I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Lei Yi felt a strange sensation under his feet. He looked down and his expression suddenly changed. "Liuli, be careful!"

Under his feet was a stone slab engraved with intricate patterns, slightly different from the surrounding stones. Just as Dongfang Liuli was puzzled, Lei Yi suddenly pulled her forward and used the force to leap backward.

"Boom!"

The seemingly ordinary stone slab sank in an instant, revealing a pitch-black deep pit. Accompanied by the sound of a mechanism turning, several sharp arrows shot out from the pit, with the sound of breaking through the air, flying towards the place where Dongfang Liuli originally stood.

"That was a close call!" Dongfang Liuli, still in shock, felt a chill run down her spine as she gazed at the bottomless trap and the gleaming arrows. If Lei Yi hadn't reacted quickly, she would have died right there and then.

"This maze is full of traps and mechanisms. We must be extremely alert, otherwise we won't know how we died." Lei Yi's face was solemn. The trap just now was just the beginning. No one knew what dangers they would encounter next.

"Okay, I understand." Dongfang Liuli took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in her heart, and followed Lei Yi closely.

The two continued to move forward. The maze's passages were intricate and complex, like a huge maze where one could easily get lost if they weren't careful. Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli deciphered the traps in the maze while searching for an exit.

"It seems that someone has trapped us here on purpose." Lei Yi observed the surrounding environment and thought to himself.

"You mean..." Dongfang Liuli seemed to have thought of something and his expression changed slightly.

"That's right, besides us, there are other people who have entered this underground maze." Lei Yi's tone was cold. He had already guessed who was manipulating all this behind the scenes.

"Is it the Xuanyuan clan leader?"

"Who else could it be besides him?" Lei Yi sneered, "He must have discovered our whereabouts before we entered the stone chamber, so he deliberately set up this trap to catch us all in one fell swoop."

At this moment, a chaotic sound of footsteps came from the front, accompanied by the sound of weapons clashing. It was obvious that someone was fighting.

"Let's go and take a look." Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli looked at each other, walked lightly, and groped towards the direction where the sound came from.

After turning a corner, they saw a group of warriors in black clothes and holding sharp blades surrounding several people, with swords flashing and murderous intent in the air.

"They are from the Xuanyuan family!" Dongfang Liuli recognized the identities of those black-clothed warriors at a glance.

"It seems that our guess was correct." Lei Yi's eyes flashed. He could already feel a powerful aura approaching rapidly.

"Lei Yi, you finally showed up!" A cold voice echoed in the maze. The Xuanyuan clan leader, wearing a purple robe and with a sneer on his face, slowly walked out of the crowd.

The Xuanyuan clan leader's appearance brought with him a powerful sense of oppression. Lei Yi's heart sank, knowing that today would not end peacefully. He was about to speak when he felt the ground shake slightly, as if something heavy was approaching.

"Be careful!" Lei Yi shouted, pulling Dongfang Liuli to the side.

Almost at the same time, a huge stone pillar suddenly shot out from the ground where they were standing, accompanied by a whistling sound. If they were hit by it, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Want to escape?" Patriarch Xuanyuan sneered and quickly formed seals with his hands. Suddenly, a strong wind blew in the maze, with flying sand and rocks making it difficult to tell the direction.

"Liuli!" Lei Yi shouted, but found that Dongfang Liuli had been separated by the wind and sand. He was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.

Dongfang Liuli was blinded by the wind and sand. When she came to her senses, she found herself forced into a dead end, and in front of her were three Xuanyuan family warriors holding sharp blades.

"Miss Dongfang, just surrender obediently and avoid physical pain!" one of the warriors said with a grin.

Dongfang Liuli smiled coldly, showing no fear at all: "With you, are you worthy?"

After saying that, she quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. Ice cones appeared out of thin air and shot towards the three warriors.

The three warriors obviously didn't expect that Dongfang Liuli had such a method. They were caught off guard and tried to resist in a hurry.

However, Dongfang Liuli's magic attack was only to delay time. Her real killer move was the talisman hidden in the dark.

She took advantage of the gap when the three warriors were resisting the ice cones and quickly threw out a few talismans from her sleeves and stuck them on the wall.

"burst!"

With a light shout from Dongfang Liuli, the talismans instantly burst out with dazzling light, and a powerful shock wave swept across, knocking the three warriors away. They fell heavily to the ground, spitting blood, and were obviously seriously injured.

However, before Dongfang Liuli could breathe a sigh of relief, he felt a chill coming from behind.

She turned around suddenly, only to see a sharp sword pressed against her neck. The cold touch made her tremble all over.

"Do you think you can escape like this?" A low voice sounded in my ears, with a hint of teasing and ridicule.

Dongfang Liuli's heart sank. She slowly raised her head and saw the person behind her, who was none other than the Xuanyuan clan leader.

"How long do you think you can trap me?" Patriarch Xuanyuan looked at Dongfang Liuli, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Dongfang Liuli didn't say anything, but just looked at him coldly, thinking of a countermeasure quickly in her mind.

"I advise you not to waste your energy. Just come back with me obediently, and maybe I can spare your life." As the Xuanyuan clan leader said this, the long sword in his hand moved closer.

Dongfang Liuli felt the pain on her neck, but she was not afraid at all. She just smiled coldly: "Don't even think about it!"

A trace of anger flashed in the eyes of the Xuanyuan clan leader. Just as he was about to explode, his expression suddenly changed and he turned his head abruptly to look into the depths of the maze.

"What's going on?" He felt a powerful force approaching quickly.

"Not good!" The Xuanyuan clan leader's face changed drastically, "Retreat quickly!"

He grabbed Dongfang Liuli and turned away.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" A cold voice sounded in the maze.

At the same time, rays of light suddenly lit up in the maze. These lights connected to each other to form a complex pattern, and the center of the pattern was exactly where Lei Yi was.

He looked at the light in front of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said to himself: "So that's how it is..."

Lei Yi stared at the flickering lights on the ground, and a sudden flash of inspiration struck him. These seemingly chaotic lights seemed to vaguely correspond to the route they had taken previously. Could this be the key to solving the maze?

He closed his eyes and carefully recalled every step he had taken, as well as the changes in light that occurred with each step. Gradually, a clear roadmap emerged in his mind.

"So that's how it is. The mechanism of this maze is set up according to the directions of the Eight Trigrams. As long as you step on these light spots in a specific order, you can solve the maze!" Lei Yi was ecstatic. He opened his eyes and walked towards Dongfang Liuli step by step according to the route map in his mind.

Meanwhile, Dongfang Liuli was locked in a bitter battle. The Xuanyuan clan leader was formidable, his attacks deadly, and despite Dongfang Liuli's desperate resistance, she was still in danger.

With a loud "bang", Dongfang Liuli was knocked away by a palm from the Xuanyuan clan leader, and hit the wall heavily, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

"Liuli!" Lei Yi saw this scene from afar and became extremely anxious. He walked faster and faster, wishing he could fly to Dongfang Liuli immediately.

"Cough cough..." Dongfang Liuli struggled to stand up, but she felt as if all the bones in her body were broken, and the severe pain made it difficult for her to move.

"You can't escape!" The Xuanyuan clan leader approached step by step, murderous intent in his eyes, "Just surrender obediently, and I can kill you!"

Dongfang Liuli wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, endured the severe pain in his body, and looked at the Xuanyuan clan leader coldly: "If you want my life, it depends on whether you have the ability to do it!"

After saying that, she formed seals with her hands again, ready to fight to the death.

"You are overestimating yourself!" Chief Xuanyuan sneered, and suddenly a golden sword appeared in his hand. The sword emitted a sharp cold light, and it was obvious at a glance that it was not an ordinary item.

"Go to hell!" Chief Xuanyuan raised his sword high and chopped it down at Dongfang Liuli's head.

Dongfang Liuli closed her eyes in despair, waiting for death to come.

"clang!"

A crisp metallic collision sounded, but the sharp pain Dongfang Liuli had expected didn't come. She opened her eyes and saw a tall figure standing in front of her. A longsword in his hand clashed fiercely with the Xuanyuan clan leader's golden longsword, sparks flying everywhere.

"Lei Yi!" Dongfang Liuli was surprised and delighted, and a glimmer of hope ignited in her heart.

Lei Yi did not say anything, but just held the sword tightly in his hand, looking firmly at the fierce attack of the Xuanyuan clan leader.

"You're finally here!" A hint of surprise flashed in the Xuanyuan clan leader's eyes, and then he sneered, "But do you think you can change anything just by yourself?"

Lei Yi took a deep breath, ignoring the Xuanyuan clan leader's ridicule. He simply circulated his inner Qi to its utmost, and the long sword in his hand burst into a dazzling light...

Lei Yi's sword flashed like a streak of silk, colliding with the Xuanyuan clan leader's golden sword with a deafening roar. The two powerful forces collided, stirring up a gust of wind that swept up the surrounding dust, forming a small tornado.

"You don't know your own limitations!" A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the Xuanyuan clan leader. The golden sword in his hand shone brightly, and a sharp sword energy went straight to Lei Yi's face.

Lei Yi didn't dare to take the blow head-on, instead dodging sideways. The sword energy grazed his cheek, leaving a faint trace of blood. He was secretly shocked. The Xuanyuan clan leader's strength was indeed not to be underestimated.

"Lei Yi, be careful of his sword energy, it contains powerful golden power!" Dongfang Liuli reminded, while enduring the severe pain in his body, concentrating his true energy, and preparing to join the battle again.

Lei Yi nodded. He knew Dongfang Liuli was at the end of her strength and needed a quick victory. He took a deep breath and pushed the Qi in her body to its limit. The longsword in his hand hummed, and arcs of electricity surrounded the blade, flashing with dazzling light.

"Thunder Sword Technique!" Lei Yi shouted softly, and the long sword in his hand turned into lightning and attacked the Xuanyuan clan leader.

The Xuanyuan clan leader's expression changed slightly, clearly having not expected Lei Yi to possess such a formidable strength. He didn't dare to delay and quickly brandished his golden sword to block the attack.

For a moment, swords clashed, and the sound of metal clashing rang out incessantly. Lei Yi's lightning sword technique was incredibly swift and unpredictable, leaving the Xuanyuan clan leader struggling to cope. Dongfang Liuli seized the opportunity to assist in the attack, occasionally unleashing fierce palm winds to disrupt the Xuanyuan clan leader's movements.

After dozens of rounds of fierce fighting between the three, the Xuanyuan clan leader gradually felt overwhelmed. He had originally thought that he could easily defeat Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli, but he had not expected that the two of them together would be so formidable.

"Damn it!" Chief Xuanyuan roared, and the golden sword in his hand shone brightly. A huge golden sword energy swept out, forcing Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli back several steps.

"We can't delay this any longer!" Lei Yi thought to himself. He glanced at Dongfang Liuli and found that she was pale and her breathing was disordered. It was obvious that she had reached her limit.

"Liuli, can you still hold on?" Lei Yi asked in a low voice.

Dongfang Liuli gritted her teeth and nodded: "We can hold on for a while, we must find the exit of the maze as soon as possible!"

Lei Yi's eyes were determined. He knew now was not the time to hesitate. He took a deep breath, and the sword in his hand burst into a dazzling light again.

"Liuli, are you ready?" Lei Yi said in a deep voice.

Dongfang Liuli nodded, a hint of determination flashing in her eyes.

"Alright, then let's break through this maze together!" Lei Yi had just finished speaking when he swung his sword. A brilliant sword light pierced through the darkness and headed straight into the depths of the maze...

"Wait!" A low voice suddenly sounded, echoing in the maze.
