#449 - Cangli's Strength
Despite her best efforts to counterattack, Zhong Wuye was still no match for the relentless and savage onslaught of the Taotie.
Just as she was on the verge of succumbing, a figure suddenly flashed through the air, like a crane descending from the sky. With a palm strike, it unleashed a wave of force that scattered the Taotie's overwhelming field of fiery energy.
It was Cang Li, clad in a long blue cloth robe, his white hair dancing in the wind. With an air of elegance and detachment, he possessed the venerable bearing of an immortal. His movements were ethereal, his cloud-stepping gait traversing the realm of agility. His mere serene arrival spoke volumes of his unparalleled, reclusive grandeur.
Zhong Wuye was overjoyed.
Indeed, Elder Cang Li's every move was precise and unerring, his inner strength unfathomable, his true energy gentle and smooth, reminiscent of an ancient and timeless art. In an instant, the Taotie's repertoire of demonic techniques was overshadowed, faltering and retreating in disarray.
Elder Cang Li said as he fought, "Do not linger here, everyone. I will create an opportunity for you to evacuate as soon as possible!"
Sure enough, with a wave of his hand, he unleashed a gentle vortex of swirling clouds, effortlessly drawing the Taotie away from Zhong Wuye and the others.
Zhong Wuye and her companions seized the opportunity to leave the city gate. Elder Cang Li gestured, and a group of young disciples escorted them on their way. The scenes along the road were horrific, with traces of destruction caused by the rampaging Nightmares, a truly appalling sight.
However, whenever they encountered demonic creatures, Elder Cang Li would always point a finger, easily dispelling the danger, and finally, the group safely arrived at the gates of the Pivot Academy.
At this moment, the gates of the Pivot Academy were wide open, and the sounds of clashing steel echoed from within, indicating a fierce battle was taking place. When Zhong Wuye and the others finally rushed through the gates, they were met with a scene of intense melee!
Groups of elders, sect leaders, and disciples were stationed inside and outside the gates, painstakingly battling a horde of demonic creatures.
These demonic creatures were grotesque and twisted, their features distorted, their bodies covered in fur, frantically tearing at the city gates, desperately trying to break through the Pivot Academy's defenses. The disciples and others who were fighting back were overwhelmed, desperately trying to stop the demonic creatures' advance.
A young sect leader unleashed his inner force at close range, injuring two demonic creatures internally, causing external backlash.
Just then, Elder Cang Li led Zhong Wuye and the others slowly through the gate, and a group of academicians immediately stepped forward to welcome them.
"Elder Cang Li's intervention is truly extraordinary!" The speaker was none other than Elder Yu Yaoheng, the sect leader, who immediately greeted Cang Li with cupped hands.
Cang Li responded calmly, "Our academy is under siege, so naturally, I must do my duty. I have come to help today and temporarily escort Zhong Wuye and her companions to stay here. You must ensure their safety."
Yu Yaoheng glanced at Zhong Wuye and the others, then respectfully returned the greeting and turned his full attention to defending the gate.
Zhong Wuye was led into the academy, and before she could admire the magnificent scenery, a peculiar rectangular domed experience pod came into view. A young attendant told her that this was the magical "Virtual Realm" created by the sect leader's unique skills. Once inside, one could use thought commands to control the energy within the pod, transforming reality into illusion, entering the realm, and experiencing a physically interactive augmented reality.
In the sky above the plaza, the Heavenly Abyss Barrier protecting the Pivot Academy was trembling slightly, and an aura of solemnity swept over them. Zhong Wuye shivered and her expression turned serious, "The demonic army has begun to approach!"
She soared into the air, flew over the arched gate of the plaza, and looked out at the battle outside the academy. She saw black mist gradually rising in the sky, and waves of demonic power surged continuously towards the barrier, colliding and impacting it madly. The cracks were gradually widening, and a breach could occur at any moment!
Zhong Wuye gritted her teeth and couldn't help but unleash a hand blade in the void, and a lightning-like sword light suddenly burst out, splitting the oncoming black mist one after another. "It's time to break through the encirclement and show these demons what we're made of!"
She spun around and landed back in the plaza, waving her hand to summon a Yuan Shen Sword, its blade as black as ink and its edge faintly emanating a chilling air. "Dark Wind Carves Jade Sword Technique, Yuan Shen Slash!"
Zhong Wuye concentrated all her attention and took a step forward, and the long sword in her hand instantly transformed into dozens of shadow swords, shooting towards the densest area of the demonic mist. After a deafening roar, the black mist scattered, revealing a gap cut out in the center.
"The Pivot Academy's defense line is exposed!" she shouted, forming a hand seal with one hand, and a large vortex of fire phoenixes surged from her palm, sealing the gap.
Instantly, the roars of the demonic army echoed from all directions like wolves howling, and thousands of black rays shot out from the sea of mist, bombarding the Pivot Academy's city gate with indomitable force!
She remained calm, forming hand seals with both hands, and the Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams array under her feet suddenly lit up, and a translucent force field罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩罩聽
She looked at the mask in her hand, stained with blood, and finally understood that what she had been receiving all these years was the legacy from this supreme master.
It was just a pity that her teacher had exhausted his strength and failed in his duty, his grand aspirations unfulfilled, and he had perished before her eyes.
Just as Zhong Wu Ye was overwhelmed with grief, Tana gently took her hand and said, "Let's go first. We must live on to avenge our teacher's supreme hatred!"
Zhong Wu Ye was filled with sorrow, but the tragic scene after the bloody battle roused her spirits.
She tightly clenched the mask in her hand, gritted her teeth, and with a firm resolve, turned and disappeared into the other end of the passage leading to the secret path.
