The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 388 The Destruction of Evil Forces

On the battlefield, the air was filled with gunpowder smoke and the shouts of killing were so deafening that it hurt people's eardrums. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were covered in blood, their clothes had long been torn and tattered, and were soaked in sweat and blood and stuck to their bodies. The two stood back to back, facing the evil forces that were surging like a tide, their eyes full of unyielding and determination.

The long sword in Yun Yao's hand flashed with cold light, and every swing brought a splash of blood. Her sword skills were sharp and precise, and each move hit the enemy's vital points. However, the long battle made her physically exhausted, and her arms felt heavy as if they were filled with lead. Every time she raised her hands, she had to use all her strength. Chu Mochen was the same. The long spear in his hand was like a dragon swimming in the sea. Wherever the spear tip reached, the enemy screamed continuously. However, his breath became more and more disordered, and his chest rose and fell violently. It was obvious that he had reached the end of his strength.

Most of the elite disciples they brought with them were killed or wounded at this moment. The remaining people formed a circle, protecting Yun Yao and Chu Mochen in the middle. Everyone was injured, but they still fought desperately. However, the evil forces' offensive was wave after wave, with no sign of stopping. They seemed determined to completely wipe out everyone and take away Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's spiritual power.

Just as everyone was gradually falling into despair, a powerful spiritual power suddenly came from the horizon, followed by streams of light flying over. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked closely and saw that it was the elders of the sect who led a large number of reinforcements. The elder in the lead was white-haired, but energetic. He waved the whisk in his hand, and a powerful spiritual power swept out, instantly knocking away several evil masters who were rushing to the front.

"Don't panic, disciple. Your master is here!" the elder shouted loudly, and his voice echoed throughout the battlefield.

The arrival of reinforcements instantly reversed the situation. The elders used their unique skills, and for a moment, the battlefield was bright with light. Various powerful spells and martial arts intertwined together, catching the evil forces off guard. Seeing the reinforcements coming, the disciples of the sect were greatly encouraged, and they shouted and launched a counterattack.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, with the flame of hope in their eyes. They cheered up and rushed into the enemy camp again. Yun Yao circulated the spiritual power in her body and displayed the new sword technique she had just learned after the breakthrough. The sword was as powerful as a rainbow, and the enemies fell down wherever it passed. Chu Mochen also shot out like a dragon, and cooperated closely with Yun Yao. The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, were like a sharp blade, ruthlessly piercing the heart of the evil forces.

However, the evil forces were deep-rooted after all. After a brief panic, they quickly adjusted their formation and began to counterattack frantically. A tall leader with black mist all over his body stood up. He stared at Yun Yao and Chu Mochen with cold eyes. He swung the big knife in his hand, and a black crescent-shaped knife energy whizzed out and slashed directly at the two.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not dare to be careless and quickly joined forces to resist. They gathered their spiritual power together to form a shield to withstand this fierce attack. However, the impact still made them retreat several steps, and blood flowed from the corners of their mouths.

"Hmph, today is the day you die!" The evil leader snorted coldly and attacked again with a knife.

Yun Yao took a deep breath. She knew that this was a life-or-death situation and she could not retreat. She closed her eyes and quickly mobilized the spiritual power in her body, trying to find an opportunity to break through. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to her mind, and she remembered an obscure formula from the ancient secret book she had obtained in the mysterious ruins.

Without time to think, Yun Yao followed the formula and guided the spiritual power to circulate in the meridians in her body in a peculiar way. In an instant, her whole body shone brightly, a powerful aura emanated from her, and her strength suddenly soared.

"How is this possible?" The evil leader was shocked and paused unconsciously.

But he reacted quickly, roared, and swung his sword again. Yun Yao's eyes were cold, and she advanced instead of retreating. She shook the long sword in her hand and displayed a set of exquisite sword techniques that had never been seen before. The sword moves were unpredictable, and each sword contained the power to destroy the world.

Seeing Yun Yao's greatly increased strength, Chu Mochen was also greatly encouraged. He waved his spear and fought side by side with Yun Yao. The two of them cooperated more and more tacitly, and for a while they were evenly matched with the evil leader.

In the fierce battle, Yun Yao saw a flaw and thrust out with a sword. The long sword penetrated the evil leader's defense like lightning and pierced his chest. The evil leader's eyes widened with disbelief. He wanted to raise his hand to resist, but found that his body was no longer under his control.

"No——" With a scream, the evil leader fell to the ground and died.

When the evil forces saw that their leader was dead, they immediately lost their morale and fled in all directions. The disciples of the sect took advantage of the victory and chased the remaining evil forces out of the battlefield.

This battle finally ended with the victory of Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and others. However, the price of victory was heavy. On the battlefield, corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the groans of the wounded were heard one after another. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at the devastated battlefield with mixed feelings in their hearts.

They dragged their exhausted bodies and walked slowly back to the sect with the help of their disciples. Along the way, no one spoke, and they were all mourning for their deceased fellow disciples, and at the same time, they were filled with emotion for this hard-won victory.

After returning to the sect, everyone immediately began to treat the wounded and clean up the battlefield. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were already seriously injured, and they had to force themselves to participate in the post-war affairs. Not long after, they were exhausted and fainted on the ground.

When they woke up again, it was three days later. Yun Yao slowly opened her eyes and found herself lying in the sect's dormitory, feeling sore and weak all over. She turned her head and looked to the side. Chu Mochen was sitting beside the bed, looking at her with concern.

"You're awake, how do you feel?" Chu Mochen asked softly, his eyes full of tenderness.

Yun Yao smiled slightly and tried to sit up, but she pulled the wound and gasped in pain.

"Don't move, you are seriously injured, just lie down." Chu Mochen quickly held her down, his eyes full of heartache.

"How's the sect...?" Yun Yao asked weakly.

"Don't worry, the elders are dealing with post-war matters, and everything is slowly recovering." Chu Mochen comforted.

Yun Yao nodded slightly, recalling the tragic battle, and couldn't help but feel a little scared. If the elders hadn't arrived in time, if she hadn't realized a new realm of martial arts at the critical moment, the consequences would have been disastrous.

"This time it is all thanks to the elders and fellow disciples, otherwise we would..." A trace of tears flashed in Yun Yao's eyes.

"Yes, after this battle, I understand more clearly that in this world of cultivation, no matter how strong a person is, he cannot do without the support of a sect." Chu Mochen said with emotion.

As the two were talking, the door was suddenly pushed open and several elders walked in. They looked at Yun Yao and Chu Mochen on the bed, their eyes full of relief.

"Good kids, I'm glad you woke up. This time it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't fought to the death, our sect would have been in danger." said the leading elder.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen quickly stood up and wanted to salute, but were stopped by the elders.

"You are injured, so there is no need to be polite. Everyone has seen your heroic performance in this battle, and you have made great contributions to the sect." said another elder.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, their hearts filled with emotion. They knew that this was the elders' recognition and affirmation of them.

"Elder, why did the evil forces suddenly attack us this time?" Chu Mochen asked, full of doubts.

The faces of the elders became solemn, and the leading elder slowly said: "After investigation, we found that there seems to be a bigger conspiracy behind this evil force. They have been secretly observing the strength of each sect, trying to select the strongest and seize their spiritual power to enhance their own strength and then rule the entire cultivation world."

"What? You are so arrogant!" Yun Yao couldn't help but get angry when she heard that.

"Hmph, their ambitions will never succeed. Even though we have repelled them this time, there is no guarantee that they will not make a comeback. We must strengthen our defenses and enhance the strength of our sect," said the elder.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen nodded in agreement.

“Elder, we are willing to contribute to the development of our sect.” Yun Yao said firmly.

"Okay, you guys take good care of your injuries first. After you recover, we will discuss the next plan." After the elders gave a few instructions, they left the room.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at the backs of the elders as they left, and secretly vowed in their hearts that they must improve their own strength, protect the sect, and not let the evil forces take advantage of the opportunity.

In the following days, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen recovered from their injuries. Disciples from the sect came to visit them, bringing all kinds of precious healing pills and tonics. With everyone's careful care, their injuries gradually improved.

After recovering from their injuries, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen immediately devoted themselves to the reconstruction of the sect. Together with their disciples, they repaired damaged buildings, sorted out classics, and rearranged defensive formations. In this process, they not only contributed to the sect, but also further improved their own strength through continuous labor and practice.

At the same time, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen have not forgotten the lessons learned from the war. They often get together with the elders to discuss the situation in the cultivation world and study strategies to deal with evil forces. They know that under the peaceful cultivation world, undercurrents are surging, and only by becoming stronger can they protect everything they cherish in the future crisis.

As time went by, the sect gradually regained its former vitality with the efforts of everyone. After this battle, the reputations of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen spread throughout the entire cultivation world. They became heroes in the eyes of many cultivators, inspiring countless young people to embark on the path of cultivation.

However, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not become complacent because of this. They knew that the road ahead was long and full of challenges. In this ever-changing world of cultivation, only by not forgetting their original aspirations and forging ahead can they truly protect this world they love.
