Chapter 172: Breakthrough in Difficulties
Yun Yao and the others were trapped in this powerful formation, surrounded by countless invisible hands, tightly strangling their throats. The power emanating from the formation was like a surging wave, impacting everyone wave after wave. Each impact was like a heavy hammer hitting their spiritual sea, causing the disciples' spiritual power to become disordered and their blood to surge. The lines of light intertwined were like poisonous snakes spitting out their tongues, roaming around, ready to deliver a fatal blow at any time.
Yun Yao bit her lower lip tightly, blood seeping from the corner of her mouth, but she was completely unaware. Her eyes were like torches, staring at the seemingly irregular energy flow in the formation. The system's prompts kept echoing in her mind, which was her only guiding light in the darkness at this moment. She knew that she couldn't panic, because if she lost her composure, everyone would be buried here.
Chu Mochen's face was also extremely solemn, veins popped out on his forehead, and sweat poured down like rain. He struggled with his powerful spiritual power, trying to resist some of the attacks of the formation for his disciples. Every time the energy collided, his body trembled slightly, but there was no sign of retreat in his eyes.
"Everyone, don't panic!" Yun Yao shouted loudly. Her voice seemed a little weak in the chaotic formation, but it was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart, making those frightened disciples come back to their senses. "We will definitely find a way to break the formation."
She began to carefully observe the structure of the formation according to the system prompts. This formation was more complicated than she could imagine, like a huge maze interwoven with countless ancient runes and mysterious forces. Each rune contained powerful energy, and they were interconnected and influenced each other, forming this desperate dilemma.
Yun Yao discovered that the energy flow of the formation would stagnate briefly in certain places, just like the whirlpool in a river. Although it seemed chaotic, it actually had its own internal rules. She tried to find clues along these energy stagnation points, like a blind person groping in the dark.
Chu Mochen was fending off the attack from the formation while keeping an eye on Yun Yao's actions. Seeing Yun Yao so focused, he had a little more respect for her. At this critical moment, she was not afraid at all, but calm as a veteran who had been through many battles.
"Here!" Yun Yao suddenly shouted. She found a key node where energy gathered. The energy fluctuations around this node were extremely violent, like the center of a storm. "We need to find a way to destroy this node. Maybe we can find a way to break through the formation."
Chu Mochen heard this and immediately moved in the direction Yun Yao pointed. However, the formation seemed to have sensed their intentions and the attack became more fierce. Rays of light shot towards them like sharp arrows, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.
The disciples also cheered up, knowing that this was the only chance of survival. Some disciples cast defensive spells to try to buy time for Yun Yao and Chu Mochen; others fought against the attacking forces around them. Although they were covered in wounds, their eyes were full of determination.
Yun Yao and Chu Mochen approached the node with difficulty, and every step was extremely difficult. Their spiritual power was constantly depleted, and their bodies were gradually exhausted, but their faith in their hearts became more and more firm.
Finally, they arrived near the node. The oppressive energy here almost crushed them, as if they were in the crater of a volcano about to erupt.
"Let's do it!" Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other and cast their strongest spells at the same time. The magic weapon in Yun Yao's hand emitted a dazzling blue light, which was the power condensed from her water-based skills. The blue light was like a roaring water dragon, swooping towards the node.
Chu Mochen's spiritual power surged all over his body, and the magic weapon in his hand turned into a sharp sword energy, carrying the momentum of destroying the world, echoing with Yun Yao's water dragon power.
The power of the two collided with the energy of the node, making a deafening roar. The entire formation trembled violently, as if groaning in pain.
However, the node was not easily destroyed. It just shook a little and then returned to its original state. At the same time, the formation's counterattack was even more fierce, and a powerful force shook Yun Yao and Chu Mochen away.
The two men fell heavily to the ground, blood gushing out of their mouths. But they did not hesitate at all, and immediately got up and prepared to attack again.
"Everyone, come together!" Yun Yao shouted. The disciples heard Yun Yao's call and gathered together. They gathered all their remaining spiritual power to form a huge force.
This time, they worked together, and all their strength rushed towards the node like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea. That was their last hope and their desire for survival.
Under the joint attack of everyone, cracks finally began to appear on the nodes. The cracks were like the light of dawn, giving everyone hope.
"Try harder!" Chu Mochen roared, and he injected his last bit of spiritual power into the attack.
With a loud bang, the node was finally completely destroyed. The formation was like a body without a soul, and began to gradually disintegrate. The light gradually dissipated, and those energy lines like venomous snakes disappeared without a trace.
Everyone collapsed on the ground exhausted, but their faces were filled with joy at having survived the disaster.
"We succeeded..." Yun Yao said weakly, tears flashing in her eyes.
Chu Mochen looked at Yun Yao and smiled with relief. "Yes, thanks to you."
The disciples also hugged each other to celebrate this hard-earned victory.
After a short rest, they continued on their way. Although the atmosphere was still tense, they were more resolute in their hearts.
Soon after, they finally found the source of the mysterious power. It was a place with a strange atmosphere, as if it was a dark corner of the world. A black mist was spreading around, and a huge seal could be vaguely seen. The runes on the seal were flashing a dark red light, as if warning people of the horror of the evil power it sealed.
"This is it." Yun Yao said softly, her eyes full of solemnity.
They approached cautiously and could clearly feel the evil power stirring under the seal. It was like a demon that had been imprisoned for countless years, eager to break free of its shackles and wreak havoc on the world.
"We must stop it." Chu Mochen clenched his fists.
The disciples also realized the seriousness of the situation and they were ready for the upcoming battle.
