The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 688: Crisis in the Secret Chamber

In the mysterious and vast world of cultivation, opportunities and crises always go hand in hand. Yun Yao, a mysterious time traveler, has risen from obscurity with the help of the system and her own tenacity and wisdom. Now she has reached the threshold of the fusion realm. Under the guidance of the mysterious and simple token, she embarks on a thrilling journey to find the truth of her life. And Chu Mochen, a handsome swordsman with deep affection and loyalty, never leaves her and accompanies her to the unknown.

At this moment, the two of them stood at the entrance of the secret room, with the stone door in front of them tightly closed. On it were runes similar to the token, like a combination lock leading to the mysterious past. Yun Yao took a deep breath and inserted the token in his hand into the groove. With a low roar, the stone door slowly opened, and an old, rotten, yet mysterious breath came to his face, like the breath of a giant beast that had been sleeping for thousands of years and just woke up, which made people alert.

In the secret room, the turbid mist seemed to be alive, surging wantonly and swallowing up everything in sight. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not dare to be careless, their eyes met, conveying each other's tacit understanding and determination, and then cautiously stepped into the foggy abyss.

In an instant, the mist seemed to be stirred by a pair of invisible hands, and several ghostly monsters pounced on them with their fangs and claws bared. These monsters exuded the pressure of the fusion realm, and their bodies were erratic, as if they were soul-snatching messengers from the Nine Nether Hell. Their eyes flashed with bloodthirsty light, and their sharp fangs were looming in the mist. Every time they pounced, they brought a gust of biting cold wind, which made people shudder.

Chu Mochen reacted very quickly, and the long sword in his hand was unsheathed in an instant. The sound of the sword was like the roar of a dragon, breaking the silence of the secret room. As the sword shadow flashed, his body was as fast as lightning, and he took the initiative to meet the monsters. Every time he swung the sword, it was with the power of splitting mountains and cracking rocks, as if he wanted to cut through the endless fog and the monsters together.

Yun Yao did not dare to slack off. She quickly circulated her spiritual power, and a soft light shone around her body, as if she were wearing a layer of fairy clothing to protect her body. At the same time, she used the powerful analytical ability of the system and her eyes were sharp as torches to find the weaknesses of the monsters in their crazy attacks. The system's data flowed rapidly in her mind, like a precise battle map, guiding her direction.

"For the monster on the left, the spiritual power fluctuations are weakest three inches below the abdomen. For the two on the right, the joints behind the neck are the vital points..." The system's cold prompt sounded in Yun Yao's ears. She understood it in her heart, and with a wave of her jade hand, one gorgeous spell after another hit the monster like a meteor chasing the moon.

For a moment, the spiritual power in the secret room was surging and the light was bright. Chu Mochen's swordsmanship was open and close, as if the god of war had come to the world; Yun Yao's magic was exquisite and changeable, as if a fairy scattered flowers. However, these monsters were really powerful. Although they were damaged by the attacks of the two, they became more violent, and their offensive was continuous like a tide.

As the battle was in full swing, Yun Yao keenly noticed that the monster's actions seemed strange, as if it was controlled by an invisible thread. She dodged the monster's attacks nimbly while searching around the secret room with her eyes as fast as lightning. Finally, in the corner of the secret room, she found a crystal emitting a faint light. The crystal was like a quiet eye, quietly staring at the chaos, but it also revealed a hint of mysterious power.

Yun Yao's heart moved, and she thought to herself: "This crystal is placed here so abruptly, and it emits such a strange light. Could it be that it is the key to controlling the monster?" Thinking of this, her eyes became more determined. She seized the opportunity, and the spiritual power in her body surged out like a volcanic eruption, and she cast a powerful spell.

As the light flashed, a spiritual shield protected her like a golden eggshell. She was like an arrow shot from a bow, breaking through the encirclement of the monsters and rushing towards the crystal. Seeing this, the monsters roared wildly and rushed towards her desperately, trying to stop her. But Yun Yao had made up her mind at this moment. She used the system to predict the monster's attack trajectory in advance and dodged cleverly. Her feet seemed to be stepping on the water, and her steps were like lotus flowers.

The moment she touched the crystal, a chilling but mysterious force flowed into her body through her fingertips. At the same time, the originally extremely violent monsters seemed to have their spines pulled out, and their movements instantly stopped, like wooden sculptures and clay sculptures, frozen in place, with only a trace of unwillingness in their eyes, proving their previous ferocity.

Yun Yao just breathed a sigh of relief, and before she could share this joy with Chu Mochen, a heavier roar came from the depths of the secret room, like the roar of an ancient beast, shaking people's eardrums. The ground began to tremble violently, as if the end of the world had come, and cracks spread under the feet like hideous wounds. It seemed that a more powerful existence had been awakened, and was stepping out of its slumber with endless anger and pressure, and was about to launch a fatal attack on the intruder.

Chu Mochen quickly came to Yun Yao's side. The two stood back to back, looking solemnly into the depths of the secret room. The fog became thicker and thicker, as thick as ink, making people feel as if they were in a chaotic world. In this deadly atmosphere, only their violent heartbeats and heavy breathing were intertwined into a tense war song.

"Yun Yao, be careful. The secrets hidden in this secret room are far beyond our imagination. It seems that there will be a fierce battle today." Chu Mochen said in a low voice, holding the long sword tightly in his hand. The sword body trembled slightly, as if it was tense with its master, ready to go.

Yun Yao nodded slightly, the spells in her hands kept changing, and the spiritual power was like a spirit jumping on her fingertips. She knew very well that this crisis was just a thorn on the road to exploring her life experience. Only by overcoming the thorns could she reach the other side of the truth.

"No matter what lies ahead, we can get through it together if we work together." Yun Yao responded softly but firmly, with unquestionable determination in her tone.

As the two were talking, a huge figure slowly rose up from the Netherworld, breaking through the thick fog. When they saw the full picture of the figure, they couldn't help but gasp.

This was a huge beast as big as a mountain, covered with seemingly indestructible black scales, each scale flashing with a cold light, as if star fragments were inlaid on it. Its head was like a small palace, and in its bloody mouth, the fangs were like sharp swords, cold and piercing. A pair of large copper bell eyes burned with raging anger, staring at Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, as if examining two ant-like intruders.

The beast let out an earth-shattering roar, and the sound waves were like a materialized sharp blade, sweeping towards the two. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not dare to take it head-on, and they dodged and jumped to the sides. The sound waves hit the wall behind them, instantly blasting a huge hole in the hard stone wall, and the broken stones flew everywhere, like hidden weapons.

"What on earth is this? How can it be so powerful!" Chu Mochen was shocked. He swung the sword in his hand to create sword curtains, blocking the flying stones one by one.

Yun Yao used the system to quickly scan the beast, but the information the system fed back made her heart sink. This beast was an ancient relic, called "Chaos Demon Rhino", with thick skin and flesh, great strength, and the ability to control dark spiritual power. Its strength far exceeded that of ordinary fusion realm masters, and it was brutal by nature. Once enraged, it would fight to the death.

"It seems that I have encountered a tough opponent today, but the more so, the more I cannot retreat." Yun Yao gritted her teeth, and the flame of fighting spirit ignited in her eyes. She knew very well that there was no way to retreat, and the only way was to fight.

Seeing that it missed its target, the beast became even more violent. It dug its hooves into the ground, as if it had caused a small earthquake. Then, it charged towards Yun Yao like lightning. Wherever it passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a sharp whistle.

Seeing this, Yun Yao was not in a hurry. She quickly formed seals with her hands and muttered something. In an instant, a yellowish-brown spiritual shield rose in front of her, like a towering city wall. This was a defensive spell she created based on the spell secrets provided by the system and combined with her own spiritual characteristics. It had extremely strong defensive power.

"Bang!" With a loud bang, the beast slammed into the shield, like a meteorite hitting the earth. Yun Yao felt an overwhelming force coming at her, her feet sank deep into the ground, her knees slightly bent, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth. But she relied on her tenacious will to hold on to the shield tightly and prevent the beast from moving forward.

At the same time, Chu Mochen seized the opportunity, and his figure was like a ghost, going around behind the giant beast. The spiritual power in his body rushed into the long sword crazily, and the runes on the sword body flickered, as if it were alive. He shouted loudly and used the family's unique skill "Qingfeng Poyun Sword", and saw a sword energy that seemed to be able to tear the sky slashing towards the back of the giant beast.

The beast seemed to sense something, and it swung its tail, like a black dragon, with a whirring sound, and collided fiercely with the sword energy. In an instant, light bloomed, spiritual power overflowed, and the sword energy and tail were in a stalemate, like two prehistoric beasts fighting each other.

Yun Yao took advantage of this opportunity to endure the injuries in her body, with a look of determination in her eyes. She changed the spells with both hands, and a purple lightning spell condensed in her palms. This was one of her most powerful attack methods, but it also consumed a lot of spiritual power.

"Go!" Yun Yao shouted, and pushed out with both hands. Purple lightning was like an angry thunder dragon, striking towards the giant beast's head. The giant beast sensed the danger above its head, and it raised its head and roared, spewing out a black flame from its mouth, which collided violently with the purple lightning in the air.

For a moment, the secret room was like a battlefield in the end times, with bright lights and a raging spiritual storm. Although Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's attacks caused some trouble to the giant beast, the beast had thick skin and strong recovery ability. The attacks of the two only caused it some flesh wounds, which aroused its ferocity.

The giant beast seemed to realize that Yun Yao was the key. It gave up the entanglement with Chu Mochen and rushed towards Yun Yao again, faster than before, like a black lightning.

Yun Yao's face was pale, and most of her spiritual power was consumed. Facing the crazy attack of the giant beast, she couldn't help but feel a flash of despair in her heart. But at this critical moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a scale under the belly of the giant beast, which was slightly dull in color and out of tune with the surrounding scales.

"Could that be its weakness?" Yun Yao's mind moved, and before she could think about it, she mobilized the remaining spiritual power in her body and cast a wind spell. In an instant, her figure seemed to be lifted up by the strong wind, and she flew lightly towards the belly of the giant beast.

Seeing this, the beast twisted its huge body and tried to knock Yun Yao down with its claws. But Yun Yao, with her small and flexible body, dodged left and right under the beast's claws, like a nimble butterfly flying through the flowers.

Just as she approached the dull scales on the beast's belly, the spiritual power in her hand gathered into a sharp dagger and fiercely stabbed at that spot. The beast let out an earth-shattering scream, and it struggled madly, its huge body ramming around, and the secret room was suddenly filled with rubble, as if the end of the world had come.

Yun Yao succeeded in her attack, but was thrown away by the beast's violent struggle and hit the wall heavily. She spat out a mouthful of blood, staining her clothes red.

Seeing this, Chu Mochen was extremely anxious. He rushed to Yun Yao and helped her up. "Yun Yao, how are you?" he asked anxiously, his eyes full of heartache.

Yun Yao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and smiled weakly: "I'm fine, hurry up, while it's weak now, let's find a way to deal with it."

The two struggled to get up and looked at the giant beast that was still struggling in pain. At this moment, black blood was gushing out from the place where Yun Yao had stabbed the beast's abdomen. Its movements gradually slowed down, and the fierce light in its eyes dimmed.

"It seems like it can't hold on for much longer. Let's try harder." Chu Mochen tightly gripped the sword, a look of determination flashing in his eyes.

The two stood side by side again and launched the final attack on the beast. Yun Yao cast a spell, and beams of light hit the beast; Chu Mochen swung his sword at close range, with every strike carrying the intention of killing.

Finally, under the joint attack of the two, the beast fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust. Its huge body gradually lost its vitality, like a collapsed mountain.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen collapsed to the ground and smiled at each other. They won this battle miserably, but fortunately, they survived and got one step closer to the truth of their origins. However, although the crisis in the secret room was temporarily resolved, who knew how many unknown dangers this mysterious place would hide in the future waiting for them to explore...
