Rebirth in Another World: The Ultimate Legend

Lin Yu stared intently at the rider charging towards him like a ferocious tiger, his gaze seemingly trying to dissect his every move. He knew this was a life-or-death moment; the slightest mistake could cost him and Su Yao their lives. He endured the excruciating pain from using his forbidden divine power, a pain that felt like countless red-hot steel needles piercing his body, spreading from his meridians throughout his entire being, every inch of his skin suffering unbearable torment. But his will was as firm as steel, his mind racing to devise a countermeasure. "I can't panic. The more critical the moment, the calmer I must be. I still have a chance. I can't fall here. I must protect Su Yao." Although his body was extremely weak, his legs trembling slightly, as if he might collapse at any moment, his eyes still shone with determination—a desire to survive and an unwavering commitment to protecting Su Yao.

The rider moved with incredible speed, like a black lightning bolt, reaching Lin Yu in the blink of an eye. His longsword, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound like the howling of ghosts, slashed fiercely towards Lin Yu's neck, its blade gleaming with a chilling light, as if to instantly sever Lin Yu's life. Lin Yu concentrated his remaining spiritual energy, which flowed within him with difficulty, like a wisp of smoke. He unleashed the ultimate movement technique of the Starry Night Illusion Step, his body drifting backward like a wisp of smoke, each movement seemingly light yet fraught with difficulty. The longsword grazed his clothes, creating a gust of cold wind that cut into his skin like an ice blade, causing him to shiver involuntarily.

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hide! You brat, today is your death day!" The rider, having missed his attack, roared, his voice echoing through the canyon, filled with rage and resentment. He raised his blade again, this time with even greater ferocity, as if venting all his previous anger. Each strike carried the force of a whirlwind, aimed directly at Lin Yu's vitals, and an intense killing intent filled the air. Lin Yu struggled to dodge the attacks, his figure weaving through the flashing blades, each evasion fraught with danger, as if teetering on the edge of life and death. He anxiously pondered, "If I keep dodging like this, he'll eventually find an opening. My spiritual energy is constantly depleting, and my stamina is nearing its limit. I must take the initiative, but how can I deliver a fatal blow?"

At this moment, Su Yao was frantic with worry, tears streaming uncontrollably down her face. She knew Lin Yu had reached his limit, and watching him struggle against the enemy's attacks to protect her, her heart ached as if it were being torn apart. "Lin Yu, don't worry about me, just go! You've done so much for me, you can't lose your life because of me," Su Yao cried out, her voice filled with despair and helplessness. Lin Yu shouted back, "Don't talk nonsense, I won't abandon you! We've been through so many life-or-death situations together, how could I abandon you now? If we die, we'll die together!"

Seeing the rider's attack falter, Lin Yu paused for a split second, as if time itself had frozen. He roared, his voice echoing through the canyon, unleashing the move "Starry Sky Rift." A flash of light appeared on the Starry Sky Sword, like a shooting star in the night sky, and a crescent-shaped sword aura shot towards the rider. Wherever the aura passed, the air seemed to be sliced ​​apart, hissing as it went. The rider, surprised that Lin Yu could counterattack even in such a predicament, was astonished. He quickly dodged to the side, his body moving swiftly like a black shadow. The sword aura grazed past him, leaving a deep mark on the canyon wall, sending debris flying and demonstrating its immense power.

"You've got some skill, but that's all! Your desperate struggle will only make your death more miserable!" The rider steadied himself, a ruthless glint in his eyes, a gaze like that of a demon from hell, filled with cruelty and evil. He gripped his longsword with both hands, pouring all his spiritual power into it. The power surged into the sword like a black torrent. The sword was instantly enveloped in a layer of black light, emanating an evil aura that seemed to devour everything around it. "This is my trump card, kid, prepare to die! Today is your end!" the rider roared, his voice like that of a howling beast, as he unleashed a full-force slash at Lin Yu.

A massive black blade of light roared out, like a black dragon. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a hissing sound, and space itself seemed to distort. Lin Yu looked at the approaching blade of light, his heart sinking. This power far exceeded his expectations, like a mountain pressing down, making it almost impossible for him to breathe. "Am I really going to die here today? I'm not resigned to this. I still have Su Yao to protect; it can't end like this." In this critical moment, Lin Yu suddenly had an idea, a resolute glint in his eyes.

He didn't choose to confront it head-on, knowing that in his current state, a direct confrontation would be futile. He used his last ounce of strength to charge towards the direction from which the blade's edge had come. The rider, seeing this, wore a smug smile, a smile filled with mockery and disdain: "Is this kid scared out of his wits? He's actually throwing his life away. Looks like he's lost his mind from fright. Good, saves me the trouble." However, just as Lin Yu approached the blade's edge, he suddenly changed direction. He cleverly used the force of the blade's edge, his body shooting towards the exit in the stone wall like a cannonball, his speed so fast that no one could react.

"Trying to run? Not so easy! You think you can escape my grasp like this?" The rider finally realized what was happening and hurriedly gave chase. But Lin Yu had already taken the lead. Just before reaching the exit, he dashed forward, scooped up Su Yao, her frail body looking so helpless in his arms. He rushed into the dazzling light, which instantly engulfed their figures. The rider reached the exit but suddenly stopped. He looked at the faintly shimmering danger within the light, feeling a sense of apprehension. The light seemed to conceal endless mysteries and dangers, making him hesitant to enter rashly.

"Hmph, consider yourself lucky. But do you think you're safe just because you're hiding inside? This is only a temporary escape. I will find you! You won't get away!" the rider said through gritted teeth, then led the remaining pursuers away, his departing figure filled with resentment and anger.

After rushing into the light, Lin Yu and Su Yao felt a sudden dizziness, as if the whole world was turning upside down. When they could see their surroundings again, they found themselves in a huge cave. The cave was filled with multicolored light, which intertwined like a dream, as if they had entered a fairy tale world. The walls were inlaid with various strange gems, each with a different shape and emitting a soft light. Some were like a deep and mysterious blue ocean; some were like red flames, passionate and unrestrained; and some were like a green forest, full of life and vitality.

"Where...where are we?" Su Yao asked weakly, her voice barely audible in the silent cave. Lin Yu gently set Su Yao down and said, "I don't know either, but at least we're safe for now." At this moment, Lin Yu felt both relieved that they had temporarily escaped their pursuers, a sense of relief washing over him. But at the same time, he was worried about whether this unfamiliar place harbored other dangers; the unknown environment kept his nerves on edge.

"Let's find a place to rest and recover some spiritual energy first. We must regain our strength as soon as possible; no one knows what awaits us in this place." Lin Yu helped Su Yao as they searched for a safe place to stay in the cave. However, they hadn't gone far when they heard a deep roar coming from the depths of the cave. The roar seemed to come from an ancient beast, full of power and awe, as if some enormous creature was awakening. Their relaxed mood instantly tensed up again...
