Me? I was transported into a book? And I became a vicious villain?

"Brother Yichen, what happened?" Chu Mengmeng was dragged by Xiao Yichen and ran wildly in the intricate underground passage, her heart full of confusion.

"Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er are in danger, we have to rescue them quickly!" Xiao Yichen said in a hurried tone, and it was obvious that the situation was critical.

Chu Mengmeng was shocked, and didn't bother to ask any more questions, and ran with Xiao Yichen. The two quickly returned to the previous hall, but found that Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er had been forced into a corner, and the leader of the remaining enemy forces was approaching step by step with a cruel smile on his face.

"Hmph, you think you can stop me with just a bunch of defeated soldiers like you?" The man spoke with contempt, his eyes full of disdain.

Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er stood back to back. Both of them were injured and their spiritual power was exhausted, but their eyes were still firm.

"Even if it takes our last breath, we will stop you!" Su Mubai said gritting his teeth, the long sword in his hand flickering with a faint light, as if it would go out at any time.

At this critical moment, a dazzling golden light suddenly shot up from the depths of the underground space, and a powerful energy wave instantly swept the entire hall. The man's face changed, and he turned his head sharply to look in the direction where the golden light came from, with a flash of horror in his eyes.

"what happened?"

"Mengmeng, you succeeded?" When Xiao Yichen saw the golden light, a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face.

Chu Mengmeng was seen holding an ancient long sword, slowly walking out of the passage. The long sword emitted a dazzling golden light, illuminating her delicate face and the ancient and mysterious runes behind her. These runes seemed to come alive, flying and circling in the air, and finally gathered on the long sword, bursting out even more powerful energy.

“This is…” The man felt this powerful energy and suddenly felt uneasy.

"This is the power of the ancient artifact!" Chu Mengmeng's eyes were firm and her tone was full of confidence. "I finally understand that only the heart of the guardian can awaken its true power!"

It turned out that before being pulled away by Xiao Yichen, Chu Mengmeng suddenly realized the secret of the ancient ruins. She realized that this artifact was not a simple weapon, but a symbol of the guardian's faith. Only those who have a guardian's heart can truly control its power.

Chu Mengmeng raised her sword high, and the golden light instantly illuminated the entire underground space. A powerful energy wave spread out from her center. The man was caught off guard and was hit by this powerful energy wave. He groaned and took several steps back.

"Damn it!" The man's face turned pale, his eyes filled with anger and unwillingness.

"Mengmeng, are you okay?" Xiao Yichen hurried to Chu Mengmeng and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, Brother Yichen." Chu Mengmeng shook her head and turned to look at Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er, "Let's go help them now!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yichen nodded, his eyes filled with hope.

Chu Mengmeng held the magic weapon in her hand and walked towards the enemy step by step. The golden light dragged a long shadow behind her, as if she was a god descending to earth, unstoppable.

At this moment, deeper in the underground space, a mysterious altar is slowly starting up, and a more evil force is quietly awakening...

The golden light was like the light of dawn, dispelling the despair and fear that filled the hall. The flame of hope rekindled in Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er's eyes, which had been filled with despair.

"Mengmeng, you actually did it!" Lin Wan'er looked at Chu Mengmeng bathed in golden light, her eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

Chu Mengmeng smiled at them, then raised the sword in her hand high. The golden light suddenly became more dazzling, and the ancient runes danced in the air like elves, and finally turned into golden streams, pouring into the weapons in Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er's hands.

The weapons, which had been dull and lusterless, instantly regained their former sharpness under the infusion of golden light, and were even more powerful than before. Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er could clearly feel that a strong energy was continuously flowing from the weapons into their bodies, repairing their injuries and replenishing their consumed spiritual power.

"This... this is simply amazing!" Su Mubai held the sword in his hand, feeling the powerful force contained in it, and couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This is the power of the artifact, and the power of the guardian's faith!" Chu Mengmeng looked at them, her eyes full of determination and confidence, "As long as we unite as one, we will be able to defeat the enemy and protect our city!"

"That's right, protect our city!" Su Mubai and Lin Wan'er looked at each other, their eyes full of determination and fighting spirit.

"It's time to fight back!" Xiao Yichen looked at the morale-boosting crowd and shouted, "Fight for our city, for our homeland!"

"fighting!"

The deafening roar resounded throughout the underground space, and the city guardians, led by Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, launched a counterattack. The weapons in their hands flashed with golden light, like golden lightning, tearing through the enemy's line with great force.

The leader of the remaining enemy forces looked extremely unhappy as he saw the situation reversed. He roared and commanded his men to fight back, but facing the city guardians with the power of the artifact, their resistance seemed pale and powerless.

Fierce street fighting unfolded in the intricate underground passages, with shouts of killing, weapons colliding, and spiritual power explosions echoing in the underground space for a long time. Under the leadership of Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen, the city defenders relied on the power of the artifact to recover the lost territory step by step and forced the enemy into a desperate situation.

However, just when the balance of victory was about to completely tip over to the city guardians, a creepy whisper suddenly came from the depths of the underground space, as if a demon from ancient times was slowly awakening...

 The Legend of Chu Xiao Chapter 75: Survival from Despair

The whispers echoed in the underground space like ghosts, making people shudder. Su Mubai, Lin Wan'er and others' faces suddenly changed. They also felt the fear from the depths of their souls.

"What's that sound?" Lin Wan'er clenched the sword in her hand, her voice trembling slightly.

"Is it the reinforcements from an unknown enemy?" Su Mubai frowned, an ominous premonition rising in his heart.

Just as everyone was in doubt, a dazzling light suddenly burst out from the depths of the ancient ruins. Ancient runes streaked across like meteors, illuminating the entire underground space. Then, several figures slowly walked out of the light. They were wearing ancient armor, holding weapons that emitted powerful spiritual energy fluctuations, and their eyes were firm and majestic.

"It's the guardian of the ancient ruins!" Chu Mengmeng shouted in surprise, with a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

The guardians of the ancient ruins are the oldest beings on this land. They possess great power and a firm will to protect this land. At the critical moment, they finally showed up.

"Lord Guardian, please lend us a hand and eliminate these invaders!" Xiao Yichen bowed to the leading guardian.

"It is our duty to protect the city!" The leading guardian spoke in a deep and powerful voice. He raised the spear in his hand and pointed it in the direction of the remaining enemy forces. "All guardians, listen to my command and eliminate the invaders!"

"kill!"

The guardians of the ancient ruins joined the battle, they were like divine soldiers descending from the sky, unstoppable. The powerful spiritual power fluctuations swept across the entire underground space like a raging storm, and the remaining enemy forces were as vulnerable as ants in front of the guardians.

The guardians not only possessed powerful strength, but were also proficient in various formations and prohibitions. They worked together to cast a huge golden barrier that enveloped the entire battlefield. Inside the barrier, ancient runes flowed, emitting a powerful force of suppression. The remaining enemy forces became extremely slow in their movements, and their attacks lost their accuracy.

Under the joint attack of the city defenders and the guardians of the ancient ruins, the remaining enemy forces were defeated step by step and finally defeated. They abandoned their weapons and fled in panic, disappearing in the intricate underground passages.

Looking at the fleeing enemy, Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen did not relax their vigilance. They knew in their hearts that this battle was just the beginning and a greater crisis was yet to come.

"Although we have won this battle, we cannot let our guard down." Xiao Yichen looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "The remaining enemy forces are just the tip of the iceberg. The real mastermind has not yet appeared."

"That's right, we must find out the enemy's true purpose as soon as possible and be prepared to respond." Chu Mengmeng nodded in agreement.

At this moment, the leading guardian walked up to Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen. He looked at the two of them with an inexplicable light in his eyes, "You have done very well, but the next step is the real test."

"A bigger test?" Chu Mengmeng and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, feeling uneasy. "Master Guardian, what do you mean by that?"

The guardian did not answer their questions directly, but looked up into the depths of the underground space, where some unknown secrets seemed to be hidden. "The enemy's true purpose is far more terrifying than you can imagine..."

As soon as he finished speaking, a deafening roar suddenly came from deep underground, and the entire space began to tremble violently, as if some terrifying existence was about to break out of the ground...
