Chapter 410: The Core Revealed
The night was like thick ink, weighing heavily on the sect. Only the soft light from the defensive magic circle in front of the treasure house stubbornly penetrated the darkness, like a lonely lamp in the abyss, giving people some comfort. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen stood side by side. Their figures looked tired but resolute under the light of the magic circle. After a series of hard battles, their clothes were torn, their hair was messy, and sweat mixed with blood dried up on their cheeks, leaving mottled marks, but their eyes were still as sharp as eagles, staring closely at the every move of the group of demons.
At this time, the attacks of the demon shadows became more and more crazy, one wave after another, without any intention of stopping. They seemed to have sensed some kind of crisis and wanted to break through the defense line with the most violent attack to achieve their evil purpose. Yun Yao was concentrating on controlling the magic circle. Her hands danced rapidly, forming complex and exquisite hand seals, continuously injecting the spiritual power in her body into the magic circle, maintaining the operation of the magic circle and resisting the impact of the demon shadows. Every time a hand seal was made, the magic circle would shine with a faint light, as if roaring in protest in the darkness.
Chu Mochen held a long sword, his posture was as straight as a pine tree, and the cold light on the sword seemed to be able to cut through the thick night. His eyes were like torches, always paying attention to the movements of the demon shadows. Whenever a demon shadow broke through the spiritual barrier at the edge of the magic circle, he would attack instantly like lightning. He was seen flashing in front of the demon shadow in the blink of an eye, and the long sword in his hand was wrapped in endless sword energy, slashing down with the force of thunder. The sword moves were sharp and swift, and wherever they passed, the demon shadows collapsed and turned into wisps of black smoke. However, the number of demon shadows was too large. As soon as one wave was eliminated, a new batch surged up, as if endless.
In this fierce battle, Yun Yao, with her keen perception, noticed that there seemed to be some mysterious connection between the demon shadows. Every time a demon shadow was destroyed, the power of the other demon shadows would instantly increase, their attacks became more violent, and the dark spiritual power became more intense. This discovery shocked Yun Yao, and she knew that if she didn't cut off this strange connection, this battle would never end and she would definitely lose.
Yun Yao was extremely anxious. She turned to look at Chu Mochen and shouted, "Brother Chu, these demonic shadows are not right. There is some kind of connection between them. If you destroy one, the others will become stronger!" Chu Mochen frowned and kept using his sword. He dodged the black energy claw of a demonic shadow and shouted, "I noticed it too. What should we do?" Yun Yao's eyes quickly scanned the group of demonic shadows, and she was thinking about countermeasures quickly in her mind. After a moment, a decisive look flashed in her eyes, and she shouted, "We have to find their core. Only by destroying the core can we completely disintegrate them!"
Chu Mochen nodded slightly in agreement. The two looked at each other, with a determined fighting spirit burning in their eyes. They began to pay more attention to the action patterns of the demon shadows, trying to find the core clues from the chaotic battle. Yun Yao controlled the magic circle while carefully observing the attack direction and spiritual power fluctuations of the demon shadows. She found that when the demon shadows attacked, there was always a part that would deliberately guard a certain area, and whenever that area was threatened, the demon shadows would react particularly fiercely.
Yun Yao's heart moved. Following this clue, she focused all her attention on the depths of the demonic shadow group. There, the dark spiritual power was the most concentrated, as if it was an endless abyss, swallowing up all the light around it. She held her breath and locked her eyes tightly, not missing any slight movement. Finally, in the thick darkness, she sensed an extremely powerful black aura slowly surging, like a giant beast hidden at the bottom of the abyss, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.
"There!" Yun Yao shouted excitedly, and at the same time winked at Chu Mochen and the elders who were fighting against the demon not far away. Her voice was a little hoarse due to long-term shouting and spiritual power consumption, but it was full of power at this moment. Chu Mochen looked in the direction Yun Yao pointed, his eyes were instantly as sharp as an eagle, and he also sensed the existence of that powerful aura. Although the elders were in the fierce battle, they were always paying attention to the movements here. Seeing Yun Yao's signal, they all took the time to look sideways.
Everyone immediately understood, knowing that this might be the key to turning the tide of the battle. At this moment, without saying much, they quickly adjusted the direction of attack, tacitly concentrated their firepower, and launched a fierce attack on the core of the Demon Shadow. The elders each used their unique skills, and for a moment, the night sky was illuminated by various powerful spells, as if day had arrived. Some elders waved their hands and summoned a blazing fire storm. The flames were like surging waves, roaring and sweeping towards the core of the Demon Shadow. Wherever they passed, the air was burned and sizzled; some elders controlled the sharp ice storm. Driven by spiritual power, countless sharp ice spikes shot at the Demon Shadow like hidden weapons. Each ice spike contained powerful destructive power and could easily penetrate the dark body of the Demon Shadow; others mobilized the violent power of thunder, and purple lightning meandered in the night sky, with the momentum of destroying the world, and struck down with a bang, shaking the earth.
Chu Mochen was not to be outdone. He took a deep breath, and the spiritual power in his body circulated wildly. The long sword in his hand shone brightly and dazzlingly. He shouted loudly, and rushed to the core like a silver lightning. The sword moved with him, wrapped in endless sword energy, and moved forward. Every time the sword was swung, it seemed to be able to cut through the sky, bringing up bursts of whistling wind, and shattering the demon shadows in front of him.
Yun Yao was at the back, concentrating on casting auxiliary spells. She quickly formed seals with both hands, and rays of spiritual power flowed out from her fingertips and merged into the attacks of the crowd. These spiritual power rays were like a sharp coat covering the attacks of the crowd, greatly increasing their power. While casting spells, she kept an eye on the changes on the battlefield, and with her keen perception, she provided support and warnings to the crowd. Once she found that a demon shadow tried to attack from the flank or rear, she would promptly control the magic circle and release a spiritual power barrier to block it, ensuring that everyone could concentrate on attacking the core.
As the attacks of the crowd became more and more fierce, the demons felt an unprecedented threat. They gathered together frantically, using their bodies to block the attacks of the crowd, trying to protect the core. For a time, the battlefield was full of demons, and the black figures intertwined to form an airtight defense wall. But the crowd did not retreat, and their eyes revealed a firm determination. In this white-hot battle, they approached the core step by step with difficulty. Every step forward was accompanied by a violent collision of spiritual power and the shrill roar of the demons, but they had only one belief in their hearts - to destroy the core of the Phantom Demon and protect the peace of the sect.
