Chapter 163 Defeating the Enemy from the Opposite Direction
The white-robed sage was like a god descending from heaven, surrounded by a sacred radiance, as if he had his own background music, making people want to kneel down and sing "Conquer".
He effortlessly deflected the Black Demon Lord's attack; his nonchalant manner was incredibly cool!
Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye were overjoyed and almost burst into tears, thinking that reinforcements had arrived.
But to everyone's surprise, this wise and powerful figure pulled off a stunning reversal.
"Ahem, well, although I look very powerful, my chances of winning against the Black Demon Lord in a one-on-one fight are slim..." The wise man awkwardly touched his nose, his tone even sounding a little timid?
Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye froze instantly, feeling as if a flock of crows were flying overhead, cawing incessantly.
what?
!
This is amazing! You appeared with holy light, and this is all you got?
Ye Shuli's hopes were dashed like bubbles, leaving her feeling more thrilled than riding a rollercoaster.
The air around us seemed to freeze; the awkward atmosphere was suffocating.
"Then... what are you doing here?" Jiang Ye couldn't help but start complaining.
The wise man blushed slightly and coughed lightly, "I'm here to provide intelligence support..."
Ye Shuli roared inwardly: Intelligence support?
You should have told me you needed intelligence support sooner!
She was so happy for nothing!
Taking a deep breath, Ye Shuli forced herself to calm down.
Now is not the time to complain; we need to find a way to break the deadlock.
“Wise One, since you know the Black Demon Lord’s weakness, why don’t we…” Ye Shuli’s eyes darted around, and a plan came to mind.
She leaned closer to the wise man and whispered her plan in detail.
The wise man listened, his eyes widening, his expression shifting from shock to confusion, and finally to…
excited?
Jiang Ye stared blankly at the two of them, completely unaware of what they were plotting.
After Ye Shuli finished speaking, he couldn't help but ask, "What... weird trick are you going to pull?"
Ye Shuli smiled mysteriously, "Unconventional methods, understand? To deal with an arrogant guy like the Black Demon Cult Leader, you have to use some extraordinary means!"
She paused.
Who is the Black Demon Cult Leader?
That guy prides himself on being the most handsome guy in the fantasy world. When has he ever been looked down upon like this?
He snorted coldly, feeling that this was an insult to his character and that he had to prove his strength with concrete actions.
With a roar, he mobilized all his spiritual power, gathering it in his palm. A black light shot out like a cannonball, heading straight for Ye Shuli.
The way he looked at her made it seem like he was going to blast her into dust with one blow!
"boom!"
After a loud bang, smoke and dust billowed up.
The Black Demon Lord had a cold smile on his lips, as if he could already see Ye Shuli being blasted into a bloody pulp.
However, when the smoke cleared, he was astonished to find that Ye Shuli was completely unharmed, standing there looking at him innocently, as if to say, "Oops, I missed!"
The Black Demon Lord's smile froze instantly, his expression as sour as if he had eaten ten pounds of lemons.
He felt like he had been thoroughly tricked, and his anger surged.
The white-robed sage beside him showed an expression of appreciation, stroking his beard with satisfaction in his eyes.
It seems this little girl is indeed very clever!
Just as the Black Demon Lord was stunned, the Blood Shadow Assassin moved swiftly, like a ghost, and attacked Ye Shuli once again.
He held a sharp blade, radiating a chilling aura, and aimed straight for Ye Shuli's vitals.
Just as Ye Shuli was about to die on the spot, a figure suddenly flashed in front of her and blocked the fatal blow.
"when!"
A crisp metallic clang rang out, sparks flying everywhere.
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw Jiang Ye holding a long sword that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, standing solemnly in front of Ye Shuli.
He was no longer the carefree, goofy boy he once was, but rather a fierce wolfhound protecting its cubs, exuding an aura of danger.
Jiang Ye's sudden outburst surprised everyone present, including Ye Shuli.
She looked at Jiang Ye in surprise and found that his eyes, which were usually always smiling, were now filled with determination and coldness, as if he were a completely different person.
"Wow, Xiao Yezi, are you using some kind of cheat code?" Ye Shuli blurted out, feeling as if she had discovered some incredible secret.
Jiang Ye did not answer Ye Shuli, but stared intently at the Blood Shadow Assassin. The longsword in his hand hummed, as if waiting for the next battle to begin.
Ye Shuli looked thoughtfully at the artifact in her hand. New patterns seemed to have appeared on its surface, as if they were telling some secret.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Ye Shuli quickly began to examine the divine artifact in her hand.
She'd had this thing for a while now, but aside from occasionally emitting light or striking lightning, it wasn't really useful.
Today, a wise old man in white finally showed up. I thought I might unlock some hidden skills, but it turns out this old man is a complete idiot who can only provide intelligence support. What a rip-off!
However, Ye Shuli is not someone who gives up easily.
She focused her mind and breath, slowly channeling her spiritual power into the artifact.
Suddenly, strange patterns appeared on the surface of the artifact, as complex as a circuit board, yet with a mysterious rhythm.
These patterns are exactly the same as the ancient script that the wise man had mentioned before!
Ye Shuli was overjoyed. Could this be the key to unlocking the secret of the divine artifact?
She carefully channeled her spiritual energy along the patterns, tentatively touching each node.
Suddenly, a powerful energy surged from the artifact, enveloping her entirely.
She felt as if her body had been infused with boundless power, her meridians were unblocked, her spiritual energy was abundant, and she felt much lighter, as if she were about to ascend to immortality.
"Wow, this feels amazing!" Ye Shuli thought to herself with secret delight. It seems this artifact really is a treasure!
She continued to study the patterns, and gradually she discovered that these patterns seemed to be able to combine into different designs, and each design corresponded to a different ability.
Just then, the Black Demon Lord finally realized what was happening. He roared, "Damn girl, how dare you play me!" He gathered his spiritual power again, preparing to deliver a fatal blow to Ye Shuli.
However, Ye Shuli is no longer the same person she used to be.
With a thought, the patterns on the artifact instantly combined to form a defensive design.
A golden light barrier formed around her, blocking all of the Black Demon Lord's attacks.
"What?!" The Black Demon Lord stared at the scene in disbelief. He never imagined that Ye Shuli could block his attack so easily.
He felt like he had been slapped in the face and had completely lost face!
Jiang Ye, standing to the side, was swaying slightly due to the excessive consumption of spiritual energy from his outburst.
Seeing this, Ye Shuli quickly helped him up and said with concern, "Little Ye, are you alright?"
Jiang Ye felt a warmth in his heart when he saw Ye Shuli's concerned eyes. He shook his head and said casually, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
Their intimate interaction filled the air with a sweet atmosphere.
The wise man in white nodded with satisfaction as he watched this scene.
It seems that these two young people are not only powerful, but also have a deep bond; they are truly a match made in heaven!
The Black Demon Lord's anger intensified as he watched Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye flaunt their affection without regard for others.
He gritted his teeth and said viciously, "You all just wait, I will make you pay the price!"
His gaze swept coldly over everyone present, like a venomous snake searching for an opportunity to strike.
Seeing that he couldn't gain the upper hand by fighting alone, the Black Demon Lord brazenly decided to call for reinforcements.
He roared to the sky, the sound waves making the surrounding trees tremble as if they were wailing: "My little ones, get out and get to work!"
As soon as he finished speaking, countless men in black appeared from all directions, each one looking fierce and menacing, clearly not good people.
The Blood Shadow Assassin rejoined the battle, his blade gleaming with a bloodthirsty light.
In the distance, the old man with fiery eyes, along with a group of his men, slowly approached, their eyes even more greedy than a vulture's.
In an instant, Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye were completely surrounded, as if they were in a huge black vortex.
The air froze instantly, and a sense of oppression enveloped the two of them as if it were a tangible force, making it hard to breathe.
This feeling is like being suddenly surrounded by the boss's minions while playing a game; it's an epic level of difficulty!
Ye Shuli looked around at the enemies surging in like a tide and cursed inwardly, "Damn it."
That old bastard, the Black Demon Cult Leader, is truly shameless; he's actually resorting to a human wave tactic!
However, she wasn't easily intimidated, and this little show of force wasn't enough to make her back down!
Jiang Ye gripped his sword tightly, his brows furrowed, his eyes sharp as knives.
He was like a wolf poised to pounce, ready to strike the enemy at any moment, protecting Ye Shuli behind him.
He knew this was not the time for frivolousness; he had to unleash his full power to protect the person most important to him.
Just as the Black Demon Cult Leader was gloating and thought victory was in his grasp, Ye Shuli suddenly curled up a mysterious smile on her lips.
She slowly closed her eyes, as if sensing something.
The surrounding noise gradually faded away, and her consciousness was immersed in a mysterious state.
Suddenly, Ye Shuli opened her eyes. A brand new solution appeared in her mind, illuminating the path ahead like a bolt of lightning.
This method is a bit risky, but it will definitely teach these arrogant guys a lesson!
Ye Shuli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile. She stretched out her finger and gently touched the patterns on the artifact, her tone calm yet carrying an undeniable air: "This time, it's our turn to fight back."
Looking at Ye Shuli's confident smile, Jiang Ye knew she must have a new plan. He took a deep breath, assumed a fighting stance, and silently protected her.
Ye Shuli's gaze was firm and focused. She began to slowly mobilize the spiritual power within her body, trying to fuse this power with the divine artifact in her hand, following the method that appeared in her mind.
Her movements appeared slow, yet they possessed a chilling rhythm, like the calm before a storm.
She held her breath and slowly raised her left hand...
