From cannon fodder villain to beloved heroine

The dazzling light faded, the dust settled, and Xu Lin'an lay motionless in the deep pit.

His clothes were tattered, revealing shocking wounds from which blood gushed out, staining the ground beneath him.

His face was as pale as paper, his lips were bloodless, and his breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

Yan Ruyu's heart sank suddenly, and a chill instantly spread throughout her body.

She rushed to Xu Lin'an's side, her hand trembling as she reached out to check his breath.

"Lin'an! Lin'an!" Yan Ruyu's voice was choked with sobs, her heart-wrenching cries echoing through the valley.

Xu Lin'an's eyelids trembled slightly as he tried to open his eyes.

He felt as if his body was falling apart, with every bone screaming in pain.

My consciousness began to blur, and everything in front of me became hazy.

But he had a deep-seated conviction, an unwavering belief—he could not fall, he had to keep fighting!

He tried to raise his hand, to grab something, but found that he couldn't even move a single finger.

his

Yan Ruyu felt as if her heart was being torn apart when she saw Xu Lin'an's appearance.

She felt her strength was so small, so powerless.

She longed for Xu Lin'an to recover immediately, for him to stand up again and continue fighting side by side.

However, there was nothing she could do but watch helplessly as he lay there, enduring immense pain.

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't let them fall.

She bit her lip tightly, trying not to make a sound.

Everything around her seemed to dim because of her sorrow; the sky lost its color, and the wind stopped breathing.

Suddenly, Xu Lin'an's fingers twitched slightly...

Yan Ruyu almost thought she was hallucinating. The faint tremor was like the fluttering of a dying butterfly, yet it carried a stubborn strength.

The next moment, something incredible happened.

A ring of golden light burst forth from Xu Lin'an's body, like the rising sun, dispelling the surrounding gloom.

The light grew brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire pit as if it were daytime.

Yan Ruyu instinctively covered her eyes with her hand, her heart filled with shock and confusion.

What kind of power is this?

Within the golden light, Xu Lin'an's body was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The gruesome wounds gradually healed, and the pale complexion slowly regained its rosy hue.

He slowly opened his eyes, which shimmered with golden light, like two dazzling stars.

He took a deep breath and felt an unprecedented power within him, as if he could control everything.

"I'm fine." Xu Lin'an's voice was deep and strong, carrying a hint of relief at surviving a disaster.

He slowly stood up. Although his clothes were tattered, they could not conceal his upright posture and powerful aura.

He was like a war god reborn from the ashes, exuding an invincible majesty.

Yan Ruyu stared blankly at everything that was happening before her eyes, momentarily speechless.

She felt like she was dreaming, yet it felt incredibly real.

She didn't realize what was happening until Xu Lin'an walked up to her and hugged her tightly.

"You must have been terrified," Xu Lin'an's voice was gentle and doting, with a hint of self-reproach.

Yan Ruyu hugged him tightly, feeling the warmth and strength emanating from him, her heart filled with emotion and joy.

She buried her head in his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, as if she had found a place to rely on and belong.

The two embraced tightly, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Everything around them seemed to be infected by their love, becoming more beautiful and warm.

Even the originally dark valley seemed to be illuminated by their light, filled with life and vitality.

"This time, we'll do it together." Xu Lin'an's tone was firm and resolute, his eyes gleaming with an unwavering determination.

Yan Ruyu raised her head and met his gaze. Both of them saw the same determination and belief in each other's eyes.

Suddenly, Xu Lin'an gripped Yan Ruyu's hand tightly, his gaze sharp as he looked into the distance, and said in a deep voice, "They're here..."

Yan Ruyu and Xu Lin'an stood side by side, like gods descending to earth, their imposing presence overwhelming.

One was as agile as the wind, the other as steady as a mountain; their moves were perfectly coordinated, each strike containing earth-shattering power.

With a flick of her slender hand, Yan Ruyu unleashed a sharp sword aura that shot out like a rainbow piercing the sun, while Xu Lin'an followed closely behind, his palm strikes whistling and sweeping in like a tidal wave.

"Holy crap! That's incredible!" The onlookers couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, cheering for their amazing performance.

The mysterious man's once arrogant demeanor had vanished. Now, he was in a sorry state, struggling to stay afloat, fleeing like a stray dog.

He never imagined that he would be driven to such a desperate situation by these two young men.

"Trying to run? No way!" Yan Ruyu sneered, her figure flashed, and she instantly appeared in front of the mysterious man, her long sword flashing coldly, pointing straight at his throat.

The mysterious man was terrified and hurriedly raised his magical weapon to defend himself, but his power was no match for Yan Ruyu.

With a crisp "crack," the magical artifact shattered, and the mysterious man let out a scream as his body flew backward like a kite with a broken string.

The surrounding trees trembled precariously from the impact of the battle's energy, rocks crumbled, and dust billowed, creating a scene as awe-inspiring as if the end of the world had arrived.

"It's over!" Xu Lin'an's voice resounded through the valley like a great bell. He slowly raised his right hand, and a dazzling light gathered in his palm. The light grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into a huge pillar of light that shot straight into the sky.

With a deafening boom, the mysterious man vanished without a trace.

Peace returned to the world, and only the joy of victory filled the air.

Yan Ruyu and Xu Lin'an smiled at each other as they stood side by side on the victory field, enjoying their moment of glory.

They then began to delve deeper into the secrets of the treasure and the scrolls.

The treasure trove was filled with mountains of gold and silver, dazzling the eye, while the ancient scrolls contained boundless wisdom and mysteries.

Just as they were about to uncover a major secret, suddenly, one of the ancient scrolls emitted a dazzling light, enveloping them.

The light was mysterious and unpredictable, as if it contained some unknown power.

"What's going on?" Yan Ruyu and Xu Lin'an exchanged a surprised glance.

Everything around was enveloped in light, becoming hazy and illusory.

They seemed to be in a strange space, where everything around them became unfamiliar and mysterious.

"Hold my hand tightly," Xu Lin'an said in a deep voice, his tone tinged with unease.

Yan Ruyu held his hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his palm, and felt a little more at ease.

Suddenly, the light intensified, so bright that they couldn't open their eyes.

"Ah..." Yan Ruyu exclaimed in surprise...
