In the fantasy world, all the people I met were beauties.

At this critical moment, Li Zimo, who had just fallen to the ground, relied on his amazing willpower and profound cultivation. He slapped the ground and his figure moved like a ghost, displaying his mastery of skills - Wind God Step. He instantly appeared in front of Xiao Ling and Wen Wan'er, and used his mastery of the Sky-Splitting Sword Technique to block the fatal blow for them.

Although Li Zimo tried his best, the residual force of the sword still made him retreat repeatedly, staggering, and the two sword wounds on his chest bled profusely, staining his clothes red.

Xiao Ling and Wen Wan'er also had tears in their eyes. They ran to Li Zimo crying and supported him on both sides.

Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen had already struggled to get up from the ground. Each of them had a shocking scar on their chest, and blood was constantly oozing out. They looked extremely embarrassed.

Zhao Yanran endured the pain and quickly took out an exquisite jade slip from her arms. It was an emergency communication tool that monster hunters like them needed to contact the Divine Guards.

She decisively informed the details of the attack and its location, and without hesitation crushed the jade slip and sent a distress signal to the Divine Guards.

After doing all this, she looked up at the man in black, her eyes filled with both determination and helplessness:

"Senior, I have sent a message to the Divine Guards, and they will be here soon. I hope you can stop here to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and conflicts."

The man in black did not answer immediately, but just stood there quietly, his eyes under the black robe seeming to see through everything.

The air around them seemed to be frozen, and only the heavy breathing of the four people and the faint roar of spirit beasts in the distance broke the silence.

After a few breaths, he seemed to have assessed the combat capabilities of these five people and realized that it would be difficult to defeat them in a short time, so he spoke coldly:

"Hand over the Spirit Vein Opening Fruit, and I'll let you live! Even if the Divine Martial Guards arrive at full strength, it will take three hours. I'll only give you three breaths to consider."

After saying that, he began to count.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

Faced with the cold threat from the man in black, a hint of determination flashed in the eyes of Li Zimo, Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen.

They knew very well that even if they handed over the Lingmai Tongqiao Fruit, they might not be able to save their lives. Moreover, this fruit was obtained by them after going through many hardships, so how could they give it away easily?

At the moment when the man in black finished his countdown, the three of them shouted "Go!" almost at the same time, and rushed towards the man in black like an arrow.

Li Zimo was the first to bear the brunt of the attack. The long sword in his hand seemed to have turned into a sharp blade that could tear apart the sky and the earth. Every time he swung the sword, it carried the momentum of destroying the world. This was the Sky-Splitting Sword Technique that he was proud of.

Zhao Yanran danced with the long sword in her hand, the sword light was like mercury pouring down on the ground, and she flexibly shuttled across the battlefield, sometimes attacking the flank of the man in black, and sometimes covering Feng Wuhen's attack.

Feng Wuhen relied on his flexible body and amazing explosive power. Every time he swung his sword, the air vibrated and he put a lot of pressure on the man in black.

Although the three men's cultivation was not as good as the man in black, Li Zimo himself had the strength to challenge a second-level warrior. With his tacit cooperation and firm will, he fought the man in black to a standstill for a while.

The sword light and sword energy intertwined together, cutting the surrounding trees and bushes into pieces, and the entire battlefield seemed to have turned into chaos.

The man in black was furious when he saw this.

He never expected that he, a third-level martial artist, would be forced into such a miserable state by three martial artists working together.

He roared angrily, and the spiritual power in his body surged out like a flood. The sword energy on the sword became even more fierce, and every time he swung the sword, it brought destructive power.

However, even under such an attack, Li Zimo and the other two did not retreat.

They knew that this was their only chance, and only by giving it their all could they defeat this powerful enemy.

So, they cooperated more closely, and each attack was precise and powerful, striving to leave more scars on the man in black.

As time went on, the man in black gradually felt the pressure from the combined forces of the three.

He understood that if he continued to delay like this, even if he could eventually win, it would come at a heavy price.

So he began to look for opportunities to defeat the three people in one fell swoop.

At this moment, Li Zimo suddenly realized the intention of the man in black.

He was startled and immediately loudly reminded Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen to be careful.

At the same time, he flashed and, with the help of the magical Wind God Step, instantly appeared behind the man in black and stabbed the man in black's vitals with a sword.

Seeing this, Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen immediately launched a new round of offensive, trying to create more opportunities for Li Zimo.

However, the man in black reacted extremely quickly. He turned around and blocked Li Zimo's attack with a sword, shocking Li Zimo and forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

At the same time, he retreated several steps to avoid the joint attack of Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen, and then displayed powerful sword skills and martial arts, slashing towards Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen.

Although Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen worked together to resist, they were still seriously injured and fell to the ground. Their strength was greatly reduced and they could no longer provide help to Li Zimo.

The atmosphere on the entire battlefield became more tense and desperate.

A strong sense of anger and unwillingness surged in Li Zimo's heart, but he knew that now was not the time to act on impulse.

He made a quick decision and rushed towards the man in black to continue the fight, while throwing the jade bottle containing the Lingmai Tongqiao Fruit to Zhao Yanran without hesitation.

"You guys go first, I'll stop him! Don't worry, he can't hurt me."

Li Zimo's voice was firm and resolute, but his eyes revealed a subtle worry.

He knew very well that although he was strong, there was still a gap between him and the man in black.

He knew very well that he could not hold out for long in a head-on fight. If the men in black wanted to jump over him and kill Zhao Yanran and the others, he would have no way to protect them.

Seeing this, Wen Wan'er and Xiao Ling's faces were filled with worry about Li Zimo's safety. They didn't want to escape alone and wanted to stay and help Li Zimo.

However, Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen are well aware of their current situation.

Although they wanted to help, they were already seriously injured. Reason told them that staying here would only become a burden to Li Zimo.

"Let's go first and don't leave him a burden."

Although Zhao Yanran's voice was weak, it was full of determination.

She quickly analyzed the current situation and proposed a relatively safe escape plan:

"You two should flee outside separately, and I will flee inside with the Spirit Vein Tongqiao Fruit. Fleeing separately this way will increase our chances of escape."

Faced with Zhao Yanran's decision, although Feng Wuhen was unwilling, he also knew that this was the result of her consideration of the overall situation, and now was not the time to argue about who should attract the pursuers.

Although Wen Wan'er and Xiao Ling still wanted to argue, they had no choice but to accept it after seeing the determined looks of Zhao Yanran and Feng Wuhen.

Li Zimo cast a trusting look at Zhao Yanran, as if telling her:

"Don't worry, I will protect myself."

So, under the cover of Li Zimo, Zhao Yanran ran towards the depths of the Wanshou Lingyuan. While running, she held the jade bottle containing the Lingmai Tongqiao Fruit in her hand and waved it to the man in black.

Wen Wan'er, Feng Wuhen and Xiao Ling ran out of the Wanshou Lingyuan together.

Their hearts were filled with concern for the safety of Li Zimo and Zhao Yanran, but they also understood that only by surviving would they have the chance to reunite and avenge today's sacrifice.
