I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

A flash of cold light suddenly appeared behind Dongfang Liuli. Lei Yi's pupils suddenly contracted, and without a second thought, he threw Dongfang Liuli to the ground. Almost at the same time, a sharp sword energy whizzed past his back, slicing deeply into the rock wall.

"Be careful!" Hero Hu was shocked when he saw this. He waved his giant axe to force back the enemies around him and rushed into the cave in a few quick steps.

Lei Yi pulled Dongfang Liuli up quickly and looked at the attacker in shock. He saw a man in black clothes with a cold face holding a long sword, slowly walking out of the shadows.

"Under Elder Qin's seat, Shadow Thirteen!" Lei Yi recognized the man instantly, his heart sinking. This man was Elder Qin's shadow assassin, skilled in concealment and a single-strike kill, making him extremely formidable.

"You can't escape!" Ying Shisan said in a cold tone, with murderous intent in his eyes, "Just prepare to die!"

"Killing us won't be that easy!" Hero Hu roared, brandishing his giant axe to block Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli. "You're not worthy enough!"

"You don't know your own limitations!" Ying Shisan sneered, his figure flashed, and he turned into a shadow, attacking towards Hero Hu.

The space inside the cave is small. Although Hero Hu is extremely powerful, he seems a little restrained when facing Ying Shisan's flexible and changeable attacks.

"We can't go on like this, we must find a way to break out!" Lei Yi calmly analyzed the situation in front of him, feeling extremely anxious.

"Break through? Humph, you are surrounded and can't escape even if you have wings!" Ying Shisan said with a sneer while attacking.

"Young Master Lei, what are your plans?" Dongfang Liuli asked in a low voice while dodging the aftermath of the battle.

Lei Yi pondered for a moment and his eyes fell on the depths of the cave, where there was a deep passage that seemed to lead to the interior of the mountain.

"Hero Hu, let's make a feint to the east and attack in the west!" Lei Yi lowered his voice and told His Majesty Hu his plan.

When Hu Daxia heard this, his eyes lit up, "Good idea! Let's do it!"

"A feint to the east and attack in the west?" Dongfang Liuli was a little puzzled.

"Liuli, you're responsible for creating a big commotion in the cave to attract most of Elder Qin's men." Lei Yi turned to look at Dongfang Liuli, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. "Hero Hu and I will..."

His words stopped abruptly, and his gaze fell behind Dongfang Liuli, where Ying Shisan was approaching silently...

"Be careful!" Lei Yi shouted and pushed Dongfang Liuli hard.

Dongfang Liuli was caught off guard and stumbled, nearly falling. Before she could react, a flash of cold light flashed from where she had just stood, embedding itself deeply into the rock wall.

Ying Shisan's attack missed, and a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, but he quickly regained his cold and ruthless expression. He glanced coldly at Lei Yi, then flashed his body and launched another attack.

"Hero Hu, it's now!" Lei Yi shouted and pulled Dongfang Liuli into the depths of the cave.

Hero Hu understood what he meant, roared, swung his giant axe, and launched a fierce attack on Ying Shisan. For a moment, flames splashed in the cave and loud noises were heard. Ying Shisan was forced to retreat again and again by Hero Hu's desperate fighting style.

"Liuli, light the fire!" Lei Yi pulled Dongfang Liuli to the depths of the cave and pointed to a pile of hay on the ground.

Dongfang Liuli did not dare to delay. She took out a fire starter from her bosom, blew it up, and threw it into the haystack.

The haystack was mixed with some special herbs that would burn when exposed to fire and produce a large amount of thick smoke. Soon, the cave was filled with thick smoke, making it almost impossible to open your eyes.

"Cough cough cough..."

"What's going on? Why is there so much smoke?"

"Enemy attack! It must be an enemy attack!"

The enemies outside the cave heard the noise and rushed in, but they were choked by the thick smoke and coughed continuously, unable to see the scene in front of them clearly.

"Good opportunity!" Lei Yi and Hu Daxia looked at each other, took advantage of the cover of thick smoke, crouched down, and quietly slipped out from a hidden cave.

This cave entrance is very hidden. It was discovered by Lei Yi by accident before. It is only wide enough for one person to pass through and is an excellent escape route.

The two men moved forward as they bent over. The cave was narrow and damp, with water drops falling from above their heads from time to time. Lei Yi was anxious, but he did not dare to light a torch, so he could only grope his way forward.

After an unknown amount of time, a ray of light finally appeared in front of him. Lei Yi was delighted and quickened his pace.

"Finally we're out!" Lei Yi and Hu Daxia crawled out of the cave one after another and breathed a long sigh of relief.

At this time, they had already circled to the other side of the valley and were some distance away from the previous cave.

"Mr. Lei, where are we going now?" asked Hero Hu.

Lei Yi looked up at the sky. It was already evening and the sky was getting dark. It was a good time to escape.

"Let's find a place to rest first, tomorrow morning..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard footsteps not far away, accompanied by the sound of weapons clashing, as if someone was fighting.

Lei Yi was startled and exchanged a glance with Hu Daxia. They both stepped lightly and quietly approached...

"who?!"

A cold, stern voice echoed in the darkness, and Lei Yi and Hu Daxia's hearts sank simultaneously. "Who is it?!" The voice echoed again in the darkness, tinged with alarm and murderous intent. Lei Yi and Hu Daxia held their breath, using the faint moonlight to take in the situation before them.

About seven or eight men in black, swords in hand, formed a semicircle, vigilantly observing their surroundings. Among them lay two corpses. Judging by their clothing, they were the men of Elder Qin who had been hunting them.

"Oh no, it's Elder Qin's people!" Lei Yi thought to himself that something was wrong. It seemed that they were discovered after all.

"What should we do? Should we rush out?" Hero Hu asked in a low voice, tightening the giant axe in his hand.

Lei Yi paused for a moment, then shook his head. "No, they're outnumbered. We won't win if we fight head-on. Besides..." He glanced at the wound on Hu Daxia's arm, the one Ying Shisan had inflicted when he was protecting him in the cave. "You're injured too. It's not advisable to fight like this."

Hero Hu followed his gaze and glanced at his own wound, then smiled nonchalantly, "This little injury is nothing, Master Lei, you don't have to worry about me."

"Shh!" Lei Yi made a hushed gesture, his eyes suddenly fixed on a nearby forest. An idea suddenly occurred to him. "Let's go around and attack from behind!"

The two men crouched down and, under the cover of night, quietly moved towards the woods.

"Everyone, get ready! Don't let those two guys get away!" One of the men in black, who looked like a team leader, shouted loudly, his tone tinged with anxiety. They had been searching for most of the day, but still hadn't found any trace of Lei Yi and Hu Daxia, which made him very uneasy.

"Yes!" The other men in black responded in unison, tightened their weapons, and searched the surroundings more vigilantly.

At this moment, a sound of breaking air suddenly came from behind them, followed by several screams. Before the men in black could even react, they were knocked to the ground by the sudden attack.

"Who is it?!" The team leader was horrified and turned around suddenly. He saw two black shadows rushing into the crowd like ghosts, with swords and axes flashing and screams ringing in his ears.

It was Lei Yi and Hero Hu! They seized the opportunity and launched a surprise attack from behind. Hero Hu was a skilled warrior, wielding his massive axe with such ferocity that the men in black were no match for him and were quickly chopped to the ground. While Lei Yi wasn't as skilled as Hero Hu, he was more agile and nimble. He targeted the weakest points of the men in black with his ferocious attacks, dispatching many of them.

"Damn it! Kill them for me!" Seeing that the situation was not good, the team leader roared, waving his sword and attacked Lei Yi.

Lei Yi was prepared, dodging the captain's attack with a sideways palm and slapping him in the chest. The captain groaned, flew backwards, fell to the ground, and spitted blood.

"Mr. Lei, be careful!" At this time, Hero Hu exclaimed. It turned out that the other two men in black saw that the team leader was defeated, so they surrounded him from both sides and wanted to launch a sneak attack on Lei Yi.

Lei Yi was startled and was about to dodge, but he saw that Hero Hu was already waving a huge axe and forcing the two men in black to retreat.

"Thank you, Hero Hu!" Lei Yi looked at Hero Hu gratefully. The two of them stood back to back, looking around vigilantly.

"Retreat!" The team leader knew that it was difficult to win today, so he endured the pain and ordered a retreat.

The remaining few men in black fled in panic, abandoning the bodies of their companions as if they had been pardoned.

"Don't chase a desperate enemy!" Lei Yi stopped the hero Hu who wanted to chase him and said.

"But..." Hero Hu wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Lei Yi, "Our top priority now is to escape from the pursuers, not to fight a lingering battle."

Upon hearing this, Hero Hu had to give up. The two of them did not dare to stay and quickly left this dangerous place, rushing in the opposite direction of the cave.

In the darkness of the night, two figures walked further and further away, disappearing into the vast night...

At this time, the movement from Dongfang Liuli also aroused Elder Qin's suspicion, and he began to send people into the cave to check.

Inside the cave, Dongfang Liuli deliberately made a noise, kicking some rubble off the cliff to create the illusion of someone trying to escape. Sure enough, Elder Qin, who was outside the cave, heard the noise, his face darkened, and he winked at the two disciples beside him.

"Go in and take a look. Be careful."

The two disciples took the order, drew their swords, and walked into the cave cautiously.

The cave was pitch black with only a faint flickering firelight. The two disciples did not dare to be careless. They walked lightly and slowly into the depths of the cave.

"Brother, do you think that kid is really hiding here?" one of the disciples asked in a low voice.

"That shouldn't be the case," another disciple shook his head. "We've searched this cave several times before and haven't found any suspicious traces."

"But..." The disciple wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by his senior brother, "Stop talking. Be careful, there are ears on the other side of the wall. Let's finish the inspection quickly and go back to report."

The two disciples continued to move forward, completely unaware of the danger slowly approaching.

At this time, Lei Yi and Hu Daxia were taking advantage of the cover of night to get behind Elder Qin and the others.

"Mr. Lei, what should we do now?" Hero Hu asked in a low voice, looking at the men in black in the distance.

Lei Yi said nothing, but quietly observed the situation around him, calculating rapidly in his mind. He knew that now was not the time to act, and they had to wait for the best opportunity to break out in one fell swoop.

"Wait," Lei Yi's gaze fell on the two disciples of Elder Qin at the entrance of the cave, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. "We will take action after they go in!"

Hero Hu followed Lei Yi's gaze and immediately understood his intention. He nodded, tightened his grip on the giant axe, and prepared for battle.

Time passed minute by minute, and the two disciples of Elder Qin finally walked into the depths of the cave and disappeared into the darkness.

"Now!" Lei Yi shouted softly and rushed out first. The long sword in his hand turned into a cold light and went straight for the nearest man in black.

"Kill!" Hero Hu also roared, waving a huge axe, and rushed into the crowd like a tiger descending from the mountain.

The sudden attack caught Elder Qin and the others off guard, and their formation was immediately thrown into chaos.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"Protect the elders!"

……

For a moment, shouts, screams, and the clash of weapons merged into one, echoing in the silent valley...

Lei Yi and Hu Daxia were like tigers among a flock of sheep, unstoppable. Wherever they passed, the men in black fell down one after another.

"Damn it! Why are these two people back again?!" Elder Qin was shocked and angry. He never expected that Lei Yi and Hero Hu would come back and choose to launch a surprise attack when they let their guard down.

While directing his men to resist, he anxiously searched the surroundings, trying to find any weaknesses in Lei Yi and Hu Daxia.

However, Lei Yi and Hu Daxia cooperated well, attacking and defending in a measured manner, and did not give Elder Qin any chance at all.

"Mr. Lei, should we rush out now?" Hero Hu knocked down a man in black with an axe and turned to ask.

Lei Yi shook his head, "No, they are not our target."

As he spoke, he looked towards the cave not far away that was flickering with a faint light...
