Legend of the Embroiderer

Chapter 215: A Desperate Gamble in Despair

The masters of the mysterious organization were like a group of extremely hungry, ferocious and brutal wolves. They took steady and threatening steps, approaching Li Zhao and his companions step by step.

The cold murderous intent emanating from them spread all around like thick fog, as if freezing the entire space.

Li Zhao and others leaned against each other in fear and quickly formed an extremely tight defensive circle.

Everyone held their weapons tightly in their hands. Due to excessive force, the knuckles of their fingers had turned slightly white, revealing the tension and fear deep in their hearts.

Li Zhao took a deep breath and then let out a loud roar.

As this angry roar rang out, the true energy in his body began to circulate wildly, and powerful force instantly gathered on the sword in his hand.

He swung his sword with all his might, and an attack with a cold light and sharp sword energy rushed towards the mysterious master in the lead.

However, faced with such a swift attack, the mysterious master only froze in his eyes, and then his figure flashed quickly like a ghost.

In the blink of an eye, he easily avoided Li Zhao's full-strength attack.

Immediately afterwards, this mysterious master slapped out with his backhand at lightning speed.

The wind from this palm strike was like an incomparably sharp blade whizzing through the air, the terrifying power contained within it made people shudder. Before the palm strike arrived, the intense sense of oppression had already enveloped Li Zhao and the others.

Li Zhao's face suddenly turned extremely ugly. He did not dare to be negligent at all and quickly raised the long sword in his hand to block horizontally.

There was a loud "bang" and the huge impact force was transmitted along the sword to his arms, making his arms numb.

His feet involuntarily slid back a distance on the ground, leaving two shallow marks on the hard ground.

Li Zhao was still shocked by this powerful force and took several steps back before he could barely stabilize his body.

Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess are currently engaged in a thrilling and bitter battle.

Su Mengyao's figure was agile, like a dancing butterfly, flying lightly in the air.

She held the sharp dagger tightly in her hand, and the cold light flashed from time to time in the interweaving of light and shadow, which was frightening.

Su Mengyao observed the every move of those mysterious masters with full concentration, trying to find even the slightest flaw in them.

The coordination between these masters was flawless, as if they were in tune with each other. Their moves were cunning and varied, sometimes fierce and fierce, sometimes gentle and cunning, making it difficult to defend against them.

Each attack was closely connected, with no gap at all, one move after another, going straight to the vital points, and each move was intended to take the person's life.

Faced with such a powerful enemy, Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess fought hard but gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Several hideous wounds began to appear on their bodies, and bright red blood flowed out, quickly staining their originally snow-white clothes red.

As the fighting continued to escalate, the situation became increasingly critical.

Li Zhao and his companions were also in bad condition, with more and more wounds on their bodies.

Blood continued to flow out from the arms, thighs and other parts, dripping down like beads with broken strings.

After a while, the blood gathered on the ground to form a small pool of blood.

However, even though they were seriously injured, the eyes of Li Zhao and others remained firm.

In their hearts, there is always a raging fire burning - they must seize the extremely precious gem and save the people of the world!

This belief supported them to grit their teeth and continue to fight bloody battles with the enemy, never giving up easily...

Just when they were about to run out of strength, the monster that had been hiding behind them suddenly let out a low roar. The sound echoed in the cave, hurting everyone's eardrums.

It was originally drowsy, but was stimulated by the atmosphere of the fierce battle and slowly woke up.

The monster slowly opened its eyes, with a fierce light flashing in them. It shook its huge head and glanced at the mysterious masters around it, as if it regarded them as new prey.

The mysterious masters' expressions changed slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in their eyes.

They hadn't expected the monster to awaken at this moment. One of the masters snorted coldly, his face filled with disdain as he said, "It's just a beast. What kind of trouble can it possibly cause?"

After saying that, he rushed towards the monster first, the sharp blade in his hand flashing with cold light, piercing the monster's vitals.

The monster did not dodge or evade, allowing the sharp blade to pierce its iron-hard scales, making a loud "clang" sound, as if metal was colliding.

The monster swung its thick claws at lightning speed, and with a "slap", it slapped the master away.

The master's body was like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily against the wall of the cave and letting out a painful groan.

Upon seeing this, other mysterious masters gathered around and started a melee with the monster.

The monster's strength was incredible. Every time it waved its claws, it could stir up a gust of wind. Although the mysterious masters were numerous, they could not gain the upper hand for a while.

Li Zhao and others took this opportunity to lean against the cave wall to take a breath.

They looked at the chaotic battle before them and knew that this was their only chance to get the gem.

Li Zhao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes revealing determination as he said, "We can't wait any longer. Now is the time to find a way to break the magic circle!"

Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess nodded slightly, their eyes equally filled with determination. They approached the magic circle cautiously, vigilantly observing the surrounding restrictions and traps.

She took every step with extreme caution, fearing she might trigger the trap. Su Mengyao pulled out an ancient book from her bosom, her hands trembling slightly as she quickly flipped through it, trying to find a clue to cracking the magic circle.

The words in the ancient books were obscure and difficult to understand. Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. Time passed by minute by minute, and every second seemed like torture.

Just as they were studying the magic circle, the leader of the mysterious organization suddenly appeared.

When he saw the monster and his men engaged in a melee, his face instantly became so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out.

He snorted coldly, a fierce glint in his eyes, and said, "You think you can get the gem like this? That's wishful thinking!"

As he spoke, he quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A powerful black spiritual power surged out from his hands and rushed towards the magic circle like a surging black tide.

Li Zhao and the others felt the threat of this power and were terrified. They sped up their efforts to break the magic circle. Su Mengyao's fingers moved swiftly across the ancient book, her eyes fixed on the text, her mind working rapidly.

The power of the leader of the mysterious organization is getting stronger and stronger. The black spiritual power is constantly impacting the magic circle. The light around the magic circle begins to flicker violently and is about to be broken.

At this critical moment, Su Mengyao suddenly shouted: "I think I found a way to crack it!"

There was a hint of surprise and nervousness in her voice. She pointed at a passage in the ancient book with trembling fingers and said to Li Zhao:

"According to the records above, we need to find the core of the magic circle, and then input specific spiritual power, perhaps we can break these restrictions."

When Li Zhao heard this, his eyes lit up and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes.

He looked around and found that the core of the magic circle was right below the gem, a crystal ball emitting a faint light.

He took a deep breath, calmed his nerves, and said, "I'll distract the mysterious organization's leader. You guys take this opportunity to break the magic circle!"

After saying that, Li Zhao brandished his sword, the true energy in his body surged, and rushed towards the leader of the mysterious organization.

Seeing this, the leader of the mysterious organization sneered and went forward.

The two men fought together in an instant, sword shadows intertwined, and palm winds whistled.

Li Zhao used all his skills, and every move was made with a desperate momentum, but the leader of the mysterious organization was too powerful, and he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess quickly came to the core of the magic circle and input spiritual power according to the methods in ancient books.

After the spiritual power was injected, the restrictions around the magic circle began to loosen and the light gradually dimmed.

The mysterious organization leader discovered the intention of Li Zhao and others and became very anxious. He fought back Li Zhao with all his strength, and Li Zhao stumbled and almost fell.

The mysterious organization leader rushed towards the magic circle. Just as he was about to reach the magic circle, the monster suddenly rushed over and blocked his way. The mysterious organization leader glared at the monster and started a fierce battle with it again.

Thanks to the efforts of Su Mengyao and the Crown Princess, all the restrictions around the magic circle were broken.

Su Mengyao reached out to take the gem. The moment her hand touched the gem, it suddenly vibrated violently. Then, a cold voice sounded in the cave:

"Do you think you've won just by getting the gem? I've set a self-destruct mechanism in this gem. If you leave the magic circle, it will explode. No one can leave alive!"

Li Zhao and others' faces changed drastically. They looked at the gems in their hands, then at the enemies and traps around them, and their hearts were filled with despair.
