Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

The evil wizard's face was gloomy. After letting out a cold snort, his hands moved swiftly and intricately in various gestures, while he chanted incantations in a low and eerie voice, as if he came from the deepest hell.

As he cast his spell, the previously calm air around them seemed to be suddenly gripped tightly by an unseen hand, instantly solidifying. A suffocatingly powerful pressure surged towards Lin Yu and the others like a tidal wave. This pressure was as heavy as a mountain, making it almost impossible for them to breathe.

"Everyone, be careful!" Seeing the critical situation, Lin Yu immediately shouted and unhesitatingly activated the divine artifact in his hand with all his might. In an instant, the artifact emitted a soft yet brilliant light, like the dawn light piercing through the dark clouds, carrying warmth and hope. This light formed a thin shield, which, although seemingly fragile, stubbornly withstood a portion of the terrifying pressure.

Just then, Zhao Ling'er's lithe body swayed, flashing like a ghost to the side of the evil wizard. Her beautiful eyes flashed with malice, and she swung her longsword with fluid, seamless movements. With a soft "whoosh," a sharp, unparalleled sword aura shot out, tearing through the air and hurtling straight towards the evil wizard. Wherever this sword aura passed, the air was ripped apart, emitting a piercing, ear-piercing whistling sound.

However, the evil wizard was clearly no ordinary person; he was already prepared for Zhao Ling'er's attack. With a calm flick of his sleeve, a pitch-black barrier materialized out of thin air, firmly blocking his path. When the sharp sword energy struck the black barrier, it vanished without a trace, like a shooting star falling into an endless abyss, without even a ripple.

Seeing this, Xiao Jinzhi secretly vowed to herself that she could not allow this evil wizard to be so arrogant. She swiftly changed hand seals, chanting incantations. As her incantation rang out, the clouds in the sky began to churn violently. Soon, countless crystal-clear, gleaming ice spikes suddenly appeared in the air, raining down on the evil wizard like a torrential downpour.

Faced with such a fierce attack, the evil wizard's lips curled into a slight, disdainful sneer. Then, he too began chanting a mysterious and ancient incantation. Just as the ice spikes were about to touch his body, a strange thing happened—the originally incredibly hard ice spikes melted as if encountering high temperatures, turning into puddles of clear water that fell to the ground without any power, splashing up droplets.

Seeing this, Li Meng, who was watching from the sidelines, became extremely anxious. His eyes widened in fury, and he let out a deafening roar. He then raised his heavy, massive axe high and swung it down with all his might at the evil wizard. However, the evil wizard seemed to have anticipated this; he easily dodged Li Meng's thunderous blow by simply shifting his body to the side. With a loud "bang," Li Meng's axe struck the ground, raising a cloud of dust that partially obscured the surrounding view.

At the same time, the long whip in Qingli's hand danced wildly in the air like an extremely agile venomous snake, constantly stretching, contracting, and twisting, attempting to entangle the evil wizard. However, the wizard's movements were far too nimble and agile. Every time the whip was about to touch him, he could easily dodge it with extremely skillful movements, causing Qingli's efforts to repeatedly fail.

Lin Yu, who had been desperately fending off the evil wizard's attacks, was now deeply frowning, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. He knew that if things continued this way, they would eventually succumb to exhaustion. They needed to devise a new strategy as soon as possible! So, while struggling to parry the evil wizard's relentless onslaught, he racked his brains for a way to defeat him…

Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind, and he shouted to his companions, "Listen to my command, let's attack together! Ling'er, use your sword energy to distract him; Xiao Jinzhi, prepare your strongest spell; Li Meng, find an opportunity to get close to him; Qingli, use your whip to distract him. I'll find his weakness and deliver the fatal blow with my divine weapon!"

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately acted according to Lin Yu's instructions. Zhao Ling'er brandished her longsword, unleashing dazzling sword energy that continuously attacked the evil wizard, forcing him to divert his attention. Xiao Jinzhi began to gather her strength, preparing to unleash her most powerful spell. Li Meng stared intently at the evil wizard's every move, searching for the right opportunity to approach. Qing Li's long whip lashed out repeatedly in the air, making a "crackling" sound, distracting the evil wizard from concentrating.

Lin Yu stared intently at the evil wizard, and suddenly noticed that the wizard paused for a moment while dodging Ling'er's sword energy.

"Now!" Lin Yu shouted, the divine weapon in his hand shining brightly. He poured all his power into the weapon and hurled it at the evil wizard. The weapon, carrying dazzling light and boundless power, shot towards the evil wizard like a bolt of lightning.

Upon seeing this, the evil wizard's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly cast another spell, trying to block the artifact's attack. However, the artifact's power was far too great for him to easily withstand. With a loud bang, the artifact broke through his defenses and struck his body.

The evil wizard let out a scream, his body thrown back several feet, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He struggled to stand up, but found his strength rapidly draining away.

"Haha, you've finally been defeated by us!" Lin Yu and the others cheered as they looked at the injured evil wizard.

However, just when they thought victory was in sight, the evil wizard suddenly let out a strange laugh.

"You think you can defeat me like this? How naive!" With that, a powerful black mist suddenly erupted from his body, enveloping him completely.

Lin Yu and the others were startled, wondering what trick this evil wizard was up to now. The black mist grew thicker and thicker, spreading rapidly until it enveloped them completely.

"Something's wrong with this fog!" Lin Yu sensed a powerful, evil force spreading through the fog and hurriedly warned his companions to be careful.

Everyone became alert, casting spells and using their skills to try and resist this evil force. But the mist seemed to penetrate everywhere, and their power was gradually weakened within it.

Just then, the evil wizard's voice came from within the mist: "Hahaha, you can struggle in this mist all you want, slowly being corrupted by my evil power and becoming my puppets!"

Lin Yu and the others felt a sense of foreboding, but they did not give up the fight. They huddled together, supporting each other, and fought against this powerful evil force.

As time passed, the evil force within the fog grew stronger, making Lin Yu and the others' resistance increasingly difficult. Their strength gradually waned, and their consciousness began to fade.

"Are we really going to fail?" A flicker of despair crossed Lin Yu's mind, but he quickly rallied. "No, we can't give up like this!"

He tried desperately to concentrate, attempting to unleash the artifact's power once more, but his spiritual energy was nearly depleted...
