Lan Lao Nod nodded in agreement, quickly forming a mudra with his hands. Frost magic condensed at his fingertips as he shouted, "Ice Storm!" A blast of cold air rapidly released from his palm, forming a massive ice vortex heading straight for the giant rock Puppet.
Facing the approaching ice storm, the giant rock's arm swung violently, attempting to disperse the frost, but in doing so, it revealed a momentary vulnerability. Seeing this, Chu Yun swiftly moved into the attack range of Puppet and the Sky Thunder Sword emitted a piercing thunderous sound: "Thunderous Cut!"
A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, and the electric energy released from the tip of the sword directly struck the abdomen of the Puppet, leaving a long, fine crack on its rocky skin. However, the Puppet seemed to be insensitive to pain and quickly counterattacked, throwing a punch towards Chu Yun.
Chu Feng also joined the battle at this time, wielding his short sword and attempting to attack the Puppet from the side in an effort to distract it. His movements were agile and swift, but clearly not enough against such a huge enemy.
"Be careful, Chu Feng!" Li Jian warned from the side, while his long sword danced in his hand, releasing a series of sword energy to assist Chu Feng.
The battle continued for dozens of moves, and the giant stone Puppet gradually showed signs of fatigue, its movements becoming slower. Seeing the opportunity, Lan Lao once again used his freezing technique, this time directly freezing the lower half of the Puppet, rendering it immobile.
Chu Yun seized the opportunity, took a deep breath, and fully activated the thunder power within her body, preparing to unleash her ultimate skill: "Divine Thunder Punishment!" The electric energy gathered at the tip of her Sky Thunder Sword shone like the sun. She raised her sword and with all her might, unleashed a strike, tearing through the sky with dragon-like lightning, directly targeting the Puppet.
However, to her surprise, the giant stone Puppet managed to evade Chu Yun's ultimate attack, leading the battle to reach a new peak of intensity. The Puppet retaliated from within the ice, breaking free from the frozen state, demonstrating its astonishing recovery ability and adaptability.
Lan Lao quickly recited incantations on the side, his hand seals flashing as he summoned an even more powerful ice force, intending to completely block Puppet's movements. He shouted to Chu Yun, "Chu Yun, get ready for your next attack, I will try to delay it as much as possible!"
Chu Yun nodded, refocusing her energy, her Sky Thunder Sword once again sparkling with lightning, preparing to unleash another even more powerful skill. She glanced back at Chu Feng and Li Jian, making sure they were both in a safe position. Chu Feng was assisting other warriors, while Li Jian remained on guard, ready to provide support at any moment.
Puppet The giant rock arm swung, attempting to break Lan Lao's ice seal, each strike accompanied by a deafening roar that shook the entire battlefield. A hint of fatigue appeared on Lan Lao's face, but his gaze remained firm.
Chu Yun took a deep breath and focused all her strength, shouting to Lan Lao, "Now, Lan Lao! Give it all you've got!" Immediately, her Sky Thunder Sword unleashed the ultimate skill "Sky Thunder Shatter," with the thunder and lightning gathered at the tip of the sword forming a raging tornado, heading straight for Puppet.
Lan Lao cooperates with Chu Yun to launch his ultimate move "Extreme Ice Seal Formation," instantly bringing the entire battlefield to freezing point. Massive ice pillars rapidly grow from the ground, attempting to completely immobilize Puppet.
Puppet lets out a deafening roar, struggling to break free from the restraint. However, Chu Yun's "Sky Thunder Shattering Rock Slash" hits the target directly, triggering a series of explosions within Puppet, causing the rocks to crack and ultimately disintegrate.
After the battle, Chu Yun stood among the falling rocks, panting. She turned to Lan Lao and the other companions, smiling, and said, "Thank you. Without your help, I couldn't have completed this battle alone."
Lan Lao wiped the sweat from his forehead and replied, "It's what we should do, Chu Yun. As long as we stand united, nothing can stop us."
As the dust of battle settled, Chu Yun, Lan Lao, Chu Feng, and Li Jian regrouped at the sealing ground to assess the remaining work. While the destruction caused by the giant stone Puppet had been resolved, the stability of the seal still required urgent reinforcement.
With the dust of the battle settling, Chu Yun and her team had little time to rest. They had to quickly find the mysterious and powerful "Star-studded jade" to reinforce the seal and ensure the safety of Ten Thousand Demon Burial Valley.
Lan Lao pointed to a hidden location marked on the ancient scroll's map, situated on the western outskirts of the valley.
"According to this ancient scroll, the 'Star-studded jade' is hidden within a forgotten shrine, known as the 'vein of the heart,' which is said to be the convergence point of the entire Ten Thousand Demon Burial Valley." There was a hint of solemnity in Lan Lao's eyes, and his voice grew heavy.
Chu Yun listened attentively, knowing that this mission was far more challenging than any previous battles. She turned to Chu Feng and Li Jian, and firmly said, "We may encounter unprecedented dangers, so we must be careful every step of the way."
Chu Feng nodded with a serious expression, knowing the weight of his responsibility as a non-combatant. Li Jian checked his equipment to ensure everything was ready, then firmly responded, "No matter what difficulties we face, we will fight alongside you, Chu Yun."
The group proceeded along the winding mountain path, the surrounding scenery gradually becoming tranquil and mysterious. Giant trees formed a natural tunnel, with sunlight filtering through the leaves and dappling the ground. While the scenery was beautiful, it also evoked a sense of unease.
When they approached the location of the "vein of the heart," the spiritual energy in the air gradually became dense, and every step seemed to feel the power of the land. Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, and a powerful energy surged from underground, causing everyone to stop in their tracks.
"We're here, this is the 'vein of the heart'," Lan Lao's voice carried a hint of excitement.
Ahead, an ancient shrine covered in vines and moss gradually comes into view, appearing both solemn and mysterious. At the entrance of the shrine, there is a huge stone disc carved with ancient runes.
Chu Yun steps forward, carefully examining the runes. She murmurs, "These runes seem to be a kind of ancient protective charm, used to safeguard the 'star-studded jade' from being easily obtained by outsiders."
Lan Lao gently touched the stone slab and began chanting a spell, attempting to unravel the protective layer. The air around him started to tremble, and the entire Shrine seemed to respond to his incantations.
Just as Lan Lao was about to succeed, suddenly, a strong wind blew in from all sides, accompanied by heavy footsteps. A group of mysterious figures in black emerged from the woods, their target clear - the Star-studded jade.
"Chu Yun, prepare for battle!" Li Jian shouted, drawing his long sword and facing the oncoming enemies.
A battle to defend the "Star-studded jade" is about to begin, and every team member is ready to face the challenge.
