Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 212 Struggle and Hope in Despair

Inside the stone gate, the atmosphere was so tense that it was suffocating.

Li Zhao and his companions were surrounded and faced with enemies that were surging like a tide. They had no intention of retreating and resolutely threw themselves into this life-and-death battle.

Li Zhao was holding an extremely sharp sword, the sword body flashing with cold light, like lightning cutting through the night sky.

He swung his sword with all his might, each strike containing a tremendous force. When it collided violently with the enemy's weapon, dazzling sparks instantly burst out, illuminating the dark space.

Li Zhao's face was tense and full of determination. He knew in his heart that today's battle was a matter of life and death, and he could not afford to slack off.

He used all his strength every time he swung his sword, and the sharp sword energy seemed to tear apart all the enemies in front of him.

There were simply too many enemies, wave after wave, constantly rushing towards them. Gradually, Li Zhao began to feel overwhelmed.

Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess huddled together, back to back, taking care of each other.

Su Mengyao's beautiful eyes revealed an unwavering tenacity at this moment. She held a short and sharp dagger tightly in her hand, dancing quickly in the darkness, drawing out cold rays of light.

Although the enemy's attack was extremely fierce and she was a little overwhelmed, she gritted her teeth and tried her best to resist the enemy's attacks again and again.

The Crown Princess appeared exceptionally calm and composed. She keenly observed the actions of the enemies around her, constantly looking for their weaknesses, trying to buy a moment of respite for herself and her companions.

Whenever she finds an enemy's weakness, she will counterattack without hesitation and deal a fatal blow to the enemy.

The mysterious man was seriously injured, and blood was oozing from the wounds on his body, staining his originally black clothes red.

He still stood stubbornly on the battlefield and continued to fight the enemy.

His moves were strange and brutal, making them unpredictable. Many enemies fell to the ground and died under his attacks.

However, due to his severe injuries, as time passed, his movements became slower and slower, and his body became increasingly shaky.

Just when everyone felt that their strength was about to be exhausted and it was difficult to continue, a deafening laugh suddenly came from the originally silent passage:

"Hahahahahaha...you bunch of presumptuous guys, do you really think you can escape from here?"

Hearing this sudden laughter, everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

At the end of the passage, a middle-aged man with a burly figure like an iron tower was walking slowly with steady and powerful steps.

Behind him, a group of men in black clothes with stern faces followed closely. These men in black exuded a chilling aura, as if they were messengers from hell.

When the mysterious man saw the face of the middle-aged man clearly, his face turned pale in an instant, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.

His lips trembled as he spoke, "It's you! I never thought you would come out in person."

The middle-aged man smiled coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and said: "Humph, you traitor, how dare you betray our organization.

Today is your end! " Before he finished speaking, he flashed and rushed towards the mysterious man like a flash of lightning.

Faced with the middle-aged man's fierce attack, the mysterious man did not dare to be negligent at all and hurriedly used all his strength to resist.

Although the mysterious man had tried his best, the middle-aged man's martial arts was too powerful, and every move and style contained infinite power.

As time went on, the mysterious man's disadvantages became more and more obvious, and he gradually began to feel powerless.

Li Zhao, who was standing nearby, was extremely anxious when he saw this. He knew that if he didn't help, the mysterious man would probably die soon.

So he shouted loudly, holding a sword and ready to rush forward to help the mysterious man fight against the powerful enemy.

But before he could take a few steps, the group of men in black surrounded him quickly like ghosts and trapped him in the middle.

These men in black were extremely agile and worked in perfect harmony, making it impossible for Li Zhao to break through their defenses to support the mysterious man.

The situation becomes increasingly critical, as if every second could mean life or death.

The mysterious man was seriously injured, and the new wounds were hideous. Blood kept gushing out, quickly dyeing the ground beneath his feet red like a broken dam.

He knew very well in his heart that there was no way to escape today.

At this critical moment, he made an astonishing move—he suddenly turned around, and using every last bit of his strength, he pushed Li Zhao and the others deeper into the stone gate, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Hurry up! You must find the ancient book. It holds the key to solving this dilemma!"

Before he finished speaking, he turned around without hesitation and faced the vicious enemy again.

He was like a trapped beast, bursting out with amazing strength and fighting a final desperate battle with the enemy.

In an instant, swords flashed and shone, and shouts of killing resounded throughout the space. Finally, with a loud bang, the mysterious man and his enemies were reduced to ashes, successfully blocking the enemy's pursuit with his own life.

Li Zhao and the others were heartbroken when they saw this scene, and their grief was beyond words. However, they knew that this was not the time to be sad, and the best way to comfort the mysterious man was to fulfill his last wish as soon as possible.

They held back their tears, gritted their teeth, and resolutely continued to move forward into the depths of the stone gate.

After entering the secret room, a strong, pungent, disgusting stench hit me in the face.

Everyone couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses and explore forward cautiously.

The secret room was dimly lit, and was filled with all sorts of strange instruments and tall bookshelves.

Those instruments looked very old and emitted a strange light; the bookshelves were piled with heavy books, and they wondered whether the ancient books they had been searching for were hidden among them.

Li Zhao and others, filled with anxiety and anticipation, began to search carefully on the bookshelf.

Every time a yellowed page was gently turned, a cloud of dust would be raised, making them cough repeatedly. Time passed by minute by minute, but they still could not find the crucial ancient book...

After a long and arduous search, Su Mengyao was pleasantly surprised to find an ancient book that was slightly worn by time in a dimly lit corner covered with cobwebs and dust.

It lay there quietly, as if it had been sleeping for a long time, exuding an intoxicating and old smell.

Su Mengyao couldn't contain her excitement and shouted loudly: "Found it! I found it!"

The shout was like lightning that cut through the night sky, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around.

Everyone gathered around and surrounded the ancient book tightly, with anticipation glittering in their eyes and their hearts filled with desire for the unknown secret to be revealed.

As they carefully opened the ancient books, the excitement on their faces gradually froze.

There were only some obscure words densely arranged on the pages, twisted and entangled together like a bunch of smart snakes, which made people confused.

These characters are exactly the same as those engraved on the jade pendant discovered before, and are obviously the same ancient and mysterious language.

Faced with this incomprehensible mystery, everyone fell into deep thought.

They frowned, racking their brains to figure out how to decipher these inscrutable words. Time passed by, but progress remained slow.

At this moment, without any warning, the walls of the secret room suddenly shook violently.

This sudden change frightened everyone. They looked around anxiously and saw that the originally extremely solid wall was now beginning to show hideous cracks.

The cracks spread rapidly, like the gaping bloody mouth of a devil, as if something horrible would burst out from the wall at any moment.

Seeing this, Li Zhao gripped the sword in his hand without hesitation. His whole body was tense, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle, and he watched the movements around him vigilantly.

He shouted in a low voice: "Everyone be careful, it seems that a new danger is about to come."

Before he finished speaking, there was a loud bang, and the wall collapsed. Amidst the flying dust, a huge and blurry figure slowly emerged...

As the vibrations grew stronger, the wall finally collapsed, and a group of strange monsters rushed in.

These monsters exuded a foul stench, their eyes flashed with a strange red light, and they pounced on the crowd with their fangs and claws bared.

Li Zhao and others quickly got into fighting posture, ready to meet the new challenge.

At this moment, they not only have to face these terrible monsters, but also have to find a way to decipher ancient books and crack the "final plan."

The mysterious man's sacrifice, the secret of the ancient book and the upcoming battle have put their fate into a desperate situation again.

How to find a way out amidst these crises has become the biggest challenge facing them.

This adventure, which concerns the fate of the world, seems to have fallen into an inescapable impasse. Whether they can find a way to break it remains unknown...
