Xiao Jin abruptly retreated, her blade flashing in a horizontal slash, but the man merely waved his hand dismissively—
"Bang!"
An invisible force slammed heavily into her chest, sending Xiao Jin flying backward and crashing into the stone wall. A metallic taste rose in her throat.
However, taking this opportunity, Xiao Jin threw out a blue-quality 'holy water' to help Yun Ye regain his senses.
The moment Yunye regained consciousness, his attack arrived in an instant, but the evil god didn't even turn his head. With a flick of his finger, the attack shattered instantly.
Yunye groaned as his knee slammed into the ground, blood seeping from his seven orifices.
"Overestimating yourself." The man chuckled and slowly walked towards Xiao Jin.
Xiao Jin struggled to his feet, the shattered shadows flashing wildly in his hand.
No! It's too powerful.
Xiao Jin had never felt such a strong sense of oppression before. Was this a 'god'?
She gritted her teeth. So what if he was a 'god'? She would never submit to being slaughtered.
With this in mind, Xiao Jin decisively activated the item [Desolate Barrier].
The next second, a field formed around the two of them, and enemies within the field would continuously suffer from the effects of life force loss and energy decay.
"Yunye! We can't hold back anymore!"
Yunye shuddered.
Without hesitation, he threw the item at the back of the evil god, which enveloped it and briefly immobilized it.
Immediately afterwards, several gusts of wind, carrying sharp blade light, slammed towards the evil god's body.
Unfortunately, the moment they touched the man's clothes, all the blades were blocked by an invisible barrier.
The evil god didn't even look, and simply waved his hand—
"Snap!"
The prop that Yunye threw shattered instantly, and he himself was thrown away by a tremendous force, crashing heavily to the ground some distance away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Jin lunged forward, her blade aimed straight for the evil god's throat, but the man merely shifted slightly, his fingertip lightly touching her wrist—
"ah!"
A sharp pain instantly swept through Xiao Jin's body. His wrist bones cracked under the strain, and the long sword slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
The next second, the evil god grabbed her neck, lifted Xiao Jin up, and dug his fingertips into her flesh, blood trickling down his pale knuckles.
"You yourself... seem quite interesting." The man narrowed his eyes, leaned closer to her wound, and gently sniffed it. "You have... a familiar scent."
Xiao Jin had difficulty breathing and her vision blurred, but she still remembered the lesson and refused to look directly into His eyes.
Before she could ponder the meaning of the myth, Xiao Jin's fingers laboriously reached for the Shadow Dagger at her waist—
"Pfft!"
At this moment, Yunye's sharp claws pierced into the evil god's shoulder from behind. The man frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, as he prepared to release Xiao Jin.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Jin suddenly attacked.
With the 'Instant Strike' skill activated, the dagger in Xiao Jin's hand transformed into a streak of light, piercing through the man's head.
With her neck loosened, Xiao Jin fell to the ground, coughing violently while covering her mouth, her vision blurring.
"Let's go...!" Yunye grabbed her, and the two staggered towards the cave entrance.
The evil god didn't chase after them; he simply stood still.
He tilted his head, and the hideous hole on his forehead was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
He chuckled softly: "Run? Do you think you can escape?"
As soon as he finished speaking, his body vanished from the spot.
……………………
The ground, the altar.
An hour after Xiao Jin and Yun Ye went down, Sui Ying's prop barrier finally gave way and shattered with a "crack".
Countless villagers took this opportunity to flock to the area like a tidal wave.
Their eyes were pitch black, their mouths stretched to their ears, and their fingernails grew as long as knives.
With no other option, in order to buy Xiao Jin and the others enough time, Sui Ying and the others had to pick up their weapons and block the NPCs in front of them.
"Damn it! This is never going to end!" Sui Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, his hand gripping the long-handled hammer trembling.
Feng Hao brandished his longsword, a deep, bone-revealing wound torn in his arm: "How are those two big shots doing? If we don't destroy the evil god's remains soon, we're all going to be wiped out!"
It's no wonder he thinks that way.
The male player with the severed finger ultimately died at the hands of the NPC, while the others were exhausted and covered in wounds.
Sui Ying: "Don't worry, I know their abilities, there won't be any problems." Although she said that, Sui Ying was also struggling to hold on.
With all the items on cooldown and the recovery potions almost used up, Sui Ying could only worry inwardly.
On the other side, Wang Zixuan's face was gloomy. The soul-guiding lamp in her hand had already been extinguished. She retreated imperceptibly, her eyes scanning the escape route.
It wasn't that she didn't trust Xiao Jin, but rather that she preferred to have a backup plan.
At that very moment—
With a loud "boom!", two figures were sent flying out of the cave entrance.
Just as the group was about to rejoice, they saw Xiao Jin and Yun Ye, covered in blood, crash heavily to the ground in a very disheveled state. They rolled several times before finally managing to kneel on one knee.
This was clearly caused by being beaten.
Sui Ying's pupils constricted sharply: "Xiao Jin! Yun Ye?"
Both of them were covered in blood. Xiao Jin had a shocking bloody hole in his chest, and Yun Ye's right arm was twisted unnaturally, with blood constantly spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Sui Ying and the others were shocked. What kind of existence could possibly be able to beat Xiao Jin and Yun Ye like this!
A bad feeling suddenly crept into their hearts.
Before anyone could react, a tall, slender figure suddenly appeared at the cave entrance.
The black-haired evil god stood in the moonlight, his robes spotless, but his fingertips were stained with Xiao Jin's blood.
That was caused by His arm piercing Xiao Jin's chest.
If it weren't for Yunye's timely rescue, she would probably be a cold corpse by now.
He tilted his head slightly, a pleased smile curving his lips: "Wow, quite a few people!"
Sui Ying and the other three were about to look over when they heard the sound.
"Don't look directly into His eyes!" Xiao Jin and Yun Ye's voices rang out simultaneously from behind.
Sui Ying and the others trembled, instinctively lowering their heads out of trust in the two. But one of them was a beat too slow, catching a glimpse of the evil god's eyes out of the corner of his eye—
"Aaaaaah—!"
Feng Hao suddenly screamed in agony as his eyeballs melted in their sockets, black blood streaming down his face. At the same time, he frantically scratched his face, something wriggling beneath his skin.
"not good!"
Sui Feng, who was nearby, slapped Feng Hao unconscious and injected him with a drug.
Meanwhile, Xiao Jin felt a chill run down her spine.
His energy has become stronger. When He first awoke, His influence on people was nowhere near as profound as it is now!
The evil god chuckled softly, then slowly walked towards the crowd: "Excellent, to wake up to such a lively scene. Ants, are you ready to become my sacrifices?"
Xiao Jin gripped his longsword tightly, forced himself to stand up, and the spirit stone at his fingertips turned to ash, causing the ice crystal armor to reappear.
A life-or-death battle is about to erupt!
