Chapter 473 Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road
"good very good!"
He stared at the other person, gritted his teeth and spat out a few words, then shouted at the remaining elders and disciples of Taixu Palace: "What are you all standing there for? Go in!"
The remaining cultivators of Taixu Palace dared not disobey, and they all transformed into streams of light, rushing into the star portal that was not yet fully closed.
At the leader's signal, the Japanese monks quietly began to withdraw from the plaza, their figures blending into the shadows as if they had never been there.
However, in a corner unnoticed by everyone, just before the star portal was about to close completely, a slender and graceful woman dressed in modified Japanese clothing, like a ghost, carrying a woman sealed by runes and in a coma, silently and with astonishing speed darted into the secret realm.
The door slowly closed behind her, completely isolating her from the outside world.
In the square, only Lin Xuantong's lonely and ferocious figure remained, along with the mess and corpses scattered everywhere, and the altar that had dimmed due to insufficient energy and emitted an unwilling buzzing sound.
He stared at the empty square and the closed gates, his eyes flashing with madness and malice.
"Yun Chen... Lei Tong... Mu Bingyun... and all of you... Meteor Ruins, this is your burial ground!"
On the other side...!
Inside the meteorite ruins.
Before the dizziness from the spatial shift had completely subsided, Yun Chen crashed heavily onto a cold, hard ground.
He groaned, aggravating all the wounds on his body. The excruciating pain almost made him faint, but he forced himself to bite the tip of his tongue, using the pain to keep himself awake.
Looking around, he found himself in a desolate and strange area.
Beneath my feet lay the dark, rust-like earth, riddled with cracks.
There was no sun or moon overhead, only countless fragments of broken stars suspended in the deep void, emitting a faint and cold light that cast a hazy glow over the surroundings.
In the distance, massive stellar debris can be vaguely seen winding like mountain ranges, and further away, broken galaxies are frozen in mid-air like waterfalls.
The entire space was filled with an ancient, deathly aura, yet also contained a kind of violent energy.
"Cough cough..." Yun Chen struggled to sit up and found himself all alone.
Clearly, during the chaos of entering the passage, he was separated from Elder Lei, Bai Qingluo, Zhao Xiruo, and others.
The internal space of this meteorite ruins is extremely unstable, so it seems that teleportation is also random.
After circulating his inner energy for a cycle, Yun Chen discovered that although his injuries looked terrible, they were mostly physical injuries and depletion of spiritual energy. The shock to his internal organs had stabilized thanks to the powerful self-healing ability of the dragon bloodline, and he was far from being at his wit's end.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes. His immediate priority was to find Zhao Xiruo and the others and ensure their safety.
However, just as he was about to set off, a violent surge of spiritual energy and the sound of metal clashing suddenly came from not far ahead, interspersed with the roars of demonic beasts and the sharp shouts of women.
Yun Chen's heart tightened, and he immediately concealed all his aura, stealthily sneaking over like a raccoon dog, hiding behind a huge, hole-filled meteorite, cautiously peeking out.
In front of them, on a relatively open area of scattered rocks, three figures were fiercely fighting with a ferocious-looking monster.
The monster resembled a giant lizard, but its body was covered with dark, meteorite-like scales. Several twisted bone spurs with flashing blue electric arcs grew from its back, and it spewed out a corrosive, foul-smelling breath.
Its aura was incredibly powerful, clearly reaching the late stage of the Golden Core realm!
Yun Chen recognized the three people fighting it at a glance.
It was Tang Siyu and two inner disciples of the Taixu Palace!
Tang Siyu's left arm was still hanging limply, clearly indicating that the fracture caused by Shen Nan had not healed. Her face was pale, her hair was disheveled, and she was holding the sword with only her right hand. Although her swordsmanship was still sharp, it had lost its former agility and she seemed to be struggling.
The two disciples of Taixu Palace were at around the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. One wielded a knife, and the other a whip. Their teamwork was fairly good, but they could only barely hold on against the thick-skinned, ferocious meteorite lizard beast, and both of them were already injured.
Hiding behind the meteorite, Yun Chen watched this scene with eyes as cold as ice, yet a cold and cruel smile curved his lips.
It's really a narrow road.
They failed to kill Tang Siyu in the ranked matches before, but they didn't expect that they would actually catch up with her all the way to Meteor Ruins.
And he even bumped into it.
What a God-sent opportunity!
The time has come to avenge Ruoruo.
Yun Chen did not make a move immediately. Like the most patient hunter, he quietly lurked in the shadows, coldly watching Tang Siyu and the other two struggle desperately under the fierce attack of the demonic beast.
However, just as Tang Siyu was in grave danger, almost having her skull crushed by the lizard beast's claw—
"Hiss—!"
A chilling hiss suddenly rang out from very close behind Yun Chen without warning.
A gust of bloody wind, accompanied by a chilling killing intent, instantly enveloped him.
Yun Chen's hair stood on end. Without thinking, his body instinctively rolled violently to the side and forward.
"boom!"
The huge meteorite he had been hiding on was struck hard by a massive tail as thick as a bucket and covered in dark scales, instantly shattering the rock and sending dust billowing everywhere.
Although Yun Chen avoided vital points, he was still hit in the back by several flying pebbles in his haste. He groaned and his body was inevitably exposed in the open area.
This sudden turn of events startled Tang Siyu and her two companions, who were engaged in a fierce battle.
"Who?"
The Taixu Palace disciple wielding the knife looked at the billowing smoke with suspicion.
As the smoke and dust slowly dissipated, Yun Chen's somewhat disheveled figure was revealed, along with the newly appeared demonic beast behind him.
It was a giant python with a dark gold body and a single horn on its head.
The python coiled its body, its cold, vertical pupils fixed on Yun Chen, its tongue flicking in and out, radiating a ferocious aura no less than that of the meteorite lizard beast.
Another Star Ruins demon beast at the late Golden Core stage.
"Yun Chen?"
When Tang Siyu saw who it was, she was first stunned, then her eyes burst with unbelievable joy and resentment: "It's you! You've really chosen the path to hell when there's one in heaven."
Her heart, which had been filled with despair, was instantly filled with immense joy.
She could clearly see that Yun Chen was still recovering from his serious injuries, and now he was being targeted by a golden python with a single horn that was no weaker than the meteorite iron lizard beast. It was like a piece of fat meat being delivered to his door.
"Let's work together to take care of this beast!"
Although Tang Siyu hated Yun Chen to the extreme, she had not lost her mind and shouted at her two fellow disciples.
The pressure on the three of them decreased sharply, and they concentrated their strength. They quickly found an opportunity. The disciple who used the whip finally wrapped his whip around the root of the bone spike on the lizard beast's back. Tang Siyu seized the opportunity and thrust her long-prepared sword fiercely into the lizard.
"Pfft!"
The meteorite lizard let out a mournful cry, its massive body convulsed violently a few times, and then it crashed to the ground, the eerie blue arcs of electricity on its back quickly fading away.
After dealing with the lizard beast, Tang Siyu and her two companions did not leave immediately. Instead, they turned to look at Yun Chen, who was fighting against the golden python.
