"It's really tough!" Dai Shiya cursed and retreated again, narrowly avoiding a sharp blade.
Cold sweat slid down her temples, soaking the broken hair on her forehead.
The attack method of this group of killers was strange and unpredictable, as if they could predict her every move, leaving her with no place to use her strength.
Their movements were as light as ghosts, appearing and disappearing in the dim night, and the weapons in their hands flashed with a cold light. Every swing was a deadly threat.
Dai Shiya tried to fight back, but found that their moves were flawless and as difficult to break as a copper wall.
Every punch she threw was like hitting cotton, with no force point.
"Their movements... are like some kind of ancient martial arts." Her husband's voice came from behind her, with a hint of solemnity.
His offensive was also blocked. Although he was extraordinary, he could not break through the killers' defense line.
Wei Qing's face also became extremely solemn. The dagger in her hand flew, but she could not get close to the killers.
"They are too fast, and they seem to be able to predict our attack."
The encirclement was getting smaller and smaller, and the oppressive atmosphere was like an invisible net, tightly binding Dai Shiya and others.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood, as if the breath of the god of death had arrived.
Dai Shiya could feel her heartbeat getting faster and faster, and her breathing became rapid.
The shadows of the surrounding trees swayed in the night wind, like a demon with bared fangs and claws, making a creepy rustling sound.
The weapons in the hands of the killers flashed cold light, like the sickle of the god of death, ready to reap their lives at any time.
Dai Shiya felt her hands and feet begin to numb, and a cold sense of fear spread from the bottom of her heart, like a poisonous snake, tightly wrapped around her heart.
"This can't go on..." Dai Shiya gritted her teeth, stared at the killers, and her brain was working fast, trying to find their flaws.
Suddenly, she noticed a detail - these killers seemed to always keep a special rhythm when they moved...
"Wait," Dai Shiya suddenly said, "Their steps..."
Dai Shiya's eyes were fixed on the killers' moving feet. Their steps seemed messy, but they hid a strange rhythm, like some ancient sacrificial dance, rigid, but strange and unpredictable.
"Their steps... are fixed!" Dai Shiya's voice trembled slightly because of excitement, and a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, "Although their body movements are extremely fast, their flexibility is limited by their steps!"
After hearing this, her husband and Wei Qing immediately understood what Dai Shiya meant.
They also began to observe the killers' actions carefully, and indeed found the rules.
Every attack and every dodge of the killers strictly followed a certain preset trajectory, like a machine with a set program.
"In other words, as long as we can break their rhythm..." Wei Qing
Dai Shiya took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in her heart, and her eyes burned with a raging fighting spirit.
She no longer passively defended, but took the initiative to attack. Her figure was as erratic as a ghost. She no longer followed conventional fighting techniques, but specifically attacked the gaps between the killers' steps.
"Hah!" Dai Shiya shouted, and a sharp whip kick hit a killer's ribs.
There was a crisp "click" sound, and the killer screamed, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string.
With a breakthrough, her husband and Wei Qing immediately changed their tactics, and their attacks poured out like a storm.
The killers' formation was instantly disrupted, and the originally impeccable defense also had loopholes.
Blood splattered, screams came one after another, the originally oppressive atmosphere was broken, and a ray of hope illuminated the dark night sky.
In the distance, the mastermind behind the scenes who was hiding in the dark saw this scene and his face became extremely gloomy.
"A bunch of trash!" He cursed, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, "It seems that I can only use the last trump card..."
He held a black crystal ball in his hand, and the surface of the crystal ball flashed with a strange light, as if it contained some powerful power.
He raised the crystal ball above his head, muttering something, and an invisible force surged out like a tide, sweeping towards Dai Shiya and others.
Dai Shiya suddenly felt dizzy, and the surrounding scenery began to distort and deform, as if she had entered a bizarre dream.
An inexplicable sense of fear surged from the bottom of her heart, tightly grasping her heart, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.
"What is this..." Dai Shiya gritted her teeth and tried to stay awake, but she felt that her consciousness was gradually being devoured.
Her husband's voice came from a distance, with a hint of pain and struggle: "Shiya... Be careful... This is... mental control..."
Wei Qing's voice also became intermittent and full of fear: "My... head... hurts..."
Dai Shiya's heart sank, and a cold chill rushed from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.
"Not good..."
Dai Shiya bit her tongue tightly, and a bloody taste spread in her mouth. The severe pain made her briefly regain a trace of clarity.
She could feel that the power that tried to devour her consciousness was like a sticky venom, frantically eroding her will.
She tried her best to resist, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, powerless.
But she was not someone who gave up easily.
In her mind, a voice was roaring, unwillingness, anger, and a strong desire to survive, intertwined into a powerful force to fight against the strange erosion.
She tried to mobilize a special power in her body, an indescribable energy from the depths of her soul.
She closed her eyes and guided this power, like a trickle, slowly flowing through the meridians, and finally converging in her mind.
"Ah!" Dai Shiya let out a low roar, and an invisible force burst out from her body, turning into an invisible barrier to keep the mental control power out.
Not only that, this power is still growing and starting to erode in the opposite direction, like a surging tide, counterattacking the black crystal ball.
The mastermind behind the scenes in the distance turned pale in an instant, and the crystal ball in his hand began to tremble violently, making a harsh buzzing sound.
He could feel that the "trump card" he had worked hard to build was being backfired by a powerful force.
He widened his eyes in horror and looked in the direction of Dai Shiya in disbelief, as if he had seen something incredible.
"This... How is this possible?" The mastermind's tone was full of shock and fear. He could feel that the connection between him and the crystal ball was being cut off, and the power he had spent a lot of energy to cultivate was being lost bit by bit.
He tightly grasped the crystal ball in his hand, his knuckles turned white because of the force, and his face was full of unwillingness and anger.
Dai Shiya slowly opened her eyes, with a confident light flashing in her eyes.
She could feel that the power of mental control had disappeared, replaced by an unprecedented sense of control. The corners of
her mouth rose slightly, outlining a confident smile, like a proud queen, looking down at her prey.
"It seems that your trump card is just like this." There was a hint of sarcasm in Dai Shiya's tone. She could feel the surge of the powerful force in her body, a force that made her excited.
At this moment, she felt that she fell into a warm embrace, and her husband hugged her tightly and protected her behind him.
He exuded a familiar breath, which made her feel very relieved.
She raised her head and looked into her husband's deep eyes. Both of them were full of concern and love. In the tense battle, an ambiguous atmosphere spread between them.
Wei Qing also took the opportunity to get rid of the shackles of mental control. She gasped heavily and held the dagger tightly in her hand.
"It seems that it's time for us to fight back." Wei Qing wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and looked coldly at the mastermind behind the scenes in the distance.
Dai Shiya slowly pushed her husband away, and her eyes were cast on the mastermind behind the scenes in the distance again. A faint smile appeared on her face. She slowly said: "What tricks do you have? Just use them."
The mastermind looked at Dai Shiya, his face twisted into a ball. He clenched his fists and let out a low roar: "I won't lose..."
Dai Shiya was not overwhelmed by the victory. She carefully recalled the source of the power just now, the energy deeply rooted in the soul, as if it was an innate instinct.
She closed her eyes and tried to mobilize it again.
This time, she was no longer simply guiding it, but trying to understand and control it.
She felt that this power was like a dormant dragon. Once awakened, it would have the power to destroy the world.
She could feel the workings of the mind control power, as if she had glimpsed its essence - it was like a sophisticated program that interfered with people's consciousness through special frequencies and vibrations.
"So that's it!" Dai Shiya suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes flashing with excitement. She had found a way to crack it.
She tried to release the power from the depths of her soul at the opposite frequency, like a sophisticated reverse engineering, completely disintegrating the opponent's attack.
The light of the black crystal ball became dimmer and dimmer under Dai Shiya's power, and finally lost its luster completely.
A subtle shattering sound came from inside the crystal ball, as if something was completely destroyed.
Dai Shiya felt a sense of relief, as if she had unloaded a heavy burden. She took a deep breath and looked at the mastermind behind the scenes in the distance.
The mastermind's face was as pale as paper, his body was shaky, and the crystal ball in his hand also shattered into a pile of powder.
He widened his eyes and looked at Dai Shiya in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost.
"You...you actually..." His voice trembled, and he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Dai Shiya's mouth corners slightly raised, and she was about to say something, when suddenly, there was a violent vibration under her feet, and the ground began to crack, and the bottomless cracks spread like a spider web.
"Be careful!" The husband's voice came from a distance, with a hint of panic.
Before Dai Shiya could react, huge stone walls suddenly rose from the ground, separating her from her husband and Wei Qing. The
stone wall moved very quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it formed a huge airtight cage, trapping Dai Shiya in it.
It was pitch black all around, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you. There was a cold breath in the air.
Dai Shiya could feel that she had completely lost contact with her husband and Wei Qing. She was alone and fell into an unprecedented danger.
Dai Shiya's eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, and she found herself in an empty stone room. The walls around her were cold and hard, emitting a faint chill.
She tried to touch the stone wall, and it felt like steel, indestructible.
She hit the stone wall hard, but it couldn't move at all.
She looked up, but she couldn't see any exit, only a suffocating darkness.
At this moment, a heavy footsteps came from the depths of the stone room.
The footsteps were slow and powerful, as if the god of death was approaching her step by step.
In the darkness, a pair of eyes like a beast emitted a cold light.
"Now, it's my turn to play with you personally." A cold voice echoed in the stone room, with a hint of creepy pride.
