I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 223: Breaking the Ambush and Strike the Heart of the Demon's Nest

"Boom!" A blood-red giant claw, engulfed in a bloody storm, slammed down on Ren Xiaoyao and the others. Wherever it struck, the ground cracked and sand and rocks flew everywhere. Everyone gathered their Qi to resist, but the overwhelming force still sent their Qi and blood surging.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin exclaimed, waving her staff. An emerald green light shield instantly opened, protecting everyone. The giant claws smashed into the light shield with a deafening roar. The light shield trembled violently, but miraculously withstood the attack.

"What a strong defense!" Ren Xiaoyao secretly praised Xia Lin's strength. However, he knew that defense alone would not be enough to defeat the monster before him. He had to find the Blood Demon Leader's weakness.

The Blood Demon Cult Leader's attack failed, and he became even more furious. His eyes were bloodshot as he madly waved his giant claws, attacking the light shield again and again. Xia Lin's delicate body trembled, and it was obvious that she was about to collapse.

"Everyone, scatter and break out!" Ren Xiaoyao made a quick decision, commanding everyone to look for an opportunity to break through. He knew that the Blood Demon Leader had lost his mind, and fighting hard at this moment would only be a waste of life.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately scattered, dodging the Blood Demon Cult Leader's attacks. Ren Xiaoyao's eyes were as sharp as torches, carefully observing the Blood Demon Cult Leader's attack methods, trying to find his flaws.

"Roar!" The Blood Demon Leader roared again. He seemed to have noticed Ren Xiaoyao's intention. He slammed his giant claws on the ground, causing the earth to shake. Countless blood-colored beams of light gushed out from the ground, blocking everyone's retreat.

"Oh no, it's a magic mechanism!" Qingfeng Swordsman exclaimed and narrowly avoided the attack of a blood-red beam of light.

"The activation of these mechanisms seems to be related to the surrounding terrain and the demonic aura..." Ren Xiaoyao frowned. He found that these blood-colored light pillars were not random attacks, but followed a certain pattern.

"Everyone, follow me!" Ren Xiaoyao's mind raced as he thought of a way to break the trap. With a flicker of his body, he led everyone through the cracks in the blood-red beam, each step incredibly precise, just avoiding the trap's attack range.

"Brother Xiaoyao, what did you find?" Xia Lin asked while vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.

"These mechanisms need the help of demonic energy to be activated. As long as we move along a specific route, we can avoid their attack range." Ren Xiaoyao explained while continuing to lead everyone to break forward.

Following Ren Xiaoyao's instructions, everyone avoided many attacks from the mechanisms and even began to fight back against those masters of magic who took the opportunity to launch sneak attacks.

"Kill!" Qingfeng Swordsman and the leader of the righteous path took advantage of the situation to break free from the entanglement of the magic masters, met up with Ren Xiaoyao, and advanced towards the core of the demon's nest together.

"Ren Xiaoyao, you won't succeed!" The Blood Demon Cult Leader, upon seeing this, was instantly enraged, but he was trapped, unable to escape... The Qingfeng Swordsman's sword shone like a stream of silk, and sharp sword energy drove back the attacking demon disciples. His figure was graceful, and he shuttled across the battlefield like a startling wild goose, leaving only a shadow in his wake. The Righteous Alliance Leader was as steady as a mountain. His palm techniques were powerful, and each palm contained the power of a tsunami, sending the approaching demon disciples flying.

"Brother Xiaoyao, your judgment is indeed correct. This demon's nest does have another mystery!" Qingfeng Swordsman met Ren Xiaoyao with a hint of excitement on his face.

"We must find the Blood Demon Leader as soon as possible and stop his conspiracy." Ren Xiaoyao looked solemn. He knew that the real battle had just begun.

Xia Lin followed closely behind. Though exhausted, her eyes remained resolute, her medical instruments ready to treat the wounded. Whenever a righteous disciple was injured, she would rush to their aid, using her deft hands to heal them.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin suddenly saw a black shadow attacking Ren Xiaoyao from behind and quickly warned him.

Ren Xiaoyao was prepared. He moved his body to the side, dodging the attack of the black shadow, and slapped the black shadow away with his backhand.

"A mere trifle!" Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly and continued to move forward.

They fought their way through the thorns and finally arrived at the core area of the demon's nest. Here, the demonic energy was thick and the wind was cold, making people shudder.

"It seems that we have alarmed the Blood Demon Leader." The leader of the righteous alliance looked at the surrounding environment and said in a deep voice.

"Hmph, just in time, I was going to meet him!" Ren Xiaoyao was full of fighting spirit, and he couldn't wait to compete with the Blood Demon Leader.

At this moment, a suffocating pressure came from the depths of the demon's nest, and the entire demon's nest seemed to be trembling.

"How dare you, ants, trespass into my demonic lair? You're courting death!" A cold, chilling voice echoed in everyone's ears, sending chills down their spines...

Before the cold words had even finished, a figure draped in a blood-red robe slowly emerged from the depths of the demon's lair. He was tall, gaunt, with eyes as sharp as a hawk's, and exuding a terrifying demonic aura. This figure was none other than the great master of the demonic path—the Blood Demon Cult Leader!

"You hypocrites of the righteous path, you repeatedly ruin my plans. Do you really think my demonic sect is empty?!" The Blood Demon Cult Leader roared, and a powerful pressure came over everyone like a raging storm. Under this pressure, the righteous disciples found it difficult to breathe and almost couldn't stand.

"Hmph, you old thief Blood Demon, you have committed so many evil things, today is the day you die!" Ren Xiaoyao stepped forward and protected everyone behind him. His eyes were like torches, and he looked at the Blood Demon Leader without fear.

"Just you? You are overestimating yourself!" The Blood Demon Cult leader sneered, and two black shadows flashed behind him. They were the left and right protectors of the Demon Cult - the Shadow Protector and the Poisonous Scorpion Witch.

"Today I will let you see how powerful my Demon Sect is!" The Shadow Protector said sinisterly. He formed seals with his hands, and suddenly the shadows around him seemed to come alive, turning into countless black blades, attacking Ren Xiaoyao and others.

"A mere trifle!" The Qingfeng swordsman snorted coldly. He swung his sword with all his might, blocking all the black blades.

The Scorpion Witch is agile and moves across the battlefield like a ghost. The pair of poisonous hooks in her hands flash with a faint green light. Every time she attacks, she goes straight for the enemy's vital points, making it difficult to defend against.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin saw the Scorpion Witch attacking Ren Xiaoyao and quickly warned her.

Ren Xiaoyao smiled slightly, signaling Xia Lin not to worry. He dodged the attack of the poisonous scorpion witch with a flash of his body. At the same time, he slapped out with his palm, and the powerful true energy turned into a golden palm print, blasting towards the poisonous scorpion witch.

The Poison Scorpion Witch was horrified. She hadn't expected Ren Xiaoyao to be so powerful, and she quickly dodged. However, the golden palm print was extremely fast. Although she avoided the vital part, she was still hit by the palm wind, and she immediately vomited blood and flew backwards.

"Good boy, you really have some skills! But you are destined to die here today!" Seeing how powerful Ren Xiaoyao was, the Blood Demon Leader couldn't help but be moved. He roared angrily and attacked Ren Xiaoyao himself.

The Blood Demon Leader is worthy of being a giant in the magic world. His first move was extraordinary. He waved his hands, and blood-red demonic energy surged out like a raging wave, turning into a huge blood-red devil claw, grabbing towards Ren Xiaoyao.

"Come on!" Ren Xiaoyao's fighting spirit was high. He shouted loudly, and his true energy surged. He slapped out with the same palm. The golden palm print and the bloody devil's claw collided in the air, making a deafening noise.

The surrounding space was distorted by the collision of their forces, and powerful energy fluctuations spread in all directions, tearing huge cracks in the ground.

The two sides were evenly matched, neither able to defeat the other. A hint of surprise flashed in the Blood Demon Cult Leader's eyes. He had not expected that Ren Xiaoyao could actually compete with him head-on. You know, he had been practicing for hundreds of years, and how old was Ren Xiaoyao?

"Boy, who are you?!" asked the Blood Demon Leader in a deep voice.

"The one who wants to kill you!" Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly. He no longer held back, his Qi circulating frantically, and a powerful aura erupted from him... His eyes flashed, and with a low shout, a dazzling light gathered in his hands, and he fiercely attacked the Blood Demon Leader. The Blood Demon Leader's face changed, obviously not expecting that Ren Xiaoyao still had such a powerful power hidden... "Nine Yang Divine Art!" Ren Xiaoyao roared, and the dazzling light turned into a golden beam, rushing straight towards the Blood Demon Leader.

The Blood Demon Cult leader tried to resist hastily, but found that his demonic energy melted away like ice and snow under the golden light. It turned out that the Nine Yang Divine Art that Ren Xiaoyao practiced was a very strong and yang-intensive technique, which had a natural inhibitory effect on demonic techniques.

The golden light was unstoppable, instantly piercing through the Blood Demon Cult Leader's defenses and leaving a charred hole in his chest. The Blood Demon Cult Leader screamed miserably and stumbled back, his eyes filled with unwillingness and disbelief.

"Master!" The Shadow Protector and the Scorpion Witch were horrified upon seeing this and hurried forward to support the Blood Demon Master.

"Don't worry about me, stop him quickly!" The Blood Demon Leader pushed the two men away. He knew that he was seriously injured and unable to fight again. He could only pin his hopes on the two men.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Ren Xiaoyao flashed and came in front of the Shadow Protector and the Scorpion Witch. He stretched out his palms together, and two golden palm prints hit the chests of the two respectively, knocking them away.

"Just stay here with your leader!" Ren Xiaoyao snorted coldly, no longer paying attention to the two of them, and turned to walk towards the depths of the demon's nest.

"Brother Xiaoyao, wait for me!" Seeing this, Xia Lin hurriedly followed.

The leader of the righteous alliance, the Qingfeng swordsman and others followed closely behind. They knew that the real decisive battle had just begun.

Ren Xiaoyao's path was unstoppable, and any demon sect disciple who stood in his way was mercilessly killed by him. The depths of the demon's nest were gloomy and terrifying, and the air was filled with a strong smell of blood, which made people shudder.

Finally, Ren Xiaoyao arrived in front of a huge stone door. Various hideous and terrifying patterns were carved on the stone door, as if it was the entrance from hell.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin pulled the corner of Ren Xiaoyao's clothes, her eyes full of worry.

Ren Xiaoyao gently patted Xia Lin's hand, signaling her not to worry, then took a deep breath and slowly pushed open the stone door.

The stone door slowly opened, and an ancient and mysterious aura filled the air. Ren Xiaoyao stepped inside, and the stone door behind him slammed shut.

Suddenly, the view opened up. This was actually a massive underground palace! In the center of the palace, an ancient altar emitted a faint blue light. Surrounding the altar, eight massive stone pillars were carved with complex and profound runes, seemingly imbued with some mysterious power.

"What is this place?" Charlene asked in a low voice, looking around curiously.

"I don't know, but I feel like there seems to be some secret hidden here..." Ren Xiaoyao said in a deep voice. He slowly walked towards the altar, his eyes fixed on the blue light in the center of the altar.

Suddenly, a blue light became brighter, and an illusory figure slowly emerged from the blue light...

"You are..." Ren Xiaoyao looked at the figure in front of him, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm of emotions rose in his heart.

The illusory figure slowly spoke, his voice ancient and vicissitudes: "I have finally waited for you, my successor..."
