I am destroying the protagonist in the fantasy world!

Chapter 148: Opportunities and dangers arise, turning the tide to overcome adversity

Inside the hall, mechanisms roared, boulders tumbled, and sharp arrows rained down. The once tranquil space instantly transformed into a deadly trap. Lei Yi, trapped within it, felt like a small boat in a raging storm, vulnerable to being swallowed up at any moment.

Dongfang Liuli was extremely anxious and rushed towards Lei Yi regardless of everything. The long sword in her hand danced out sword energy and shot down the arrows shot at Lei Yi one by one.

"Liuli, don't come over! It's too dangerous here!" Lei Yi shouted anxiously while dodging falling rocks and sharp blades.

"I'm not afraid! I want to be with you!" Dongfang Liuli's voice was firm and persistent. She had made up her mind to advance and retreat with Lei Yi no matter what.

The Master of Mechanisms watched coldly, a cruel smile curling his lips. "You're overestimating your abilities!" he whispered, secretly manipulating the mechanism and increasing the force of the attack.

The boulders rolled down faster and faster, and the density of the arrows grew stronger and stronger. Dongfang Liuli gradually felt a little powerless. Although her swordsmanship was exquisite, she could not completely withstand such a dense attack.

Lei Yi dodged the attacks while anxiously searching for a way to break the trap. He knew that if this continued, both he and Dongfang Liuli would be exhausted by the trap and eventually die.

He quickly scanned his surroundings, trying to find a flaw. Suddenly, he noticed that after the mechanism was activated, some strange patterns appeared on the ground. These patterns appeared and disappeared, and seemed to be some special symbols.

"Could it be..." Lei Yi's mind stirred, and a bold idea came to his mind. He carefully observed the lines, comparing them with the patterns he had seen on the wall before, and gradually, he discovered some clues.

"So that's it!" Lei Yi suddenly realized. He finally understood what these lines represented and how the master of mechanism destroyed the mechanism.

He took a deep breath, his eyes becoming incomparably determined. He knew that there was no time to hesitate, he had to crack the trap as soon as possible, otherwise he and Dongfang Liuli would be doomed.

He dodged the attacks while cautiously approaching the core area of ​​the mechanism. The mechanism master seemed to have sensed his intentions and manipulated the mechanism to attack him frantically, trying to stop his actions.

"Want to stop me? Not so easy!" A gleam flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. He leaped, dodging a wave of deadly attacks. Then, with lightning speed, he pressed his hand on the core of the mechanism... The moment Lei Yi's finger touched the core, a strange energy wave emanated from his fingertips, rapidly spreading throughout the hall. The roar of the mechanism seemed to pause, and the speed of the falling rocks and arrows slowed slightly, but the atmosphere of danger remained undiminished.

Lei Yi ignored these changes, his entire mind focused on the touch coming from his fingertips. He could feel that the core of the mechanism was not completely destroyed, and there was still a faint energy fluctuation within it, and it was this energy fluctuation that maintained the operation of the entire mechanism.

He closed his eyes, mobilized his inner Qi, and tried to resonate with the energy fluctuations at the core of the mechanism. This was like an experienced doctor taking a patient's pulse, trying to find the source of the disease.

The master's expression suddenly changed when he saw Lei Yi's movements. "Oh no! He's trying to break my mechanism!" he exclaimed, a flash of panic in his eyes. He hadn't expected Lei Yi to be so clever and find a way to break the mechanism so quickly.

Young Master Dark Night also realized that something was wrong. He stared at Lei Yi gloomily and said in a cold voice, "We must not let him succeed!" After that, he turned around and ordered his men, "Go, kill him!"

Several men in black took the order, flashed, and turned into several black shadows, rushing towards Lei Yi.

Dongfang Liuli became very anxious when she saw this. She waved her sword, trying to stop the men in black from approaching Lei Yi, but she was blocked by the attack of the mechanism and could not escape for a while.

Although Lei Yi was concentrating on cracking the trap, his awareness of the outside world remained sharp. He sensed the approach of danger and thought to himself, but he couldn't distract himself.

At this critical moment, Lei Yi's mind suddenly flashed back to some of the patterns he had seen on the wall. Those patterns seemed chaotic, but they held a hidden meaning. If they were connected to the energy fluctuations at the core of the mechanism...

Lei Yi's heart skipped a beat, as if he had grasped something crucial. He took a deep breath and channeled his inner Qi to its full potential. The energy fluctuations at his fingertips grew stronger, forming a strange resonance with the energy fluctuations at the core of the mechanism.

The roar of the mechanism echoed again, but this time, there was a hint of panic and anxiety in the sound. The rhythm of the falling rocks and sharp arrows also became chaotic, as if out of control.

Just as Lei Yi was about to completely control the mechanism, several fierce attacks suddenly came, aiming directly at his vital points. Lei Yi was unable to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the attacks approached...

"Be careful!" A crisp voice sounded, echoing in the hall.

"Ding!" The crisp sound of bells resounded throughout the hall. A white light flashed, and Saint Lingxin stood in front of Lei Yi, gently shaking the silver bell in her hand, forming an invisible barrier that blocked all the attacks of the man in black.

"Saint Lady Lingxin, what do you mean?" Young Master Dark Night had a gloomy expression and a hint of anger in his tone.

The Holy Lady Lingxin's expression was calm. She swept her gaze over everyone present, finally landing on Lei Yi. She said softly, "I just don't want to see any unnecessary killing. Besides, cracking the mechanism is a test in itself. It's unfair for Young Master Dark Night to interfere like this."

Young Master Dark Night snorted coldly, ignoring the Holy Lady of Spiritual Heart. He simply stared at Lei Yi with murderous intent in his eyes. He knew that while Holy Lady of Spiritual Heart was formidable, she was no match for him. He could easily eliminate her if he chose. However, doing so would inevitably lead to dissatisfaction among the others, hindering his subsequent plans.

Lei Yi glanced at Saint Lingxin with gratitude. He knew his time was precious. He took a deep breath and focused his attention on the mechanism before him. His fingers quickly moved the various components, searching for the final key node.

When the Master of Mechanics saw this, a flash of despair flashed in his eyes. He knew that Lei Yi had found the key to cracking the mechanism, and no one could stop him.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more tense.

"Found it!" Lei Yi suddenly shouted, a delighted smile on his face. He had finally found the last node of the mechanism. Just a light press would break the entire mechanism.

Just as Lei Yi was about to press the last button, a powerful pressure suddenly descended, enveloping the entire hall. Lei Yi felt as if he were being grabbed by an invisible hand, unable to move.

"Boy, I'll take your life!" Young Master Dark Night's cold voice echoed in the hall. He finally couldn't help himself and decided to take action himself. He would never allow anyone to ruin his plan.

Young Master Dark Night flashed and turned into a shadow, rushing towards Lei Yi. A black energy ball condensed in his hand, emitting a terrifying aura that made people's hearts palpitate.

When Saint Lingxin saw this, her face changed drastically and she wanted to stop him, but she was suppressed by the pressure from Young Master Dark Night and could not move at all.

"Stop!" Dongfang Liuli shouted anxiously, but to no avail.

Seeing that Young Master Dark Night's attack was about to fall on Lei Yi, a hint of determination flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. He tried his best, mobilized the last bit of true energy in his body, and pressed the last node of the mechanism.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the core of the mechanism suddenly erupted with a dazzling light. The entire hall shook violently. The door of the ancient palace slowly opened, and a beam of precious light shot out from within...

"you wanna die!"
