Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 337: Netherworld Ghost Slash

The black-robed man came with great momentum, and the powerful pressure was like a mountain pressing on Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's hearts, making them almost breathless. Li Xianren was the first to bear the brunt of it. He waved the whisk in his hand, and golden light flashed, turning into a golden barrier, barely blocking the black-robed man's attack.

"A mere trifle!" The black-robed man snorted coldly, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes. He formed his five fingers into claws and grabbed in mid-air, and the golden barrier instantly shattered like glass.

"Hurry! Now is the time!" Immortal Li shouted and shook the whisk in his hand. Three golden lights shot towards Gao Xingchen, Nanli and the man in black respectively.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li understood what he meant, and without thinking too much, they immediately sat cross-legged, formed seals with their hands, and activated the cultivation method they had just learned. The golden light sank into their bodies, and a stream of extremely pure energy instantly flowed through their bodies. The originally exhausted spiritual power quickly recovered like a long drought meeting a sweet rain, and it was even purer and more powerful than before.

The man in black robe obviously didn't expect that Li Xianren had this trick. By the time he reacted, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li had already completed their short training and their strength had greatly increased.

"Interesting," the black-robed man's eyes flashed with surprise, but then he returned to his sneer, "But, even if your strength has improved, what can it do? You are still vulnerable in front of me!"

Before he finished his words, the man in black robe flashed and turned into a black shadow, rushing straight towards Gao Xingchen.

Gao Xingchen did not dare to delay, and immediately mobilized the spiritual power in his body and punched out. A powerful punch shot out like an arrow from a bow, colliding fiercely with the attack of the man in black robe.

"boom!"

There was a loud bang, and the cave shook violently, with rocks flying everywhere. Gao Xingchen felt an overwhelming force coming at him, and he flew backwards, hitting the stone wall heavily.

"Xingchen!" Nan Li was frightened upon seeing this and hurried forward to check.

"I'm fine," Gao Xingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, struggled to stand up, his eyes full of solemnity, "This guy is stronger than we thought!"

"Don't worry, I'm here!" Nan Li's eyes flashed with a cold light, and she joined the battle. Her body movements were flexible and varied, and she shuttled around the black-robed man like a ghost, launching attacks from time to time. Although she could not cause substantial damage to the black-robed man, she effectively restrained his actions.

Immortal Li was also not idle. He kept waving the whisk in his hand, and golden light shot out, transforming into various magic weapons for attack, defense, and assistance. He exerted his strength to the fullest and created favorable fighting conditions for Gao Xingchen and Nanli.

However, the black-robed man was too powerful. Even facing the joint attack of Gao Xingchen, Nanli and Li Xianren, he was still able to handle it with ease.

"Is this all you have?" The man in black robe sneered as he dealt with the attack, "You really disappoint me!"

Before he finished speaking, the man in black robe suddenly grew in size, and a terrifying pressure swept across the entire cave.

"Oh no! He's about to use his ultimate move!" Li Xianren's face changed drastically, and he quickly reminded, "Get out of the way!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li also sensed the dangerous aura and tried to dodge, but it was too late...

The moment the black-robed man's body suddenly grew, an invisible pressure locked Gao Xingchen and Nan Li firmly. Li Xianren closed his eyes in despair. He knew that with their strength, they could not withstand this devastating blow.

At the critical moment, Nan Li's eyes were surprisingly calm. Years of career as a killer had trained her to have a keen intuition to find opportunities in desperate situations. She pushed Gao Xingchen away and whispered, "Trust me!"

Before Gao Xingchen could react, he felt a powerful force throwing him out, barely avoiding the attack of the man in black robe. Nan Li took advantage of the force and appeared behind the man in black robe like a ghost.

"Netherworld Ghost Slash!"

Nan Li let out a delicate cry, and a jet-black dagger appeared in her hand. The dagger emitted a cold light, as if it came from the Netherworld, which made people shudder.

The man in black robe obviously didn't expect Nan Li to have this trick, and was caught off guard, and Nan Li cut his sleeve with a knife. Although there was no injury to his skin, he was still frightened and broke into a cold sweat.

"Damn it!" The man in black robe roared and turned around to attack Nan Li.

However, at this moment, Gao Xingchen had already adjusted his body and punched the black-robed man on the back.

"Collapse Heaven Fist!"

With this punch, Gao Xingchen gathered all his strength, like a volcanic eruption, unstoppable!

With a loud bang, the man in black was knocked away by Gao Xingchen's punch, hitting the stone wall heavily, and blood spurted out of his mouth.

"Good opportunity!" Upon seeing this, Li Xianren became excited and quickly urged the whisk in his hand. Rays of golden light shot towards the man in black robe like raindrops.

The man in black robe was seriously injured and could not dodge at all. He could only watch the golden light fall on him and explode into balls of dazzling golden light.

"Damn it! You ants, how dare you hurt me!" The man in black roared angrily and struggled to stand up.

However, how could Gao Xingchen and Nan Li give him this opportunity?

The two of them, one on the left and one on the right, pounced on the black-robed man again like two ferocious cheetahs. Nan Li's attack was like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, vicious and ruthless, and every move was deadly. Gao Xingchen's attack was open and closed, fierce and domineering, and each punch contained the terrifying power to split mountains and rocks.

Under the joint attack of the two, the black-robed man was defeated step by step, and his injuries became more and more serious. He knew that he might be defeated here today.

"Want to run? It's not that easy!"

Gao Xingchen saw through the black-robed man's intention at a glance, and with a flash of his body, he blocked his way.

"Today, you can't escape even if you have wings!" A cold light flashed in Nanli's eyes, and the dagger in his hand flashed with cold light, pointing directly at the throat of the man in black robe.

Facing the joint attack of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li, the black-robed man finally showed despair in his eyes...

The man in black robe knew that he would not be able to escape death today, so he suddenly laughed wildly towards the sky, his laughter filled with despair and grief. "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I am defeated. You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!"

Gao Xingchen was not fooled by his bluffing. He knew that a desperate man like him would definitely try to find someone to take with him before he died. He exchanged a cautious look with Nan Li, signaling her to be careful.

"Xingchen, be careful!" Nanli suddenly exclaimed, and saw the man in black robe took out a black ball from his arms and crushed it with force.

"Haha, die with me!" The man in black robe roared madly, his eyes full of madness.

The black sphere exploded, and a strange energy wave quickly spread, enveloping Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.

"Oh no, it's a space teleportation talisman!" Li Xianren's face changed drastically and he exclaimed in surprise.

Without time to think, Gao Xingchen grabbed Nan Li's hand and protected Li Xianren behind him. He circulated his true energy to the extreme, ready to withstand this force of space.

However, the power of the space teleportation talisman was far beyond their imagination. After a dizzying spin, Gao Xingchen and the other two disappeared from the spot, leaving behind only the mess on the ground and the smell of blood in the air.

……

After an unknown amount of time, Gao Xingchen slowly opened his eyes and found himself in an unfamiliar place. He was surrounded by a dense forest, with towering trees blocking out the sun. The sunlight shone through the gaps between the leaves, creating mottled shadows on the ground.

"Cough cough..." Li Xianren coughed violently a few times and slowly woke up.

"Where is Nanli?" Gao Xingchen looked around but did not see Nanli. He suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

"Li'er!" He called out anxiously, his voice echoing in the empty forest, but there was no response.

"Mr. Gao, don't worry. Miss Nanli is blessed by heaven, so she should be fine." Li Xianren comforted her, but he himself was unsure. The teleportation talisman's teleportation location was random, and where they were now and where Nanli was teleported to was still unknown.

Gao Xingchen forced himself to calm down. He knew that the most important thing now was to find Nan Li as soon as possible. He carefully observed the surrounding environment, hoping to find some clues.

"Mr. Li, have you noticed anything unusual?" Gao Xingchen asked.

Immortal Li shook his head and said, "I have never seen this place before, but judging from the concentration of spiritual energy around it, this should be a treasure land with abundant spiritual energy."

Gao Xingchen nodded, but he became more worried. The more abundant the spiritual energy, the greater the danger.

"Let's go. Let's find Nanli first." Gao Xingchen made a prompt decision and took Li Xianren towards the depths of the forest.

Shortly after they left, a figure in a black robe and a bamboo hat appeared silently at the place where they had been before.

"Humph, you actually let them escape." The black-robed man laughed coldly, "But this is just the beginning. You can't escape from my grasp!"

After that, the black-robed man turned into a black shadow and disappeared from the spot, leaving only a meaningful word echoing in the air: "The real battle has just begun..."

Gao Xingchen suppressed his surging emotions and searched the surroundings carefully, finally finding the unconscious Nan Li under a towering tree. He hurried forward to check and found that Nan Li was just over-consumed with spiritual energy and was not seriously injured, so he was relieved.

"Mr. Li, see if there are any herbs here that can restore spiritual power." Gao Xingchen said as he helped Nan Li up and let her lean on his arms.

Immortal Li looked around and soon found several herbs containing rich spiritual energy. He crushed them and fed them to Nan Li.

After taking the herbs, Nan Li slowly woke up. Seeing Gao Xingchen's concerned look, she felt warm in her heart and asked softly, "Where are we? How is the man in black robe?"

"We were teleported here by his space teleportation talisman, but we don't know the exact location yet. As for the man in black, he blew himself up and died." Gao Xingchen simply told Nan Li what had happened.

"Self-destruction? It seems that this mysterious organization is more troublesome than we thought." Nan Li frowned, and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"Li'er, do you still remember the man in black we caught before? He said that they were just following orders, and the real mastermind is someone else." Gao Xingchen said in a deep voice, "Although we got away with it this time, since the other party dared to attack our family, they will never let it go. We must find out the origins of this mysterious organization as soon as possible and find the mastermind behind it, so that we can completely solve the problem."

Nan Li nodded in agreement. "Xingchen, you are right. We cannot just sit there and wait for death. Since this mysterious organization can reach out to our family, it means that their power has infiltrated every corner of the star field. We must find out their purpose as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

"Well, I will contact the family as soon as possible and ask them to send more people to investigate the matter. We can't take it lightly either and must remain vigilant at all times." Gao Xingchen said, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

Just as the two were discussing countermeasures, a cold voice suddenly sounded in their ears: "Haha, what a touching scene! It's a pity that you don't have a chance!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li immediately became alert and looked up in the direction where the sound came from, only to see a figure in a black robe and a bamboo hat appear silently in front of them. They couldn't see his face clearly, but they could only feel a suffocating sense of oppression from him.

"Who are you?" Gao Xingchen protected Nan Li behind him and asked in a cold tone.

The man in black robe did not answer his question, but just smiled coldly, his tone full of ridicule and disdain: "You don't need to know who I am, you just need to know that you have fallen into my trap and will definitely die!"

"Humph, everyone can brag, it just depends on whether you have the ability to do it!" Gao Xingchen was not afraid at all, and there was a fighting spirit in his eyes.

"Looking for death!" The man in black robe shouted angrily, his figure flashed, and he disappeared from the spot in an instant.

"Be careful!" Nan Li exclaimed, but it was too late to stop it.
