Chapter 217 Fighting the Remnants Again, Breaking the Crisis
The earth trembled violently, as if some giant beast were turning over underground.
Dai Yao's expression changed: "Holy crap! No way, is this never going to end?" Before she finished speaking, huge cracks appeared in the ground, from which countless black wisps of gas surged out, carrying a nauseating stench.
The black mist quickly condensed into hideous monsters that let out piercing roars and pounced on the crowd.
"Yao Yao, be careful!" The mysterious figure shielded Dai Yao behind him, brandishing his spirit sword with sword energy that slashed down several monsters.
Dai Yao clutched her aching chest. This damn aftereffect!
"It's like when it rains, it pours! I haven't even recovered yet!" She gritted her teeth, unleashed her magic weapon, and joined the battle.
The enemy was too numerous, surging in like a tide, and the defensive formation of our forces was on the verge of collapse.
"Hold on! Everyone hold on!" Dai Yao shouted, but she couldn't hide her anxiety.
Key members of their own forces were all wounded and struggling to hold on, and it seemed that the enemy was about to break through their defenses.
Just then, the hope of the cultivation world, who had been protected in the rear, suddenly let out a clear whistle, and a strange energy fluctuation spread from his body.
This energy fluctuation spread like ripples, and wherever it passed, the monsters' movements became sluggish, as if they were sinking into a swamp.
"A good opportunity!" Dai Yao's eyes flashed, and she immediately commanded her forces to adjust their formation and concentrate their forces to attack the slowed monsters.
The situation has finally stabilized temporarily.
Dai Yao wiped the sweat from her forehead and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
However, at that moment, a suffocating pressure came from afar, and a cold voice echoed in the air: "A bunch of ants, how dare you resist?"
The mysterious figure's expression changed, and he whispered, "Not good..."
Before the chilling voice had even faded, a figure dressed in a black robe appeared out of thin air, surrounded by thick black mist, like a messenger from hell.
He was the mastermind's right-hand man.
He gave a sinister smile: "Today, none of you will leave alive!" With that, he flashed forward with astonishing speed, instantly appearing in front of an important member of his own faction and striking out with a palm.
With a loud "boom," the important member was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Wow, that was brutal!" Dai Yao couldn't help but complain. This assistant was practically a violent maniac!
She leaped up, her magical weapon transforming into a streak of light, striking her assistant directly in the face.
"I'm going to have a serious talk with you today!"
The assistant snorted coldly, twisted his body strangely, and dodged Dai Yao's attack.
He struck back with a palm, the wind from which was fierce, aimed straight at Dai Yao's chest.
Dai Yao quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the attack.
The two of them were going back and forth, fighting fiercely.
Although Dai Yao was not as strong as her assistant, she was more agile and resourceful, using the surrounding terrain and buildings to cleverly evade her assistant's attacks.
Every now and then, she would pull off some "tricks" that left her assistants defenseless.
The mysterious figure stayed by Dai Yao's side the whole time, his gaze following her every move, his eyes filled with worry and affection.
Seeing Dai Yao escape danger time and time again, he felt both gratified and nervous.
This silent protection filled Dai Yao's heart with warmth.
"Yao Yao, be careful!" the mysterious figure suddenly warned.
Dai Yao felt a chill run down her spine and quickly jumped backward.
Suddenly, her assistant appeared behind her, holding a ball of black energy that emanated an aura of destruction.
Having dodged the attack, Dai Yao wiped the sweat from her brow, then suddenly gave her assistant a meaningful smile, "Have you forgotten something?"
The assistant was taken aback and subconsciously looked around before realizing that they had unknowingly been led into a formation by Dai Yao.
This formation was secretly set up by Dai Yao!
"Oh no, we've fallen for their trap!" The assistant's expression changed drastically.
Dai Yao smiled smugly: "You only realized it now? Too late!" With a command, the formation was activated, and countless golden rays rose from the ground, trapping her assistant within.
"You think you can trap me with this broken formation?" The assistant scoffed disdainfully, the black energy ball in his hand shining brightly as he tried to forcefully break the formation.
"Don't waste your energy," Dai Yao said, arms crossed, looking like she was watching a good show. "This is my carefully prepared 'Ten Directions Annihilation Formation,' specifically designed to counter your kind of sinister energy!"
The power of the formation grew stronger and stronger, and the black aura on the assistant's body was gradually suppressed, making his face increasingly pale.
Taking this opportunity, key members of their own forces and rising stars of the cultivation world all made their moves, unleashing a barrage of spells and magical artifacts that rained down on their assistants like a storm.
"Boom boom boom!" A series of explosions rang out, and the assistant was covered in dust and looked disheveled.
"Damn it!" the assistant roared, and with all his might, he finally tore a crack in the formation and escaped.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Dai Yao sneered, a jade talisman appearing in her hand, her prepared backup plan.
"Chase!" Dai Yao gave the order, and everyone immediately gave chase.
A mysterious figure approached Dai Yao and whispered, "Yao Yao, are you alright?"
Dai Yao shook her head, a sly glint in her eyes: "The real show is about to begin..." She glanced in the direction her assistant had fled, a mysterious smile playing on her lips: "Let me see where you can run to..." She paused, her gaze suddenly sharpening, "Pass the word down, everyone proceed as planned."
The assistant fled in a sorry state, his black figure darting through the mountains and forests like a stray dog.
He ran while cursing, "Damn Dai Yao! How dare she scheme against me! I swear I will not rest until I avenge this!" He clutched his chest, where a deep wound had been slashed by the flying sword of the rising star of the cultivation world, and it throbbed with pain.
Dai Yao and the others pursued relentlessly, like a pack of wolves eyeing their prey.
"Yaoyao, the Cliff of Broken Souls is ahead, be careful!" the mysterious figure warned.
Dai Yao remained completely unfazed, instead revealing a wicked smile: "What's there to be afraid of? So what if it's the Broken Soul Cliff? Today, I'll turn him into a Broken Soul Ghost!"
Upon hearing this, the assistant was terrified and fled even more desperately.
Suddenly, a powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from ahead.
The assistant was taken aback and stopped instinctively.
Could it be...
The spiritual veins have been revived?
!
A glint of greed flashed in his eyes; this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
If one can absorb this spiritual energy, not only will their injuries heal, but they will also be able to reach a higher level!
Without a second thought, the assistant immediately rushed towards the direction from which the spiritual energy fluctuations were coming from.
However, what he didn't know was that this was a trap set by Dai Yao!
Key members of their own forces lay in ambush nearby. Following Dai Yao's instructions, they disguised themselves as a damaged spiritual vein, releasing powerful energy to lure the enemy closer.
The moment the assistant approached the "spiritual vein," the ambushing crowd attacked simultaneously.
With a loud "boom," the assistant was struck by the powerful force, flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground, spitting out blood.
"Cough cough cough..." The assistant struggled to his feet, staring in disbelief at the scene before him.
Only then did he realize that he had been fooled!
"You...you all..." the assistant said, pointing at Dai Yao and the others, his voice trembling.
Dai Yao walked up to him, looking down at him with a cold smile: "Surprise! Didn't expect that, did you?" She paused, her eyes suddenly turning icy. "The game is over."
The mysterious figure walked to Dai Yao's side, gently took her hand, and said softly, "You've worked hard."
Dai Yao turned to look at him, a hint of tenderness flashing in her eyes, before her usual cunning returned: "This is nothing! The real show is just beginning..." Her eyes sharpened as she gazed into the distance, "Send the order down to strengthen security, in case..." She suddenly stopped, her gaze falling on a grove of trees in the distance, her eyes narrowing slightly, "What's that..."
