Chapter 249 New Dangers and Deceptions Emerge
In the distance, powerful spiritual energy fluctuations swept in like a tsunami, impacting Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye's nerves wave after wave.
A suffocating sense of oppression filled the air, as if the whole world was trembling.
Jiang Ye subconsciously clenched his fists, his palms slightly sweaty.
He felt a strong sense of unease welling up inside him, as devastating as discovering before an exam that he had misread all the key points in his study materials.
He tried to remain calm.
The surrounding air became restless, and the leaves rustled like a flock of startled birds scattering in all directions.
Even the normally gentle sunlight became dazzling at this moment, as if foreshadowing some ominous sign.
As the spiritual energy fluctuations approached, a massive vortex of spiritual energy appeared out of thin air.
It spun and tumbled, like a giant eye, coldly watching Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.
An eerie light flickered at the center of the vortex, as if leading to another unknown world.
Ye Shuli tried to use her spiritual power to probe the inside of the vortex, but it was as if she had hit an invisible wall and was bounced back by a powerful force.
"What the heck! What's going on?" she couldn't help but exclaim, her heart filled with doubt and worry.
This power was incredibly strong, far exceeding any opponent she had ever encountered before.
The vortex spun faster and faster, and the surrounding trees began to shake violently. Some smaller branches were even directly pulled into the vortex and instantly turned into dust.
"What...what is this thing?" Jiang Ye's voice trembled slightly. He felt his heart racing, as if it was about to leap out of his chest.
Ye Shuli frowned, staring at the vortex. She felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if something terrible was about to emerge from the vortex.
"Wait..." Jiang Ye suddenly remembered something and abruptly looked up. "Lili, don't you think..."
"Lili, don't you think... the way this spiritual energy fluctuation is a bit like the way that old man, the guardian of the inheritance, attacked us before?" Jiang Ye spoke quickly, afraid that if he was a second late, he and Ye Shuli would be sucked into this strange vortex.
Upon hearing this, Ye Shuli's heart stirred.
Yup!
The old man's attack method was quite peculiar; the frequency of his spiritual energy circulation was different from ordinary people. Could this vortex also be...?
She immediately focused her mind and tried to mobilize the spiritual power within her body according to the way the guardian of her heritage operated, as she remembered it.
A fantasy version of "copy and paste" has begun!
Sure enough, a miracle happened!
When her spiritual energy vibrated at a specific frequency, the surrounding spiritual energy vortex seemed to be disturbed, and its rotation speed actually slowed down slightly.
The originally violent suction force became much gentler, like a tornado suddenly turning into an electric fan.
"Wow! It really works!" Jiang Ye jumped up excitedly, like a child who got a perfect score on a test.
He was so excited that he wanted to award Ye Shuli a "Nobel Prize in Metaphysics" right away.
However, before he could finish gloating, a sudden change occurred!
"Boo! Hah! Hah!"
Several spiritual energy attacks, imbued with terrifying power, suddenly shot out from the vortex like arrows, heading straight for Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye.
"Watch out!" Ye Shuli exclaimed, quickly raising a spiritual energy shield in front of her.
Jiang Ye reacted quickly, rolling over to hide behind a large tree, not forgetting to complain, "Seriously? A sneak attack? Have you no shame!"
The spiritual energy attack slammed into Ye Shuli's shield, producing a deafening roar.
The surrounding ground was cracked open by the powerful impact, and the cracks spread out like a spider web.
If Ye Shuli hadn't been so strong, she would probably have been riddled with holes.
Not far away, a figure watched this side curiously. It was the barrier spirit guarding the barrier, tilting its head, seemingly very interested in the fierce battle in front of it.
The attacks came wave after wave, seemingly without end.
Ye Shuli's spiritual energy shield began to crack, and the situation became increasingly precarious.
"This can't go on, we have to think of a way!" Ye Shuli gritted her teeth, her eyes burning with determination.
She stared intently at the vortex that was constantly unleashing spiritual energy attacks, trying to find a breakthrough.
Suddenly, a glint flashed in her eyes...
"I've noticed these attacks..." "I've noticed these attacks seem to have a fixed rhythm!" Ye Shuli's voice wasn't loud, but amidst the noisy roar, it struck Jiang Ye like a bolt of lightning.
Ye Shuli's eyes were like torches, fixed on the vortex of spiritual energy, capturing every subtle change in the attack.
She seemed to transform into a precise metronome, searching for the only chance of survival amidst the hail of bullets.
A second before the next wave of attacks came, she suddenly withdrew her shield and her figure flashed like a ghost.
"It's now!"
She let out a delicate shout, and all the spiritual energy in her body instantly condensed and gathered in her right hand.
Those slender hands, at this moment, seemed to contain the power to create the world.
"Get him for me!"
Ye Shuli's spiritual power surged out like a flood bursting its banks, condensing in the air into a giant spiritual power hand. With an invincible aura, it reached into the ever-rotating vortex of spiritual power.
"boom!"
A deafening roar, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, made people's eardrums ache.
The vortex of spiritual energy trembled violently, as if it were being choked by an invisible hand.
The originally violent energy has now become docile, like a tamed wild beast.
All attacks came to an abrupt halt.
Jiang Ye stared in disbelief at the scene before him, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.
He never expected that Ye Shuli would be so fierce, directly reaching into the enemy's lair and striking at its very core!
"Lili, you...you're a real monster!" Jiang Ye offered his knees without hesitation, his eyes filled with admiration and adoration. "I declare that you are my eternal god!"
Ye Shuli slowly withdrew her spiritual power, and the giant spiritual power hand also dissipated.
She was breathing slightly heavily, and fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, clearly indicating that the attack had consumed a lot of her spiritual energy.
Jiang Ye hurriedly ran over, carefully brushing the dust off Ye Shuli's face from the battle with his sleeve, and asked in a cheeky tone, "Lili, are you alright? Are you hurt? Do you want me to massage your shoulders and legs?"
Ye Shuli was amused by his attentive manner, and her cheeks flushed slightly.
She gave Jiang Ye a reproachful look, but her eyes held a hint of shyness and joy.
This feeling of fighting side by side on the brink of life and death, relying on each other, made her feel incredibly safe and warm.
A hint of ambiguity filled the air, easing the tense atmosphere somewhat.
"Yezi, you said..." Ye Shuli stared at the vortex that had stopped spinning, feeling that something was wrong.
The vortex appeared calm, but it was like a lurking beast, ready to bare its fangs at any moment.
She began to reflect on that attack, which seemed like a narrow victory but was actually full of luck.
If I hadn't happened to have a grasp of how the guardian of the inheritance circulated spiritual energy, I probably would have been blasted into dust by now.
"No, I can't be careless," Ye Shuli silently warned herself.
This spirit realm is fraught with danger; a single misstep could lead to utter destruction.
She must improve her skills as soon as possible in order to gain a foothold in this cruel world.
Thinking of this, a hint of hesitation appeared on Ye Shuli's face.
She worried that she couldn't fully control the inheritance she had just acquired, like a newbie trying to challenge a boss with a beginner's gift pack, which was a bit too much for her.
Jiang Ye noticed the change in Ye Shuli's expression, and he knew she must be worried about something again.
So he took her hand without hesitation, giving her strength and support through his actions.
"Lili, don't be afraid! No matter what happens, I'll be with you!" Jiang Ye's eyes were firm and gentle, as if they could dispel all the gloom.
Ye Shuli felt the warmth from her palm, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
She knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead, as long as Jiang Ye was by her side, she would be fearless.
Just as the two were immersed in this rare moment of warmth, another unexpected event occurred!
The vortex of spiritual energy, which had stopped spinning, suddenly started spinning violently again, faster and more powerful than before.
The entire space began to shake violently, as if it were about to collapse.
"Damn it! Is this never going to end?!" Jiang Ye couldn't help but swear. This spirit realm was just too troublesome, even more troublesome than Aunt Flo.
What's even more chilling is that a sinister and terrifying laugh could be heard coming from the violently spinning vortex.
The laughter was sharp and piercing, like the wailing of a vengeful ghost, sending chills down one's spine.
"Jie Jie Jie Jie..."
Laughter echoed around them as Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye stood ready.
