The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 222 Counterattack in Desperate Situation

When Yun Yao and Chu Mochen felt overwhelmed, Yun Yao suddenly remembered that there was a hidden task in the system that had not been completed. This hidden task was hinted at when she first entered the ruins, but because of the dangers and battles along the way, she almost forgot about it. At this moment, when life and death were at stake, this trace of memory was like a spark in the dark night, rekindling the light of hope in her mind.

She concentrated her mind and tried to communicate with the system to obtain detailed information about this hidden mission. Instantly, a stream of information flooded into her mind. The system reminded her that in the core area deep in the ruins, there was an ancient and powerful source of power, which had been sealed there for a thousand years. If this power could be guided, a powerful forbidden spell could be cast, but this spell consumed a lot of the caster's spiritual power, and once cast, the body would bear a huge load, and it might even endanger life.

Yun Yao knew that this was a gamble. Success could turn the tide of the war, but failure might mean eternal damnation. But looking at Chu Mochen, who was wounded but still holding on, and the evil forces surging around her like a tide, she did not hesitate at all. She followed the system's prompts, mobilized all the spiritual power in her body, and began to guide the power hidden deep in the ruins.

This power was like a trickle at first, slowly gathering in her body. As Yun Yao continued to guide it deeply, it gradually became turbulent, like a rushing river, rushing through her meridians. Yun Yao clenched her teeth, endured the severe pain from her meridians, and condensed this power according to a specific formula. Her forehead was covered with beads of sweat, which slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground under her feet, instantly steaming up wisps of mist.

Chu Mochen noticed something was wrong with Yun Yao. Although he didn't know what Yun Yao was doing, he could feel a strong and dangerous force brewing in her body. He was worried, but he also knew that he couldn't disturb Yun Yao at this moment. He could only swing his sword harder and build a solid defense line in front of Yun Yao to block the waves of attacks from the evil forces.

As the power continued to condense, Yun Yao's body began to emit a dazzling light. The light was relatively soft at first, but as the power became stronger, the light gradually became dazzling, covering her entire body. Yun Yao felt as if her body was about to burst by this power, and every inch of her skin was under tremendous pressure, but her eyes became more and more determined.

Finally, when Yun Yao felt that she was about to reach her limit, she successfully condensed this power completely. In an instant, she cast that powerful forbidden spell. A huge beam of light shot up into the sky, like a bright star exploding in the ruins. Wherever the light reached, the space seemed to be distorted.

The members of the evil forces were enveloped by the sudden light and screamed. Those members who were close to the center of the light had their bodies torn apart by the light and turned into dust; those who were a little further away were also knocked to the ground by the powerful force, and the spiritual power in their bodies rushed uncontrollably like a flood, greatly reducing their strength.

This powerful spell wave even caused the ruins to shake violently, cracks began to appear on the surrounding walls, and stones fell one after another. Some hidden traps were also triggered, and sharp arrows, poisonous mist and other hidden weapons were sprayed towards the evil forces and Yun Yao and the others, making the already chaotic battlefield even more dangerous.

Chu Mochen was blown back by a powerful force the moment the light burst out. He hit a stone pillar hard, and it broke instantly, raising a cloud of dust. But he ignored the pain in his body, and endured the disordered spiritual power in his body, struggling to stand up, and searching for Yun Yao's figure on the chaotic battlefield.

At this time, Yun Yao, after casting the forbidden spell, suffered a huge backlash. Her face was as pale as paper, blood was flowing from the corners of her mouth, and her legs were trembling slightly, as if she would collapse in the next moment. But her eyes were still fixed on the evil forces in front of her, and she held the spell tightly in her hands to maintain the continuous release of the spell.

In this brief chaos, Chu Mochen saw the right opportunity. He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the injuries in his body, mobilized the remaining spiritual power, and rushed towards the evil forces who were torn to pieces by the spell. His long sword flashed a cold light in the air, and every time it was swung, it brought up a blood mist.

He was like a wounded tiger, fighting madly in the enemy camp. The members of the evil forces were already dizzy from Yun Yao's magic, and now facing Chu Mochen's crazy attack, they had no power to fight back. Chu Mochen had only one belief in his heart, which was to buy more time for Yun Yao so that she could recover from the backlash of the magic, and at the same time weaken the power of the evil forces as much as possible.

Under Chu Mochen's fierce attack, the encirclement of the evil forces was gradually torn open. While fighting, he approached Yun Yao's direction, shouting Yun Yao's name loudly, hoping to attract her attention.

Yun Yao heard Chu Mochen's cry. She turned her head slightly and saw Chu Mochen fighting bloody in the enemy camp. A warm current surged in her heart, but also filled with worry. She knew that Chu Mochen's injuries would only get worse if he fought so desperately.

She wanted to stop casting spells to help Chu Mochen, but she also knew that if she stopped, the evil forces would reorganize their offensive and all their previous efforts would be in vain. So, she endured the severe pain in her body and the worries in her heart, and continued to release the spells, while silently praying in her heart, hoping that Chu Mochen would be safe.

As time went by, Yun Yao's body became weaker and weaker, and her vision began to blur. But she still persisted with her tenacious will, and the powerful light, supported by her, always enveloped some members of the evil forces, preventing them from escaping.

Chu Mochen had many new wounds on his body during the battle. His clothes were already soaked in blood and stuck to his body, but his movements were not slow at all. He knew in his heart that every second he held on, Yun Yao and them would have a better chance of winning.

Just when Yun Yao felt that she was about to give up, she suddenly discovered that there was an old man in a black robe among the evil forces, hiding behind a group of his men, holding a crystal that emitted a strange light. This crystal seemed to be constantly absorbing the energy around it, including the energy of the forbidden spell that Yun Yao cast.

Yun Yao's heart moved. She realized that this old man in black robe might be the key figure of the evil forces. If she could destroy the crystal in his hand, she might be able to completely turn the tide of the battle. But at this time, she was far away from the old man in black robe, and her body was weak, so she couldn't get close at all.

She could only place her hopes on Chu Mochen. She used all her strength and shouted loudly in the direction of Chu Mochen: "Chen, the old man in black robe, Crystal!"

Chu Mochen's heart moved when he heard Yun Yao's cry. He immediately understood what Yun Yao meant. His eyes quickly searched the battlefield and soon locked onto the old man in black robe. A trace of determination flashed in his eyes. He knew that this was their only chance.

He displayed a unique body movement, moving through the enemy formation like a phantom. The evil forces tried to stop him, but he cleverly avoided them. His speed increased, and he rushed towards the black-robed old man like a flash of lightning.

The old man in black robe noticed Chu Mochen approaching, and his expression changed slightly. The crystal in his hand shone brightly, trying to block Chu Mochen's attack. But Chu Mochen was not afraid at all. He concentrated all the remaining spiritual power in his body on the long sword, and the long sword instantly burst out with a powerful sword energy.

The moment he approached the black-robed old man, Chu Mochen shouted loudly and stabbed the crystal in the black-robed old man's hand with the long sword in his hand. The black-robed old man dodged in a hurry, but he was still a step too slow. Chu Mochen's long sword stabbed the crystal, and the crystal made a sharp sound, and then shattered.

As the crystal shattered, the evil forces lost their backbone and their power was instantly weakened. Those members who were covered by Yun Yao's forbidden spells collapsed to the ground one after another, and their lives or deaths were unknown.

Yun Yao heaved a sigh of relief when she saw this. She could no longer hold on and slowly fell down. After shattering the crystal, Chu Mochen also exhausted all his spiritual power. His body flew towards the direction where Yun Yao fell like a kite with its string cut.

At the last moment before she lost consciousness, Yun Yao saw Chu Mochen flying towards her, and the corners of her mouth slightly lifted up, revealing a relieved smile. She knew that they had finally survived this desperate situation, and although they had paid a heavy price, they were still alive, and as long as they were alive, there was hope.
