Chapter 161 Breaking through obstacles and exploring dangerous paths
The moment Bi Yao's fingers touched the barrier, a powerful rebound force pushed her back several steps.
Li Yuan was quick to support her.
"Are you okay?" he asked with concern, a hint of worry in his tone.
Bi Yao shook his head, frowning, staring at the barrier in front of him that was emitting a faint blue light.
"The energy of this barrier is extraordinary," Bi Yao pondered, "It is not an ordinary defensive formation." Li Yuan also tried to attack the barrier with spiritual power, but the result was the same as Bi Yao's. The spiritual power disappeared without a trace, like a drop in the ocean. The barrier didn't even have a ripple.
"It seems that brute force won't work," Li Yuan retracted his hand and touched his chin habitually, "We have to think of other ways." As soon as he finished speaking, the blue light on the barrier suddenly intensified, and a powerful pressure came overwhelmingly, making it almost impossible for the two to breathe.
The air around seemed to be frozen, without even a trace of wind.
Bi Yao and Li Yuan looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
The barrier's counterattack was so swift and fierce that it was obvious that it was not a dead object, but more like a being with independent consciousness.
As time went on, the pressure grew stronger and stronger, and the circulation of the spiritual power in the two people became sluggish.
Sweat dripped from Bi Yao's forehead. She clenched her teeth and tried hard to resist the powerful pressure.
Li Yuan's condition was not much better. He was pale and breathing rapidly. It was obvious that he was about to collapse.
They tried various methods, activated different spells, and even sacrificed their own life-saving magic weapons, but to no avail.
The barrier was like an insurmountable mountain, standing firmly in front of them.
The two men were like trapped animals, bound by this invisible cage and unable to move.
"We can't go on like this..." Li Yuan uttered a few words with difficulty, his voice hoarse.
Bi Yao's face became paler, but there was a glimmer of determination in her eyes.
Just when the two were about to despair, Bi Yao's eyes suddenly lit up...
"Wait!" She suddenly grabbed Li Yuan's arm, "I seem to..."
Bi Yao suddenly remembered the insights she had gained from the ancient formation. The formation diagram was complex and difficult to understand, but she vaguely felt that it contained some kind of rules, which seemed to have something in common with the barrier in front of her.
"Wait!" She suddenly grabbed Li Yuan's arm, her eyes shining, "I think I thought of something!"
She quickly circulated the spiritual power in her body according to the trajectory of the ancient formation, and her fingertips quickly formed a series of complicated hand seals.
As the last hand seal was completed, a dazzling golden light shot out from her fingertips and accurately hit an inconspicuous corner of the barrier.
That is the weak point of the barrier!
Seeing this, Li Yuan immediately understood Bi Yao's intention.
Without saying a word, he gathered all his spiritual power into his palm and struck at the weak point pointed out by Bi Yao.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the barrier shook violently, and cracks spread like a spider web.
The blue light flickered, and the barrier seemed to sense the threat, and the pressure increased again, trying to stop the attacks of the two.
Li Yuan groaned, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
The barrier's counterattack was too powerful and he suffered internal injuries.
"Li Yuan!" Bi Yao's heart tightened when she saw this.
She quickly supported Li Yuan, took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, her eyes full of worry.
"I'm fine," Li Yuan held Bi Yao's hand and gave her a reassuring smile, "It's just a minor injury, don't worry." Although his voice was weak, it was firm and powerful, which gradually calmed Bi Yao's originally panicked heart.
As they continued their attack, the cracks in the barrier became more numerous and larger.
The faint blue light also began to dim, like a candle that was about to go out.
Victory is at hand!
Just when they thought they could break through the barrier, Li Yuan suddenly sensed a strange aura...
He suddenly protected Bi Yao behind him, looked behind the barrier vigilantly, and whispered, "Be careful!" Just when they thought they could break through the barrier, several black shadows emerged from the barrier, carrying a cold murderous aura, and rushed towards the two of them.
These guardian spirits resemble ferocious beasts, but are surrounded by rich spiritual energy and are far more powerful than ordinary monsters.
Li Yuan groaned, suppressing the pain as he protected Bi Yao behind him, saying in a low voice, "Be careful, these guys are not easy to deal with!"
Bi Yao's eyes flashed, and he quickly formed seals with his hands. A golden shield enveloped the two of them.
The guardian spirit's attack hit the shield, making a deafening roar. The shield shook violently, but it remained strong and unbreakable.
Bi Yao took a deep breath and analyzed the battle situation calmly.
These guardian spirits attack fiercely, but seem to lack wisdom and can only attack recklessly.
"Li Yuan, attack their weak point, the red line under the left shoulder!" While maintaining the shield, Bi Yao keenly captured the guardian spirit's weakness.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuan attacked without hesitation. The long sword in his hand turned into a stream of light and accurately stabbed the guardian spirit's left shoulder.
With just a shrill roar, the guardian spirit that was hit instantly turned into black smoke and dissipated.
With Bi Yao's guidance, Li Yuan's attack efficiency was greatly improved.
He was agile and had sharp sword moves. He moved among the guardian spirits like a ghost, and could take away a guardian spirit with every attack.
The number of guardian spirits gradually decreased, and the blue light of the barrier became dimmer.
Finally, as the last guardian spirit dissipated, the barrier shattered, revealing a mysterious area behind it, emitting a strange light.
The two looked at each other and saw excitement and anticipation in each other's eyes.
Li Yuan reached out to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "It seems that we are lucky." Bi Yao smiled slightly and was about to step in, but was suddenly stopped by Li Yuan.
He pointed ahead with a serious expression and whispered, "Wait, look..."
In the originally empty area, intricate spiritual channels appeared at some point, extending into the unknown depths like a maze.
Each passage emits a different light, making it difficult to tell the direction.
"It seems that the real test has just begun..." Li Yuan sighed lightly and held Bi Yao's hand tightly.
Bi Yao's eyes fell on the passages that were flashing with strange lights, and suddenly an inexplicable premonition arose in her heart, as if something was calling her.
She held Li Yuan's hand and said firmly, "Let's go." The two smiled at each other and stepped into this spiritual passage full of unknowns together.
"This... this is..." Li Yuan's voice stopped abruptly.
