Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

The figure seemed to have heard the most ridiculous joke in the world, coldly squeezing out a sneer from its nasal cavity: "I am the guardian of this ruin, bearing the heavy responsibility of protecting the treasure. Through the vicissitudes of time, the power of this treasure is as deep as the sea and as violent as thunder. How could you ant-like creatures possibly control it?" The voice was as cold and hard as ice, echoing in the misty ruins, hitting the walls and bouncing back, layer upon layer, becoming increasingly sinister and terrifying, as if to shatter the last remaining courage of the crowd.

Lin Yu stood tall and straight, like a pine tree standing proudly against the frost and snow, unwavering. His eyes burned with a resolute flame, piercing and piercing, as he declared in a clear voice, "But if this power falls into the hands of evil people, it will be like a raging flood, destroying all peace in the world and bringing annihilation. Although our strength is meager, we deeply understand the greater good and must stop it. This is not only for our own safety, but also for the sake of countless lives!" His words were firm and resounding, so powerful that even the mist in the eerie atmosphere seemed to disperse slightly, as if compelled by his righteous spirit.

The guardian's lips curled into a mocking smile as he scoffed, "You? You're delusional. A bunch of rabble, daring to covet such a divine artifact? You're overestimating yourselves!" With that, he vanished in a flash, like a ghost in the night, only to reappear before Lin Yu without warning. Raising his hand, a surge of black energy, like a raging dragon emerging from the sea, accompanied by a howling wind and an aura of crushing destruction, hurtled towards Lin Yu.

Lin Yu had no time to think and hastily drew his sword to block. The moment the sword collided with the black energy, a deafening roar erupted, like metal exploding, sparks flying everywhere. Lin Yu felt an overwhelming force surge through his arm, numbing his tiger's mouth and causing his arm to ache terribly. He was uncontrollably knocked back several steps, his feet carving two deep furrows in the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, Su Yao was frantic with worry. She bit her lower lip so hard that beads of blood appeared. She brandished her staff, the gem at its tip shining brightly, unleashing dazzling, dreamlike beams of magical light. Some transformed into rock-solid shields, instantly appearing before Lin Yu to protect him from further attacks; others became lithe vines, wrapping around his limbs to restrict his movements; still others materialized into sharp ice shards, raining down on him like arrows to obstruct his vision.

The other cultivators of the Mystic Spirits were also filled with fervor, each unleashing their most powerful techniques to attack the guardian. In an instant, colorful magical light intertwined and collided within the mist, fiercely clashing with the black energy emanating from the guardian. The flashing light illuminated the small area shrouded in mist.

The guardian, however, seemed completely at ease, showing no fear whatsoever. Facing the onslaught of attacks from the crowd, he moved with agility, dodging left and right with ease. Every time he raised a hand or turned around, he perfectly neutralized the attacks, and occasionally launched a counterattack, keeping the crowd busy and embroiled in a fierce battle.

"This can't go on. We must find his weakness." The black-robed man's wide robe billowed wildly in the howling wind of battle. His hands, hidden beneath the robe, moved rapidly, forming ever-changing hand seals as he fought, shouting loudly. His voice pierced through the noise, striking directly into everyone's ears and giving them a glimmer of direction amidst the chaos.

Upon hearing this, everyone understood. While continuing their attack, they also focused their attention intently on the guardian's weaknesses. With each attack and dodge, they kept a close eye on the guardian's every move, not missing a single detail.

Finally, in this life-or-death battle, Lin Yu's sharp eyes caught a subtle pattern in the Guardian's movements. He discovered that with each attack, the Guardian would create a brief, almost instantaneous defensive gap on its right side due to the excessive force exerted, like a half-open door, fleeting and ephemeral.

"Everyone, focus your attack on his right side!" Lin Yu shouted hoarsely, as if grasping at a straw. His voice, like the ringing of a bell, echoed throughout the ruins.

Upon hearing this, everyone's spirits lifted, and they all changed their attack direction, pouring all their magic power and weapon power towards the guardian's right side. In an instant, light converged, and the momentum was overwhelming.

The guardian was caught off guard, and his previously impenetrable defenses developed a vulnerability. A look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and he tried to raise his hand to fix it, but it was too late.

Seizing this perfect opportunity, Lin Yu didn't hesitate. His longsword streaked across the night sky like a shooting star, carrying an unstoppable momentum, and he stabbed the guardian's right arm. The sword sank into the muscle with a dull thud, and blood gushed out instantly, staining the blade crimson.

The guardian winced in pain, letting out a roar like a wounded beast. The sound was like thunder, making everyone's eardrums ache. The black energy around him also went berserk due to this anger, twisting and rolling wildly, as if to drag everyone into an endless abyss and unleash an even more frenzied revenge.
