The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 334 Ambush encountered

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen walked along the winding mountain path with full vigilance, heading for the suspected hiding place of the mysterious organization. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only their hurried footsteps and slightly heavy breathing echoing in the valley.

The morning mist in the mountains had not yet completely dissipated, and it was entangled in the branches of the trees beside the road, as if it had covered the forest with a layer of hazy gauze, which limited the field of vision and the visible range was only a few feet away. Yun Yao frowned, her eyes full of solemnity. She stopped from time to time, mobilized her spiritual power, and tried to sense whether there was any danger around. Chu Mochen was also concentrating, holding the sword tightly in his hand, and the sword body trembled slightly, as if he was in tune with him and also felt the undercurrent surging in this depressing atmosphere.

"Yun Yao, it's foggy here and the terrain is complicated. We must be extra careful." Chu Mochen lowered his voice and looked around, his tone full of concern and caution.

Yun Yao nodded slightly and responded softly: "I know that this mysterious organization acts in a secretive manner. I believe they will not let us find their lair easily. Everyone, cheer up." After that, she turned her head and looked at the disciples who came with her, her eyes full of encouragement.

Everyone looked serious, holding their weapons tightly, and moved forward step by step.

When they reached a valley, the fog around them became thicker and thicker, like thick rice soup, making it almost impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. Yun Yao suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in her heart. Just as she was about to open her mouth to warn everyone, she felt her feet suddenly sink - a trap was triggered! In an instant, the ground collapsed, and spikes broke out from the bottom of the pit, flashing a cold light.

"Be careful!" Chu Mochen reacted very quickly, shouting loudly, and swung the long sword in his hand. A sharp sword energy slashed down to the ground, cutting off the spikes that were about to pierce everyone. At the same time, he flashed and rushed to Yun Yao's side like a ghost, grabbed her arm, and took her to jump to a safe area on the side.

Disciples from other sects also used their skills, jumping or flying with swords, trying their best to avoid this sudden and deadly trap. However, several disciples reacted a little slower, and although they were not seriously injured by the spikes, they sprained their ankles in panic and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.

However, the crisis has just begun.

Just as everyone was still in shock, a sharp whistling sound suddenly came from the surrounding mountains and forests, followed by dense arrows shooting from all directions like raindrops. These arrows were wrapped in black airflow, and were obviously imbued with evil spiritual power. Once hit, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Form a defensive formation!" Yun Yao shouted loudly, and quickly formed seals with her hands. A light blue light curtain instantly stood up in front of everyone. This was the defensive spell she practiced, which could temporarily withstand a burst of attacks.

Chu Mochen rushed into the rain of arrows as fast as lightning, and the long sword in his hand danced tightly, turning into a silver sword curtain, knocking away the sharp arrows that were shot at the weak points of the light curtain. His eyes were cold and murderous, and every time he swung his sword, he brought with him a great spiritual power, and he actually opened up a safe area in the rain of arrows.

The disciples of the sect quickly followed the formation they practiced every day, standing back to back in a tight circle, and each of them exerted their spiritual power to bless the light curtain held up by Yun Yao, making the light curtain more resilient. But the rain of arrows seemed endless, one wave after another, and the light curtain was constantly rippled, and the light gradually dimmed.

"We can't go on like this. We must take the initiative and find their archers!" Chu Mochen shouted loudly, with determination in his eyes.

Yun Yao gritted her teeth and nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you. The rest of you stay here and don't act rashly!" After that, she flashed and rushed towards the direction where the rain of arrows was most concentrated with Chu Mochen.

The two of them were agile, shuttling quickly through the forest, dodging waves of sharp arrows with their keen perception. Suddenly, Yun Yao's eyes focused and she found that there was a faint spiritual power fluctuation on a big tree in front of her. She raised her hand and pointed: "There!"

Chu Mochen looked in the direction she pointed, his eyes locked on the big tree, and he exerted force on his feet, shooting over like an arrow. When he was near the tree, he tapped the trunk with his toes, using the force to soar into the air, and with the force of thunder in his hand, he chopped down the tree fiercely.

With a scream, an archer in black fell from the tree, with a deep sword wound on his chest and blood gushing out. But before they could catch their breath, several more men in black jumped out from the surrounding bushes, holding sharp blades and rushing towards them frantically.

These black-clad men were obviously well-trained warriors, their moves were fierce and deadly, and they cooperated tacitly, surrounding Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Yun Yao's eyes turned cold, and the spiritual power in her body surged. Her hands danced quickly, and ice spikes appeared out of thin air, shooting at the surrounding black-clad men like sharp arrows.

The men in black dodged one after another, but a few of them were pierced through the body by the ice spikes and fell to the ground and died instantly. Chu Mochen was not to be outdone, he shook his sword and performed a set of sharp sword techniques, and in the flashing of the sword, several men in black were covered in blood.

However, the number of enemies was too large. After they defeated one wave, another wave came. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen gradually felt that their spiritual power was a little exhausted. They also had several shallow wounds on their bodies. Blood oozed out and stained their clothes red.

At the same time, the disciples who stayed in place and defended the place were also caught in a hard battle. Although the rain of arrows slowed down a little, a group of mysterious people wearing black robes and strange masks rushed out from the other side of the forest. They were wielding various strange weapons, such as scimitars and chain hammers, with strange moves that made it difficult to defend against.

Although the disciples of the sect fought hard, they were outnumbered and their formation was broken into pieces. Unfortunately, several disciples were hit in the vitals by the mysterious man and fell to the ground and died on the spot. The blood spread on the ground and the pungent smell of blood filled the air.

"Senior brothers and sisters, we can't just sit there and wait to die, let's fight them!" A young disciple had a face full of grief and indignation, his eyes were red, and he wielded the sword in his hand vigorously as he rushed towards a mysterious man in a black robe.

Seeing this, the other disciples also boosted their morale, and shouted, fighting the enemy to the death. However, their casualties continued to rise, and the situation became increasingly critical.

As for Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, after repelling another wave of men in black, they stood back to back, panting heavily, with the wounds on their bodies aching slightly.

"Yun Yao, if we continue like this, we will all die here today. We must find a way to break out." Chu Mochen frowned, his voice revealing a hint of anxiety.

Yun Yao looked around, a look of determination flashed in her eyes: "I will lead some of them away, you take the opportunity to lead the disciples to break out to the east, the terrain there is relatively open, maybe there is still a glimmer of hope."

"No, it's too dangerous. Let's go together!" Chu Mochen refused without hesitation and turned to look at Yun Yao with a firm look in his eyes.

Yun Yao felt warm in her heart, but the situation was urgent and she could not afford any hesitation. She raised her hand and gently stroked Chu Mochen's cheek, saying softly, "Chu Lang, there is no time to argue. If we are all trapped here, we will be annihilated. You take the disciples and go first, and I will meet you later."

After saying that, without waiting for Chu Mochen's response, Yun Yao flashed and ran towards the west, shouting loudly: "If you want to catch me, come here!"

Upon seeing this, the men in black sent out most of their men to chase after Yun Yao.

“Yun Yao!” Chu Mochen shouted anxiously, but he also knew that he could not let Yun Yao’s sacrifice go to waste. He gritted his teeth, turned around and shouted to the remaining disciples: “Everyone follow me, break out to the east!”

Under the leadership of Chu Mochen, the disciples of the sect summoned up their last bit of courage and fought hard towards the east. Along the way, they encountered many obstacles, but with their tenacious will and tacit cooperation, they managed to carve out a bloody path step by step.

Meanwhile, Yun Yao led a large number of men in black through the mountains and forests. She was agile and used her familiarity with the terrain to hide in caves and trees, making the men in black run around in circles. However, the other side was outnumbered and had many experts, so gradually, Yun Yao was forced into a desperate situation - there was a steep cliff in front of her and the men in black were chasing her relentlessly from behind.

"Hmph, let's see where you can escape today!" A man who looked like the leader of the men in black stood in front, looking at Yun Yao coldly, his eyes full of pride.

A trace of determination flashed in Yun Yao's eyes. She quietly mobilized the power of her body system, ready to fight to the death. Just as the man in black was about to pounce, she suddenly formed seals with both hands, and spiritual power burst out of her body. A dazzling light bloomed from her body.

The light was like the scorching sun in the sky, so bright that the men in black raised their hands to shield their eyes. Yun Yao took the opportunity to flash and ran towards the edge of the cliff. When she was close to the cliff, she tapped the ground with her toes, took advantage of the force and jumped down the cliff.

"Want to run? Not that easy!" The leader of the men in black shouted angrily and rushed to the edge of the cliff with several of his men. Looking down, he only saw clouds and mist, and there was no trace of Yun Yao.

"Search, she must not be dead, you must find her!" the leader of the men in black ordered angrily.

The group of men in black took orders and searched along the edge of the cliff, but they didn't know that the moment Yun Yao jumped off the cliff, the system activated a life-saving skill - slow-falling, which greatly slowed her falling speed. At the same time, there were some vines growing on the cliff. Yun Yao was quick-witted and reached out to grab the vines, using the force to stabilize her body, and climbed towards the bottom of the cliff little by little.

She prayed silently in her heart, hoping that Chu Mochen and the disciples of the sect could successfully break through. She also secretly made up her mind to get out of this predicament alive, meet up with them, and uncover the shocking conspiracy behind this mysterious organization.

At this time, Chu Mochen led his disciples, and after a bloody battle, they finally succeeded in breaking through and came to an open area in the east. But when they looked around, they could not see Yun Yao, and they were full of worry.

"Senior Brother Chu, Senior Sister Yun..." A disciple hesitated to speak, with anxiety in his eyes.

Chu Mochen clenched his fists and looked in the direction where Yun Yao left with a firm gaze: "Yun Yao will be fine, let's find a place to recuperate and wait for her to come back. She will definitely come back."

Although he said this, he was also worried. Yun Yao faced so many enemies alone and jumped off the cliff. His life or death was uncertain. How could he not worry? But at this moment, as the leader of the group, he had to pretend to be calm, boost morale, and wait for Yun Yao to return and fight together again.
