Chapter 249 The Critical Strike
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen sneaked all the way, relying on their mutual understanding and superb concealment skills, they cleverly avoided wave after wave of patrolling guards, and finally arrived at the source of energy of the dark forces.
The scene before them shocked them. The energy source was surrounded by layers of restrictions that shone with dark light, like a sleeping giant beast, emitting a chilling aura. Several powerful guards stood around like statues, with surging dark spiritual power flowing through their bodies, and their eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly.
Yun Yao frowned slightly. She could feel the powerful force contained in these restrictions. It was not easy to break them. She turned to look at Chu Mochen and whispered, "These restrictions are extremely complicated. We have to be careful." Chu Mochen nodded slightly, tightened his grip on the hilt of the sword, and his eyes were firm: "It's okay, we'll do it together."
The two approached the restriction cautiously. Yun Yao stretched out her hand first, releasing a spiritual power thread, slowly reaching for the restriction. When the spiritual power thread touched the restriction, a black arc instantly spread along the thread. Yun Yao was startled and quickly withdrew her spiritual power.
"This restriction has an automatic counterattack function and can absorb spiritual energy." Yun Yao said solemnly. Chu Mochen pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's try to attack from multiple directions at the same time to disperse its defense power."
So, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood on both sides of the energy source and cast spells at the same time. Yun Yao danced with her hands quickly, muttering something, and colorful rays of light flew out from her palms, rushing towards the restriction like a smart elf. When these rays of light touched the restriction, they bloomed with brilliant brilliance, trying to find the weak point of the restriction.
Chu Mochen drew his sword, and the sword was shining. He moved as fast as lightning, swinging his sword quickly, and sharp sword energy crisscrossed and coordinated with Yun Yao's magic to attack the restriction. However, the restriction only trembled slightly, and there was no obvious damage.
As they continued to attack, the guards seemed to notice something was wrong and rushed towards them. Yun Yao became anxious and increased the output of spiritual power, shouting, "Get rid of these guards first, otherwise we will be besieged."
Chu Mochen responded and turned to face the guard who was in the front. The guard was tall and held a huge black battle axe. When the battle axe was swung, it brought up waves of black whirlwind. Chu Mochen was not afraid at all. He jumped up and his long sword drew a graceful arc in the air and pierced the guard's throat. The guard quickly blocked it with the battle axe, and there was a loud "clang" sound, and sparks flew everywhere.
Yun Yao cast a defensive spell to cover herself, then formed seals with her hands and shouted, "Spiritual Flame Attack!" A ball of blazing flames shot out from her hands and swept towards the guards. Wherever the flames reached, the air was burned and twisted. The guards cast spells to resist, but several weaker guards were still hit by the flames and screamed in pain.
With Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's strenuous resistance, the guards were temporarily suppressed. But they knew that time was running out, and if they could not destroy the energy source as soon as possible, they would be in dire straits once more members of the dark forces arrived.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, calmed down, closed her eyes, and began to communicate with the system in her mind. "System, is there any way to break this restriction?" The system's voice sounded in her mind: "Host, you can try to combine the power of light and purification, and use it as a guide, and perhaps you can find a flaw in the restriction."
Yun Yao's heart moved. She remembered that the secret book she got from the ruins seemed to have records about the power of light and purification. She quickly searched in her storage bag, found the secret book, and quickly browsed through it. After a while, she found the relevant cultivation method.
Yun Yao immediately followed the instructions and began to circulate her spiritual power, trying to transform the spiritual power in her body into the power of light and purification. This process was not easy, beads of sweat gradually appeared on her forehead, and her face turned a little pale. But she gritted her teeth and persisted, with only one belief in her heart: to destroy the source of energy and save the world of cultivation.
Chu Mochen was worried when he saw Yun Yao's abnormality, but he knew that he couldn't disturb her at this moment. He could only fight harder to resist the guards' attacks, and gradually more wounds appeared on his body.
Finally, Yun Yao successfully transformed her spiritual power into the power of light and purification. Her hands emitted a soft white light that seemed to have a sacred aura, causing the surrounding darkness to retreat.
Yun Yao slowly opened her eyes, her eyes were firm. She walked towards the restriction again and gently placed the light of her hands on it. This time, when the light came into contact with the restriction, there was no counterattack as before, but it slowly penetrated into it.
Yun Yao was delighted. She increased her spiritual power output and moved her hands slowly along the restriction, trying to find the core node. Under the light, the internal structure of the restriction gradually emerged. Yun Yao found that there was a fist-sized black crystal just above the energy source, which was the core of the restriction.
Just as Yun Yao was about to attack the core, a guard broke through Chu Mochen's defense and rushed towards Yun Yao. Chu Mochen was horrified, and he rushed over desperately. At the moment when the guard's attack was about to fall on Yun Yao, he blocked the attack with his body.
"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao exclaimed, her eyes full of heartache. Chu Mochen barely stood still, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "I'm fine, quickly destroy the core."
Yun Yao's heart surged with anger. She gathered all the light and purification power to one point, and then shot it towards the core. The white light was like a sharp arrow, hitting the black crystal accurately.
The crystal trembled instantly, emitting a sharp buzzing sound. The surrounding restrictions also began to shake violently, and cracks appeared. Seeing this, Yun Yao continued to increase her strength, continuously injecting spiritual power into the light.
At the same time, Chu Mochen also endured the pain and came to Yun Yao. He merged his sword energy with Yun Yao's spiritual power, and the power of the two intertwined to form a more powerful force.
Under their combined attack, the black crystal finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded with a "boom". The restrictions around the energy source also collapsed, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated into the air.
As the restriction was broken, the energy source lost its protection and began to fluctuate violently. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen knew that this was the final critical moment. They looked at each other and then simultaneously launched their strongest attacks.
Yun Yao raised her hands high and chanted an ancient spell. The sky suddenly changed color, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed through the clouds. As the spell ended, a huge lightning column fell from the clouds and blasted straight towards the source of energy.
Chu Mochen poured all his spiritual power into the long sword, which instantly shone brightly. He shouted loudly, swung the long sword, and slashed a shocking sword energy at the energy source. This sword energy seemed to be able to tear through space, with endless power.
The lightning column and the sword energy hit the energy source at the same time, making a deafening sound. Under this powerful attack, the energy source instantly erupted with a strong energy wave, which shocked Yun Yao and Chu Mochen and sent them flying backwards.
They fell heavily to the ground, but their eyes were fixed on the direction of the energy source. They saw that the energy source was gradually disintegrated by the light, and turned into dots of light that dissipated in the air.
The strength of the dark forces was greatly reduced in an instant, and the dawn of victory for the alliance army finally appeared.
