Chapter 208 Crisis Not Over, Fighting Again
“We…must find its weakness!” Dai Yao gritted her teeth, each word seemingly squeezed out from between them.
She staggered forward, each step feeling like walking on a knife's edge, the excruciating pain causing her vision to blur.
Blood soaked through their clothes, a shocking sight under the moonlight, like bewitching red plum blossoms blooming in the snow.
"Yaoyao, are you crazy? You'll die if you keep going like this!" The mysterious figure's eyes reddened as he grabbed her, his voice filled with anxiety and heartache.
"Let me handle it, I can manage!"
"Can withstand it my ass!" Dai Yao flung his hand away, her voice trembling slightly, but her eyes were unusually firm.
“Look around, everyone’s lying flat, leaving only us old, weak, sick and disabled. If we don’t find its weakness, we’ll all be dead here today!”
She took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain, and looked around.
The once formidable team is now reduced to a handful of wounded individuals, wilted like frostbitten eggplants.
"Cough cough..." An important member of their own faction clutched his chest, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his face as pale as paper.
He struggled to his feet, his body trembling, but he stumbled and nearly fell.
"Old Li, how are you?" The mysterious figure quickly helped him up, looking worried.
"It's alright, I won't die..." Old Li waved his hand, his voice weak.
"It's just... I can't take it anymore..."
Just then, the guardian of the mysterious ruins launched another attack.
It waved its hands, and beams of dazzling light shot towards the crowd like sharp swords.
Dai Yao and the others tried their best to resist, but they still couldn't hold on.
"boom--"
With a loud bang, Old Li was struck by the light and sent flying backward, crashing heavily to the ground. His fate was unknown.
The mysterious figure, eyes blazing with fury, roared and stood in front of the crowd, taking the brunt of the attacks.
"Yaoyao, you have to think of something! I... I can't hold on much longer!" He was trembling all over, blood was spilling from the corner of his mouth, and his face was deathly pale.
Looking at Old Li lying in a pool of blood, and at the mysterious figure who had risked his life to protect her, Dai Yao felt an unprecedented surge of anger and power within her.
A surge of heat rushed to her head, making her feel full of energy.
Ignoring her injuries, she gritted her teeth, concentrated all her spiritual power, and frantically circulated the internal energy within her body.
"Ah—!" Dai Yao roared, her aura suddenly surging, as if she had broken through some kind of shackle and reached a new realm.
Golden light surrounded her, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, dazzling and radiant.
Even the guardian of the mysterious ruins was slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised by this sudden change.
"Yao Yao, you..." The mysterious figure looked at her in disbelief, his eyes filled with surprise and worry.
Dai Yao ignored him, her gaze fixed on the guardian of the mysterious ruins, her eyes filled with icy killing intent.
She flashed and appeared before the guardian like a ghost, her weapon transforming into a streak of light as she slashed fiercely at its head.
"clang--"
A piercing clang of metal rang out. Although the guardian was forced back a few steps by the sudden attack, he did not suffer any real damage.
Its defense is astonishing; even Dai Yao's current strength makes it difficult to break through.
"Damn it!" Dai Yao cursed under her breath and launched another attack.
She was agile and her moves were unpredictable, pouring down on the guardian like a storm.
However, the guardian's attacks were equally fierce; it wielded a massive weapon and deflected Dai Yao's attacks one by one.
"Is this thing made of iron? I can't break it no matter what I do!" Dai Yao was anxious as she dodged the guardian's attacks while searching for its weakness.
However, the Guardian's attacks were relentless, giving her no chance to breathe.
Meanwhile, due to the vast difference in strength between their own members, they were completely unable to intervene in the battle.
They could only watch helplessly as Dai Yao fought fiercely against the guardians, their hearts filled with worry and a sense of powerlessness.
"Yao Yao, be careful!" The mysterious figure shouted a warning when he saw the guardian suddenly launch a fierce attack.
Dai Yao narrowly dodged the attack, but was still knocked back several steps by the powerful impact.
She felt a sharp pain in her chest, and a mouthful of blood gushed out.
"No, this can't go on..." Dai Yao thought to herself. She had to find a way to end this battle as soon as possible.
She took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain, and gathered her strength once more.
Just then, she suddenly felt a strange energy fluctuation emanating from the guardian.
The energy fluctuation was very weak, but she keenly detected it.
"Could this be... its weakness?" Dai Yao's heart skipped a beat, her gaze fixed on a certain part of the guardian's body.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, revealing a confident smile.
“Heh, I’ve finally found you…” Dai Yao said softly, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.
"Yao Yao..." The mysterious figure walked to Dai Yao's side and gently wiped the blood from her face...
The mysterious figure walked up to Dai Yao and gently wiped the blood from her face.
"Yaoyao, how are you?" His voice was full of worry, and his eyes were filled with heartache.
Dai Yao smiled slightly at him and waved her hand dismissively, "It's nothing, just a minor injury, no big deal~ But you, stop blocking my way, you're injured too!"
Looking into his worried eyes, Dai Yao was deeply moved.
She knew how precious it was to have someone who protected her so wholeheartedly in this perilous world of cultivation.
They relied on each other, drawing strength from each other's eyes, and strengthened their resolve to continue fighting.
Just then, the rising star of the cultivation world, who had been protected in the rear, suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "I've got it! Sister Yao Yao, my 'Illusory Light Trajectory' can briefly interfere with its vision. You can take the opportunity to attack its core!"
Upon hearing this, Dai Yao's eyes lit up. It was truly a case of "when you think you've reached the end of the road, a new path opens up before you do."
She immediately understood and gave Xiao Xiwang a thumbs up, "Well done! That's what I've been waiting for!"
Little Hope immediately unleashed "Illusory Light and Shadow," and a dazzling array of colors instantly enveloped the entire battlefield. The massive body of the mysterious ruins guardian appeared and disappeared in the light and shadow, as if it were shrouded in mist.
Seizing this opportunity, Dai Yao frantically circulated her spiritual energy, mobilized all her strength, and condensed it into a dazzling blade of light, which struck directly at the core of the guardian!
With a deafening boom, the light blade struck the core of the guardian.
The guardian let out a painful roar, its massive body trembling violently as if it were about to collapse at any moment.
Seeing this, everyone was overjoyed, thinking that victory was in sight.
However, the next second, an even more powerful aura suddenly erupted from the guardian. It opened its eyes abruptly, its eyes burning with raging fury.
The wounds on his body healed at a visible speed, even making him stronger than before.
"This...how is this possible?!" Little Hope exclaimed in surprise.
Dai Yao's expression changed, and she realized something was wrong.
She sensed that the guardian's aura of fortune had become even stronger!
"Oh no! It's about to unleash a powerful attack!" Dai Yao shouted, grabbing the mysterious figure's hand. "Retreat quickly!"
However, it was too late...
The guardian roared to the sky, and a devastating energy wave rapidly spread out from it...
Dai Yao felt a powerful force rushing towards her, locking her firmly in place...
She gripped the mysterious figure's hand tightly, her gaze unwavering...
"Yao Yao..."
