140: Chapter 140 Let's see who can defeat whom.

"They're here..."

Inside the pillar of light, Xing Yaoyan watched the approaching wave of black Star Beasts with a solemn expression.

She did not know if she could hold them off, but... this was the best solution she could find to survive this crisis.

Raising her hand to wipe away the remaining fragments of spirit crystals from the corner of her mouth, Xing Yaoyan slowly closed her eyes and began to walk steadily toward the surging tide of Star Beasts.

With every step she took, the golden pillar of light dimmed slightly, while her Aura increased in intensity.

Golden light condensed upon her body, and her familiar golden soft armor gradually manifested.

The pillar of light eventually vanished completely, but the golden glow on the young girl was dazzling to the extreme.

The hair tie holding her hair snapped under the powerful fluctuation of energy, and her snow-white hair, coated in golden light, instantly cascaded down, floating in the air against gravity.

"Clang!"

A long golden sword appeared out of thin air before her, and she reached out and grabbed it.

The moment she grasped the sword, her eyes snapped open.

A pair of beautiful wolf eyes shot out golden light condensed to the extreme, and an unprecedented Aura gathered around the young girl.

"It's been a long time since anyone has seen my complete form..."

She thought to herself, while simultaneously observing the overall changes in the Star Beast tide.

These Star Beasts were rushing here from the direction of the Ferris wheel; they were densely packed, making it the perfect opportunity to strike first.

"Perfect, I can use that move I tried back in the mine."

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ground centered around the young girl cracked layer by layer, and dense spiderweb-like fissures spread in all directions.

She suddenly held the golden sword of light vertically in front of her, and the golden Power Of Will on her body began to churn violently.

Driven by the golden Power Of Will, the sword of light rapidly elongated, shooting straight into the sky. From a distance, it looked as if a golden crack had suddenly appeared in the heavens.

"Sky Splitter!!!"

Xing Yaoyan slammed her hands downward, and the golden beam, which seemed to slice the sky open, followed her movement and slashed viciously toward the oncoming wave of black Star Beasts.

"Roar! Roar..."

Somewhat to her surprise, these Star Beasts did not dodge or evade, but chose to meet the attack head-on.

She knew that her Power Of Will was the extremely pure Star power that Xiao Dao had described, and she knew that most Star Beasts would find it hard to resist the temptation of this power. But she had not expected them to be so crazy as to dare to clash directly with her full-force attack.

The Star Beasts lined up along the golden beam that was slashing down, hugged it tightly with their claws, and then actually opened their mouths to devour it frantically.

"What!"

Xing Yaoyan was shocked once again.

Some of the Star Beasts had their bodies sliced in half by the beam, yet they still desperately clung to it, as if determined to taste the power within the golden light even if it meant death.

Under such bizarre circumstances, they managed to withstand her attack.

The two sides reached a stalemate.

"Damn it..."

Just then, the other Star Beasts that hadn't been attacked swarmed forward, joining the tide that was resisting the golden beam.

"Crunch~ Crunch~"

Xing Yaoyan's hands trembled slightly; she discovered that the Power Of Will she had condensed into the "Sky Splitter" was being rapidly drained.

These Star Beasts were actually eating her attack!

"Very well... I've always been the one devouring others, I never thought there would come a day when I'd be the one being eaten..."

The young girl clad in golden armor curled her lips slightly, and a look of madness gradually emerged in her eyes.

"However, I'd like to see who can devour whom!"

"Xiao Dao, Little Chaos, let's fight them! Star Swallowing Art! Devour!"

Xing Yaoyan shouted, and the massive amount of golden Power Of Will, which had been condensed to the extreme on the golden beam, instantly changed form, rapidly spreading inward through the wounds of the Star Beasts.

The next instant, various colors of Star power, carrying a large amount of Breath of the Abyss, surged into her spiritual sea.

The Chaos Beast and the Zhan Yuan Beast in her spiritual sea were both ready. They had a clear division of labor: Xiao Dao was responsible for digesting the Breath of the Abyss, and Little Chaos was responsible for helping to purify the newly digested Power Of Will.

For a moment, the golden beam, which had been in jeopardy, stabilized once again, returning to a state where it could contend with the Star Beast tide.

"Hahaha! Die!!!"

With the intake of a large amount of Breath of the Abyss, even though Xiao Dao was consuming it with all its might, some still accumulated in Xing Yaoyan's spiritual sea, increasing at a steady rate.

Red light, symbolizing loss of control, slowly gathered in the young girl's eyes. Even as a Heaven-Swallowing Star Wolf with high resistance to the Breath of the Abyss, she inevitably began to be slowly affected.

Although her sanity was gradually slipping away, the goal in her eyes remained unchanged: to completely crush this group of inferior species that dared to challenge her!

...

"Thud!" "Thud!" "Cough, cough..."

Captain Li Qiaoyan only felt her vision flash, and she instantly landed on the ground.

She hurriedly scanned her surroundings.

"This..."

Looking at the golden beam that seemed to tear the sky apart and the black tide of Star Beasts gathered there resisting it, she felt her worldview suffer a severe shock.

"Senior..."

The young man's weak voice rang out from behind her.

"Qian Mo, are you okay!"

Too shocked to care about anything else, she hurriedly turned around and saw Qian Mo kneeling on one knee, one hand supporting himself on the ground with difficulty, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping from his face.

"Hoo... don't worry about me... I've just exhausted my spiritual power, and I'm a bit weak..."

He wanted to say something more, but his physical weakness no longer allowed him to speak a complete sentence.

At the final moment before his consciousness faded, he looked up at the massive, imposing beam of light in the sky and revealed a knowing smile.

"I knew you hadn't left..."

The voice was very soft, but Captain Li Qiaoyan, whose nerves were on edge, heard it clearly.

"Thump..."

The young man eventually could not hold on and collapsed to the ground.

"Qian Mo!"

Captain Li Qiaoyan rushed over and reached out to check his breathing; only after finding it still steady did she breathe a sigh of relief.

She then looked again in the direction of the golden beam, her expression complex for a moment.

She hadn't felt it before, but after hearing his words, she suddenly recalled the Star Beast white wolf, Xing Yaoyan, whom she had captured previously. The fluctuation of power on this beam was exactly the same as what she had felt from her back then.

Her "Spear of Judgment" had a very strong perception of Aura, so she could almost completely conclude that the one helping to draw the attention of the Star Beasts was none other than Xing Yaoyan, who had been missing for a long time!

What she didn't know was that when Qian Mo spoke just now, his consciousness had actually been blurred. He had thought the golden light he saw was the golden Demonic Power emitted by Young Miss Xing Yan, and he hadn't expected this beautiful misunderstanding to indirectly help Captain Li Qiaoyan identify the newcomer.

"Even if she saved us... but..."

Captain Li Qiaoyan knew that if she took the opportunity to destroy the barrier core now, the Star Soul Ritual prepared in advance by the Security Bureau would be activated immediately. At that time, this suddenly appeared Xing Yaoyan would inevitably be affected.

In her view, of the two sides currently stalemated, the golden beam was faintly suppressing these Star Beasts. If no external force intervened, she would likely win this test of strength.

But... if time dragged on, what would happen to those people who were already seriously injured and waiting for rescue?

"Qian Mo, I might have to do something that hurts you again..."

Thinking of this, she slowly stood up, narrowed her eyes, and gazed into the distance at the phantom of the young girl in golden armor behind the golden beam.

Then she turned around firmly, her nano-battle armor spewing blue flames, carrying her as she sped off in the direction of the barrier core...
