Chapter 310: Crisis Encounter, True Feelings Revealed
In the core area of the mysterious and dangerous secret realm, the surroundings were so quiet that it was chilling, as if the air was frozen by the solemn atmosphere. Yun Yao faced the extremely powerful guardian beast alone. Her clothes were already torn, and a few strands of hair were messily stuck to her sweaty cheeks. Her beautiful eyes were full of stubbornness and unyieldingness, but they could not hide her exhaustion and despair.
The guardian beast was as majestic as a mountain, with black mist lingering around it. Every time it moved, it brought up a gust of wind, making the surrounding sand and stones whistle and dance. Its eyes were like burning blood caves, staring at Yun Yao intently, and from time to time it let out deafening roars, as if protesting against this tiny human who had entered its territory. Yun Yao tightly grasped the long sword in her hand, and the sword body trembled with a buzzing sound, as if it could not bear the burden, but also seemed to fight against this desperate situation with her. Her spiritual power was like a candle in the wind, and it was exhausted in the previous confrontations with many dangers. At this moment, every breath she took was filled with a strong smell of blood, which was the mark left after her injury.
Just when Yun Yao felt that she was about to be swallowed by the endless darkness and her consciousness was gradually blurring, a familiar figure came rushing over like a meteor. Chu Mochen! He was as tall and straight as a pine tree, his sleeves fluttering, and the anxiety and determination in his eyes seemed to be able to break through the heavy haze of this secret realm. He rushed all the way here, knocking away several low-level monsters that tried to stop him. At this moment, he was only concerned about Yun Yao's safety.
"Yun Yao!" Chu Mochen roared, his voice echoing in the empty space, filled with endless worry and heartache. He stepped forward without hesitation and protected Yun Yao tightly behind him. He held the sword in his hand and faced the ferocious guardian beast. The spiritual power in his body instantly burst out, forming a shield that seemed to be there and not there, trying to protect Yun Yao from the impending fatal blow.
Yun Yao looked at the figure who suddenly appeared in front of her and risked his life for her. Every bit of her past with Chu Mochen flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern. The laughter and joy when they practiced together in the back mountain of the sect, the warm moments when they shared their dreams and thoughts, and the tacit trust when they fought side by side against foreign enemies... For a moment, all the love surged into her heart like a surging tide, instantly breaking through the ice of misunderstandings during this period, and tears burst out uncontrollably, blurring her eyes.
"Chu Mochen, why are you here..." Yun Yao choked up, her voice trembling slightly. She felt surprised and touched, but more importantly, she was shocked by his love and loyalty that was so great that he disregarded his life or death.
Chu Mochen did not look back. His eyes were fixed on the guardian beast. The sword in his hand trembled slightly, ready to strike. He responded in a low voice: "What would you do if I didn't come? I will never allow anything to happen to you!" Simple words, but like a heavy hammer, hit Yun Yao's heart hard.
The guardian beast seemed to be angered by Chu Mochen's sudden appearance, or perhaps it felt the emotional fluctuations between the two. It roared to the sky, and the sound waves shook the surrounding rocks. Then, it dug the ground with its front paws, and pounced over like lightning, bringing a black light and shadow, approaching Chu Mochen and Yun Yao.
Chu Mochen's eyes were stern, and he dodged to the side, cleverly avoiding the frontal attack of the guardian beast. At the same time, the long sword in his hand drew a sharp arc and stabbed the neck of the guardian beast. However, the guardian beast had thick skin and amazing defense. The long sword only drew a shallow white mark on its fur and was bounced back. The huge reaction force made Chu Mochen's arm numb.
Yun Yao was extremely anxious upon seeing this. She endured the pain in her body, mobilized the only remaining spiritual power in her body, injected it into the sword, and shouted, "Watch out for the sword!" She attacked the guardian beast from the side, trying to distract its attention and create an opportunity for Chu Mochen.
The guardian beast sensed Yun Yao's attack and swung its tail, whipping her like a steel whip. Chu Mochen was horrified and quickly turned around to block the fatal blow with his sword. With a loud "bang", Chu Mochen was knocked several feet away and fell heavily to the ground, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao screamed in fear, desperately ran to his side, and helped him up. Looking at his pale face and the blood at the corners of his mouth, tears burst out again: "Why are you so stupid, why did you come back to save me..."
Chu Mochen raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Yun Yao's eyes, his eyes firm and gentle: "I said that I will not let anything happen to you. Even if it costs my life, I will never go back on my word." After that, he struggled to stand up and gripped the sword again. Although his body was a little shaky, his indomitable momentum did not diminish at all.
The guardian beast would not give them a chance to breathe. It pounced on them again with its fangs and claws bared. This time, a black flame spurted out of its mouth. Wherever the flame went, the ground was instantly burned into grooves, and the scorching heat rushed towards them.
Chu Mochen pulled Yun Yao behind him, waving his sword with both hands, and his spiritual power surged wildly, forming sword curtains, trying to resist the raging flames. Yun Yao was behind him, closing her eyes tightly, concentrating her mind, trying to sense the fluctuations of the surrounding spiritual power, trying to find the weakness of the guardian beast. She knew that at this moment, only by finding its weak point would there be a glimmer of hope, otherwise, both of them would die here today.
At this life-or-death moment, time seemed to freeze, and every second passed in an extremely long time. Chu Mochen's spiritual power was constantly depleting, and the sword curtain gradually became thinner, while the guardian beast's attack became more and more fierce. Yun Yao was anxious, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, soaking her clothes. Suddenly, she opened her eyes abruptly, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes, and she shouted loudly: "Chu Mochen, there is a place under its abdomen where the spiritual power fluctuation is relatively weak, attack there!"
Chu Mochen heard this and seized the opportunity without hesitation. While the guardian beast was spitting out flames, he flashed like a ghost and approached its abdomen. He gathered all his spiritual power into the tip of the sword and stabbed it fiercely.
The guardian beast seemed to sense the danger and twisted its body desperately to avoid the fatal blow. But Chu Mochen was not willing to let go of this fleeting opportunity. He gritted his teeth and stabbed hard, and the long sword finally pierced into the weak spot.
The guardian beast let out a shrill scream, and the black mist instantly became chaotic. It struggled frantically, trying to throw Chu Mochen off. Chu Mochen held the hilt tightly, his feet off the ground, but still did not let go. He knew that once he let go, all his previous efforts would be in vain, and they would still be unable to escape the bad luck.
Seeing this, Yun Yao endured the pain and rushed forward, holding the hilt of the long sword with both hands, and exerted force together with Chu Mochen. The spiritual power of the two people blended with each other at this moment, forming a more powerful force, which continuously flowed along the sword body into the body of the guardian beast.
The guardian beast's struggles became weaker and weaker, and finally, it fell to the ground with a bang, stirring up a cloud of dust. Its eyes gradually lost their luster, and its huge body slowly turned into a pile of ashes and dissipated into the air.
The crisis was resolved, Chu Mochen and Yun Yao looked at each other, thousands of words were expressed in this affectionate gaze. The misunderstandings and estrangements in the past seemed so insignificant in this moment of life and death, as if they had never existed. They hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's heartbeats, the joy of surviving the disaster and the deep love for each other, completely overwhelmed them at this moment.
After a long time, Yun Yao raised her head, looked at the blood on the corner of Chu Mochen's mouth, and said distressedly: "You are injured, let's find a place to heal first."
Chu Mochen gently stroked Yun Yao's messy hair, smiled and nodded: "Okay, as long as you are okay, my injury is nothing." After that, he put his arm around Yun Yao's waist, and the two supported each other and walked towards the depths of the secret realm. There, there was a place with abundant spiritual power, which was just right for them to recuperate and restore their spiritual power. It also carried their hope of working together in the future...
