The Legend of the Princess' Counterattack

Chapter 662 The Truth of the Betrayer

Yun Yao held the Hongmeng Sword Embryo in her hand, and the sword shone brightly. The light was like materialized anger, piercing straight at Yun Zheng. Her eyes were burning with rage, and her heart was filled with hatred. The man in front of her, whom she had once regarded as her uncle and a relative, had now become the most unforgivable traitor.

Yun Zheng dodged the fierce attack with a flash of panic on his face, but soon he regained his cold and resolute expression. He stood still and tore off the disguise on his face. The eye-catching Blood Evil Sect mark on his forehead was exposed to everyone, like a hideous scar, telling the ugly secret hidden behind him.

"Don't blame your uncle. If I hadn't pretended to surrender to you, your mother would not have had the time to send you to the underworld." Yun Zheng's voice trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a complex emotion of guilt, struggle, and more of it was the madness that came from being blinded by obsession.

Yun Yao laughed out of anger, and her laughter was filled with endless sadness: "How dare you bring up the past? Look at the blood all over the ground now, and listen to the screams around, it's all because of you!" She looked around, and wherever her eyes could see were the corpses of Chu Mo's disciples. The blood was flowing, gathering into shocking rivers of blood, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.

Yun Zheng's eyes swept over the tragic scene, and there seemed to be a hint of pity in the depths of his eyes, but it was gone in an instant. He took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself, and continued: "But the Blood Demon Sect promised me that as long as they get your bloodline, they will release the imprisoned remnants of the Hongmeng Clan..."

Before he finished speaking, a powerful and domineering force suddenly struck like black lightning. The Seventh Master of the Blood Evil Sect, the mastermind behind all this bloody conspiracy, suddenly made a move. His palm turned into a huge black claw, carrying the breath of death, and pierced Yun Zheng's chest.

"Stupid, the remnants of Hongmeng should have been exterminated long ago!" The voice of the Seven Evils Palace Master was cold and ruthless, like the roar of evil spirits coming from the Nine Nether Hell, echoing in this bloody battlefield.

Yun Zheng's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He looked down at the black claw that pierced his body, blood gushing out from the corner of his mouth. "You...you lied to me..." He uttered a few words with difficulty, his voice so weak that it was almost inaudible.

Yun Yao looked at this sudden change, her heart tightened. Although Yun Zheng had betrayed her, seeing him in such a miserable state at this moment, the tender scenes of their brief time together in the past still flashed in her mind involuntarily. But soon, the cruel reality in front of her shattered these memories. She knew that if these disasters were not completely resolved today, more innocent people would die in the future.

"Yun Zheng, you wrongly trusted the villain and killed many innocent people. Today is the day you die!" Yun Yao suppressed the complicated emotions in her heart and shouted sternly. The Hongmeng sword embryo in her hand became more and more dazzling under the infusion of her spiritual power. The shadow of her mother Yun Lan faintly appeared on the sword, and the shadow was as firm and resolute as her expression at the moment.

The Seven Evils Hall Master pulled out his claws and let Yun Zheng's body fall to the ground like a kite with its string cut. He turned around and looked at Yun Yao, with a ferocious smile on his face. That smile was like a demon climbing out of the abyss of hell, full of desire for killing and destruction. "Humph, little girl, do you think you can stop the great cause of my Blood Evil Sect? Today is the day you die, and this Hongmeng bloodline will also belong to me!"

Yun Yao had no fear in her heart. She raised her chin slightly, staring into the murderous eyes of the Seven Evil Palace Master with a piercing gaze: "You want my bloodline, are you worthy of being such an evil person? Today I will seek justice for my mother, for the Hongmeng Clan, and for all those who died because of you!"

After saying that, she moved her body and rushed towards the Seven Evils Palace Master like a stream of light. The Hongmeng Sword Embryo in her hand, wrapped with endless spiritual power and the power of time and space, cut through the sky, making a sharp whistling sound. This sword condensed all her grief and strength, and the sword was as powerful as a rainbow, as if it was going to chop off all the darkness in front of her.

The Seven Evils Palace Master did not dare to underestimate her. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and a black shield instantly appeared in front of him. Runes on the shield flickered, emitting a strange aura. At the same time, he muttered something, and countless black mists emerged from behind him. There were faint screams in the mist, and the mists quickly condensed and turned into a group of demonic shadows with bared fangs and claws, rushing towards Yun Yao to kill her.

Seeing this, Yun Yao was not in a hurry. She activated the power of Hongmeng, and a layer of golden light appeared around her. As soon as the demons approached her, they were burned by the light and screamed, and then dissipated into nothingness. She did not stop, and rushed to the shield in the blink of an eye, slashing down fiercely with the sword embryo in her hand.

With a loud "crack", a deep crack appeared on the seemingly indestructible black shield. The face of the Seven Evils Palace Master changed. He did not expect Yun Yao's power to be so strong. He did not dare to hold back at all. He shouted loudly, and his whole body of spiritual power burst out. The shield instantly shone brightly, trying to resist Yun Yao's fierce attack.

However, Yun Yao's sword was so powerful that it was impossible to resist it so easily. The mother's shadow on the Hongmeng sword embryo was in tune with her and also exerted force at this moment. The shadow put her hands together and chanted an ancient spell. A mysterious power flowed into Yun Yao's body along the sword. Yun Yao felt a surge of strength. She swung the sword again and slashed fiercely on the crack of the shield.

This time, the shield shattered with a loud bang, turning into countless black fragments that flew everywhere. The Seven Evils Palace Master was shocked by the recoil force and retreated repeatedly, staggering with a trace of fear on his face.

Yun Yao took advantage of the victory and pursued. She flashed and instantly appeared in front of the Seven Evils Palace Master, holding the sword embryo high in her hand, with endless majesty and murderous intent. "Die!" She shouted angrily, and the sword embryo wrapped in the power of time and space slashed down fiercely.

This sword seemed to contain the power of the entire universe. Time and space were distorted by the sword, and the surrounding scene became blurred. The Seven Evils Palace Master had no way to avoid it. He stared with wide eyes, watching the sword embryo slashing towards him, and the shadow of death instantly enveloped him.

Just as the sword embryo was about to strike the Seven Evils Palace Master, he suddenly laughed wildly: "Even if I die here today, you can't escape fate's trick! The destruction of the Hongmeng Clan is destined by heaven. Everything you have done is in vain!"

Yun Yao was unmoved, her eyes were as firm as a rock, and the sword in her hand swung down without slowing down. "I don't believe in heaven, I only believe in myself! Today I will defy heaven and change my fate, and make your Blood Demon Sect pay a heavy price!"

The sword embryo fell, the light shone, and the body of the Seven Evils Palace Master was instantly covered by the light. Then, a scream sounded, and his body began to disintegrate, turning into countless black powders, drifting away with the wind. At the moment of his disintegration, the evil cultivators of the Blood Evil Sect who were still resisting stubbornly around him fell to the ground one after another as if their souls had been taken away. Their time flow became chaotic, and some instantly aged into dry bones, and their life breath quickly dissipated; some retreated to their childhood form, their eyes were full of fear and confusion, and they died before they could even make a cry.

Yun Yao stood with a sword in hand, the spiritual light around her gradually dissipated, her face was slightly pale, the fierce battle just now, although she killed a powerful enemy, but it also consumed a lot of her spiritual power. She was breathing heavily, her eyes swept across the battlefield, looking at the corpses on the ground, her heart was mixed with mixed feelings.

Suddenly, a weak cough came into her ears. She turned her head and saw Yun Zheng lying on the ground, dying. Yun Yao slowly walked to his side, looking down at this man who was once close to her but now was an extremely strange man, with mixed feelings in her heart.

"Yun Yao... I... I'm sorry..." Yun Zheng's voice was intermittent, and every word seemed to have exhausted all his strength. His eyes were full of regret, and tears slid down his cheeks, leaving two clear tear marks on his face covered with blood and dust.

Yun Yao looked at him coldly: "At this point, what's the point of apologizing? Have you ever thought about how much disaster your one wrong thought has brought about?"

Yun Zheng raised his hand with difficulty, as if he wanted to grab the corner of Yun Yao's clothes, but it fell down weakly: "I just... want to save the Hongmeng tribe... I thought... they would really let those remnants go..."

Yun Yao snorted coldly: "You are too naive. The Blood Demon Sect is an evil organization that does all kinds of evil. How can you trust their words? For this illusory promise, you killed your mother and almost caused the Hongmeng Clan to be completely destroyed!"

Speaking of her mother, Yun Yao's eyes couldn't help but well up in red. Her mother's gentle face in the past appeared in her mind, forming a sharp contrast with the bloody and cruel scene before her. The grief in her heart became more intense.

When Yun Zheng heard Yun Yao mention her mother, his body trembled violently, and the regret in his eyes became even stronger: "I know that my crime is unforgivable... I only ask you, for the sake of our past friendship, to let go of those innocent people of the Hongmeng Clan... They have been imprisoned for many years and have been tortured..."

Yun Yao took a deep breath and tried to calm her emotions: "Don't worry, I will definitely rescue them and revive the Hongmeng Clan. This is my mission and my promise to my mother. But you must pay for everything you have done."

Yun Zheng smiled miserably. He knew that he would definitely die today. He closed his eyes slightly, as if waiting for death to come.

Yun Yao looked at him, sighed in her heart, and gently waved the Hongmeng Sword Embryo in her hand. A soft light enveloped Yun Zheng's body, making him less painful at the last moment. After a moment, Yun Zheng's breath completely dissipated, and his body turned into dots of light and went away with the wind, as if he had never existed in this world.

Yun Yao put away the sword embryo and looked around. The fierce battle finally came to an end, but she knew that there was still a long way to go. She had to rebuild the Hongmeng tribe, protect the origin of the universe, and face those unknown threats. She looked up at the sky, with a gleam of determination in her eyes: "Mother, don't worry, I will never let you down..."

At this time, a ray of dawn appeared in the distant sky, illuminating the devastated land. Yun Yao knew that a new day had arrived, and she would embark on a new journey with hope and courage...
