Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 310: Sudden Changes

The giant claw, with a suffocating pressure that seemed to be able to tear everything apart, grabbed Gao Xingchen and Nanli. At the critical moment, Gao Xingchen grabbed Nanli and turned into a stream of light, narrowly avoiding the attack of the giant claw.

"Bang!" The giant claw slammed heavily on the ground, and the ground cracked and the rocks opened, and dust flew up. The entire temple seemed to be collapsing under this devastating force.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li steadied themselves and looked up, only to see a huge monster covered in black scales slowly crawling out from underground. Its eyes were like burning flames, emitting a terrifying light.

"What kind of monster is this?!" Nan Li frowned, her eyes filled with solemnity.

"I don't know either." Gao Xingchen shook his head. "It seems that the black shadow is so cruel that it released such a terrifying monster to deal with us!"

"Roar!" The monster roared deafeningly and rushed towards Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. Every step it took caused the ground to shake violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

"Be careful!" Gao Xingchen pushed Nan Li away and swung the Meteoric Sword in his hand. A dazzling sword light whizzed out and slashed towards the monster's head.

"Dang!" The sword light collided with the monster's scales, making a sound of metal clashing. However, what shocked Gao Xingchen was that his full-strength attack did not hurt the monster at all!

"What a strong defense!" Gao Xingchen was shocked. The defense of this monster was simply terrifying!

"Roar!" The monster roared again, opened its bloody mouth, and bit towards Gao Xingchen. The fishy breath hit him in the face, making him sick.

Gao Xingchen didn't dare to take it head-on, and dodged the monster's attack. However, the monster was very fast, and after missing the first blow, it immediately turned around and pounced on Gao Xingchen again.

Gao Xingchen fought fiercely with the monster. For a moment, swords flashed and roars shook the sky. The entire temple seemed to have turned into a purgatory on earth.

Nan Li was not idle either, she held a long whip in her hand, her body was erratic, and she kept attacking the monster's weaknesses. However, the monster had thick skin and flesh, and although Nan Li's attack could cause some damage to it, it could not really hurt its roots.

"Damn it!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood back to back, resisting the monster's attack, their hearts filled with anxiety. If this continued, they would be exhausted by the monster sooner or later, and then they would be in danger!

However, at this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed out from the side, with the sharp blade in his hand going straight for Gao Xingchen's back.

"Be careful!" Nan Li was quick-eyed and quick-handed, waving the whip to force the black shadow back.

"It's you!" Gao Xingchen saw clearly who was coming, it was the black shadow who was injured by him before!

“Hahaha, Gao Xingchen, you didn’t expect that I’m not dead yet!” The black shadow laughed wildly and said, “Today, I will make you pay the price!”

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were immediately caught in a situation where they were attacked from both sides. On one side was a powerful monster, and on the other side was a sinister and cunning black shadow. Their situation became even more dangerous...

"Xingchen, be careful!" Nan Li shouted, and the long whip in her hand stretched out like a spirit snake, wrapped around a boulder, and smashed it hard at the monster. The boulder shattered, but the monster just shook its head, unharmed.

At this moment, a burst of crazy laughter came from a distance: "Hahaha, Gao Xingchen, Nanli, you have come to this day too!"

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were startled and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Village Leader Wang and his men walking towards them aggressively.

"Master Wang, what do you want to do?" Gao Xingchen asked in a deep voice.

"What? Of course we are taking advantage of the situation!" Village Chief Wang sneered, "Your Xingchen Pavilion is facing internal and external troubles now. It is a good time for me to replace you!"

"Despicable villain!" Nan Li shouted angrily.

"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit, it has been like this since ancient times!" Village Chief Wang waved his hand, "Go ahead, kill them!"

Village Chief Wang's men immediately rushed forward and surrounded Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were attacked from both sides, and the situation was extremely critical. They fought fiercely with the monsters and the subordinates of the village leader Wang. However, the long battle had exhausted their physical strength, and they gradually gained a lot of scars on their bodies.

Gao Xingchen's Falling Star Sword dimmed, and Nanli's whip also became powerless. The two of them were forced to retreat again and again, and they were about to collapse.

"Hahaha, Gao Xingchen, Nanli, your doomsday has come!" Village Chief Wang laughed wildly with triumph.

At this moment, a white light suddenly fell from the sky...

The white light was like a flash of lightning, and instantly fell in front of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. The white light dissipated, and Xiaobai's huge figure appeared in front of everyone. It stood there majestically, with a pair of golden eyes coldly scanning the surroundings, as if a guardian god had descended.

"Xiaobai?!" Gao Xingchen and Nanli were both surprised and delighted. They didn't expect that Xiaobai would suddenly appear at this critical moment.

"Roar!" Xiaobai let out an earth-shattering roar, and an invisible pressure instantly swept across the entire battlefield. The monster was actually frightened by this pressure, and its movements became slow. Village Chief Wang and his men were also stunned by this sudden change, and for a moment they even forgot to attack.

"Xiaobai, can you deal with it?" Gao Xingchen asked, pointing at the monster.

Xiaobai didn't answer, but nudged Gao Xingchen gently with his nose, signaling him to rest assured. Then, he turned to face the monster, with fighting spirit burning in his eyes.

"Roar!" Xiaobai roared again, and his figure flashed, and he turned into a white shadow and rushed towards the monster. It was as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye it rushed in front of the monster, waving its huge claws and slapping the monster's head fiercely.

"Boom!" With a loud noise, the monster was slapped away by Xiaobai's claws and hit heavily on a mountain in the distance. The mountain trembled violently, and countless rubble rolled down. The scene was very horrifying.

When Wang Zhaizhu saw this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly. He did not expect that this suddenly appearing white beast would be so powerful that it could repel the monster with one move.

"Damn it! Let's go together and kill this beast!" Village Chief Wang roared and rushed towards Xiaobai first. His men also reacted one after another, waving their weapons and besieging Xiaobai.

Xiaobai was not afraid of being besieged by the crowd. He dodged flexibly and waved his huge claws to slap the approaching enemies away one by one. For a while, screams were heard one after another, and the men of the Wang village were beaten to a pulp by Xiaobai.

"Good opportunity!" Gao Xingchen's eyes flashed when he saw this. He said to Nanli, "Nanli, let's take advantage of this moment to practice! The time Xiaobai buys for us won't be too long!"

Nan Li nodded, and the two of them sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice. The true energy in their bodies circulated rapidly, absorbing the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth.

Under Xiaobai's guidance, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li practiced for a whole day and night without distraction. Finally, they completed the final practice and mastered the method to restrain the mysterious figure.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li opened their eyes, their eyes gleaming with brilliance. They stood up, and a powerful aura emanated from their bodies, making the surrounding space seem to solidify.

"Master Wang, your doomsday has come!" Gao Xingchen said coldly.

"And you, the rat hiding in the dark, it's time to show up!" Nan Li's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the Netherworld.

At this moment, a cold voice came from a distance: "Hahaha, Gao Xingchen, Nanli, you actually really mastered this technique, it seems that I still underestimated you!"

As the voice sounded, a figure wearing a black robe and a bamboo hat, whose face could not be seen, slowly walked towards them from a distance...

The black-robed figure slowly approached, and every step seemed to step on everyone's heart, bringing a heavy sense of oppression. He lifted his bamboo hat, revealing a pale and thin face, with deep eye sockets, flashing a cold light.

"Do you think that you can compete with me with this mere technique?" The man in black robe sneered, his voice hoarse and harsh, "Everything you do is just a futile struggle!"

Before he finished speaking, he flashed and turned into a black lightning, heading straight for Gao Xingchen. His speed was so fast that it was almost impossible to catch with the naked eye. Gao Xingchen's pupils shrank, and without time to think, his internal Qi circulated wildly, and he greeted it with a palm.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the two powerful forces collided with each other, and an earth-shaking energy wave erupted. The surrounding trees were instantly razed to the ground, and sand and rocks flew everywhere, covering the sky and the sun.

Gao Xingchen only felt an overwhelming force coming at him, and his body flew backwards involuntarily, falling heavily dozens of meters away. He struggled to stand up, but he felt the blood in his body surging, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.

"Xingchen!" Nan Li was shocked when he saw this, and quickly flew over to support Gao Xingchen.

"I'm fine!" Gao Xingchen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes full of determination, "Let's go together!"

Nan Li nodded, and the two stood side by side, looking firmly at the black-robed man opposite them. They knew that this was a battle of life and death, and they could not retreat in the slightest.

The black-robed man saw this and a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes. He formed seals with his hands and muttered something, and a strange aura emanated from his body.

"Be careful!" Gao Xingchen felt a powerful force gathering and quickly reminded.

At this moment, a sudden change occurred!

A golden light descended from the sky and turned into a huge golden light shield, covering Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. The black-robed man saw this and his face changed drastically, and he exclaimed, "Who is it?!"

The golden light slowly dissipated, and a young man in a green shirt and with a handsome face appeared in front of everyone. He held a whisk in his hand, with a faint smile on his face, giving people a feeling of being bathed in spring breeze.

"Scholar Chen?!" Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were surprised and delighted when they saw who it was.

"Haha, it seems I came at the right time." Scholar Chen smiled slightly, turned his gaze to the black-robed man opposite him, and a gleam of brilliance flashed in his eyes, "Who are you, Excellency, and why are you making things difficult for my friend?"

The man in black robe had a gloomy face and said nothing, as if he was very afraid of the appearance of Scholar Chen.

Who is Scholar Chen that makes the powerful black-robed man so fearful? And what impact will his appearance have on this battle?
