Chapter 121: Stealth in the Dangerous Road, Spiritual Source Approaching
The fog surged like a snarling monster, trying to devour any living creature that dared to enter.
Yan Yue and Nong Jin walked carefully into the hidden passage. On the stone walls on both sides of the passage, faint fluorescent light flickered, illuminating the road ahead and the various restrictions densely packed in the passage.
These restrictions are like dormant poisonous snakes, which can deliver a fatal blow if you are not careful.
Yan Yue concentrated and held his breath, his slender fingers drawing complex trajectories in the air, and his spiritual power wrapped around the restriction like a silk thread, trying to break it.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead. Every movement she made was precise and slow, not daring to make the slightest mistake.
Nong Jin stood guard beside her vigilantly, his golden eyes scanning the surroundings, ready to respond to any sudden danger at any time.
With a light "click", Yan Yue successfully broke a restriction.
But at the same time, a shrill alarm sounded throughout the passage, and the originally dark passage was instantly shrouded in dazzling red light.
"Not good!" Yan Yue's face changed. She knew that she had accidentally triggered the alarm.
Almost at the same time, a green light flashed, and Gu Feng's figure appeared at the entrance of the passage.
He stared at Yan Yue and Nong Jin with a sharp gaze, his tone icy: "You are indeed here!"
The situation was critical, and Yan Yue quickly re-sealed the broken restriction in an attempt to cover up his whereabouts.
However, Gu Feng has already discovered their existence, so how could he let them go easily?
He swung the sword in his hand, and a sharp sword energy came straight towards Yan Yue.
Nong Jin flashed and stood in front of Yan Yue. Golden spiritual power surged around him, forming an indestructible barrier that blocked the sword energy.
"Your opponent is me!" Nong Jin's lips curled up into a wild smile, his eyes flashing with fighting spirit. He deliberately revealed a flaw to attract Gu Feng's attention.
Gu Feng was fooled. A trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, and he thought Nong Jin was nothing special.
He swung his sword again, the sword energy even more fierce, pointing directly at Nong Jin's weakness... Nong Jin's eyes flashed with cunning, he...
A hint of cunning flashed in Nong Jin's eyes. He did not take Gu Feng's attack head-on, but instead shook his body and disappeared on the spot like a ghost.
Gu Feng's sword missed and he was secretly shocked. He was about to look around for Nong Jin, but he saw a golden light coming from the side.
Nong Jin's speed was astonishingly fast, like a golden lightning, shuttling through the passage.
He deliberately exposed his flaws to lure Gu Feng into chasing him, but he cleverly dodged at the critical moment, making it impossible for Gu Feng to capture his true identity.
"A mere trifle!" Gu Feng shouted angrily. He realized that he had been led away by Nong Jin and was extremely angry.
He swung the sword in his hand more rapidly, and the sword energy crisscrossed, cutting deep marks on the surrounding stone walls.
While dealing with Gu Feng's attack, Nong Jin also had to cleverly lead him away from Yan Yue.
The surrounding trees were knocked down by the impact of their spiritual power, and the small animals watching were frightened and fled in all directions.
Nong Jin sometimes turned into a golden light, and sometimes hid in the shadows, playing with Gu Feng like playing with prey.
"You despicable villain!" Gu Feng was furious. He was a descendant of an ancient family, but he was fooled around by a seemingly wild and unruly Immortal Emperor. This made him lose all face.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Nong Jin's lips. He ignored Gu Feng's curses and continued to use his "guerrilla tactics" to lead Gu Feng to a farther place.
"Want to escape? Not that easy!" Gu Feng roared, his spiritual power surged, his speed increased suddenly, and he closely chased Nong Jin's figure.
At this time, Yan Yue was concentrating on breaking the restrictions in the passage.
Her slender fingers danced in the air, and complex runes flowed at her fingertips.
Memories of her past life flooded into her mind like a tide, helping her quickly find the key to breaking the ban.
"Click, click..." With a series of soft sounds, the restrictions in the passage were broken one by one by Yan Yue.
She advanced cautiously, her heart filled with excitement.
Ahead is where the spiritual source lies!
Suddenly, Yan Yue felt a powerful spiritual energy fluctuation coming from the depths of the passage. She was startled and stopped, muttering to herself, "This power..."
Yan Yue held his breath, and the runes flowing on his fingertips became more and more complex, like stars twinkling in the night sky.
The restrictions peeled off layer by layer in front of her, like old clothes, revealing the secrets hidden behind them.
Fine beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, but she didn't bother to wipe them away, and her eyes sparkled with excitement.
The memories of her past life have now become her most powerful weapon, guiding her towards the depths of her spiritual source.
The passage is winding like a sleeping dragon, and Yan Yue is the brave explorer, approaching the heart of the dragon step by step.
She was thinking about Nong Jin, the sunny and wild man who was fighting with Gu Feng for her at this moment.
Although she was worried, she believed more in Nong Jin's strength.
There is no need for them to say much; just a glance is enough for them to understand each other's intentions.
This kind of tacit understanding and trust is particularly precious between life and death, and it also makes their feelings deeper and as indestructible as a rock.
"Jin, you must be careful." Yan Yue prayed silently in his heart, but his steps became more determined.
She knew that only by getting closer to Lingyuan as soon as possible could she live up to Nong Jin's efforts.
The spiritual energy in the passage became increasingly dense, almost solidifying into substance, making Yan Yue feel relaxed all over.
She greedily breathed in the pure spiritual energy, and the spiritual power in her body began to circulate, silently improving her cultivation.
Playing the fool and eating the tiger is her best disguise at the moment. Only by hiding her strength can she give the enemy a fatal blow at the critical moment.
"It's almost there..." Yan Yue was secretly happy. The breath of Lingyuan became clearer and clearer, as if it was right in front of him.
She quickened her pace, passed the last restriction, and the scene before her suddenly opened up.
A huge cave appeared in front of Yan Yue. In the center of the cave, a sphere emitting brilliant light was suspended in the air, illuminating the entire cave like a night pearl.
That is the spiritual source, the source of infinite power.
Yan Yue's gaze was deeply attracted by Ling Yuan. She almost forgot to breathe, her eyes full of desire.
Just as she stepped towards the spiritual source, a sharp bird cry broke the silence of the cave.
"Chirp—"
A giant spirit bird flew out from the depths of the cave, its wings spread out, blocking out the sky. Its sharp eyes stared at Yan Yue and it let out a warning cry.
Yan Yue's heart trembled, he looked up at the aggressive spirit bird, and slowly drew out the dagger from his waist... The appearance of the spirit bird undoubtedly brought new challenges to Yan Yue.
It was huge, with its wings spread out almost covering the entire top of the cave. Its feathers gleamed with a metallic luster, and its sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through all disguises.
Yan Yue felt a powerful pressure that made it almost impossible for her to breathe.
This spirit bird was far more powerful than any opponent she had encountered before.
But she didn't back down.
The tragic death in her previous life made her understand that in the world of immortal cultivation, the only way to survive is to become stronger.
What's more, Nong Jin is still fighting hard for her outside, and she can't let him down.
Yan Yue took a deep breath, held the dagger across his chest, and a determined look flashed in his eyes.
Playing the fool and eating the tiger is her usual trick, but at this moment, she knows that she must show her true strength.
Her cultivation in the early stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm is her hidden trump card and her only reliance in fighting against the Spirit Bird.
The spirit bird seemed to sense the fighting spirit emanating from Yan Yue. It let out a sharp cry and flapped its huge wings suddenly. A strong wind swept over, making Yan Yue's clothes rustle.
It swooped down, its sharp claws like steel knives, going straight for Yan Yue's throat.
"Good timing!" Yan Yue shouted, and with a flash of her body, she dodged the attack of the spirit bird. The dagger in her hand flashed with a cold light, piercing the spirit bird's abdomen.
"Clang!" There was a sound of metal clashing, and the dagger collided with the feathers of the spirit bird, splashing a string of sparks.
The feathers of the spirit bird were so hard that Yan Yue’s dagger couldn’t penetrate them!
The spirit bird let out an angry cry and pounced on Yan Yue again.
Yan Yue knew that fighting head-on was not the best strategy and he had to outsmart them.
While dodging the attacks of the spirit bird, she observed the environment inside the cave, looking for a breakthrough.
Suddenly, her eyes fell on a stalactite on the top of the cave... "Maybe, we can give it a try..." Yan Yue showed a sly smile at the corner of her mouth, and her figure flashed as she ran towards the stalactite.
