Chapter 290 Glorious Victory
On the night of the full moon, the silver light was like a silk thread, spreading all over the valley. Under the night cover, Wu Tao and Hu Bugui led a group of elite soldiers and quietly approached the camp of the Night Demon Clan. The soldiers were all wearing night clothes, and their footsteps were light, like cheetahs, shuttling between the mountains and forests without making any sound.
"Be careful and don't alert the enemy." Wu Tao whispered, with a hint of nervousness in her tone. Hu Bugui shook her hand and gave her a firm look.
The camp was brightly lit, and patrolling Night Demon soldiers could be vaguely seen. Wu Tao and Hu Bugui looked at each other and understood each other. According to the plan, they split into two groups. Hu Bugui led a group of soldiers to attract the enemy's attention, while Wu Tao led Li Xiaoyao and another group of soldiers to sneak into the depths of the camp to find the stars and the moon shadow, and at the same time activate the key to cracking the ritual - the Moon Soul Grass.
The night wind blew, bringing waves of disgusting bloody smell. Wu Tao suppressed his discomfort and led the soldiers, taking advantage of the cover of night to avoid patrolling soldiers and quietly enter the camp.
"It's right in front!" Li Xiaoyao pointed to a tent not far away and said in a low voice. That tent was larger than the other tents, and was heavily guarded around it, exuding a gloomy and terrifying atmosphere. Wu Tao's heart shuddered, knowing that it must be the place where the ceremony was held.
"Xiaoyao, you and a few soldiers stay here to protect the Moon Soul Grass, and I and the others will go to rescue people." Wu Tao made a decisive decision. Li Xiaoyao nodded, knowing that Wu Tao was a skilled martial artist, and he felt relieved.
Wu Tao led several elite soldiers, crouched down, and slowly approached the tent. The sound of chanting was faintly heard in the tent, which was creepy. Wu Tao took a deep breath and signaled the soldiers to get ready.
"Go!" With Wu Tao's order, the soldiers quickly attacked, and the sharp blades in their hands flashed with cold light, killing the guarding Night Demon soldiers. Wu Tao kicked open the door of the tent, and saw a huge magic circle in the center of the tent emitting a strange light. Xingchen and Yueying were tied in the center of the magic circle, with pale faces and weak breath.
"Xingchen! Yueying!" Wu Tao shouted anxiously, but was interrupted by a burst of cold laughter.
"You are finally here!" The leader of the remnant of the mysterious organization walked out from the shadows with a ferocious smile on his face, "Unfortunately, you are too late! The ceremony will be completed soon, and by then, the entire Chang'an City will become a living hell!"
Wu Tao's heart sank, knowing that she couldn't delay any longer. She drew the sword from her waist and pointed the tip of the sword directly at the leader of the remnant of the mysterious organization, "Don't even think about succeeding!"
At the same time, Hu Bugui had also been engaged in a battle with the Night Demon Clan. He held a spear in his hand, like a tiger descending from the mountain, unstoppable, and wherever he went, the enemies fell one after another.
"Activate the Moon Soul Grass!" Wu Tao gave the order. Li Xiaoyao and the others immediately threw the Moon Soul Grass into the air. Under the moonlight, the Moon Soul Grass emitted a dazzling light, forming a huge protective shield that enveloped the entire camp.
The magic of the Night Demons instantly lost its effect, and the controlled soldiers regained their freedom, looking around blankly. The face of the leader of the remaining members of the mysterious organization changed drastically, "How is it possible?! How did you do it?!"
Wu Tao ignored him and leaped up to rescue Xingchen and Yueying from the magic circle. Xingchen and Yueying opened their eyes weakly and smiled with relief when they saw Wu Tao.
"Mom..." Xingchen's voice was weak, but filled with endless attachment.
"Don't talk, recover your strength first." Wu Tao gently stroked Xingchen's cheek, her eyes full of love.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the remnants of the mysterious organization wanted to take the opportunity to escape, but was stopped by Hu Bugui.
"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Hu Bugui snorted coldly, and the spear in his hand was like a dragon, piercing straight towards the leader of the remnants of the mysterious organization.
The leader of the remnant of the mysterious organization tried to resist hastily, but Hu Bugui shot his weapon away and pierced his chest, causing blood to gush out. He widened his eyes in disbelief and slowly fell to the ground...
"Taoer, we succeeded..." Hu Bugui walked to Wu Tao with a tired smile on his face.
"Hmm..." Wu Tao nodded gently, looking at the mess on the ground with mixed feelings.
However, at this moment, something strange happened...
"Ah..." A shrill scream cut through the night sky, and a huge black shadow fell from the sky, carrying a destructive aura, attacking everyone...
"Oh no, it's the Night Demon King!" Li Xiaoyao's face changed drastically and he exclaimed in surprise.
Wu Tao and Hu Bugui's hearts tightened, and they simultaneously protected Xingchen and Yueying behind them, looking firmly at the huge black shadow...
The decisive battle is about to begin! Glorious victory (continued)
The huge black shadow came crashing down like a mountain with a deafening roar, and the air waves it created uprooted the surrounding trees. Wu Tao and Hu Bugui did not dare to neglect it, and they mobilized their internal Qi at the same time, and two powerful forces rushed into the sky and faced the terrifying black shadow.
"boom--"
There was a loud bang, the ground shook, and the dazzling light illuminated the entire night sky. Wu Tao and Hu Bugui were knocked back several steps, their blood surging, and the black shadow was also forced back, revealing its true appearance - a huge night demon with a huge body, covered with black scales, and red eyes.
"Roar--"
The Night Demon King let out an earth-shaking roar, and the sound waves were like substance, blowing the surrounding soldiers away.
"Everyone, form a formation to meet the enemy!" Hu Bugui shouted, waving his spear, and the spear rays attacked the Night Demon King like a storm. The soldiers also reacted quickly and formed a defensive formation to resist the Night Demon King's attack.
"Xingchen, Yueying, hurry up and leave!" Wu Tao shouted anxiously to Xingchen and Yueying while resisting the attack of the Night Demon King.
"Mom, we're not leaving!" Xingchen and Yueying were reluctant to leave, but they also knew that if they stayed they would only become a burden.
"Be obedient and leave quickly so that we won't have to worry!" Wu Tao's tone was firm and left no room for doubt.
"But..." Xingchen and Yueying wanted to say something, but were interrupted by Li Xiaoyao.
"Young Master, Miss, let's go quickly. Staying here will only drag them down!" Li Xiaoyao pulled up Xingchen and Yueying, turned around and ran.
"Want to leave? Not that easy!" The Night Demon King noticed the actions of Li Xiaoyao and others, roared, swung his huge claws, and grabbed towards Li Xiaoyao and others.
"Don't even think about hurting them!" Wu Tao became anxious upon seeing this, and rushed towards the Night Demon King regardless of everything. The long sword in his hand turned into a flash of lightning, piercing the Night Demon King's eyes.
"Looking for death!" The Night Demon King roared, swung his claws and slapped Wu Tao.
"Tao'er, be careful!" Hu Bugui was shocked when he saw this and rushed to rescue her, but it was too late.
With a loud bang, Wu Tao was slapped away by the Night Demon King's claw, with blood spurting out of his mouth.
"mother!"
"Tao'er!"
……
The Night Demon King howled to the sky, as if celebrating his victory. He turned around and walked towards Wu Tao, who was lying on the ground, with heavy steps, step by step, with cruel and murderous light flashing in his eyes.
"It's over..." The Night Demon King's voice was low and hoarse, like a death knell from hell.
However, just as it was about to reach Wu Tao, something strange happened...
"It's too early for you to be happy!" A cold voice sounded in the ears of the Night Demon King.
The Night Demon King suddenly looked up, only to see Wu Tao, who should have been dying, standing in front of him unscathed. Under the moonlight, Wu Tao's body was emitting a faint golden light, and the long sword in his hand was even more radiant, faintly revealing a powerful force.
"How is this possible!" The Night Demon King was shocked and angry.
Wu Tao sneered, and before it could react, the long sword in his hand stabbed out like lightning, pointing directly at the heart of the Night Demon King. The Night Demon King hastily waved his claws to resist, but was shocked by the huge force transmitted from the long sword and retreated repeatedly.
"Tao'er, I'm here to help you!" Hu Bugui also arrived, the spear in his hand turned into silver light, and attacked the Night Demon King from the side.
The Night Demon King was attacked from both sides and was immediately in trouble. It was already injured, and now it was attacked by Wu Tao and Hu Bugui, making it even more difficult to resist.
"Roar--" The Night Demon King let out an unwilling roar, a hint of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly turned around and fled into the distance desperately.
"Want to escape? Not that easy!" Wu Tao and Hu Bugui chased after him relentlessly.
Although the Night Demon King was powerful, he was injured after all, and his speed was not as fast as before. After he fled for a distance, he was caught up by Wu Tao and Hu Bugui.
"Prepare to die!" Wu Tao and Hu Bugui attacked at the same time. The two powerful forces gathered together and turned into a dazzling light, completely devouring the Night Demon King.
With a loud bang, the huge body of the Night Demon King fell to the ground, and there was no sound anymore.
As soon as the leader of the Night Demon clan died, the remaining Night Demon soldiers immediately lost their morale. They threw away their weapons and armor and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
Wu Tao and Hu Bugui looked at each other and saw the relief and fatigue in each other's eyes. They knew that the battle was finally over.
The crisis in Chang'an City was resolved.
"Dad, Mom!" Xingchen and Yueying came running over, their eyes full of joy and admiration.
Wu Tao and Hu Bugui looked at their two children in front of them, their hearts filled with warmth and happiness.
"Let's go home..." Wu Tao said softly, with a hint of trembling in his voice.
"Go home!" Hu Bugui held Wu Tao's hand tightly, his eyes firm and gentle.
The moonlight was as bright as silver, shining on the four of them as they set out on their way home...
In the distance, Chang'an City was brightly lit, as if welcoming their return...
The triumphant team, bathed in the golden light of the morning sun, slowly drove into Chang'an City. The city gates were wide open, and the people lined the streets to welcome them. The cheers were like waves, one after another, almost overturning the entire Chang'an City.
"The prince is mighty! Long live the princess!" The crowd erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
Wu Tao and Hu Bugui rode side by side at the front of the team, wearing armor, looking heroic and victorious. Xingchen and Yueying followed closely behind, their faces also filled with youthful smiles, their eyes sparkling with longing for the future.
"Mom, look, everyone is here to welcome us!" Xingchen said to Wu Tao excitedly, his tone full of pride.
"Yes, we are all heroes of Chang'an City!" Yueying also happily agreed.
Wu Tao looked at the jubilant crowd in front of her, her heart filled with emotion. They had paid too much for this moment, and now they finally saw the moon. She turned her head and her eyes met with Hu Bugui's. The two smiled at each other, and everything was said without words.
A grand celebration banquet was held in the palace, with bright lights and singing and dancing. Wu Tao and Hu Bugui dressed in gorgeous clothes and accepted toasts and congratulations from all sides. The stars and the moon also became the focus of the banquet. Their heroic deeds were widely praised by people and became role models for the younger generation.
"From now on, there will be no more war in Chang'an City, and the people can live and work in peace." Hu Bugui raised his glass and said with great passion.
"Cheers to the hero!" everyone shouted in unison and drank it all in one gulp.
However, behind the lively banquet, Wu Tao and Hu Bugui always felt a little uneasy. Although the Night Demon Clan had been eliminated, the mysterious organization was still hiding in the dark. They were like a time bomb, and no one knew when it would explode, bringing new disasters to Chang'an City.
"Tao'er, what's wrong?" Hu Bugui noticed something strange about Wu Tao and asked with concern.
Wu Tao shook her head and forced a smile: "It's okay, I'm just a little tired."
Hu Bugui did not ask any further questions, as he knew that Wu Tao had his own thoughts.
After the banquet, Wu Tao and Hu Bugui returned to their own palaces. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat dull.
Suddenly, a paper crane flew in from the window and landed in Wu Tao's hand. Wu Tao unfolded the paper crane and saw a line of beautiful words written on it: "Be careful, they haven't given up yet..."
The paper crane slowly burned, turning into a wisp of smoke and dissipating in the air. Wu Tao's face suddenly became solemn. She stood up suddenly and said to Hu Bugui: "Not good..."
