The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 269: Desperate Counterattack, Phantom Defeat

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were in the secret room of this mysterious relic, and their battle with the powerful phantom had entered a white-hot stage. Previously, they had discovered the pattern of the phantom's attack with their mutual understanding and wisdom, and had launched a powerful attack to injure the phantom, but they had never expected that the phantom seemed to have endless power. After being attacked, it was not only not completely defeated, but fell into a more violent state.

At this moment, the spiritual power around the phantom was surging like a surging tide, sweeping around in waves. Its attack became more and more fierce, and black spiritual energy beams shot towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen like sharp arrows. Wherever they passed, the space was covered with layers of twisted ripples, as if it would be torn apart in the next moment. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were under this violent storm of attacks, and they suddenly felt the pressure as heavy as a mountain. Their spiritual power had already been consumed by more than half in the previous battle, and now facing this tide-like attack, it became more and more difficult to defend.

Under the powerful attack of the phantom, the spiritual shield cast by Yun Yao flickered unsteadily, like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time. She gritted her teeth and poured the remaining spiritual power in her body into the shield. Beads of sweat kept rolling down her forehead, soaking her clothes. Chu Mochen also had a solemn expression. He swung the long sword in his hand tightly. Every time he swung the sword, it brought up a gorgeous sword shadow, trying to resist the spiritual energy beams that were raining down like raindrops. However, as time went on, their spiritual power gradually ran out, their bodies began to become exhausted, and their steps became heavier.

Just when they felt desperate, Yun Yao suddenly had an idea and remembered a special spiritual power fusion technique that the system master had mentioned. This technique requires the two people to blend their spiritual power without reservation. During the fusion process, not only must the balance and stability of the spiritual power be maintained, but also the mind must be connected. Otherwise, the slightest mistake may lead to a backlash of spiritual power, with disastrous consequences. Yun Yao is well aware of the danger and uncertainty of this technique, but at this moment, she is in a desperate situation. The only way to survive is to take a risk and try it.

She quickly turned to look at Chu Mochen, with a firm and resolute light in her eyes, and shouted loudly: "Brother Chu, now the only way to break this dilemma is to try the method of spiritual power fusion. Are you willing to take the risk with me?" Chu Mochen was slightly stunned. He naturally knew the risks of this technique, but looking at Yun Yao's firm eyes, an inexplicable trust and courage surged in his heart. He nodded without hesitation and said loudly: "Miss Yun Yao, since we have come to this point, I will share life and death with you, so why should I be afraid of this little risk!"

After that, the two smiled at each other. In that smile, there was trust in each other and fearlessness of the unknown. They slowly approached, put their hands together, and a faint spiritual light gradually appeared between their palms. At first, this light was extremely unstable, like a flame in the wind, which could go out at any time. Yun Yao took a deep breath, calmed down, and guided the spiritual power in her body to slowly flow out and flow towards Chu Mochen's palm. Chu Mochen also exerted force at the same time, merging his spiritual power with Yun Yao's.

In the process of spiritual power fusion, they encountered many difficulties. Because the spiritual power attributes of the two were slightly different, when they collided with each other, a strong repulsion reaction occurred. Yun Yao only felt a powerful force rushing towards her like a surging wave, impacting her meridians and causing her unbearable pain. But she gritted her teeth, endured the severe pain, and tried to adjust her spiritual power fluctuations, trying to match Chu Mochen's spiritual power. Chu Mochen also felt this strong repulsive force, his face turned slightly pale, but the spiritual power output in his hands did not weaken at all.

"Ms. Yun Yao, calm down and don't be disturbed by this spiritual rejection!" Chu Mochen shouted loudly, with a hint of concern and encouragement in his voice.

Yun Yao nodded slightly and responded: "Brother Chu, don't worry, I will never give up!"

With the joint efforts of the two, after a difficult run-in, their spiritual powers finally began to gradually merge. The originally weak and unstable light now became more dazzling, like a rising sun, emitting endless vitality and vigor. With the completion of the spiritual power fusion, a new and powerful spiritual power was born in their bodies. This power was like a surging river, surging through their meridians. Wherever it passed, the meridians that were damaged by the battle before miraculously began to slowly repair, and the feeling of fatigue also dissipated.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen felt the powerful force in their bodies and were overjoyed. They looked at each other and saw the renewed fighting spirit and confidence in each other's eyes. At this time, the phantom's attack came again, and the spiritual energy beams in the sky covered them like a black curtain. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were not afraid at all. They shouted in unison and put their fused spiritual power into full operation.

Yun Yao performed a new attack spell. She waved her hands and quickly formed a series of complex seals in the air. As the seals were completed, a huge spiritual lotus appeared out of thin air. This spiritual lotus was condensed from pure spiritual power. The petals were shining with colorful light, and each petal contained a powerful destructive force. The spiritual lotus slowly rotated, emitting a powerful suction force, pulling the spiritual energy beams shot by the phantom and deviating from the original attack trajectory.

At the same time, Chu Mochen also used his ultimate move - "Breaking Sky Sword Technique". His figure was like lightning, and he instantly turned into a stream of light and rushed towards the phantom. The long sword in his hand waved, drawing a series of gorgeous sword arcs in the air, each of which contained endless sword intent and spiritual power. These sword arcs intertwined and merged with each other, forming a huge sword net, covering the phantom.

After Yun Yao's spirit lotus restrained the phantom's attack, creating a perfect attack opportunity for Chu Mochen, Chu Mochen did not hesitate to fiercely cover the phantom with the sword net in his hand. The moment the sword net came into contact with the phantom, there was a deafening roar, and the dazzling light burst out like the sun, piercing everyone's eyes so hard that they could hardly open their eyes. The powerful spiritual power fluctuations spread around like a turbulent tsunami, the space in the secret room trembled violently, and the runes on the wall flickered, as if they could collapse at any time due to being unable to withstand this power.

Under this double attack, the phantom let out a sharp scream, the sound was like the cry of a night owl, and it was creepy. Its body began to tremble violently, and the black spiritual light around it faded like a tide, revealing its original illusory appearance. The outline of the phantom gradually became blurred, like a candle in the wind, which could dissipate at any time.

Seeing this, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen would never miss this great opportunity. They increased their spiritual power output again, pouring the fused spiritual power into the attack without reservation. Yun Yao quickly changed the seals with both hands, the light of the spiritual lotus became more and more dazzling, and the spiritual power fluctuations on the petals became more and more intense, crushing the phantom fiercely. Chu Mochen flashed, and the long sword in his hand danced into a ball of light and shadow, and each sword accurately stabbed the phantom's vital points.

Under their full-force attack, the phantom could no longer hold on. With one last shrill scream, its body completely dissipated like foam, turning into tiny dots of light and disappearing into the secret room.

As the phantom dissipated, the secret room instantly returned to calm. The powerful spiritual power fluctuations that had been permeating the room gradually subsided, leaving only the heavy breathing of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen echoing in the silent secret room. The two slowly withdrew their spiritual power, feeling slightly exhausted, but their hearts were filled with the joy and pride of victory.

They succeeded! In this desperate situation, relying on their mutual trust and tacit understanding, as well as the courage to take a risk, they successfully merged their spiritual powers, defeated the powerful phantom, and protected each other's lives and dignity.

Yun Yao turned to look at Chu Mochen, her eyes sparkling with gratitude and admiration, and said softly: "Brother Chu, if you hadn't joined hands with me and taken the risk to try the method of spiritual power fusion, we would have had a hard time surviving this disaster. Yun Yao will remember your trust and courage in her heart."

Chu Mochen smiled slightly, shook his head gently, and said: "Miss Yunyao, don't be polite. You and I are partners who share life and death and adversity. Moreover, it is also because of your extraordinary wit that you can think of the method of spiritual power fusion at the critical moment. Otherwise, you and I might die here today."

The two looked at each other and smiled. In that smile, there was relief after experiencing life and death, as well as a deeper trust and friendship for each other.

At this time, the magic weapons and cultivation resources in the secret room were displayed in front of them without reservation after the phantom dissipated. On the walls around the secret room, gems emitting bright light were inlaid. These gems contained extremely pure spiritual power. Just a little absorption could greatly improve the spiritual power of the cultivator. On the ground, there were exquisite jade boxes filled with various rare elixirs. Some of these elixirs could help the cultivator break through the bottleneck, some could repair damaged meridians, and some could enhance the spiritual power of the cultivator. In the center of the secret room, there is a stone platform, on which are placed several magical weapons emitting powerful auras, a long sword flashing with cold light, with mysterious runes engraved on the sword body, and spiritual power flowing faintly in the runes, as if telling of its extraordinaryness; an ancient shield, on which are carved all kinds of strange animal patterns, these animal patterns are lifelike, as if they have life, and with a light touch, one can feel the powerful defensive power contained in them; there is also a secret book emitting golden light, the words on the secret book are obscure and difficult to understand, but Yun Yao and Chu Mochen can vaguely feel that it contains profound cultivation techniques.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at these precious magic weapons and cultivation resources in front of them, and they couldn't help but feel excited. However, they were not blinded by greed, but decided to distribute these treasures reasonably, not only to improve themselves, but also to let other disciples who came with them gain something.

Yun Yao stepped forward first, picked up the long sword that was emitting a cold light, and after examining it carefully, she turned to look at Chu Mochen and said, "Brother Chu, you are good at swordsmanship, and this sword complements you very well, so you should accept it."

Chu Mochen was slightly stunned. He could naturally see the extraordinaryness of this long sword, but he did not take it immediately. Instead, he declined, "Miss Yunyao, the treasures in this secret room are all obtained by you and me through hardships together. You should choose first. Besides, although I am good at swordsmanship, you also need a handy weapon. You should keep this sword for yourself."

Yun Yao shook her head gently and said with a smile: "Brother Chu, there is no need to refuse. I already have a weapon that suits me. This sword will surely exert greater power in your hands, and will be of great help to your future training and fighting."

Seeing Yun Yao's persistence, Chu Mochen was grateful and stopped refusing. He took the sword and said, "In this case, Chu Chen would like to thank Miss Yun Yao."

Afterwards, Yun Yao picked up the ancient shield and handed it to a disciple who was good at defense, saying, "Junior brother, you are quite talented in defense. Take this shield. It can help us share some of the defense pressure in the future."

The disciple quickly stepped forward, took the shield, and said with tears of gratitude: "Thank you, Senior Sister Yunyao, I will definitely not let you down!"

Then, Yun Yao picked up the secret book emitting golden light and read it carefully. She found that although the cultivation method recorded in it was profound, it was not suitable for everyone to practice. After thinking for a moment, she said: "The cultivation method recorded in this secret book is quite special. It requires a certain cultivation foundation and understanding to practice. I see that among all the junior brothers and sisters, only Junior Brother Lin Yu has a solid cultivation foundation and a high understanding. This secret book will be handed over to Junior Brother Lin Yu to practice. But you must remember that you cannot practice privately. You must practice under the guidance of the elders to avoid going astray."

When Junior Brother Lin Yu heard this, he hurried forward, respectfully took the secret book, and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Yun Yao, for your trust. Lin Yu will definitely work hard to practice and live up to Senior Sister's kindness."

After distributing these important magic weapons and secret manuals, Yun Yao also distributed the gems inlaid on the wall and the elixirs in the jade boxes to other disciples one by one. The disciples were all delighted when they received their share of treasures, and their gratitude to Yun Yao and Chu Mochen was beyond words.

After completing the distribution of the treasures, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen led the other disciples out of the secret room. They followed the path they came from and walked out of the ruins carefully. At this time, the sky outside had gradually darkened, and the sunset glow in the sky was as red as blood, dyeing the entire earth red.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at the blood-red sunset, feeling a lot of emotion in their hearts. In this relic exploration mission, they experienced many difficulties and dangers, and had desperate situations of life and death, as well as joy and pride after success. But no matter what, they successfully completed the mission with their own strength and wisdom, not only harvesting precious magic weapons and cultivation resources, but also enhancing their feelings and trust with each other in the process.

They know that this is just a small episode on their road to cultivation. In the future, there are more challenges and opportunities waiting for them. But they are not afraid, because they believe that as long as they work together, no matter how great the difficulties and dangers ahead are, they can overcome them one by one and carve out their own space in this world of cultivation.

After returning to the sect, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen handed over some special resources obtained from the ruins to the sect. The appearance of these resources made the whole sect jubilant. The head and elders praised Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's performance this time. They not only appreciated their courage and wisdom, but also were moved by their spirit of never giving up and working hand in hand in the face of danger. The sect specially held a grand celebration ceremony for them. At the ceremony, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen became the focus of everyone's attention.

The other disciples looked at them with envy and admiration. They gathered around Yun Yao and Chu Mochen to ask about their experiences and insights in the ruins. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen also shared with everyone what they saw, heard, learned and gained in the ruins without reservation, which benefited the disciples a lot.

The success of this relic exploration mission brought Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's reputation in the sect to a new height. They became heroes and role models in the minds of the sect's disciples, inspiring more disciples to practice hard and pursue higher realms. The relationship between Yun Yao and Chu Mochen also became deeper after this mission. They began to practice together more frequently and discuss future development together, as if their lives were closely connected and could no longer be separated.
