I walk sideways in the game world

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin immediately became alert, gripping their weapons tightly. Lady Lin and Sect Leader Ouyang, one a renowned female warrior and the other the head of a prestigious and upright sect, how could they suddenly appear in this desolate wilderness and attack them?

"What do you two mean by this? Do you want to kill us like those men in black?" Ren Xiaoyao said coldly, with a hint of questioning in his tone.

"Young Master Ren, you've misunderstood," Sect Leader Ouyang stepped forward and bowed, "We also heard that you two were ambushed here, so we came here specifically to help."

"Help?" Xia Lin sneered. "Those two arrows just now weren't a friendly greeting, were they?"

"To be honest, we just wanted to test your strengths." Lady Lin said calmly, but a hint of admiration flashed in her eyes. "It seems that the rumors are true. Young Master Ren is indeed a martial arts prodigy rarely seen in a century."

Ren Xiaoyao's doubts grew even more intense, but now was clearly not the time to pursue the matter. He asked in a deep voice, "Since you two know those men in black, could you please tell us their identities?"

"It's a long story," Sect Leader Ouyang sighed. "Those men in black are from a mysterious organization with such immense power that even we can't fully fathom their true identity. This time, they want the iron box in your hand, probably for some ulterior motive."

"Master Ouyang is right," Lady Lin took over the conversation. "Now, our only option is to work together to fight this mysterious organization and protect the safety of the iron box."

Ren Xiaoyao and Xia Lin exchanged a glance, both understanding the current situation. The enemy was incredibly powerful, and they alone were no match for it. Rather than sit back and wait for death, they should unite all possible forces to fight this formidable foe.

"Okay, I agree to cooperate with you!" Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were firm, and his tone was full of determination.

"In this case, let's not delay any further and head to a safe place to discuss the matter." said Master Ouyang.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something and took out an ancient book from his pocket. On the cover were four large characters:

"Heaven-shaking Sword Technique".

"This secret book..." He took a deep breath, "Maybe it can help us!"

Ren Xiaoyao raised the "Shocking Sword Technique" in his hand high, glanced at the crowd, and said in a deep voice: "This is a martial arts secret book that I accidentally found. It records a powerful sword formation. If we can refine it, it will greatly enhance our strength and fight against that mysterious organization!"

Upon hearing this, both Sect Leader Ouyang and Lady Lin's eyes gleamed. As martial artists themselves, they naturally understood the value of a superior martial arts manual. Furthermore, facing such a formidable foe, any opportunity to improve their strength was invaluable.

"Young Master Ren, are you serious?" Sect Leader Ouyang asked anxiously, unable to contain his excitement.

Ren Xiaoyao nodded solemnly: "It is absolutely true! However, this sword formation is extremely difficult to practice. It requires everyone's concerted efforts to unleash its maximum power."

"We are willing to obey your orders!" Master Ouyang and Lady Lin agreed without hesitation. They were both well-known figures in the martial arts world, so they were naturally not afraid of death, and they would not shirk their responsibilities at this time.

In the days that followed, Ren Xiaoyao led everyone in diligently practicing the sword formation from the "Shocking Heaven Sword Technique" day and night. This sword formation, called the "Seven Stars Breaking Army Formation," required seven people to form the formation, each performing their own duties. They circulated their true energy in the manner of the Big Dipper, combining both offense and defense with immense power.

Ren Xiaoyao, relying on his understanding of the game and his comprehension of martial arts, quickly grasped the essence of the sword formation and passed it on to the others. Both Sect Leader Ouyang and Lady Lin were martial arts prodigies, so their learning speed was naturally rapid. Even Xia Lin, under Ren Xiaoyao's careful guidance, gradually mastered the variations of the sword formation.

However, just as everyone's cultivation was getting better, an invisible crisis quietly approached.

"Report——"

A disciple rushed in in a panic, fell to his knees, and breathlessly said, "Reporting to the master, a large number of men in black have been spotted outside the mountain gate, and they are approaching us!"

Sect Leader Ouyang's expression suddenly changed. He stood up abruptly and said in a deep voice, "It seems our whereabouts have been exposed! They are trying to catch us all in one fell swoop before we can complete our sword formation!"

"What should we do?" Charlene asked anxiously. "What should we do now?"

A cold glint flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, and he said in a deep voice, "Since they want to play, then have some fun with them! Pass the order down, everyone prepare for battle, and fight them to the death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, deafening shouts of killing came from outside the mountain gate, foreshadowing the beginning of a great battle...

The deafening cries of killing were like a basin of icy cold water, instantly extinguishing everyone's enthusiasm for sword formation training. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes gleamed with a gleam of brilliance, not a trace of panic, but rather a hint of bloodthirsty excitement. He waved his hand and shouted in a deep voice, "Everyone, follow me to meet the enemy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out like an arrow, followed by the determined Ouyang Sect Leader, Lady Lin, and other knights who shared the same hatred for the enemy. Xia Lin followed closely behind, her longsword unsheathed, her eyes gleaming with determination.

Outside the mountain gate, a sea of black-clad men surged in like a tide, each wielding a sharp blade and brimming with murderous intent. A battle was imminent, the flashes of swords and sabers intertwining into a web of death, while screams and the clash of weapons echoed throughout the valley.

Ren Xiaoyao, sword in hand, weaved through the crowd with ghostly agility, each strike taking a life. He seemed the god of death, leaving behind widespread grief wherever he went. Sect Leader Ouyang and Lady Lin, both considered the world's foremost masters, each led a team, unleashing the full might of their "Shocking Sword Technique" with unstoppable force.

"Seven Star Army-Breaking Formation!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted loudly, and quickly changed the formation with Sect Leader Ouyang and others. The seven of them connected their true energy together with the power of the Big Dipper, forming a huge energy vortex.

"Kill!" Seven people roared in unison, and the sword formation instantly activated. Powerful sword energy swept out like a violent storm, engulfing all the surrounding black-clad men. For a moment, screams were heard everywhere, and the black-clad men's offensive was stagnant.

"Good opportunity, take advantage of it now!" Ren Xiaoyao seized the opportunity and led everyone to fight back, killing the men in black and forcing them to retreat step by step. The balance of victory seemed to be tilting towards them.

However, at this moment, a suffocating feeling of oppression came from a distance...

"Hmph, a bunch of ants, how dare you act so presumptuously in front of me!" With a cold snort filled with disdain, a figure in a black robe, his face hidden in the shadows, slowly approached...

"Oh no, it's the leader of the Demon Cult!" Sect Leader Ouyang's face changed drastically, and his tone was full of fear.

The black-robed figure slowly walked in front of the crowd. An invisible pressure like a mountain pressed down on everyone's heart, making it difficult to breathe. He just stood there quietly, but gave people an irresistible sense of oppression.

"Just because you are trash, you think you can become my enemy?" The black-robed man said in a cold tone, full of disdain and ridicule.

"Demon Cult Leader, stop being so arrogant!" Ren Xiaoyao shouted angrily, pointing his sword at the black-robed man. "Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven and eliminate this scourge of yours!"

"You don't know your own limitations!" The man in black robe snorted coldly, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Ren Xiaoyao in an instant. His five fingers formed into claws and went straight for Ren Xiaoyao's throat.

Ren Xiaoyao's pupils suddenly shrank as he felt an overwhelming force coming at him, which he could not resist at all. He subconsciously raised his sword to block, but heard a "crack" and the long sword in his hand broke.

The black-robed man succeeded in his attack, but he didn't stop there. Instead, he continued to pursue, each move ruthless and leaving no room for maneuver. Ren Xiaoyao was defeated step by step, with multiple injuries on his body, and his clothes were stained red with blood.

"Xiaoyao!" Seeing this, Xia Lin shouted anxiously and wanted to go forward to help, but she was frightened by the pressure released by the man in black robe and could not move.

Sect Leader Ouyang, Lady Lin and others also wanted to help, but they were entangled by the black-robed man's men and could not escape.

Ren Xiaoyao was cornered by the black-robed man, his heart filled with despair and unwillingness. Was he going to die here?

No, I can't give up!

A flicker of determination flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, and a powerful desire to survive surged from the depths of his heart. Under the threat of death, his potential was fully unleashed, and an unprecedented power surged through him.

"Ah!" Ren Xiaoyao roared angrily, pouring all the true energy in his body into the broken sword, and using all his strength, swung the sword at the man in black robe.

This sword had no pattern at all, yet it contained all of Ren Xiaoyao's will and strength.

The man in black robe didn't seem to expect that Ren Xiaoyao could burst out with such powerful strength in a desperate situation. He was slightly surprised, but didn't care too much.

"A mere trifle!" The man in black robe snorted disdainfully and waved his hand to try to block Ren Xiaoyao's attack.

However, at this moment, a strange energy wave came from Ren Xiaoyao's broken sword...
