The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 386: Struggle in Dilemma

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen led the elite disciples and launched a thrilling battle with the evil forces outside the stronghold. However, the situation of the battle was like a turbulent undercurrent, gradually rushing in an unfavorable direction, dragging them into an extremely dangerous predicament.

From the beginning of the battle, the evil forces showed their unimaginable strength. Their masters emerged in an endless stream, their skills were strange and varied, and every attack was full of murderous intent, making Yun Yao and others overwhelmed. Although Yun Yao and Chu Mochen had entered the Nascent Soul Realm and their strength had greatly increased, they still felt exhausted in the face of the enemies that were surging like a tide.

Yun Yao swung the sword in her hand, and the sword shadows were like weaving. Every sword energy seemed to be able to tear the air and cut the approaching enemies. She was agile and moved freely in the enemy formation, trying to find the enemy's flaws and give them a fatal blow. However, the enemy seemed to have seen through her intentions. Every time she was about to succeed, there were always a few fierce attacks from unexpected directions, forcing her to return the sword to defend.

Chu Mochen was also in a tough fight. Lightning flashed in his palms. Every time he struck out, there was a deafening roar, which sent a large number of enemies flying. But the number of evil forces was too large. As soon as he repelled one wave, more enemies came rushing forward. His spiritual power consumption increased sharply, his forehead was covered with sweat, and his face turned slightly pale.

The elite disciples they brought with them were able to hold out against the enemy at first, relying on the advantage of the traps. But as the battle continued, the traps were triggered one by one, becoming less effective, and the disciples were gradually defeated. Many disciples were seriously injured, their clothes stained with blood, but they still fought tenaciously. Some disciples were hit in the vitals by the enemy and fell to the ground, their eyes full of resentment and grief.

Yun Yao was extremely anxious when she saw this. She knew that if they didn't find a way to turn the situation around, all of them would die here today. She waved her sword to block the attack and shouted loudly: "Everyone stay calm, don't panic! Maintain your formation!" But in this chaotic battlefield, her voice was quickly drowned out by the shouts of killing.

Chu Mochen also realized the critical situation. He rushed towards Yun Yao and tried to meet with her to discuss countermeasures. However, the enemy would not let them do what they wanted easily. Several masters quickly surrounded him and separated him from Yun Yao. Chu Mochen shouted angrily, and the lightning suddenly became stronger. He attacked desperately, trying to break through the enemy's obstruction.

"Hmph, it's not that easy to get through!" A leader of an evil force sneered, waving the long whip in his hand like a poisonous snake, with the tip of the whip making a sharp whistling sound, whipping Chu Mochen again and again. Chu Mochen dodged sideways, but was accidentally rubbed by the whip on his arm, and his clothes were torn immediately, and blood oozed out.

Yun Yao was under the same pressure. Her spiritual power was rapidly depleted in the intense battle, and every swing of the sword became more and more strenuous. Suddenly, an enemy took advantage of the moment when her spiritual power was running low and threw a flying knife. The flying knife flashed with a cold light and went straight to Yun Yao's throat. Yun Yao hurriedly turned sideways, and the flying knife brushed her cheek, leaving a bloody mark on her face.

"Senior sister, be careful!" Seeing this, an injured disciple used up his last bit of strength to rush towards the enemy, but was stabbed in the chest by the enemy cruelly, killing him on the spot. Yun Yao was furious and roared, "You beasts, I will never forgive you!" She suppressed the grief in her heart and stimulated her spiritual power again, but the spiritual power in her body was like a dried-up well, with little left.

At this moment, the sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, and a storm seemed to be approaching. The howling wind made everyone's clothes rustle, adding a bit of solemnity to the tragic battlefield. Yun Yao looked at the gloomy sky, and suddenly a feeling of powerlessness surged in her heart. Are they really going to die here today?

Seeing Yun Yao and the others in dire straits, the evil forces launched an increasingly fierce attack. They seemed to want to completely wipe out Yun Yao and the others in one fell swoop, so as to seize their cultivation results. An old man in a black robe floated in the air, waving his hands, and black rays of light shot towards Yun Yao and the others like ropes. Wherever they went, deep gullies were torn into the ground.

Chu Mochen was extremely anxious. He ignored his own safety, broke through the obstruction of several enemies, and ran towards Yun Yao. But just when he got to Yun Yao, before he could open his mouth, a black light came whistling. Chu Mochen didn't have time to think about it, he pulled Yun Yao behind him, and took the blow with his back. He groaned, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and staggered a few steps.

"Brother Chu!" Yun Yao exclaimed, her eyes full of worry and self-blame. She hurriedly supported Chu Mochen, touched her storage ring with her right hand, took out a healing pill, and was about to feed it to him.

"I'm fine, Yunyao, what should we do now?" Chu Mochen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Yunyao with firm eyes.

Yun Yao looked around, seeing the dead and wounded disciples, and then seeing the enemies coming like a tide, and felt sad. But she knew that she must not give up at this moment, because if she gave up, everyone would die without a burial place.

"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We must find a way to break out!" Yun Yao said gritting her teeth.

"But there are too many enemies, and they are too strong. How can we break through?" a disciple shouted in despair.

Yun Yao lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Senior Brother Chu and I will lead the way later, you guys follow us closely and don't fall behind. We will break out to the east, where the enemy is relatively weaker."

When everyone heard this, although they were nervous, they also knew that this was the only chance of survival, so they nodded in agreement.

Yun Yao took a deep breath and adjusted the chaotic spiritual power in her body. She gathered all the remaining spiritual power into the long sword, and the sword suddenly glowed brightly and made a buzzing sound.

"Senior Brother Chu, are you ready?" Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen.

"Well, let's charge together!" Chu Mochen clenched his fists, and lightning flashed in his palms again.

Just as they were preparing to break out, the evil forces seemed to have sensed their intentions and once again strengthened the defenses on the east side. A group of guards in black armor quickly gathered, holding spears in their hands, flashing cold light, forming an impenetrable line of defense.

Yun Yao's heart sank when she saw this, but the arrow was already on the string and had to be shot. She shouted and rushed out first, the long sword in her hand was like a dragon out of the sea, piercing straight into the enemy's defense line. Chu Mochen followed closely behind, the lightning and sword energy intertwined, sweeping towards the enemy.

The two's attacks fell on the enemy's defense line like a storm, and for a moment the enemy's defense line was slightly loosened. But before they could break through the defense line, the enemy's reinforcements arrived continuously and blocked the gap again.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were in a bitter battle. Their spiritual power was almost exhausted, and every attack became extremely difficult. The disciples were also struggling to support them, and the number of casualties continued to increase.

At this critical moment of life and death, Yun Yao suddenly remembered a joint attack formation that she had seen in ancient books. This formation required two people to communicate with each other and merge their spiritual power together to exert several times the power. But she had never practiced it with Chu Mochen, so she could only try it out at this moment.

"Senior Brother Chu, let's use a combined attack formation!" Yun Yao shouted loudly.

"Combined attack formation? But I have never used it!" Chu Mochen looked embarrassed.

"There's no time to explain, Senior Brother Chu, believe me!" Yun Yao looked at him firmly.

Chu Mochen was slightly stunned, then nodded: "Okay, I believe you!"

Yun Yao quickly explained the key points of the formation to Chu Mochen. The two looked at each other and circulated their spiritual power at the same time. For a moment, the surrounding spiritual energy seemed to be summoned and gathered towards them frantically. Yun Yao's sword energy and Chu Mochen's lightning intertwined with each other, forming a gorgeous and powerful light.

"Kill!" The two shouted at the same time and rushed towards the enemy's defense line.

The power of the combined attack formation was beyond imagination. Wherever it went, the enemies screamed and fell to the ground, and the defense line was torn open. Seeing this, the disciples were greatly encouraged and followed Yun Yao and Chu Mochen to rush towards the gap.

However, how could the evil forces let them escape so easily? Just when they were about to break through, a mysterious man in black suddenly appeared. This man exuded a powerful aura and his strength was unfathomable. He waved his hands, and a black light curtain instantly enveloped Yun Yao and others.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" the man in black robe said coldly.

Yun Yao and the others were trapped in the light curtain, hitting walls everywhere. No matter how they attacked, the light curtain did not move at all. Their spiritual power had been exhausted, their bodies were exhausted, and they were in an unprecedented desperate situation.

"Are we really going to die here today?" A disciple cried in despair.

Yun Yao looked at her companions, her heart filled with guilt and resentment. She clenched her fists, her nails dug into her palms, blood seeping out. Is there no other way? She screamed wildly in her heart.

Just when everyone was in despair, Yun Yao suddenly discovered that there was a slightly weak light in the southeast corner of the light curtain. She was moved, could it be the negligence of the man in black robe?

"Don't lose heart, we still have a chance!" Yun Yao shouted, "Concentrate our forces and attack the southeast corner!"

When everyone heard this, although they were skeptical, they had no choice but to muster up their courage and launch a final attack towards the southeast corner.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen mobilized all the remaining spiritual power in their bodies, and together with the disciples, they attacked frantically towards the southeast corner. Once, twice... Under their attack, the light curtain finally showed a crack.

"Try harder!" Yun Yao shouted.

Everyone gritted their teeth and tried their best. Finally, with a loud bang, the light curtain shattered. Yun Yao and others had no time to cheer. While the enemy had not yet reacted, they used up their last bit of strength and broke through to the east.

They ran all the way, with the sound of the enemy chasing them behind them. Yun Yao and the others stopped and collapsed to the ground only after they were sure that the enemy was not chasing them. They looked at each other's embarrassed appearance, with mixed feelings in their hearts. This battle cost them a heavy price, but fortunately, they survived.

At this time, the rain finally poured down, as if crying for this tragic battle. Yun Yao lay on the ground, looking at the sky, and secretly swore in her heart that she would repay today's revenge double. Chu Mochen also clenched his fists, his eyes full of determination and resoluteness. They knew that the road ahead was still long, and they had to become stronger to protect everything they cherished.
