Chapter 119 Amidst Four Perils, Seeking a Way Out
Deep within the sealed land of the demonic crystal, a chilling wind howled past their ears, like the wailing of demons. These gusts of wind carried surging demonic energy, almost tangible, threatening to engulf them. Dai Yao's figure flickered in and out of existence amidst the shimmering demonic shadows, like a small boat in a raging storm, seemingly on the verge of being swallowed by the surging demonic energy.
"What the hell?! What kind of special treatment is this? So many minions coming to deal with me alone?" Dai Yao complained as she nimbly dodged the attacks of the demonic shadows. She could clearly feel the chilling pressure emanating from the approaching shadows, like countless icy tentacles crawling all over her body. These shadows were like a persistent, vengeful pest, relentlessly pursuing her and leaving her exhausted.
The Guardian of the Magic Crystal, a demonic cultivator exuding an evil aura, stood high above, his cold gaze like two sharp swords piercing Dai Yao. A cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth, a smile like a ghostly light in the night, revealing endless malice.
"You overconfident brat, just obediently prepare to die!"
Dai Yao gritted her teeth and brandished her spirit sword. The sword flashed, scattering the approaching demonic shadows one by one. With each swing, she could feel a slight tremor from the hilt—the aftershock of colliding with the demonic shadows. But she knew in her heart that this couldn't continue; her spiritual power would eventually be exhausted.
Just then, Dai Yao's cheat ability quietly activated. She sensed that the fortunes of these demonic shadows were all connected to the guardian of the magic crystal, like thin threads continuously providing it with power. A sudden flash of inspiration struck Dai Yao; records of interconnected fortunes she had read in ancient texts resurfaced. Her gaze shifted from confusion to determination, as if she had found a glimmer of light in the darkness. She thought to herself, 'This is the key to breaking the deadlock! Today, I will make you demonic shadows taste my power!'
She no longer blindly attacked all the demonic shadows, but concentrated her power on one of them. Her sword flashed like a rainbow, instantly severing the thread of fate connecting the demonic shadow and the guardian of the magic crystal. The demonic shadow let out a shrill scream, its voice as sharp as a needle piercing an eardrum, before dissipating into a wisp of black smoke. The other demonic shadows were also affected, experiencing a brief period of chaos, as if they had lost their leader.
Seizing the opportunity, Dai Yao took a deep breath, the icy air filling her lungs. She adjusted her breathing, preparing to launch another attack. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her back, like a cold snake crawling across it. She whirled around and saw a dark figure silently approaching…
"Who?!" "Who?!" Dai Yao shouted sharply, brandishing her spirit sword with the tip pointing directly at the dark figure behind her.
The shadowy figure gradually revealed itself in the dim light, revealing itself to be the mysterious person who had been inseparable from her.
"It's me." The mysterious figure said calmly, seemingly unsurprised by Dai Yao's reaction.
Dai Yao breathed a sigh of relief, sheathed her spirit sword, and glared at him irritably: "You scared me to death! Don't you make any noise when you walk? Don't you know that scaring someone can be deadly!"
The mysterious figure ignored Dai Yao's complaints and instead turned his gaze to the magic crystal guardian not far away, saying in a deep voice, "Be careful, that guy is not easy to deal with."
"Nonsense!" Dai Yao rolled her eyes. "I saw through it a long time ago! If I hadn't reacted quickly, he would have turned me into a kebab!"
As they spoke, the magic crystal guardian closed in again, condensing a ball of black energy in its hand and hurling it fiercely at Dai Yao.
"Little girl, suffer death!"
Dai Yao didn't dare to be careless and quickly dodged, while simultaneously summoning several talismans and throwing them at the magic crystal guardian.
"Boom! Boom!" The talisman exploded, sparks flying everywhere. The sound of the explosion made our ears ring and the intense light stung our eyes, temporarily forcing back the magic crystal guardian.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dai Yao quickly approached the flaw in the magic crystal seal. This flaw was located at the center of the seal and emitted a faint light, which was like a glimmer of hope in the darkness, as if it were the weak point of the entire seal.
"Found it!" Dai Yao was overjoyed and was about to reach out to touch the flaw when she suddenly felt a powerful pressure coming down on her, like a mountain pressing down on her. She looked up and saw that the Magic Crystal Guardian had rushed in front of her again, its eyes flashing with a fierce light, its gaze seemingly capable of devouring a person.
"Don't even think about it!" the Magic Crystal Guardian roared, the black energy in his hand condensing once more into a black blade, which he slashed down fiercely at Dai Yao. Where the blade passed, the surrounding air seemed to be torn apart, emitting a piercing whistling sound, as unbearable as fingernails scraping a blackboard. Dai Yao dodged, a boulder behind her struck by the residual force of the blade, instantly turning to dust, the rising dust filling the air with a choking stench. But she was still affected by the blade's residual force, a small wound appearing on her body, a sharp pain shooting through her.
"Hiss—" Dai Yao gasped. The attack power of this magic crystal guardian was indeed not to be underestimated.
Meanwhile, the immortal sect deacon in the distance also saw Dai Yao's actions, and his face immediately turned gloomy, like the dark clouds before a storm. Xingchen, standing nearby, seized the opportunity to add fuel to the fire: "Deacon, look! This Dai Yao is indeed colluding with demonic cultivators. She must be trying to break the seal on the demonic crystal and release the evil spirits inside!"
A cold glint flashed in the eyes of the sect's steward, who said in a chilling voice, "Men, seize Dai Yao!"
"What the hell?!" Dai Yao was on the verge of tears; she was truly in a situation she couldn't explain away no matter what she did!
While dodging the attacks of the magic crystal guardians, she also had to guard against the encirclement of immortal sect disciples, making her feel like she was attacked from both sides. At the command of the immortal sect deacon, the surrounding disciples quickly surrounded her. Their eyes were filled with doubt and vigilance; some disciples gripped their magical weapons tightly, ready to attack at any moment. Xingchen fanned the flames from the sidelines, a smug smile on his face, while the other disciples whispered among themselves, speculating whether Dai Yao was truly colluding with demonic cultivators.
Just as the Crystal Guardian thought Dai Yao couldn't break through his blockade, the mysterious figure flashed and silently appeared beside her. His eyes held a resolute determination mixed with a barely perceptible tenderness. He gently patted Dai Yao's shoulder and said, "I'll help you..." Just as the Crystal Guardian thought Dai Yao couldn't overcome his blockade, she suddenly spun around, her hands rapidly forming hand seals, chanting incantations. She mobilized all her spiritual power, a powerful force gathering at her fingertips. With a shout, she cried out, "Demon-Breaking Finger!" A dazzling golden light, like a blazing sun, burst forth from her fingertips, containing earth-shattering power, striking the Crystal Guardian precisely.
"Awooo—" The magic crystal guardian let out a miserable cry, flying backward as if hit by a cannonball, crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust that was clearly visible.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Dai Yao flew lightly to the flaw in the magic crystal seal. She could feel the wind whistling past her ears, her body as light as a feather.
Upon seeing this, the mysterious figure flashed to Dai Yao's side and whispered, "Yao Yao, be careful!" His appearance was like a stabilizing force, instantly calming Dai Yao's previously flustered heart.
The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
Dai Yao took a deep breath and slowly reached out her hand towards the flaw that was emitting a faint light. Just as her fingertips were about to touch the flaw, a powerful suction force pulled her inward, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her.
Dai Yao was startled and instinctively grabbed the mysterious figure's hand.
"Hold on tight!" The mysterious figure said firmly, gripping Dai Yao's hand tightly with his other hand. The two were sucked into the opening and disappeared from the spot.
When the immortal sect deacons and Xingchen and the others arrived, they only saw the empty sealed land and the unconscious magic crystal guardian on the ground.
A sinister glint flashed in Xingchen's eyes, and a strange smile curled at the corner of his lips: "Dai Yao, do you think you can escape like this? The game has only just begun..."
The sect's deacon frowned as he looked at the scene before him, muttering to himself, "What on earth is going on..."
Suddenly, as if sensing something, he abruptly looked up into the distance, his expression changing drastically: "Not good!"
After Dai Yao and the mysterious figure were sucked into the flaw, the scene before them changed abruptly. The originally dark sealed land disappeared, replaced by a dazzling starry river, as if they were in the universe. Countless stars twinkled with dazzling light, their light as brilliant as diamonds, magnificent and fantastical, leaving people in awe.
"Wow, what an amazing place! It's better than any 5A-level scenic spot I've ever seen!" Dai Yao couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes wide as if she wanted to take in the whole starry sky. She could feel the slight warmth of the starlight on her face.
The mysterious figure chuckled and ruffled her hair: "Don't get too excited, this isn't a tourist attraction."
As soon as the words were spoken, the surrounding stars suddenly began to shake violently, and the once beautiful Milky Way instantly turned menacing. Stars hurtled towards them like cannonballs, moving at an astonishing speed, whistling through the air.
"Wow! This is changing way too fast!" Dai Yao complained as she nimbly dodged the incoming stars. She could feel the oppressive aura emanating from the approaching stars, as if death itself was closing in.
The mysterious figure was equally formidable, moving through the galaxy like a ghost, deflecting the incoming stars one by one.
The two stood back to back, perfectly coordinated to fend off the sudden attack.
While dodging, Dai Yao couldn't help but tease, "I say, is this some kind of tribulation we're undergoing? This is even more exciting than my college entrance exam!"
The mysterious figure shook his head helplessly: "You still have the mind to joke around? Think about how to get out of here first!"
Dai Yao curled her lip: "Get out? Easier said than done! There isn't even an exit sign in this place, which way are we supposed to go?"
Just as the two were at their wits' end, Dai Yao suddenly felt a powerful suction force coming from beneath her feet, like a giant vortex spinning around her. Looking down, she saw a huge vortex spinning wildly beneath her feet, as if it were about to swallow them up.
"Not good!" Dai Yao's expression changed, and she hurriedly grabbed the mysterious figure's hand. "Let's go!"
However, it was all too late. The immense suction held them firmly in place, and the two of them, like kites with broken strings, were swept into the vortex and disappeared without a trace.
"Yao Yao!" From the depths of the vortex came the anxious cry of a mysterious figure.
Dai Yao felt a sudden dizziness, her vision went dark, and her body felt like it was being pulled into a giant blender, losing its balance.
She didn't know how much time had passed before she slowly opened her eyes.
What came into view was a strange and eerie scene...
She found herself standing in the center of a huge array, its patterns intricate and mysterious, emitting a faint golden light that was somewhat dazzling.
"Where is this place..." Dai Yao murmured to herself, reaching out to touch the patterns on the array.
"Don't move!" A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Dai Yao turned around abruptly and saw a figure dressed in a black robe, with his face hidden under a hood, appear behind her at some point.
The figure slowly raised its hand, pointing to a stone tablet in the center of the formation, its tone icy: "You touched something you shouldn't have..."
