The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 669: The Battle of the Way of Slaying

Above the sky, the wind and clouds were surging, as if even the sky could sense the shocking confrontation that was about to break out, presenting a scene of impending doomsday. The blood and energy of the Blood Evil Sect's leader were surging, as if a materialized sea of blood, making him look like a demon from the Netherworld. The "Blood Evil Heavenly Monument" in his hand was emitting a chilling light, and the runes on the monument twisted like a living thing, faintly revealing an endless murderous aura, and each rune seemed to be telling the tragic fate of those it slaughtered.

Yun Yao, in a white dress whiter than snow, with black hair dancing in the wind, stood tall and firm, like a plum blossom blooming on the top of a cliff. Although she was facing a desperate situation, she exuded a cold and unyielding temperament. The Hongmeng Sword in her hand shone brightly, and the runes on the sword body echoed with the Hongmeng blood in her body, humming, as if announcing to the world that it was about to open up a way for its master to go against the will of heaven.

Below them, in the square outside the Chu Mo family ancestral hall, there was a sea of blood and a mountain of corpses. Liu Yan'er was like a madman, her laughter echoing in the wind, revealing a bone-chilling chill. She held the old housekeeper's head in her hand, blood dripping down her arm, gathering into a dark red pool of blood on the ground. At her feet were the corpses of the Chu Mo family members. The once vibrant lives had now turned into cold shells, but she seemed unaware of it. There was a mad and greedy light in her eyes, and she shouted: "Yun Yao, do you think you are safe hiding in a turtle shell? I will suck all the blood of the Chu Mo family dry today!"

Chu Mochen's eyes swept over this tragic scene, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the anger in his heart surged like a volcanic eruption. He saw his younger brother Chu Moxuan nailed to the ancient door, and the soul-piercing nail on his chest flashed a strange light, as if it was ruthlessly devouring his brother's life. Chu Moxuan's face was as pale as paper, his breath was weak, his eyes were closed, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. Only his slightly trembling body showed that he was still fighting against death.

"Yan'er, why are you so stubborn!" Chu Mochen roared, his voice full of anger, pain and disbelief. He and Liu Yan'er had known each other since childhood, and their past friendship was torn to pieces by her actions at this moment. The complex emotions in his heart were like a surging tide, almost drowning him.

Hearing this, Liu Yan'er turned her head and looked at Chu Mochen. The madness on her face became more intense, and her laughter became more shrill: "You are stubborn? Haha, you forced me to do all this! All I want is powerful strength and the glory of standing at the top of this cultivation world, but you block my way again and again!" After that, she waved her hands, and blood light poured out from her palms, interweaving in the air to form a strange formation - the blood curse puppet formation. In an instant, the corpses on the ground trembled one after another, and then the dead members of the Chu Mo family slowly stood up, their eyes were filled with blood light, empty and lifeless, their movements were stiff but with a murderous aura, and they rushed towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen.

Seeing this, Yun Yao's beautiful eyes became even colder. She knew very well that today's battle was related to the life and death of too many people, and she could not retreat at all. She clenched the Hongmeng Sword in her hand, and the sword shone brightly. She shouted softly: "Chu Mochen, let's go! Break this evil formation first and save your people!" After that, she rushed into the puppet formation like lightning.

Wherever the Hongmeng Sword passed, blood and light dissipated. The puppets that were controlled were instantly turned into ashes when they touched the Hongmeng power on the sword. Yun Yao was agile and her swordsmanship was exquisite. Every swing of the sword brought about a vibration in space, as if it could split the heaven and earth. However, the Blood Curse Puppet Array continuously extracted the blood and energy around it. The number of puppets did not decrease, but increased instead, and the offensive became more and more fierce.

Chu Mochen suppressed the grief in his heart and quickly sacrificed his life-saving magic weapon, the Chu family jade pendant. The jade pendant was suspended in the air, emitting a warm blue light, which echoed with Yun Yao's Hongmeng power. He formed seals with his hands and chanted something. Threads of spiritual power shot out from his fingertips and connected to every surviving member of the Chu Mo family. In an instant, the spiritual power of all the Chu Mo people was gathered together to form a huge protective formation, shining brightly, temporarily trapping the three hall masters in it.

"Yun Yao, I will hold them back here first, you go and deal with the Blood Evil Sect Leader!" Chu Mochen shouted, his eyes firm and resolute. Although he knew very well what a powerful enemy Yun Yao was about to face, at the moment, they had no choice.

Yun Yao nodded, tapped her toes, and rushed towards the Blood Demon Sect Master like a ghost. Seeing this, the Blood Demon Sect Master snorted coldly, and the Blood Demon Heavenly Stele in his hand shook violently, smashing towards Yun Yao fiercely. Before the stele arrived, the powerful pressure had already caused ripples in the space around Yun Yao, as if to crush her.

Yun Yao did not avoid or give way. Her Hongmeng blood instantly boiled. She poured all her spiritual power into the Hongmeng Sword and slashed at the Blood Evil Heavenly Monument. This sword contained her rage against the Blood Evil Sect, her protective power for her relatives and friends, and the mission that the Hongmeng Clan had shouldered for thousands of years. At the moment when the sword and the monument collided, the world seemed to be silent for a moment, and then a loud noise shook the sky, and violent energy ripples spread all around. Under the impact of this force, the mountain below collapsed instantly, huge rocks rolled down, and smoke and dust filled the air.

At this moment, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the sky, lightning flashed, and purple lightning streaked down like an angry dragon. This was the "heavenly punishment" sent down by the Heavenly Dao. Obviously, the Heavenly Dao issued the most severe warning to Yun Yao for trying to restart the ancient Hongmeng Clan, which was a heaven-defying act.

Yun Yao looked up at the sky full of lightning, but she had no fear in her heart. She knew very well that if she could not completely eradicate the Blood Evil Sect today, not only would her life and the lives of those around her be in danger, but the entire cultivation world and even the universe would fall into endless darkness. At this critical moment, she used the power of Hongmeng to resist the increasingly fierce attacks of the Blood Evil Sect Master, while paying attention to Liu Yan'er's Blood Curse Puppet Array, guarding against her sneak attack.

The Blood Demon Sect leader noticed Yun Yao's distraction and showed a ferocious smile on his face. He changed the spell in his hand, and the runes on the Blood Demon Heavenly Stele glowed brightly. Blood shadows emerged from the stele and pounced on Yun Yao with fangs and claws. These blood shadows were all formed by the resentment of those slaughtered by the Blood Demon Sect, carrying endless pain and hatred, and had extremely strong attack power.

Seeing this, Yun Yao's eyes focused. She activated the power of Hongmeng to form a shield in front of her, blocking all the blood shadows. At the same time, her consciousness spread out, looking for the flaws in the blood curse puppet formation. Suddenly, she found a faint blood light at the center of the formation, connecting to Liu Yan'er's eyebrows. Obviously, as long as this blood light is cut off, the formation can be broken.

Yun Yao seized the opportunity, and her figure flashed, rushing towards Liu Yan'er as if teleporting. Liu Yan'er sensed the danger approaching, her face changed drastically, and she hurriedly controlled the puppets to come to stop her. However, Yun Yao was too fast, and before the puppets arrived, she had already bullied in front of Liu Yan'er. With a wave of the Hongmeng Sword in her hand, a sharp sword energy slashed towards the blood light.

Liu Yan'er screamed in fear. She desperately mobilized the magic power in her body to try to strengthen the blood light. But under the power of the Hongmeng Sword, her resistance seemed so powerless. The blood light was cut off in an instant, and the blood curse puppet formation collapsed. The puppets that were controlled fell to the ground one after another, and there was no movement.

After solving the Blood Curse Puppet Array, Yun Yao did not have time to breathe and turned to face the Blood Demon Sect Master again. At this time, the Blood Demon Sect Master's attack became more and more violent. He seemed to sense the approaching crisis and wanted to end the battle quickly.

Yun Yao took a deep breath. She knew that the critical moment had arrived. She suddenly activated the forbidden time and space technique of the Hongmeng Clan - the moment of eternity. In an instant, the flow of time around her suddenly changed. Except for her and the Blood Demon Sect Master, everything seemed to have stopped. The Blood Demon Sect Master showed a look of shock on his face. Obviously, he did not expect Yun Yao to be able to cast such a heaven-defying spell.

During this still time, Yun Yao's figure was as fast as lightning. Holding the Hongmeng Sword, she rushed towards the Blood Demon Sect Master. Every step she took seemed to cross endless time and space, and her aura became more and more fierce. She clearly saw the fear in the Blood Demon Sect Master's eyes, and the Hongmeng Clan mark looming on his neck.

"Who are you? Why do you have the mark of my Hongmeng clan!" Yun Yao asked angrily, her voice echoing in this still space and time, revealing endless majesty.

A trace of panic flashed across the eyes of the Blood Demon Sect Leader, but it was soon covered by madness. He laughed loudly: "Yes, I am your uncle Yun Lie, one of the survivors. But do you think the Hongmeng Clan is really innocent? We just want to take back the authority of the Heavenly Dao that should belong to us! Thousands of years ago, the Hongmeng Clan relied on their control of the 'origin of time and space' to try to dominate the universe, but they attracted the wrath of the Heavenly Dao and were jointly besieged by the nine major cultivation realms. This is their own fault!"

Yun Yao was shocked when she heard this. She had never thought that there was such a truth behind the extermination of the Hongmeng Clan. But at this moment, she had no time to think about it, because the Blood Evil Sect Master took advantage of her distraction and suddenly attacked, shooting a beam of blood towards her forehead.

At this critical moment, Chu Mochen suddenly broke through the obstruction of the three hall masters and flew in front of Yun Yao. The power of the soul contract burst out instantly, and his body burst into a dazzling light, and he actually blocked all the attacks of the Blood Evil Sect Master.

"Chen, why are you..." Yun Yao's voice was choked with sobs, and her eyes were full of emotion and heartache.

Chu Mochen turned his head and looked at Yun Yao, a smile on his face: "I said, I will share half of your tribulation with you." After that, he ignored his injuries and stood side by side with Yun Yao again, looking firmly at the Blood Evil Sect Master, ready to face the more intense battle that was to come...

At this moment, there was a dead silence on the battlefield, only the howling wind could not blow away the thick smell of blood and the murderous aura. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen supported each other. Behind them were the angry but hopeful eyes of the Chu Mo family. On the opposite side, the Blood Evil Sect Master and the three hall masters had ferocious faces, as if they wanted to eat them alive. And the lightning of the Heavenly Punishment in the sky became more and more dazzling, as if counting down the end of this life-and-death battle. Everyone knew that this battle would determine the future direction of the entire cultivation world. Whether light would reappear or it would fall into darkness forever, it all depended on this thought...

Yun Yao tightened the Hongmeng Sword in her hand, feeling the warmth and strength from Chu Mochen, and her eyes became more determined. She knew that she was not only carrying the mission of reviving the Hongmeng Clan, but also the blood feud of the Chu Mo family, as well as the expectations of all those who supported and accompanied her along the way. No matter how many difficulties and obstacles there were ahead, she would never back down.

"Yun Lie, today is the day you die!" Yun Yao shouted angrily and took the lead. Her figure was as fast as lightning, and she instantly crossed the distance between her and the Blood Demon Sect Master. The Hongmeng Sword, wrapped with endless Hongmeng power and the power of time and space, slashed at the Blood Demon Sect Master fiercely. This sword gathered all her spiritual power, and the sword was as powerful as a rainbow, as if it could split the sky.

Seeing this, the Blood Evil Sect Master did not dare to underestimate it. He waved the Blood Evil Heavenly Stele with both hands and resisted with all his strength. The stele and the sword collided again, making a deafening sound. The violent energy ripples spread in all directions. Wherever they went, the space was shattered, like a broken mirror. The ground below was ravaged by this force and riddled with holes. Deep gullies crisscrossed, and huge rocks were blown to pieces, turning into dust flying all over the sky.

Chu Mochen took advantage of the Blood Evil Sect Master's moment of resisting Yun Yao's attack, and changed the spell in his hand, and a spiritual power thread shot towards the three hall masters. The thread instantly wrapped around the three hall masters, and he shouted: "Break it!" The spiritual power thread suddenly tightened, temporarily restraining the movements of the three hall masters. Then, he flashed and joined the battle with the Blood Evil Sect Master, fighting side by side with Yun Yao.

The couple cooperated well, one was the main attacker and the other was the assister, and for a while they suppressed the Blood Evil Sect Master and made him retreat step by step. Every time Yun Yao swung the Hongmeng Sword, it brought with it the vibration of space and the distortion of time, making the Blood Evil Sect Master unable to defend himself; while Chu Mochen relied on the unique spiritual power operation method of the Chu Mo family to constantly interfere with the Blood Evil Sect Master's attack rhythm and look for his flaws.

However, the Blood Evil Sect Master was very powerful after all, and he quickly stabilized his position. He was muttering something, and suddenly, a thick bloody aura gushed out from the Blood Evil Heavenly Monument, and the bloody aura condensed into a huge blood beast in the air, which bared its fangs and claws and pounced towards Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Wherever the blood beast passed, the space seemed to be corroded, and bursts of black smoke appeared.

Seeing this, Yun Yao's eyes condensed. She placed the Hongmeng Sword in front of her and shouted, "Time and space ban!" In an instant, with the Hongmeng Sword as the center, a space-time domain quickly unfolded, covering the blood beast. In this space-time domain, the flow of time became extremely slow, and the blood beast's movements seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, extremely slow.

"Chen, take advantage of now!" Yun Yao shouted.

Chu Mochen understood, and gathered the spiritual power in his hand to form a huge spiritual spear, with runes flashing on the spear. He shouted and threw it fiercely at the head of the blood beast. The spiritual spear came with a whistling sound and instantly penetrated the blood beast's head. The blood beast let out a scream, collapsed with a bang, and turned into a pool of blood that spilled on the ground.

Just as Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were preparing to pursue the victory, a huge lightning bolt suddenly descended from the sky and struck them directly. The lightning bolt was extremely fast and was approaching in the blink of an eye.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen's faces changed drastically. They had no time to dodge and had to join forces to resist. The two of them gathered their spiritual power together to form a shield to face the lightning.

The lightning collided with the shield, making a deafening sound, and the violent energy instantly knocked the two away. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen spit out blood in the air, their faces pale, and they were seriously injured.

Upon seeing this, the Blood Evil Sect Leader laughed out loud: "You can't escape today! Prepare to die!" After that, he controlled the Blood Evil Sky Stele and attacked Yun Yao and Chu Mochen again.

Yun Yao wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, her eyes revealing an unyielding light. She struggled to stand up, and clenched the Hongmeng Sword in her hand again: "Even if I risk my life, I will not let you succeed!"

Chu Mochen also forced himself to stand up. He walked to Yun Yao and held her hand: "We will live and die together."

In this desperate situation, Yun Yao suddenly had an idea. She remembered a combined attack technique that she had seen in the ancient books of the Hongmeng clan before, which might be useful at this time. She hurriedly passed the spell to Chu Mochen, and the two of them quickly formed seals and prepared to perform the combined attack technique.

When the Blood Evil Sect Leader saw the actions of the two, he felt uneasy, but at this moment the arrow was on the string and he had no way to retreat, so he had to bite the bullet and continue the attack.

When the Blood Evil Heavenly Stele was about to hit the top of their heads, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen shouted at the same time, and the spiritual power in their hands shone brightly, blending with each other to form a huge light wheel. The light wheel rotated towards the Blood Evil Heavenly Stele, and the two collided with each other, making a deafening sound.

This time, the violent energy did not knock the two away, but instead shocked the Blood Evil Sect Master and made him retreat again and again. The Blood Evil Sect Master showed a look of shock and disbelief on his face. He did not expect that Yun Yao and Chu Mochen could still perform such a powerful joint attack despite being seriously injured.

"How is this possible..." The Blood Evil Sect Leader muttered to himself.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen did not give the Blood Evil Sect Master a chance to breathe. They took advantage of the Blood Evil Sect Master's unstable footing and launched another attack. The two of them shuttled across the battlefield like ghosts, and the spiritual power in their hands continued to attack the Blood Evil Sect Master. For a while, they beat the Blood Evil Sect Master without any chance to fight back.

As the battle continued, the Blood Evil Sect Master's injuries became more and more serious, and his breath became weaker and weaker. He knew in his heart that he was doomed to fail in today's battle...
