295: Chapter 295 Rescue

A peculiar golden light suddenly lit up on that hand. As the Spirit Talisman was enveloped by the golden light, the blue spirit rune on it, which symbolized full activation, slowly dimmed.

"You've got to be kidding me... This is a Spirit Talisman from the ruins... How could it possibly be interrupted..." Li Shishi's mouth was slightly agape, her gaze dull as she watched everything unfolding before her.

These Spirit Talismans were only found in the ruins of the Land of Destruction. The spirit runes on them were extremely intricate, each with different functions, and to this day, no one has been able to fully decipher them; they could be said to be extremely precious supplies. More importantly, it was a consensus among everyone in the know like them that a Spirit Talisman could not be interrupted before its effect was fully realized.

It was precisely because of the powerful functionality and scarcity of these Spirit Talismans that numerous exploration teams flocked to the Land of Destruction, and why the prices of related Spirit Talismans on the market were driven so high.

But today, you tell her that the empirical theorem that "Spirit Talisman usage cannot be interrupted" had actually been forcibly broken by someone...

Just as Li Shishi was doubting her own life, Xing Yaoyan was looking thoughtfully at the Spirit Talisman she had just peeled off the young man on the ground.

This blue spirit rune, this familiar material, this outstanding aesthetic... Isn't this exactly the same as Qian Mo's teleportation Spirit Talisman?

She casually put this Spirit Talisman away.

Just kidding, this Spirit Talisman was something she picked up off the ground, so of course it was hers...

She then turned her attention to the three people beside her.

When she was observing the battle from above, she had seen clearly: this red-haired beauty must have given up the last escape opportunity given to her by the black-haired man beside her, choosing instead to leave it for this unconscious companion, and even said she wanted to die together with that man...

Hmm... truly moving... But well, now that I'm here, you don't all have to die anymore~ Although, before that, you'll have to behave yourselves...

Xing Yaoyan smiled, then delivered a hand chop to the man still standing beside her.

Shangguan Mingyue was already in a semi-conscious state, and under Xing Yaoyan's increasingly practiced technique, he collapsed heavily to the ground without a sound.

"Thud..."

The sound of the man hitting the ground made Li Shishi's delicate body tremble slightly.

"No... He's not dead, he still has Qi..."

Glancing at Shangguan Mingyue's still slightly rising and falling chest and abdomen, Li Shishi quickly made a judgment.

"Looking at the hand, it should be a young woman... When did she discover us... Is she taking advantage of our misfortune..."

She thought of many things, but could never figure out the mysterious woman's purpose.

If the other party didn't have malicious intentions, why did she knock out their captain, and why did she take the Spirit Talisman from Yun Liu with such peace of mind? If she was just taking advantage of the situation, why didn't she just kill them, as they were already at their limit? This didn't fit the unspoken rules of the Land of the Abyss...

Unable to figure it out, Li Shishi simply stopped caring. She now had only one thought in her mind — to have this mysterious woman save them.

Although she couldn't sense the opponent's strength in her current state, since the other party dared to appear here directly, she must be confident enough to retreat unscathed from the encirclement of this group of Six-Trace Star Souls...

She wanted to beg, but her body's weakness no longer supported her to say a single word.

"There's no other way, then there's only..."

The red-haired woman forced herself to endure the fainting spell, slightly turning to face the newcomer, and then, with a "bang," her other knee also slammed heavily onto the ground. Her original single-knee kneeling turned into a double-knee kneeling, symbolizing submission and humiliation.

"I beg you... please save us... even if... just one is fine..."

Now, in the cave, she was the only one from the Starlight Exploration Team who was still conscious, and she was the only one with the ability to seize the opportunity for more people to survive. This wasn't submission, nor was it fear of death; this was her final responsibility as the "big sister" of "Starlight"...

At this moment, hearing the commotion, Xing Yaoyan's delicate body trembled as well.

She abruptly looked down at the red-haired woman crawling on the ground.

"No way, big sister, didn't I see that you should have exhausted your spiritual power and fainted? How do you still have consciousness? Just faint obediently for me!" Xing Yaoyan shouted in her heart.

She repeated her old trick and delivered a hand chop to the back of the red-haired woman's head.

The other party let out a muffled groan but didn't faint.

"What?!"

"Beg..."

"Bang!"

Li Shishi had just weakly uttered one word when, the next moment, she simply fell to the ground under the girl's second hand chop.

Xing Yaoyan leaned down to test her breath and breathed a sigh of relief inwardly.

"Thank goodness..."

For this second hand chop, she had used about double the force of the first, nearly half of her own strength, and finally managed to knock out this tough beauty.

If Li Shishi could hear this at this moment, she would definitely have a bitter, sorrowful smile:

Family, who understands this? Just because I practiced my basics solidly and did too much anti-strike training, do I have to be "dealt a heavy blow" like this...

Finally done, Xing Yaoyan dusted off her hands and looked with satisfaction at the three unconscious people on the ground.

Then she casually grabbed three small black cubes out of thin air; they were her old friends — Black Prison.

Three rays of light flashed over the three people, and their figures disappeared into thin air.

Watching the three Black Prisons light up with white light, Xing Yaoyan immediately grasped them tightly in her palm.

There was no other way; Black Prisons containing living things could not be put into storage space and had to be carried by hand. Moreover, the weight would increase, making it unsuitable for manual transport, but this point was not a problem for Xing Yaoyan at all...

Xing Yaoyan raised her head to look at "Zhao Yan" and the group of Star Souls slowly approaching from that side, a faint glimmer in her eyes.

Actually, to be honest, she really wasn't sure if she could save someone who had already been possessed. Not to mention whether she could force the Star Soul out of his body, he was now Tier 6! How could she possibly defeat him without "Xing Yaoyan" [referring to herself/her full power]?

Besides, she wasn't a good person either; why should she risk her own life for others?

Thinking of this, Xing Yaoyan shook her head and decisively gave up on Zhao Yan.

She turned around, her eyes lighting up with golden light, and quickly found the small metal object stuck in the rock crevice.

"So this is the device that can shield perception, it's actually so compact..."

Even the perception of Six-Trace Star Beasts could be fooled; this thing was surely more powerful than that Illusion Array Cube.

Although it had its drawbacks, for example, the range of aura shielding was cylindrical, only blocking perception from four directions, and it required the user to charge it themselves, but compared to its advantages, these were all acceptable.

As early as when Xing Yaoyan had swapped down, this device had already stopped working, and it was relying on her own ability that she had briefly shielded the Star Souls' perception, and now, looking at their gradually agitated appearance, they must have discovered that there were four possessable bodies here.

However...

"Sayonara~" Xing Yaoyan gave an evil, charming smile.

She snapped her fingers at the same time. A golden light flashed, and her figure disappeared along with it, leaving only the confused Star Souls looking at each other...

Suddenly, one of the Star Souls let out an angry roar. This sound could only be heard by Star Souls, and the meaning within could only be understood by Star Souls.

Hearing the sound, almost all the Star Souls looked in one direction, and then they all roared in unison.

Because that possessed person had also disappeared, and they had even lost their last hope of possession...
