Chapter 242 A Chance for Survival in Desperate Circumstances
Intense pain swept through his entire body, almost causing him to faint.
His large, bright eyes were filled with fear.
Yet it still stared intently at the hunters, its small body concealing an indomitable stubbornness.
Even if they know they are no match, they will never back down.
"Oh? There's another fearless little girl?" The hunter's bloodshot eyes swept over Han Xuanxuan.
A glint of greed flashed in his eyes, and his tone was full of cruelty.
"Perfect, I'll devour them all at once, saving me the trouble!"
"The three of you, master and disciples, shall become my nourishment!"
He raised his hand and waved it, and a jet-black tentacle condensed once more.
With a chilling, malevolent aura, it lashed out fiercely at Han Xuanxuan's head.
With lightning speed, he was determined to kill Han Xuanxuan in one strike.
Han Xuanxuan was so frightened that she trembled all over, her face as pale as paper.
Yet he showed no sign of backing down, his spiritual energy surging wildly around him.
They wanted to build up the last line of defense.
However, her cultivation level was still shallow, only at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, and she was already seriously injured.
It is simply impossible to put together an effective defense.
He could only watch helplessly as the dark tentacle slowly approached him.
The shadow of death instantly enveloped her.
At the critical moment, a faint yet resolute shout shattered the deathly silence of the canyon—
"stop!"
The sound came from the edge of the cliff.
Wei Yu struggled to his feet, his body covered in blood and his clothes torn to shreds.
His breath was as faint as a spider's thread, yet his eyes remained resolute.
The power of homecoming gathered around him once more, forming a faint yet refined golden-white blade of light.
He slashed fiercely at the dark tentacle.
That was the last bit of strength he had mustered.
All for the sake of saving Han Xuanxuan and Xuan Qing, all for the sake of protecting this last remaining hope.
He endured the excruciating pain throughout his body.
Every movement felt like countless needles pricking his bones.
But he cannot fall.
He is a sentinel, the hope that protects the mother planet, and the reliance that leads wanderers from all worlds back home.
He absolutely could not watch the people around him die one by one.
"Pfft!"
The light blade accurately hit the dark tentacles.
The tentacles were instantly severed, and black liquid gushed out.
It emitted a pungent stench, and when it fell to the ground, it corroded the ground, leaving small pits that were shocking to behold.
The hunter's face darkened, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes.
Turning to Wei Yu, his tone was full of malice: "I didn't expect you, you ant, to still be alive?"
"You are quite tenacious, but today, you are doomed!"
He flashed and appeared in front of Wei Yu in an instant, like a ghost.
The pitch-black palm carried a deadly, corrupting power.
He slammed his fist down on Wei Yu's head.
This strike brought together all the power in his body.
They were determined to utterly shatter Wei Yu's spirit and eliminate any future troubles.
This attack was both swift and ruthless.
Wei Yu had already exhausted all his strength, his soul was damaged, and his spiritual energy was depleted.
There was no way to dodge it.
He could only watch helplessly as the pitch-black hand slowly enlarged before his eyes.
The aura of death grew ever stronger.
Xuanqing and Han Xuanxuan watched this scene and let out a heart-wrenching cry.
But there was nothing they could do.
They were covered in severe injuries and didn't even have the strength to stand up.
They could only watch helplessly as Wei Yu was about to lose his life at the hands of the hunters.
My heart is filled with despair and resentment.
The shadow of death loomed over the three of them like a tidal wave.
In the canyon, only desperate cries and the sinister laughs of the hunters remained.
The air became icy cold.
Wei Yu slowly closed his eyes, his heart filled with resentment and regret.
A line of blood slid down from the corner of his eye.
He has not yet repaired his shattered soul.
Not yet have all the scattered fragments of the soul been recovered.
The coordinates for Earth's return home have not yet been determined.
He has not yet led the wanderers who roam the myriad worlds back to their home planet.
Those hunters who harmed the wanderers and coveted the home planet have not yet been completely eradicated...
He can't just die here like this!
"Will of my home planet, aid me!"
Wei Yu roared madly in his heart.
He used the last ounce of his divine soul power to activate the remaining power of homecoming within his body.
That was his obsession with his home planet.
It was his determination to protect those who wandered far from home.
It was his unwavering belief that he refused to perish.
It was a matter of life and death.
A dazzling golden-white light suddenly burst forth from his chest.
That was the homecoming power within his body, which surged instantly under the blessing of the mother planet's will.
It shone as brightly as the sun, dispelling the surrounding darkness.
The warm light enveloped him, easing the excruciating pain in his body.
At the same time, a faint yet pure golden-white light emanated from Xuan Qing's body.
Those were fragments of his soul that were attached to his soul.
Sensing the deadly crisis facing Wei Yu, he voluntarily awoke.
It released a powerful divine soul force, which resonated with the homecoming force within Wei Yu's body, intertwining and becoming increasingly intense.
The hunter's dark hand was about to touch Wei Yu's head.
Suddenly, they were completely blocked by that dazzling golden-white light.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move forward an inch.
It felt like hitting an impenetrable wall.
"What?!" The hunter's expression changed drastically.
A look of disbelief and horror flashed in his eyes, and his tone was full of panic.
"What kind of power is this? Why is it so strong? How can it withstand my attack?"
He desperately urged the dark energy within his body to flow.
They wanted to break through the barrier of that golden-white light.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't budge it in the slightest.
Instead, it was sizzled and burned by that golden-white light.
The dark aura surrounding him dissipated rapidly, like ice and snow meeting fire.
A sharp pain emanated from his body beneath the black robe, causing him to let out a muffled groan.
Wei Yu slowly opened his eyes.
A hint of surprise and hope flashed in his eyes.
He could clearly feel the fragments of Xuan Qing's soul slowly approaching him.
That familiar power of the soul intertwined with his own power of returning home.
His soul-piercing pain gradually subsided, and his strength slowly recovered.
What surprised him even more was that he caught a glimpse of it by chance.
A faint spot of light appeared on the hunter's chest.
There was no trace of darkness above that point of light.
Instead, it carried a fragile fluctuation, faintly revealing vitality—that was where the hunter's nascent soul resided!
He knew clearly that for Nascent Soul cultivators, their Nascent Soul was their lifeblood.
It is the source of their strength.
Once the Nascent Soul is destroyed, the hunter will be instantly annihilated, completely perishing, and powerless to fight back!
The nascent soul of the hunter before them was exposed without any concealment.
Its breath was faint, and it was extremely fragile.
It looked as if a single, gentle blow could shatter it!
This is a glimmer of hope in a desperate situation!
A sharp glint flashed in Wei Yu's eyes.
A solution to the problem instantly came to mind.
Even though he was in excruciating pain and his breath was weak, he would never let go of this hard-won opportunity.
He endured the excruciating pain throughout his body and mustered his last bit of strength.
He activated the intertwined forces of homecoming and divine soul within his body.
At the same time, he shouted sharply at Xuan Qing and Han Xuanxuan, who were not far away.
"Xuanqing! Xuanxuan! Come and cooperate with me!"
"Attack his chest; that's his nascent soul, his Achilles' heel!"
"By shattering the Nascent Soul, we can survive!"
Xuanqing and Han Xuanxuan reacted instantly.
The despair in his eyes was instantly replaced by hope.
Although they were severely injured and barely breathing, they had almost no strength to even lift their hands.
But they knew it was their only chance of survival.
This is the only chance to save Wei Yu and defeat the hunters.
They must not give up!
"Alright! Brother Wei Yu!" Xuan Qing gritted his teeth.
He endured the excruciating pain in his arm and used up all the remaining spiritual energy in his body.
The cyan longsword in his hand once again condensed a faint yet resolute light.
He slashed fiercely at the hunter's chest.
Every step was exceptionally difficult, yet carried with unwavering courage.
Han Xuanxuan also used her last bit of strength.
The spiritual energy around him surged wildly, and a huge pink ball of spiritual energy condensed in his palm.
Even though the light was faint, it carried her determination.
It slammed down hard on the hunter's chest.
All for the sake of contributing my strength to defeating the hunters.
The hunters' expressions changed drastically.
His eyes were filled with horror and panic, and he wanted to dodge.
However, they were trapped by the golden-white light released by Wei Yu and could not move.
They could only watch helplessly as Xuan Qing's longsword and Han Xuanxuan's sphere of spiritual energy clashed.
It slowly approached his chest.
For the first time, the fear of death enveloped him.
"No—! Impossible!"
"I am a Nascent Soul Realm expert, how could I be defeated by you ants?!"
"That's impossible!"
The hunters let out a desolate roar.
His eyes were filled with resentment and despair, and his tone was full of frantic struggle.
He desperately tried to activate the remaining dark energy within his body.
He wanted to protect his nascent soul.
However, his dark aura had already been almost completely extinguished by the scorching power of homecoming.
It is impossible to form an effective defense.
They could only watch helplessly as death drew ever closer.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two loud explosions rang out almost simultaneously.
Xuanqing's longsword slashed fiercely into the chest of the hunter.
Han Xuanxuan's spiritual energy orb also slammed heavily into the chest of the hunter.
The two forces intertwined and erupted instantly.
It charged fiercely towards the hunter's nascent soul.
"puff--!"
The hunters let out a scream that was utterly agonizing.
A huge wound was instantly blasted open in his chest, leaving a bloody mess.
A faint black nascent soul floated out from the wound.
With a hint of panic, he wanted to escape this place and save his life.
"Trying to run? Not so easy!"
A cold killing intent flashed in Wei Yu's eyes.
With his last ounce of strength, he condensed a refined golden-white blade of light at his fingertips.
With the power to ward off evil and exorcise demons, it slashed fiercely at the black nascent soul.
Never give the other party any chance to escape.
"Snap!"
A crisp cracking sound rang out.
The black nascent soul was struck hard by the light blade and shattered instantly.
It transformed into countless black specks of light, dissipating into the air like dust.
Completely annihilated, leaving no trace.
With his nascent soul shattered, the hunter instantly lost all his power.
The dark aura surrounding him dissipated rapidly like a tide.
The body beneath the black robe began to disintegrate rapidly.
It turned into wisps of black smoke, drifting away with the wind.
Finally, it completely disappeared into the canyon.
Only a black token with strange patterns remained, lying forlornly on the ground.
It exudes a faint aura of darkness.
The crisis has finally been temporarily averted.
Wei Yu's body went limp, and he could no longer hold on.
He fell heavily to the ground, covered in blood, his clothes torn.
His breath was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to open his eyes.
Only a trace of warmth, a feeling of returning home, remained in his chest, sustaining his life.
Xuanqing and Han Xuanxuan also stumbled and fell to the ground.
Both were seriously injured.
Xuanqing's arm was still bleeding, and the gruesome wound was shocking to behold.
Han Xuanxuan was also covered in injuries, her face was as pale as paper, and she was barely breathing.
Even breathing became extremely weak.
The canyon entrance was once again deathly silent.
Only the heavy, faint breathing of the three people remained.
The air was thick with the stench of blood and a faint sense of darkness.
It recounts the thrilling and deadly battle that just took place.
Although they successfully defeated the hunters and saved their lives.
However, the three of them also paid a heavy price.
They were all severely injured and barely breathing.
They could fall into a coma or even die at any time.
Xuan Qing gritted his teeth, relying on a stubborn will.
He struggled to crawl to Wei Yu's side.
Looking at Wei Yu, who was covered in blood and barely breathing, he was filled with guilt and gratitude.
His voice was hoarse and weak: "Brother Wei Yu, thank you..."
"Thank you for risking your life to save me. If it weren't for you, Xuanxuan and I would have already perished at the hands of the hunters."
Han Xuanxuan also struggled to crawl over.
Tears streamed down her face, dripping onto Wei Yu's clothes.
She sobbed softly, her voice thick with emotion.
"Brother Wei Yu, please don't be in trouble, okay?"
"We're still waiting for you to take us home, still waiting for you to join us in slaying the hunters and protecting our home planet..."
Wei Yu slowly opened his eyes.
A weak smile managed to tug at the corners of his mouth.
She looked at the two of them with gentle eyes, her voice soft yet firm.
"Don't worry... I'm fine... I'll be alright..."
His gaze slowly fell on Xuan Qing.
A hint of expectation flashed in his eyes, and his voice was hoarse.
"Xuanqing...you possess a fragment of my soul..."
"Now that it has awakened... could I... borrow it for a moment?"
"To mend my shattered soul..."
Xuanqing nodded immediately, without hesitation.
His tone was firm and sincere, even though he himself was seriously injured.
Even if losing a fragment of his soul would damage his cultivation, he didn't care at all.
"Brother Wei Yu, no problem!"
"As long as I can help you repair your soul, as long as you can find your way home!"
"Don't even mention a fragment of your soul, I'd give you my life!"
As he spoke, Xuanqing slowly closed his eyes.
He activated the remaining divine soul power within his body.
Carefully guiding the fragments of her soul, she slowly drifted towards Wei Yu's direction.
The movements were gentle, as if afraid of disturbing that precious fragment of the soul.
That golden-white fragment of soul was like a dazzling star.
It slowly floated to Wei Yu's chest and instantly merged into his body without any obstruction.
hum-
A warm and powerful spiritual force erupted from the fragments of the soul in an instant.
It spread to Wei Yu's entire body.
Like spring rain, it nourished his broken soul and damaged body.
His wounds are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The stinging sensation in my soul gradually lessened.
His breathing gradually became steady, no longer as weak as before.
At the same time, a crisp system notification sounded in his mind.
A touch of joy dispelled the weariness in his heart.
"Ding! Congratulations, host! You have obtained 1 Soul Fragment, your Soul Repair is now 35%, and the Sentinel Power Recovery progress has increased to 30%!"
"Ding! Sentinel Power (Revived 30%): Detection range increased to 200 kilometers, unlocked counterattack ability, can unleash Sentinel Shock, dealing 150% additional damage to dark creatures!"
