1012: Chapter 1011 Successfully escaped, recruited 016

Buzz—

The layers of invisible light shields enveloping the planet instantly dissipated, revealing the true starry background outside.

At the same time, Elder Li and Elder Ying extremely unwillingly wiped away the Divine Sense imprints on their storage equipment, throwing several extraordinary-looking Storage Rings and bracelets at Wu Zhankong's feet.

The fleet in the starry sky also received orders. A streamlined small assault ship with flickering deep blue tail flames detached from the main fleet and slowly descended toward the planet's surface.

Wu Zhankong swept his Divine Sense, confirming that the resources and the spaceship were correct.

His true body moved his steps with difficulty to collect the storage equipment on the ground. Every step aggravated his injuries, but his gaze remained sharp.

"Very good, you're quite sensible."

He sneered and signaled the Purple-glow Clone holding Mo Yuan hostage to slowly retreat toward the descending assault ship.

The two Black-Robed Figures followed closely, their Qi firmly locked onto Wu Zhankong and his Clone, searching for any possible opportunity to save the person.

The atmosphere was tense to the extreme, like a string tightened to its limit that could snap at any moment.

Wu Zhankong's true body was the first to board the assault ship, quickly checking the control System and energy reserves. Then, standing at the hatch, he nodded to the Clone.

The Blood Qi Clone held Black Abyss hostage and retreated step by step toward the hatch.

"Release the Young Master!"

Elder Ying shouted sternly.

"What's the rush?" Wu Zhankong took Black Abyss, brought him under control, and then threw him aside like a dead dog.

"Once I reach a safe distance, I will naturally release this burden!"

Just as the Clone was about to step into the cabin with Mo Yuan at the last moment, another change occurred!

A sharp light flashed in Elder Li's eyes. He caught a tiny fluctuation in the true body's Aura due to severe injuries, as well as the momentary lag in the Flesh-and-blood Clone's movement as it was about to enter the cabin!

"Do it!"

As Elder Li sent a voice transmission, his and Elder Ying's figures blurred simultaneously like two bolts of black lightning tearing through space. One charged straight at Wu Zhankong's true body inside the cabin, while the other grabbed for the Clone holding Mo Yuan! They intended to resolve both targets with thunderous momentum!

"I knew you wouldn't be honest!"

Wu Zhankong seemed to have anticipated this, the purple glow in his eyes flashing again!

The Flesh-and-blood Clone didn't dodge or avoid. Instead, it grabbed Black Abyss and shoved him forward violently to meet Elder Ying's reaching palm, while the Clone itself detonated!

It wasn't an energy explosion, but rather transformed into a more intense and chaotic purple spiritual storm, instantly sweeping over Elder Ying and the nearby Black Abyss!

"Ah—!" Black Abyss bore the brunt of it, letting out a heart-wrenching scream as he clutched his head and rolled, his Divine Soul severely wounded.

Elder Ying's figure also stalled, his mind filled with illusions, and his movements slowed by half a beat.

Inside the cabin, facing Elder Li's ghost-like strike, Wu Zhankong's true body didn't meet it head-on at all; he directly activated the assault ship's overload mode!

Boom!

The deep blue tail flames instantly became blinding. The assault ship, like an arrow leaving a bow, lunged out at a speed far exceeding its design limit, directly smashing through the huge rock fragments falling due to the planet's disintegration and rushing into the vast starry sky!

"Chase him!"

Filled with shock and rage, Elder Li grabbed the unconscious Black Abyss, whose Divine Soul was wounded, and along with Elder Ying, who had just escaped the influence of the spiritual storm, they turned into two streaks of black light and instantly returned to the main ship.

The engines of several massive warships opened fully, turning around and frantically chasing toward the Star Domain where Wu Zhankong had escaped!

In the starry sky, that tiny assault ship trailed deep blue tail flames like a small boat in a storm. Although it was extremely fast, the fleet behind it, like ancient behemoths, followed closely with endless fury.

Wu Zhankong slumped in the pilot's seat, coughing up several mouthfuls of stagnant blood. His face was as pale as paper, and his Aura had weakened to the extreme.

He glanced back at the fleet pursuing him relentlessly, but there was no despair in his eyes, only endless satisfaction.

"Hahaha, that was truly satisfying... and the harvest isn't bad either."

Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, he felt the heavy storage equipment in his bosom. Forcing himself to rally his spirits, he set the nearest jump coordinates to the Endless Star Domain and began to absorb and refine those resources to recover from his injuries.

"Black Cloud Empire... Eldest Young Master Black Abyss, is it... I've remembered you!

But since my true body is already in the Black Cloud Empire, I suppose there's no need for me to take action myself."

The assault ship turned into a streak of light, resolutely plunging into the even more chaotic and dangerous depths of the Star Domain.

A new chase and escape had thus begun.

"You were once a person of Great Xia as well. Why are you unwilling to join us and protect Great Xia together?"

On a grassy plain somewhere on Blue Star, dozens of figures stood towering. Leading them were five terrifying figures with majestic Auras.

Four of them were covered in crimson bone armor, looking like a naturally formed set of battle armor. These four stood like guards, protecting the person at the very front.

Unlike those four, this person looked like an ordinary human, but his crimson-gold eyes gave off an inexplicable pressure.

These people were exactly 016 Corpse Ancestor Ning Qiancheng, his four subordinate Zombie Kings, and a crowd of Zombie Slavess.

At this moment, on the periphery of these dozens of people, countless dense, deep blue Ghost Army soldiers surrounded them.

"Our Daos are different, so we cannot plan together. Not taking action against Great Xia is already an act of mercy. The Lord gave me power, and I shall naturally repay him with my life!"

Ning Qiancheng's tone was calm yet carried an unquestionable firmness as he looked at the white-haired Baili Ziyuan, who exuded a cold Aura.

"As for you, you were saved by the Lord yet acted perversely. If you hadn't been saved by the Great Xia Four Kings back then, Lord Luo Xiu would have already cleared the house. And now you actually want me to join you in your foul deeds?!"

Ning Qiancheng suddenly revealed his killing intent. A scorching Corpse Fiend Energy abruptly erupted, clashing fiercely with the coldness that seemed to come from the depths of the Soul.

"I will ask one more time, do you truly intend to remain obstinate?"

Baili Ziyuan's greyish-white eyes reflected Ning Qiancheng's figure. At some point, he had already grasped that pitch-black Four Kings Scythe.

"The one being obstinate is you. Don't think you've got me for sure now. We are both fourth-tier; the outcome is still uncertain!"

With that, Ning Qiancheng took a step forward. The scorching Corpse Fiend Energy, like a blazing sun, dispelled the surrounding darkness. Simultaneously, his body swelled, revealing his Corpse Ancestor Form.

The crimson-gold bone armor, the wide and massive bone wings on his back, and the Black Moon Spear in his hand all displayed his ferocity.

"How about we make a bet? You and I will have a fair fight. If you win, I will let you all leave Blue Star. If I win, then you shall join Great Xia. How about it?"

"If you want to fight, then fight. Even if I die, it's impossible for me to betray the Lord. As for you, you'd better keep hiding here on Blue Star; otherwise, be careful that no one will be able to save you next time!"

A cold glint flashed in Baili Ziyuan's eyes. In the next moment, the two pairs of seemingly illusory wings on his back flapped, and he instantly disappeared from where he stood.
