Chapter 405 Star Trial
"It's the bastards from the Obsidian Society!" Gao Xingchen recognized the people at a glance, and anger burned in his chest. These guys actually chased here!
“Hmph, Gao Xingchen, hand over the Heart of the Star and perhaps I can spare your lives!” The leading man in black spoke arrogantly, as if he was sure of victory.
"Wishful thinking!" Nan Li snorted coldly. A cold light flashed in her hand, and a slender soft sword appeared in her hand, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at the opponent.
"Looking for death!" The leader of the men in black became furious when he saw that the other party was not afraid at all. He waved his hand and the men in black behind him pounced on him like a pack of wolves.
"Protect the Heart of the Stars!" Gao Xingchen gave the order, and everyone immediately deployed their troops to fight the men in black. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li led the way, shuttling through the crowd like two flashes of lightning, and wherever they passed, the men in black fell to the ground one after another.
During the fierce battle, Gao Xingchen discovered that these men in black were much stronger than those he had encountered before. They were obviously the elite of the Black Obsidian Society. It seemed that they were determined to get the Heart of the Star.
"We can't fight any longer, we must enter the Lost Land first!" Gao Xingchen made a prompt decision and gave an order for everyone to fight and retreat, heading deep into the Lost Land. The men in black pursued them relentlessly, but the Lost Land had a complex terrain and distorted space, so they dared not rush in and could only watch Gao Xingchen and the others disappear in the thick fog.
"Brother Xingchen, what should we do now?" Nanli asked after entering the Lost Land.
"Let's find the entrance to the Star Ruins first." Gao Xingchen looked around. The thick fog covered the sky and the sun, making it difficult to tell the direction.
"According to ancient records, the entrance to the star ruins is hidden in a valley. In the valley there stands a towering ancient tree, and under the tree is the entrance." Nan Li recalled the records in ancient books.
"Okay, let's split up and search, and notify each other immediately when we find any clues." After Gao Xingchen said this, he led a group of people and walked in one direction.
In the Lost Land, dangers are everywhere. Gao Xingchen and his companions move forward cautiously, breaking various ancient mechanisms and traps along the way. Some places require teamwork to pass, while others require Gao Xingchen and Nan Li to use the power of the stars to overcome danger.
"Brother Xingchen, look!" Nanli suddenly said, pointing forward.
Gao Xingchen followed Nan Li's gaze and saw a towering mountain vaguely visible in the thick fog ahead. On the mountain, a towering ancient tree reached into the sky, as if connecting heaven and earth.
"It's there!" Gao Xingchen was delighted and led everyone to run quickly towards the mountain.
However, just as they were about to reach the foot of the mountain, a powerful pressure descended from the sky and enveloped them.
"Who dares to trespass into the star ruins!" A majestic voice echoed between heaven and earth.
The thick fog rolled, as if a giant beast was turning over in it, and the pressure was like a mountain pressing on everyone's hearts, making it difficult for them to breathe and walk. Gao Xingchen endured the pressure and looked up, only to see a mighty figure wearing golden armor and holding a spear descending from the sky, like a god.
"Who are you?" Gao Xingchen asked in a deep voice, but he was secretly alert in his heart.
"I am the guardian of the stars, responsible for guarding the star ruins and preventing anyone with ill intentions from entering." The golden-armored warrior spoke in a cold tone, his eyes like lightning, scanning Gao Xingchen and the others, "You should leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!"
Gao Xingchen was about to explain when suddenly, a cry of killing was heard in the distance. Then, a group of men in black rushed out from the fog. They were the members of the Obsidian Society who had been chasing them before.
"Oh no, they are chasing us!" Nan Li's face changed. It seemed that the Obsidian Society had not given up and had been following them secretly.
“Hahaha, Gao Xingchen, you can’t escape!” The leading man in black laughed wildly, “Hand over the Heart of Xingchen obediently, or today will be the day you die!”
"Looking for death!" Gao Xingchen was furious. These guys were so persistent!
"Brother Xingchen, be careful!" Nan Li hurriedly reminded him upon seeing this. At the same time, the soft sword in his hand stabbed out like a spirit snake, forcing back several men in black who were trying to launch a sneak attack.
"You go in first, I will stop them!" After Gao Xingchen said this, he waved his sword and rushed towards the man in black.
Seeing this, the golden-armored warrior frowned slightly and snorted coldly: "You overestimate your own abilities!" After that, he no longer paid attention to Gao Xingchen and the others, turned around and walked towards the entrance of the Xingchen ruins.
Gao Xingchen, Nan Li and others fought and retreated, however, the Obsidian Society was obviously well prepared this time, with a large number of people, and each of them was very powerful. Gao Xingchen and others gradually fell into a disadvantage.
"Brother Xingchen, we can't go on like this. We will be exhausted to death by them!" Nanli said anxiously.
"I know, I must find a way to break out!" Gao Xingchen was thinking about countermeasures while resisting the attacks of the men in black.
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the side and went straight to Gao Xingchen's face. Gao Xingchen was caught off guard and was hit in the chest by the black shadow. He immediately vomited blood and flew out backwards.
“Brother Xingchen!” Nan Li exclaimed upon seeing this, and quickly flew over to catch Gao Xingchen, and asked anxiously, “How are you?”
Gao Xingchen only felt a sharp pain in his chest and difficulty breathing. He endured the pain and shook his head to indicate that he was fine.
"Don't talk, I'll help you heal." Nan Li said, then took out a pill from his arms, fed it to Gao Xingchen, and then used his internal energy to heal him.
Seeing Gao Xingchen injured, Nan Li was extremely anxious. Her usually cold face was now filled with worry and tenderness. Gao Xingchen looked at Nan Li in front of him, and a warm current surged in his heart. He held Nan Li's hand and said softly, "I'm fine, don't worry."
However, just as Gao Xingchen finished speaking, two roars suddenly came from afar, and then two figures rushed into the battle circle like lightning. They were the Gao family heads and the Nan family heads! As soon as the Gao family heads and the Nan family heads joined the battle, the situation was reversed in an instant. The two family heads had profound cultivation, and their every move contained great power. The Gao family head slapped out with one palm, and the violent spiritual power turned into a roaring lion, instantly knocking several men in black away, while the Nan family head had a ghostly figure, and the long sword in his hand turned into cold light, and every flash took away a life.
"Father!" Gao Xingchen felt much more at ease when he saw his father's figure.
"Xingchen, how are you?" the head of the Gao family asked with concern, and at the same time fought back a man in black who tried to launch a sneak attack.
"I'm fine, father." Gao Xingchen shook his head. After taking the pill Nan Li fed him, his injuries had improved a lot.
"Hmph, these rats from the Obsidian Society actually dare to come and die!" The Nan family leader snorted coldly, murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Under the leadership of the two family heads, Gao Xingchen and others were like tigers descending from the mountains, unstoppable. The people from the Obsidian Society were defeated step by step, and eventually some died and some escaped.
"Let's go!" Gao Xingchen gave an order, and everyone rushed towards the entrance of the Xingchen ruins.
After passing through the thick fog, the view suddenly opened up. I saw an ancient altar standing in the valley. The area around the altar was engraved with mysterious runes, exuding an ancient and vicissitudes of life atmosphere.
"Is this the star ruins?" Gao Xingchen looked at the scene in front of him, his heart filled with shock.
"That's right, the key item to seal the God of Darkness is on the altar." Nanli said.
Everyone stepped onto the altar carefully, each step was extremely heavy. Finally, they came to the center of the altar, and saw a crystal ball quietly suspended in the air, emitting a soft light.
"This is..." Gao Xingchen was just about to reach out to touch the crystal ball when suddenly, something strange happened!
The entire altar shook violently, the crystal ball shone brightly, and a golden light shot up into the sky, transforming into a mighty figure wearing golden armor and holding a spear.
"Star Guardian!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, and an ominous premonition arose in their hearts at the same time.
"You have passed the test and are qualified to enter the Star Ruins, but this has also triggered the final test." The Star Guardian's voice was loud and resounding throughout the valley. "Only by passing my test can you obtain the key item to seal the Dark God."
Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were startled. They knew that the real test had just begun...
