Chapter 147: The Final Battle, the Peak of Glory
In a flash, the person standing in front of Bi Yao was Li Yuan's master, Taoist Qingxu!
His white robe fluttered, and he looked like an immortal. With a wave of the whisk in his hand, he dissolved the attack of the Demon Lord into nothingness.
"Yuan'er, Yao'er, I'm here to lend you a hand!"
The appearance of Taoist Master Qingxu is undoubtedly a shot in the arm.
The three of them joined forces and launched a shocking battle with the Demon Lord.
Bi Yao's swordsmanship was agile and tricky, Li Yuan's palm wind was extremely strong and masculine, and Taoist Qingxu's whisk was even more unpredictable. The three of them cooperated with each other tacitly and forced the Demon Lord to retreat step by step.
During the fierce battle, Bi Yao keenly discovered that although the Demon Lord's attacks were fierce, they were always centered around a certain area, as if guarding something.
Her heart moved. Could that be the center of the formation?
Seizing an opportunity, Bi Yao leaped up and headed straight for that area.
The Demon Lord was shocked when he saw this and wanted to stop them, but was held tightly by Li Yuan and Taoist Qingxu.
The area was shrouded in a thick black fog, looking eerie and terrifying.
Bi Yao held her breath and stepped in cautiously.
A strange energy fluctuation permeated the black fog, making her feel dizzy.
She endured the discomfort and continued to go deeper.
Suddenly, her eyes lit up and a huge crystal ball appeared in front of her.
The crystal ball emitted a dazzling light and was surrounded by countless complex runes. It was the center of the formation!
Bi Yao was delighted and was about to destroy it, but suddenly she felt a powerful force restraining her.
A cold voice sounded in her ears: "Do you think you can escape?"
Bi Yao looked back and saw a man in black appearing behind her at some point, holding a black dagger in his hand, which was against her neck.
The man in black wore a strange mask on his face, revealing only a pair of cold eyes that exuded a chilling murderous intent.
"Who are you?" Bi Yao asked with forced calmness.
The man in black sneered: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that you will die soon!"
At the critical moment, Li Yuan and Taoist Qingxu arrived.
Seeing Bi Yao being held hostage, Li Yuan's eyes were bloodshot and he roared, "Let her go!"
The man in black remained unmoved. Instead, he pressed the dagger even tighter against Bi Yao's neck and said coldly, "If you want her to live, hand over your spiritual power!"
At this tense moment, Bi Yao suddenly felt something hot in her hand.
She looked down...
"Wait," Bi Yao suddenly said, her eyes falling on the small brocade bag in her hand, "I seem to..."
Bi Yao felt the heat of the brocade bag in her hand, and an idea flashed in her mind.
This brocade bag is a token of love given to her by Li Yuan, and inside it is an amulet made by him personally!
She quickly opened the brocade bag, and a warm current instantly surged through her body, forming a layer of golden light shield on her body surface.
The black-clothed man's dagger stabbed at the light shield, making a crisp "ding" sound, but was unable to penetrate!
The man in black obviously didn't expect Bi Yao to have this trick up his sleeve, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Taking advantage of the moment when he was stunned, Bi Yao turned her wrist, took out a silver needle from the brocade bag, and pierced it into the acupuncture point of the man in black with lightning speed.
The man in black groaned, his body stiffened, and the dagger fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Li Yuan and Taoist Qingxu immediately seized the opportunity and joined forces to attack the man in black.
Although the man in black was very powerful, he could not withstand the combined attack of the two men as his acupoints were controlled.
After a few rounds, the man in black was beaten to the ground, vomiting blood, and his mask shattered, revealing an ordinary face.
"It's you!" Li Yuan recognized the identity of the man in black. It turned out to be their fellow disciple Zhang Yuan whom they had always trusted!
A trace of resentment flashed in Zhang Yuan's eyes, and he said with gritted teeth: "Li Yuan, Bi Yao, just wait, I will be back!" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly took out a black bead from his arms and swallowed it in one gulp.
The black beads melted in his mouth, Zhang Yuan's body began to tremble violently, and a powerful evil force burst out from his body.
His skin turned a strange black, his eyes turned blood red, and he looked like a demon from hell.
"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!" Taoist Qingxu's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly pulled Li Yuan and Bi Yao back.
At this moment, Bi Yao suddenly remembered that he had seen an evil object called "Soul-Devouring Pearl" in ancient books. This pearl could absorb people's souls and thus burst out with powerful power.
The way to break it is to purify it with the purest and most yang spiritual power.
Thinking of this, Bi Yao mobilized all the spiritual power in his body without hesitation, condensed it into a golden beam of light, and shot it towards Zhang Yuan.
The golden beam of light collided with the black evil energy, making a deafening explosion.
The surrounding space was shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any time.
During the tense battle, Li Yuan took the time to look at Bi Yao, his eyes full of trust and love.
Yao'er took a deep breath and focused all her attention on finding the center of the formation. The Demon Lord's attacks became more and more crazy, as if he wanted to destroy the entire world. Li Yuan always guarded Bi Yao, blocking all attacks for her. His figure was like an indestructible barrier.
Various formation diagrams flashed through Bi Yao's mind rapidly. Combined with the surrounding environment, she finally found a clue.
The center of the formation is not in a conspicuous place, but hidden in a seemingly ordinary room!
There were some seemingly ordinary patterns carved on the walls of the room, but Bi Yao keenly noticed that these patterns were not decorations, but an extremely sophisticated camouflage formation!
"Found it!" Bi Yao's eyes flashed with a gleam, pointing to the seemingly ordinary room, "The center of the formation is right there!"
The two immediately rushed towards the room.
Along the way, there are many traps and mechanisms.
Sharp blades attacked from all directions, poisonous arrows rained down like raindrops, and there were even illusion arrays that disturbed their minds.
But Li Yuan and Bi Yao cooperated well. Li Yuan stood in front and used his powerful spiritual power to dissolve all attacks, while Bi Yao relied on his extraordinary wisdom to quickly break various mechanisms.
They overcame all obstacles and finally arrived at the door of the room.
The door was closed, emitting a heart-pounding smell.
Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly, his eyes firm: "Yao'er, let's go together!"
Bi Yao nodded, and they both put their hands on the door at the same time, slowly applying force.
"Click——" With a light sound, the door opened...
A powerful suction force instantly sucked them into the room.
The room was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.
Li Yuan subconsciously protected Bi Yao behind him and looked around vigilantly.
"Be careful!" Bi Yao suddenly exclaimed and pulled Li Yuan away.
Almost at the same time, a black beam of light shot through the place where they had just stood, creating a bottomless hole in the ground.
"What...what is this?" Li Yuan asked in shock.
Bi Yao did not answer, her eyes fixed on the center of the room.
There, a huge crystal ball emitted a strange light, surrounded by countless complex runes.
"This is the core of the formation..." Bi Yao muttered to himself, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "We must destroy it!"
Li Yuan also saw the crystal ball. He gripped the sword tightly and said in a deep voice, "Yao'er, I'll protect you!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with determination.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly rang out in the room: "Want to destroy the center of the formation? You're dreaming!"
A ball of black fog appeared out of nowhere, and in the black fog, a tall figure slowly emerged.
The figure was wearing a black robe, a ferocious mask on his face, and a black sword in his hand, exuding a suffocating pressure.
"You are..." Li Yuan's pupils suddenly shrank as he recognized the person, "Demon Lord!"
The Demon Lord let out a sinister laugh. "I didn't expect you to find this place, but it's all over now!" He slowly raised the sword in his hand, pointing the tip of the sword directly at Bi Yao and Li Yuan. "Prepare to die!"
"Killing us won't be that easy!" Li Yuan roared, stepping forward and blocking Bi Yao...
The sword in his hand let out a clear dragon roar.
Li Yuan's sword light was like a rainbow piercing the sun, piercing the Demon Lord directly.
The Demon Lord sneered, swung the black sword in his hand, and blocked Li Yuan's attack.
The two men fought back and forth, swords flying everywhere, and the battle was in full swing.
Bi Yao knew that it would be difficult for Li Yuan to defeat the Demon Lord alone.
She must find an opportunity as soon as possible to destroy the center of the formation.
She carefully observed the runes around the center of the formation, looking for flaws.
Suddenly, she discovered that one of the runes was flickering with a faint light, slightly different from the other runes.
"Li Yuan, attack that rune!" Bi Yao shouted.
Li Yuan understood what he meant and immediately changed the direction of his attack, pointing the sword directly at the flashing rune.
The Demon Lord obviously also realized the importance of this rune and tried his best to stop it.
However, Li Yuan's attack was unstoppable, and he pierced the rune with one sword.
"boom!"
There was a loud bang, the whole room shook violently, and the light on the crystal ball suddenly dimmed.
The surrounding runes also disappeared, and the center of the formation was completely destroyed!
The Demon Lord let out an unwilling roar, his body began to collapse, and eventually turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared without a trace.
Li Yuan put away his sword, walked to Bi Yao, and asked with concern: "Yao'er, are you okay?"
Bi Yao shook her head, a triumphant smile on her face: "I'm fine, we succeeded!"
The two smiled at each other and hugged each other tightly.
Just then, cheers were heard outside the room.
Taoist Qingxu rushed in with a group of immortal cultivators. When they saw the destroyed center of the formation, they cheered.
"Bi Yao! Li Yuan! You are our heroes!"
"You saved the entire Xianxia world!"
Everyone expressed their respect to Bi Yao and Li Yuan, their eyes filled with admiration and gratitude.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan enjoyed the cheers of the crowd, their hearts filled with joy and pride.
However, they knew that this was just the beginning...
"Yao'er," Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand tightly, his eyes deep, "We still have a lot to do."
Bi Yao nodded, looking into the distance with a determined gaze, "Yes..." She suddenly paused, her eyes falling on an inconspicuous stone tablet in the corner of the room. On the stone tablet were engraved a few simple characters...
