Chapter 318 The Immortal Sect's Counterattack, Crisis Resolved

Wen Chen's large, warm hands offered me some comfort, but the gloom in my heart lingered.

The consequences would be unimaginable if the supply line were cut off!

I took a deep breath and tried to calm myself down.

"Wen Chen, you stay here and command, I'll go to the rear!"

His brow furrowed, his worry evident. "Yaoyao, it's too dangerous!"

"There's no time to explain!" I said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

At that moment, my mind raced as I considered what to do.

The Thunder Demon King wants to undermine China's defenses, but I'll give him a boost instead!

I immediately summoned General Zhao, Pharmacist Lin, and several elite disciples. After briefly explaining the situation, I rushed to the rear.

My heart pounded like a drum the whole way; the tense atmosphere was like an invisible net, tightly enveloping me.

From afar, I could hear deafening shouts of battle, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.

My heart sank; the situation was worse than I had imagined!

When I arrived at the rear, the scene before me made me gasp in shock.

The soldiers responsible for rear defense were in complete chaos, and Deacon Li was like an ant on a hot pan, shouting, "The demons are coming! The demons are coming! Run!" His sharp and piercing voice only added to the confusion.

"Deacon Li! Shut up!" I shouted sharply, my voice as cold as ice.

Deacon Li trembled with fright and immediately fell silent.

"General Zhao, organize the defense immediately and hold this place!" I gave the order decisively, my tone leaving no room for doubt.

"Yes!" General Zhao accepted the order and left. His upright posture and firm eyes gave me a glimmer of hope.

I turned to look at Pharmacist Lin. "Pharmacist Lin, you are in charge of treating the wounded. Make sure they are safe."

"Rest assured, Fairy Yaoguang, I will do my utmost," said Pharmacist Lin, cupping his hands in greeting. Although he was old, his eyes were filled with determination.

I took a deep breath and looked around. The demon army was advancing fiercely, and the situation was critical.

I must find a way to turn the situation around!

At this moment, Fairy Zhou, holding a long sword, walked up to me with a heroic air. "Fairy Yaoguang, your disciple is willing to fight alongside you!" Her gaze was firm, and her tone was powerful.

I looked at her, a warm feeling welling up inside me. "Alright! Let's fight the enemy together!"

Just then, a deafening roar shook the earth in the distance, and my heart sank; a sense of foreboding washed over me…

"Oh no, the Thunder Demon King has come in person!" Wen Chen's voice came from afar, tinged with anxiety.

The strong smell of blood made my throat tighten, and the deafening shouts of battle almost tore my eardrums apart.

In the distance, the Thunder Demon King's arrogant laughter was as piercing as a sharp knife, stabbing viciously into my heart.

Damn!

He actually came in person!

I gripped the sword tightly, my knuckles turning white, and my palms sweating profusely.

General Zhao's situation was not optimistic. His armor was stained red with blood, making him look like a blood-soaked lion, charging left and right amidst the demons' encirclement.

He brandished his long sword, each strike carrying the spirit of a desperate gamble, but the enemy was too numerous, and he gradually found himself struggling.

I saw that he had another wound, and blood was gushing out. My heart clenched.

"Fairy Yaoguang, General Zhao can't hold on much longer!" Fairy Zhou cried out anxiously. Her voice trembled with tension, and her hand holding the sword shook slightly, but her eyes were unusually firm.

Just then, a soldier covered in blood stumbled over, his face pale and lips trembling. He pointed behind him and said, "Fairy... Fairy... Pharmacist Lin... he..."

"What happened to Pharmacist Lin?" My heart sank, and an ominous premonition surged into my mind.

"Pharmacist Lin... he's surrounded by demons! Medicine, medicine too..." Before the soldier could finish speaking, he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

My vision went black for a moment, and I almost lost my balance.

Pharmacist Lin!

drug!

If the medicine falls into the hands of the demons, the consequences will be unimaginable!

I bit my tongue hard to keep myself awake.

No, I can't panic!

I have to find a way!

"Fairy Zhou, take some people to support Pharmacist Lin!" I tried my best to remain calm, but my voice still trembled slightly.

“But… Fairy, we don’t have enough manpower…” Fairy Zhou looked troubled.

I gripped the sword tightly, my nails digging deep into my flesh, barely feeling the pain.

My brain was racing, desperately trying to think of a solution.

Suddenly, my gaze fell on the Thunder Demon King in the distance.

He was standing on a high place, looking at us triumphantly, as if victory was already in his grasp.

A bold idea suddenly flashed through my mind...

A crazy, desperate idea...

“Fairy Zhou,” I took a deep breath and said firmly, “we will not disperse our forces.”

"Not disperse your forces?" Fairy Zhou looked at me with a puzzled expression.

“That’s right,” a cold smile crept across my lips, “we’ll concentrate our forces and attack the Thunder Demon King’s main army!”

"What?!" Fairy Zhou's eyes widened as she looked at me in disbelief.

"Fairy Yaoguang, have you gone mad?!" Deacon Li reappeared, his face deathly pale and his voice trembling. "How could we possibly be a match for the Thunder Demon King?! You're committing suicide!"

I gave him a cold glance and ignored his nagging.

Fear is like a plague; it spreads rapidly and erodes people's spirits.

I must make an example of him!

"General Zhao!" I shouted sternly.

"Your subordinate is here!" General Zhao's voice was loud and powerful, like a thunderclap, instantly drowning out Deacon Li's cries.

"Deacon Li has disrupted the morale of the army, execute him!" I said coldly, without the slightest hesitation.

Without hesitation, General Zhao drew his long sword. With a flash of cold light, Deacon Li's head flew high into the air, blood gushing out and staining the ground red.

The air froze instantly, and everyone stared at the scene in disbelief.

Fear was spreading, but even more so was awe, awe of me.

"Now, who still questions my orders?" I looked around at the crowd, my gaze piercing.

No one dared to speak; everyone lowered their heads.

"Alright! Everyone, heed my command and charge with me!" I raised my sword high, pointing it directly at the Thunder Demon King.

I activated the newly inherited immortal technique, and golden light enveloped me, making me feel full of power.

The sword in my hand seemed to sense my determination, humming softly.

"Charge!" I shouted and charged out first.

Behind them, the disciples of the immortal sect followed closely, their shouts of battle shaking the heavens.

The golden light, like a sharp arrow, pierced the darkness and pointed directly at the Thunder Demon King.

The Thunder Demon King clearly hadn't expected me to do that, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

But, it's too late!

The sword in my hand, carrying the force of a thunderbolt, slashed fiercely at the Thunder Demon King.

The Thunder Demon King hastily tried to defend himself, but was forced back several steps by my powerful force.

His face showed a look of horror, clearly not expecting me to be so powerful.

"Kill!" I shouted again, and the sword in my hand attacked the Thunder Demon King like a storm.

The Thunder Demon King suffered repeated defeats, and new wounds continued to accumulate on his body.

"Impossible! How could you..." Thunder Demon King looked at me in disbelief, his voice filled with fear.

I sneered, ignoring his words, and swung my sword again.

"Ah!" Thunder Demon King let out a scream as his body was struck by my sword energy and sent flying backward.

"The Thunder Demon King has been defeated!"

"we won!"

The disciples of the immortal sect erupted in deafening cheers, and I was enveloped in a glorious glow.

I looked at the Thunder Demon King lying on the ground, a triumphant smile spreading across my face.

“Wen Chen…” I murmured softly, a warm feeling welling up in my heart.

I stumbled and almost fell, but Wen Chen caught me quickly.

His embrace was still warm, but my heart could not find peace.

The battle is over, the Thunder Demon King has been defeated, and the Immortal Sect has been saved, but I still feel like something is not right.

"Yaoyao, are you alright?" Wen Chen's voice was gentle and concerned, his gaze fixed on me as if trying to see right through me.

I shook my head and forced a smile. "I'm fine, just a little exhausted."

All around, there was deafening cheering.

The disciples of the immortal sect embraced each other, celebrating their hard-won victory.

The joy of surviving the ordeal washed away everyone's fatigue.

Zhou Xianzi walked up to me, her face still bearing traces of blood, but her eyes were filled with gratitude.

"Fairy Yaoguang, thank you. If it weren't for you, our immortal sect would probably..."

I patted her on the shoulder and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite. Protecting the Immortal Sect is everyone's responsibility."

General Zhao also came over. He removed his blood-stained armor, revealing his strong muscles.

His words, "Fairy Yaoguang, I admire your courage and strength!"

I quickly helped him up and said modestly, "General Zhao, you are too kind. If it weren't for your brave leadership of the soldiers, I wouldn't have been able to defeat the Thunder Demon King so easily."

The warm atmosphere dispelled the gloom brought by the war.

Looking at those smiling faces, I felt a sense of relief.

However, at that moment, a strange feeling suddenly welled up in my heart.

I felt a cold gaze, like a venomous snake, watching us from the shadows.

That power was deeply hidden, yet omnipresent, which gave me the creeps.

I suddenly looked up and looked around, but found nothing.

The cheers were still deafening, and people were so immersed in the joy of victory that they were completely unaware of the approaching danger.

"Wen Chen," I tugged at his sleeve and said in a serious tone, "don't you sense that something is wrong?"

Wen Chen was slightly taken aback, his gaze sharpening. "What's wrong?"

I shook my head, unable to accurately describe the feeling.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but I always feel like something is watching us from the shadows."

Wen Chen frowned, releasing his powerful divine sense to scan everything around him.

After a moment, he shook his head.

"I didn't find anything unusual."

Is it my misunderstanding?

However, that cold gaze still felt like a thorn in my side, making it impossible for me to let my guard down.

“Be careful,” I whispered. “I don’t think this is over.”

"Heh, Your Excellency is indeed cautious. However, I'm afraid you won't have the chance to remain cautious any longer, because..."

A hoarse voice suddenly rang in my ears, carrying a chilling malice.
