Under Luo Lin's relentless assault, the fluctuation of Honkai Energy on Dark Jixuanyuan's body became increasingly unstable, even her warhorse emitted a miserable neigh due to the scattered Honkai Energy!
Dark Jixuanyuan's face was filled with anger and confusion. She had no way to deal with this agile opponent. The enemy knew her inside out; every move she made, Luo Lin could predict what technique Dark Jixuanyuan would use next.
Finally, after more than a dozen exchanges, the sword strike filled with Edge of Taixuan became the last straw that broke the camel's back!
The armor shell of the armored warhorse cracked open, spraying Honkai Energy like a deflated balloon. It screamed as it fell sideways, crashing heavily to the ground, shattering into pieces!
Dark Jixuanyuan also looked uncomfortable. As a knight closely bonded with her warhorse, she suffered a considerable mental impact as well.
However, in the real world, Dark Jixuanyuan didn't collapse on the ground like in the Memorial Arena, instead, she rolled gracefully from the horse's back, dodging out of Luo Lin's attack range.
Immediately after, Dark Jixuanyuan got up, enduring the pain and dizziness, gripping her black Xuanyuan sword tightly, pointing its tip towards Luo Lin.
Luo Lin wasn't very surprised by this. She now had a clear understanding that the system environment was different from the reality of the Honkai world. The Signets that made Vill-V and Mobius excited were the most compelling evidence.
It was no big deal that Dark Jixuanyuan didn't faint after falling from her horse.
What Luo Lin was more concerned about now was Dark Jixuanyuan's origins and the situation of the seal of Chiyou.
At this moment, the Herrscher of Sentience shouted loudly in Luo Lin's mind. "Look at the black Xuanyuan sword in her hand! It's the core of the 'Anti-Honkai Energy Array', its even maintaining the operation of the entire formation!"
The Valkyrie looked solemnly at Dark Jixuanyuan not far away and asked, "Are you Jixuanyuan?"
"Oh? You know me... It seems that people from the future haven't completely forgotten about me... No, judging from your moves, you're related to Jingwei, and Jingwei hasn't forgotten about me either! But this only shows how filthy and hopeless humanity is!"
Dark Jixuanyuan unexpectedly showed a sweet smile, which appeared quite yandere-like to Luo Lin. "Clearly, I'm here to seal the monster Chiyou, which threatens humanity, but for hundreds and thousands of years, no one has bothered to maintain the seal... Only when the seal is about to be broken do they come, hahaha..."
Luo Lin's expression was peculiar.
But Jingwei really had forgotten about you...
Hearing this, the Herrscher of Sentience couldn't help but slap her forehead in exasperation. "Old fossil, why do I see your debts everywhere!?"
After laughing, Dark Jixuanyuan unexpectedly inserted her sword into the stone slab, staring at the Xuanyuan sword in her hand with dangerous eyes.
"I thought it was just a few ignorant thieves breaking into Jiuyou, thinking they could control someone's body to escape their misery and live carefree... I didn't expect to poke a hornet's nest!"
The aura around Dark Jixuanyuan suddenly became chaotic. Luo Lin observed intently, her gaze momentarily dull.
Then, Dark Jixuanyuan suddenly shouted, "Disciple of Jingwei! Quickly, kill me, I...!"
She actually slapped herself fiercely, the force so strong that even Luo Lin felt a sourness in her teeth!
"Stop yelling, I want all the humans in this world to accompany me to the grave!"
Even the Book of Fuxi was puzzled. "What's going on?"
Suddenly, Luo Lin remembered the plot in the "Xuanyuan" segment. In order to maintain the seal for a long time, Jixuanyuan had to abandon all love and hope in her heart, turning loneliness, fear, and regret into darkness, forming the individual known as "Dark Jixuanyuan."
She said in the plot: "Only hatred remains in my heart, hatred for the one I wanted to protect... hatred."
So when Dark Jixuanyuan said she wanted to make all humans in the world accompany her to the grave, she happened to have a convenient and quick way...
Release the seal, unleash Chiyou!
Luo Lin's body acted before her thoughts, her speed so fast that she kicked Dark Jixuanyuan hard.
This kick was powerful, making Dark Jixuanyuan's ongoing actions pause!
She was about to destroy the Xuanyuan sword!
The black Xuanyuan sword had already cracked open, and golden lightning crackled out, seemingly about to break directly.
In desperation, Luo Lin reached out and grabbed the blade of the Xuanyuan sword, smearing it with Honkai Energy as an emergency patch, and then fiercely kicked Dark Jixuanyuan again.
She let go, allowing the Valkyrie to grab the damaged black Xuanyuan sword. The whole person floated lightly and flew out!
Luo Lin quickly reacted.
Dark Jixuanyuan intended to use this force to escape the battlefield!
Dark Jixuanyuan laughed loudly, and a blurry figure of a warhorse condensed under her feet with Honkai Energy. Its shape was unclear, but it was enough to carry Dark Jixuanyuan away!
A series of bullets swept towards Dark Jixuanyuan, who was running away. She just sneered disdainfully, turned into a black shadow, and disappeared after a few jumps.
"Fortunately, the seal is intact..."
Luo Lin looked at the slightly trembling black Xuanyuan sword in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luo Lin! You need healing!"
Whitley ran back, looking at Luo Lin who grabbed the blade directly, cut her palm, and bled all over the ground, and asked softly, "The enemy has fled. Shall we pursue them with the three of us?"
"No, even if Dark Jixuanyuan is seriously injured, you can't beat her." Luo Lin shook her head and said, "Let's consolidate the seal first. We'll catch the turtle in the urn when reinforcements arrive..."
"Seal? Dark Jixuanyuan?"
Whitley muttered in confusion, "Has Luo Lin figured out the situation here?"
"Mostly. This sword in my hand is crucial. It..."
Before Luo Lin could finish, a loud noise came from afar!
"Bang!"
Luo Lin quickly turned her head and saw that the huge stone door that had been knocked open earlier, triggering all the traps in the cave!
Accompanied by intense fluctuations of Honkai Energy, various mechanisms in the cave began to wreak havoc!
Of course, this didn't pose a challenge to the Valkyries. After all, Whitley was the captain of the Stigmata Ruins Exploration Team. Dealing with triggered mechanisms was like a walk in the park for her. Coupled with Luo Lin's formidable strength, they easily withstood the onslaught of the activated mechanisms.
When Luo Lin and her team finally settled down, three golden lights rose from the depths of the cave, intersecting in the air, exploding into brilliant sparks.
"Buzz..."
In the faint buzzing, the activity of Honkai Energy in the cave increased rapidly, causing Luo Lin's face to change.
She slapped her thigh suddenly, "Damn, it seems there's another seal of Nian Beast stone statues over there! Dark Jixuanyuan has gone to unseal another one!"
