Chapter 409: Collaboration to Defend the Enemy
With the support of the sect masters, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen felt the pressure suddenly reduced, and their bodies and minds, which had been tense as strings, were able to relax a little. Previously, they were surrounded by demonic shadows and their spiritual power was almost exhausted. Every time they resisted the attacks of demonic shadows, they seemed to be struggling to hold on. Now that the reinforcements have arrived, it is like the dawn of light in the dark night, which rekindles their fighting spirit.
Yun Yao raised her hand and gently wiped away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Her originally fair face now showed a bit of fatigue and paleness. She glanced at the seniors who came to help, and her heart was full of gratitude. Chu Mochen also breathed a sigh of relief, and the long sword in his hand drooped slightly. The blade was stained with blood, which was the trace left by the fierce fight with the demon shadow. He turned his head to look at Yun Yao, and their eyes met. In each other's eyes, there was a sense of relief for surviving the disaster, as well as a firm determination for the next counterattack.
Everyone dared not slack off, knowing that although the Shadow Demon was temporarily deterred by the reinforcements, it was still lurking in the dark and could come back at any time to launch a more fierce attack. Therefore, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen quickly gathered with the seniors to discuss the battle strategy.
The elder with snow-white hair had a solemn expression on his face, and the ancient fairy sword in his hand was humming, as if responding to his master's will to fight. He was the first to speak: "The shadow demon is coming with great force this time, and judging from the way it attacks the formation, it is cunning and treacherous. I'm afraid conventional tactics will not be effective." Everyone nodded, with thoughtfulness in their eyes.
Yun Yao frowned slightly, recalling the actions of the phantom demons in the battle just now, especially their precise attacks on the weak points of the magic circle, and their strange ability to sense the circulation of everyone's spiritual power and constantly adjust the rhythm of the attack. She said with an idea in her mind, "In the fight just now, I found that there seems to be some mysterious connection between the phantom demons. When we eliminate one of the phantom demons, the power of the other demons will instantly increase, as if they have a common spiritual power. If we rashly disperse our attacks, I'm afraid we will fall into a passive position."
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. After a few low discussions, another elder who was good at magic manipulation stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then said: "If this is the case, then we can't just fight around like headless flies. We need to concentrate our strength, first find the core of this group of demon shadows, and cut off the connection between them, so that we can break the deadlock."
After everyone had discussed and decided, they immediately divided the work. Several elders joined forces to cast powerful spells, relying on their deep and powerful spiritual power to attack the main force of the phantom demon. These elders are the backbone of the sect. They have experienced countless storms and have practiced for a long time. The spells they master are exquisite and powerful. Some elders are good at controlling water. At this moment, their hands quickly form seals, and the surrounding water vapor quickly condenses and turns into surging waves. They roar like a smart dragon and rush towards the demon shadow. The water waves contain majestic spiritual power. Wherever the demon shadow goes, the figure shakes, as if it is hit by a huge force; some elders are good at playing with fire. They chant in their mouths, and instantly flames rise around them. The hot and high temperature distorts the air. The flame is not an ordinary red, but a strange blue. As the elders wave their hands, the flames hit the demon shadow group like a meteor shower, burning the demon shadow to scream, and the black breath rolls and surges under the burning flames.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, relying on their own flexible movements and familiarity with the magic array, were responsible for cleaning up the demons that escaped the powerful magic attacks of the elders, and also helped to repair the defensive magic array. Yun Yao's figure was agile, like a dancing butterfly shuttling around the edge of the battlefield. She had sharp eyes and kept an eye on the movements of the demons. Once she found a demon avoiding the magic attacks of the elders and trying to sneak attack from the flank or rear, she would quickly take action. She saw her hands forming seals quickly, and rays of spiritual power bloomed from her fingertips, turning into various forms such as spiritual ropes and light shields to trap or block the demons. She also held several specially made talismans in her hands, all of which were carefully selected in the Talisman Hall. At this moment, the spiritual power was injected into the talismans, and the talismans were instantly activated. Some of them could release the power of freezing, instantly freezing the approaching demons, while others would emit a confusing aura, causing the demons to lose their direction for a short time and move slowly.
Chu Mochen was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, guarding Yun Yao closely and protecting her. The long sword in his hand flashed with cold light, and his sword moves were sharp. Every time he swung the sword, there was a whistling sound, and the blade passed through the air, as if it could tear it apart. Once a demon shadow broke through Yun Yao's defense and approached him, he would not hesitate to raise his sword and perform exquisite sword moves. "The Wind and Shadow", the sword moved with the body, as fast as the wind, and instantly cut several cuts on the demon shadow, and a black breath gushed out from the wound; "Thunder and Mountain Breaking", the long sword was infused with spiritual power, and it chopped down fiercely with the power of thunder and lightning, as if it could create the world, and the demon shadow was shaken away when it touched it, and its body mostly dissipated.
In the fierce battle, everyone gradually got used to each other and formed a tight battle formation. The elders attacked in the front row, and the powerful magic lights connected into one, like an indestructible wall of light, advancing step by step towards the group of demon shadows; Yun Yao and Chu Mochen roamed in the back row to fill in the positions and take care of each other. Their cooperation became more and more tacit. When one side was in trouble, the other side immediately supported it. There seemed to be telepathy between the operation of spiritual power.
As the battle continued, the demons seemed to have noticed the change in everyone's tactics and began to counterattack frantically. They no longer attacked in a scattered manner, but gathered together to try to break through the elders' spell barriers. The black spiritual power gathered to form a shield that seemed to be real, resisting the invasion of spells such as fire, water waves, and lightning. The demons twisted their bodies and let out sharp whistles, attacking everyone's defense line wave by wave. The evil power became stronger and stronger. The battlefield was filled with smoke, and the shouts of killing and the roar of spells were intertwined, deafening.
Yun Yao stared at the group of demon shadows, feeling extremely anxious. She knew that if the deadlock could not be broken as soon as possible, once everyone's spiritual power was exhausted, the consequences would be disastrous. Suddenly, her eyes lit up and she found that when the demon shadows gathered to resist, there was a slightly disordered spiritual power fluctuation in the center, and there seemed to be a slight delay in the response with the surrounding demon shadows. She didn't have time to think about it, and immediately shouted to Chu Mochen and the elders: "Everyone, pay attention, the center of the demon shadow group may be the core, let's concentrate our firepower to attack!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was refreshed and immediately adjusted the direction of attack, pouring all their spiritual power and magic towards the direction Yun Yao pointed. For a moment, the battlefield was extremely bright, and spiritual power lights and magic flames of various colors blended with each other, like meteors crashing into the center of the group of demon shadows. The demon shadows felt the fatal threat and surged wildly, trying to block it with their bodies, but under this overwhelming attack, their defenses gradually collapsed, revealing the core hidden inside.
It was a huge black sphere, with strange and twisted runes all over its surface. The runes twisted and flickered like living things, constantly emitting a frightening evil aura. Around the core, several powerful demon shadows surrounded and guarded like loyal guards. They were taller and stronger, with black spiritual power like materialized armor, tightly wrapped around their bodies, and spewing black energy beams from their mouths, trying to stop everyone from approaching.
Faced with such a powerful core and guardian demon, the crowd did not flinch at all, but their fighting spirit became stronger. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other and nodded to each other. They knew that this battle had reached the most critical moment of victory. Only by destroying the core could the haze that enveloped the sect be completely dispelled. Next, it was a thrilling, life-and-death battle. Every circulation of spiritual power, every casting of spells, and every swing of swords were related to the survival of the sect. Everyone gritted their teeth and rushed towards the core bravely.
