Chapter 455 Life and Death 1 Line
The night was as dark as ink, weighing heavily on the sect. Only the demon god altar emitted a strange dark red light, like the eyes of a giant beast that was choosing its prey, staring at the world. Yun Yao was anxious, her eyes were fixed on Chu Mochen who was seriously injured and unconscious on the ground, her eyes instantly turned red, tears welled up in her eyes, but she forced them back. At this moment, she had no time to be sad.
The cold mechanical voice of the system kept echoing in her mind: "Remaining time for purification: one stick of incense." The voice was like a death curse, hitting her mind again and again. Yun Yao bit her lower lip tightly until a bright red appeared on her lips. The smell of blood filled her mouth, but she seemed not to notice it, and suddenly injected her spiritual power into the purification jade bottle in her hand without reservation.
As the spiritual power poured in, the jade bottle shone brightly, and strands of pure power, like a lively light band, entangled the surrounding demonic energy. However, the surging demonic energy seemed to have intelligence, struggling and twisting desperately, trying to break free from the restraints of the purifying power. Yun Yao's forehead was covered with sweat, her teeth were clenched, and her knuckles turned white due to the force. She knew very well that if she stopped, not only would she and Chu Mochen die here, but the entire sect would be doomed.
At this moment, a dark shadow flashed out from the side like a ghost. Liu Yan'er held the magic sword in her hand. The sword was surrounded by magic energy and stabbed Yun Yao's back with a terrifying whistling sound. Yun Yao seemed to sense something and dodged to the side. The magic sword brushed past her clothes and left a piece of torn cloth.
"Do you think you can stop the devil?" Liu Yan'er stood still with a twisted grin on her face, messy hair, and eyes flashing with madness and jealousy. She seemed to have her mind corroded by evil spirits and completely reduced to a puppet of revenge.
Yun Yao glared at him, she knew that she was in a desperate situation today, but the unwillingness to admit defeat in her heart was like a raging fire, burning more and more vigorously. Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly bit her tongue, and a mouthful of hot blood spurted out, landing accurately on the purification jade bottle. In an instant, the light of the jade bottle surged, as if a scorching sun was rising, and the demonic energy that was still struggling was forced back three inches, making a "sizzling" burning sound.
But this action also made Yun Yao dizzy, her vision went dark, her body swayed, and she almost fell to the ground. Seeing this, Liu Yan'er was unwilling to miss this great opportunity, and attacked with her sword again, her sword moves were fierce, and she went straight to Yun Yao's vital points. Yun Yao forced herself to stay alert, and with a sword gesture in her hand, the flying sword whistled out, colliding with the magic sword, sparks flew everywhere.
However, Liu Yan'er seemed to be blinded by hatred, and regardless of the loss of her own spiritual power, she attacked with every move. Yun Yao fought and retreated, and she had to distract herself from controlling the purification jade bottle to absorb the evil spirit, while also resisting Liu Yan'er's crazy attack. Her spiritual power consumption accelerated rapidly, and her breath became more and more disordered. Every time she raised her hand and swung the sword, it seemed to be a thousand pounds heavy, and her steps became more and more frivolous.
"Hmph, Yun Yao, today is the day you die. Once you die, I wonder who Chu Mochen can still remain chaste for!" Liu Yan'er roared, and the light of the magic sword in her hand became more and more weird.
Yun Yao was filled with hatred. She looked at Chu Mochen, whose life or death was unknown on the ground, and then looked at the crazy Liu Yan'er. She secretly swore that even if she used up her last bit of strength today, she would never let these two succeed. She took a deep breath and tried to mobilize the remaining spiritual power in her body, but she felt pain in her meridians as if being cut by a knife, and her spiritual power was not flowing smoothly.
At this time, the purification jade bottle also began to tremble slightly due to the excessive demonic energy it had endured, and its light flickered, like a candle that was about to go out. Yun Yao was extremely anxious, as she knew that once the jade bottle was broken, all her previous efforts would be wasted. She endured the severe pain in her body, and used a wisp of her remaining spiritual power to carefully protect the jade bottle.
Liu Yan'er noticed Yun Yao's predicament, and her face became even more proud. She suddenly raised her sword and jumped up, performing a move called "Mad Demon Dance". The magic sword turned into several black shadows in the air, covering Yun Yao. Yun Yao had no way to avoid it, and could only bite the bullet and hold up her sword to resist.
"Dang, dang, dang..." A series of metal-clashing sounds rang out, Yun Yao felt her arm go numb, her knuckles cracked, and blood flowed down the hilt. Her body could no longer bear it, and she knelt on one knee, but still stubbornly used the sword to support her body, not letting herself fall.
"What do you think, Yun Yao? It's still not too late for you to beg for mercy now. If I'm in a good mood, maybe I can even leave your body intact!" Liu Yan'er looked down at her, the madness on her face becoming more and more intense.
Yun Yao raised her head, her eyes full of unyielding and determination. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and sneered, "Liu Yan'er, don't be too proud. Even if I die today, you will never escape punishment!" As she spoke, she secretly reached into the storage bag, groping for a one-time powerful talisman that the system had rewarded her with before. This was her last trump card.
Just as Liu Yan'er was about to attack again, Yun Yao seized the opportunity and fiercely sacrificed the talisman. In an instant, the talisman shone brightly and turned into a golden shield, tightly protecting Yun Yao. Liu Yan'er's magic sword stabbed the shield, only splashing a burst of sparks, but could not penetrate at all.
"What is this?" Liu Yan'er looked horrified. She didn't expect Yun Yao to have such a backup plan.
Yun Yao took this opportunity to adjust her breathing and try to recover some spiritual power. She closed her eyes tightly and silently recited the formula in her heart, guiding the chaotic spiritual power in her body to slowly return to its place. And the purification jade bottle, after a brief calm, began to slowly absorb the demonic energy again. Although the light was weak, it flickered tenaciously.
As time passed, the system's countdown became more and more urgent: "Remaining time for purification: half an incense stick." Yun Yao knew that she didn't have much time left. She opened her eyes, a look of determination flashed in her eyes, removed her shield, grasped the sword again, and rushed towards the demon altar.
Seeing this, Liu Yan'er naturally refused to give up. She chased after him, waving her magic sword, trying to stop Yun Yao. Yun Yao dodged while injecting spiritual power into the jade bottle. Every step forward seemed to exhaust all her strength.
Suddenly, a powerful demonic energy rushed over. Yun Yao was unable to dodge and was knocked several feet away, falling heavily to the ground. She felt her internal organs shifted, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, staining the ground in front of her red. The purification jade bottle also slipped out of her hand and rolled to the side.
"Hahaha, Yun Yao, you have no tricks now!" Liu Yan'er laughed wildly and approached Yun Yao step by step.
Yun Yao lay on the ground, her fingers stretched out towards the jade bottle with difficulty, but her eyes were determined. Just as Liu Yan'er's magic sword was about to stab down, she used up her last bit of strength, threw herself at the jade bottle, and hugged it tightly in her arms.
At this moment, Yun Yao's clothes were ragged, her face was covered in blood, and her spiritual power was almost exhausted, but the jade bottle in her arms still emitted a faint light, stubbornly fighting against the evil spirit. Liu Yan'er was shocked by her appearance, and she was stunned for a moment, and the magic sword in her hand trembled slightly.
"I will never let you succeed..." Yun Yao murmured weakly. She hugged the jade bottle tightly, mobilized the last bit of spiritual power in her body, and prepared to make a final struggle. At this moment of life and death, there was a faint shouting and killing in the distance, as if reinforcements were coming...
