I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Chapter 151: The ancient city's mechanism is in trouble again, and the brave man is determined

"Whoosh whoosh—"

A sharp piercing sound stung his eardrums. A dense rain of arrows shot out from the depths of the tunnel like locusts, blocking all escape routes. Lei Yi, quick-witted and swift-handed, pulled Dongfang Liuli behind him, simultaneously surging his true energy to form an impenetrable shield around them both.

“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”

The arrows struck the shield, sparking sparks but failing to shake it in the slightest. Still terrified, Dongfang Liuli looked up at Lei Yi's resolute profile, her eyes filled with worry. "Lei Yi, what should we do now?"

"Don't be afraid, I'm here!" Lei Yi whispered to comfort him, but his eyes swept coldly towards the Dark Night Master and others behind him, "You despicable villains, you only know how to take advantage of the situation!"

Young Master Dark Night sneered, his eyes full of greed: "Lei Yi, if you know what's good for you, hand over the treasure, and I'll consider sparing your life!"

"Dream on!" Lei Yi roared, controlling his shield to withstand the rain of arrows and slowly retreating. He knew that with his current strength, he was not enough to fight against the combined forces of Young Master Dark Night and the Master of Mechanical Machinery. He had to find a way to escape first.

"Hmph, if you don't accept my toast, you'll have to pay me back!" Young Master Dark Night was furious when he saw Lei Yi refused to give in. He shouted at the iron-faced man behind him, "Tieshan, come on, kill him!"

The iron-faced man could no longer contain himself. Upon receiving the order, he roared, brandishing his massive hammer and charging at Lei Yi like a savage bull. With every step he took, the ground shook like an earthquake, the sound terrifying.

"You don't know your own limitations!" Lei Yi snorted coldly, changing his steps and dodging the attack of the iron-faced man like a ghost. At the same time, a sharp sword energy condensed in his hand, aiming directly at the opponent's vital point.

"when!"

With a resounding clang of metal, sword energy and hammer collided, unleashing a dazzling burst of fire. The iron-faced man was thrown back several steps, his eyes filled with horror. He hadn't expected Lei Yi to be so formidable that even his full-strength attack couldn't even falter.

"Good boy, you're quite capable!" Young Master Dark Night's face was gloomy. He didn't expect Lei Yi to be so difficult to deal with, but seeing that the treasure was so close at hand, how could he give up easily?

"Master of Mechanisms, why don't you take action now?" Young Master Dark Night shouted at the Master of Mechanisms who had been silent behind him.

The master of mechanisms smiled grimly, and suddenly a strangely shaped compass appeared in his hand. He muttered something, and the needle on the compass spun wildly, finally pointing to the direction where Lei Yi was.

"rise!"

The Master of Mechanics gave a low shout, and a crack suddenly appeared in the ground. Sharp spikes shot out like poisonous snakes, heading straight for the feet of Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli.

"Be careful!" Dongfang Liuli screamed, subconsciously trying to pull Lei Yi away, but unexpectedly, she stepped on empty air and fell uncontrollably into the abyss...

"Liuli!" Lei Yi's eyes were bloodshot, and he reached out to grab her without thinking, but he only managed to grab a piece of her clothes...

"Haha, Lei Yi, your death has come!" Young Master Dark Night laughed wildly, commanding his men to launch an even more fierce attack, hoping to completely submerge Lei Yi in this ancient city rife with traps... "Liuli!" Lei Yi's eyes were bloodshot as he watched Dongfang Liuli's figure disappear into the darkness, his heart as if gripped by an invisible hand. He knew now was not the time to grieve; he had to escape his current predicament before he could save her!

"Boy, prepare to die!" The iron-faced man's roar exploded in his ears. Lei Yi snapped back to his senses, barely dodging the oncoming hammer. The clashing of spikes, the clashing of swords, and the cries of killing mingled, stimulating his nerves. He was like a small boat in a storm, ready to be swallowed by the waves at any moment.

Lei Yi fought and retreated, wounds etched all over his body, his clothes stained red with blood. But his gaze grew fiercer, his movements more agile. Between life and death, he seemed to enter a mysterious state, his perception of his surroundings becoming incredibly clear, even the subtlest sound of a mechanism being activated escaped his ears.

"Boom—" A thick stone pillar fell from the sky. Lei Yi narrowly avoided it, and the stone pillar crashed heavily to the ground, sending rubble flying. He noticed that where the stone pillar had been, there was a complex rune carved into the ground.

"Could it be..." Lei Yi's mind raced, and he quickly scanned the surroundings. Sure enough, he found similar runes at several other trigger points. These runes seemed chaotic, but they seemed to conceal some kind of pattern.

"Lei Yi, you have nowhere to escape!" Young Master Dark Night's triumphant voice came from afar. Beside him, Dongfang Liuli and Saint Lingxin were surrounded by several men in black, unable to get close. Saint Lingxin anxiously tried to break free, but was fiercely repelled by a man in black, a trace of blood oozing from the corner of her mouth.

"Liuli..." Lei Yi was terribly anxious, yet helpless. He knew he had to remain calm. Only by cracking the mechanism's secret could he break through the encirclement and rescue Dongfang Liuli. He endured the excruciating pain, his gaze fixed on the runes, his mind constantly deducing various possibilities.

"Young Master, look!" At this moment, the mechanical master who had been silent all this time suddenly pointed at Lei Yi, with a sinister smile on his face, "This kid's pace..."

"Oh?" Young Master Dark Night raised his eyebrows and looked in the direction of the Master of Mechanisms with interest. He saw that Lei Yi's steps seemed chaotic, but in fact there was a hidden pattern. Every step was precisely on the specific position of those runes.

"This kid is actually trying to crack the mechanism!" The mechanism master's face changed slightly, and a hint of viciousness flashed in his eyes. "Master, we can't let him succeed, otherwise we will all be trapped here to death!"

"Hmph, you don't know your own limitations!" Young Master Dark Night snorted coldly, swung the sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy rushed straight towards Lei Yi.

Lei Yi was prepared. He dodged the sword energy by moving sideways, and at the same time, he moved his feet and flew towards another rune like a ghost.

"Want to use the mechanism to deal with us? Wishful thinking!" The master of the mechanism sneered, quickly formed seals with his hands, and muttered something.

As he chanted the spell, the originally static runes suddenly lit up with a dazzling red light. A powerful energy wave came from deep underground, and the entire ancient city began to tremble violently.

"Not good!" Lei Yi was startled. He felt a powerful suction force dragging him towards a huge vortex. He knew that the master of the mechanism had changed the trajectory of the mechanism, intending to trap him here forever!

"Hahaha, kid, just prepare to die!" The master of mechanisms laughed triumphantly.

However, his smile froze before it could fully bloom. Lei Yi wasn't sucked into the vortex. Instead, he used the suction force to shoot like an arrow towards Young Master Dark Night and the others!

"What?!" Young Master Dark Night was horrified and quickly swung his sword to block.

"Boom--" Lei Yi's speed was as fast as lightning. Young Master Dark Night had no time to react before he was knocked away by Lei Yi's palm. He hit the wall heavily and spurted out a mouthful of blood.

"Young Master!" Seeing this, the surrounding men in black exclaimed and hurried forward to protect Young Master Dark Night.

"Ahem..." Young Master Dark Night struggled to stand up, his face as pale as paper, his eyes filled with horror. He had never imagined that Lei Yi could actually use the power of the mechanism to attack them!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lei Yi flashed and came to the side of Dongfang Liuli and Lingxin Saint, and waved his palm to repel the men in black who were besieging them.

"Liuli, are you okay?" Lei Yi asked with concern.

Dongfang Liuli looked at the man covered in blood in front of her, feeling mixed emotions.

Lei Yi didn't have time to say much, for he sensed an even more powerful energy surge brewing deep within the ancient city, a new crisis looming... He grabbed Dongfang Liuli's hand and ran deeper into the ancient city, leaving only one sentence echoing in the air: "Follow me!" Dongfang Liuli felt the warmth of his hand, and as he looked at Lei Yi's resolute back, the fog in his heart seemed to gradually dissipate...
