Chapter 299 Life and Death in a Moment
Yun Yao was concentrating on repairing the array's eye. The evil spirit permeated the area, like a materialized sticky swamp, and every breath of air seemed to hinder her movements. Her hair was soaked with sweat and stuck to her cheeks. Her bright eyes were now focused on the glimmering array's eye in front of her. The spells in her hands kept changing, and the spiritual power in her body was like a surging tide, continuously pouring into the array's eye.
Beside him, fellow disciples formed a circle, each offering their own magic weapon, and the colorful lights intertwined to form a protective light curtain, resisting the waves of attacks from the dark forces. But the evil attack became more and more fierce, and the light curtain continued to ripple, and dazzling sparks appeared from time to time, as if it would break in the next moment.
"Everyone, hold on!" A senior brother shouted loudly, his voice trembling but resolute. Everyone responded in unison, clenched their teeth, and desperately urged their spiritual power to reinforce the light curtain.
However, how could the dark forces sit idly by and watch Yun Yao repair the array eye and reseal their escape route? The evil spirit surging from the depths of the crack seemed to have self-awareness, frantically gathering and compressing, gradually outlining a huge, hideous claw shape in the darkness. The claw was surrounded by black arcs, and every jump of the arc was accompanied by a heart-pounding "sizzling" sound, as if it was a roar from hell.
Yun Yao was completely unaware of this, as her entire mind was immersed in the complex formulas and spiritual power guidance of repairing the array's eye. At this moment, the array's eye had begun to slowly absorb the spiritual power she had injected, and the light it emitted became more and more stable. The repair progress bar in her mind gradually lengthened, and the dawn of victory seemed to be just around the corner.
Suddenly, the dark claw, carrying an endless breath of destruction, rushed straight towards Yun Yao from the crack at lightning speed. It was so fast that it seemed to cut through time and space, bringing up a whistling gale that swept up the surrounding sand, rocks, and dead branches, turning it into a chaotic storm.
At the critical moment, Chu Mochen, who had been paying attention to Yun Yao's situation, suddenly had his pupils shrink, and his heart seemed to be grabbed by an invisible hand. He didn't have time to think about anything else, and instinctively flew in front of Yun Yao, holding the long sword in his hand, and using all his spiritual power to prop up a seemingly weak but incomparably strong sword energy barrier in front of him.
"Puff!" With a dull and heartbreaking sound, the dark claws slammed fiercely on the sword energy barrier. In an instant, the barrier shattered like fragile glass. The huge impact force knocked Chu Mochen away. The clothes on his chest were instantly soaked with blood. A deep bloody wound was shocking. The skin and flesh turned outward, and even the white ribs could be seen. He vomited blood and fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string, raising a cloud of dust.
"Mo Chen!" Yun Yao screamed in terror. This cry seemed to tear the air apart, filled with endless despair and panic. Tears burst out of her eyes, blurring her eyes in an instant. She desperately rushed to Chu Mo Chen, her hands trembling as she tried to cast a spell to save him. However, at this moment, the dark power around her was like an enraged beast, surging wildly and interfering with the flow of her spiritual power. Every time she tried to mobilize her spiritual power, it was like rowing against the current. It felt like there were thousands of steel needles piercing her meridians, and the pain made her face pale.
"Mochen, wake up, don't scare me!" Yun Yao choked with sobs, tears falling on Chu Mochen's bloodless face. She frantically covered the wound on his chest with her hands, trying to stop the blood from flowing out, but the warm blood continued to seep out from between her fingers, staining her hands red.
Chu Mochen's eyes were tightly closed, his breath was weak, and his usually cold and resolute face was now bloodless, looking particularly fragile. Yun Yao was extremely anxious, she turned her head to look at her fellow disciples, and shouted hoarsely: "Quick, come and help!" Everyone's face was also full of sorrow and anxiety. While they were dividing some of their strength to resist the attack of the dark power, several disciples who were good at healing spells hurried over.
A senior sister quickly squatted down, her hands glowing with soft green light, and gently pressed on Chu Mochen's wound, trying to use her spiritual power to stop the bleeding and repair his injuries. However, the interference of the dark power was too strong, and as soon as the senior sister's spiritual power touched the wound, it was bounced away by a strange force, and the green light dimmed instantly.
"No, this dark power is too overbearing. My healing spell cannot be used." The senior sister said anxiously, with a hint of tears in her voice.
When Yun Yao heard this, her heart felt like it was falling into an icy cave. She looked at the unconscious Chu Mochen, her mind was blank, and she had only one thought in her mind: Don't let him get hurt.
"Mr. System, what should I do? Think of a solution quickly!" Yun Yao shouted frantically in her heart, her voice filled with endless helplessness and despair.
The system's voice quickly sounded in her mind, but it also revealed a bit of urgency: "Host, the situation is critical at the moment. You must first stabilize your mind, forcibly break through the interference of the dark power, and guide the spiritual power to protect his heart meridian, otherwise his life will be in danger. But this will require you to spend a lot of energy, and if you fail, you will also suffer a serious injury."
Yun Yao did not hesitate at all. She took a deep breath, suppressed the grief and fear in her heart, closed her eyes, and used all her strength to circulate the spiritual power in her body. At this moment, her meridians seemed to be burned by fire, and every inch of them was in unbearable pain, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.
With her efforts, the spiritual power was finally gathered with difficulty. She carefully transferred the spiritual power into Chu Mochen's body, slowly moving along his meridians, trying to find that faint trace of vitality and protect his heart meridian.
Just as Yun Yao tried her best to rescue Chu Mochen, the dark power's attack became more and more crazy. After a brief pause, the dark claws danced again, and the target was still where Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were.
Upon seeing this, his fellow disciples' eyes turned red. They rushed forward regardless of everything and pushed the magic weapons in their hands to the extreme. All kinds of gorgeous magic lights bloomed like fireworks and slammed towards the dark claws.
“Kill! Even if I risk my life today, I will never let you hurt Junior Sister Yun Yao and Junior Brother Chu Mochen!” A senior brother roared, and the spear in his hand emitted a dazzling red light. The tip of the spear shook, and it turned into several spear shadows, rushing towards the dark claws like a dragon emerging from the sea.
Everyone worked together and managed to resist the attack of the dark claws for a while. But everyone knew that this was only temporary, the dark power was too strong, and if this place was not sealed quickly, everyone's life would be in danger.
On Yun Yao's side, her spiritual power struggled to move forward in Chu Mochen's body, and every step was like trudging through thorns. Finally, she found Chu Mochen's heart vein and gently wrapped that strand of spiritual power around it, like adding a piece of firewood to a dying fire.
"Plop... plop..." Yun Yao heard the sound of a faint heartbeat, and her heart was filled with joy. But before she could breathe a sigh of relief, a powerful backlash force suddenly hit her. She groaned, and a mouthful of blood rushed up to her throat, but she swallowed it back hard.
"Junior Sister Yunyao, how are you?" the senior sister next to her asked with concern.
Yun Yao shook her head and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes showing unprecedented determination: "I'm fine, we must hold on, and wait until this dark power is sealed before saving Mo Chen."
After that, she slowly stood up, looking at the raging dark claws and the madly surging evil spirit, and slowly formed seals with her hands. Although she was weak and her spiritual power was mostly depleted, at this moment, she did not show any sign of retreat.
"System, activate the auxiliary mode. I want to fight this dark force to the death." Yun Yao said silently in her heart.
In an instant, the system's light lit up in her mind, and streams of information poured into her consciousness, providing her with the best path to cast spells and methods of allocating spiritual power.
Yun Yao took a deep breath, and the seals on her hands changed. A bright light burst out from her palms and shot towards the dark claws. This light contained her anger, her determination, and her deep concern for Chu Mochen.
The moment the light shone, Yun Yao felt as if her body was hollowed out, her legs softened, and she almost fell. But she relied on her tenacious will to stand firm.
The dark claws collided with Yun Yao's light, making a deafening noise and splashing light. The entire space seemed to tremble with this force.
Yun Yao felt a huge recoil force coming at her. She vomited blood again and stumbled back a few steps. But her eyes became more determined. She wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and prepared to attack again.
At this moment, the dark claw seemed to be frightened by Yun Yao's tenacity, and its attack slowed down slightly. Seeing this, the fellow disciples seized this rare opportunity and launched another fierce attack, using all kinds of magic weapons and spells to bombard the dark power desperately.
For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate. Yun Yao took advantage of this brief respite to come to Chu Mochen again to check on his injuries. His face was still as pale as paper, but his heartbeat was a little more stable, which made Yun Yao feel a little relieved.
"Mo Chen, you must hold on. Once I seal this dark place, I will take you back to the sect and find the best elixir to save you." Yun Yao whispered softly, her eyes full of tenderness and determination.
However, she knew that the crisis was far from over, and the dark force could launch a fatal attack again at any time. She had to find a way to completely seal this place as soon as possible, otherwise, everyone would be buried in this endless darkness, including Chu Mochen, whom she cared about the most...
