Chapter 1942: Another Star Map Fragment! (Part 2)
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Rumble!The three-colored Demon Fire crashed fiercely against the Turtle Shell barrier, causing it to tremble violently as its light rapidly dimmed. Su Xiaowan spat out a mouthful of blood with a “wa” sound, her face pale. But the terrifying Demon Fire was ultimately blocked by more than half.
Luo Qingchen seized this critical moment, extending his Chaotic Power to scoop up the fragment of the Star Map into his hand! It was icy to the touch, yet brimmed with immense Star Force.
“Got it! Let’s go!” Luo Qingchen shouted, pulling up the staggering Su Xiaowan, and called to Lin Wan’er, “Wan’er, cover us!”
Lin Wan’er bit her silver teeth, pushing her Heavenly Essence Spiritual Power to the limit, unleashing Sword Qi relentlessly at the Demon Spider’s compound eyes and joints, temporarily hindering its pursuit.
Luo Qingchen hoisted Su Xiaowan onto his back, leaped, and dashed towards the rift wall they had come from.
“Squeak, squeak, squeak—!” The Meteorite Demon Spider went utterly berserk; it did not expect the cooked duck to fly away, nor its treasure guarded for years to be taken by mere ants. Its massive body bowed sharply, and it spat out its natal Demon Core!
The Demon Core was entirely dark blue, covered in celestial patterns, emanating a destructive energy wave.
“No good! It’s going all out!” Lin Wan’er exclaimed in horror; this natal Demon Core’s attack was as formidable as a full-force strike from a Nascent Soul Initial Realm cultivator!
She hurriedly caught up with Luo Qingchen, and together, the three began to climb the rock wall.
The Demon Core turned into a blue comet, accompanied by a sharp sound, relentlessly pursuing them.
“Brother Luo, dodge quickly!” Su Xiaowan urged anxiously from Luo Qingchen’s back.
Without turning, Luo Qingchen operated his Chaotic Power to its peak, forming Chaos Barriers behind him, while continuously altering directions with the rock wall’s protrusions.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The Demon Core shattered several Chaos Barriers, its momentum undiminished, almost catching up due to its everlasting force.
Amid this critical moment, a weak golden light flickered again from the Nine Revolutions Soul Revival Grass at Bai Ling’er’s brow on Lin Wan’er’s back. A faint but supreme Dragon Soul aura flashed momentarily.
The pursuing blue Demon Core suddenly slowed, seemingly gripped by an inexplicable deterrent, its speed dropping for a split second!
Though just a moment, it granted Luo Qingchen precious time!
Seizing a protruding rock, he exerted force, narrowly avoiding with the two the Demon Core’s deadly pursuit!
Rumble——!
The Demon Core grazed past their heels, crashing ferociously into the rock wall below, causing the entire chasm to tremble violently, debris flying. The Meteorite Demon Spider let out an unwilling roar, retrieving its now dim Demon Core, its strength greatly diminished due to the Core leaving its body.
Luo Qingchen and his comrades dared not linger and climbed upward with all their strength.
At the top of the chasm, Zhao Mingyu’s group observed everything below from their hiding place.
“Second Young Master, they’re coming up! They look quite depleted, and that girl seems injured,” a hawk-nosed Golden Core Initial Realm cultivator whispered, greed gleaming in his eyes.
Zhao Mingyu’s lips curled into a cruel smile: “Good! I said if you dared offend me, I’d make you wish for death over life! That Star Map fragment and those two beauties—I’ll take them all! Prepare to attack the moment they exit the chasm!”
“Yes!” his subordinates responded in unison, their eyes brimming with bloodlust.
Luo Qingchen was oblivious to the impending danger above, focused entirely on escape. Finally, after expending their last ounce of strength, the three clambered out of the chasm, beholding daylight again.
However, before they could catch their breath, formidable auras from all directions locked onto them!
“Heh heh heh… Keep running, why stop now?” Zhao Mingyu appeared with seven or eight cultivators from their hiding spots, a mocking smile playing like a cat toying with a mouse as they encircled Luo Qingchen and his comrades.
Zhao Mingyu stood at their head, flanked by two Golden Core Intermediate Stage cultivators, five Golden Core Initial Realm cultivators, and several Foundation Establishment Refining Stage cultivators—obviously the Zhao Family’s elite.
Luo Qingchen’s pupils shrank, his heart sinking.
A mantis stalks a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! They had fallen into an ambush after all.
Under the blinding sun, the trio stood back-to-back, warily eyeing the Zhao Family cultivators surrounding them. The air was thick with tension and greed.
“Zhao Mingyu.” Luo Qingchen’s voice was calm, betraying no emotion, his gaze sweeping the opposing forces as he formed an assessment. The enemy was well-prepared: two Golden Core Intermediate Stage, five during the Initial Realm—enough firepower to crush ordinary sect forces.
Zhao Mingyu fanned himself arrogantly with his jade bone fan, his eyes lewdly wandering over Lin Wan’er and Su Xiaowan: “Boy, there were paths to paradise you refused to take; hell’s doors you rushed willingly. I warned you, offend me and you’ll regret it. Now, surrender the Star Map fragment and everything else you have. Let these beauties entertain me, and maybe I’ll grant you a swift death.”
“Pah! Shameless scoundrel!” Su Xiaowan’s face flushed with anger, though afraid, her stubborn nature refusing to bow.
Lin Wan’er, her demeanor icy, gripped her Longsword tightly, inwardly circulating her Heavenly Essence Spiritual Power.
Luo Qingchen shielded Su Xiaowan and Lin Wan’er behind him, speaking lightly: “If you want something, show you have what it takes to take it.”
“Refusing a toast only to drink a forfeit!” Zhao Mingyu’s face darkened, snapping shut his fan as he barked, “Seize them! Cripple the man’s cultivation, capture the women alive! Kill anyone who resists!”
“Yes, Second Young Master!” The seven or eight Zhao Family cultivators charged in, sinister grins spread wide, assorted Magical Treasures and Spirit Light flashing as they overwhelmed Luo Qingchen and his comrades.
“Chaos Barrier!” Luo Qingchen murmured, the remnant Chaotic Power forming several gray barriers around him.
“Wan’er, left flank! Xiaowan, talismans, watch Bai Ling’er!” Luo Qingchen quickly directed.
Lin Wan’er shouted valiantly, wielding her Heavenly Origin Sword Technique, azure Sword Light pouring like rain, confronting two Golden Core Initial Realm cultivators attacking from the left. Su Xiaowan scurried to draw a bunch of talismans, tossing them forward heedlessly.
“Fireball Talisman! Ice Spike Talisman! Vajra Talisman… Oh no, a Cleaning Talisman!” Su Xiaowan realized as she threw a talisman glowing faintly white light, stomping in frustration.
The Cleaning Talisman drifted down onto the face of a fierce Golden Core Initial Realm cultivator, the white light flashing, leaving his face feeling refreshed and beard neatened, stopping him cold with surprise.
“Pfft!” Amidst her fierce battle, Lin Wan’er nearly giggled at the sight.
Even the corner of Luo Qingchen’s mouth twitched. This girl always managed to create “surprises” at crucial moments.
Yet, such minor interludes couldn’t reverse the disadvantageous situation. Outnumbered, with the opponents boasting superior cultivation, Luo Qingchen and his team were weakened from their prior battle with the Meteorite Demon Spider, Su Xiaowan even injured.
Bang! Bang!
The Chaos Barriers shattered under the onslaught of several Golden Core cultivators, Luo Qingchen grunting in pain, fresh blood at his lips. The clash of his Black Dragon Sword with a Magical Artifact wielded by a Golden Core Intermediate Stage cultivator left his hand tingling with shock.
Lin Wan’er, battling two Golden Core Initial Realm cultivators, despite her exquisite swordsmanship, gradually faltered, new gashes marking her form.
Su Xiaowan wielded many talismans, but they were limited against Golden Core cultivators, only able to defend herself and Bai Ling’er with the Turtle Shell, causing her mounting anxiety.
“Brother Luo! Sister Wan’er!”
“Heh heh, little beauty, stop resisting; submit to me obediently!” A sleazy Golden Core Initial Realm cultivator leered at Lin Wan’er, casting a web-like Magic Artifact to ensnare her.
“Scram!” Lin Wan’er’s eyes blazed, ignoring another’s attack as she spun and unleashed a fierce Sword Qi, repelling the lecherous cultivator.
