The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 372 The Dark Forces’ Counterattack

Under the impact of the artifact's light, most of the members of the dark forces were killed or injured. Their morale was low, and they retreated like a defeated tide. However, their leader, a mysterious man with a black robe covering his face and a strong evil aura, did not give up. His eyes flashed with a cold light, staring at Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, and the anger and unwillingness in his heart were like a blazing flame, almost swallowing him up.

"Humph, you think you can completely repel us with this useless magic weapon? It's wishful thinking!" The leader snorted coldly, and his voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, with a bone-chilling chill. His figure flashed, and he instantly turned into a stream of black light, rushing towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. His speed was so fast that it brought up a whistling gust of wind, and even swept the sand and stones on the ground into the air, forming a sand curtain.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen sensed the danger approaching, and their expressions instantly became extremely solemn. They had just experienced a fierce battle with many dark forces, and had spent a lot of energy to activate the artifact. At this time, most of their spiritual power had been consumed, and their physical strength was almost overdrawn. But facing the leader's crazy counterattack, the two did not intend to retreat at all, but their eyes flashed with a firm light, which was the determination to never bow to the evil forces.

"Be careful!" Chu Mochen shouted, and his figure flashed, blocking Yun Yao. He quickly formed seals with both hands, and the remaining spiritual power in his body rushed out like a turbulent river, condensing into a spiritual power shield flashing with blue light in front of him. The runes on this shield flowed, exuding a powerful defensive aura, which was the strongest defensive means he could currently use.

Almost at the same moment, the dark leader arrived. He raised his hand and slapped it out. Black mist surged in his palm, as if it contained endless dark power, like a vicious beast that chose its prey, and slammed into Chu Mochen's spiritual shield.

"Boom!" There was a loud noise, like thunder exploding in the ears, making everyone's ears buzz. Where the spiritual shield collided with the dark palm power, light overflowed, and the spiritual power wave spread out like ripples. Wherever it went, the ground was torn into gullies, and sand and stones flew.

Chu Mochen felt a huge force like a tidal wave coming at him, and his feet involuntarily slid back several steps, leaving deep footprints on the ground with each step. He clenched his teeth, veins popped on his forehead, and tried his best to maintain the stability of the shield, not letting the dark power break through. But the strength of the dark leader was too strong, and the runes on the shield gradually became dim and shaky under the erosion of the dark power.

"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao was extremely anxious when she saw this. She knew that Chu Mochen could only withstand this attack alone. If they didn't think of a solution, the two of them would be in a desperate situation. At that moment, she gritted her teeth, endured the fatigue and dizziness brought by the emptiness of spiritual power in her body, mobilized the remaining spiritual power in her body, and waved her jade hand. A colorful light flew out from her palm and turned into five lively ribbons, wrapping around the dark leader. This ribbon is one of Yun Yao's special skills. It looks gentle, but it actually contains fierce attack power. Once entangled, it is like prey trapped in spider silk, difficult to break free.

The dark leader sensed the ribbons coming from behind him, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes. He turned suddenly, and his wide black robe fluttered in the wind, like a black demonic cloud. He muttered something, and his hands moved quickly in front of him, and a black vortex suddenly condensed. The vortex was like the entrance to an endless abyss, emitting a heart-pounding suction. As soon as the five ribbons approached, they were pulled to the center of the vortex by the suction, and were instantly crushed to pieces, turning into dots of light and dissipating in the air.

"Hmph, a mere trifle!" The dark leader snorted coldly, and once again locked onto Chu Mochen's target. He flashed, bypassed Yun Yao, and appeared beside Chu Mochen like a ghost, raising his hand to launch another series of fierce attacks. The wind from his fists whistled, and each punch carried the power to split mountains and rocks, smashing fiercely at Chu Mochen.

Chu Mochen was unable to dodge and had to bite the bullet to parry. He dodged to the side and avoided the leader's punch, but the wind from the punch rubbed his shoulder, causing a sharp pain. His clothes on his shoulder were torn and blood oozed out. He groaned, endured the pain, and punched back, colliding with the leader's other fist.

"Crack!" With a crisp sound, Chu Mochen felt a sharp pain in his right wrist, as if the bones were about to break. He secretly said in his heart that it was not good. The strength of this dark leader was far beyond his imagination. Under such a high-intensity confrontation, his body was gradually unable to bear it.

Yun Yao was watching from the side with rage, and she was anxiously looking for the Dark Leader's flaw. Suddenly, her eyes flashed, and she found that every time the Dark Leader launched an attack, there would be a brief weakening of spiritual power fluctuations at the waist under the black robe. This was an extremely subtle flaw, and it was difficult to detect without careful observation.

"Now!" Yun Yao was delighted and rushed forward without hesitation. She concentrated all the remaining spiritual power in her body on her fingertips, turning it into a sharp spiritual power cone, aiming at the dark leader's waist flaw and stabbing it fiercely.

The dark leader sensed Yun Yao's attack and wanted to dodge but it was too late. He could only move sideways and try to cover his vital parts with his black robe. Yun Yao's spiritual light cone brushed past his black robe, and although it did not hit his vital parts directly, it still caused him great pain.

"Damn little girl!" The dark leader was furious. He waved his sleeves violently and a powerful black spiritual power swept towards Yun Yao like a surging wave, intending to knock her away in one fell swoop.

Yun Yao's spiritual power was already exhausted at this time, and she was hit head-on by this spiritual power without being able to dodge. She felt as if her chest was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out instantly. Her body flew back several feet like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the ground.

"Yun Yao!" Chu Mochen was furious when he saw this. He ignored his own injuries and rushed to Yun Yao like crazy to help her up. Looking at Yun Yao's pale face and the blood that kept flowing from the corners of her mouth, Chu Mochen's heart was full of self-blame and anger.

"Yun Yao, how are you? Don't scare me!" Chu Mochen said in a trembling voice, holding Yun Yao's hands tightly with both hands, trying to input his spiritual power into her body to heal her.

Yun Yao shook her head weakly, with a bitter smile on her lips: "I'm fine, don't worry about me, deal with him first..." Before she finished her words, she coughed up another mouthful of blood.

At this time, the dark leader did not give them a chance to breathe. He rushed forward again, and the dark power around him became stronger and stronger, as if he was a demon from hell, vowing to completely wipe out Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.

Seeing this, other disciples in the sect wanted to help. However, they had just experienced a great battle, their strengths were uneven, and most of them were injured. Under the powerful pressure of the dark leader, as soon as they approached, they were shaken back by the dark power and could not get close at all.

"Humph, today is the day you die!" The dark leader laughed wildly, raised his hands high, and condensed a huge black sphere above his head. Lightning and thunder flashed in the sphere, and the black lightning was like a ferocious dragon, constantly shuttling through it, emitting a chilling aura of destruction. This was his ultimate move, and once it was used, the area within a few feet would be turned into a scorched earth, and no one could stop it.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at the black sphere above their heads, which seemed like the end of the world, and a feeling of despair surged in their hearts. They knew that in their current state, they were completely unable to resist this attack. But even so, there was still no fear in their eyes. Instead, they held each other's hands tightly, as if they wanted to use this last warmth to give each other strength.

"Yun Yao, I'm sorry, I have implicated you..." Chu Mochen said with a guilty look on his face.

Yun Yao shook her head gently, her eyes full of determination: "No, we will face it together. We will live together and die together."

Just as the dark leader was about to smash the black ball down and deal a fatal blow to Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, something unexpected happened.

The jade pendant on Yun Yao's chest suddenly emitted a soft white light, which was like a holy barrier, instantly enveloping Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. The black ball hit the white light, and it was like a drop in the ocean, slowly swallowed up and disappeared.

Seeing this, the dark leader widened his eyes with disbelief on his face: "How is this possible?!"

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were also surprised to see the scene before them. They had never seen such magical power in this jade pendant. Yun Yao subconsciously reached out to touch the jade pendant, and a warm and familiar feeling came over her, as if a voice was whispering something in her ear, but she couldn't hear it clearly.

"This jade pendant..." Yun Yao muttered to herself, her heart full of doubts.

But at this moment, they had no time to explore the secret of the jade pendant. While the dark leader was stunned, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood up and supported each other. They knew that this might be their only chance of survival and they had to seize it.

"No matter what this jade pendant is, let's repel him first!" Chu Mochen said gritting his teeth.

Yun Yao nodded. Although her face was as pale as paper and her body was weak, her eyes were still firm. The two stood side by side again, facing the dark leader, ready to meet the next challenge.

After a brief moment of shock, the dark leader's anger burned even more vigorously. He would never allow his fatal blow to be so easily resolved, and he would not allow Yun Yao and Chu Mochen to escape under his nose.

“Hmph, no matter what cards you have, you will not escape death today!” The dark leader roared, and rushed towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen again. A life-and-death contest was still going on fiercely on this devastated battlefield...
