Chapter 97 Unexpected danger comes. Xiao Chong's eyes suddenly became sharp, like a flash of cold stars, and he whispered: "Zi Yan, step back." Although the words were light, they were full of unquestionable determination. When Zi Yan heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then she understood the determination in Xiao Chong's eyes. Without saying anything, she slightly turned her body and retreated to a relatively safe distance. Xiao Chong took a deep breath, and the fighting spirit in his body surged like a raging wave, instantly covering his entire body. He clenched his fists, and every inch of his skin seemed to contain the power to destroy the world. Those dark creatures seemed to feel threatened and made even more shrill roars, ready to move and try to surround them. "How dare you, a mere evil creature, be so presumptuous!" Xiao Chong shouted, and his fighting spirit burst out like a tornado. For a moment, the wind howled and the space trembled. Each of his attacks was accurate and powerful, causing those dark creatures to explode one after another, turning into wisps of black smoke and dissipating in the air. The battle ended faster than expected. Xiao Chong's figure was still upright, but his breath had returned to normal. He walked slowly towards Zi Yan, took out a small jade bottle from his arms, shook it gently, and a few pills emitting a warm and lustrous luster rolled into his palm. "Zi Yan, this is the Hui Yuan Dan I specially made. You should feel much better after taking it." Zi Yan took the pill, her gratitude overflowing with words, "Brother Xiao Chong, I always trouble you..." Before she could finish her words, she was gently interrupted by Xiao Chong: "Between us, there's no need to thank me." His eyes were gentle, as if they could melt all the ice and snow.
After Zi Yan took the pill, her face gradually turned rosy, and her injuries and fatigue were obviously relieved. She stood up, her eyes firm, and said to Xiao Chong: "Now, it's my turn. There must be a more powerful existence behind these dark creatures." As soon as Xiao Chong finished speaking, he heard a strange sound of wind coming from afar, and an ominous atmosphere seemed to fill the air. "It seems that we don't have to look for it, it will come to our door on its own." Xiao Chong's tone was calm, but there was a fighting spirit in his eyes. "Those who come here with ill intentions will not come." Zi Yan clenched the sword in her hand, her eyes stern, "Then let's see who this person is." Suddenly, a huge eyeless worm broke out of the ground. Seeing the worm's appearance, Zi Yan felt like vomiting. Xiao Chong's figure flashed, and he instantly blocked in front of Zi Yan, drew out the long sword from his waist, and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the hideous eyeless worm. The sword light was like a cold moon, and the chill was overflowing. He said in a deep voice: "Zi Yan, step back." Zi Yan took a few steps back as she was told, but there was no fear in her eyes. She stared at the worm's every move, and the sword in her hand was ready to strike. The worm's huge body twisted, making a series of heart-pounding roars, and the dust on the ground flew up. Suddenly, it opened its fang-filled mouth and a foul smell rushed towards them, as if it wanted to swallow the two of them in one gulp. "You're looking for death!" Xiao Chong shouted, his figure turned into a shadow, and the sword light was as dense as a net, cutting straight into the worm's seven inches. As the sword light flashed, the air was cut with a hissing sound, indicating that the power of this attack was extraordinary. The worm seemed to feel threatened, and its skin suddenly hardened, and it even seemed to have a metallic luster, easily resisting Xiao Chong's first wave of attacks. Its reaction is so fast that it is terrifying. "This guy has thick skin and tough flesh." Xiao Chong steadied himself, frowned slightly, turned to Zi Yan and said, "We have to think of a way. We can't just fight head-on." When Zi Yan heard this, a cunning look flashed across her brows: "I have an idea." Xiao Chong nodded: "Tell me about it." "Watch me!" Zi Yan jumped lightly, avoiding another attack from the worm. At the same time, she pointed the sword in her hand diagonally to the sky and chanted a spell. In an instant, a bright light condensed at the tip of the sword, like a small sun, and the light contained the power of purification. As the energy continued to gather, the ball of light suddenly exploded and turned into thousands of light arrows, shooting towards the worms in an overwhelming manner. Under the impact of the light arrow, the worm twisted in pain, its skin began to show signs of corrosion, and it let out angry and painful hisses between its fangs. "Good opportunity!" Seeing this, Xiao Chong changed the momentum of his sword, and his sword moves became more fierce. Each strike landed precisely on the place where the worm had been eroded by the light before, as if clearing the way for Zi Yan's attack. The battle was fierce and exciting. The two men had a tacit understanding. One attacked the opponent by surprise, while the other delivered a fatal blow at the critical moment.
Although the worms were large in size, they gradually became overwhelmed by their close cooperation. Finally, after a fierce joint attack, the worm's huge body fell down with a loud bang, and the ground shook. Xiao Chong and Zi Yan mistakenly thought that the worm was dead, but they never expected that the worm's head would break off from its body, and it opened its bloody mouth and swallowed Xiao Chong and Zi Yan. "Be careful!" Zi Yan was sharp-eyed and was the first to notice the worm's sudden strange behavior. She suddenly pulled Xiao Chong, and the two of them narrowly avoided the huge mouthparts that could swallow everything. "This guy is not dead yet!" Xiao Chong's face was solemn, and the long sword in his hand flashed a cold light in the sun. He knew very well that the real battle had just begun. Although the worm's head was separated from its body, its bloodthirsty eyes still flashed with ferocity, as if it was unwilling to be defeated by a tiny human. Every time it twisted, a gust of wind was stirred up, sand and stones flew, and the air around it became heavy. "We have to make a quick decision. This monster has an incredibly strong vitality." Zi Yan drew out the short blade behind her, her eyes determined. The two of them stood back to back, forming a pincer attack, and vigilantly observed every subtle movement of the worm. "You attract its attention, and I'll find an opportunity to give it a fatal blow." Xiao Chong quickly formulated a battle plan, his tone revealing an unquestionable decisiveness. Zi Yan nodded, and her figure flashed like purple lightning, and she circled to the side of the worm. She shouted loudly: "Come on, big guy! Let's see which is sharper, your teeth or my knife!" The worm seemed to be enraged, and its huge head suddenly turned towards Zi Yan, opening its huge mouth and spewing out a foul smell, rushing straight towards her. Zi Yan dodged nimbly, and at the same time, she cast a trusting look in Xiao Chong's direction. Just when the worm's attention was completely attracted, Xiao Chong took a deep breath, the internal energy surged, and his body turned into a stream of light, rushing straight to the worm's vital point from an unexpected angle - the exposed vulnerable neck. "Go!" With a low shout, the long sword seemed to turn into a dragon's roar, and with the force of thunder, it fiercely pierced into the worm's neck. Blood gushed out like a spring, dyeing the surrounding sand red. The worm let out a deafening wail, and its head drooped weakly before finally falling heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust. "Well done, Brother Xiao Chong!" Zi Yan took a breath, a trace of sweat slid down her forehead, but her face was filled with the joy of victory. (End of this chapter)
