This is a sea of ruins.
The massive remnants of an ancient star floated in the void, and the turbulent currents of laws cut through every inch of space like invisible blades. This place was already close to the forbidden zone, and even Wang Teng's pursuers dared not venture too far.
"They shouldn't be able to follow us into this place."
Gu Chen leaned against a floating fragment of star debris, his body covered in blood, and the silver moonlight law had dimmed considerably.
Ji Kun huddled to the side, his face pale and his breath extremely weak. " Gu Chen... you said the Imperial Prince really..."
He will come back.
Gu Chen interrupted him, his tone firm. "I believe the Imperial Prince isn't the kind of person who would abandon his own people."
"It's been two and a half years already..."
Ji Kun's voice was slightly hoarse, as if he had swallowed too many words he wanted to say, "If he doesn't come out soon, we're afraid we'll really be done for here."
Rumble!
At that moment, a dark red storm crashed to the ground, transforming into seven figures.
Leading the group was a puppet at the Late Sage King Realm, its entire body covered in dark red, Chaotic Devil Qi, its eyes hollow, like a controlled killing machine.
We've found you!
The Sage King Realm puppet's voice was as cold as iron. "The Divine Son has ordered that both be captured alive and brought back!"
The six Sage King Realm puppets behind him stepped forward in unison, Chaotic Devil Qi surged towards Ji Kun like a dark red cloud pressing down from above.
In that starry sky, a storm of laws was raging wildly.
The dark golden dragon energy intertwined and collided with the silver moonlight, tearing the void within a radius of tens of thousands of miles to shreds.
Gu Chen billowed into the sky.
Two figures were locked in fierce combat amidst the storm.
One of them was shrouded in dark golden dragon energy, resembling an ancient humanoid dragon beast. His attacks were fierce and domineering, each punch carrying the power to shatter stars.
Another figure, shrouded in silvery moonlight.
Her figure was as light and agile as a swallow, weaving and dodging through the gaps in the dragon energy. She held a broken halberd in her hand, the tip of which shimmered with the afterimage of a dark blue roc wing.
The figure bathed in silver moonlight was none other than Gu Chen.
But at this moment, Gu Chen was clearly not in good condition.
He was covered in blood, and the silver moonlight law had dimmed considerably. There was a deep, bone-revealing wound on his right arm, which was still bleeding.
The dark golden figure opposite him was surrounded by surging dragon energy, his aura far surpassing that of Gu Chen.
" Gu Chen, how long are you going to hide?"
The dark golden figure spoke, its voice deep and rumbling like thunder, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression:
"Your master has been missing for two and a half years; he's not coming back."
"If you obediently surrender and reveal the secret of the altar, I will spare your life."
Gu Chen did not answer. He simply gripped the broken halberd tightly, shielding Ji Kun behind him, his back still ramrod straight.
" Wang Teng!"
"You've been hunting us for two years! You're just taking your anger out on us because you can't find the imperial prince!"
Hiding behind Gu Chen, Ji Kun, covered in wounds, gritted his teeth and cried out, "The Emperor's Prince won't die! He will definitely come back! When that time comes..."
"Then what?"
The golden-haired ancient freak sneered, took a sudden step forward, and dark golden dragon energy exploded around him as he punched Gu Chen.
"I'd like to see if he comes back!"
Gu Chen's pupils contracted sharply, and he raised his halberd to block.
The broken halberd collided with the dragon's fist, unleashing a deafening roar.
Gu Chen was blasted away like a meteor, smashing through several floating fragments of star debris behind him before finally regaining his footing.
"Puff!"
He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and the silver moonlight law flickered violently like a candle in the wind.
" Gu Chen!"
Ji Kun's expression changed drastically, and he tried to rush forward.
Just then, a cold voice echoed from the depths of the star field, "You're tired of living. How dare you touch my people!"
Ji Kun suddenly looked up.
Gu Chen also suddenly opened his eyes.
In the void shrouded by the storm of laws, a figure in white robes slowly walked towards them.
He walked with a leisurely pace, his white robes fluttering in the wind, as if he were just taking a stroll. A faint Chaos Qi swirled around him, making him stand out from the chaotic star field around him.
It was Lin Fan.
The Imperial Prince!
Ji Kun's voice was almost squeezed out of his throat, carrying the pent-up frustration of two and a half years and a sudden surge of excitement.
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then grinned, a smile carrying a hint of relief, "You've finally figured it out."
"Um."
Lin Fan nodded, his gaze sweeping over the injuries on the two men. Chaos Qi condensed into a soft halo in his palm, brushing over them and crushing the remaining law-related wounds one by one.
What the hell?
Then, he turned to look at the rapidly approaching dark red storm in the distance. "I've been chasing you for two and a half years. It's time to let them know what the consequences are for messing with my people."
"Um?"
The Quasi-Saint puppet's pupils contracted sharply, its instinctive sense of crisis causing a brief pause in its killing process.
But before it could react, Lin Fan had already moved.
He didn't even raise his hand.
He merely glanced at the quasi -Quasi-Saint puppet, and a wisp of chaotic Immortal Qi emanated from his body, piercing through the void like a gossamer thread.
"Puff."
A soft sound.
A fist-sized hole appeared out of thin air in the chest of the Quasi-Saint puppet. The Chaotic Devil Qi was instantly evaporated by the immortal Immortal Qi. Its body froze in place, then split open from the middle, turning into countless dark red fragments.
"What?!"
The remaining six ancient freaks, all of whom were Holy Sage King, took a step back in unison, a rare flicker of fear appearing in their pupils.
"Too slow."
Lin Fan shook his head, raised his hand, and casually pointed a finger. A dark golden sword light burst forth from his fingertip, like a stretched ray of light, sweeping across the void.
"Puff puff puff puff puff puff!"
Six soft sounds rang out almost simultaneously.
A thin bloodstain appeared simultaneously on the forehead of each of the six ancient Sage King, Chaotic Devil Qi was extinguished instantly, like an oil lamp being stubbed out.
They didn't even have time to react.
They all fell backward, crashing onto the fragments of the star debris, like six shattered stone statues.
The whole process took less than two breaths.
Ji Kun stared in disbelief. "Your Highness... you've gotten stronger again?"
Lin Fan withdrew his fingers and stood with his hands behind his back. "It's alright, it just came out of my hand easily."
He turned his head and looked at the dark red storm of laws churning rapidly in the distance.
In the eye of the storm, a figure is rapidly approaching.
The figure was surrounded by dense, Chaotic Devil Qi, its aura like a walking dark red volcano, each step it took causing fine cracks to appear in the void.
" Wang Teng is here."
Gu Chen's voice was deep.
The dark red storm of laws abruptly stopped a hundred feet in front of Lin Fan, then slowly dispersed, revealing a figure in black robes.
