Chapter 384: Chapter 303 Crisis Resurfaces
Su Yuan launched Void Evil Manifesting Saints as soon as he ascended. Apart from the substantial consumption, it did not take too much time to solve the two Shining Star levels.
“Bing Tong, Huang Xiang should have no major issues either, but it’s better to head back and support them.”
Su Yuan thought for a moment and decided to recover his Star Power while swiftly heading back north.
The reason for sending Luo Bingtong and Huang Xiang away earlier was to avoid any unexpected events when facing Shining Star level enemies.
If he was alone, even if something happened, with Instant Movement and Teleportation, he could advance and retreat freely.
After passing through the Dragon Gate Heavenly Ladder, his strength had advanced substantially upon reaching the Gold Limit level. Dealing with these general Shining Star levels who only obtained the Green Carp Transcendence Talisman posed no major pressure as expected.
Before long, Su Yuan saw Luo Bingtong and Huang Xiang rapidly approaching him through his Far-Sighted Skill.
“Already resolved? Much quicker than expected.”
Su Yuan smiled and immediately quickened his pace. His eyes flashed with silver light, ready to instantly teleport away.
However, at that moment, his figure that was about to disappear twisted slightly and appeared back in its original position.
“Blocked?!”
Su Yuan’s heart tightened. He immediately sensed something was wrong and unfolded his Phase Transfer without a second thought.
From the sky, a sharp beam of intense golden light swiftly descended from thousands of meters above, striking where Su Yuan had just been.
The golden light flickered briefly, and an overwhelmingly bright golden beam exploded, too bright for anyone to keep their eyes open!
“Boom!!”
The ground around shattered like tofu, and in moments, the entire mountainous area within a thousand meters was flattened!
From the Subspace, Su Yuan could clearly see everything. This astonishingly powerful strike sent chills down his spine.
Had he not activated Phase Transfer the instant he failed to teleport, his physical body alone could never withstand such an attack!
“Could there be other masters interested in Epic Star Artifacts?” Su Yuan rapidly pondered the current situation.
Logically, Radiant Moon levels shouldn’t attack juniors for an Epic Star Artifact, especially with orders explicitly stated by the Great Flame Sky Patrol.
And among Shining Star levels, few would dare to take such risks against the warnings of the Sky Patrol Imperial Envoy…
Although Su Yuan couldn’t figure it out right away, he knew the priority was handling the current situation.
“Instant Movement is blocked by something. But perhaps there’s a chance to Teleport using the shifting and swapping technique. There are plenty of low-tier Star Beasts in these woods as well…”
In the face of a strong enemy ambush and unclear circumstances, it was best to withdraw first.
With this plan in mind, Su Yuan intended to return to the main space and find a way to transfer.
But just then, the surrounding area lit up as a square barrier rose skyward!
With the radiance flickering, everything within the field vanished…
“Bing Tong, don’t worry. The leader should be fine.”
In the forest, Huang Xiang took large strides, gasping heavily as he closely followed the swiftly moving Luo Bingtong.
Luo Bingtong, expressionless, showed no sign of slowing down.
Remembering what Su Yuan said earlier, Luo Bingtong felt it wasn’t that simple and there might be a powerful enemy.
So after leaving Ming Mountain with Huang Xiang, Luo Bingtong immediately brought out the Ten Thousand Transformation Xuan Ice.
Below Shining Star level, unless the opponent had Epic Skills, the Divine Fire Mysterious Ice was considered invincible.
Luo Bingtong went all out, mercilessly annihilating Cao Bang, Old Feng, and hundreds of others, save for a few who escaped in desperation.
Then, Luo Bingtong directly returned to reunite with Su Yuan.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden beam shot down from the distant high sky.
Along with a tremendous roar, a massive square light barrier followed, rising swiftly before dissipating.
“Not good, something seems to have happened!” Huang Xiang’s face changed drastically, wanting to slap himself.
Su Yuan was just over there. It couldn’t be a coincidence that someone else was fighting here. It was very likely Su Yuan.
Though he didn’t understand the barrier that rose afterward, the golden beam from the sky was terrifyingly powerful enough to make one’s scalp numb!
Seeing this, Luo Bingtong was seized by an extremely ominous feeling. Cold air surged from her body as she directly burst out with Ice Soul Transformation!
Huang Xiang’s expression turned solemn. Blue light flowed around him, leaving a long phantom trail as he chased after Luo Bingtong.
Soon, they arrived at Su Yuan’s prior location.
But besides the shattered and sinking ground and the gradually dispersing slight Star Power fluctuations, there was no trace of anyone.
“No one!”
Huang Xiang took a deep breath, his fists unconsciously clenching.
Please be safe, leader!
Luo Bingtong relied on Ice Soul Transformation, flying into the air and searching back and forth without pause.
Even with an expanded search range, she found nothing.
“Can’t find…”
After a fruitless search, a rare sign of unease and panic appeared in Luo Bingtong’s consistently cold eyes.
“There is something, Bing Tong!” Just then, Huang Xiang suddenly shouted from the ground.
Luo Bingtong turned to look at the ground and saw Huang Xiang holding a talisman.
“This talisman has positioning!” Huang Xiang exclaimed, holding up the talisman Su Yuan had given him.
With a flap of her long ice wings, Luo Bingtong instantly appeared before Huang Xiang. Looking down, the activated talisman indeed pointed somewhere to the west.
“I will…find him.”
Taking the talisman from Huang Xiang, Luo Bingtong soared into the sky once more, quickly vanishing from sight.
Although Huang Xiang couldn’t match Luo Bingtong’s speed, he didn’t remain where he was. He swiftly followed westward…
Su Yuan’s vision blurred. His surroundings changed, now standing on a desolate, barren plain.
“Directly transmitted out of Ming Mountain. This must be over a hundred kilometers…”
Although Su Yuan didn’t know the exact location, it was obviously no longer the forested Ming Mountain.
However, this wasn’t important. The crucial point was the three figures around him.
A handsome man with golden hair wore a white suit and golden gloves, exuding elegance.
Next to him was a burly man about 1.8 meters tall, with a face full of flesh, holding a large chunk of meat.
The last person was a stern, pretty blonde woman in her thirties, wearing a suit.
These three had locked onto Su Yuan in Dragon Gate City much earlier—Frank, Gerry, and their company.
“Such a strong sense of oppression!”
Su Yuan’s senses were exceptionally keen. And now, just looking at these three gave him a strong sense of pressure.
It was a completely different feeling from facing the Black Mountain Elder or Guo Feng!
Even if they weren’t Radiant Moon, they were master-level Shining Stars.
Facing any one of them alone would be extremely difficult, let alone three of them!
Su Yuan had not miscalculated.
Because Radiant Moon targets were too noticeable, the Bach family only sent Shining Star levels—Frank and the other two down south to deal with the culprit.
And these three were Purple Card Star Card Masters!
Silver light flashed in Su Yuan’s eyes as he tried to use Instant Movement, only to find the area pre-encircled by barriers, preventing any instant teleportation out.
“Prohibited transfers, long-distance forced teleportation… Involving such high-level artifacts isn’t something ordinary forces can possess.
Coupled with three master-level beings, all this for a single Gold level…”
Su Yuan’s thoughts raced, soon vaguely guessing these people’s origins.
Looking up at them, Su Yuan said in a deep voice, “Qiguang, Bach family?”
