I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 225: Battle with the Void Fairy, the Test of Inheritance Begins

"clang!"

At the critical moment, a flash of white light appeared on the body of the Ethereal Fairy, and a crystal-clear ice shield emerged, blocking the fatal blow. The black long sword collided with the ice shield with a deafening roar, and the powerful impact knocked both of them back.

Ren Xiaoyao felt his palms go numb, and the black sword almost slipped out of his hand. He did not dare to delay for a moment, and quickly steadied his body and rushed towards the ethereal fairy again.

"Good boy, you actually forced me to use my protective magic weapon!" The fairy's pretty face was frosty, and her beautiful eyes flickered with anger. It was obvious that Ren Xiaoyao had forced her to let out her true anger. She quickly formed a seal with her hands and muttered something. The white light on the ice shield suddenly became stronger, turning into a white beam that shot straight into the sky.

"Frozen for thousands of miles!"

With a delicate cry from the ethereal fairy, the white light column exploded and turned into countless ice crystals, sweeping towards Ren Xiaoyao like a rain of pear blossoms.

"Swallowing vortex!"

Ren Xiaoyao did not dare to be careless. The black long sword spun wildly, forming a huge black vortex that swallowed all the attacking ice crystals.

For a moment, ice crystals were flying in the field, sword lights were flashing, and roars were endless. The surrounding rocks were shaking and the trees were broken, as if the end of the world had come.

Xia Lin was watching with fear and trepidation. She knew that Fairy Kong Ling was the descendant of an ancient powerful being, and her strength was unfathomable. Although Ren Xiaoyao was gifted, he had only been practicing for a short time. It would probably not be easy for him to defeat Fairy Kong Ling.

"Brother Xiaoyao, you must be careful!" Xia Lin prayed silently in her heart.

The fierce battle lasted for nearly half an hour. Although Ren Xiaoyao barely resisted the attacks of the ethereal fairy with his mysterious devouring power, he was still unable to find her weakness. On the contrary, due to the long battle, the spiritual energy in his body was greatly consumed, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Hahaha, boy, weren't you very arrogant? Why can't you do it now?" Seeing this, the ethereal fairy curled up the corner of her mouth with a sneer, and her attack became more fierce and deadly. It was obvious that she wanted to press on with the victory and defeat Ren Xiaoyao completely.

"Damn it!"

Ren Xiaoyao roared, knowing he couldn't continue this passive defense or he would surely lose. With a thought, his black sword shone brightly, and a powerful devouring force erupted once again, sending the surrounding spiritual energy madly rushing towards him.

"What do you want to do?" Fairy Kong Ling felt the powerful aura emanating from Ren Xiaoyao, and a sense of unease suddenly rose in her heart. She wanted to stop Ren Xiaoyao, but it was too late...

In the distance, a dark figure lurked in the shadows, closely watching the battle. He wore a black robe and a hideous mask. The exposed skin was a strange gray-black, like a demon crawling out of hell.

This person is none other than the Black Demon King!

"Hehe, this kid is going all out. I can take advantage of this opportunity..." The Black Demon King was secretly happy to see Ren Xiaoyao gradually falling into trouble. He quietly approached the ancient ruins, ready to strike at any opportunity, with a sinister look in his eyes...

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin suddenly sensed a powerful, dangerous aura approaching. She turned sharply, only to see a dark shadow charging at her at alarming speed. Before Xia Lin's exclamation had even died down, the Black Demon King had appeared less than three feet behind Ren Xiaoyao. His right hand transformed into a claw, and pitch-black demonic energy swirled from his fingertips, carrying a suffocating aura of death as he struck directly at Ren Xiaoyao's back.

"Be careful!" Fairy Kong Ling hadn't expected someone to suddenly appear, and their target was Ren Xiaoyao. She was startled and wanted to stop him, but it was too late. She could only watch helplessly as the devil's claws filled with destructive aura were about to fall on Ren Xiaoyao.

However, at this critical moment, Ren Xiaoyao seemed to have eyes on his back, and he slightly turned his body to avoid the fatal blow. He swung his sword back, and the black long sword collided with the devil's claws, bursting out with a dazzling light, and the powerful impact knocked both of them back.

"Who are you and why did you attack me?" Ren Xiaoyao steadied his body, stared fiercely at the man in black in front of him, and asked in a deep voice.

"Hmph, go to hell!" The Black Demon King ignored Ren Xiaoyao's questioning. He flashed and attacked Ren Xiaoyao again. Each move was ruthless and deadly. It was obvious that he had the intention to kill him.

"Brother Xiaoyao, he is from the demon clan!" Xia Lin reminded anxiously.

"Demons?" Ren Xiaoyao was shocked when he heard this. He had heard about the demons before. They were said to be brutal and murderous, committing all kinds of evil and being the public enemy of the entire continent. He had never expected to encounter someone from the demon clan here today.

"Boy, prepare to die!" The Black Demon King laughed wildly and attacked Ren Xiaoyao again, while Ren Xiaoyao waved the black long sword and fought hard. For a while, the two fought on equal terms.

Fairy Kong Ling stood aside, watching Ren Xiaoyao's fierce battle with the Black Demon King, a complex look flashing in her eyes. She had originally thought that Ren Xiaoyao was just an arrogant man who would do anything to obtain the inheritance, but just now, facing the Black Demon King's sneak attack, he chose to protect Xia Lin without hesitation. This responsibility and courage made her think of Ren Xiaoyao a little differently.

"What are you still hesitating about? Do you want to watch him being killed by the demons?" Xia Lin couldn't help but ask when she saw that Fairy Kong Ling was hesitating to take action.

"This..." The ethereal fairy opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start.

"I know you are worried that I will be like the Black Demon King and do whatever it takes to obtain the inheritance, but I can swear on my life that I pursue the inheritance only to have more powerful power to protect the people I want to protect and to save more people in need!" Ren Xiaoyao said loudly while resisting the attack of the Black Demon King.

Hearing Ren Xiaoyao's words, the ethereal fairy's heart trembled again. She looked at the young man in front of her who was covered in blood but still held on to his beliefs, and an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart.

"Am I really wrong?" Fairy Kong Ling secretly asked herself in her heart. At this moment, she saw Ren Xiaoyao suddenly make a surprising move...

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin exclaimed, seeing that the Black Demon King's claws were approaching Ren Xiaoyao's chest, but Ren Xiaoyao seemed to have given up resistance, neither dodging nor evading, but instead stabbed the black long knife in his hand straight at the Ethereal Fairy!

"You're crazy!" the Fairy of Ethereal's beautiful eyes widened as she shouted. She had never imagined that Ren Xiaoyao would actually risk his life to attack her. This sudden change left her no time to react, and she could only watch helplessly as the black long sword stabbed towards her.

However, just as the black long sword was about to pierce the ethereal fairy, Ren Xiaoyao twisted his wrist, and the blade deflected, barely brushing against the ethereal fairy's sleeve. At the same time, the Black Demon King's claws struck Ren Xiaoyao's chest fiercely, knocking him flying.

"Puff!" A mouthful of blood spurted out, and Ren Xiaoyao fell heavily to the ground, his face as pale as paper.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Seeing this, Xia Lin was heartbroken. She quickly ran to Ren Xiaoyao and helped him up.

"You... why did you do this?" The ethereal fairy looked at Ren Xiaoyao lying in a pool of blood and asked in a complicated tone. She didn't understand why Ren Xiaoyao would rather get hurt than attack her. Wasn't he afraid of death?

"Cough cough..." Ren Xiaoyao coughed violently several times, and the blood at the corner of his mouth became brighter red, but he didn't care. He just raised his head with difficulty, looked at the ethereal fairy, and said word by word: "I want you to know that I... I am not a villain who will do anything to obtain the inheritance... I... I want to obtain the inheritance, just for... for..."

Having said this, Ren Xiaoyao's voice became weaker and weaker, and he eventually fell into a coma.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin panicked when she saw this. She quickly used her hand to check Ren Xiaoyao's breath and found that he was still alive. She breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't worry, he won't die," the ethereal fairy said calmly, her tone devoid of emotion. She walked over to Ren Xiaoyao, stretched out her delicate hand, and gently pressed it against his chest. A stream of pure immortal energy slowly flowed into Ren Xiaoyao's body, helping him heal.

After a while, Ren Xiaoyao's face gradually regained some color and his breathing became much steadier.

The ethereal fairy withdrew her hand, stood up, and looked at the unconscious Ren Xiaoyao with complicated eyes. After a long silence, she slowly said, "I can give you a chance, a chance to prove yourself."

After saying that, she waved her jade hand, and a ray of colorful light enveloped Ren Xiaoyao. The next moment, Ren Xiaoyao's body disappeared from the spot.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin shouted anxiously when she saw this.

"Don't worry, he's fine. I have sent him to the place of inheritance test. As long as he can pass the test, he can get the inheritance." The ethereal fairy said lightly.

"The place of inheritance test? What is that place? Is it dangerous?" Xia Lin asked hurriedly.

"That is the testing ground left by our ancestors. It is full of dangers and challenges. Only true geniuses can pass the test and obtain the inheritance." The ethereal fairy explained.

"Can Brother Xiaoyao pass the test?" Xia Lin asked worriedly.

"Whether he can pass the test depends on his own luck." The ethereal fairy said lightly, without any emotion in her tone.

At this time, Ren Xiaoyao had entered a strange space. It was desolate and there was no sign of life. There was only a terrifying aura in the air.

"Is this the place where the inheritance test is held?" Ren Xiaoyao looked around, secretly alert in his heart.

However, upon entering the test space, Ren Xiaoyao faced a variety of dangerous attacks. Countless sharp sword energies attacked from all directions, as if to tear him into pieces... Countless sharp sword energies, wrapped in the power of destroying heaven and earth, swept towards Ren Xiaoyao from all directions. This sword energy was not emitted by ordinary metal blades, but was condensed from pure spiritual energy. It was extremely sharp and seemed to cut Ren Xiaoyao into countless pieces.

"Is this the power of the inheritance test?" Ren Xiaoyao was filled with awe, not daring to be careless. He endured the excruciating pain in his body and quickly circulated his internal Qi. His body transformed into a phantom, dodging and weaving through the dense sword energy.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The sound of sword energy piercing the air was incessant, and each strike contained terrifying power. Even if it just grazed him, it was enough to severely injure Ren Xiaoyao. His clothes were ripped by the sword energy, and blood was dripping, but he seemed to feel no pain, his eyes only focused on the deadly sword energy.

"No, if this goes on, I'll be consumed by these sword energies sooner or later!" Ren Xiaoyao was extremely anxious. He knew that this inheritance test could not be solved by brute force, and he had to find the rules behind it.

While dodging the sword energy attacks, he carefully observed his surroundings, trying to find a way to break the formation. However, this space was empty, with nothing but the endless sword energy.

Just when Ren Xiaoyao was about to despair, he suddenly discovered that the attack trajectories of the sword energy did not seem to be irregular, but vaguely echoed his route of action.

"Could it be that..." Ren Xiaoyao's heart moved, and a bold guess came to his mind, "These sword energies can sense my fear?"

To verify his guess, Ren Xiaoyao took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He no longer tried to avoid the sword energy, but instead immersed his mind in his body, feeling the changes in his emotions.

Sure enough, when his heart was filled with fear, the sword attacks would become more fierce. Conversely, when his mind was calm, the sword attacks would weaken.

"I see!" A gleam of light flashed in Ren Xiaoyao's eyes, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly. "If that's the case, then I will..."
