I walk sideways in the game world

Chapter 180: Leveraging the Power of the Trap to Defeat the Enemy

"Boom——"

The boulder roared, as if a sleeping giant had been awakened. Ren Xiaoyao felt a surge of force coming from his palm, causing his blood to surge. However, he paid no attention to it and instead revealed a relieved smile.

"Stop him quickly!" The Poison King roared and rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao first. Other masters followed closely behind him, and various moves came like a storm.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin shouted anxiously, but was stopped by Taoist Xuanfeng, "Miss Xia Lin, please don't go over there, or you might get hurt by mistake."

Ren Xiaoyao was surrounded at this time, but he did not linger in the fight. Instead, he used the intricate stone pillars and mechanisms around him to flexibly dodge the attacks, while moving step by step towards the secret treasure.

Seeing this, Nun Emei's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, and she ordered the disciples behind her, "You guys, go stop him! Everyone else, follow me and attack!"

Several Emei disciples took the order and immediately drew their swords, forming a sword formation and attacking Ren Xiaoyao. Although these Emei disciples were not as skilled as the more established masters, they coordinated well and their sword formation advanced and retreated in a measured manner, blocking Ren Xiaoyao's path for a while.

Ren Xiaoyao was entangled by the Emei disciples, and inevitably suffered several more scars on his body, but he didn't care, his eyes remained firm. He knew that he was now racing against time. As long as he could successfully activate the mechanism, he could turn the tide.

He seized an opportunity and passed through the sword formation like a ghost, heading straight for the secret treasure. Seeing this, Nun Emei was shocked and quickly swung her sword to stab Ren Xiaoyao in the back.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin exclaimed, but saw that Ren Xiaoyao seemed to have eyes on his back. He slightly tilted his body and barely avoided the fatal blow from Master Emei.

After dodging the attack, Ren Xiaoyao continued to rush towards the secret treasure without stopping. The masters behind him were temporarily kept at a distance because of the obstruction of the Emei disciples.

Seeing Ren Xiaoyao getting closer and closer to the secret treasure, the leader of Qingcheng was extremely anxious. He knew that if Ren Xiaoyao successfully activated the mechanism, all their efforts today would be in vain.

Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed in the eyes of the Qingcheng Sect Leader. He rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao recklessly, shouting, "Get out of my way!"

Seeing this, everyone stepped aside and made way for the leader of Qingcheng.

The leader of Qingcheng was extremely fast and came behind Ren Xiaoyao in a flash. The long sword in his hand was filled with sharp sword energy and pierced Ren Xiaoyao's back.

Ren Xiaoyao was almost approaching the secret treasure at this time and had no time to pay attention to the attack behind him.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin exclaimed and wanted to remind Ren Xiaoyao, but it was too late.

At the critical moment, Ren Xiaoyao's body seemed to be pulled by some force, and he moved a few steps to the side uncontrollably...

"Not good!" The Qingcheng Sect Leader's face changed drastically, because he found that he had actually rushed into the range of the trap...

"Click——"

The head of the Qingcheng Sect felt his feet go empty, and before he could react, a huge iron cage dropped from the sky and trapped him. The cage was covered with sharp spikes, shining coldly, making people shudder.

"Damn it!" The head of Qingcheng roared and swung his sword, but he found that the iron cage was made of some unknown material, but it was extremely hard. No matter how hard he tried, he could not shake it at all.

"Haha, old man Qingcheng, you've finally met your end!" The Poison King laughed heartily upon seeing this, but he grew even more alert. This trap was so subtle that it would easily lead to a fall. It seemed he would have to find another way to get close to Ren Xiaoyao.

The Poison King's eyes swiveled as a plan came to mind. He dodged, avoiding everyone's sight and darting in another direction. He decided to bypass the obvious traps and attack Ren Xiaoyao from the side.

Xia Lin had been closely monitoring the surroundings, so the Poison King's actions naturally caught her eye. "Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" she shouted anxiously. "The Poison King is trying to go around to the left!"

Ren Xiaoyao understood immediately after hearing this. While dodging the attacks from Nun Emei and the others, he slightly turned the secret treasure in his hand.

"Rumble--"

A loud, earth-shaking noise was heard, and a huge crack suddenly appeared in the ground, right in the path of the Poison King. The Poison King was unable to dodge, slipped, and fell.

"Ah——" The Poison King let out a scream and then there was no movement.

"Poison King!" Nun Emei exclaimed, her face suddenly turning grim. Originally, their side had overwhelming superiority in numbers, but now, with the Qingcheng Sect Leader and the Poison King trapped, the situation had suddenly reversed.

Taking advantage of everyone's moment of distraction, Ren Xiaoyao finally arrived in front of the secret treasure. He took a deep breath and slowly placed the secret treasure into the groove on the stone platform...

"Xiaoyao, give me your life!"

Taoist Xuanfeng and Sword Maniac exchanged a glance, seized the opportunity, and simultaneously launched an attack on Ren Xiaoyao...

Taoist Xuanfeng roared, and the whisk in his hand transformed into afterimages, stabbing at Ren Xiaoyao's vital points like a venomous snake. Sword Maniac followed closely behind, his sharp sword energy slicing through the air, heading straight for Ren Xiaoyao's chest.

Ren Xiaoyao did not dare to be careless. He waved the sword in his hand to resist the attacks of the two men, while slowly retreating, his eyes constantly scanning the surrounding environment, looking for any mechanism that could be used.

"Brother Xiaoyao, be careful!" Xia Lin anxiously warned from the side, waving pink smoke in her hands, trying to distract Taoist Xuanfeng and Sword Maniac. However, these two were both top masters in the martial arts world, so how could they be fooled by such a trick?

Ren Xiaoyao fought and retreated, and soon retreated to the center of the hall, where a huge stone pillar stood. The stone pillar was carved with ancient and mysterious patterns, and an invisible pressure emanated from it, making people afraid.

"It's here!" Ren Xiaoyao said in his heart. He felt that this stone pillar was not simple at all and might be the key to controlling all the surrounding mechanisms.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" Taoist Xuanfeng saw Ren Xiaoyao's intention, sneered, and shook the whisk in his hand. Dozens of silver needles mixed with a sharp gust of wind shot towards Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao did not dare to delay. He dodged most of the silver needles with a sway of his body, but two silver needles still pierced his shoulder and arm respectively.

"Brother Xiaoyao!" Xia Lin exclaimed and hurried forward to check Ren Xiaoyao's injuries.

"I'm fine!" Ren Xiaoyao gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and pressed the secret treasure in his hand hard into a groove on the stone pillar!

The entire hall shook violently, and the ancient patterns on the stone pillars suddenly burst into dazzling light. A powerful force gushed out from the stone pillars, instantly enveloping the entire hall.

"Not good!" Taoist Xuanfeng and Jianchi's faces changed drastically. They felt an invisible force imprisoning them and unable to move.

"what--"

"Help--"

There were bursts of exclamations and screams coming from all around. Nun Emei and other people from the martial arts world who were originally struggling with those mechanical puppets were also swept up in this powerful force and flew towards the stone pillar involuntarily.

"Brother Xiaoyao, let's go!" Xia Lin pulled Ren Xiaoyao's hand and ran towards the other side of the stone pillar.

Ren Xiaoyao didn't dare to stop. He followed Xia Lin and ran all the way. Finally, before the power of the stone pillar was fully released, they escaped from the central area of the hall.

When they turned around, they saw that the originally magnificent hall had been shrouded in a dazzling light, and they could not see anything clearly.

"We succeeded?" Xia Lin muttered to herself as she looked at the shocking scene in front of her.

Ren Xiaoyao shook his head and said solemnly, "No, not yet..."

Before he could finish his words, he heard a deafening roar suddenly coming from the dazzling light, as if it came from an ancient ferocious beast, which was creepy.

"Roar--"

The roar grew louder and louder, as if it would shatter one's eardrums. The masters of various factions trapped in the light no longer cared about fighting for the secret treasure, but instead used all their skills to try to break the strange formation.

Taoist Xuanfeng swung his whisk into an impenetrable barrier, blocking the fierce winds from all around. Nun Emei summoned a bronze mirror, its surface reflecting a dazzling light, attempting to dispel the fog before her eyes. The head of the Qingcheng Sect released dozens of poisonous insects, which scurried around in the light, searching for a flaw in the formation...

"Brother Xiaoyao, those people seem to be trapped!" Xia Lin looked at the people struggling in the light, with a hint of excitement in her tone.

"Don't take it lightly," Ren Xiaoyao said solemnly, "Although this mechanism is powerful, it may not be able to trap them for long. We must get the secret treasure as soon as possible and leave here!"

Xia Lin nodded, and the two of them cautiously walked towards the center of the hall. Along the way, they saw various mechanisms being triggered: sharp blades ejected from the walls, scorching flames gushed from the ground, and countless hidden arrows shot out from all directions...

Ren Xiaoyao relied on his extraordinary reaction speed and observation of the terrain to escape danger time and time again, and took Xia Lin through the gaps in the mechanisms.

"Be careful!" Ren Xiaoyao grabbed Xia Lin and protected her behind him. A thick iron chain fell from the sky and hit the ground heavily, stirring up a cloud of dust.

"Brother Xiaoyao, your injury..." Xia Lin looked at the blood oozing from Ren Xiaoyao's arm, her eyes full of worry.

"I'm fine," Ren Xiaoyao shook his head, his eyes determined, "Let's keep going!"

The two continued forward, finally arriving just a few steps away from the secret treasure. However, at that moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shook slightly, as if something was about to break out of the earth...
