137: Chapter 137 Silver Spear

When a character with broken mechanics suddenly possesses infinite mana and zero cooldowns, we can only offer our deepest sympathies to his enemies.

Just like now, when the Star Beasts thought this Esper who had suddenly rushed out was just a small snack with a bit of strength, like the ones they had eaten before, the young man's subsequent performance instantly left them dumbfounded.

The moment Qian Mo was exposed, two massive Star Beasts instantly surrounded him, and two fists larger than his entire body smashed toward him from the left and right.

BOOM!

The two fists struck home, the ground cracked, and the resulting shockwave kicked up a massive cloud of dust.

Roar?!

Under the shocked gazes of these two Star Beasts, their fists actually began to tremble slightly, and then they uncontrollably moved backward.

Soon, the young man's figure was slowly revealed between the two fists.

He was expressionless, each hand catching a giant fist. Golden patterns had appeared on his body at some point, and he seemed to withstand the full-force strike of these three-mark Star Beasts without much effort.

Bang! Bang!

Qian Mo's hands suddenly exerted force, using the force-deflecting methods of Taiji to guide the two fists in his hands to cross to either side. Then, taking advantage of the two Star Beasts leaning forward because they couldn't hold their strength, he kicked them one by one, sending them flying.

The massive bodies of these two Star Beasts violently knocked away several other Star Beasts on both sides. They piled up and plowed through the ground for over ten meters before finally coming to a stop.

Because of the random lucky potion, Qian Mo could currently ignore spiritual energy consumption. He instantly established a spiritual energy connection with the Star Beasts within a hundred-meter radius and used 'Balance of Equivalence: Exchange' on all of them simultaneously.

Because the volume of the connection was so large, he didn't need to stall for time like he did during his battle with Xing Yan.

Now, his strength increased every second, while simultaneously weakening the power of all the Star Beasts present.

It was just a pity that this ability had a certain upper limit on the absorption and weakening of power; otherwise, the two Star Beasts that had just attacked him wouldn't have just been sent flying.

Roar! Roar...

Seeing the young man's display of Divine Might, the surrounding Star Beasts didn't dare to step forward randomly for a moment, only roaring threateningly around him.

Although they seemed to have chickened out, Qian Mo knew they were just looking for a flaw, waiting for a sudden burst to defeat him in one strike.

However, this also gave him a chance to observe and think of a countermeasure.

Fortunately, he had used Phantasm Star Fluid to mask the aura of his Star Body; otherwise, these Star Beasts would have lunged at him in a complete frenzy without giving him any room to breathe.

“Hmph... then let’s continue, let’s see who can outplay whom...”

The young man let out a cold snort.

The next moment, he held two daggers in a reverse grip, and a cold aura spread from his body.

Without the slightest hesitation, he kicked off hard with both legs, his entire body turning into an afterimage as he rushed quickly toward the Ferris wheel.

He was currently racing against time, because the effects of the random lucky potion only lasted for half an hour, and once the effects wore off, he would instantly enter a weakened state.

“Roar, roar!”

Seeing the young man charging straight at them, the Star Beasts didn't hesitate either, immediately roaring as they swarmed forward.

Although they had raised their assessment of his danger significantly based on his performance just now, their assessment of his value as food had risen even more.

No Star Beast disliked delicious, power-filled food, even if that food was very strong.

Moreover, his strength wasn't so great that it exceeded their ability to hunt him; there was still a chance.

Although Qian Mo's own speed had reached an extremely terrifying level under the attribute bonuses of these two Spiritual Artifacts, his speed was still not enough compared to these monsters from the starry sky.

Cold light flashed, but it only left a few white marks on the Star Beasts' bodies. He wanted to follow up with a punch using his Star Body, but they seemed to realize the danger of the young man's gold-patterned fists and chose not to go head-to-head with him.

“As expected, they aren't that easy to deal with...”

Seeing that his sudden attack hadn't even torn open a single gap, Qian Mo felt a bit frustrated.

The killing techniques he had successfully used many times before actually had such a small effect on these Heaven-Defying monsters. No, it was that his Spiritual Artifacts' damage was too low; they weren't as effective as his own fists.

A cold wind approached from behind; Qian Mo knew the Star Beasts behind him had already attacked.

“So fast...”

He had originally thought his attack would briefly force back the Star Beasts in front, allowing him to continue through the gap, but the effect was poor, and his own pace was forced to a halt as a result.

His body was currently in mid-air, and there was no point of leverage for him to dodge this attack.

“However...”

The young man in the air suddenly smiled.

The next moment, his figure suddenly vanished, and a second later, it reappeared.

His entire being flickered like the screen of an old television set.

“Roar?!”

The Star Beast behind him had already reached where he was. It looked at its empty claws in surprise and doubt, seemingly not understanding how the young man could have dodged its attack.

“You don't understand the charm of game mechanics.”

Pfft!

A gold-patterned fist passed through its chest without hindrance, striking out a mist of purple blood.

Just now, he had used the original 'one-on-one duel' characteristic of the Balance of Equivalence to randomly select a lucky Star Beast to enter that space, and then exited at light speed. This caused his body to briefly flicker, thereby dodging the strike that should have been a guaranteed hit.

“@##￥@#...”

But what he didn't expect was that this Star Beast, whose chest had been blown open and was near death, suddenly made a sound he had never heard before.

It was like a murmur, like a prayer; the sound was long and lingering, making one feel desolation in their heart and lose all Battle Intent...

Qian Mo bit the tip of his tongue sharply, forcing himself to break out of this strange state.

“What is this sound...”

When he had fought alongside the wolf-demon girl suspected to be Young Miss Xing Yan in the mine and killed that Star Beast, it hadn't made such a sound, so he was completely unprepared for this.

Suddenly, a foul wind attacked from all directions.

“It's coming... What?!”

Qian Mo was shocked to find that the circulation of his spiritual energy was briefly obstructed; he was actually unable to use his Superpower for a moment.

“Damn it... is this the end...”

As the Star Beasts' claws gradually enlarged before his eyes, images flashed through his mind—some from his previous life, some from the present.

From his Master in his previous life, to Little White Wolf, to his friends, to the military training instructor who risked his life to save him, and finally stopping on Young Miss Xing Yan's valiant back.

The background was a strong white light, and the person in the image suddenly moved. She slowly turned her head to look at him, her white high ponytail gradually loosening, and her white wolf ears and tail appeared.

She suddenly smiled at him; it was the most beautiful smile he had ever seen...

Suddenly, the white light behind the girl became intense, completely swallowing her figure.

“Wait...”

He reached out to chase after her, and at that moment...

“Qian Mo! Don't give up!!!”

A girl's delicate shout rang out, sometimes far and sometimes near, sounding like her, but also not like her.

Qian Mo's body instantly froze. Unwilling to fall like this, unwilling to let go of the things he wanted to grasp, the spiritual energy in his body suddenly began to circulate at an unimaginable speed.

However, the attack was already in his face. There was no time!

BOOM!

At this critical moment, a familiar silver light flashed before his eyes.

Just like that scene from a long time ago, at the critical moment, that girl used a domineering force to sweep away the threat in front of him.

The Star Beasts that had already closed in were directly shaken back several steps by this sudden attack.

As the dust cleared, a silver spear radiating a powerful aura was thrust into the chest of the Star Beast that had previously attacked Qian Mo, and a girl's figure slowly appeared.

“Senior Sister Qiaoyan, long time no see...”
