The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 211: Attacked on the Way Home

On the way back to the sect, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were in a relaxed mood. Although this mission was difficult and dangerous, they not only successfully obtained the spirit pearl, but also significantly improved their feelings and strength. Yun Yao carefully put away the spirit pearl and walked side by side with Chu Mochen along the winding mountain road. They were surrounded by lush forests, and the sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of light.

"This time when we go back, we will definitely make those guys in the sect look at us with new eyes." Yun Yao said with a proud smile on her face.

Chu Mochen nodded slightly, with a hint of relief in his eyes: "The spiritual power of this spirit pearl is extremely pure, it will surely be of great help to the development of the sect, and it will be worth our hard fight in that valley."

As the two were talking, the atmosphere around them suddenly became solemn. In the originally quiet woods, there was a faint rustling sound, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in the dark. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were instantly alert, stopped, and their eyes met, and they both saw vigilance in each other's eyes.

"It seems that someone doesn't want us to complete the mission successfully." Yun Yao said coldly. Her hand unconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword at her waist, and the spiritual power in her body began to circulate slowly, so that she could be ready to deal with emergencies at any time.

Chu Mochen looked at the surrounding woods vigilantly, holding the staff that emitted a faint light tightly in his hand, and whispered: "Here comes with bad intentions, be careful."

At the moment the words fell, a group of men in black emerged from all directions like ghosts, instantly surrounding Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. They moved quickly and in unison, and it was obvious that they had planned it in advance. These men in black were wrapped in black tights, with only a pair of cold eyes on their faces, exuding a chilling aura.

The man in black launched the attack without saying a word. All of a sudden, all kinds of weapons and spells attacked Yun Yao and Chu Mochen like a violent storm. There were arrows with black flames, piercing the air with sharp whistles; there were sharp blades emitting dim light, drawing strange arcs in the air; there were also black spiritual beams, slashing down like black lightning.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen quickly stood back to back, forming a defensive posture. Yun Yao took a deep breath and displayed flexible sword skills. Her figure was like a white lightning, quickly shuttling through the crowd of black-clad people. The long sword in her hand flashed with cold light, and every swing of the sword brought with it a sharp sword energy, accurately repelling the approaching enemies. Sometimes she turned sideways to avoid attacks, and sometimes she turned her body, and the sword moved with her, forming a sword curtain, blocking those close weapons one after another.

Chu Mochen cast a powerful spell. He chanted something and waved his staff. A golden spiritual light shot out from the top of the staff and exploded in the crowd of black-clothed people. Wherever the light reached, the black-clothed people were knocked down by the powerful spiritual power, temporarily suppressing the enemy's offensive. However, the number of black-clothed people was large, and they did not seem to be afraid of casualties, and continued to attack one after another.

Yun Yao discovered during the battle that the black-clad men cooperated very well. Their attacks were well-organized and they seemed to have been specially trained. Some of the black-clad men were responsible for frontal attacks, some were harassing from the sides, and some were casting spells for long-range attacks from a distance, forming a tight attack network. She suddenly realized that she had to find the commander of the black-clad men to break the deadlock. So, while fighting, she began to search for possible commanders in the crowd through the system.

As time went by, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen gradually became exhausted. Although they fought hard, the attacks of the man in black continued and became more and more fierce. Fine beads of sweat oozed out of Yun Yao's forehead, and her breathing became rapid. Although her swordsmanship was sharp, the long battle gradually consumed her physical strength. Chu Mochen's situation was not optimistic either. He kept casting powerful spells, which consumed a lot of spiritual power in his body, and his face was slightly pale.

Just when Yun Yao felt a little overwhelmed, she suddenly spotted a suspicious figure. Behind the crowd, there was a man in black who looked particularly different. He did not directly participate in the attack, but held a flag in his hand, waving it constantly, directing the actions of the men in black. Every time the flag was waved, the rhythm and direction of the men in black's attack would change.

Yun Yao was delighted and immediately told Chu Mochen about this discovery through the system: "Brother Chu, I found the commander of the men in black, the one holding the flag behind the crowd."

After Chu Mochen got the news, his eyes condensed: "Okay, let's concentrate our forces to attack him first. As long as we disrupt their command, we will have a chance to break through."

The two looked at each other and nodded firmly. They began to adjust their tactics, no longer blindly resisting the attacks of the men in black, but looking for opportunities to break out in the direction of the commander. Yun Yao performed a set of sharp sword moves, and the sword shadows bloomed like flowers, temporarily forcing back the enemies in front. Then, she tapped the ground with her toes and flew towards the enemies on the side like a flying bird, trying to tear open a breakthrough.

Chu Mochen was behind her, casting a powerful spiritual shield to protect Yun Yao's back, and at the same time waving the staff in his hand again, a golden spiritual beam shot towards the distant enemy, clearing the way for Yun Yao. With their cooperation, they gradually approached the commander.

However, the men in black also noticed their intentions, and the commander quickly waved the flag, and the men in black began to concentrate their strength to stop Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. More attacks came towards them, and Yun Yao and Chu Mochen faced tremendous pressure.

Yun Yao gritted her teeth. She knew she couldn't retreat at this moment. She mobilized all the remaining spiritual power in her body and used a powerful sword technique rewarded by the system - "Wind-breaking Sword Technique". Her figure instantly turned into several phantoms, and the long sword in her hand was like a silver dragon, rushing through the crowd of people in black. Each sword carried a powerful force and sharp sword energy. Wherever it went, the people in black were repelled.

Chu Mochen also used his best spell - "Stars Shining in the World". He raised his staff high, and countless twinkling stars appeared in the sky. These stars gathered into a powerful spiritual power torrent, pouring down towards the black-clothed people. This powerful force instantly broke through the black-clothed people's defense line.

Yun Yao took the opportunity to speed up and rushed towards the commander like an arrow. When approaching the commander, the men in black formed the last line of defense to try to protect the commander. A trace of determination flashed in Yun Yao's eyes, and she performed the last move of the "Wind-breaking Sword Technique" - "Wind Sweeping the Remnant Clouds". Her body was seen spinning at high speed in the air, and the long sword brought a powerful whirlwind force, which swept all the men in black in front of her into it and knocked them away one after another.

At the same time, Chu Mochen also rushed to Yun Yao's side. He waved the staff in his hand, and a powerful sealing spell shot towards the commander. The commander tried to dodge, but it was too late. The spell trapped him instantly, and his body was covered by a layer of golden spiritual light, unable to move.

Without the command of the commander, the black-clad men were in chaos. Their attacks became disorganized and each fought on its own. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen took the opportunity to launch the final attack. Yun Yao's long sword rained down on the black-clad men, and each sword could take away the fighting power of an enemy. Chu Mochen cast a series of small spells, accurately attacking those enemies who were still resisting.

Under their fierce attack, the men in black were finally completely repelled. Some of them fled, while others fell to the ground. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at the mess around them and breathed a sigh of relief. But they also knew that this attack was by no means accidental, and there must be a deeper conspiracy behind it.

Yun Yao walked up to the sealed commander and looked at him coldly: "Tell me, who sent you here?"

The commander just snorted coldly and kept silent.

Chu Mochen frowned: "It seems that he will not speak easily, let's take him back to the sect and hand him over to the elders."

Yun Yao nodded in agreement. They lifted part of the seal on the commander, leaving only the spell that restricted his movements, and then led him in the direction of the sect. Along the way, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen remained vigilant to prevent any more enemy attacks.

After a long journey, they finally saw the gate of the sect. At this time, they were tired and scarred, but their eyes were firm. They knew that there might be more challenges waiting for them in the sect, but they were ready to face all unknown dangers.
