A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

Ye Shuli felt a chill creep over her, but she gritted her teeth and forcefully stopped the urge to retreat.

No, absolutely not!

Jiang Ye is still holding the line, how can she let her down at this crucial moment?

"Jiang Ye, you absolutely have to hang in there!"

She shook her head violently, trying to clear her mind of all distractions.

Now is not the time to feel sorry for him; we must find a breakthrough to truly help him!

Ye Shuli forced herself to calm down, her beautiful eyes flashing with a sharp light as she stared intently at the constantly trembling black protective shield in front of her.

Streaks of black lightning, like venomous snakes baring their fangs, frantically lunged at Jiang Ye.

These attacks... seem so familiar!

Ye Shuli frowned, her mind racing.

The energy fluctuations from these attacks seem familiar.

correct!

It is the power of fate!

She had personally experienced the strangeness and power of this force during the fateful duel.

"Could it be that……"

A bold guess popped into Ye Shuli's mind.

This protective shield was very likely constructed by the power of destiny!

Moreover, the patterns of these attacks are very similar to some of the traps encountered in the Fate Showdown!

"Yezi, come back!" Ye Shuli shouted loudly, while quickly analyzing the operating pattern of the protective shield.

She discovered that the attacks of these black lightning bolts were not random, but rather carried out in a specific rhythm.

"Li'er, I'm fine! I can still hold on!" Jiang Ye wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, grinned, and revealed two rows of white teeth.

That smile, so bright it looked like a fool's, made Ye Shuli's heart clench even tighter.

"Don't be reckless! Listen to me, come back!" Ye Shuli said firmly. "These attacks have a rhythmic pattern. If you do as I say, you can dodge them!"

Although Jiang Ye didn't know what Ye Shuli had discovered, he had absolute trust in her.

He took a deep breath and, following Ye Shuli's instructions, began to adjust his attack methods and evasion routes.

"Left side, quick!"

"Right side, crouch down!"

"Stop! Don't move!"

Ye Shuli's voice, like a precise navigation system, guided Jiang Ye through the dense black lightning.

At first, Jiang Ye was a bit flustered, but gradually, he actually adapted to the rhythm and began to dodge attacks with ease.

"Holy crap! Li'er, you're amazing! How could you figure that out?" Jiang Ye exclaimed excitedly, his voice filled with disbelief.

"Stop talking nonsense and concentrate!" Ye Shuli said irritably, but a smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.

This guy is actually quite reliable when it matters.

After some attempts, Ye Shuli finally found a weak point in the protective shield.

The energy fluctuations in that place were clearly different from those in other places, suggesting that there was some kind of defect.

"Yezi, that's it! Attack that spot!" Ye Shuli shouted, pointing to a location on the protective shield.

Without hesitation, Jiang Ye turned his sword around, concentrated all his spiritual power on it, and slashed fiercely at the spot Ye Shuli pointed to.

"Break it for me!"

A dazzling sword light, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, slammed into the protective shield.

"Crack!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and a tiny crack appeared on the protective shield.

"It works!" Ye Shuli clenched her fist excitedly.

She dared not relax for a moment and immediately mobilized all her spiritual power to launch an even more ferocious attack on the crack.

One after another, powerful attacks poured down like a storm, relentlessly assaulting the protective shield.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!"

The cracks grew larger and denser, covering the entire protective shield like a spider web.

"Yezi, let's go too!" Ye Shuli shouted loudly.

Jiang Ye had already made preparations.

He took a deep breath and released his spiritual power without reservation, merging it with Ye Shuli's power.

The combined power of the two, like two rushing rivers, merged into an even more turbulent torrent, violently surging towards the protective shield.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the entire protective shield collapsed completely, turning into countless fragments that dissipated into the air.

"Success!"

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye couldn't help but cheer, their faces showing relieved smiles.

Without the protective shield blocking their view, the two were finally able to clearly see the true nature of the energy core.

It was a huge black crystal, emanating a chilling aura of darkness.

“This is it!” Ye Shuli said with a determined look in her eyes.

"What do we do next? Just smash it?" Jiang Ye asked, rubbing his hands together, looking eager to try.

“It’s not that simple…” Ye Shuli shook her head, her gaze fixed on the energy core, her brows furrowed, as if she were deep in thought.

"This thing isn't so easy to deal with. Let me think..." she muttered to herself, the details of the fateful duel flashing through her mind...

"Li'er, what are you looking at?" Jiang Ye asked in confusion.

Ye Shuli didn't answer, but simply reached out and gently touched the energy core. Suddenly, as if realizing something, she abruptly raised her head, looked at Jiang Ye, and said seriously, "Yezi, do you think there's a possibility..."

"What's possible?" Jiang Ye asked, puzzled.

Ye Shuli slowly said, "Is it possible that we've been wrong all along, and that what we're facing is more than just destruction..."

"But..."

She didn't continue speaking, but closed her eyes, seemingly sensing something. After a moment, she suddenly opened her eyes, a strange light flashing within them, and looked towards the energy core, slowly reaching out her hand… Chapter 454 Breaking Through the Source to Stop Calamity, Ultimately Victory Determines Fate

She didn't continue speaking, but closed her eyes, as if sensing something.

The surroundings were eerily quiet, with only the black crystal—no, the energy core—emitting a faint yet nauseating aura of darkness.

A moment later, she suddenly opened her eyes, a strange light flashing within them, and looked at the energy core, slowly reaching out her hand...

What is she going to do?

Jiang Ye's heart tightened, and he was about to ask a question, but Ye Shuli stopped him with a look.

That look in his eyes was firm and resolute, as if he were facing an unprecedented challenge.

"Yezi, don't speak, trust me!" Ye Shuli's voice was soft, but it carried an undeniable power.

Jiang Ye swallowed hard, and could only watch helplessly as Ye Shuli's hand slowly approached the black energy core.

The air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.

coming!

Ye Shuli took a deep breath and mobilized all the knowledge and power she had gained from the battle of fate.

Those memories that once caused her immense pain have now become her most powerful weapon.

"seal!"

She gave a low shout and slammed her palm down on the energy core.

A powerful tremor instantly spread throughout my body.

Ye Shuli felt as if ten thousand steel needles were piercing her nerves at the same time, causing her to let out a muffled groan.

"Li'er!" Jiang Ye exclaimed, wanting to rush forward to help, but was blocked by an invisible force.

"Don't come any closer! I can do it!" Ye Shuli said through gritted teeth, large beads of sweat sliding down her cheeks.

She desperately circulated the spiritual energy within her body, trying to suppress the raging dark energy.

From Ye Shuli's palm, streaks of silver light emerged, like fine threads, wrapping around the black energy core.

Those silver threads, carrying a sacred and pure power, fiercely fought against the aura of darkness.

The energy core seemed to sense the threat and began to struggle violently.

Like an enraged beast, it frantically releases the dark energy within its body, attempting to break through the seal.

Black lightning bolts erupted from the energy core, striking Ye Shuli hard.

Ye Shuli's body was like a candle flickering in the wind, teetering on the verge of collapse.

No, I can't give up!

Ye Shuli said to herself.

She knew that if the seal failed, the entire world would be plunged into utter ruin.

She couldn't let those who cared about her down!

She gritted her teeth and desperately channeled the spiritual energy within her body.

Her body began to tremble slightly, and a trickle of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.

Her face was as pale as paper, as if she might collapse at any moment.

"Ah!" Ye Shuli let out a painful roar; her body had almost reached its limit.

"Li'er!" Jiang Ye felt as if his heart was being torn apart; he wished he could take all of Ye Shuli's pain upon himself.

He knew he couldn't go over there; he couldn't disturb Ye Shuli's seal.

All he could do was silently support her and give her strength.

He held Ye Shuli's hand tightly, continuously transferring his spiritual power to her.

His spiritual power, like warm sunshine, dispelled the cold and pain in Ye Shuli's body.

"Yezi..." Ye Shuli felt Jiang Ye's warmth and was deeply moved.

She knew she was not fighting alone.

She has Jiang Ye, friends, and family; they are all behind her, supporting her.

She took a deep breath and merged Jiang Ye's spiritual power with her own.

The combined power of the two, like two rushing rivers, converged into an even more turbulent torrent, fiercely surging towards the energy core.

With their combined efforts, the silver threads grew more numerous and denser, like a giant cocoon, completely enveloping the black energy core.

The struggle of the energy core grew weaker and weaker until finally, it stopped trembling and turned into a quiet black crystal.

"It's a success..." Ye Shuli murmured to herself, her body going limp as she collapsed into Jiang Ye's arms.

"Li'er! Are you alright?" Jiang Ye asked anxiously, holding Ye Shuli tightly, afraid that she might get hurt in the slightest.

"I'm fine, just a little tired..." Ye Shuli said weakly, but a relieved smile appeared on her face.

As the darkness subsided, the surrounding world began to change.

The originally gloomy sky gradually brightened.

The withered plants have been revitalized.

The air was filled with a fresh scent.

"We did it! We escaped the crisis of fate!" Jiang Ye shouted excitedly, hugging Ye Shuli and spinning her around several times.

Ye Shuli couldn't help but laugh. She reached out and hugged Jiang Ye tightly.

The two embraced and wept, basking in the joy of victory.

At this moment, all the pain and sacrifices became worthwhile.

They used their power to protect the world and the people they loved.

Suddenly, Ye Shuli's body trembled slightly as she sensed a strange energy fluctuation emanating from the energy core.

"Yezi, be careful!" She shoved Jiang Ye away abruptly, looking warily at the black crystal.

The crystal began to slowly rotate, emitting a series of dim lights.

The light grew stronger and brighter until it illuminated the entire space.

"This is..." Jiang Ye stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

Ye Shuli was also stunned. She stared at the black crystal.

Just then, a deep voice suddenly came from within the crystal…

"You think this is the end...?"
