As soon as I put it on, I met a sickly man

Chapter 134 The Battle of Fate

A sinister laugh echoed in the lair, like the roar of a devil from hell in one's ears, making one shudder.

Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan held their weapons tightly and looked around vigilantly.

As they were searching, a tall figure slowly walked out of the darkness, followed by a group of ferocious-looking subordinates.

This person is the manipulator behind the scenes, the sinister and vicious leader of the evil forces.

"Hehehe..." The manipulator behind the scenes laughed evilly, his narrow eyes flashing with a cold light.

He was wearing a black robe, and his sleeves rustled in the cold air, making him look particularly arrogant.

His face was as pale as paper, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, which made people shudder.

"You guys, you're so stupid, how dare you trespass into my territory?" His words were full of arrogance and confidence, as if everything in front of him was under his control.

Ding Chen gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes were like torches, and he was burning with anger.

His heart was filled with hatred for this greedy villain. He took a firm step forward, glared at the manipulator behind the scenes, and said fearlessly: "You will pay for the crime you committed today!"

Xiaoxuan also tightly grasped the medicine bag in her hand, her eyes calm and sharp.

She quickly scanned her surroundings, observing the enemy's movements and looking for opportunities to exploit.

Although she is not a warrior, her wisdom and agility will provide important support to Ding Chen at critical moments.

"You useless people, come on!" The manipulator behind the scenes waved his hand and ordered his men. In an instant, more than a dozen men rushed towards Ding Chen from all directions.

Ding Chen swung his sword to meet the enemy, but the number of enemies was too large and he gradually felt exhausted.

The sword shines like a dragon, but it is difficult to completely block the enemy's attack, and every step is like walking on thin ice.

Xiaoxuan was extremely anxious when she saw this.

She wanted to rush forward to help, but was stopped by several of her men and could not get close to Ding Chen.

A feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart, but she did not give up. She quickly took out a pill from the medicine bag and prepared to use it at the critical moment.

The manipulator behind the scenes stood aside with a smug smile on his face, watching his men force Ding Chen into a desperate situation.

He slowly raised his hands, as if waiting for the final victory.

"You are such useless trash! Your status is too low, and you are destined to be just my pawns." His words were cold and ruthless, as if all this was within his expectations.

At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the other end of the nest, and a figure quickly appeared in the sight of Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan.

He held a long sword and had a firm look in his eyes. He was the person who had been rescued by Ding Chen, the mysterious helper.

He joined the battle without hesitation and helped Ding Chen repel several enemies.

"Do you think you can win like this? How naive!" The manipulator's face darkened. Chapter 135: Good vs. Evil, a Fateful Battle

A strong wind broke through the air, accompanied by the crisp sound of a sword, and a figure flashed into the battle like a ghost.

He held a long steel sword in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword directly at the enemies besieging Ding Chen, and slashed down several of them swiftly and powerfully.

This man was agile, ruthless and deadly in his attacks. He was actually the mysterious helper who had been rescued by Ding Chen before.

His appearance was like a flash of lightning, instantly tearing apart the enemy's encirclement and resolving Ding Chen's urgent problem.

Ding Chen looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar figure in front of him in astonishment, and an indescribable excitement and gratitude surged in his heart.

He recognized the young man he had rescued before, and did not expect to meet him again at such a critical moment.

His eyes were filled with surprise and emotion, but the sword in his hand did not stop at all, but became even sharper.

When the manipulator behind the scenes saw this, he didn't expect that the situation that seemed to be sure of victory would be broken by an unknown guy.

Ding Chen and the mysterious helper stood back to back. They understood each other and cooperated tacitly.

Ding Chen's swordsmanship is fierce, with wide openings and closings, pouring out like a violent storm; while the mysterious helper's swordsmanship is more agile and changeable, like a flying dragon, tricky and deadly.

The two of them, one hard and one soft, complemented each other and gradually suppressed the enemy's offensive.

Swords flashed, blades collided, and the sound of fierce fighting resounded throughout the nest, like a heroic symphony.

However, the good times did not last long. The manipulator behind the scenes slowly raised his hand, and a strong sense of oppression suddenly descended.

He moved and appeared in front of Ding Chen and the mysterious helper like a ghost. His hands flew and a powerful internal force gushed out, instantly pushing the two back several steps.

His strength is unfathomable, and every move he makes contains amazing power, making Ding Chen and the mysterious helper feel unprecedented pressure.

"Hmph, you ants, you still dare to resist." The manipulator behind the scenes spoke in a cold tone, his voice as piercing as ice, making everyone present shudder.

Xiaoxuan stood aside, frowning and anxious.

She anxiously looked at Ding Chen who was struggling, and wanted to rush forward to help, but she knew that she didn't have enough strength.

She tightly grasped the medicine bag in her hand and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, trying to find the flaw of the person behind the scenes.

Her mind raced, taking in every detail.

Suddenly, she opened her mouth as if to shout out the secret in her heart.

A flash of inspiration came to Xiaoxuan's mind, like a lighthouse suddenly lighting up in the darkness. She finally found the flaw of the manipulator behind the scenes!

Those bright eyes were filled with determination and wisdom. She raised her clear voice with a hint of urgency, "Ding Chen! His weakness is in his right shoulder! The evil magic he practiced has caused the energy meridians there to become unstable!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Chen was shocked and the sword in his hand suddenly accelerated. The tip of the sword was like a flash of lightning, pointing directly at the right shoulder of the manipulator behind the scenes.

His originally suppressed aura suddenly erupted, and his swordsmanship became even more fierce.

The manipulator behind the scenes' expression changed. He didn't expect Xiaoxuan to see through his weakness.

He instinctively wanted to dodge, but Ding Chen's sword was too fast. With a "puff", blood instantly dyed his black robe red.

The manipulator behind the scenes groaned in pain, and a sharp pain came from his right shoulder, making his whole body tremble.

His pale face became distorted, he covered his wound, his body was staggering, and he no longer had the arrogance he had just had.

He staggered back a few steps, his face as pale as paper, like a beast deprived of its claws, completely unable to resist.

"Ah! Damn it, you...how dare you..." The manipulator behind the scenes roared unwillingly, but his voice was weak and powerless, and no longer had the deterrent power it had before.

Seeing this, Ding Chen gasped and gripped his sword tightly. The mysterious helper also waved the sword excitedly, with a long-lost smile on his face.

The crisis was resolved, the air was filled with the smell of blood and gunpowder, and Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan hugged each other tightly.

Their heartbeats were so synchronized that they seemed to be one, and the warmth from each other dispelled the chill brought by the battle.

Ding Chen hugged Xiaoxuan tightly and whispered in her ear: "Thank you, Xiaoxuan, you are so smart!" Xiaoxuan also hugged Ding Chen tightly with a relieved smile on her face. Her heart was full of love for Ding Chen.

Ding Chen turned around and looked at the mysterious helper with gratitude. He stepped forward and said solemnly, "If it weren't for your help today, we would have already..."

The mysterious helper quickly waved his hands with a shy smile on his face, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. You saved me, so naturally I have to repay you." After that, he looked around, as if he had something to say, but in the end he said nothing. He just walked away silently, and his figure soon disappeared into the darkness.

The air gradually returned to calm, leaving only the faint sound of wind and the calls of a few unknown birds.

The originally eerie and terrifying nest seemed to have shed its hideous veil and became calm and peaceful again.

Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan smiled at each other. They knew that it was all over and they had overcome the difficulties again.

However, just as they were about to leave, they discovered a deep passage at the end of the nest, and a mysterious and strange atmosphere emanated from the entrance of the passage.

Ding Chen and Xiaoxuan looked at each other, their eyes full of confusion and curiosity. They walked cautiously towards the mysterious passage.
