Chapter 155 Sudden Arrival of Help
"Little Ye, this is going to be good..." Ye Shuli's voice was low and dangerous, like the calm before a storm.
She slowly turned around, her eyes sharp as knives, carrying a hint of bloodthirsty excitement.
Jiang Ye immediately understood, and in a flash, he stood in front of Ye Shuli, his body tense, entering a fighting state.
Ye Shuli calmly crushed a specially made incense pill, and a faint smoke spread out. This incense pill was made by her using modern chemical knowledge and could simulate the aura of a divine artifact.
Outside the window, the old man with fiery eyes, who had been hiding behind a tree and observing furtively, became excited as soon as the aura wafted out.
His cloudy eyes instantly became bright and piercing, like a hungry wolf smelling meat, greedily inhaling the scent of the air.
"A divine artifact! It truly is a divine artifact!" The old man with fiery eyes trembled with excitement. He couldn't wait to rush in and snatch it, but he was worried that there might be an ambush inside, so he suppressed his impulse and continued to observe.
Ye Shuli's lips curled into a sly smile. This old fox had indeed taken the bait!
She secretly manipulated the aura emanating from the incense pill, guiding the old man with fiery eyes to move away from the research site.
As if bewitched, the old man with fiery eyes was lured step by step by the false aura. He moved forward cautiously, afraid of disturbing the "expert" inside.
Little did he know, all of this was under Ye Shuli's control.
As the old man with fiery eyes walked further and further away, Ye Shuli finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the old man hadn't realized it was a fake, otherwise it would have been another fierce battle.
"Sister Li, your 'luring the snake out of its hole' trick was brilliant! This old guy never expected to be completely fooled." Jiang Ye gave a thumbs up from the side, looking on with admiration.
Ye Shuli raised an eyebrow smugly. "To deal with this kind of old fox, you have to use some strategy. But..." Her words trailed off as she looked in another direction, a hint of unease flashing in her eyes, "...it seems there are other people..."
Ye Shuli had just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue studying the artifact when she discovered a mysterious seal around it.
The seal appeared out of nowhere, like an invisible wall, firmly locking the artifact inside.
A pale blue light flowed across the seal, pulsating as if it were alive, making it elusive and difficult to fathom.
"What...what is this?" Ye Shuli's eyes widened as she tried to touch the seal, but felt a sharp pain.
The seal seemed to have an invisible barrier on its surface; her finger was bounced back as soon as she touched it, and a feeling of anxiety and helplessness welled up in her heart.
"That's strange, I've never heard of this seal before?" Ye Shuli frowned, trying various methods, but to no avail.
She became increasingly agitated and even felt somewhat guilty, wondering how she couldn't even break a single seal.
Just then, a gentle voice sounded in her ear, with a hint of mystery: "Little girl, don't rush, the key to this seal lies in the heart."
Ye Shuli was startled and turned around abruptly, only to see a man dressed in white appear behind her at some point.
The white-robed sage's eyes were deep, as if he could see through everything. He wore a gentle smile, giving people a sense of inexplicable peace of mind.
"Who...who are you?" Ye Shuli asked warily, but found that she didn't feel much hostility.
“I am a wise man in this area, and I know a little about the artifact,” the white-robed sage said slowly. “The key to this seal lies in the heart. You must use a pure heart to feel it in order to find a way to break it.”
Ye Shuli nodded, though she was still somewhat skeptical, she decided to give it a try.
Following the white-robed sage's instructions, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and emptied her mind.
Gradually, she felt a warm light flowing through her heart, and it began to resonate with the light on the seal.
"Alright, give it a try," the wise man in white gently advised.
Ye Shuli opened her eyes, stretched out her hands, and gently touched the seal.
This time, she didn't feel any stinging pain. Instead, she felt the light on the seal soften and gradually dissipate.
The artifact finally revealed its true form, radiating light and exquisite beauty.
"Thank you, wise sage." Ye Shuli was filled with gratitude, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly felt an ominous atmosphere descend upon her.
"Sister Li, something bad has happened! Enemies are coming!" Jiang Ye's voice was urgent and tense. He quickly stood in front of Ye Shuli and scanned the surroundings warily.
Ye Shuli's heart tightened, and she immediately realized that this uninvited guest was probably up to no good.
She quickly adjusted her mindset and prepared to meet the upcoming challenge.
The Black Demon Cult Leader was no pushover. Hearing that the Fiery-Eyed Elder had been completely outmaneuvered by a little girl, he was furious. This was a direct slap in the face to him!
He decided to personally teach this arrogant Ye Shuli a lesson.
"boom--"
With a deafening roar, the Black Demon Lord made a powerful entrance, and an immense spiritual pressure instantly swept across the entire valley.
Sand and stones flew everywhere, trees snapped in half, and the ground trembled violently, as if the end of the world had arrived.
Ye Shuli felt a tightness in her chest, and a powerful force pushed her backward.
The surrounding rocks were instantly pulverized, and the air was filled with the strong smell of gunpowder.
"Is this all the skill you've got? You dare to mock my men?" The Black Demon Lord's voice boomed like thunder, deafeningly loud.
He was surrounded by black mist, like a demon god from hell, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
Ye Shuli gritted her teeth, enduring the pain in her body, and cursed inwardly: This old devil, he made such a big fuss as if he was afraid that others would not know he was here!
She quickly circulated her spiritual energy, mobilizing all her strength to prepare for the attack from the Black Demon Lord.
"Sister Li, be careful!" Jiang Ye shouted, rushing to Ye Shuli's side and blocking the Black Demon Cult Leader's attack.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, Jiang Ye was thrown back and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Although he was not as strong as the Black Demon Lord, he withstood the fatal blow thanks to his indomitable will and unique skills.
The girl in green, who was in the distance, covered her mouth when she saw this scene. Although she did not know Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye, she felt a little worried for them.
"Little Ye!" Ye Shuli's heart ached upon seeing this.
She never expected that Jiang Ye would risk his life to protect her.
She rushed to Jiang Ye's side, helped him up, and asked anxiously, "Are you alright? Are you okay?"
Jiang Ye forced a smile despite the pain: "Sister Li, I'm fine, I won't die..."
Seeing this, the Black Demon Lord couldn't help but sneer, "Overestimating yourself!" He raised his hand again, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Shuli.
At this critical moment, Ye Shuli's eyes suddenly turned sharp.
She held Jiang Ye's hand tightly and whispered, "Little Ye, believe me..." Ye Shuli helped Jiang Ye up, and the two of them leaned back to back, pressed close together.
A dangerous aura surrounded them, yet strangely, it drew them closer together.
Jiang Ye could feel Ye Shuli's rapid heartbeat and the faint fragrance emanating from her body, which inexplicably calmed his tense mood.
"Sister Li, are we going to die here today?" Jiang Ye joked, trying to make the best of a bad situation, with a trace of blood still hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Ye Shuli glared at him fiercely: "What are you saying, so discouraging! If you want to die, you have to take someone down with you!"
"Hehe, Sister Li is so cool!" Jiang Ye grinned.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
The tacit understanding between them seemed innate; they could understand each other's feelings without needing many words.
Even the green-clad girl and the white-clad sage who were watching were moved by the affection between them, and a strange feeling welled up in their hearts.
An ambiguous atmosphere filled the air, creating a strange contrast with the tense battle atmosphere.
Seeing that he could not succeed immediately, the Black Demon Lord became furious.
He roared to the sky, his voice sharp and piercing, like the wailing of a vengeful ghost, sending chills down one's spine.
"A bunch of useless trash! They can't even handle two people!"
The Black Demon Lord formed hand seals and chanted incantations. A powerful dark force surged from his body, transforming into countless black runes that swirled and danced in the air.
"Come out, my children! Enjoy this delicious soul!" The Dark Lord laughed maniacally, his voice filled with evil and cruelty.
As he finished speaking, the ground began to shake violently, and countless black cracks appeared on the ground, from which all sorts of strange and evil creatures poured out.
They had ferocious faces and let out nauseating roars, staring greedily at Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye as if they had spotted delicious prey.
These evil creatures ranged from giant spiders covered in spikes to winged skeleton warriors and ghostly black mist, each with its own unique and terrifying form.
They were so numerous and densely packed that they almost covered the entire valley.
Upon seeing this, Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye's expressions changed drastically.
They knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.
"Little Ye, are you ready?" Ye Shuli took a deep breath.
"Sister Li, bring it on! Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you today!" Jiang Ye gripped his weapon tightly, his eyes flashing with determination.
"Alright!" Ye Shuli laughed heartily, "Then let's fight side by side and carve a bloody path through!"
With unwavering resolve, the two faced the surging horde of evil creatures without fear...
"Wait a minute..." Ye Shuli suddenly said.
