Chapter 608 Bloody Deal
The situation in the world of cultivation became more and more treacherous, like an invisible giant net that wrapped everyone in it. Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and Ye Wuhen fled all the way, with the Burning Heaven Palace chasing them like a shadow behind them, and every step they took was on the edge of life and death.
That day, they strayed into a desolate land, surrounded by jagged rocks, and howling winds that blew up dust all over the sky, blocking out the sun and making it almost impossible to see the road ahead. Just as they were trying to identify the direction, a strong smell of blood came over them, pungent and nauseating. Yun Yao's heart tightened, and she vigilantly grasped the Jiehuo Sword in her hand, scanning the surroundings with a torch-like gaze.
"Be careful, there may be an ambush here." Chu Mochen looked stern, protecting Yun Yao behind him, and the black ice knife hummed, as if sensing the impending crisis, the coldness on the blade became more and more pressing, and condensed into strands of ice in the hot sand. Ye Wuhen also quickly sacrificed his magic weapon, revealing the demeanor of the master of Xingyun Pavilion. His eyes were resolute, ready to deal with unknown dangers at any time.
However, they still underestimated the insidiousness of the Burning Heaven Palace. Just as the three of them were defending in a triangle, the ground suddenly shook violently, and blood-red light broke out from the ground, instantly interweaving into a huge and complex magic array - it was the "Yin Yang Blood Array" carefully arranged by Liu Yan'er. In the array, thousands of mortal monks were imprisoned, their faces were terrified, and their desperate cries were torn to pieces by the strong wind. These monks came from different sects and families, and had their own ordinary or extraordinary lives, but they became victims of this conspiracy for no reason.
In the center of the blood array, half of the fragment of the Burning Heart Mirror was suspended in the air, emitting a strange light. In the mirror, the people that Yun Yao had saved in the secular world were reflected. Those familiar faces were now full of pain and helplessness, and their figures appeared distorted and hideous under the reflection of the blood.
"Yun Yao, if you take another step forward, these ants will be shattered." Liu Yan'er's voice seemed to come from the Netherworld, revealing bone-chilling coldness and madness. She slowly appeared from behind the blood array, wearing a black robe, and her sleeves rustled in the fierce wind, like a demon in the dark night. She wore a red copper mask on her face, revealing only a pair of narrow eyes, which flashed with madness and complacency. She stared at Yun Yao intently, as if she was enjoying a good show she had carefully directed.
When Yun Yao saw the people in the mirror, her heart suddenly clenched. Those once warm smiles and simple gratitude turned into sharp blades, piercing her heart fiercely. Her hands trembled unconsciously, and her eyes were full of anger and reluctance: "Liu Yan'er, how dare you be so cruel! They are all innocent people!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan'er burst into a piercing laugh: "Innocent? In this world of cultivation, the strong are respected, and the weak are nothing but ants. Do you think becoming a rising star in the world of cultivation can change anything? In the face of absolute power, your mercy is nothing but a joke - just like your mother back then, knowing that the Yunhua Sect was going to be wiped out, she still wanted to use the teleportation array to save a piece of trash like you!"
When Yun Yao mentioned her mother, her eyes instantly ignited with rage. She gritted her teeth and said, "You are not allowed to insult my mother!"
"Hmph, your mother thought she could defy fate, but what was the result? The Yunhua Sect was still destroyed by the Burning Heaven Palace, and she ended up being sealed in the 'Burning Heart Mirror'. And you, will follow in her footsteps today." Liu Yan'er mocked wantonly, the spells in her hands kept changing, the light of the blood formation became more and more intense, and the mortal monks in the formation wailed in pain, the sound was creepy.
Chu Mochen was furious upon seeing this. He swung his Xuanbing Blade and a powerful icy force swept towards the blood formation, trying to break the formation and save people: "Liu Yan'er, today is the day you die!" However, a layer of blood-colored light curtain appeared in the blood formation, which easily dissolved his attack. The icy force turned into water vapor and dissipated instantly when it touched the light curtain.
Ye Wuhen was not to be outdone. The magic weapon in his hand burst into brilliant light, and rays of starlight hit Liu Yan'er like meteors: "Don't be so arrogant, I will make you pay the price today!" Liu Yan'er flashed and easily avoided the attack. Her laughter echoed in the wind: "You think you can break my formation? You are overestimating your own abilities!"
Yun Yao suppressed her anger, knowing that being impulsive would only make the situation worse. She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She stared at the fragments of the Heart Burning Mirror in the blood array, thinking quickly about how to break the array. Suddenly, she remembered some of the magic formulas her mother had taught her in the illusion. Although she had not fully understood them, she could only try her best at this moment.
She closed her eyes, calmed her mind, slowly formed seals with her hands, and chanted something. As she chanted the spell, her spiritual veins trembled slightly, and a mysterious power began to flow through her meridians. Gradually, a layer of light golden light appeared around her body. Although the light was not dazzling, it revealed a sense of tenacity.
"Hmph, playing tricks!" Seeing this, Liu Yan'er felt a little uneasy in her heart, but she still acted strong. She activated the blood formation, increasing the torture on the mortal cultivators. The bloody smell in the formation became stronger and stronger, as if it was going to dye the whole world blood red.
Yun Yao remained unmoved, immersed in the world of spells. Suddenly, she opened her eyes abruptly, a golden light flashed in her eyes, and she shouted: "Break!" She pushed her hands forward, and a golden light shot towards the blood array like a sharp sword. The light curtain of the blood array trembled violently under the impact of the golden light, rippling, and the blood-colored light in the array dimmed a little.
"How is it possible?" Liu Yan'er's face changed. She obviously didn't expect Yun Yao to be able to shake the blood formation. She hurriedly urged her magic power to try to stabilize the formation. The spells in her hands changed more and more rapidly. Sweat oozed from her forehead and wet her cheeks under the mask.
Seeing this, Chu Mochen and Ye Wuhen's eyes lit up with hope. They looked at each other and launched attacks at the same time in tacit understanding. Chu Mochen's black ice knife was filled with cold air, and the air condensed wherever the blade passed; Ye Wuhen's magic weapon shone brightly, and the starlight was like rain, smashing towards Liu Yan'er and the blood formation.
Under the joint attack of the three, the blood formation was on the verge of collapse. Liu Yan'er was extremely anxious. She gritted her teeth and injected her magic power into the blood formation without reservation, even at the cost of her own essence to maintain the formation. After receiving the blessing of magic power, the blood formation stabilized again. The light in the formation became more violent, and the screams of the mortal monks became more shrill.
Yun Yao looked at the suffering people in the formation and felt distressed. She made up her mind and decided to take a risk. She activated the spiritual veins in her body and continuously gathered spiritual power into her palm. A ball of blazing fire gradually formed in her palm. As the flames jumped, they exuded a breath of destruction.
"My mother taught me that even if there is only a glimmer of hope, I must go against fate." Yun Yao looked at the blood formation with a firm gaze and muttered to herself. After that, she flashed and rushed towards the blood formation like a ghost, and the fire in her hand smashed hard at the weak point of the blood formation.
"Yun Yao, no!" Chu Mochen was horrified when he saw this. He wanted to stop her but it was too late. He could only watch Yun Yao rushing towards the blood formation, feeling extremely anxious.
The moment Yun Yao rushed into the blood array, the golden light and fire around her collided violently with the blood-colored light of the blood array, making a deafening roar. She gritted her teeth, endured the backlash of the blood array, and moved closer to the fragments of the Burning Heart Mirror step by step. With every step she took, she felt as if thousands of steel needles were piercing her body, and blood flowed from the corners of her mouth, but her eyes never wavered.
Seeing Yun Yao's determination, Liu Yan'er was a little flustered. She controlled the magic power in the blood array and tried to trap Yun Yao to death: "You are courting death!"
However, Yun Yao relied on her tenacious will and her obsession with the people to fight her way through the blood array. She finally came to the fragment of the Burning Heart Mirror and reached out to grab it. The moment her fingertips touched the fragment, a terrible picture suddenly flashed through her mind - Chu Mochen fell in a pool of blood, dying, his eyes full of reluctance and attachment.
This turned out to be the "causal prophecy" of the Burning Heart Mirror. Yun Yao was horrified and subconsciously wanted to stop. But at this moment, Liu Yan'er seized the opportunity and took advantage of her distraction to launch a fatal attack. A black demonic flame attacked Yun Yao's back like a poisonous snake.
At the critical moment, Chu Mochen flew forward without hesitation and blocked the fatal blow with his body. The Jiejie array pattern on his chest instantly emitted a dazzling golden light, and the whole person flew backwards like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground, and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao screamed heartbreakingly, and rushed towards Chu Mochen regardless of everything. She helped Chu Mochen up, her eyes full of anxiety and self-blame: "Silly, why did you do this?"
Chu Mochen looked at Yun Yao with a weak breath, a smile on his lips: "From the first time you tempered your spirit body in the cold pond, I knew that the heavenly calamity that I blocked for you that year would eventually become an opportunity for us to stand side by side... How could I... watch you... in danger..." Before he finished speaking, his head drooped weakly and he fell into a coma.
"No——" Yun Yao cried out to the sky, tears welling up in her eyes. She gently put Chu Mochen down and slowly stood up. The aura around her became cold and resolute. She looked at Liu Yan'er, the anger in her eyes seemed to burn her to ashes: "Liu Yan'er, you have committed such a sin today, I will make you pay with blood!"
After saying that, the Jiehuo Sword in Yun Yao's hand hummed, and the flames on the sword burned more fiercely. She flashed and rushed towards Liu Yan'er like a goddess of revenge. A life-and-death duel began...
