Chapter 284 Ordinary Life
Without hesitation, Ye Jiuchen grabbed Dongfang Wan'er and rushed towards the gap. During the breakout, the power of the Demon Shadow Sword continued to erupt. At times, it transformed into a shield to block the enemy's hidden weapons; at other times, it released sharp sword energy to kill those who blocked its way.
However, as they moved further away from the center of the ancient battlefield, the power of the Demon Shadow Sword seemed to be restrained, becoming unstable. Large beads of sweat appeared on Dongfang Wan'er's forehead. She knew they had to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible; otherwise, if the Demon Shadow Sword went out of control, they would be in dire straits. So, she gritted her teeth, continuously channeling her inner energy into the Demon Shadow Sword, and, supporting each other, fled towards the edge of the ancient battlefield.
While they were still reeling from the shock, the light faded, and the surrounding enemies swarmed forward once more. Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er gripped their weapons tightly, determined to fight their way out with the Demon Shadow Sword. Whether they could successfully break through and unravel the mysteries of the palace case with the Demon Shadow Sword remained to be seen.
With the help of the Demon Shadow Sword, Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er raced towards the edge of the ancient battlefield. However, the instability of the Demon Shadow Sword made their situation increasingly difficult, with enemies relentlessly pursuing them, their battle cries deafening.
Just as they were about to give up, Dongfang Wan'er suddenly noticed a strange pattern on the hilt of the Demon Shadow Sword, resembling some kind of ancient mechanism. Without time to think, she concentrated her inner strength at her fingertips and, following the technique from her family's ancient texts, lightly touched the pattern. Instantly, the Demon Shadow Sword shone brightly, and a powerful and pure force surged forth, enveloping them and transforming them into streaks of light that flew forward.
This power was beyond imagination; the enemy's attacks were all deflected, and their speed increased dramatically. However, this power was consumed extremely quickly, and Dongfang Wan'er's face grew increasingly pale. Seeing this, Ye Jiuchen transferred his inner energy to her, attempting to maintain the burst of power from the Demon Shadow Sword.
Just as they were about to break through the ancient battlefield, a mysterious barrier of light blocked their way. This barrier seemed to be a seal on the ancient battlefield, indestructible. The power of the Demon Shadow Sword struck the barrier, creating ripples, but it couldn't break through. At this moment, the pursuers arrived, surrounding them completely. Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er stood back to back, gripping their weapons tightly, preparing for the final battle. The Demon Shadow Sword trembled slightly in Dongfang Wan'er's hand, seemingly gathering its last bit of power. Whether they could escape this desperate situation and successfully break through hung by a thread.
Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er were trapped in front of the light barrier at the edge of the ancient battlefield, the encirclement of enemies shrinking ever smaller. Dongfang Wan'er took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and completely immersed her consciousness into the Demon Shadow Sword, attempting to communicate with the weapon spirit within. After a moment, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her body trembled slightly.
Ye Jiuchen held her hand tightly, continuously channeling his inner energy into her, giving her support and strength. Suddenly, Dongfang Wan'er opened her eyes, a resolute glint in them. She wielded the Demon Shadow Sword with both hands, drawing complex sword marks in the air, chanting incantations—an ancient and obscure spell she had obtained while communicating with the Demon Shadow Sword's spirit.
As the incantation was chanted, the Demon Shadow Sword began to tremble violently, emitting a series of buzzing sounds. The black energy that had been swirling around the sword rapidly converged, forming a massive black vortex. From within the vortex, faint roars could be heard, as if an ancient behemoth was about to awaken.
Dongfang Wan'er roared and stabbed the Demon Shadow Sword fiercely into the light barrier. The moment the black vortex made contact with the light barrier, it erupted with dazzling light and a powerful energy surge. The enemies were thrown about by the energy surge, and the encirclement was briefly thrown into chaos. Ye Jiuchen seized the opportunity to strike with his sword, killing the approaching enemies and buying time for Dongfang Wan'er.
As the Shadow Sword and the light barrier remained locked in a stalemate, Dongfang Wan'er bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the Shadow Sword. The Shadow Sword seemed to receive a powerful boost; the black vortex spun rapidly, its power increasing dramatically. Finally, under the impact of this immense force, a tiny crack appeared in the light barrier.
Without hesitation, Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er concentrated the power of the Demon Shadow Sword into a single point and charged towards the crack. With a deafening roar, they successfully broke through the seal of the ancient battlefield, transforming into streaks of light and disappearing into the distance. However, Dongfang Wan'er, having overused her power, was swaying precariously. Ye Jiuchen quickly supported her and carried her to safety, but their path ahead remained fraught with unknowns and challenges.
After escaping the ancient battlefield with the weakened Dongfang Wan'er, Ye Jiuchen rested temporarily in a secluded valley. Under Ye Jiuchen's care, Dongfang Wan'er gradually recovered her strength; however, their crisis was far from over.
One day, as they prepared to continue their investigation into the palace secrets, a woman dressed in magnificent robes and possessing an elegant demeanor suddenly appeared before them. Her eyes were cold, yet a playful smile played on her lips. She claimed to be an envoy from one of the forces behind the palace secrets, and that she had come to reclaim the Demon Shadow Sword.
Ye Jiuchen warily drew his sword, shielding Dongfang Wan'er behind him. Seeing this, the woman waved her hand lightly, and instantly a group of well-trained warriors appeared behind her. These warriors, clad in black armor, moved in perfect unison, their strength evident at a glance. A battle erupted instantly, Ye Jiuchen engaging the warriors in fierce combat. Although his swordsmanship was exquisite, the warriors' seamless coordination made it difficult for him to gain the upper hand.
At the same time, Dongfang Wan'er sensed an invisible force approaching stealthily. She realized the woman was casting a mysterious spell, intending to launch a sneak attack. Dongfang Wan'er quickly focused her energy, using her medical skills and internal strength to set up a defensive barrier around herself.
However, the woman's magic was extremely powerful, and the defensive barrier teetered precariously under her attacks. Dongfang Wan'er knew that if they didn't take the initiative, they would be doomed. So, she mustered her strength, wielding the Demon Shadow Sword, and charged towards the woman. Sensing Dongfang Wan'er's determination, the Demon Shadow Sword once again emitted a powerful aura, colliding with the woman's magic and triggering a strong energy fluctuation that shook the entire valley.
At this critical moment, Ye Jiuchen broke through the warriors' defenses and flew to Dongfang Wan'er's side. They fought side by side, locked in a stalemate with the woman and the warriors. But as the battle continued, more enemies arrived from all directions, and they gradually found themselves surrounded.
Ye Jiuchen and Dongfang Wan'er stood back to back, surrounded by numerous enemies, their situation extremely precarious. Yet, there was no fear in their eyes; after exchanging a glance, they understood each other perfectly.
Ye Jiuchen took the initiative, unleashing a set of his family's secret sword techniques. His sword shadows flashed like stars as he charged toward his enemy with unstoppable momentum.
