Chapter 206 Temporary Repulsion
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen got up from the ground, their eyes met, and they saw the unyielding and resoluteness in each other's eyes. At this moment, their clothes were torn and their hair was messy, but it seemed as if there was an invisible flame burning around them, which was the fighting spirit and strength that was aroused.
Yun Yao tightened the sword in her hand, feeling the unprecedented fullness and activity of the spiritual power in her body. She knew in her heart that the impact of the life-and-death moment just now had become an opportunity for them to break through. The same was true for Chu Mochen. He moved his body slightly, and the aura emanating from his body became stronger and stronger. The golden spiritual light was looming at his fingertips, as if responding to the surging power of his master at the moment.
"This time, we must let him know how powerful we are!" Yun Yao said gritting her teeth, with a hint of coldness in her voice.
"That's right, he underestimated the bond and potential between us." Chu Mochen responded, with cold murderous intent in his eyes.
The two looked towards the direction where the mysterious man disappeared again, and stood ready. A moment later, the evil aura approached again, and the mysterious man reappeared. However, this time, his figure was a little embarrassed, there were cracks on his black robe, and his aura was no longer as calm as before.
"Hmph, do you think you can get away with it?" The mysterious man snorted coldly, trying to disturb their minds with words, but Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were not moved at all.
Yun Yao took the lead, she shouted, and rushed forward like a ghost. The long sword in her hand danced, and the sword shadows spread instantly, just like the twinkling stars. Each sword shadow contained her new understanding of swordsmanship and powerful spiritual power. This sword method was carefully rewarded by the system based on her training progress and combat experience. At this moment, it was unleashed with unparalleled power.
"Wind-breaking Style!" Yun Yao shouted, and the long sword pierced the mysterious man's vitals with the sound of whistling wind. The mysterious man did not dare to neglect it, and quickly formed seals with his hands. A black spiritual shield appeared in front of him, barely blocking Yun Yao's fierce attack. However, the sword shadow did not dissipate, but instead coiled around the shield like a spirit snake, constantly eroding the shield's power.
At the same time, Chu Mochen also moved. He raised his hands high, muttered something, and a huge golden spiritual power light array slowly took shape above his head. In the light array, runes flickered, as if containing the truth of heaven and earth. As Chu Mochen's last spell fell, the light array was like a golden sun, smashing towards the mysterious man.
"The scorching sun burns the sky!" This spell is one of Chu Mochen's specialty skills. Now that his strength has increased, when he uses it, its power is enough to change the color of mountains and rivers.
The mysterious man felt the intense heat and strong pressure coming towards him, and his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly withdrew some of the strength he had used to resist Yun Yao, injected it into his shield, and retreated violently, trying to avoid the double attack. But Yun Yao would not let him escape so easily. She tapped the ground with her toes, and leaped up with the force. The long sword drew a graceful arc in the air, and then slashed down fiercely.
"Falling Star Slash!" This sword gathered all the strength and spiritual power of Yun Yao's body. The sword shone brightly, like a falling meteor.
"Boom!" Yun Yao's Falling Star Slash and Chu Mochen's Burning Sun hit the mysterious man's shield at the same time, making a deafening sound. The powerful impact spread in all directions, raising dust and sand all over the sky. The trees in the valley were uprooted, and some boulders were shattered.
Under the impact of this powerful force, the mysterious man spat out a mouthful of blood, and his body flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, and hit the mountain wall in the distance heavily. A huge crack appeared on the mountain wall instantly.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not relax their vigilance because of the successful attack. They slowly approached the mysterious man's position, always on guard against the other party's counterattack. The mysterious man struggled to get up from the ground. His black robe was tattered, and the shadow on his face disappeared, revealing a pale and distorted face, with eyes full of resentment and unwillingness.
"You... just wait for me..." Before the mysterious man could finish his harsh words, he turned into a puff of black smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Yun Yao looked at the direction where the mysterious man disappeared, frowning: "He won't give up, this is just a temporary retreat."
Chu Mochen nodded slightly: "That's right, but we are not afraid. Right now, it is better to find the mission target as soon as possible."
The two of them took a short break, adjusted their states, and continued to move deeper into the valley. Along the way, they became more cautious, carefully testing the road conditions ahead with every step. Yun Yao activated the detection function of the system, not missing any slight spiritual power fluctuations and dangerous auras.
As we went deeper into the valley, the surrounding scenery became more and more bizarre. The ordinary flowers, plants and trees now exuded a faint spiritual light, as if they were endowed with spirituality by this mysterious land. Some rare spiritual herbs and flowers swayed by the roadside, their petals flashing colorful light, and the stamens contained rich spiritual power. If we could collect them and make elixirs, it would be of great benefit to our cultivation.
Yun Yao's eyes were attracted by these spiritual herbs and flowers. She felt something in her heart and slowed down her pace unconsciously. But thinking of her previous experience and the unfinished task, she still resisted the temptation in her heart and continued to move forward.
On the stone walls of the valley, you can see some ancient runes from time to time. These runes are carved deep or shallow on the stone walls, exuding a mysterious atmosphere. Yun Yao's eyes fell on one of the runes, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in her mind, as if an invisible force was pulling her to explore the mystery of these runes.
She stopped and approached the stone wall, carefully observing the shapes and lines of the runes. These runes seemed simple, but they contained complex spiritual power trajectories. Yun Yao thought to herself that if she could fully comprehend the mysteries of these runes, she might be able to create a new cultivation method or spell.
Just when Yun Yao wanted to study it in depth, Chu Mochen's voice rang in her ears: "Complete the task first, and then explore these runes after they are safe."
Yun Yao came back to her senses, and she knew that Chu Mochen was right. The most important thing at the moment was to find the mission target and leave this dangerous valley, otherwise if there was another danger, all their efforts would be wasted.
She took a deep breath, suppressed her curiosity, and quickened her pace with Chu Mochen. The deeper they went into the valley, the stronger the spiritual power fluctuations became. Yun Yao could feel a powerful force calling them in front of her, and that force made her heart beat faster involuntarily, making her both excited and nervous.
Finally, they arrived at the core area of the valley. In front of them was an open grassland. In the middle of the grassland, a spirit bead emitting colorful light was suspended in the air. Around the spirit bead, there was a powerful spiritual power vortex. From time to time, lightning flashed in the vortex, making a "sizzling" sound, as if warning visitors not to approach easily.
"This should be the target of the mission we are looking for." Yun Yao said excitedly, with excitement flashing in her eyes.
However, before they got close, the spiritual energy vortex around them suddenly spun wildly, forming a powerful barrier to prevent them from getting close. The barrier flashed with a strange light and emitted a strong repulsive force, making it difficult for Yun Yao and Chu Mochen to get close.
"It seems that it is not easy to get this spirit pearl." Chu Mochen said with a frown. He stretched out his hand and tried to touch the barrier, but was bounced back by a powerful force.
Yun Yao carefully observed the spiritual power barrier and found that the spiritual power flow on the barrier had a certain pattern, as if it was operating according to some ancient formation. She had an idea and activated the system's analysis function, trying to find a way to break through the barrier.
The system quickly scanned and analyzed the barrier, and after a while, it gave some tips and suggestions. Yun Yao discussed with Chu Mochen based on the system's prompts.
"The power of this barrier is extremely strong, but if we can find its weak point and launch the strongest spiritual attack at the same time, we may be able to break it." Yun Yao said.
Chu Mochen nodded slightly: "I also noticed that the spiritual power of this barrier is relatively weak in the southeast and northwest directions. We can launch attacks from these two directions at the same time to try to break its balance."
The two of them had made up their minds, took a deep breath, and mobilized their spiritual power. Yun Yao held the long sword tightly with both hands, and continuously injected spiritual power into the sword. The long sword glowed brightly, and the sword body trembled slightly, as if it felt the powerful attack that its master was about to launch.
Chu Mochen quickly formed seals with his hands and muttered something. The golden spiritual light around his body became stronger and stronger, gradually gathering into two huge spiritual light balls, which were suspended in his left and right palms respectively.
"Get started!" Yun Yao shouted, and rushed to the weak spot of the barrier in the southeast direction. She jumped high, and the long sword in her hand, with powerful spiritual power, stabbed the barrier fiercely.
"Break!" Chu Mochen shouted at the same time, and pushed out the spiritual light ball in his palms with both hands, and blasted it towards the weak point of the barrier in the northwest direction.
Two powerful spiritual lights collided with the spiritual barrier, instantly emitting a dazzling light and a deafening roar. The entire valley trembled violently under this powerful impact, and huge rocks kept rolling down from the surrounding mountains, making bursts of roars.
Under their continuous attack, a crack began to appear in the spiritual barrier. Yun Yao was delighted, and she increased the intensity of her attack, swinging the sword in her hand faster and more fiercely, with every strike carrying all her strength and determination.
Chu Mochen was not willing to be outdone. He kept changing the spells with his hands, and the golden spiritual power surged towards the spiritual power barrier like a tide, constantly impacting the crack.
"Crack!" With a loud noise, the spiritual barrier finally broke. At the moment of breaking, a powerful force spread out in all directions, and Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were shocked by this force and took several steps back.
The light of the five-colored spirit beads instantly enveloped them. Yun Yao only felt a warm and powerful force surging into her body, instantly restoring a lot of energy to her tired body. This force flowed through her meridians, constantly nourishing her body and spiritual power, as if opening a new door for her cultivation path.
Chu Mochen also felt the magical power of the spirit pearl, and his eyes revealed a hint of surprise and relief. After this difficult test and battle, they finally succeeded in obtaining the mission target.
Yun Yao reached out and grabbed the spirit bead. At this moment, a warm force was transmitted from the spirit bead into her body, making her feel very comfortable. Chu Mochen looked at Yun Yao, his mouth corners slightly raised, and a hint of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
"Let's go. This mission is all thanks to you." Yun Yao said, putting away the spirit bead.
"Same here. We will have more challenges in the future." Chu Mochen responded.
They took the spirit beads and slowly left along the path in the valley. The valley behind them gradually returned to peace, but their adventure had just begun. In this world of cultivation full of dangers and opportunities, they will continue to move forward hand in hand, explore more unknowns, meet more challenges, and write their own legendary stories.
