Chapter 260 Fierce Battle!
"You're asking for it!"
The stalemate was completely shattered by Lin Yuan's indifferent assessment.
The three Fallen Ones, initially brimming with a playful arrogance, believed they held an absolute advantage and had Lin Yuan and An Xin's lives in their hands.
But the disdain and contempt in Lin Yuan's calm words were like a cold slap, shattering all their arrogance and sense of superiority.
They joined the Fallen Order, thus gaining access to the world through the organization's theft of some of its privileges. They roamed freely in the forest, hunting down any players who dared to teleport there. Many players had already died at their hands, and they were now incredibly arrogant, believing they could easily manipulate those foolish players.
Now, being looked down upon by two new players—this stark contrast instantly ignited the pent-up violence and rage within them.
"court death!"
The burly Fallen One was enraged. The heavy cleaver in his hand, which was half a person's height and already stained with the blood essence of countless players, underwent a bizarre transformation as it was infused with his own berserk demonic energy.
The pitch-black evil energy coiled around the blade like a living thing, rolling and condensing into a solid form. The blade was jet black and shiny, with a faint black mist swirling around its edge. Each wisp of evil energy carried a terrifying power that could corrode spiritual energy and tear apart flesh. The air was compressed by the blade and trembled slightly, with a chilling coldness that cut to the bone.
This is no ordinary weapon; it is a demonic blade formed from the essence and demonic energy of numerous players he hunted. Its killing power far surpasses that of ordinary magical artifacts, and it is specifically designed to counter the physical bodies and spiritual protection of living beings.
Without holding back, the rotten earth beneath the feet of the burly fallen one exploded with a deafening roar, and his massive body, radiating overwhelming ferocity, slashed out fiercely with his demonic blade in hand!
The blade's momentum was domineering and unparalleled. The pitch-black blade energy stretched for several feet through the air, accompanied by a piercing, sharp sound as it tore through the air, and slashed straight down towards Lin Yuan's head. The attack was swift, ruthless, and decisive, leaving no room for retreat.
Faced with this thunderous attack, Lin Yuan remained calm and composed, his eyes showing no sign of panic.
He gripped the Divine Firmament Demon-Slaying Sword tightly in one hand, and the supreme yang golden light surrounding the sword suddenly surged, the brilliant golden radiance breaking through the darkness of the forest, and the pure Divine Firmament Demon-Slaying power spread out in a vast expanse.
Without dodging, retreating, or shrinking back, with his feet firmly planted on the ground and his body taut, he bravely faced the descending demonic blade head-on!
clang--!!!
The deafening clang of metal against metal reverberated throughout the dense forest, the piercing roar echoing among the ancient trees for a long time.
The pitch-black demonic energy and the supreme golden light clashed violently and annihilated each other, and the violent shockwaves swept outwards from the point of their confrontation.
The thick trunks of the ancient trees around them trembled violently, layers of moss peeled off, and small pieces of withered branches and leaves flew everywhere. The rotten soil on the ground was overturned by the shockwave, leaving a mess.
A fierce clash determined who would prevail in strength!
The burly Fallen One's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief.
His ferocious strike, imbued with all his might and carrying a dense demonic aura, was enough to shatter ordinary spiritual energy shields and kill top-tier cultivators. Yet, when it struck Lin Yuan's peach wood sword, it was steadily blocked, remaining completely unmoved.
An even more powerful and domineering force of extreme Yang energy rebounded wildly along the blade, instantly engulfing his entire arm.
He felt his arms go numb, his muscles and bones tremble, and his palms were in excruciating pain. His fingers, which were gripping the knife handle tightly, suddenly loosened, his blood and qi surged violently, and his body was uncontrollably pushed backward.
One step, two steps, three steps!
The burly, degenerate man staggered back seven or eight steps, his feet carving two deep furrows in the muddy ground, before he could barely steady himself. His chest heaved violently, and the arrogance in his eyes was completely replaced by shock.
In just one head-on confrontation, he was completely crushed and forced back!
Just as Lin Yuan forced back the burly Fallen One, a battle suddenly broke out on the other side.
Anxin had already locked onto the battle situation. The divine light of the Demon-Slaying Sword at his fingertips was condensed to its ultimate form. The sniper rifle was loaded with bullets, gleaming with golden light, ready to deliver a fatal blow and severely damage the retreating burly Fallen One.
But just as she was about to pull the trigger, a chilling demonic aura suddenly blocked her path.
"Trying to ambush me? Did you even ask me first?!"
The thin, fallen man holding the wand's eyes turned cold, and his hoarse roar echoed through the forest.
He swung his black magic wand rapidly, the black patterns on the wand glowing with an eerie light. The lingering, chilling demonic energy instantly gathered and surged, and layers of black demonic mist materialized out of thin air, transforming into a thick and dense demonic barrier that precisely blocked An Xin's bullet trajectory.
Not only that, he flicked his wrist and tapped his wand repeatedly, sending out a series of dark magic bullets that flew out one after another, densely packed and at tricky angles, blocking all of An Xin's shooting angles and dodging space, forcibly restraining her movements.
The thin, fallen one moved with ghostly speed, using the cover of the demonic mist to close in instantly. Abandoning the consumption of ranged magic, he engaged in close combat, holding An Xin tightly and not giving her any chance to support Lin Yuan or charge up for a sniper attack.
He knew the terror of long-range sniping; as long as An Xin was trapped, the pressure on the battlefield would shift dramatically.
An Xin's gaze narrowed slightly, and she had no choice but to temporarily abandon her support role. She put away her gun to parry, dodged the incoming demonic bullets, and at the same time raised her hand to gather divine light to counterattack. She became entangled in a fierce battle with the thin, fallen one, and was completely tied down on the other side of the battlefield.
Seeing the two separated and fighting independently, Lin Yuan's gaze swept across the entire scene, and he spoke calmly and confidently, offering words of reassurance:
"Don't worry, stay calm and don't get distracted by supporting me. Leave these two useless guys to me, and we'll finish this quickly."
As soon as he finished speaking, the burly Fallen One, who had just been knocked back, was enraged to the extreme.
He had roamed this forest for a long time, hunting down so many players who could only tremble and beg for mercy at his feet. Today, however, he was defeated by the person in front of him with a single blow, losing all face. The killing intent and rage in his heart completely broke through the shackles.
His body was filled with black energy, his eyes were bloodshot and his face was ferocious and terrifying.
"You bastard! Come help me! I'm going to kill this man today!"
The burly Fallen One roared fiercely, beckoning the female Fallen Ones who were waiting for an opportunity to join forces and surround Lin Yuan. The humiliation of losing in a one-on-one fight made him completely abandon any hope of luck and resolve to join forces with his companions to crush and kill Lin Yuan with absolute combat power.
The one-armed female Fallen had been lying in wait nearby, observing and waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Upon hearing this, she instantly darted out, moving like a ghost among the ancient trees. Her cold and malevolent aura erupted, forming a pincer attack with the burly Fallen, completely blocking all of Lin Yuan's escape routes.
The two corrupt individuals simultaneously unleashed their most powerful trump cards, their murderous intent overwhelming!
With a flick of his left hand, the burly, fallen man conjured up a small, jet-black bronze bell covered in mottled, ancient patterns.
The bell was shrouded in layers of dark demonic energy, and the patterns on the bell wall flowed with eerie light. It looked ancient and heavy, but it exuded a terrifying pressure that suppressed the soul and imprisoned the body.
This is the [Demon-Suppressing Bell], which he transformed from a previously obtained artifact. It can not only shake the soul and disintegrate spiritual power, but also create a barrier to trap opponents. Once locked by the bell's sound, one's body will be frozen and restricted, leaving them at the mercy of others.
