Inside the room, the mountain-like colossal figure of the Treasure Guardian radiated a bone-chilling pressure, its crimson eyes staring fixedly at everyone as if appraising a group of overconfident ants.
Lin Feng took a deep breath and said to Liu Yan, "Yan'er, don't be afraid. Let's attack together." Liu Yan nodded firmly, gripping the short sword in her hand tightly.
Lin Feng took the initiative to launch an attack. His figure was like lightning as he instantly leaped in front of the Guardian, thrusting his long sword forward fiercely. A fierce sword qi whistled through the air, heading straight for the Guardian's chest. However, the Guardian merely waved its arm lightly, shattering the sword qi into nothingness.
Taking the opportunity, Liu Yan slipped around to the Guardian's back, her short sword gleaming with cold light as she stabbed at its waist. But the Guardian's body seemed like copper walls and iron ramparts; Liu Yan's short sword could not pierce it by even a fraction of an inch.
Enraged by the duo's attack, the Guardian let out a roar toward the heavens, spewing a stream of black flames from its mouth. With quick eyes and nimble hands, Lin Feng grabbed Liu Yan and retreated rapidly, dodging the deadly flames.
"Continuing like this won't work. We must find its weakness!" Lin Feng shouted loudly.
Liu Yan replied, "Big Brother Lin, look, its left eye seems to have been injured before. Perhaps that is its weakness."
Hearing this, Lin Feng charged at the Guardian once more, deliberately drawing its attention. The Guardian attacked Lin Feng frantically, every single blow imbued with immense force. Lin Feng dodged left and right, finding himself in constant peril.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Guardian's attention was entirely focused on Lin Feng, Liu Yan quietly closed in on its left side. When she was close enough to the Guardian, she suddenly exerted force, leaped up, and thrust toward the Guardian's left eye.
The Guardian sensed Liu Yan's intent and tried to stop her, but Lin Feng entangled it tightly, leaving it no time to spare.
Liu Yan's short sword finally struck the Guardian's left eye, and the Guardian let out a roar of agony. Its attacks grew even more frantic, and the entire room teetered on the verge of collapse under its rampage.
"Yan'er, fall back quickly!" Lin Feng shouted.
Liu Yan retreated swiftly, reuniting with Lin Feng.
At this moment, the other martial artists also joined the battle one after another. Elder Yun unleashed a powerful martial skill, a beam of light shooting toward the Guardian like a sharp sword. The other martial artists also displayed their prowess, the lights of various martial skills intertwining to illuminate the entire room.
Under everyone's concerted assault, the Guardian gradually fell into a disadvantageous position. Yet it still resisted tenaciously, refusing to go down easily.
Lin Feng and Liu Yan rushed forward once more, engaging the Guardian in a desperate life-or-death struggle.
Lin Feng's long sword continuously left wounds on the Guardian's body, while Liu Yan coordinated with Lin Feng, launching attacks time and time again.
Unable to hold on any longer, the Guardian's massive physique slowly collapsed to the ground.
Everyone was so exhausted that they collapsed on the floor, panting heavily.
Lin Feng and Liu Yan supported each other, grateful smiles blooming on their faces.
"Big Brother Lin, we did it," Liu Yan said weakly.
Lin Feng nodded. "Indeed, we owe it all to everyone pulling together."
Right at that moment, a mysterious light suddenly appeared in the room, and that peerless treasure slowly emerged.
The treasure radiated powerful energy fluctuations, stunning everyone present.
Elder Yun stepped forward and said, "This treasure is an ancient relic. It contains immense power, but it also comes with unknown dangers."
Looking at the treasure, a strong surge of yearning welled up in Lin Feng's heart.
"Yan'er, perhaps this treasure can elevate our strength to the next level."
Liu Yan said, "Big Brother Lin, be careful in everything."
Lin Feng walked slowly toward the treasure. The instant his hand touched it, a powerful surge of energy poured into his body.
His body emitted a dazzling light, and his cultivation realm began to rise rapidly.
Ninth Layer Peak of Martial Warrior Realm... breaking through to the First Layer of Martial Master Realm... Second Layer of Martial Master Realm...
It did not stop until it reached the Third Layer of Martial Master Realm.
Liu Yan stood to the side, feeling both pleasantly surprised and anxious.
"Big Brother Lin, how do you feel?"
Lin Feng opened his eyes, feeling the formidable power surging within him, and said, "Yan'er, I have never felt this strong before."
Everyone was overjoyed at Lin Feng's breakthrough.
However, little did they know, an even greater crisis was quietly descending...
