Chapter 463: Say it again, no need!
"I don't need the audience's attention." Lin Qingyao's voice was cold. The tip of her Qingfu sword was slightly raised and pointed at the man. She was obviously ready for battle.
The man just smiled slightly and raised his hand to signal her to relax, as if he didn't take her sword seriously at all.
"Don't worry, I mean no harm. But you seem to have been seriously injured."
Lin Qingyao frowned slightly and exerted a little force on the hand holding the sword.
She knew that her condition was not good. The previous battle had almost exhausted all her magic energy and physical strength. Coupled with the injuries in her body, she did not have the ability to fight again at the moment.
"What exactly do you want?" Lin Qingyao asked coldly, suppressing her physical weakness.
The man paused slightly, looked her over, and then revealed a meaningful smile.
"Perhaps, we can cooperate with each other."
"Cooperation?" Lin Qingyao looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant.
"Yes." The man said slowly, "I am also somewhat interested in this monster, and you seem to be the only human who can fight it.
Together we can explore deeper secrets."
Lin Qingyao was silent for a moment, weighing the pros and cons in her mind.
She had no trust in this stranger who suddenly appeared, but her physical strength was almost exhausted. If the other party was hostile, she would be powerless to resist.
Instead of doing this, it is better to accept the cooperation temporarily and make plans when the time is right.
"Okay, I'll accept your proposal for now." Lin Qingyao slowly put down the sword, but his eyes were still full of vigilance.
The man smiled slightly, as if he had already expected her to agree, and nodded.
"A wise choice. In that case, let's rest for now and continue exploring tomorrow."
Lin Qingyao stared at him coldly, but was secretly alert in her heart, and decided that no matter what, she would not let down her guard against him.
At the same time, she was also worried about Lin Feihong's situation, wondering if this mysterious man had done anything to him.
Lin Feihong was guarding the door, intending to protect Lin Qingyao in the fierce battle. Suddenly, his eyelids became heavy and he could hardly lift them up, and alarm bells rang in his mind.
"Something's wrong!" He growled subconsciously, struggling to stay awake, "Sister Qingyao, be careful! I seem to have been... hit..."
Before he finished speaking, his body swayed, and Chen Yile beside him also lost his support and fell to the ground together, his eyes closed, obviously unconscious.
Lin Qingyao immediately turned around, staring fiercely at the mysterious man, her voice as cold as frost: "Who are you? What did you do to them?"
The man's lips curled up slightly, revealing a playful smile. He slowly said, "It's just a little trick, don't worry. They are fine... I just hope that our cooperation will not be disturbed."
Lin Qingyao stared at him coldly, the Qingfu Sword in her hand trembling slightly, her aura sharp, "I don't need your 'cooperation'."
However, at this moment, the monster behind her, the huge creature that had fallen and lost its life, suddenly let out a low roar, instantly attracting her attention.
Lin Qingyao's heart trembled, and she quickly turned around - she saw that the monster's wounds were healing rapidly, and the cracked skin and shell were reconnecting at an alarming speed.
Its huge body stood up again, with an even more ferocious red light burning in its eyes. It seemed to be completely enraged by the power of resurrection and was more violent than before.
Lin Qingyao gripped the Qingfu Sword tightly, lowered her body slightly, and prepared to fight again.
"Tsk tsk, what a fierce guy." The man stood nearby with a watching look on his face, seemingly not intending to take action.
He said leisurely, "Lin Qingyao, as long as you are willing to cooperate, I can easily deal with this monster and save you a lot of trouble."
Lin Qingyao snorted coldly, pointed the tip of the Qingfu Sword at the monster, and shouted angrily: "First, explain to me clearly, what is going on with Lin Feihong!"
The man chuckled, a deep glint in his eyes. "Don't worry, he's just asleep temporarily. I just don't want him to get in the way."
His tone was nonchalant, as if he didn't care about Lin Feihong's safety, and he spoke with an unquestionable confidence.
Lin Qingyao's eyes were cold and she ignored him.
She knew that it was pointless to say more at this moment, and she could only concentrate on dealing with the monster in front of her.
However, the monster's aura became more and more ferocious. After its resurrection, it was no longer a simple creature, but seemed to be controlled by some kind of vengeful spirit power. It exuded a thick black aura all over its body, and every trace of black aura carried a highly poisonous smell, which made people feel uneasy.
The monster roared and rushed forward on all fours like a ferocious beast.
Its sharp claws swung towards Lin Qingyao like a blade, with a sharp sound of breaking through the wind.
Lin Qingyao dodged to the side and narrowly avoided the attack. The Qingfu Sword flashed with blue rune light and slashed towards the monster's forelimbs in mid-air.
The sword blade cut through the air, bringing out a bright sword energy.
However, the monster seemed to become more agile. It quickly retracted its front limbs and swept back with its backhand, and the shadow of its claws approached Lin Qingyao like lightning.
She jumped back and avoided the attack again, but suddenly found herself in a desperate situation.
Lin Feihong and Chen Yile were lying not far away, and she had no way to retreat.
Her eyes gradually became determined - if she wanted to protect them, she must not retreat.
"Are you going to force me to this point..." Lin Qingyao murmured in a low voice, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.
As the demonic energy in her body surged, faint black lines appeared on her skin, and her entire body was gradually enveloped by a layer of black aura, which became deeper and more fierce.
The man seemed to have seen through her intentions, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Oh? Demonization? It seems that you are more interesting than I thought."
Lin Qingyao's figure trembled slightly in the demonic energy, her breath became stronger, and a layer of black demonic energy also shrouded the Qingfu sword, blending with the power of Taoism to form a strange power.
She no longer hesitated. The power after being demonized made her move swiftly. The Qingfu Sword danced, leaving several afterimages, which turned into sword beams and attacked the monster.
The monster roared and attacked, but Lin Qingyao's sword energy was extremely sharp, and each sword strike landed accurately on the monster's joints.
Her demonized strength surged, and almost every blow of her sword cut into the monster's flesh, bringing out pieces of black blood. The monster roared, becoming more and more violent, waving its limbs as fiercely as a storm.
Seeing that the monster was at the end of its strength, Lin Qingyao stabbed the Qingfu Sword straight into the monster's chest, and the blade penetrated deeply into the monster's body.
However, the monster's rage seemed to have not subsided, but instead became even more intense.
It suddenly raised its claws and grabbed Lin Qingyao's arm fiercely. Its claws were as sharp as knives, even cutting through her protective magic power, bringing out a trickle of blood.
