Chapter 116: The Strength of the Lingyun Squad

"You've arrived?" Lingyun arrived before the Labyrinth Area, and Luo Yexi and the others were already waiting for him there.

"We were already here doing a quest, so of course we're faster than you!" said Luo Yexi.

"Alright, let's go. Saving people is the priority!" Lingyun added the others to his party and was the first to walk into the Labyrinth Area.

"Ruoxi, can you pinpoint Kirito's location?" Lingyun contacted Ruoxi, who was in the Cloud Realm.

"No problem!" Ruoxi sensed for a moment and pointed out the direction of Kirito's location to Lingyun.

This ability was something Ruoxi had just acquired a while ago; after communicating with this world, she had obtained partial control over it. Of course, to gain this ability, Ruoxi had also paid a certain price: she had to divert a portion of the Cloud Realm's power to suppress the power of the Underworld King of the End located on the hundredth floor. Compared to the power of the Underworld King of the End, which was like duckweed without roots, the power of the Cloud Realm possessed a powerful backing and was clearly the best choice for suppressing the power of the Underworld King of the End.

"Let's go!" Under Ruoxi's guidance, Lingyun and the others quickly found the door to the hidden room where Kirito was located.

Lingyun pressed his hand against the door, but the door did not react in the slightest.

"Can't get in?" Lingyun frowned slightly.

After thinking for a moment, Lingyun raised his Long sword: "Ruoxi, help me break open this door!"

Although in the game, the map could not be destroyed, in this world that had become a Semi-plane, destroying the map was not impossible; the key was whether you had the power to do so. Lingyun naturally did not have this power right now, but by borrowing Ruoxi's power, he could achieve it through a shortcut; after all, Ruoxi was now an existence that controlled a portion of this world's power.

"Open for me!" A golden light flared on the blade of Lingyun's sword, and then he struck the tightly shut door heavily.

With a loud "Boom—", countless cracks appeared on the door, and then it exploded into countless seven-colored fragments that vanished into the Void.

Inside the room, Kirito's attacks were already showing signs of flagging. If she were the only one here, dealing with the monsters would be a piece of cake for her. However, with Tetsuo and the others behind her, Kirito had to divert a portion of her attention to ensure they weren't killed by the monsters while she fought off those surrounding her, which greatly increased her pressure.

"I can't hold on much longer. Lingyun, if you don't come soon, we're going to be done for here!" Kirito forcefully slashed a monster to pieces, a flash of exhaustion crossing her eyes.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't said I opened the chest, everyone wouldn't have fallen into this dangerous situation." Behind Kirito, Ducker was very self-reproachful.

"If only our strength could be stronger, Kirito wouldn't have fallen into this dangerous situation to protect us." Tetsuo's expression was also very downcast.

Just as Tetsuo and the other two were falling into despair, a violent roaring sound came from the direction of the previously tightly shut door, and then that door turned into fragments filling the sky in an instant.

"What, what is this situation?" Tetsuo said with some surprise.

Just as the three of them were astonished, a flash of excitement crossed Kirito's eyes.

An Ice Arrow flew from outside the door toward Kirito's direction and then exploded. The monsters around Kirito were instantly covered in a layer of white frost, and their movements slowed down in an instant.

"Watch the sword!" Following the Ice Arrow was a figure as fast as a gale. This figure instantly rushed from the doorway to Kirito's side, her form like a swimming dragon, bypassing all the monsters blocking the path. One could see the Long sword in her hand was as fast as a gale, trailing afterimages as it stabbed heavily into the monsters surrounding Kirito.

In just an instant, several wounds appeared on each monster, and then they exploded into fragments.

"Yuuki?" Seeing clearly who had arrived, Kirito couldn't help but let out a soft cry. Clearly, she hadn't expected the first person to appear before her to be Yuuki.

In the moment of Kirito's surprise, Lingyun and the others also stepped into the room. The monsters in the room discovered that more outsiders had appeared and immediately split off a portion to rush toward Lingyun and the others.

"Alice, Saeko, you go support Kirito. Everyone else, clear out the monsters here with me!" Lingyun said.

"Okay!" Alice and Saeko nodded slightly and rushed toward Kirito's direction, while Luo Yexi and Lingqi, who were beside Lingyun, also took their stances and engaged the rushing monsters.

The monsters blocking the path between Lingyun and Kirito were no different from paper to Saeko. Sharp blade lights flew toward the monsters ahead as she swung her Samurai Sword, and every monster struck by the blade light turned into fragments amidst wails.

Beside Saeko, Alice once again demonstrated the power of a mage as a mobile turret. Sharp spells flew from her hands, tearing groups of monsters into fragments, burning them to ashes, or freezing them into ice sculptures.

With such powerful firepower, Saeko and Alice quickly arrived at Kirito's side, blocking the monsters that were swarming in from all directions for her. With Saeko and the others sharing the pressure, Kirito also breathed a slight sigh of relief; after all, dealing with so many monsters alone was quite strenuous for her.

"Break for me!" Hearing Luo Yexi give a cold shout, the Long sword in her hand bloomed with golden-red light, and then she swung it, slicing all the monsters in front of her into two halves.

Behind Lingyun, the corners of Lingqi's mouth curled into a bloodthirsty smile. Gripping the gun in her hand tightly, she pulled the trigger repeatedly, and bullet after bullet flew out, blasting the monsters to pieces.

Lingyun had already charged into the monster horde alone, the Long sword in his hand tracing mysterious trajectories, always launching fatal strikes against these monsters from the most unexpected places. Before him, monster after monster turned into fragments, yet these monsters couldn't even touch the hem of Lingyun's clothes.

"Hah!" Lingyun let out a sharp shout, and the Long sword in his hand instantly erupted with a sheet of sword light, slicing all the monsters in the area ahead into fragments.

"Is, is this the strength of the legendary God Squad?" In the corner, Tetsuo and his group stared dumbfounded at the figures of Lingyun and the others slaughtering their way through the monster horde.

Although they had long heard that the God Squad led by Lingyun possessed strength that could be called heaven-defying, they were still filled with shock when they saw it for real. They couldn't help but doubt whether the monsters currently being crushed one-sidedly were the same Labyrinth Area monsters that had easily forced them into a desperate situation, or the kind of initial mobs from the first floor used for grinding experience.

Under the powerful crushing force of Lingyun and his group, all the monsters in this room turned into fragments and disappeared, and the originally scarlet-red room had already turned back to its initial blue. The monsters that had easily wiped out the Moonlit Black Cats in the original story became nothingness under the powerful slaughter of Lingyun and his group.

"This time, it really is thanks to your arrival!" Kirito wiped the sweat from her forehead and said softly to Lingyun.

"It's nothing. Just be more careful in the future. Various traps and dangerous areas emerge one after another in the Labyrinth Areas of this world; we can't possibly rush over to support you in time every single time," Lingyun said with a serious face.

"Understood, I will be careful in the future!" Behind Kirito, Ducker said in a low voice. He felt very guilty that his greed had almost killed the other members of the party.

"It's okay, we won't blame you," Sasamaru comforted him from the side. "As long as this kind of thing doesn't happen again in the future, it'll be fine."

"I will remember this lesson!" Ducker clenched his fists and said in a deep voice.
