The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 139 Critical Moment

In the life-and-death battle with the mysterious man, the situation became increasingly critical. The mysterious man's offensive was like a surging tide, one wave after another, leaving Yun Yao and Chu Mochen no chance to breathe.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood back to back, watching the enemies around them vigilantly. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, and their breathing became rapid. The sword in Chu Mochen's hand trembled slightly, and his physical strength was gradually exhausted in this fierce battle. Yun Yao also felt that the spiritual power in her body began to become a little disordered. She gritted her teeth and tried to adjust her state.

"Chu Mochen, we can't just sit there and wait to die." Yun Yao said in a low voice.

Chu Mochen nodded, his eyes revealing a firm look: "Yes, I know. But these mysterious people are too powerful, we must think of a way."

While they were talking, the mysterious man launched another round of attacks. Several black rays of light came towards them, as fast as lightning. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen dodged quickly, but there were too many rays of light, and they were still hit by one of them, and their bodies flew backwards involuntarily.

Yun Yao fell heavily to the ground, spurting blood from her mouth. She felt a sharp pain all over her body, and her vision became a little blurry. Chu Mochen's heart tightened when he saw this. He ignored his own injuries, quickly ran to Yun Yao and helped her up.

"Yun Yao, how are you?" Chu Mochen asked anxiously.

Yun Yao endured the pain and shook her head: "I'm fine, I can still hold on. We can't give up, there must be a way to defeat them."

At this moment, Yun Yao suddenly felt the system in her body respond. A warm force began to flow through her body, and the system's voice sounded in her mind: "Host, it has been detected that you are in danger. Now we are providing you with powerful strength and skills. Please use them reasonably."

Yun Yao was delighted. She knew this was the key to their turning the situation around. She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and felt the power transmitted to her by the system. After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, and golden light flashed in her eyes.

"Chu Mochen, I have a solution." Yun Yao stood up and said to Chu Mochen.

Chu Mochen looked at her in confusion: "What method?"

Yun Yao did not answer him, but rushed directly towards the mysterious man. Her speed was much faster than before, and her figure was like a ghost. The mysterious man was a little surprised by Yun Yao's sudden counterattack, and they quickly took a defensive posture.

A long sword formed by spiritual power appeared in Yun Yao's hand, and the blade flashed with dazzling light. She swung the sword and attacked the mysterious man. Each sword contained a powerful force, and the air was cut by the sword blade, making a "hissing" sound.

The mysterious people dodged Yun Yao's attack, but Yun Yao was too fast and they couldn't avoid it completely. Several mysterious people were hit by Yun Yao's sword and fell to the ground instantly, losing their fighting ability.

Chu Mochen was also surprised when he saw Yun Yao's changes. He knew that Yun Yao must have received some powerful support, so he also cheered up and joined the battle again.

Chu Mochen used his strongest swordsmanship and cooperated with Yun Yao. Their attacks were as smooth as flowing water, and they had perfect tacit understanding. Under their attacks, the mysterious man gradually fell into a disadvantage.

However, the mysterious man was not willing to accept defeat. They began to gather together, muttering something, as if preparing some powerful moves. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen felt a strong energy wave forming among the mysterious man. They knew that if they let the mysterious man complete this move, they would face a more dangerous situation.

"We can't let them succeed." Yun Yao shouted.

She increased the speed of her attack, trying to interrupt the mysterious man's spellcasting. But the mysterious man seemed to be well prepared, and they sent some people to block Yun Yao's attack and buy time for others.

Yun Yao was in a tough fight. Although her strength had improved, she still felt a bit exhausted facing the obstruction of so many mysterious people. At this moment, Chu Mochen suddenly appeared behind the mysterious man, and the sword in his hand stabbed the mysterious man who was casting a spell.

The mysterious man did not expect Chu Mochen to attack from behind, their spellcasting was interrupted, and the powerful energy fluctuation disappeared. Yun Yao took the opportunity to launch the final attack. She swung the long sword in her hand forward, and a huge sword energy flew towards the mysterious man.

Wherever the sword energy went, everything was destroyed. The mysterious people had no power to resist this powerful sword energy, and were hit by the sword energy and disappeared into thin air.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen finally succeeded in defeating the mysterious man. They both sat on the ground exhausted, breathing heavily. This battle consumed a lot of their physical and spiritual energy, but their hearts were filled with joy.

"We won." Yun Yao said with a smile.

Chu Mochen also showed a relieved smile: "Yes, we won. Thanks to you, Yunyao, if you hadn't received the help of the system, we might really have to explain here."

Yun Yao shook her head: "No, this is the result of our joint efforts. If you weren't by my side, I wouldn't have been able to hold on to the end."

After this battle, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's relationship became closer. Not only did they trust and support each other in the battle, but they also occupied an important position in each other's hearts.

They rested for a while and then began to clean up the battlefield. They found that the mysterious man had nothing valuable on him except some strange symbols and patterns, and they didn't know what these symbols and patterns represented.

"What are the origins of these mysterious people? Why are they here to steal the ore?" Yun Yao said puzzledly.

Chu Mochen frowned and thought for a while: "I don't know either. But judging from their strength and behavior, they must be organized. After we go back, we must tell the elders about this matter and let them investigate it thoroughly."

Yun Yao nodded: "Yes, you are right. Let's collect ore first, and then return to the sect as soon as possible."

They carefully collected the ore and then set out on the journey back to the sect. On the way back, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen didn't speak, they were both thinking about the battle and the mysterious man.

After returning to the sect, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen immediately reported the mission to the elders. After listening to their report, the elders' faces became very serious.

"You did a great job and completed the mission successfully. But the appearance of these mysterious people has made things a little complicated. We will send people to investigate their origins and purpose. You should rest well and recover your strength during this period." said the elder.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen nodded and left the elder's room. They returned to their own residence and began to practice in seclusion to restore their physical and spiritual strength.

After a period of training, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's strength returned to their peak. They also learned from the elders that the sect had begun investigating the mysterious man, but there had been no progress so far.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen decided to continue to work hard to improve their strength. They knew that only by becoming stronger could they cope with various challenges that might arise in the future.

During the practice, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen often exchanged their thoughts and experiences. They learned from each other and improved together. Yun Yao's system also constantly provided her with help, allowing her to practice faster than before.

As time went by, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen became stronger and stronger. Their status in the sect became higher and higher, and they became role models in the eyes of many disciples.

However, they did not become complacent because of this. They knew that they still had a long way to go and many challenges were waiting for them. They always remained vigilant and worked hard to achieve their goals.
