Chapter 23 The Spiritual Source is Within Reach, Dangers Appear One After Another
The Shadow Wind's magic, like invisible spider silk, quietly enveloped the Spirit Aura.
Lingyun's originally clear eyes instantly became empty and dull, like a puppet being manipulated.
The next second, her slender palm, imbued with fierce spiritual power, attacked Dai Yao without mercy.
Dai Yao never expected this turn of events to happen so suddenly, nor did she expect the seemingly harmless Ling Yun to be so ruthless.
In the blink of an eye, she only had time to cry out in surprise before Lingyun struck her in the chest.
A mouthful of blood gushed out, and Dai Yao's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Seeing this, the people around not only did not offer any help, but instead showed expressions of schadenfreude.
Chi Yan sneered contemptuously, "With such meager skills, you dare to try and seize the spiritual source? You're simply courting death!" Shui Ling Ji didn't speak, but a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes.
Even the usually ferocious Shadow Wolf now showed a mocking look, as if it were enjoying a good show.
Dai Yao struggled to get up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with the back of her hand, and a fierce glint flashed in her eyes.
"Hmph, a bunch of opportunists who kick you when you're down. Just wait until I get my hands on you, you'll all be in for a surprise."
She's not some pushover!
Dai Yao took a deep breath, mobilized the magic power within her body, and unleashed a special magic technique—the Enchanting Heart Sutra.
This magical skill was something she acquired unexpectedly after transmigrating into the book. It can temporarily confuse the enemy's mind and can have a surprising effect at crucial moments.
Dai Yao quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, causing the surrounding air to distort and an eerie aura to spread.
Under the influence of the Enchanting Heart Sutra, Lingyun's attack movements became sluggish, and her eyes began to glaze over, as if she had fallen into an illusion.
Seizing the opportunity, Dai Yao leaped up from the ground and ran towards the Spirit Source once again.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!" Upon seeing this, Youyingfeng's face darkened, and he was about to intercept him.
Chi Yan and Shui Ling Ji exchanged knowing glances, their eyes darting around.
This little brat Dai Yao actually dared to steal their thunder! This is simply intolerable!
The two temporarily put aside their daily "love-hate" relationship and decided to join forces to "educate" this arrogant girl.
Chi Yan roared, "You little brat, don't even think about it!" He flipped his hands, and blazing flames roared out like a fire dragon, heading straight for Dai Yao.
Not to be outdone, Shui Lingji waved her slender hand, and a stream of water transformed into a towering wave, following closely behind the fire dragon, sweeping towards Dai Yao.
Water and fire combine, their power amplified; if this attack lands, Dai Yao will likely be roasted like a duck.
Upon seeing this commotion, Dai Yao thought to herself, "Wow, they're going all out!" She knew that she would definitely suffer if she confronted them head-on, so the best course of action was to retreat!
Dai Yao flashed forward, unleashing her self-created "Lingbo Weibu Plus Version." She conjured a whirlwind, sweeping up small stones and debris to form a small defensive barrier. Attacks that struck the barrier were deflected.
Then she vanished from the spot in an instant.
"boom!"
Chi Yan and Shui Ling Ji's attacks missed, but by sheer coincidence, they struck the Shadow Wolf that was following behind them.
The poor Shadow Wolf was just waiting to watch the show and maybe even pick up some scraps, but instead he suffered a loss.
It roared angrily, "Awoo! You two blind fools, how dare you hit me!" It bared its teeth and pounced on Chi Yan and Shui Ling Ji, and a melee broke out. The scene was so chaotic that it was more lively than a vegetable market.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Dai Yao secretly rejoiced, made a face at the fighting crowd, and then swaggered past them, continuing towards the Spirit Source.
Just as Dai Yao was about to reach the Spirit Source, a voice rang in her ear: "Miss, wait for me..." Dai Yao turned her head and saw that the person who came was actually Xing Mang from the Loose Cultivator Alliance.
Dude, could you please not make your entrance so... abruptly?
She almost thought that it was that treacherous and cunning guy, Youyingfeng, who had sent people to mess with her again.
Xingmang wore a worn but clean Taoist robe, a simple and honest smile on his face, but a shrewd glint in his eyes, making it hard to tell whether he was truly honest or just pretending. He scratched his head, his words slightly stuttering: "Well... um... young lady, I see you're quite skilled, and you don't seem like those wicked people. How about we team up?"
Dai Yao thought to herself, "Cooperate? What makes you think I'm not planning to stab you in the back?"
However, he still raised an eyebrow, giving off a "you better not lie to me" look, and said, "Cooperation? How so?"
Xingmang quickly explained, "I think that Youyingfeng is acting suspiciously and definitely has bad intentions. Why don't we join forces to take him down first, and then each of us can fight for the spiritual source based on our own abilities? What do you think?"
Dai Yao's heart stirred.
This suggestion is interesting.
She was just worrying about how to deal with Youyingfeng when Xingmang came knocking on her door—it was like a pillow being delivered to her just when she was about to fall asleep!
"Deal!" Dai Yao snapped her fingers, and a strategic partnership was reached with Starlight.
But in her heart she was thinking, "I'll use you for now. Once I get the spiritual source, we'll each have to rely on our own abilities."
The two exchanged a smile, as if they had recognized each other as people they could work with.
After exchanging information, they gained a deeper understanding of Lingyuan and became more confident.
However, Shadowwind is not easy to deal with.
As Dai Yao and Xing Mang drew closer, a chilling smile crept across his lips. He muttered to himself, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind... The show has only just begun." He slowly raised his hand, a wisp of black mist gathering at his fingertips...
