Chapter 810 "A Showdown of Power and Balance"

"This vibration is stronger than any previous one." Ye Li steadied herself, her eyes fixed on the statue that was emitting red light, her voice carrying a hint of nervousness.

"This is definitely not a simple test." Qin Feng took a deep breath and drew his sword. "The last guardian may be the strongest enemy we face."

"That's exactly what I want!" Zhang Meng's face was full of excitement, as if he was not aware of the danger he was about to face. "I've been waiting for this decisive battle!"

"You'd better not underestimate the enemy again." Li Xiao said coldly, his eyes still sharp, "This statue is more dangerous than any previous guardian."

The statue slowly raised its head, holding the huge sword high above its head, and red light flashed from its eyes, as if scanning the enemies around it. Then, it took its first heavy step, and the huge footsteps shook the entire hall.

"Here they come! Get ready for battle!" Qin Feng shouted, and several people quickly assumed fighting postures.

"I'll attract its attention!" Zhang Meng shouted loudly, waving his weapon and rushing directly to the front of the statue, "I must be the protagonist this time!"

"Zhang Meng, don't rush forward!" Chu Tian couldn't help but remind him, but Zhang Meng was already moving at full speed and couldn't hear him at all.

The statue warrior's movements seemed slow, but each swing of the sword was powerful. Zhang Meng rolled flexibly and barely avoided the statue's first sword. The sword brushed his shoulder and almost threw him off.

"Wow! This guy is incredibly powerful!" Zhang Meng's eyes flashed with nervousness, but he immediately showed a confident smile, "But I like challenging enemies!"

"Can you be more cautious?" Ye Li quickly drew the bow and shot an arrow at the joint of the statue, but the arrow made a crisp collision sound on the metal skin of the statue and had no effect at all.

"Its defense is too strong." Ye Li frowned and said, "My arrows can't hurt it at all."

"It seems we can't rely on brute force alone this time." Qin Feng said solemnly, "Its power is too strong, and its defense is tight. We must find its weakness."

"You've said this countless times." Zhang Meng still smiled, "But I think the weakness this time should be harder to find."

The statue warrior once again raised the giant sword and pointed it directly at Zhang Meng who was standing in front of it. Zhang Meng was about to dodge again, but at this moment, the statue warrior's movements suddenly became faster, and the sword blade chopped down at an astonishing speed.

"Ah!" Zhang Meng jumped back suddenly, but this time he failed to avoid it completely. He was carried away by the sword wind, rolled several times, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Zhang Meng!" Chu Tian hurried over to help him up, "Are you okay?"

Zhang Meng coughed a few times and struggled to stand up. "I... I'm fine, just a little shaken."

"Don't hold on any longer." Ye Li said with some concern, "This time we are not facing an ordinary guardian."

"Hey, I'm fine." Zhang Meng patted his chest. Although he pretended to be relaxed, he was obviously struggling. "It's just... I underestimated its speed."

"We can't continue to fight head-on like this." Qin Feng analyzed calmly, "Its power is too strong. We can't break through it with a head-on attack."

"What should we do then?" Ye Li asked, "It has almost no obvious weaknesses."

Qin Feng stared at the statue warrior's movements, and suddenly, his eyes stopped at a tiny groove on the statue's chest. The groove was hidden under the statue's armor and was almost imperceptible.

"I saw it." Qin Feng said, "Its core is under the armor on the chest!"

"Core?" Zhang Meng looked up and exclaimed, "Such a hidden location, how cunning!"

"We have to find a way to expose its core." Li Xiao said coldly, "The armor is too strong. We have to let it expose itself."

"I have a bold idea!" Zhang Meng suddenly became excited, "I can attract its attack and make it make a big move in front of me, so that you will have a chance to attack its core!"

"Didn't you say you wouldn't rush around anymore?" Ye Li said helplessly, "It's too dangerous for you to do this!"

"Hey, there's nothing I can do. I'm a natural born hero." Zhang Meng smiled confidently, "I'm sure it will work this time!"

"Okay, stop talking nonsense." Li Xiao said coldly, "We don't have any better choice."

Several people quickly formulated a strategy. Zhang Meng was responsible for attracting the statue's attention, while the others looked for opportunities to attack its core.

“Come on! Big guy!” Zhang Meng shouted, waving his weapon and running towards the statue warrior, “Let me see how much strength you still have!”

The statue warrior was indeed attracted by Zhang Meng, and raised the giant sword again, slashing straight at him. Zhang Meng quickly retreated, avoiding the attack, and then quickly went around to the other side of the statue and continued to provoke it.

"Now!" Qin Feng said in a low voice, staring closely at the movements of the statue.

The statue's giant sword swung towards Zhang Meng again, but this time its movement was obviously more violent than before. When the giant sword chopped down the ground, it brought about a huge impact force, causing the armor on the statue's chest to open slightly, revealing the tiny groove.

"See! The core is exposed!" Ye Li immediately drew the bow and an arrow shot rapidly towards the core of the statue.

The arrow hit the core accurately, the statue warrior's body shook violently, its movement stopped instantly, and red light flickered in its eyes.

"It works!" Qin Feng shouted, "Continue to attack the core!"

Several people quickly launched an attack. Zhang Meng seized the opportunity, rushed to the chest of the statue, and slashed at the core with a sword.

The statue warrior let out a low roar, and its entire body began to shake violently. The red light in its eyes gradually disappeared, and the giant sword slipped from its hand. Finally, the statue's body fell to the ground with a bang, turning into a pile of discarded debris.

"We succeeded!" Zhang Meng's face was full of excitement, and he wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I told you my plan worked!"

"It was your bravery that really helped us this time." Qin Feng said with a smile, "However, you should be more calm in the future."

"Hey, being calm isn't my style." Zhang Meng grinned, "I win by my momentum!"

"Well, at least we didn't mess it up this time." Ye Li also smiled, "It seems that we really passed all the tests."

"There is one last step." Li Xiao pointed to a stone door in the center of the hall, "That is the road to the end."

The men smiled at each other. Despite the countless battles and tests they had gone through, they were still full of confidence and courage. The end was just ahead, and their adventure was about to reach its most glorious moment.

"Let's go, new challenges are waiting for us." Qin Feng said, leading the way towards the stone gate.

"I must be the biggest hero this time!" Zhang Meng followed with great strides, his face full of anticipation, "Just wait and see, I haven't been in the limelight enough yet!"

"As long as you stop messing around, we can get through smoothly." Chu Tian smiled and patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder.

Several people walked into the stone gate, and the light at the end of the passage became brighter and brighter. New adventures and challenges were waiting for them. And they knew that as long as they were united, no danger could stop them from moving forward.
