It was already dusk.
Lin Feng looked into the distance and saw a knight in armor engulfed in eerie green flames, with even his black warhorse surrounded by flames.
The knight had no head, no flesh, only bones.
He clenched his fists; at this moment, he was fearless, and even death could not frighten him.
Because he's just here to die!
"Headless Knight! I'm right here, come on, kill me!"
He shouted at the Headless Knight opposite him.
He was now incredibly angry, so angry that he had lost all reason and was willing to die.
Shen Hao, now transformed into Headless Knight, looked at him and felt utterly innocent.
There was no body in the coffin, not because he did anything wrong.
There was never Headless Knight's body there; it was just a false tomb.
Those people just didn't find the right place.
He refused to accept being blamed.
He kicked his warhorse and charged towards Lin Feng.
Since this person is determined to die, let him live a little longer.
Let him die when he no longer wants to die.
The warhorse arrived in front of Lin Feng in an instant. Shen Hao drew the long sword hanging on the horse's back and slashed at him.
The speed was so fast that Lin Feng, blinded by rage, barely had time to react.
Seeing the sword hurtling towards him, he knew he couldn't dodge it.
The sword was too fast and its power was unparalleled; he was no match for it at all.
But he came here to die; he had no intention of hiding at all.
As the sword slashed towards him, he closed his eyes.
The sword grazed his head; he only felt a chill on his scalp and a slight pain.
The pain snapped him out of his rage.
Just now, if the Headless Knight's sword had been any lower, his head would have been sliced in two.
He actually felt a little scared.
His anger subsided, reason returned, and suddenly he no longer wanted to die.
He never wanted to die.
I was just too angry, and my anger clouded my judgment, which is why I thought of giving up and made the decision to take the initiative to face the Headless Knight.
But having just brushed with death, he truly realized how precious life is, and that he didn't actually want to die at all.
"Damn it!" he cursed inwardly.
He hated himself for not even having the courage to face death.
He hadn't died yet, but now he was no longer able to calmly face death.
But then, the Headless Knight suddenly turned around and faced him again.
Lin Feng began to panic.
He wanted to calm himself down and face death with equanimity, but he simply couldn't.
When the Headless Knight charged again, he instinctively dodged to the side.
He regretted it; he felt like he'd acted like an idiot.
He is now completely unable to face his choice with equanimity.
Seeing the Headless Knight about to charge, Lin Feng hurriedly used his abilities.
The power within him surged, and the phantom of a ferocious beast appeared behind him, merging with him.
As the Headless Knight's sword slashed at him, Lin Feng reached out his hand, and the beast behind him followed suit.
"Boom!"
The two forces collided, and Lin Feng's body was immediately sent flying backward, crashing to the ground.
The force was so strong that he felt as if the bones in his body had been shattered.
The gap is too big.
Is this the Headless Knight? He far surpasses him in both strength and wisdom.
He alone is not qualified to fight him.
Fear instantly filled his heart.
He didn't really want to die; he wanted to live. He had just lost his temper in a moment of anger.
As the Headless Knight drew closer, the feeling of fear intensified.
He's just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
He was desperate and terrified, yet powerless to change the situation.
"Quick! Come this way!" Just then, a voice reached his ears.
Lin Feng hurriedly looked over and saw Qi Lin calling out to him, and the others were also there.
"Thankfully, they didn't abandon me."
Lin Feng struggled and scrambled toward the group, but after only a few steps, the Headless Knight was already beside him.
He was utterly desperate.
Faced with an opponent of such strength, he had no chance of escape.
The Headless Knight raised his steel sword, about to strike, when an invisible barrier separated them.
"Bang!"
The greatsword struck the invisible barrier with a deafening roar.
Lin Feng glanced back and immediately felt a surge of relief, his mind and body completely relaxing.
This barrier can hold for a while.
He came back to life.
Lin Feng hurriedly ran towards the other four people, panting heavily.
"Thank you," he said, looking at Qi Lin.
Qi Lin shook his head and said, "It's alright. If we didn't save you, we'd be one person short, and he'd kill us sooner or later anyway."
They truly had nowhere to escape.
We'll have to face the Headless Knight sooner or later, so we might as well fight to the death while our team is at its strongest.
Although Lin Feng's actions were foolish, they also inspired their fighting spirit.
They decided to try again.
Win or lose, at least they tried their best.
Although they could not die without regrets, at least they did their best to fight for their lives.
Lin Feng smiled wryly, "The gap is too big. I can't even withstand one of his sword strikes. The Headless Knight is too strong."
Han Rui said, "There are five of us this time, we can definitely withstand one of his sword strikes!"
A resolute glint appeared in Yan Dahai's eyes. "He wants to kill us? Not so easy!"
"Yes, no matter the outcome, we have to give it our all, otherwise we won't be able to die in peace."
Su Su's face still showed a hint of fear, but her eyes remained resolute.
Lin Feng could sense a powerful belief emanating from them.
At this moment, they seemed to have lost all fear of death.
They wanted to prove one thing: they were the enemies of the Headless Knight, not ants that could be trampled on at will.
Looking at the Headless Knight outside the barrier, Qi Lin said, "Now I'll release the barrier and let him in."
His strength will be weakened within my barrier. With the five of us working together, we should at least teach him a lesson!
"Let's begin!" Yan Dahai said, and three ghostly figures appeared beside him.
The illusory ghostly figures roamed around him. He was Soul-type Ability User, and these ghostly figures were the monsters he kept and controlled.
Everyone stared intently at the Headless Knight outside, filled with fighting spirit.
None of them noticed Lin Feng standing behind them.
Lin Feng took a short knife from his inventory and slashed it directly at Qi Lin in front of him.
The short knife sliced across Qi Lin's shoulder, passing through his arm as easily as cutting tofu.
He didn't even feel the pain before he found his arm on the ground.
"Ah--"
The intense pain caused Qi Lin to let out a scream.
The cut on his arm was very clean, and not even blood flowed out, because the blood was absorbed by the bloodthirsty weapon.
His wounds began to fester rapidly, and he could feel his life slipping away quickly.
Qi Lin stared at Lin Feng in disbelief; he couldn't believe his teammate would do such a thing.
The others quickly distanced themselves from Lin Feng, looking at him with anger and confusion.
"He seems to be Possession!" Yan Dahai exclaimed.
"Possession? Yes..."
They realized that the Lin Feng in front of them was not Lin Feng at all, but the Headless Knight!
They've been tricked again.
The newly established belief was completely shattered at this moment.
They were always under the control of the Headless Knight, and never escaped.
They didn't even have the chance to fight the Headless Knight to the death.
Because they really are just ants.
They were in utter despair.
They felt they were not facing the Headless Knight, the boss of Instance, but a real Demon.
