Chapter 456 Reversing the Tide of the War
The mountain wind howled, carrying a thick smell of blood and evil, raging over the sect. After the demon cultivator activated the demon god altar, the dark red mist was like a surging tide, quickly engulfing the pavilions and towers of the sect, tearing the usual tranquility and peace into pieces.
Yun Yao held the purification jade bottle, and spiritual power was continuously poured into it. The jade bottle emitted a soft glow, which was in sharp contrast with the surrounding darkness. Chu Mochen endured the severe pain of the wound, frowned, and swung the long sword in his hand to create a defensive barrier for Yun Yao. Liu Yan'er waited for an opportunity to move, the magic sword hummed and trembled, and the madness and jealousy in her eyes became stronger, as if she wanted to eat Yun Yao and Chu Mochen alive.
Just as the jade bottle was about to absorb the magic energy, Liu Yan'er seized the opportunity and thrust the magic sword with black magic flames at Yun Yao's back like a venomous snake escaping from a hole. At the critical moment, Chu Mochen stood sideways in front of Yun Yao, and the magic sword mercilessly pierced his shoulder blade, causing blood to gush out instantly and splash onto Yun Yao's face.
"Chu Mochen!" Yun Yao screamed in fear, her eyes instantly red, tears pouring out uncontrollably. She reached out to support Chu Mochen's shaky body, but the purification jade bottle in her hand could not stop for a moment. The system's ruthless countdown echoed in her ears: "Remaining time for purification: less than half an incense stick."
Chu Mochen's face was as pale as paper, and his lips were bloodless, but he still gritted his teeth and forced out a smile: "Don't worry about me... stop the devil..." After that, he used up his last bit of strength and threw the sword in his hand fiercely at Liu Yan'er, forcing her to take a few steps back to buy some breathing space for Yun Yao.
Yun Yao bit her lower lip tightly until blood oozed from the corner of her mouth. She turned her grief and anger into strength and poured her spiritual power into the jade bottle without reservation. The purifying jade bottle shone brightly, like a rising sun, competing with the power of the surrounding demon gods. However, the demon cultivators saw this and increased their magic output. The runes on the demon god altar shone more hideously, and the dark red mist surged again, as if to completely annihilate this glimmer of light.
Yun Yao was extremely anxious. She looked around and saw that the disciples of the sect were defeated by the attacks of the demon cultivators, with heavy casualties. Although the elders fought hard, the demon cultivators came prepared and borrowed the power of the demon god, so the situation was precarious. She knew that if the source of the demon energy could not be purified as soon as possible, the entire sect would face a catastrophe, and everyone's efforts and sacrifices would be in vain.
Suddenly, Yun Yao had a flash of inspiration in her mind. She remembered that the system had mentioned that in desperate situations, the hidden potential of the magic weapon could be stimulated. She didn't have time to think about it. She concentrated her mind and established a deeper connection with the purification jade bottle. She muttered something in her mouth. It was an ancient and obscure spell that came from the information that the system gave when it rewarded the jade bottle. As the spell sounded, the jade bottle trembled slightly, and a layer of golden lines appeared around it. The light became more and more dazzling. The magic energy that was originally absorbed slowly now rushed into the bottle like a whale swallowing it.
Seeing this, Liu Yan'er's face was ferocious, and she rushed over again waving the magic sword, shouting: "You all must die! No one can ruin my plan!" Yun Yao's eyes were stern, and he controlled the flying sword to meet it. The flying sword and the magic sword collided fiercely in the air, sparks flew, and a harsh metal friction sound was made. Although Yun Yao's spiritual power was greatly consumed, relying on his tenacious will and exquisite control of swordsmanship, he was able to fight Liu Yan'er on equal terms for the time being.
"Hmph, you think you can stop me? Yun Yao, you are destined to die here today!" Liu Yan'er laughed wildly while attacking, and the power of the magic sword in her hand became more and more violent.
Yun Yao snorted coldly: "Wishful thinking! Today is the day you die!" She skillfully displayed her sword skills, using a little force to move a great object, and repeatedly resolved Liu Yan'er's fierce attacks, while looking for the opponent's flaws.
Just as the two were in a stalemate, a few streaks of light suddenly flashed in the distant sky, and then the elders of the sect led a group of reinforcements to arrive like divine soldiers descending from the sky. The elders used their unique skills, and the powerful spiritual power fluctuations instantly dispelled some of the evil spirits, bringing a hint of clarity to the place where Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were.
"You evil creature! How dare you collude with the devil cultivators and try to destroy our sect!" The great elder's eyes were wide open with anger, and he waved the whisk in his hand, transforming into a giant golden dragon, roaring and rushing towards the devil cultivators' camp.
The other elders also used their magic weapons. For a moment, the light of the magic weapons and the dark magic of the demon cultivators intertwined and illuminated the entire night sky. The morale of the reinforcements was greatly boosted. They followed the elders and fought bravely, engaging in a life-and-death battle with the demon cultivators.
Yun Yao was delighted to see the reinforcements coming, and turned to look at Chu Mochen. He was leaning against a huge rock, his face pale, blood still gushing out of his wounds, and his breath was weak. Yun Yao was extremely anxious and wanted to go over and heal him immediately, but the crisis was not over yet, so she could only hold back her tears and shouted loudly: "Chu Mochen, you must hold on!"
Chu Mochen nodded slightly, his eyes revealing determination and trust: "Don't worry... I will be fine... Go quickly..."
Yun Yao took a deep breath and held the purification jade bottle tightly again. At this time, the jade bottle had absorbed most of the demonic energy, but the core power of the demon god altar was still resisting stubbornly. She looked at the altar with a firm gaze and murmured, "Today, I will purify you completely!"
Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Liu Yan'er became timid and wanted to escape in the chaos. Yun Yao would not let her succeed. She waved her jade hand and a spiritual rope flew out instantly. It was the Immortal Binding Rope rewarded by the system. The Immortal Binding Rope was like a nimble snake. In the blink of an eye, it wrapped around Liu Yan'er's legs and tripped her to the ground.
"Want to run? Not that easy!" Yun Yao stepped forward quickly, holding the flying sword against Liu Yan'er's throat, eyes full of anger: "You have committed such a sin, today is your retribution!"
Liu Yan'er collapsed to the ground, her eyes still filled with resentment and resentment: "Yun Yao, do you think you won? Even if you stop the demon today, in the days ahead..."
Yun Yao snorted coldly and interrupted her: "I will deal with what happens next. You, a villain, only deserve to spend the rest of your life repenting in prison!" After that, she put away her flying sword and handed Liu Yan'er to the elders who came to deal with it.
Turning around, Yun Yao ran towards Chu Mochen. The elders were already healing him, but his face was still pale. Yun Yao was anxious, holding his hand, slowly injecting spiritual power into his body, trying to help him stabilize his injuries: "You must get better..."
Chu Mochen raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said weakly: "I haven't helped you find the mystery of your life yet... How could I fall down so easily..."
Yun Yao nodded slightly with tears in her eyes: "Okay, when you are healed, we will be together..."
At this moment, as the last ray of light from the Purifying Jade Bottle flashed, the Demon God Altar collapsed, the dark red mist dissipated, and the night sky became clear again. The disciples of the sect cheered and celebrated this hard-won victory. Yun Yao looked at the cheering crowd, and then looked at Chu Mochen who was seriously injured beside him, with mixed feelings in her heart. Although this battle was won with difficulty, the price paid was too heavy. However, as long as Chu Mochen is still there, as long as the sect is still there, there is still hope for the future...
