Chapter 265 There's definitely something wrong with this Yu Duchen!
Just as Lin Qiong and the others recognized the Fire Thief, the man slowly turned around.
"Another...obstacle?"
The Fire Thief glanced at the crowd standing not far away, and squeezed out a hoarse voice, his tone filled with a chilling coldness.
He slowly raised the grotesque black sword in his hand, its twisted tip pointing directly at where Lin Qiong and the others were.
As he did this, a viscous, tangible chill spread outwards wildly, filling the surrounding space in the blink of an eye.
Just as this chill reached its peak, the Fire Thief's hoarse voice boomed once more:
"The spark...I will retrieve it; those who obstruct...die!"
Faced with the Fire Thief's threatening declaration, the group did not back down; instead, they gripped their weapons tightly in their hands.
Lin Qiong followed suit, mimicking the Fire Thief's posture, slowly raising the Calamity Extinction sword and returning the blow with its crimson blade.
"Hey, you said something similar last time, but who was the one who ran away in the end? It's so hard to guess!"
Lin Qiong deliberately dragged out his words, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth, sending the man in black robes an almost provocative smile.
However, despite his provocation, his muscles were already tense from intense focus, like a fully drawn bowstring.
After all, the image of almost being stabbed by this guy's sword last time was still vividly displayed in his mind...
However, the man in black robes did not respond to Lin Qiong's provocation, but only let out a cold snort.
He leaned forward slightly, took a half step back with his right leg, and raised the black sword in his hand to the right side, level with his shoulder.
next second.
The figure in black robes suddenly blurred, the ground beneath his feet cracked, and he transformed into a dark afterimage, rushing straight towards Lin Qiong.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qiong's pupils contracted instantly, and with a sonic boom exploding in his ears, the twisted black sword was already right in front of him.
"Beware!"
Xing, who was closest to Lin Qiong, exclaimed in surprise and rushed out like lightning, intending to intercept the sudden attack before the black sword fell.
Even though she was incredibly fast, she was still several steps away from Lin Qiong, far less fast than the black sword that was right in front of her.
Just as the black sword was about to fall, at this critical moment...
Lin Qiong bent his elbow and retracted his wrist, then reversed his grip on the Jiemie sword and placed it horizontally in the path of the falling black sword.
"Clang!"
The calamity and the black sword collided, and a deafening metallic clang resounded.
Lin Qiong felt a tremendous impact travel along the sword, causing his arm to go slightly numb, and he slid backward several meters uncontrollably.
Seeing that Lin Qiong had successfully withstood the blow, Xing's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, instantly settled down, and she immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
Without stopping, she turned and appeared behind the man in black robes like a ghost.
At the same moment, Lin Qiong, who had been knocked back, pushed off the ground with his legs like springs, using the recoil to quickly close the distance between himself and the man in black robes.
In the blink of an eye, the roles of offense and defense shift!
Lin Qiong led the way, and the Calamity Annihilation ignited with blazing flames, unleashing a scorching heat wave that made the surrounding air crackle and pop.
Xing was behind, his baseball bat bursting with dazzling blue light, countless arcs of electricity leaping across its surface like dancing snakes.
The red and blue lights were like two guillotines, sandwiching the man in black robes in the middle, as if they would cut him in two at any moment.
"Farewell to your fire, fire thief!"
Lin Qiong shouted, and the flames on the Calamity Extinction Ritual surged again, then slashed straight down at the black-robed man.
Xing also let out a delicate shout, and the blue-glowing baseball bat in her hand, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, slammed hard towards the black-robed man's head, her movements almost synchronized with Lin Qiong's.
Faced with the two's coordinated attack, the Fire Thief remained unmoved and instead let out a sigh full of helplessness.
After letting out a sigh, his body was instantly covered by a layer of dark purple light.
Immediately afterwards, the layer of eerie light rapidly expanded, like a rapidly inflating balloon, enveloping his entire body.
At that very moment, Lin Qiong and Xing's attacks arrived as expected.
"boom!"
The bat and the shard fell in a cross pattern, raging flames surged wildly, and a deafening roar echoed through the sky.
The eerie light that had enveloped the black-robed man was instantly shattered into specks of fluorescent light by the two men's powerful attacks...
As the flames gradually subsided, the scorched ground ravaged by the fire, and a shocking deep crater, were clearly revealed.
"Huh?!" Lin Qiong looked at the scene before him and realized that something seemed off—
The feedback from hitting the target did not come as he had expected!
Just like last time, the man in black robes vanished right before his eyes!
Recalling the other party's ability to teleport, Lin Qiong was greatly alarmed, and an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.
Thinking of this, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xia Die and Tian, who were behind him.
But as soon as Lin Qiong turned his head, he saw a strange purple light appear out of thin air behind Tian.
As the eerie light surged, the figure of the Fire Thief gradually emerged.
Immediately afterwards, a hoarse yet resolute voice came from beneath the black-robed man's mask:
"The spark of the path...is reclaimed here!"
The man in black robes raised his black sword, aiming it at Tian, who hadn't even had time to react.
"Give it to me—" Lin Qiong's eyes were bloodshot, and he stomped his feet on the ground, dragging Jie Mie along as he charged madly toward that direction, "Stop!!"
Once again, the man in black robes launched a surprise attack on his unsuspecting companion right in front of him.
Last time, the targets of the attack were Danheng and Xing, as well as Xia Die, who was recovering the fire seed.
This time, however, his target was the defenseless Tian.
Seeing Tian's terrified and pale face, Lin Qiong took three steps at a time and ran as fast as he could.
Sudden.
"Ugh—!"
Lin Qiong suddenly clutched his head, a sharp, needle-like pain instantly washing over him.
Immediately afterwards, countless images flashed by, and a flood of memories surged into my brain like a rising tide.
The sudden stinging pain caused his legs to stagger uncontrollably for a few steps, briefly stopping in place for a moment.
And it was in this seemingly insignificant moment that...
This allowed the black-robed man to unleash his murderous black sword without hesitation, slashing down at Tian!
At this moment, time seemed to stretch out infinitely, and all Lin Qiong could see was the black sword slowly slashing down.
Just when life and death were at stake, a bright light suddenly flashed in Lin Qiong's left palm, and a crimson feather burning like a flame appeared from it.
Almost instinctively, he summoned Yu Duchen!
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Lin Qiong didn't have time to think too much. Desperate to save lives, he immediately activated the Feather Crossing Dust ability.
"Buzz!"
A crystal-clear portal, composed of countless crystal light fragments, appeared out of thin air between the man in black robes and Tian.
Lin Qiong stared intently at the crystal light gate, stomped his feet on the ground, and sprinted towards Tian's location once again.
"Block it! You must block this attack for Tian!"
He could only pin his hopes on the person who would emerge from the door, even though he didn't know who that person was, or even whether the person inside the door was human.
But if he can block one attack and buy him some time, he will have a chance to save Tian!
Just as the Fire Thief's black sword was about to touch the portal,
A crimson greatsword burning with flames suddenly emerged from the doorway, instantly blocking the incoming black sword.
Upon seeing that familiar weapon, Lin Qiong's brain briefly went blank for a second, and he involuntarily stopped in his tracks.
Just as he was lost in thought, a strangely familiar voice came from the outward-opening crystal door.
"When the final meteor fell in the Cretaceous period, only the free bird could escape its predetermined demise..."
"On the burnt-out earth, I made a promise to her, to everyone: no matter the cost, humanity will surely defeat the Honkai!"
