Chapter 245 Successfully Defeated the Enemy
"Gloomy? I think you're just weak!" Ye Shuli retorted irritably, then her smile vanished, her beautiful eyes flashing as she surveyed the spirit palace before her.
Outside the palace, a deep passage stretched out, with visible restrictions covering it like a spider web, emanating chilling spiritual energy fluctuations.
The faintly visible trap patterns on the ground are even more chilling.
"Wow, is this some kind of giant maze?" Jiang Ye also stopped joking, scratching his head with a serious expression.
"This is much more complicated than a maze." Ye Shuli took a deep breath, raised her jade hand slightly, and slowly extended a wisp of spiritual power, touching a restriction.
Instantly, the restriction seemed to come alive, bursting out with dazzling light, as if it had triggered some kind of mechanism, and the surrounding spiritual energy also began to become violent.
"Watch out!" Jiang Ye shouted, pulling Ye Shuli behind him and scanning their surroundings warily.
A sense of danger permeated the air, like the calm before a storm.
As soon as the two stepped into the restricted passage, a silvery laugh echoed through the passage.
Immediately afterwards, a tiny, winged chibi-style figure, about the size of a palm, appeared in front of them.
It radiated a seven-colored light, blinked its big eyes, and playfully flew around them.
"Welcome to the Land of Spiritual Inheritance! If you want to receive the inheritance, play a game with me first!"
These are the forbidden spirits, the guardians of the spirit palace.
"Game? What game?" Jiang Ye looked bewildered; the sudden change in tone caught him off guard.
The forbidden spirit chuckled and pointed to the several glowing circles that had suddenly appeared on the ground, saying, "It's simple. As long as you can find the correct route within the time limit, you can pass this level! And if you fail..."
The forbidden spirit deliberately dragged out its words, its tone full of mockery, "Then stay here forever and play with me!"
Ye Shuli frowned and squatted down to carefully observe the circle of light on the ground.
These apertures appear to be random, but in fact they contain a special kind of energy fluctuation.
She tried to use her spiritual power to sense it, but found that the energy fluctuations were extremely chaotic and she couldn't tell the correct direction at all.
"How's it going? Any leads?" Jiang Ye asked anxiously from the side.
Ye Shuli shook her head, her expression somewhat unpleasant.
These restrictions were far more complex than she had imagined, and with her current strength, she simply couldn't break them.
"Am I really going to be trapped here?" Ye Shuli felt a little unwilling.
"Don't be discouraged!" Li'er's eyes were firm and full of trust, as if giving Ye Shuli endless strength.
Ye Shuli looked up at Jiang Ye's sunny face and felt a warm feeling well up in her heart.
Yes, she's not fighting alone; she has Jiang Ye!
"Thank you, Jiang Ye." Ye Shuli took a deep breath and calmed down again.
She told herself that the more critical the moment, the more she needed to stay calm.
"Let me think... The arrangement of these rings seems to contain some kind of special pattern..." Ye Shuli's brain was working at high speed, trying to find a breakthrough from these seemingly unrelated rings.
She vaguely felt that the arrangement of these apertures was somewhat similar to a mathematical model she had once learned.
"Could it be...?" A sudden flash of inspiration appeared in Ye Shuli's eyes, and a bold idea surged into her mind.
Countless formulas flashed through Ye Shuli's mind like lightning, such as the Fibonacci sequence and the golden ratio...
Finally, a bold idea took shape in her mind.
"I understand!" Ye Shuli jumped up excitedly, pointing to the circles of light on the ground, speaking rapidly, "The arrangement of these circles is actually a variant of the plum blossom matrix! As long as we follow this pattern, we can find the correct route!"
Having said that, Ye Shuli no longer hesitated, took Jiang Ye's hand, and followed the pattern of the plum blossom matrix, moving step by step through the light circle.
Every step was incredibly precise, as if it had undergone countless calculations and verifications.
The forbidden spirit's eyes widened, its playful expression instantly freezing, its little face filled with shock: "Holy crap! You guys managed to break this? Are you using cheat codes?!"
As Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye moved forward, the surrounding restrictions began to loosen, and the originally violent spiritual energy became docile.
"Yes! We did it!" Jiang Ye excitedly hugged Ye Shuli and spun her around several times, his excitement overflowing. "Li'er, you are truly my lucky goddess!"
Feeling Jiang Ye's warm embrace, Ye Shuli's face also showed a long-lost smile.
This victory not only boosted her confidence but also made her even more convinced that as long as she was with Jiang Ye, no difficulty was insurmountable.
However, just as the two were immersed in joy, a chilling aura quietly approached.
"Heh, I didn't expect that someone would actually be able to break my seal." A sinister voice echoed in the passage, and then a man in a black robe with a gloomy face appeared before them.
"A strategist from the spirit realm?" Jiang Ye frowned, immediately shielding Ye Shuli behind him and watching the newcomer warily.
"It seems you know my identity." The strategist from the spirit realm smirked wickedly. If you know what's good for you, you'd better surrender obediently, or don't blame me for being impolite!
"
Before he finished speaking, the strategist from the spirit realm formed a hand seal, and a powerful spiritual force erupted instantly, transforming into countless sharp blades that swept towards the two of them.
"Watch out!" Jiang Ye shouted, his spiritual power surging as it formed a sturdy spiritual power shield in front of him.
However, the attack from the spirit strategist was too fierce, and the shield was on the verge of collapse in an instant, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Ye Shuli was not idle either. She quickly circulated her spiritual power, trying to find the flaws in the strategist of the spirit world.
However, the attacks from the spirit world strategists were relentless and like a storm, leaving her no time to attend to anything else.
The sharp blade sliced through the air with a piercing whistling sound. The ground was riddled with holes by the impact of the spiritual energy, with rubble flying everywhere, leaving the scene in complete disarray.
Anyone else present would be amazed by the intensity of this battle.
“Something’s not right, his attack…” Ye Shuli’s beautiful eyes narrowed, as if she had discovered something. She looked at Jiang Ye, and their eyes met. In a flash, they understood each other’s thoughts.
Ye Shuli narrowed her beautiful eyes, her mind racing through a barrage of thoughts: This guy's attacks seem chaotic, but they are actually full of hidden tricks. Every attack lands ingeniously, avoiding vital points, making it impossible to defend against. Isn't this like a cat playing with a mouse, toying with its prey?
"Jiang Ye, don't try to withstand it head-on, find an opportunity to counterattack!" Ye Shuli shouted, while simultaneously channeling her spiritual power into Jiang Ye's shield to help him stabilize his position.
Jiang Ye understood immediately, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
He deliberately created an opening, leaving his chest wide open, as if to lure the strategist from the spirit world into attacking.
"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" The strategist from the spirit realm was indeed fooled. He sneered and manipulated countless sharp blades to stab fiercely at Jiang Ye's weakness.
Just as the blade was about to strike Jiang Ye, Ye Shuli moved.
She flashed and appeared behind the spirit strategist like a ghost, her jade hand clenched into a fist, all her spiritual power concentrated into one point, and she slammed it hard into his back.
"boom!"
With a muffled thud, the spirit strategist's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground and kicking up a cloud of dust.
His face turned deathly pale instantly, and a trickle of blood escaped from the corner of his mouth.
"How is this possible?!" The Spirit Realm strategist clutched his chest, struggling to stand up, only to find that all the bones in his body seemed to have fallen apart, and he was completely unable to move.
"Heh, your little tricks are no match for me." Ye Shuli slowly walked up to the Spirit Realm strategist, looking down at him.
The defeat of the strategist from the spirit realm threw the alliance of powerful beings from the spirit realm into chaos.
The powerful figures around them all showed expressions of surprise and panic, and their previous arrogance vanished without a trace.
"My strategist!"
"This...how is this possible?!"
"Quickly, protect the leader!"
In an instant, shouts and cries rose and fell, creating utter chaos.
Unlike the panic of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance, Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye were full of fighting spirit and their momentum was unstoppable.
Jiang Ye looked at Ye Shuli with eyes full of admiration and love.
He reached out and gently wiped the sweat from Ye Shuli's cheeks; the touch was delicate and smooth.
Ye Shuli's cheeks flushed slightly, and she unconsciously moved closer to Jiang Ye. The distance between them grew closer and closer, as if they could hear each other's heartbeats.
A faint, ambiguous atmosphere permeated the surrounding air.
"Li'er, you're amazing!" Jiang Ye's voice was deep and gentle, like a lover's whisper.
"That's right, don't you know whose woman I am?" Ye Shuli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident and charming smile.
This atmosphere made them temporarily forget the dangers around them, and they only had eyes for each other.
"Ye, I..." Ye Shuli whispered Jiang Ye's name, her body unconsciously leaning towards him. Just as their lips were about to touch, a cold voice suddenly interrupted their beautiful moment.
"You overconfident brat, how dare you injure my strategist!" A majestic voice boomed through the passage like thunder, making everyone's eardrums buzz.
The leader of the Spirit Realm Power Alliance finally couldn't hold back any longer and took action personally.
He wore a long robe embroidered with gold dragons, exuding a suffocating aura, like a god descending from heaven.
"Wow, this boss's entrance is accompanied by background music, how grand!" Jiang Ye complained, but he gripped Ye Shuli's hand even tighter.
Ye Shuli squeezed Jiang Ye's hand back and gave him a reassuring look.
Although the other party came on strong, she was not one to be trifled with.
The leader raised his hand and waved it, and spiritual power surged toward the two of them like a raging tide. The powerful pressure seemed to want to crush them into powder.
The surrounding air seemed compressed, making it difficult to breathe; an extremely oppressive atmosphere enveloped the entire passage.
"Li'er, hold on tight to me!" Jiang Ye roared, his spiritual power surging wildly to create a protective shield around them, resisting the overwhelming spiritual power.
Ye Shuli was equally unyielding, mobilizing all her spiritual power to reinforce the protective shield.
Even so, they still felt immense pressure, as if their bodies were being torn apart.
"Hmph, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!" The leader sneered and increased his spiritual power output once again.
The protective shield trembled violently, making a "crackling" sound, and it looked like it was about to give way.
At the critical moment, an even more powerful aura suddenly descended, instantly suppressing the leader's spiritual power.
"Who is it?!" The leader's expression changed drastically, and he looked at the newcomer with suspicion and uncertainty.
A figure clad in silver armor and wielding a giant sword slowly emerged from the depths of the passage.
His face was stern, and his eyes were deep, as if they could see through everything.
This person is the guardian of the heritage.
He stood before the sealed site of the Spirit Realm's inheritance, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd. His powerful aura permeated the entire space, sending chills down everyone's spines.
"The land of our heritage must not be desecrated."
