Chapter 105 Determined by Fate, A Shocking Comeback
Dai Yao and the mysterious figure clashed like sharp blades, and in that instant, an unspoken understanding flowed between them. They knew that this sudden phenomenon was like a thread of fate, tightly binding the final outcome of the battle of destiny.
"Charge!" Dai Yao gripped the mysterious figure's hand tightly, her voice brimming with barely suppressed excitement. After all, this was a pivotal moment—a moment to witness history, and perhaps even rewrite it!
As the two approached the massive, surging, and roaring vortex of fortune, an invisible and immense resistance rushed towards them, as if they had crashed into an invisible barrier forged from solid black iron. With a dull thud, the two were violently thrown back like kites with broken strings.
"What the hell is this? Is this some kind of staged accident?!" Dai Yao rubbed her throbbing forehead and couldn't help but complain.
This invisible wall is the mysterious restriction that protects the ultimate destiny.
The mysterious figure frowned; clearly, the restriction was more troublesome and difficult to deal with than they had anticipated.
Just when the air seemed to freeze in the tension, Lingkong's figure rushed over like a shooting star.
"Yaoyao, this restriction is very strange. I feel like my luck is being suppressed, and I can't use it at all," Lingkong said anxiously, his face pale.
Dai Yao took a deep breath, trying to suppress the panic surging in her heart. She understood that she was like a lone boat in a storm, and any panic could lead to the shipwreck and loss of life. She had to think calmly and find a way out of this predicament.
She slowly closed her eyes, focusing all her attention on sensing the flow of Qi.
The surrounding energy was in complete chaos, like countless menacing dragons locked in combat, or like a jumbled mess of yarn, sending chills down one's spine.
Dai Yao tried hard to discern the pattern in the chaos.
Time slipped by quietly, and large beads of sweat rolled down Dai Yao's forehead like beads from a broken string.
Just when she was about to give up, she suddenly caught a faint glimmer of fortune. This glimmer was completely out of place with the chaotic fortune around her, like a unique, twinkling lone star in the dark night sky, or a tiny hole in an impenetrable iron curtain!
"Found it!" Dai Yao suddenly opened her eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.
She pointed her finger in one direction, her tone certain: "There! There's a small flaw in the restriction!" With that, Dai Yao took the lead and flew towards that direction like an arrow, with the mysterious figure and Ling Kong following closely behind.
Dai Yao carefully guided the two, skillfully avoiding the repeated attacks of the restrictions with the help of her keen perception of the flow of Qi.
Finally, they successfully passed through the barrier and stepped into a mysterious and unpredictable space.
The energy in this space was so rich it was almost tangible, like a thick spiritual liquid that made one want to take a deep breath and immerse oneself in it.
"Phew, finally in..." Dai Yao breathed a sigh of relief. However, before she could even feel happy, the mysterious figure suddenly pulled her behind him and whispered urgently, "Be careful!"
As soon as Dai Yao finished speaking, a huge black phantom appeared out of thin air, as if it had suddenly crawled out of an endless abyss of darkness. The thing resembled a menacing octopus, waving countless thick tentacles, as if it wanted to cover the entire sky, its imposing aura terrifying.
"What the hell is this thing! It's even darker than my face!" Dai Yao couldn't help but complain, but her hands didn't slow down at all, and she quickly summoned her natal magic weapon - a shiny pink fan.
"Sweetie, it's up to you now!"
This phantom seemed to be formed from all the resentment of the luck that was plundered in the Great War of Luck. Its attack carried a strange aura that caused people's mental value to plummet, as if it could erode people's souls.
The mysterious figure stood firmly in front of Dai Yao like a towering mountain, his long sword flashing with cold light, its sword energy like a rainbow, severing the incoming tentacles one by one.
"Yaoyao, this thing is a bit strange. Its attacks can devour luck!" Lingkong said solemnly from behind, constantly sending luck to the two of them to replenish their energy, as if adding fuel to a flame that was about to go out.
"Absorbing luck? That's practically free!" Dai Yao's eyes lit up, secretly delighted. This phantom's weakness was too obvious! It was practically a walking experience pack!
While controlling Little Sweetie to unleash streaks of pink light, resembling the gentle glow of spring, she carefully observed the phantom's attack patterns.
Although this phantom came with overwhelming force, like a surging sea, its attack method was surprisingly simple. After each powerful attack, its own aura would pause briefly, like a game lag, revealing obvious weaknesses.
"Now!" Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat. This flaw was too obvious, like a torch in the dark night, a perfect opportunity delivered right to her doorstep!
The mysterious figure and Lingkong also keenly noticed this, and the three exchanged a knowing glance, their eyes conveying determination and trust.
The mysterious figure's sword energy became even more ferocious, like a raging storm, forcing back the phantom's tentacles and creating an excellent opportunity for Dai Yao to attack.
Ling Kong continuously channeled his own fortune to Dai Yao, like a surging river, providing her with powerful support.
Dai Yao took a deep breath. The little sweetie hummed in her hand, radiating a dazzling pink light, like a newborn sun.
Her gaze was sharp as she stared intently at the phantom, saying each word clearly, "Sweetie, unleash your ultimate move! Blind its eyes!"
The mysterious figure suddenly grabbed Dai Yao's wrist, his expression grave: "Wait..." The mysterious figure abruptly grabbed Dai Yao's wrist, his expression grave: "Wait, Yao Yao! Something's wrong with this thing!"
Dai Yao was poised to unleash Little Sweetie's ultimate move, aiming to blind the "octopus" monster, when she was suddenly interrupted by a mysterious figure. At that moment, she felt a rush of blood to her head, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Big brother, don't mess around at this crucial moment! We're just one last hit away from taking it down! This damn octopus is almost scattered, can't we just finish it off in one go?!"
The mysterious figure remained vigilant, pointing at the almost vanishing black phantom, his voice deep and powerful: "Look at its core."
Dai Yao looked in the direction he was pointing and then discovered that in the center of the phantom that was about to dissipate, there was actually a small bead that emitted a faint purple light.
This bead may seem inconspicuous, but it gives off an extremely dangerous feeling, like a deadly venomous snake lurking in the darkness.
"What...is this thing?" A sense of foreboding rose in Dai Yao's heart, as if an invisible hand was gripping her heart tightly.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not a good thing." The mysterious figure's eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and the longsword in his hand shone even brighter. "It's absorbing the dissipated luck around it! Including... the octopus monster's own!"
Good heavens, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind; this bead is the real final boss!
Dai Yao suddenly realized why the octopus monster's attack method was so simple and its weakness was so obvious; it was just bait!
"What should we do? We can't just leave it alone, can we?" Dai Yao had a bit of a headache. This battle of destiny was much more complicated than she had imagined, full of twists and turns!
The mysterious figure pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Yaoyao, you attract its attention, and I'll try to force it out!"
"Forced out? How?" Before Dai Yao could react, she felt a powerful force surge into her body like a tidal wave.
"Use your sweetheart!"
Dai Yao felt her internal energy surging like boiling magma. Little Sweetie vibrated wildly in her hand, emitting an unprecedentedly dazzling light, as if it were about to illuminate the entire dark space.
She subconsciously waved Little Sweetie at the purple bead, and a huge pink beam of light shot into the sky, like a pink dragon, instantly swallowing the black phantom that was about to completely dissipate, and heading straight for the bead!
The purple bead seemed to be greatly stimulated, its light intensified, and it began to tremble violently, like a frightened little beast.
"Now!" A glint of light flashed in the mysterious figure's eyes, and the long sword in his hand transformed into a streak of light, piercing straight at the purple bead like lightning!
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The purple bead suddenly burst forth with a dazzling purple light, like a divine thunderbolt that split the heavens and the earth, carrying a terrifying power that could destroy the world, instantly blasting the mysterious figure away!
"Watch out!" Dai Yao exclaimed, leaping like a nimble cheetah to catch the mysterious figure who was flying backward.
The purple light dissipated, leaving the spot empty; the bead... had vanished!
"It ran away?!" Dai Yao stared incredulously at the empty space before her, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.
The mysterious figure was as pale as paper, with a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. He shook his head, his gaze deep and mysterious: "No, it didn't run away..." He grabbed Dai Yao's hand tightly and said, word by word, "It... is on you."
Dai Yao looked down at herself with a blank expression, then looked up at the mysterious man with a solemn face, and couldn't help but complain: "Big brother, don't scare me! What do you mean it's on my body? I have nothing on my body except for Little Sweetie and a lot of fat!" As she spoke, she patted her non-existent "little belly" with great seriousness.
The mysterious figure sighed helplessly and patiently explained, "It's not a physical 'existence,' but... it seems to be bound to your fortune."
"Destiny binding? What's that?" Dai Yao was even more confused. How did the plot become so fantastical? She felt like she was playing a game and finally defeating the final boss, only to find out that the boss was a virus that had parasitized her? This was too melodramatic!
“I don’t know the specifics either,” the mysterious figure said, his expression still grave. “But I can sense that the bead contains extremely powerful energy, and… it seems to be trying to influence your fortune.”
"Affect my luck? Are you trying to turn me into a jinx?" Dai Yao subconsciously touched the little koi fish pendant hanging from her waist. She had spent a lot of money to get it after she transmigrated!
"Then am I now a major calamity in the cultivation world?" She imagined the scene of landslides wherever she went, choking on her food, swallowing water, and going into qi deviation during cultivation, and couldn't help but shudder.
The mysterious figure smiled as he looked at her vivid and lively appearance, which seemed to depict all aspects of life. He raised his hand and gently rubbed her head: "Don't overthink it. I'll help you."
"You'll help me? How?" Dai Yao looked up at him expectantly, her eyes sparkling with hope.
The mysterious figure smiled enigmatically: "I have a brilliant plan."
Just then, a voice, like a pebble breaking the stillness of a lake, shattered the slightly ambiguous atmosphere between the two: "Congratulations, Your Excellency, on your resounding victory and becoming the biggest winner of this battle of destiny!" Ling Kong appeared behind them at some point, a complex expression on his face.
Dai Yao instantly switched back to her "aloof Demon Palace Envoy" mode, nodding slightly: "Fellow Daoist Lingkong, you're too kind. It was just a fluke." But inwardly she was screaming: A fluke my foot! I almost died here!
Lingkong looked at Dai Yao, hesitant to speak, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
Dai Yao keenly sensed that she seemed to have something to say, so she asked softly, "Fellow Daoist, is there something you need?"
Ling Kong hesitated for a moment before finally speaking: "Your Excellency, although this battle of destiny has ended, the real challenge has only just begun."
Dai Yao raised an eyebrow, thinking to herself: As expected! I knew it wouldn't be that simple! But on her face, she remained calm and asked indifferently, "What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?"
Ling Kong took a deep breath and said, "Now that Your Excellency is blessed with good fortune, you will inevitably become the target of everyone's attacks. I hope Your Excellency will make preparations as soon as possible."
Dai Yao sneered inwardly: Prepare? How am I supposed to prepare? I don't have God's eye view, how would I know what will happen next! But she maintained her aloof expression and nodded lightly: "Thank you for the reminder, fellow Daoist. I know what I'm doing."
Seeing her like this, Lingkong said no more, cupped his hands in a bow, and turned to leave like a gentle breeze.
As Dai Yao watched Ling Kong's departing figure, her mind was filled with countless thoughts, like a calm lake being rippled by countless pebbles thrown in.
She knew that Lingkong's warning was not an exaggeration; the days to come would likely not be peaceful.
But she wasn't one to be slaughtered. Since fate had sent her to this place, she was determined to live a wonderful life!
She turned to look at the mysterious figure beside her, a resolute glint in her eyes, like the brightest star in the night sky: "No matter what happens in the future, I will not give up!"
The mysterious figure looked at her tenderly, his eyes filled with doting affection, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world: "Me too." He tightened his grip on Dai Yao's hand, as if conveying endless strength to her.
A warm feeling welled up in Dai Yao's heart, like the warm sunshine in spring. She knew that no matter how much wind and rain lay ahead, she would not be alone.
Because she still has him.
And that is her biggest trump card.
Although Dai Yao emerged victorious in this battle of destiny, it also brought her even greater challenges.
What exactly are those purple beads on her body?
How will it affect her fate?
All of this will be key to the development of the story in the future...
