The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 692: Crisis Turnaround

In this dark cave, the leader of the black-robed people was like a crazy demon god, and the evil aura emanating from his body was as thick as ink, surging wantonly. His strength, which had skyrocketed due to the use of forbidden spells, made every attack carry a violent force that was enough to tear the world apart. The offensive was like a surging, endless storm, hitting Yun Yao and Chu Mochen fiercely.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood back to back, their spiritual powers running wildly to the extreme, their bodies shining with light, trying their best to resist this fierce attack like a storm. Yun Yao's forehead was covered with sweat, which slid down her cheeks and wet her clothes. She clenched her teeth, her eyes revealing determination and resoluteness. Chu Mochen also had a solemn expression, and the long sword in his hand was buzzing. Every time he swung the sword to resist, his arm was numb and blood flowed from his knuckles, but he did not retreat a single step, like a towering mountain, guarding behind Yun Yao.

"Hmph, today you can't escape even if you have wings. This ancient powerful inheritance and the secret hidden in this woman will all belong to me!" The leader of the black-robed men let out a shrill laugh, and the sound echoed in the cave, shaking the walls to dust. His twisted face was full of greed and hideousness.

Yun Yao was extremely anxious. The inheritance was forcibly interrupted. Although she had stabilized her strength in the fusion realm, she was still in a precarious situation facing an enemy that had suddenly become several times stronger. She caught a glimpse of Chu Mochen beside her. His long hair was soaked with sweat, and a few strands of hair stuck to his cheeks, but they could not hide the burning fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Brother Chu, we can't just sit there and wait to die!" Yun Yao shouted loudly, her voice a little hoarse but still firm and powerful.

Chu Mochen nodded slightly, and swung the long sword in his hand to make a sword flower, sweeping away a wave of black evil force attacks, and said in a deep voice: "Yao'er, I will cover you and look for an opportunity to counterattack!"

Just as the two of them were struggling to hold on and their spiritual power was about to run out, the ancient token that Yun Yao had been holding tightly in her hand suddenly shone brightly without any warning. In an instant, the bright light burst out in the cave like a rising sun, dazzling and illuminating the entire cave as bright as day. The light was pure and mysterious, as if it contained endless ancient power, pouring out continuously, turning into an indestructible light curtain, and actually blocked all the attacks of the black-robed man.

The black-robed leader's face suddenly changed when he saw this, his eyes full of astonishment and disbelief. "What the hell is this!" He roared, waving his hands wildly, trying to increase the power of the spell and break through this strange light curtain. However, the light seemed to have life, and it became stronger when it encountered a stronger force. No matter how he struggled, his attacks were firmly blocked, splashing layers of gorgeous light patterns.

Yun Yao was also surprised and happy. She subconsciously looked at the token in her hand, only to see the mysterious runes on the token flashing wildly like a living thing. The light traveled along the veins of the runes, emitting a strange rhythm, as if echoing her heartbeat.

"Brother Chu, this token must be the key. It may be our chance to get out of this predicament!" Yun Yao's eyes were bright with a spark of hope in them.

Chu Mochen's eyes flashed with light, and he held the sword in his hand horizontally, saying loudly: "Okay, Yao'er, let's follow this clue and fight for it!"

The two looked at each other, and the tacit understanding they had cultivated over the years of fighting side by side was fully revealed at this moment. Yun Yao took a deep breath, quickly adjusted her state, and gathered all the spiritual power in her palm. The palm was shining, as if it had gathered the power of the stars. She muttered something in her mouth and cast the ultimate spell she learned from the inheritance. As she recited the spell, a simple and majestic shadow appeared behind her, as if possessed by an ancient great power, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.

At the same time, Chu Mochen also brought his swordsmanship to its fullest. His figure was as fast as lightning, moving freely in the cave, and the long sword in his hand turned into a stream of light. Every time he stabbed and chopped, it was wrapped in a sharp sword energy, as if it could cut through the void. The sound of the sword resounded throughout the cave, echoing with the spiritual power fluctuations stimulated by Yun Yao's spell, forming a powerful resonance force.

Under the combined might of the two, the spiritual power in the cave was raging, and the wind was howling. The powerful impact force was like a surging tide, rolling towards the black-robed camp. The black-robed man was the first to bear the brunt of it, and felt a huge force rushing towards him. His body seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and he retreated repeatedly. The black-robed minions behind him were even more vulnerable. They were knocked to the ground by this force, and their formation was in chaos. They shouted in fear and tried to escape.

Yun Yao took this opportunity to focus her eyes on the token in her hand. At this moment, the runes on the token flashed more and more rapidly, and the light outlined a faint light path, as if opening up a passage of hope in this chaotic and dark cave, pointing to an unknown direction.

"Brother Chu, this way!" Yun Yao shouted, and ran along the light path first. Chu Mochen flashed and followed closely behind, guarding vigilantly by his side with a long sword in his hand.

Seeing this, the leader of the black-robed men refused to give up. He suppressed the surging blood in his body and roared, "Chase them, we can't let them get away!" After that, he led the remaining black-robed men and staggered after them.

Yun Yao and Chu Mochen ran along the light path. The road was bumpy and uneven, and they tripped over gravel from time to time, but they did not stop. The shouts and footsteps of the black-robed man behind them were like a shadow, which was frightening.

Suddenly, a narrow stone door appeared in front of him. The stone door was tightly closed, and there were strange symbols engraved on the door, which were somewhat similar to the token in Yun Yao's hand. Yun Yao didn't have time to think about it, and quickly stepped forward and put the token in his hand close to the stone door. The token flashed, and the stone door seemed to be summoned, slowly shaking, making a dull sound, and then slowly opened.

An old and mysterious atmosphere came over them. The light inside the door was dim, and it was hard to see what was inside. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen looked at each other and stepped in resolutely. As soon as they stepped into the stone door, the leader of the black-robed men roared angrily behind them: "Open the door for me!" Then, there was a sound of a fierce attack hitting the stone door.

Yun Yao looked back and saw that the stone door was shaking violently under the attack of the black-robed man, and the light was flickering, as if it would break at any time. She was anxious and looked around, and found that it was a small secret room. The walls were inlaid with luminous gems, illuminating the room. In the center of the secret room was an ancient stone platform, on which there was a small jade box, and the jade box was emitting a warm light, as if attracting Yun Yao's attention.

"Brother Chu, come and see what's in the jade box!" Yun Yao said as he walked quickly towards the stone platform.

Chu Mochen stood vigilantly by the side, his eyes fixed on the direction of the stone gate, on guard against the possibility that the man in black robes might break in at any time.

Yun Yao opened the jade box with trembling hands. In an instant, a soft light shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire secret room. In the light, an ancient book slowly floated up, and the pages automatically opened. Lines of golden words shone like stars, entering Yun Yao's eyes.

"This is..." Yun Yao widened her eyes, shocked.

The scroll records an ancient secret about the more ancient history of the Yunyao family. It turns out that the Yunyao family had reached a contract with a mysterious guardian force in ancient times. This force gave the family a unique bloodline and mission to protect the balance of the world. And the token is the key to unlock the land of inheritance of the contract. Now, this land of inheritance has appeared in the world, in a corner deep in this cave.

"Brother Chu, we must find this place of inheritance. Maybe there is a treasure there that can completely reverse the situation!" Yun Yao said excitedly.

Chu Mochen nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Okay, but we have to find a way to get rid of these tails behind us first."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang from the stone gate, and the leader of the black-robed men broke through the stone gate and rushed in. His eyes were cold, and he glanced around, and when he saw the scroll in Yun Yao's hand, the greed in his eyes became even stronger.

“Hand over the scroll and I will spare your lives!” roared the leader of the black-robed men.

Yun Yao snorted coldly, put the scroll into the storage ring, and sneered: "If you want it, you are worthy!"

After that, she stood side by side with Chu Mochen, ready to fight again. The leader of the black-robed men saw this and laughed in anger: "Then don't blame me for being rude!" After that, he waved his hands, and the black evil power gathered again. A more tragic battle was about to break out in this secret room...

Outside the cave, the wind was howling and the sky was gloomy as if the end of the world was coming. Inside the cave, the fate of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen hung by a thread. Can they rely on the turnaround brought by the token to find the inheritance place and completely get out of the predicament? What kind of variables will the mysterious power hidden in the depths of darkness bring to their future? Everything is still unknown...

The leader of the black-robed men came like a ghost, and as his hands danced, the black evil power turned into ferocious claws, tearing through the air and grabbing Yun Yao and Chu Mochen. Yun Yao's eyes focused, and the spells in his hands changed rapidly. A golden light curtain instantly propped up in front of him, like a shield, blocking all the claws. Sparks flew everywhere where the light curtain collided with the evil power, light flashed, and crackling sounds were heard.

“Hmph, a mere trifle!” The leader of the black-robed men snorted coldly, but continued his attack. His steps were strange and varied. He instantly moved to the side of Yun Yao and raised his hand to deliver a heavy blow.

Seeing this, Chu Mochen shook his sword, which turned into a long rainbow and stabbed at the black-robed leader's ribs. The sword was so sharp that it seemed to be able to penetrate metal and stone. The black-robed leader had to dodge sideways, and the evil power in his hand slapped out and collided with the long sword. In an instant, a powerful impact force broke out, shocking Chu Mochen back several steps, and his feet plowed two deep gullies on the ground.

"Brother Chu!" Yun Yao exclaimed, and in a flash, she came to Chu Mochen's side and checked his injuries with concern.

"It's okay, Yao'er, be careful!" Chu Mochen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, tightened his sword again, and stared at the leader of the black-robed men with a firm gaze.

When the leader of the black-robed men saw the two men like this, he laughed wildly: "You are all going to die today, why are you still sympathizing with each other!" After that, he launched another attack, and the evil power was like a black storm, sweeping across the entire secret room.

Yun Yao was anxious, and looked around, looking for flaws in the secret room. Suddenly, she found a dim light on the wall of the secret room, as if there was some mechanism hidden. She was moved, and looked at Chu Mochen, and they understood instantly.

"Brother Chu, cover me!" Yun Yao shouted, and then rushed towards the wall like lightning.

Chu Mochen swung his sword, and the sword energy was so powerful that he blocked all the attacks of the black-robed leader, buying time for Yun Yao.

Yun Yao came to the wall and quickly felt around with her hands, searching for the trigger point of the mechanism with her keen senses. Finally, she touched a slightly raised stone and pressed it hard.

Instantly, the secret room shook violently, the ground began to crack, and rays of light poured out from the cracks. Seeing this, the leader of the black-robed people changed his expression and exclaimed, "What the hell is this place!"

"Want to run? That's not that easy!" Yun Yao snorted coldly, and the magic formula in her hand changed. A spiritual rope appeared out of thin air and wrapped around the leader of the black-robed men.

The leader of the black-robed man struggled hard, but the rope was like a spirit snake, getting tighter and tighter. At this moment, the ground suddenly collapsed, and Yun Yao, Chu Mochen and the leader of the black-robed man fell into a bottomless dark abyss.

As they fell, Yun Yao tightly grasped Chu Mochen's hand, feeling uneasy. Suddenly, she felt a gentle force holding them back, and when she looked down, she saw that the light from the token had formed a protective shield, slowing down their descent.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally landed. There was a dead silence all around, and the darkness was like thick ink, so dark that one could not see one's hand in front of one's face. The token in Yun Yao's hand flickered, illuminating a small area around them. They were in a huge underground cave, which was full of strange rocks and stalactites, like a mysterious underground world.

"Brother Chu, where are we?" Yun Yao asked softly, her voice echoing in the cave with a hint of ethereality.

"No matter where we are, we must find a way out first." Chu Mochen tightly gripped the sword and looked around vigilantly.

The two walked forward cautiously, and suddenly, a low roar came from the front, like the roar of an ancient beast. Then, pairs of red eyes lit up in the darkness, like flickering will-o'-the-wisp.

"Oh no, there's danger!" Yun Yao exclaimed, and she and Chu Mochen quickly stood back to back, ready for battle.

I saw a group of huge, bat-like monsters rushing out from the darkness, exuding a foul smell and their sharp claws flashing coldly under the light of the token.

"Kill!" Chu Mochen roared, and swung his sword first, and a sword energy slashed towards the leading monsters.

Yun Yao did not dare to neglect it, and moved her hands in a continuous manner, sending beams of magic light towards the group of monsters. However, these monsters were numerous and extremely ferocious, and after a wave of attacks, they did not retreat at all, but instead rushed forward more frantically.

During the fierce battle, Yun Yao suddenly discovered that these monsters seemed to be guarding something. Although their attacks were chaotic, they would always protect a direction behind them intentionally or unintentionally.

"Brother Chu, there might be something fishy over there!" Yun Yao shouted loudly, pointing behind the group of monsters.

"Okay, let's charge over!" Chu Mochen responded, the sword in his hand glowed brighter, and he charged towards the group of monsters.

The two of them cooperated well and fought bloody battles all the way, finally killing their way to the back of the monster group. There was a huge stone platform there, and on the stone platform stood an ancient statue, with its hands clasped together, as if praying for something. There was a groove on the chest of the statue, and the shape of the groove was exactly the same as the token in Yun Yao's hand.

“Could this be the entrance to the place of inheritance?” Yun Yao’s heart moved and she quickly walked onto the stone platform.

The leader of the black-robed men also got rid of the spiritual ropes and rushed over. When he saw the stone platform and the statue, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he laughed wildly: "Hahaha, this inheritance is mine after all!" After that, he rushed towards Yun Yao.

Yun Yao snorted coldly and inserted the token in his hand into the groove on the chest of the statue. In an instant, the statue glowed brightly, and the entire cave seemed to be on fire. The dazzling light made it difficult for everyone to open their eyes. In the light, an ancient portal slowly emerged, and the portal seemed to be connected to another mysterious world.

"Let's go!" Yun Yao shouted, pulled Chu Mochen's hand, and rushed towards the door.

The leader of the black-robed people was unwilling to give up and followed closely. The moment they stepped into the door, the token in Yun Yao's hand suddenly flew out, turned into a beam of light, and hit the leader of the black-robed people. The leader of the black-robed people screamed, his body was knocked out, and fell heavily to the ground.

"You... just wait!" The leader of the men in black robes struggled to get up, but the door had already slowly closed, isolating him outside.

When Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stepped into the door, they felt a vast and mysterious power rushing towards them, as if they had traveled through time and space and arrived in a brand new world. Here the sky was blue, white clouds were floating, there was a vast expanse of grassland under their feet, and the mountains in the distance were undulating, like a fairyland.

"Is this the place of inheritance?" Yun Yao exclaimed, her eyes full of shock and expectation.

"No matter what, let's explore it first." Chu Mochen said, with caution in his eyes.

The two walked forward along the grass, and along the way, they saw many strange flowers and plants, emitting colorful light, as if containing endless spiritual energy. As they walked, a magnificent palace appeared in front of them. The palace door was closed, and the door was engraved with mysterious runes, as if telling an ancient story.

Yun Yao held the token and slowly walked towards the palace gate. When the token approached the gate...
