Chapter 412: Difficult Advance
The night was dark, like a huge black curtain, covering the entire sect. The core of the Shadow Demon was hidden behind layers of shadows, emitting a chilling evil aura, like the deepest vortex in the darkness, ready to devour any creature that dared to approach.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood side by side. Although they were exhausted, they were like two pine trees, standing firm in the storm. Their clothes were already torn to pieces, fluttering in the wind. The blood on them dried and condensed, like dark red flowers, embellishing this tragic battlefield. Chu Mochen held a long sword, and the sword was shining with cold light, but the light was much dimmer than when he first fought, just like he was over-consuming his spiritual power at the moment and was a little powerless. Yun Yao stood beside him, her hands trembling slightly. The many spells she had just cast had almost exhausted her spiritual power. Her face was as pale as paper, but her eyes were still burning with a firm flame.
The demonic shadows were like surging black tides, rushing towards them in waves. These demonic shadows were erratic, and the dark spiritual power around them was like materialized black smoke, emitting a foul and pungent smell. They were waving their claws and teeth, attacking fiercely, and every time they swung their arms, they were wrapped in black energy that could tear the air, like evil spirits from hell demanding their lives.
Yun Yao gritted her teeth, resisting the weakness caused by the overdrawn spiritual power, and quickly formed seals with her hands. Her fingers were like nimble butterflies, dancing in the air, and rays of spiritual power flashed out with her hand seals, blending into the attacks of the crowd. However, every time she formed a seal, it seemed to draw strength from her bones, and beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, dripping onto the dusty and blood-stained ground.
Chu Mochen stared at the iron wall-like magic shadow defense line in front of him with a sharp gaze, and he was extremely anxious. He knew very well that if he could not break through as soon as possible, everyone's spiritual power would be completely exhausted, and then the sect would be doomed. Suddenly, his eyes flashed, and he spotted a slightly weak link in the magic shadow defense line. That was the intersection of the two magic shadows, and the spiritual power fluctuations were slightly disordered.
Without time to think, Chu Mochen attacked like a cheetah, shouting: "Sword breaks the sky!" In an instant, the remaining spiritual power in his body exploded like a ignited gunpowder barrel. The long sword hummed in his hand, and the sword body shone brightly, turning into a dazzling silver lightning, carrying endless sword energy, and slashed towards the weak point swiftly.
This sword, he used up all his strength at the moment, as if to split the dark night sky in half. The sword energy was crisscrossed, and wherever it went, the air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, making a "hissing" sound. The demons sensed this deadly threat and avoided it in fear, and the weak defense line was instantly torn open.
"Charge!" Chu Mochen took advantage of this fleeting opportunity and rushed towards the core like an arrow. His figure was like a meteor passing through the darkness, resolute and courageous. However, how could the demons let him go easily? In an instant, several black energy beams whistled towards him from all directions.
Chu Mochen waved his sword and tried to resist. But his spiritual power had already reached the bottom, and every time he blocked, it seemed extremely strenuous, and his body became slower and slower. Just as he was about to approach the core, the core hidden in the depths of the darkness suddenly attacked like an enraged beast. A black energy beam as thick as a bucket, like a black lightning, burst out from the core, at an extremely fast speed, and hit Chu Mochen in the blink of an eye.
"Puff!" Chu Mochen felt as if his chest was hit by a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth. He was like a kite with a broken string, swaying in the air for a few times and almost falling. The powerful impact made his blood surge in his body, and his internal organs seemed to be displaced. His eyes were full of stars and everything was blurry.
"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao was extremely anxious when she saw this, and she shouted his name heartbreakingly. She rushed over regardless of everything, her steps staggering but firm. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind, which was to support Chu Mochen and not let him get hurt.
In the blink of an eye, Yun Yao rushed to Chu Mochen's side. She stretched out her arms and held him steadily. Looking at Chu Mochen's pale face and the blood that kept pouring out of his mouth, Yun Yao's eyes instantly turned red, and tears rolled in her eyes, almost bursting out.
"Chu Mochen, how are you? Don't scare me!" Yun Yao said with a trembling voice. She held Chu Mochen's arm tightly with both hands, as if to pass her strength to him.
Chu Mochen leaned in Yun Yao's arms, feeling her warmth and concern, but his heart was filled with resentment. He raised his head with difficulty and looked at Yun Yao, with a determined fire burning in his eyes: "Yun Yao, I'm fine, cough cough... We can't give up, we must destroy the core!" Before he finished speaking, he coughed violently again, and blood splattered on Yun Yao's clothes.
Yun Yao shook her head desperately, unable to hold back her tears any longer, and fell: "You are already so injured, don't talk first, I will take you away." She tried to support Chu Mochen and move him back, away from this dangerous place.
However, Chu Mochen suddenly grabbed Yun Yao's wrist and stared at her with scorching eyes: "No, Yun Yao, if you retreat now, all your previous efforts will be in vain and your sect will be finished. We must give it a try!"
Yun Yao looked at Chu Mochen's determined eyes and was shocked. She knew that Chu Mochen was right. If she took a step back at this moment, she would fall into an abyss. The safety of the sect and the lives of countless fellow disciples depended on them. She took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face, and nodded vigorously: "Okay, let's go together!"
At this critical moment, a strange scene happened. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, as if they had a telepathic connection, and their spiritual powers actually produced a wonderful resonance. They could clearly feel the faith and strength in each other's hearts, as if two rushing rivers converged and merged at this moment, turning into an unprecedented powerful spiritual power, surging and blending between the two.
This power was like the warm sunshine in spring, dispelling their physical and mental fatigue and pain; it was also like the surging waves, containing endless explosive power. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen felt this power, and a touch of surprise and determination flashed in their eyes at the same time.
"Let's go!" Chu Mochen shouted softly, and with the help of Yun Yao, he stood up straight. The two of them once again circulated their spiritual power and injected this powerful force into the attack. In an instant, their bodies shone brightly, as if they were covered with a layer of dazzling armor.
Yun Yao formed seals with both hands, faster than before, and the spiritual light danced in the air like colorful ribbons. Her eyes became extremely sharp, locking onto the core of the demon shadow, muttering something in her mouth, and casting auxiliary spells one after another to escort Chu Mochen's charge.
Chu Mochen held a long sword, the blade of the sword shone brightly, like a reborn dragon. He walked steadily towards the core step by step, each step leaving a deep footprint, as if he was going to trample through the earth. He swung the long sword, and his sword moves were extremely sharp, like a violent storm, and wherever he went, the demonic shadows collapsed.
Driven by this powerful force, they seemed to have forgotten their pain and fatigue, with only one goal in mind - to destroy the core of the Shadow Demon. The Shadow Demons rushed over frantically, trying to stop them, but in front of this powerful fusion of spiritual power, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, vulnerable.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen cooperated with each other in perfect harmony. They were like two sides of the same coin, one was the main attacker and the other was the auxiliary, advancing towards the core courageously. In the darkness, their figures were like two shining stars, cutting through the darkness and bringing the dawn of hope. Although the road ahead was still full of difficulties, at this moment, the faith in their hearts was as solid as a rock and could not be shaken.
