Chapter 215 A Clever Countermeasure, A Shocking Comeback

"Wait!" The deep, magnetic voice, carrying an undeniable authority, came from the depths of the ruins and echoed in everyone's ears.

The mastermind frowned, annoyed at being interrupted while casting his spell. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a figure slowly walking out. The figure was tall and slender, and a faint golden light surrounded him, obscuring his true appearance.

"Who are you? How dare you interfere in my affairs?" the mastermind asked in an unfriendly tone.

The person who arrived was none other than Dai Yao's close assistant—a mysterious figure.

He walked up to Dai Yao, blocking the mastermind's view, and said in a calm but slightly warning tone, "I advise you not to touch her."

The mastermind sneered, "Such arrogance! Who do you think you are?" As soon as he finished speaking, he attacked again, sending a sharp attack straight at the mysterious figure.

The speed is astonishing.

The mysterious figure remained calm and, with a simple wave of his hand, defused the attack from the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Is that all you've got?" he said with a hint of disdain.

"Interesting." A glint of light flashed in the eyes of the mastermind, clearly surprised by the mysterious figure's strength.

"Since you're courting death, don't blame me for being impolite!" He gathered his power again, preparing to launch an even stronger attack.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dai Yao secretly transmitted her voice to her fellow members: "Proceed according to plan, and be quick!"

On the surface, she pretended to be intimidated by the pressure from the mastermind behind the scenes, staggered, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. "Pfft..." Dai Yao clutched her chest, her face pale, looking like she was seriously injured.

"Is this all the ability you have? You dare to be arrogant in front of me? You're simply overestimating yourself!" The mastermind behind the scenes was even more smug when he saw Dai Yao's appearance and assumed that she was powerless to resist.

He intensified his pressure, preparing to deliver the final blow to Dai Yao.

"Yao Yao!" Upon seeing this, the mysterious figure became anxious and hurriedly tried to step forward to protect Dai Yao.

"Don't come any closer!" Dai Yao shouted weakly, stopping the mysterious figure's movements.

A sly glint flashed in her eyes, and a slight smile played on her lips as she murmured in a voice only she could hear, "The show is just beginning..."

Seeing Dai Yao swaying precariously, like a candle flickering in the wind, the mastermind behind the scenes burst into arrogant laughter: "With your skinny arms and legs, you think you can fight me? You're like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, overestimating your own strength!" He surged with spiritual energy in his hand, condensing it into a huge black skull, which he smashed down fiercely towards Dai Yao.

The skull was sinister and terrifying, exuding a suffocating aura of death, as if it would devour Dai Yao completely at any moment.

The mastermind's right-hand man also joined the attack with a sinister grin. He was ghostly and fast as lightning. A pair of sharp daggers in his hands gleamed coldly, and each move was aimed at Dai Yao's vitals.

For a moment, Dai Yao felt as if she were in a perilous situation, surrounded by dangers.

The mysterious figure was extremely anxious, wishing he could rush forward immediately to shield Dai Yao from the attack.

But he knew that Dai Yao must have her own plans, and he had to trust her.

Dai Yao's meaningful gaze earlier made him realize that what seemed like a desperate situation actually concealed a hidden secret.

He suppressed his worries and kept a close eye on the situation on the field, ready to make a move at any moment.

Dai Yao appeared disheveled and overwhelmed, but she was secretly observing the attack patterns of the mastermind and his assistants, searching for their weaknesses.

A barely perceptible sneer played at the corners of her lips, as if mocking their foolishness.

She deliberately revealed flaws to lure them in, leading them step by step into the trap she had set.

"Yao Yao!" The mysterious figure finally couldn't help but exclaim. He saw Dai Yao being struck by the mastermind behind the scenes, her body flying backward and crashing heavily to the ground, blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

"It's over!" The mastermind walked triumphantly to Dai Yao, looking down at her. "Now, what do you have to say?"

Dai Yao raised her head with difficulty, her eyes filled with mockery: "Are you... sure?"

Dai Yao's lips curled into a sly smile as she spat out a mouthful of blood and chuckled, "This is just the beginning, brother!" Before she finished speaking, the jade pendant in her hand suddenly burst into a dazzling light, and the surrounding space began to tremble violently.

"What?!" The mastermind's expression changed drastically; he then realized he had fallen into a trap.

Although Dai Yao appeared disheveled, she had actually been secretly guiding the power of the ruins!

Just as the mastermind and his assistant lowered their guard, Dai Yao suddenly launched a counterattack.

She quickly formed hand seals and chanted incantations, causing the unique terrain within the ruins to change accordingly.

The originally flat ground suddenly rose up, forming barriers that deflected some of the attacks from the mastermind and his assistants, catching them off guard and making them look like two clowns performing acrobatics.

"Holy crap! What's going on?" The mastermind's assistant exclaimed, his own attack sending him flying backward and landing face-first in the dirt.

Meanwhile, key members of their faction, while searching for the source of power, unexpectedly discovered a hidden treasure—a spirit pearl radiating seven-colored light.

This spirit pearl contains powerful energy that can enhance Dai Yao's ability to guide mysterious forces.

"Sister Yao is awesome! We found a treasure!" They excitedly handed the spirit pearl to Dai Yao.

Dai Yao took the spirit pearl, feeling the immense energy it contained, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

"It seems even the heavens are on my side!" She merged the spirit pearl into the jade pendant, making the pendant's light even more dazzling, and the surrounding space trembled even more violently.

"Oh no! This girl is about to unleash a powerful attack!" the mastermind shouted in alarm, trying to stop Dai Yao, but found himself trapped by the powerful energy fluctuations and unable to move.

Dai Yao slowly stood up, her sharp eyes sweeping over the crowd, a confident smile playing on her lips.

"Now, I'll show you true power!" She raised the jade pendant in her hand, and a powerful energy wave swept out, causing the entire ruins to tremble...

"Wait..." the mysterious figure suddenly spoke, his eyes filled with worry.

Dai Yao curled her lips into a domineering smile: "I'm about to unleash my ultimate move, everyone get out of the way!" The jade pendant shone brightly, like a small sun, illuminating the entire ruins.

The mysterious power within the ruins surged into Dai Yao's body like a dragon awakened.

Dai Yao felt as if she were in an ocean of energy, with power surging through her meridians, a feeling of indescribable comfort.

"Wuhu, take off!" she couldn't help but cheer.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, the mastermind behind the scenes turned ashen-faced and gritted his teeth as he spat out a few words: "Damn little brat!" He had originally thought victory was in his grasp, but he never expected Dai Yao to turn the tide, which made him furious.

Just then, he suddenly chuckled sinisterly: "Hmph, so what if you can channel the power of the ruins? I still have one last move!"

He suddenly pulled a black stone from his pocket. The stone was covered with strange runes and exuded a chilling aura.

"Break!" he roared, slamming the black stone hard into the ground.

The black stone landed and instantly shattered, turning into a cloud of black mist that quickly spread.

Wherever the black mist passed, the energy flow within the ruins began to become disordered, and the connection between Dai Yao and the jade pendant also became unstable.

"What's going on?" Dai Yao felt the power input suddenly become intermittent, and her expression changed.

"Haha, this 'Spirit-Eroding Stone' was carefully crafted by me, specifically to destroy energy connections! Little girl, your good luck has run out!" The mastermind behind the scenes laughed triumphantly.

Upon seeing this, the mysterious figure's expression changed drastically. He leaped forward to block Dai Yao's path and said in a deep voice, "Yao Yao, be careful!" A long sword radiating golden light suddenly appeared in his hand, its blade pointing directly at the black mist, indicating that he was ready for battle.

"Hmph, overestimating yourself!" The mastermind sneered, about to continue manipulating the black mist, when suddenly his expression froze, staring incredulously into the depths of the ruins...

"This...how is this possible?!" he exclaimed in horror.

A sly glint flashed in Dai Yao's eyes as she slowly spoke, "I forgot to tell you, I have a backup plan..." She stretched out her hand, pointing to the depths of the ruins, where a colossal figure was slowly emerging...
