Chapter 132 The destroyer miscalculates, the hero counterattacks
The cold voice was like a cool breeze, blowing away the slightest bit of anxiety in Lei Yi's heart. He caught a glimpse of a red figure from the corner of his eye. Dongfang Liuli had already landed beside him like the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens. The long whip in her hand danced like a spirit snake, whipping away several bandits who had attempted to attack.
"Liuli, you're here!" Lei Yi was delighted. With Dongfang Liuli's joining, their chances of winning increased.
"Hmph, you rabble, you think you can get your hands on the spiritual mine?" Dongfang Liuli snorted coldly, her beautiful eyes filled with frost. Her figure was erratic, and every move she made was extremely swift and deadly. Those originally aggressive bandits were like lambs to be slaughtered in front of her, without any ability to fight back.
"You little bitch, stop being so arrogant!" Seeing this, the leader of the Golden Sword Village roared angrily and attacked Dongfang Liuli with his sword. The sharp sword wind was mixed with the whistling sound, making the surrounding air buzz.
Dongfang Liuli dodged the attack of the leader of the Golden Knife Village with ease. At the same time, he swung his long whip and wrapped it around the blade of the leader of the Golden Knife Village. He pulled it hard, and the leader of the Golden Knife Village felt a huge force coming, and the sword in his hand almost slipped out of his hand.
"Damn it!" The leader of the Golden Sword Village was shocked. He didn't expect that this seemingly weak woman could have such powerful strength. For a moment, he was entangled by her and couldn't get away.
"Young Master Lei, we are here to help you!" At this moment, Guard Luo arrived with several guards. They joined the battle and fought fiercely with Captain Song's men, temporarily relieving the pressure on Lei Yi and Dongfang Liuli.
"Lei Yi, are you okay?" Dongfang Liuli asked with concern while dealing with the leader of Jindao Village.
"I'm fine, just be careful, this old guy is quite powerful." Lei Yi shook his head, indicating that he was fine, but his eyes fell on a huge rock in the distance, which was where the mysterious treasure hunter had set up a destructive formation.
Lei Yi took a deep breath and took advantage of the opportunity when Dongfang Liuli, Luo Huwei and others were entangled with the leader of Jindao Village, Song Duozhu and others to quietly approach the huge rock. He had to destroy the formation before those people, otherwise once the formation was activated, the consequences would be unimaginable.
However, just as Lei Yi was about to approach the boulder, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ears: "What do you want to do?"
Lei Yi was startled and turned around suddenly. He saw a mysterious man in black clothes, a bamboo hat, and a black scarf covering his face. He appeared behind him and looked at him coldly...
"Who are you?" Lei Yi's heart was filled with alarm. He calmly took a step back, putting some distance between him and the man in black. This man in black had appeared too abruptly, and was clearly coming for him. Had his plan been exposed?
The man in black didn't answer, but sneered, then flashed and attacked Lei Yi like a ghost. Lei Yi was prepared, dodging the attack and drawing the long sword from his waist, engaging the man in black.
The black-clad man was quite powerful, and his moves were ruthless, each one aimed at Lei Yi's vital points. Lei Yi did not dare to be careless, and while dealing with the black-clad man, he looked for a chance to escape.
"boom!"
Just then, a loud noise was heard not far away. Lei Yi's heart skipped a beat, realizing that the trap he had set up earlier had been triggered. A sneer crossed his lips. It seemed that someone was even more anxious than him and had actually triggered the trap on their own initiative.
The man in black obviously heard the noise as well. He paused, a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes, as if he didn't understand what was going on.
"Your accomplice seems to be in trouble. Don't you want to help?" Lei Yi seized the opportunity, forced the man in black back with a sword, and said with a smile.
The man in black snorted coldly, ignoring Lei Yi and turning to rush in the direction of the loud noise. Lei Yi did not stop him, letting him go and taking the opportunity to approach the boulder.
Beside the boulder, Captain Song and Master Murong's men were engaged in a chaotic commotion. Seeing Lei Yi clashing with the black-clad figure, they each assumed the other was out to seize the spiritual ore, so they led their men forward, hoping to seize the opportunity. However, they accidentally triggered a trap set by Lei Yi and were attacked by rocks and crossbows, resulting in heavy casualties.
"Who is it? Who is plotting against me?" Captain Song dodged the flying rocks in a panic and roared angrily.
"Captain Song, why are your men so careless?" Young Master Murong's voice came from the crowd with a hint of sarcasm.
"Mr. Murong, stop talking nonsense. Your subordinates are not much better!" Captain Song retorted.
"Humph, if your people weren't so reckless, how could the mechanism have been triggered?"
"Bullshit, it was obviously your people who started it first!"
……
The two sides blamed each other, and neither side was willing to admit that it was their own people who started the fight first. The alliance, which was not solid to begin with, collapsed in an instant. The two sides were on the verge of fighting.
Lei Yi saw all this and laughed in his heart. He wanted to take advantage of the greed in these people's hearts, let them kill each other, and then he could reap the benefits.
While everyone was not paying attention, he quietly came to the boulder and unleashed the destructive formation set up by the mysterious treasure hunter.
"Rumble..."
The ground began to shake violently, and the originally peaceful core area of the spiritual mine suddenly cracked into huge cracks, as if the end of the world had come.
"what happened?"
"Is there an earthquake?"
The sudden change made everyone panic. They stopped fighting and looked at everything in front of them in horror.
At this moment, a huge black shadow rose up from the crack into the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar...
"Blood-eyed monster!" someone exclaimed.
Lei Yi looked at the huge black shadow, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he whispered to himself: "The good show has just begun..." The bloody mouth and the fishy wind pungent in the air. The blood-eyed monster appeared with the power to destroy the world. It flapped its wings frantically, raising gusts of wind, rolling boulders, breaking trees, and the core area of the spirit mine turned into a mess in an instant.
"Ah—" screams echoed one after another. The Golden Blade Village leader's men were unable to dodge and were crushed into a pulp by the Blood Eye Monster's claws. Blood splattered, staining the ground red. Captain Song and Master Murong's men fared no better. Facing such a ferocious monster, their usual martial arts moves seemed like child's play.
"Run away!" Someone shouted, and everyone was frightened by the horrific scene. They threw away their weapons and fled in all directions.
"Want to escape? Dream on!" A ruthless look flashed in Lei Yi's eyes. He took advantage of the chaos to push down a huge rock, which happened to hit the escape route of the leader of Jindao Village and others, forcing them in front of the blood-eyed monster.
"Lei Yi, you dare!" The leader of the Golden Sword Village was shocked and angry. He never thought that Lei Yi would use the blood-eyed monster to deal with him.
"Hmph, the victor makes you a king and the loser is a bandit. Blame it on yourself for being too greedy!" Lei Yi sneered, his figure flashed, and he flew in another direction.
The blood-eyed monster didn't care who was who. It only knew that everything in front of it was an enemy. It opened its bloody mouth and spewed a stream of scorching flames towards the leader of the Golden Sword Village and others.
"Ah--" The screams rang out again, and the leader of the Golden Sword Village and others were engulfed by flames and turned into ashes in an instant.
Lei Yi hid in the distance, looking at the hellish scene in front of him, without any pity in his heart. These people came here to rob the spiritual mine, and their death was not a pity!
He took a deep breath, scanned the chaotic battlefield, and began to look for the best resources of spiritual ore.
The blood-eyed monster was wreaking havoc and everyone was busy taking care of themselves. Lei Yi, with his familiarity with the terrain and keen observation, quickly found a hidden cave.
"This should be the place..." Lei Yi lowered his voice and was about to enter the cave when suddenly a cold voice came from behind him:
"Lei Yi, long time no see."
Lei Yi was startled and turned around suddenly, only to see Master Murong standing behind him with a long sword in his hand. Under Master Murong's sword, Dongfang Liuli was pale and unable to move.
"What do you want to do?" Lei Yi suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice.
"You should be very clear about what I want to do, right?" A sinister smile appeared on Mr. Murong's lips. "Tell me everything you know, and I might consider letting her go."
Lei Yi's gaze fell on Dongfang Liuli, only to see her shaking her head slightly, her eyes full of worry.
"Liuli..." Lei Yi's heart ached. He knew he was in a dilemma... "Liuli is in your hands. What bargaining chips do I have to negotiate with you?" Lei Yi took a deep breath, trying to suppress the surging emotions in his heart and make himself appear calm. "Whatever you want to know, just ask."
Young Master Murong sneered, and the sword in his hand approached Dongfang Liuli's fair neck, leaving a shallow blood mark. "I want the best spiritual vein location you can find. You should understand that to me, your life is far less important than it."
Dongfang Liuli frowned in pain, but stubbornly remained silent. She simply looked at Lei Yi with concern, signaling him with her eyes not to agree. She understood Lei Yi, and even more so what this spiritual vein meant to him.
"Okay, I'll tell you." Lei Yi agreed without any hesitation.
Young Master Murong obviously didn't expect him to agree so readily. A hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes, "You'd better not play tricks, otherwise..."
"I swear to God, if I tell you a lie..." Lei Yi said in a cold tone, raising his right hand as if to swear. However, he suddenly stopped mid-sentence, as if realizing something, and looked at Dongfang Liuli in disbelief, "Liuli, how could you..."
Young Master Murong was confused by his sudden action and urged impatiently, "What's wrong with you? Tell me!"
Lei Yi ignored him and just stared at Dongfang Liuli, his eyes full of shock and disbelief.
Dongfang Liuli felt uneasy when he looked at her. She endured the pain and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? Is there something on my face?"
"You...your neck..." Lei Yi's voice trembled slightly, as if he had seen something incredible, and his tone was full of disbelief.
Young Master Murong's heart was filled with alarm, and he subconsciously lowered his head to look at Dongfang Liuli's neck, but found that there was nothing there except a shallow wound that he had just cut.
Just when he was puzzled, Lei Yi moved.
He rushed forward with lightning speed, grabbed the wrist of Master Murong holding the sword, and twisted it hard.
With a crisp "crack", the bones in Master Murong's wrist broke and the long sword in his hand fell to the ground.
"How dare you lie to me!" Master Murong roared angrily, covering his painful wrist.
"All's fair in war. The only problem is that you're too stupid." Lei Yi glanced at him coldly, then quickly pulled Dongfang Liuli behind him and stared at Master Murong vigilantly.
"Do you think you've won like this? Don't forget, my people are everywhere here!" Master Murong said viciously, enduring the pain.
Lei Yi didn't say anything, but just looked up at the cave not far away, with a cold smile on his lips.
At this moment, a deep voice suddenly came from behind Mr. Murong: "Who said that all these people are yours?"
Young Master Murong's face changed drastically. He turned around suddenly and saw that Guard Luo and a dozen men in black had surrounded them...
