Chapter 181 The Battle Between Immortals and Demons, Yao Nu's Turning Point
"Yao'er!" The mysterious figure swung his sword to block the assassin's attack, the clash of swords producing a piercing sound.
Dai Yao reacted extremely quickly, dodging the attack by sidestepping and then striking back with a palm strike to repel the assassin.
The assassin grunted, then vanished into the night in a flash.
"Damn it, they actually resorted to underhanded tactics!" Dai Yao gritted her teeth.
The great war between immortals and demons has broken out!
The shouts of battle shook the heavens and the earth, and the collision of spiritual energy stirred up layers of air waves.
Although the disciples of the Demon Palace were brave, they gradually lost ground against the overwhelming force of the combined forces of immortals and demons.
Holding a long sword, Dai Yao was like a god of war descending to earth; with flashes of sword light, enemies fell one after another.
However, no matter how strong she is, she cannot fight against a hundred people alone.
"This won't do, we have to find a way to break this deadlock!" Dai Yao thought rapidly as she wielded her sword.
"Yao'er, let's retreat! As long as we're alive, we can always rebuild!" the mysterious figure shouted anxiously.
"Retreat? Where to retreat to?" Dai Yao smiled bitterly. "The Immortal-Demon Alliance has blocked all escape routes. We are now trapped like turtles in a jar!" Blood stained her clothes, but it only added to her heroic spirit.
"Rather than sit and wait to die, let's take a gamble!" A resolute glint flashed in Dai Yao's eyes as she looked at the mysterious figure. "Follow me!"
Dai Yao led the remaining elite troops like a sharp knife, tearing a bloody path straight towards the ancient battlefield ruins.
"This ruin is full of traps, everyone be careful!" Dai Yao warned.
Upon entering the ruins, the group discovered that the dangers inside far exceeded their expectations.
Poisoned arrows, hidden weapons, and traps are everywhere; one wrong move and you could lose your life.
"This way!" Dai Yao seemed to foresee danger, leading the group through the maze-like ruins, always managing to escape unscathed.
The soldiers who followed Dai Yao were amazed by her judgment. "Palace Master is truly a genius!" "Following Palace Master is the right thing to do!"
Deep within the ruins, a powerful aura swept over, suffocating everyone present.
"Looks like there's something good..." Dai Yao's lips curled up slightly as she gripped the sword in her hand.
"Who dares to trespass on my territory!" A furious roar echoed throughout the ruins, deafeningly loud.
Deep within the ruins, smoke and dust filled the air.
After a roar, a gigantic ancient beast appeared before everyone. Its body radiated golden light, and its eyes burned like flames. It was the guardian of the ruins.
"Goodness, this BOSS doesn't look like someone to mess with!" Dai Yao thought to herself, but showed no fear on her face.
The guardian brandished its enormous claws and launched a fierce attack on Dai Yao and the others.
"Boom!" A loud noise shook the ground violently, and debris flew everywhere.
Dai Yao and the others quickly dodged, narrowly avoiding being hit.
"Holy crap, that attack power is insane!" Dai Yao dodged while directing the others to counterattack.
The mysterious figures and the demon palace warriors also unleashed their magical weapons, engaging in fierce battles with the guardians.
Amidst the clash of swords and the swirling of spiritual energy, the entire ruins echoed with the roar of battle.
The battle lasted a long time, and both sides were badly wounded.
Although Dai Yao could sense the flow of Qi, she felt powerless in the face of such a powerful opponent.
"We need to think of a way; this head-on confrontation isn't going to work!" Dai Yao dodged the guardian's attacks while observing its weaknesses.
Suddenly, Dai Yao noticed that after each attack, the guardian would pause briefly, and that one of its scales on its abdomen was a slightly different color.
"Could this be its weakness?" A thought struck Dai Yao, and she decided to take the risk.
"Everyone, focus your attack on its abdomen!" Dai Yao shouted, and took the lead in attacking the guardian's abdomen.
The mysterious figure and the demon palace warriors understood each other perfectly and focused their attacks on the guardian's abdomen.
Sure enough, the guardian's abdomen was its weak point.
Under the fierce attack of the crowd, the guardian let out a painful howl and its huge body crashed to the ground.
"We won!" the crowd cheered.
A treasure chest appeared where the guardian fell.
Dai Yao stepped forward, opened the treasure chest, and inside was a bead that emitted a dazzling light—the legendary "Qian Yuan Bead".
Dai Yao picked up the Qian Yuan Pearl, and a powerful force surged into her body. She felt her cultivation level rapidly improving, instantly breaking through the bottleneck and reaching a new realm.
A powerful aura emanated from her, inspiring awe in those around her.
Dai Yao clenched her fist, feeling the surging power within her, and a confident smile appeared on her lips.
“Now, it’s our turn to fight back…” She raised her head, her gaze resolute as she looked towards the exit of the ruins, and slowly said, “Let’s go, let’s go out and meet them.” Just then, an unusual fluctuation emanated from the Qian Yuan Pearl…
Outside the ruins, the allied forces of immortals and demons stood like two giant pythons facing each other, the atmosphere tense and ready to ignite the entire battlefield at the slightest spark.
The Immortal Cube Commander had an air of otherworldly elegance, yet his eyes were icy cold, while the Demon Cube Commander exuded a murderous aura, looking as if he wanted to devour people.
Both sides were waiting, waiting for Dai Yao and the others to come out, waiting to seize the legendary treasure. As for the casualties of the war, who cared?
Anyway, it wasn't them who died.
As Dai Yao and her group emerged from the ruins, they were all taken aback by the scene of carnage.
"Goodness, this is going to be a big deal!" Dai Yao muttered under her breath.
The Qian Yuan Pearl in her hand was slightly warm, as if responding to her current mood.
"Hand over the treasure, and I'll spare your lives!" Commander Xianfang shouted, looking righteous and awe-inspiring.
"Ha, you think you can take me? Dream on!" The Cube Commander retorted, his tone extremely arrogant.
"Tsk tsk tsk, you two big shots, so hot-tempered, aren't you afraid of going berserk?" Dai Yao walked forward with a grin, looking completely carefree.
Just as tensions were running high and it seemed like they were about to start fighting again, Dai Yao suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of a plan.
“Perhaps… we can try this.” She took a deep breath, a resolute glint in her eyes.
Everyone saw her slowly raise the Qian Yuan Pearl, which emitted a dazzling light that illuminated the entire battlefield.
A powerful force emanated from Dai Yao; this force was not offensive, but rather a kind of…
化？
"What is she trying to do?!" The allied forces of immortals and demons were stunned, not understanding what Dai Yao was up to.
Dai Yao closed her eyes and chanted incantations. The light of the Qian Yuan Pearl grew brighter and brighter, eventually transforming into a pillar of light that shot into the sky.
A strange energy fluctuation spread out, enveloping the entire battlefield.
The soldiers of the Immortal-Demon Alliance laid down their weapons, the hatred and killing intent in their eyes gradually fading, replaced by a sense of confusion and...
静？
Even the Celestial Cube Commander and the Magic Cube Commander were affected by this power. They stood there blankly, as if they had lost the ability to think.
"It's done?" Dai Yao opened her eyes, a slight smile appearing on her lips, but her face was unusually pale.
The Qian Yuan Pearl in her hand had dimmed, as if it had lost all its energy.
Just when everyone thought it was all over, Dai Yao suddenly swayed and knelt down on one knee.
The mysterious figure immediately rushed forward, supported her, and asked anxiously, "Yao'er, what's wrong?"
Dai Yao shook her head weakly, forcing a smile, and looked at the Qian Yuan Pearl in her hand, saying softly, "It seems... I've gone too far..."
The light of the Qian Yuan Pearl went out completely, and the once noisy battlefield was now completely silent, with only the howling wind as if mourning the catastrophe that had almost occurred.
Dai Yao knelt on one knee, her face as pale as paper, large beads of sweat sliding down her forehead and dripping onto the blood-stained ground.
The Qian Yuan Pearl in her hand, which was originally radiant, was now dull and lifeless, like an ordinary stone.
"Yao'er!" The mysterious figure supported Dai Yao, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with heartache and worry.
The call rang in Dai Yao's ears like a thunderclap. She struggled to lift her head and gave him a weak smile: "It's nothing, just... a little kidney deficiency."
The commanders of the immortal and demon armies finally snapped out of their daze and, looking at the bizarre scene before them, were momentarily at a loss for how to react.
The traitorous ally's expression changed drastically. He had originally thought he could reap the benefits without lifting a finger, but Dai Yao had pulled this stunt, and his plan had completely fallen through.
He glared fiercely at Dai Yao, then turned to run away, but was struck by the mysterious figure and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" the mysterious figure said coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Dai Yao weakly waved her hand: "Never mind, let him go. There are more important things to do now." She looked towards the direction of the medical camp in the distance, where many wounded people were gathered, waiting for treatment.
"Let's go check on the wounded first."
The little boy had been clutching Dai Yao's clothes tightly, and seeing her so weak, his face was full of worry.
He reached out his little hand and gently stroked Dai Yao's cheek, asking in a childish voice, "Sister, does it hurt?"
Dai Yao felt a warmth in her heart and forced a smile: "Sister is fine, don't worry."
Just then, the guardian of the ruins slowly walked over, its enormous body casting a shadow in front of everyone.
It looked at the weakened Dai Yao, a complex emotion flashing in its eyes, which finally turned into a sigh: "You... are very good. This is what you deserve." It opened its huge mouth and spat out a bead that emitted a soft light, which slowly floated towards Dai Yao.
"What is this...?" Dai Yao looked at the bead with a puzzled expression.
“This is the Pearl of Life, which can help you restore your strength,” the guardian of the ruins said. “However, it will also take time.”
Dai Yao received the Pearl of Life, feeling the powerful life force contained within it, and her heart was filled with hope.
She looked at the mysterious figure, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you for always being by my side."
The mysterious figure smiled gently: "Silly girl, don't thank me. I..." He paused, gazing at Dai Yao with deep affection, hesitant to speak.
Dai Yao gripped the Pearl of Life tightly, feeling the warmth it emanated, and a strange flutter welled up in her heart.
She looked up, about to speak, when suddenly she felt a wave of dizziness wash over her...
"Yao'er!"
"elder sister!"
"Yao'er, wake up!" A familiar voice rang in her ears, and Dai Yao slowly opened her eyes, only to see an anxious face.
"What... is wrong with me?" Dai Yao felt weak all over, as if she had been drained of all her energy.
The mysterious figure held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with worry: "You...you've been unconscious for three days and three nights!" His voice trembled, as if suppressing immense fear.
Three days and three nights... Dai Yao was startled. It seemed that she had... missed something?
"What's the situation now?" Dai Yao asked anxiously.
The mysterious figure's expression suddenly turned solemn. He took a deep breath and slowly said, "Yao'er, listen to me..." He paused, his tone heavy, "The realms of immortals and demons... have gone to war again!"
