I walk sideways in the game world

As soon as Heifeng finished speaking, he rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao like a ghost, the sharp blade in his hand gleaming with a faint cold light. Ren Xiaoyao did not dare to neglect it and swung his sword to meet the attack. The two figures crossed each other, and the clang of weapons clashing resounded throughout the ruins.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin was worried when she saw Heifeng's ruthless moves. She waved the staff in her hand and ice cones shot towards Heifeng like raindrops.

Heifeng sneered, twisted his body strangely, easily dodged the attack of the ice cone, and kicked away a town guard who tried to approach.

"A bunch of trash!" Heifeng roared, and the sharp blade in his hand danced more fiercely. Ren Xiaoyao gradually felt the pressure doubled.

"Xiaoyao, I'm here to help you!" Guard Zhou brought the town guards to join the battle and fought with Heifeng's men.

"Guard Zhou, you guys hold the others back, leave Heifeng to me!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted, the spiritual power in his body circulated wildly, and the long sword in his hand burst out with dazzling light.

"Arrogant!" Heifeng snorted disdainfully, but he did not dare to underestimate the enemy. After all, Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin joined forces to kill the monster, and their strength should not be underestimated.

Ren Xiaoyao seized the moment when Heifeng was distracted and used his skills. His figure flashed like a ghost and he stabbed Heifeng in the chest with a sword. Heifeng was horrified and quickly dodged to the side, but the tip of Ren Xiaoyao's sword still left a bloody mark on his arm.

"Damn it!" Heifeng covered his injured arm, a hint of resentment flashed in his eyes. He knew that he had underestimated Ren Xiaoyao's strength.

"Brother Xiaoyao, his weakness is on his left shoulder!" Xia Lin had been looking for Heifeng's flaw, and finally she found it.

Ren Xiaoyao's eyes flashed when he heard this, and he shook the sword in his hand, transforming it into a streak of red lightning, heading straight for Heifeng's left shoulder. Heifeng was horrified and tried to dodge, but it was too late...

"You can't even think of succeeding!"

Seeing the situation was not good, Heifeng suddenly threw the sharp blade in his hand towards Ren Xiaoyao, and at the same time retreated violently, trying to escape the battlefield. Ren Xiaoyao was already prepared and dodged the flying blade, but he saw that Heifeng had already taken the opportunity to escape several feet away.

"Don't even think about escaping!" Guard Zhou roared, leading several town guards in pursuit. Heifeng glanced back at the people chasing him, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes. He pulled out a black bead from his bosom and crushed it violently.

"Oh no, he's going to release poisonous fog!" Xia Lin exclaimed when she saw this, and quickly waved her staff. A light blue light curtain enveloped everyone, resisting the erosion of the poisonous fog.

"Brother Xiaoyao, chase him! We can't let him run away!" Xia Lin shouted anxiously.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded, tapped the ground with his toes, and shot out like an arrow, catching up with Heifeng in the blink of an eye. Seeing that escape was hopeless, Heifeng turned around and fought to the death. He condensed a ball of black energy in his hand and bombarded it towards Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't dodge or evade, waving his sword in his hand. A sharp sword energy slashed forward, destroying the energy ball. Seeing this, Heifeng's eyes flashed with despair. He knew that he was doomed today.

"Die!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted, and the long sword in his hand turned into a red lightning, piercing Heifeng's chest. Heifeng was unable to resist and could only watch as the sword tip pierced his body.

"Ah..." Heifeng let out a scream and fell to the ground weakly, his eyes filled with unwillingness and despair.

As Heifeng fell, the poisonous fog surrounding them gradually dissipated. Guard Zhou and the town guards arrived, and seeing that Heifeng had been killed, they all smiled with joy.

"Brother Xiaoyao, thanks to you this time!" Guard Zhou said gratefully.

Ren Xiaoyao waved his hand, signaling that it was no need to be polite. He walked over to Heifeng's body, picked up the black bead he had crushed, and examined it carefully, discovering that it was actually a space magic weapon that stored spiritual tools.

"This Heifeng does have some wealth." Ren Xiaoyao thought to himself and put away the space magic weapon.

Later, Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin, led by Guard Zhou, entered the depths of the ruins. After some exploration, they finally found the core area of the ruins, where they discovered an ancient altar, on which was placed a long sword emitting a powerful aura.

"Is this the ultimate treasure of this relic?" Xia Lin looked at the sword on the altar, her eyes full of surprise and curiosity.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded, walked to the altar, reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword. A powerful force instantly surged into his body, making him unable to help but let out a muffled groan.

"What a powerful force!" Ren Xiaoyao exclaimed in his heart. This long sword is definitely a powerful artifact.

At this moment, the altar suddenly shone brightly, and a pillar of light shot up into the sky, enveloping Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin...

"This is……"

The dazzling light gradually faded, and Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin reappeared on the altar. The longswords in their hands emitted a soft halo, as if responding to their victory. The two glanced at each other, each seeing the joy and exhaustion in the other's eyes.

As they exited the ruins, the warm sunlight bathed them, dispelling the chill within. Guard Zhou, who had been waiting for them for a long time, beamed with joy upon seeing them safely return. "Brother Xiaoyao, Miss Xia Lin, you're finally out! That's great!"

The news spread like wildfire throughout the town, and residents poured into the streets to welcome their hero. Cheers, applause, and well wishes echoed endlessly. Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin were swept up in the warm atmosphere, and smiles spread across their faces. They walked side by side among the crowd, feeling this hard-earned honor.

Back in the town center, Elder Sun was already waiting there. Seeing them return safely and with the artifact, a gratified smile spread across his face. "Good! Good! Good!" he gushed. "You truly lived up to everyone's expectations, successfully defeating the evil and safeguarding the peace of the town!"

Elder Sun gestured for them to sit down, then slowly spoke, "Children, do you know? This world is not simple. It is far more vast and mysterious than you imagine."

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin exchanged a glance, each seeing confusion in the other's eyes. Elder Sun paused, then continued, "This world is actually a giant game world. We are all characters in the game, and you are players from another world."

This news was like a bombshell, sending shockwaves through Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin's hearts. They had always thought this was just an ordinary alien world, but they had never imagined it was actually a game world!

"Then how do we get back?" Xia Lin couldn't help but ask.

Elder Sun shook his head. "I don't know. Perhaps, only by finding the ultimate secret of this game can we find the way back."

He looked at the long sword in Ren Xiaoyao's hand, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes: "This artifact is a symbol of the power of this world, and it is also the key to unlocking all secrets."

Ren Xiaoyao gripped the sword tightly in his hand. He knew that their adventure had just begun...

"Elder, this divine weapon..."

"Elder, this artifact..." Ren Xiaoyao hesitated as he looked at the sword in his hand, his eyes filled with awe and confusion. "Its power is so great, can we really control it?"

Xia Lin also nodded and agreed, "Yes, Elder, this is a treasure that concerns the safety of the entire town. We can't make a hasty decision."

Elder Sun stroked his long beard, his eyes gleaming with wisdom. "Little Xiaoyao, Miss Xia Lin, I understand your intentions. Although this artifact is extremely powerful, it also needs a suitable owner to unleash its true strength."

He paused, pointing to the longsword in Ren Xiaoyao's hand, "This 'Guardian Light' has protected this land since ancient times. It chose you, recognizing your courage and determination."

"But..." Ren Xiaoyao wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Elder Sun with a wave of his hand.

"Children, I know what you are worried about. But evil will not retreat because of our fear. Only by becoming stronger can we protect ourselves and everything we cherish!" Elder Sun said in a firm tone and with a bright look in his eyes.

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin looked at each other, and they saw determination in each other's eyes. Yes, they couldn't live in fear forever. Only by facing it bravely could they find the final answer.

"Elder, we understand!" Ren Xiaoyao nodded solemnly, "We will work hard to become stronger and protect this land!"

"Good!" Elder Sun smiled with relief. "I believe in you! This 'Guardian Light' contains great power. It can be used to strengthen the town's defenses and resist foreign invasion."

So, under Elder Sun's guidance, Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin injected the power of "Guardian Light" into the town's defensive formation. Suddenly, the entire town was ablaze with light, and ancient runes flowed across the city walls, emitting a terrifying power.

The town's defenses were enhanced to an unprecedented degree, and the residents cheered. They felt proud and relieved to have such a powerful guardian.

Looking at all this, Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin felt a sense of accomplishment. They knew that this was just the beginning and there would be more challenges waiting for them in the future.

"Xiaoyao, what are your plans next?" Xia Lin looked at Ren Xiaoyao and asked softly.

Ren Xiaoyao gazed into the distance, a determined light flashing in his eyes. "We still have a lot to do, and there are still many unknown areas in this world waiting for us to explore. I think it's time to prepare for the next adventure."

Charlene smiled faintly. She knew that no matter how many storms lay ahead, they would fight side by side and move forward courageously. Because in their hearts, they always held hopes and dreams, as well as their promises to each other.
