Chapter 450: Turning the Tide, Strength Rises
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen rushed to the sect anxiously, carrying the three ancient artifacts they had collected. Along the way, the wind whistled in their ears, but it could not blow away the solemnity in their hearts. The two knew that this time they returned to fight a life-and-death duel with the rampant evil creature. The survival of the sect and the safety of thousands of disciples all depended on them.
As soon as he approached the sect's mountain gate, a strong stench of decay hit him in the face. It was the stench of evil, mixed with the smell of death and despair. The originally solemn and dignified sect was now shrouded in a thick black fog, and faint screams could be heard, as if the gates of the Netherworld were wide open and demons were dancing wildly.
Yun Yao gritted her teeth, her eyes revealing determination: "Chen, we must succeed." Chu Mochen nodded slightly, holding her hand tighter, giving her silent strength and support. The two rushed into the black fog without hesitation, and the faint light emitted by the artifact opened up a difficult path forward in the darkness.
As soon as he stepped into the sect, several black shadows rushed over with bared fangs and claws. These black shadows were all low-level disciples who were corrupted by evil things. Their eyes were empty and lifeless, emitting a strange red light, but their movements were extremely swift. Yun Yao's eyebrows were raised, and the long sword in her hand shook. The sound of the sword rang out all around, and a sharp sword energy whistled out, instantly chopping the first few black shadows into powder. Chu Mochen was not far behind, and his hands quickly formed seals. A fire spell instantly took shape and was thrown forward. The flames exploded instantly, burning the surrounding black shadows to ashes.
The two of them fought and advanced, rushing towards the core of the evil. Along the way, they saw ruins everywhere, and the once prosperous buildings were now in ruins. The disciples' screams were endless. These tragic scenes made Yun Yao and Chu Mochen furious, and their steps became more and more urgent.
Finally, in the sect's central square, they saw the true form of the evil creature. They saw a huge, surging black mist suspended in the air, with countless black tentacles appearing and disappearing in the mist, wantonly whipping everything around. From time to time, twisted and hideous faces emerged in the black mist, emitting creepy roars, as if protesting against the intruders.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, looked at Chu Mochen, and the two of them summoned their artifacts at the same time. In an instant, the three artifacts shone brightly, and the dazzling light slightly pushed back the surrounding darkness. The artifact in Yun Yao's hand was shaped like a jade ruyi, and at this moment it was crystal clear, emitting a soft and holy light. There seemed to be runes flowing in the light, containing endless purifying power; the artifact held by Chu Mochen was an ancient spear, with mysterious patterns engraved on the gun body. Under the reflection of the light, those patterns swam like living things, emitting a fierce murderous aura; another artifact was a bronze mirror, the mirror surface was as smooth as a mirror, but at this moment it reflected countless mysterious lights and shadows, which seemed to be weaving some kind of powerful formation to resist the erosion of evil things.
The lights of the three artifacts intersected and slowly rose into the air, echoing with the spiritual power of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Yun Yao took the lead. She shouted and gently waved the jade ruyi in her hand towards the evil creature. A beam of light as white as snow shot out like a rainbow piercing the sun, rushing straight towards the evil creature. Wherever the beam went, the black fog dissipated, and those resentful souls wailed in pain. However, the evil creature was not to be outdone. Several black tentacles quickly wrapped around the beam, trying to devour it.
Seeing this, Chu Mochen shook his spear and rushed forward like a ghost, the tip of the spear flashing with cold light, and stabbed the evil creature fiercely with an indomitable momentum. Every time he stabbed, a spear light bloomed, like falling stars in the night sky, coordinating with Yun Yao's beam of light, launching a fierce attack on the evil creature. The evil creature was caught off guard by this sudden and fierce attack, and was forced to retreat again and again.
But this evil creature was, after all, the remnant of the demon cult from thousands of years ago. How could it be defeated so easily? After a brief panic, it quickly adjusted its state and let out a deafening roar. Then, a more powerful dark force surged out of its body, forcibly suppressing the light of the three artifacts. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen only felt a huge pressure coming towards them. They involuntarily retreated, and their feet drew deep grooves on the ground.
"Yao'er, hold on!" Chu Mochen shouted loudly, veins popping out on his forehead, obviously trying desperately to resist the pressure of the evil creature. Yun Yao looked pale, but nodded firmly. She closed her eyes tightly, concentrated her mind, and tried her best to mobilize the spiritual power in her body, continuously injecting it into the artifact. With her efforts, the light of Yu Ruyi became brighter again, and although it was slow, it stubbornly moved forward bit by bit.
Seeing this, Chu Mochen was not to be outdone. He bit his tongue and sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the spear. The spear instantly hummed and the light surged. He used a set of exquisite spear techniques, with many spear shadows, attacking the evil creature like a storm. Each shot contained all his strength, which echoed with Yun Yao's purification power to form a powerful attack formation.
The evil creature felt an unprecedented threat, and it struggled frantically. The black fog rolled more violently, and the roars of the resentful souls made people's eardrums hurt. It continuously released black energy waves, trying to break through Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's defenses. However, the two worked closely together, supporting each other, and resolved the attacks of the evil creature time and time again.
During the fierce battle, Yun Yao suddenly discovered a weakness of the evil creature. In its core, there was a relatively dim light, which seemed to be the weakest place. She didn't have time to think about it, and shouted to Chu Mochen: "Chen, attack its core, that's the weak point!" As she spoke, she controlled Yu Ruyi, gathered all the light into one point, and shot it towards the core of the evil creature.
Chu Mochen's eyes condensed when he heard this, and the spear in his hand changed direction instantly, stabbing in the direction pointed by Yun Yao with an unstoppable momentum. On the tip of the spear, light gathered, like a bright meteor, cutting through the darkness and fiercely stabbing into the core of the evil creature.
The evil creature sensed the danger and desperately moved its body, trying to avoid the fatal blow. But Yun Yao and Chu Mochen would never give it a chance. They used all their strength and their spiritual power surged wildly. Under the light of the artifact, their figures seemed so small, yet so determined.
Finally, the spear accurately pierced the core of the evil creature, and at the same time, Yun Yao's purification beam also hit hard. In an instant, a dazzling light bloomed, and the entire sect was shrouded in this light. The evil creature let out an extremely shrill roar, and its body began to disintegrate rapidly. The black mist and resentful souls disappeared under the purification of the light, leaving only silence.
The light gradually dissipated, and Yun Yao and Chu Mochen collapsed to the ground exhausted, their clothes torn, their faces covered with dust, and their spiritual power almost exhausted. But their eyes were full of joy and relief, the sect returned to peace, they did it.
After a long time, the disciples came one after another, and when they saw the scene before them, they all burst into tears. They cheered and revered Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Everyone worked together to clean up the ruins of the sect and rebuild their homes.
After the life-and-death battle between Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, Yun Yao's strength was promoted from the Judan Realm to the Yuanying Realm due to breaking through the limit. She could clearly feel the surging spiritual power in her body, like a vast ocean, inexhaustible. This leap in strength made her full of confidence in the future.
In the following days, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen became the backbone of the sect. They not only guided the disciples in their training and imparted their combat experience, but also led the disciples to go out for training to improve the overall strength of the sect. Under their leadership, the sect gradually regained its former prosperity and even surpassed it before.
Whenever night falls, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen always walk hand in hand on the path of the sect, looking back on the hardships and difficulties along the way. Their feelings have become deeper and deeper in the test of life and death. In each other's eyes, they see the firm determination to work together in the future and continue to write legends. Whether facing unknown powerful enemies or exploring the mysterious road of cultivation, they are not afraid, because they know that as long as they accompany each other, there will be no difficulties that cannot be overcome.
As time goes by, the names of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen become more and more famous in the world of cultivation, and they have become legends admired by countless people. However, they still keep their original aspirations in mind, guarding their sects, pursuing higher realms of cultivation, and taking every firm step towards the endless sky, writing their own eternal legend.
