The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 263: Puppets fight fiercely, working together to defeat the enemy

These guardian puppets were powerful, with various attack methods. Their bodies flashed with cold metallic light, and their movements were rhythmic with machines. Their eyes flickered with dim light, as if they contained endless hostility. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and saw determination in each other's eyes. They immediately led the other disciples to prepare for a thrilling and fierce battle with the guardian puppets.

Yun Yao was the first to cast her own attack spell. She danced with her hands, chanted her magic formulas, and muttered something. In an instant, a sharp wind blade whistled out. The wind blade was in the shape of a half moon, and the edge flashed with sharp light. It cut through the air and made a sharp whistling sound, rushing towards the group of puppets. This wind blade was a spell that Yun Yao had carefully practiced, and its power was enough to cut metal and stone. However, the puppet seemed to have noticed something. One of the tall puppets suddenly raised his arm, and his arm instantly deformed and turned into a metal shield. A layer of strange rune light appeared on the surface of the shield, which easily blocked Yun Yao's wind blade. The wind blade hit the shield, splashing only a faint spark, and then dissipated into nothingness.

But Yun Yao was not discouraged. She moved as nimbly as a ghost, tapping the ground with her feet, and shuttled between the puppets like a stream of light. She used a unique body technique called "Spiritual Wind Step", which she accidentally learned from the ancient books of the sect. After a long period of practice, she has now mastered it. With the blessing of "Spiritual Wind Step", Yun Yao's figure became illusory and elusive. While the puppets have not yet fully reacted, she pinched the spiritual formula in her hand again, and this time summoned several flaming whips. The flaming whip was like a nimble fire snake, twisting its body in the air, and the whip body was burning with raging flames. The scorching high temperature distorted the surrounding air. Yun Yao waved the flaming whip and whipped the puppets fiercely. Wherever the whip went, the space seemed to be burned and made a "sizzling" sound.

However, the defense of these guardian puppets was extremely strong. Facing Yun Yao's flame whip, they adjusted their formation calmly. Several puppets approached each other, and the metal parts on their bodies began to merge and deform. In a moment, they combined into a huge metal fortress. The surface of the fortress was covered with various sharp thorns and energy launchers. Those flame whips only left some charred marks on the fortress, but could not cause any substantial damage to it.

At this time, Yun Yao continued to control the flame whip to attack, trying to find the flaws in the fortress, while paying attention to the movements around her. She found that although these puppets had strong defenses, their attack methods seemed to require a certain amount of preparation time. So, between attacks, she shouted to her disciples: "Everyone be careful, avoid the puppets' attacks and find their weaknesses!"

Chu Mochen was responsible for the shielding. He waved his hands, and the majestic spiritual power surged out, condensing into a huge spiritual shield in front of him. The shield was light blue, and the surface was sparkling, as if it contained endless vitality. This shield can not only resist attacks, but also convert the attack force into its own spiritual power to enhance the defense of the shield. Chu Mochen expanded the range of the shield as much as possible, covering Yun Yao and other disciples. He had a cold look, always paying attention to the puppets' every move. Once he found a puppet trying to attack, he would adjust the angle and strength of the shield in advance to ensure everyone's safety.

During the interval between the puppets' attacks, Chu Mochen discovered that the core energy devices of several puppets were flashing with strong light. He immediately realized that this might be their weakness. He shouted to Yun Yao without hesitation: "Yun Yao, the core energy devices of these puppets are in their chests and abdomens. Attack where the light is flashing!"

Yun Yao was delighted when she heard this, and she immediately changed her tactics. She retracted the flame whip, quickly formed seals with her hands, and shouted: "Pyroblast!" A huge flame ball quickly condensed in front of her, and the flame ball grew larger and larger, and in a blink of an eye, its diameter reached several feet. The flames in the flame ball were surging, and the scorching heat caused the surrounding space to begin to distort and deform, as if it was going to swallow everything in it. Yun Yao's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her face was slightly pale. It was obvious that casting this powerful spell consumed a lot of her spiritual power. But she gritted her teeth and persisted, staring at the group of puppets with a firm look.

With Yun Yao's cry, the flame ball flew towards the puppet group like a meteor. Wherever the flame ball passed, a deep gully was burned on the ground, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning. When the flame ball was about to hit the puppet group, Yun Yao pinched the spiritual formula again and chanted: "Explode!" The flame ball exploded instantly, generating a powerful impact force and a scorching flame wave. The flame wave spread out from the explosion point to the surroundings, instantly covering most of the puppets. The puppets were knocked over by the flame wave, and the metal shells began to turn red and melt under the high temperature.

Taking this opportunity, Yun Yao shouted to the disciples: "Everyone, attack the core energy device of the puppet together!" The disciples responded one after another, each casting their strongest attack spells. For a moment, colorful spell lights intertwined and whistled towards the puppets. One disciple cast the ice cone spell, and dozens of sharp ice cones appeared out of thin air. The ice cones were cold and sparkling under the sunlight. The ice cones shot towards the core energy device of the puppet like sharp arrows. Wherever they went, the air seemed to be frozen, leaving white traces.

There were also disciples who cast lightning spells. Thick lightning bolts fell from the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar. The lightning flashed with dazzling purple light, winding like a dragon, and fiercely struck the puppets. The powerful electrical energy contained in the lightning instantly paralyzed the movements of some puppets, causing them to tremble on the spot.

With everyone's concerted efforts, the core energy device of one puppet was finally hit. A flash of light appeared on the puppet's chest, and then it stopped moving. Its huge body fell to the ground with a bang, raising a cloud of dust. This breakthrough gave everyone a boost of confidence, and they attacked the remaining puppets even more fiercely.

Yun Yao saw that this was a rare opportunity, so she took a deep breath, mobilized the remaining spiritual power in her body, and cast a more powerful spell - "Starlight Break". This spell was obtained by chance in a mysterious relic of her sect. After a long period of practice and comprehension, she was finally able to cast it. She raised her hands above her head, palms facing up, and spiritual power surged out of her body like a tide and gathered above her palms. Gradually, an energy ball emitting bright starlight slowly formed, and the starlight inside the energy ball flickered, as if it contained the mysteries of the universe.

As Yun Yao's spiritual power continued to be injected, the light of the energy ball became more and more dazzling, and the powerful aura it exuded made the surrounding space begin to tremble slightly. Yun Yao shouted and threw the energy ball towards the most powerful of the remaining puppets. During the flight of the energy ball, it dragged a long starlight tail, like a real meteor streaking across the sky.

The powerful puppet seemed to sense the approach of danger. It glowed brightly and tried to strengthen its defense. However, in the face of the powerful power of "Starlight Break", everything was in vain. The energy ball accurately hit the puppet's core energy device, instantly causing a huge explosion. The impact force generated by the explosion blew away all the puppets around it. Those puppets began to disintegrate in mid-air, turning into countless metal fragments scattered all over the ground.

After a fierce battle, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen led the other disciples to finally defeat all the guardian puppets. But they also consumed a lot of spiritual power, and they were pale and panting. Some disciples even collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath, with beads of sweat rolling down their foreheads.

Yun Yao forced herself to stay exhausted and said to everyone, "Everyone, take a rest here and recover your spiritual power. We should not stay here for long. We should recover as soon as possible and then continue to explore the ruins." After that, she slowly sat down and began to practice the exercises, absorbing the spiritual energy around her and replenishing her consumed spiritual power. Chu Mochen was guarding everyone vigilantly, his eyes constantly scanning the surroundings to prevent other dangers from suddenly coming.
