Jiyuan in Danger, Sam Arrives to the Rescue [7k] (Continued)

Beside him, Ji Yuan and Xing could clearly sense a strong water element.

"Alright, prepare to launch the attack."

Ji Yuan was also preparing to unleash his Dragon Lord's Mystery to launch an attack. However, just as he was about to attack, he saw Xing's puzzled expression.

He asked Xing, "Why are you making that face?"

"That Dan Heng can change his form even Dragon Lord's Mystery, why can't you?"

"Sorry, I'm really lame for not being able to transform."

Ji Yuan remained silent in response to Xing.

"All right."

Xing was very disappointed.

Dan Heng glanced at Ji Yuan and Xing and immediately urged, "Alright, let's not waste any more time."

"Um."

Ji Yuan nodded, and then simultaneously jumped from the train into the air to prevent the train from being affected by the fluctuations in their energy. After they were some distance away from the train, the two began to draw upon the operating methods belonging to the High Elder from their bodies, preparing to unleash the Dragon Lord's Mystery.

Ji Yuan and Dan Heng both extended their right hands, forming a hand seal for casting spells. However, unlike Ji Yuan Dan Heng, Ji Yuan was also holding Xing in his other hand.

The two cast their spells almost simultaneously, and after a burst of golden light, two dragon-shaped energy bodies, roughly the same length as the Astral Express, appeared.

However, the two are still different.

Dan Heng Imbibitor Lunae's dragon-shaped energy is composed of water elements, making it a clear water dragon; while Ji Yuan's dragon-shaped energy is a giant ice element dragon carved from ice and jade.

The two exchanged a glance, then brought the two dragon-shaped energy bodies together.

Ji Yuan shouted to Welt and Himeko inside the Astral Express:

"Mr. Welt, Himeko- neechan, let's get going!"

"Clear."

Inside the train, Welt, Himeko, and Pom-Pom's voices rang out simultaneously.

The train's engines started, and the Astral Express prepared to depart. Before departure, the two colossal energy dragons, a water dragon and an ice dragon, intertwined and charged forward.

At that moment, the Baryon also unleashed their energy attacks. Each of them emitted relatively little energy, but this energy converged directly into a central point in a semi-circular shape. Once the energy reached the center, it formed a giant energy sphere, resembling a miniature sun.

As soon as the energy sphere formed, Ji Yuan and Dan Heng's dragon-shaped energies arrived before it. The ice dragon and water dragon simultaneously opened their mouths and forepaws, beginning to tear at the energy body.

Following the giant dragon, the Astral Express sped forward.

The dragon tore at the energy ball, and after two roars, it ripped the energy ball away to the left and right. However, at this moment, the dragon-shaped energy was also completely exhausted and dissipated.

The Baryon's attack has ended, but the crisis for the Astral Express is not over. Those Baryon are still blocking the train's path to Jarilo, and if they cannot be dealt with, they will invite a second attack from the Baryon.

Seeing this, Dan Heng looked at Ji Yuan and said, "My energy can only sustain my own flight. The rest depends on you."

Ji Yuan nodded and said to Xing, "Xing, now it's up to you to lend me your power."

"Good."

Without further ado, Ji Yuan swiftly extracted the power belonging to the star core from Xing's body. After the turbulent star core energy passed through Ji Yuan's body, he used the Dragon Lord's Mystery to gather it into a new giant dragon.

The pure destructive power of the star core was several times larger than the ice dragon and water dragon that Ji Yuan and Dan Heng had just released, and its horns were even more prominent, making it look extremely terrifying.

"Open it for me!"

Ji Yuan roared and then released the berserk dragon formed from star core energy in his hand once again.

The gray dragon swiftly passed the Astral Express and arrived directly in the Baryon group.

Upon entering the group, the Star Core Dragon instantly exploded. The combined attack of the gathered Baryon was powerful, but individual Baryon were insufficient in both attack and defense. Faced with the destructive energy of the dragon's explosion, they were completely unable to resist and were annihilated.

The violent explosion caused Ji Yuan, Dan Heng, and Himeko March 7th, who were witnessing the blast, to involuntarily close their eyes.

Although its eyes were closed, the Astral Express continued its journey without stopping. It continued its planned route towards Jarilo.

Ji Yuan had excellent control over the dragon's energy, and the cosmic creature encyclopedia he had obtained also described the strength of Baryon, so his control over the explosion was extremely precise. Just as the Astral Express entered the blast radius, the explosion disappeared, leaving a cavity in the Baryon swarm just large enough for the train to move forward.

This is the optimal timing. If it's too early, the surrounding Baryon will completely fill the void. If it's too late, the train might enter the blast radius and be affected.

The train sped through the Baryon group. Ji Yuan, Dan Heng, and Xing breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

Okay, the train is safe now.

Looking at the remaining Baryon and the other Anti-Matter Legion that had resurfaced around them, Ji Yuan turned to Xing and Dan Heng beside him and said, "I estimate that after the train enters the atmosphere, Himeko or Mr. Welt will come to rescue us. The rest is just a matter of surviving among these Anti-Matter Legion."

The situation is not yet one to relax completely. After Ji Yuan unleashed two High Elder attacks and Dan Heng also unleashed a full-force attack, the three of them did indeed have little power left in their bodies. Facing the siege of the Anti-Matter Legion, they still had to be careful.

"Hmm, I still have a lot of energy stored in my body. You guys hide behind me first." Dan Heng shielded Ji Yuan and Xing behind him. Watching the seeds fly towards him, he extended his sword finger and released a series of water energy attacks.

Those Baryon were completely unable to react to Dan Heng's imaginary number attack and were directly destroyed.

At this moment, the Tramplers of the Anti-Matter Legion also rushed up. Dan Heng wanted to help Ji Yuan and Xing escape danger again, but Ji Yuan had already manipulated two flying swords so that he and Xing could stand on them and move around.

"No need, Dan Heng, just take care of yourself. I can handle the enemies here."

Ji Yuan took out a replica of the Zhi Li Sword and hurled it at the trampling figure charging towards him. The sword was extremely heavy; even disregarding its sharpness, it could be used as a sledgehammer.

When the greatsword slammed down, the trampler was unable to resist and was smashed into a pile of mud by Ji Yuan.

However, Ji Yuan's body was also heavily depleted at this moment. After smashing several trampling warriors into mincemeat, her strength was almost completely exhausted. When facing the trampling warriors' attacks, she switched to a defensive stance.

We just need to wait for Himeko and the others to arrive.

Meanwhile, Xing, facing the attacks of the Voidranger, initially swung her Baseball Bat and slaughtered them. However, after killing a few, she felt her strength waning. After glancing at Ji Yuan and Dan Heng, she switched to a defensive stance.

Just wait here for rescue to arrive.

Faced with the seemingly endless attacks, Ji Yuan, Dan Heng, and Xing instinctively huddled together, forming a triangle.

The three of them could support each other, which saved a lot of effort. With the three of them in this position, Ji Yuan and the others clearly felt that the pressure was much lighter.

The speed at which those Anti-Matter Legion were eliminated also increased significantly.

Ji Yuan sent one of the tramplers flying, and at that moment he suddenly felt the pressure in front of him lighten considerably. Not only him, but Dan Heng and Xing, who were standing to the side, also clearly felt the pressure lessen significantly.

Xing was about to be happy, but when she turned around and saw that Ji Yuan and Dan Heng's expressions had become even more serious than before, she also suppressed her happiness, gripped the Baseball Bat tightly in her hand, and tried her best to gather all the remaining strength in her body.

"Are these guys holding back some kind of big surprise?"

Ji Yuan thought to himself with a somber expression.

He had calculated the speed of the Astral Express; at this point, neither Himeko nor Welt Yang could return in time to provide assistance. The fact that the Anti-Matter Legion had halted its attack meant they were likely preparing something big.

Just as Ji Yuan was pondering, a heavy war horn suddenly sounded around him. Ji Yuan listened in his mind and felt an aura of destruction approaching.

Ji Yuan looked around and saw ten tall figures appear in the starry sky. They were too far apart for Ji Yuan to make out the dark matter-driven engines on their chests. The next second, the figures approached Ji Yuan and his companions, allowing them to see their full forms.

Doomsday Beast

Ten Doomsday Beast appeared simultaneously around Ji Yuan and the others.

Ji Yuan broke out in a cold sweat upon seeing this situation.

Even at his peak, he could only handle two at most, and even then, he could only guarantee survival, not defeat. Dan Heng, in his Imbibitor Lunae state, could achieve roughly the same. Xing was even less capable, only able to win one-on-one.

Now, with their strength almost completely exhausted, a full ten Doomsday Beasts have appeared.

Ji Yuan currently only has one Doomsday Beast among his summoned creatures, which is no match for ten of them.

Xing couldn't help but smile wryly and said, "This is a bit troublesome..."

Dan Heng clenched his fist and said to Ji Yuan and Xing, "I'll hold them off, you guys retreat first."

Even though he had experienced a lot on the Xianzhou last time, which eased Dan Heng's inner knots considerably, his first thought in this situation was still to sacrifice himself.

Compared to Ji Yuan and Xing, who have a long and wonderful future ahead of them, Dan Heng intends to leave the hope of survival to Ji Yuan and Xing.

Ji Yuan retorted at this moment, "I'll handle this. At least I have a much better chance of surviving than you."

He also possesses an immortality that mimics Blade's, though it is far inferior to the original Blade. However, it can withstand attacks from the Doomsday Beast for a longer period of time, perhaps until Himeko others arrive to rescue him.

"I don't want to..."

Before Dan Heng could say anything, he suddenly felt Ji Yuan shove his shoulder into his chest. Ji Yuan's last remaining strength propelled him towards the planet Jarilo. At the same time, Ji Yuan also grabbed Xing's arm and flung her towards Jarilo as well.

Dan Heng and Xing never expected Ji Yuan to do such a thing. By the time they reacted, they were already some distance away from Ji Yuan. Only Ji Yuan was left facing ten terrifying Doomsday Beast.

"Ji Yuan, come here too!"

"Ji Yuan, let's deal with this together as a group of three."

Dan Heng and Xing shouted at the same time.

Ji Yuan did not answer, but simply waved his hand with his back to the two people.

"I usually cherish my life the most, so why do I like to play the hero when it comes to danger, without wanting others to get hurt? I'm really a bit of a jerk."

Looking at the Doomsday Beast in front of him, Ji Yuan smiled bitterly and muttered to himself.

But in an instant, his expression also became excited.

"Although it's somewhat dangerous, I still intend to live safely for another hundred years. You guys can't stop me from surviving."

The Doomsday Beast were extremely large, making Ji Yuan appear tiny in comparison.

Despite this huge difference in size, Ji Yuan's aura was by no means weak.

Gripping his longsword tightly, he prepared to exert all his strength.

Opposite him, ten Doomsday Beast simultaneously began to gather their power. The atmosphere in the surrounding starry sky became tense.

Silence, utter silence.

At this moment, Ji Yuan felt that all the sounds around him had disappeared, and he could clearly hear his own heartbeat.

Thump thump thump—

Under such tense circumstances, Ji Yuan's heart was pounding violently.

At that moment, he felt his body begin to feel hot.

"I will set the sea ablaze!"

A heavy and urgent voice exploded in Ji Yuan's ears.

Turning my head, I saw a towering flame rushing towards me from afar, leaving behind an extremely magnificent band of fire.

The entire starry sky turned fiery red.

The Doomsday Beast also began to move quickly. However, compared to those Doomsday Beasts, the firelight was even faster. A streak of firelight swiftly reached Ji Yuan's side, swept him up in its arms, and rushed off to the other side.

In the firelight, Ji Yuan could see who was carrying him.

Stellaron Hunter Sam.

The towering mecha carried Ji Yuan, its feet bursting with flames, making it move at an extremely fast speed.

At that moment, a Doomsday Beast appeared in their path, and Sam kicked it without thinking.

A fiery kick landed heavily on the Doomsday Beast, sending it Sam before it could even react. Ji Yuan's keen eyes could see a cracked gash on the Doomsday Beast's body.

Goodness, that was a really hard kick.

Ji Yuan thought to himself.

Sam kicked the Doomsday Beast aside, and there was nothing else to stop him. The Anti-Matter Legion's Voidranger were ignored by Sam and instantly incinerated into ashes.

With such an attraction, all the Doomsday Beast and the Anti-Matter Legion were drawn to them, while Dan Heng and Xing were ignored.

After carrying Ji Yuan to a slightly farther place, Sam put him down. Looking at the Anti-Matter Legion, Sam said to Ji Yuan, "Alright, we've escaped the encirclement of the Anti-Matter Legion."

"Yes, thank you so much for today."

Ji Yuan thanked Sam.

"No need. I just happened to be on a mission nearby and saw you, so I just went to save you. After all, whether you're an enemy or a friend, the experience of being with you has been very good. Not to mention we need your help now." Sam looked up slightly, avoiding Ji Yuan's gaze. "In the future, just don't take such risks. I can't always be there to save you in time."

"Yes, I'll be careful. I was prepared for this, but I didn't expect that a total of ten Doomsday Beasts would appear here."

Ji Yuan nodded repeatedly in response to Sam's advice.

"The Anti-Matter Legion has always been a major enemy of us Stellaron Hunter. In particular, although Celenova is not as good as Huanzhulong in terms of conspiracy, she is much better than Phantylia in terms of battlefield strategy. We must be extremely careful when facing her."

"I see."

Seeing that Ji Yuan seemed to have taken his words to heart, Sam showed a satisfied expression.
