Chapter 203 Mysterious Enemy
Just when they thought they were safe for the time being, a sinister laugh echoed in the valley. "Do you think you can get through this easily?" As the voice fell, a mysterious man in a black robe and with his face hidden in the shadows slowly appeared. He exuded a strong and evil aura, as if he was a demon crawling out of the Netherworld, which made people shudder. The aura spread around like a substance, and wherever it went, the flowers and plants withered instantly, and the already sinister fog became thicker, as if it was injected with ink.
"Who are you? Why did you set a trap here to stop us?" Chu Mochen asked coldly, with a hint of anger and vigilance in his voice. His eyes pierced the mysterious man like a sharp sword, trying to see the other person's true face through the black robe. However, the mysterious man just sneered and did not answer, as if he was disdainful of talking to them, and seemed to enjoy their doubts and fears. Then, he waved his hands, and countless black spiritual energy balls rained down on Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.
These spiritual power balls may look small, but they contain amazing destructive power. During their flight, they cut through the air and made sharp whistling sounds, like the screams of the god of death. Yun Yao was shocked. She could clearly feel the evil power contained in these spiritual power balls. If she was hit, the consequences would be disastrous. But she quickly calmed down. With the agile prompts of the system, her body reacted quickly like a nimble swallow. She tapped the ground with her feet, dodged to the side, and swung the long sword in her hand. The blade flashed cold light under the reflection of the sun, and accurately cut the approaching rope. Her movements were smooth and seamless, and every move was just right, as if integrated with the prompts of the system.
Chu Mochen cast a powerful spiritual shield, and a layer of golden light quickly unfolded in front of him, temporarily protecting them. The shield was like a solid wall, and the black spiritual balls hit it, splashing black sparks and making crackling sounds. Although the shield temporarily blocked the attack, every collision made Chu Mochen's face change slightly. He could feel the powerful force of the mysterious man's attack. This was definitely not an ordinary enemy.
While dodging the attack, Yun Yao kept her eyes on the mysterious man, trying to find flaws in his movements. She found that although the mysterious man's attacks seemed chaotic, they actually followed some subtle rules. Whenever the angle and strength of his hands changed, the flight trajectory and speed of the spirit ball would also change. Yun Yao's heart moved, and she knew that if she wanted to defeat this mysterious man, she must first crack the pattern of his attack. So, she communicated with Chu Mochen through the system: "Brother Chu, I found that his attacks have a pattern, and the details of his hands waving seem to be the key. Let's observe carefully."
Chu Mochen nodded slightly. He also noticed Yun Yao's discovery. While the two of them were resisting the attack, they paid more attention to the mysterious man's every move. During the fierce confrontation, Yun Yao found that there seemed to be something flashing under the mysterious man's black robe. It was a faint light that was difficult to detect without careful observation. She wondered in her heart, could it be the mysterious man's weakness? Or was it an important item related to his identity?
As time went by, the mysterious man's attacks became more and more fierce, and the number of spiritual power balls increased. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen gradually felt a little tired, and their spiritual power was constantly depleted. But they did not give up, but became more determined to defeat the mysterious man. Yun Yao's eyes flashed with an unyielding light. She knew that in this world of cultivation full of dangers and challenges, retreating meant death. She kept cheering herself up in her heart: "I can't lose, I must find his flaws, for myself and for Brother Chu."
Chu Mochen gritted his teeth and injected more spiritual power into the shield while thinking about countermeasures. He remembered some records about combat skills and the use of spiritual power that he had seen in the ancient books of the sect, and tried to find inspiration from them. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration came to his mind, and he thought of a spell that could temporarily enhance the attack power, but this spell required a lot of spiritual power, and once it was cast, he would be weak for a period of time. He hesitated for a moment, looked at Yun Yao beside him, and finally decided to take a risk.
"Yun Yao, I'm going to cast a spell to break the deadlock, but I will be briefly weak afterwards, so you have to be careful." Chu Mochen conveyed his plan to Yun Yao through the system.
Yun Yao was shocked. She knew the risks of this kind of magic, but she also believed in Chu Mochen's strength. "Brother Chu, don't worry, I will protect us." She responded firmly.
Chu Mochen took a deep breath, and began to form seals with his hands, muttering something. As he moved, the fluctuations of his spiritual power became stronger and stronger, and the golden light became more and more dazzling. The mysterious man seemed to sense the danger, and he increased the intensity of his attack, trying to stop Chu Mochen from casting spells. But Yun Yao stepped forward, and she used the unique sword technique rewarded by the system. The sword shadow flickered, like a silver light curtain, blocking all the black spiritual power balls. Her figure shuttled through the light curtain, and each sword contained a powerful force, as if she was a sword fairy who came to the mortal world.
Finally, Chu Mochen's spell was ready. He shouted loudly, pushed his hands forward, and a huge golden spiritual power beam shot towards the mysterious man. Wherever the beam went, the air was instantly torn apart, making a deafening roar. The mysterious man didn't dare to take it head-on, he dodged quickly. At this time, Yun Yao took advantage of the gap when the mysterious man dodged and carefully observed his movements again. She found that when the mysterious man dodged, the frequency of the light flashing under the black robe was obviously faster, and his body became a little slow.
"Brother Chu, there might be a flaw when he dodges. We should seize the opportunity." Yun Yao said to Chu Mochen hurriedly.
Chu Mochen nodded slightly. Although he was in a weak state, he still held on to his body and prepared to launch an attack with Yun Yao. Yun Yao clenched her sword, exerted force on her feet, and rushed towards the mysterious man like an arrow. Her eyes were full of determination and resoluteness, and every step she took was full of powerful momentum. The mysterious man saw Yun Yao rushing over and sneered. He waved his hands and another group of black spirit balls flew towards Yun Yao. But Yun Yao was not afraid at all. She danced with the sword in her hand, and the sword wind whistled, smashing those spirit balls one by one.
At the moment of approaching the mysterious man, Yun Yao used her strongest sword. This sword gathered all her spiritual power, and the blade flashed with dazzling white light, as if it could cut through the void. The mysterious man felt the power of this sword, and he hurriedly covered it with his black robe, while muttering something in his mouth, as if he was casting some kind of defensive spell. At this time, Chu Mochen also endured his weakness and launched an attack from the side. He cast a small spiritual storm and swept towards the mysterious man.
Yun Yao's sword collided with the mysterious man's defense, making a loud noise. The powerful impact pushed Yun Yao back several steps, but she still held the sword tightly. The mysterious man's defense also cracked under this sword, and Chu Mochen's spiritual power storm took the opportunity to sweep in and enveloped the mysterious man. The mysterious man struggled in the storm, his black robe was torn, revealing a pale and distorted face.
"You actually managed to hurt me, but this is just the beginning." The mysterious man said viciously, his voice full of anger and unwillingness.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were not frightened by his words. They knew that the battle was far from over. They readjusted their status and prepared for the next round of attack from the mysterious man. At this time, the atmosphere in the valley became more tense, as if a bigger storm was about to come...
