprised when they heard this. They didn't expect that the golden warrior would be the warrior who guarded the artifacts and treasures. They didn't expect that this warrior would be so mysterious and powerful.

"Then...can you tell us the whereabouts of the artifacts and treasures?" Xiao Zhang asked tentatively.

The golden warrior shook his head: "I cannot tell you the whereabouts of the artifacts and treasures. I can only tell you that their power should not be used to satisfy personal greed and desire. Only those who are truly qualified can master their power."

Wang Li and Xiao Zhang fell silent after hearing this. They knew that the golden warrior's words made sense. They also knew how stupid and ridiculous their previous behavior was.

"Then... can we continue looking for artifacts and treasures?" Wang Li asked hesitantly.

The golden warrior smiled and nodded: "Of course. But you must remember that the purpose of searching for artifacts and treasures is to protect this world, not to satisfy personal greed and desire."

Wang Li and Xiao Zhang both showed a resolute look when they heard this. They knew that they had finally found their true goal and direction. They also knew that only those who were truly qualified could master the power of artifacts and treasures.
