Chapter 199 Shadow Secrets, Emotional Entanglement
Ghostly creatures surged in like a tide, roaring and surrounding Bi Yao and Li Yuan with a chilling cold aura.
The sharp claws cut through the air, making a sharp whistling sound, and the cold wind blew, making the robes rustle.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan stood back to back, their eyes focused, their weapons dancing like the wind, taking away several ghostly creatures with every swing.
While they fought hard, they carefully observed the movement patterns of these ghostly creatures.
Li Yuan's swordsmanship was sharp, the sword light was like a rainbow, and each sword strike accurately hit the ghost creature's weakness.
He was agile and could move freely among the ghostly creatures like a dragon playing in the water.
Bi Yao held a long whip in his hand, and the whip shadows flew around, wrapping around the ghost creatures like a spirit snake and throwing them away fiercely.
Her movements were swift and graceful, yet carried an undeniable majesty.
As the battle intensified, the ghost creatures' attacks became more powerful.
Their number seemed endless, and they kept coming up one after another, as if they wanted to devour them completely.
In the dark space, there are only the clanging sounds of weapons colliding and the roars of ghostly creatures intertwined together to form a piece of death metal music.
Suddenly, a ghostly creature jumped out from the side, and its sharp claws scratched Bi Yao's arm.
A sharp pain came, and Bi Yao couldn't help but groan.
Bright red blood flowed down the wound, staining her sleeves red.
"Yao'er!" Li Yuan was extremely anxious when he saw this.
He wanted to go over and protect Bi Yao, but he was entangled by the ghostly creatures around him and was unable to split himself.
Bi Yao gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and continued to swing the whip.
She knew that in this dangerous environment, any sign of weakness could lead them into an irretrievable situation.
Li Yuan anxiously called out, "Yao'er, how are you?"
Bi Yao took a deep breath and said calmly, "I'm fine, don't worry about me!"
The ghost creature seemed to be aware of Bi Yao's injuries and attacked even more frantically.
They pounced on Bi Yao greedily like wild beasts smelling blood, wanting to tear her to pieces.
At this critical moment, Bi Yao suddenly felt something strange.
The goal of these ghostly creatures doesn't seem to be to kill them, but...
Protect?
All their attacks cleverly avoided the vital points.
Bi Yao's gaze fell on the area behind the ghostly creature, where a faint light was flickering. A bold idea emerged in her mind: "Li Yuan, perhaps they..."
Li Yuan swung his sword to block the attack of a ghost creature, turned his head to look at Bi Yao, but saw that she was staring at the area behind the ghost creature, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.
He followed her gaze and suddenly felt a bad premonition in his heart.
"Yao'er, what do you want to do?" There was a hint of worry in Li Yuan's voice.
Bi Yao didn't answer, but walked towards that area with a determined look...
"Be careful!" Li Yuan shouted.
Bi Yao ignored Li Yuan's obstruction and walked straight towards the area where the dim light was flickering.
She had a hunch that these ghostly creatures were not simply evil beings, but more like some kind of guardians.
"Look at their attacks," Bi Yao explained to Li Yuan while dodging the ghost creatures' seemingly ferocious attacks that deliberately avoided vital points. "They don't really want to hurt us. It's more like they're trying to stop us from getting close to that area."
"Stop them? They almost took your life!" Li Yuan swung his sword to chop off a ghost creature that pounced on Bi Yao, with a hint of anger in his tone.
"They are controlled by some evil force, we must destroy them!" Li Yuan's swordsmanship became more and more fierce, and the sword energy was so powerful that it forced the surrounding ghost creatures back several steps.
"No, they are not being controlled, but being protected!" Bi Yao insisted on her point of view. She keenly caught the faint light in the eyes of the ghost creature. It was not a symbol of evil, but more like a kind of sadness and helplessness.
"Think about it, if they really wanted to kill us, with their numbers and speed, we would have already..."
"Enough!" Li Yuan interrupted her harshly, "Yao'er, I know you have a kind heart, but now is not the time to be soft-hearted! These ghost creatures are dangerous, we must..."
Before he could finish his words, Bi Yao suddenly shouted, "Their energy core! Attack their energy core!" Bi Yao's eyes were fixed on the core on the chest of a ghost creature, which was flashing with a faint light. That was the weakness she analyzed from their attack pattern.
Although Li Yuan was confused, he still chose to believe Bi Yao.
He quickly adjusted the direction of his attack, pointing the sword directly at the energy core of the ghost creature.
The sword flashed, and the ghost creature let out a shrill roar, then turned into a ball of black mist and dissipated in the air.
Seeing this, Bi Yao was delighted and began to dance with the long whip in her hand, with the tip of the whip accurately hitting the energy core of one ghost creature after another.
The ghostly creatures disappeared one after another, and the originally eerie and terrifying space gradually returned to peace.
The air around them seemed to be a lot lighter. Bi Yao and Li Yuan smiled at each other, feeling a sense of accomplishment.
"I told you so long ago..." Bi Yao was about to say something when she suddenly felt dizzy...
The noise of the battle gradually subsided, and the air was filled with a faint smell of blood, mixed with the strange scent left after the ghostly creatures dissipated.
Li Yuan walked quickly to Bi Yao and held up her injured arm with heartache.
The wound was bloody and fresh red blood was still oozing out.
He gently stroked the skin around the wound, and the warmth from his fingertips passed through the thin fabric to Bi Yao's skin, bringing a tingling sensation.
Li Yuan's gaze was as gentle as water, and Bi Yao's figure was reflected in his deep eyes, as if everything in the world had disappeared, and only she was left in front of him.
Bi Yao stared into his eyes, feeling the warmth of his fingertips, and a warm feeling rose in her heart.
Everything around him became blurry, only the affection and concern in his eyes were so clear and so real.
There is a faint sweetness in the air, as if love is quietly fermenting.
The distance between the two gradually shortened, their breaths intertwined, and each other's heartbeats were clearly audible.
At this moment, a powerful aura suddenly descended, breaking the moment of tranquility.
A huge ghost phantom appeared out of nowhere. It was tall, with a hideous face, and exuded a suffocating sense of oppression.
The air around him froze instantly, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
The ghost phantom let out a deafening roar, and the huge sound waves made the ground tremble slightly.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan quickly came to their senses, their eyes becoming sharp and determined.
They knew that new challenges were coming.
"Yao'er, be careful!" Li Yuan protected Bi Yao behind him, and the long sword in his hand made a crisp sound.
Bi Yao nodded and swung the long whip in his hand like the wind. The whip shadows were heavy, like an impenetrable net, covering the ghost phantom.
Li Yuan's swordsmanship was sharp, the sword light was like a rainbow, and every time he swung the sword, it was like a thunderbolt, going straight to the ghost's vital points.
The ghost's power is astonishing, and every attack is carried out with overwhelming force.
The surrounding space was distorted by the powerful collision, making a series of teeth-grinding sounds.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan did not dare to slack off at all. They went all out and launched a fierce fight with the ghost phantom.
During the fierce battle, Bi Yao suddenly discovered that the attack method of this ghostly phantom was completely different from those ghostly creatures he had encountered before. It seemed to possess some special energy and had a deeper connection with the previous mysterious summons...
"Wait, Li Yuan, look at its...
" Bi Yao pointed at a rune on the ghost's chest that was flashing with a strange light. Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the ghost's sudden attack...
