Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 362: Protecting the World Together

The mysterious man's voice echoed in the ruins, as if it came from the abyss of the underworld, with a heart-pounding sense of oppression. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood at the highest point of the ruins, and the strong wind blew up their clothes, making a rustling sound. They stood back to back, and could feel each other's steady breathing and unwavering determination.

"Do you think that you can compete with me just by understanding a little bit of the Heart of the Stars? Ridiculous!" The mysterious man's voice was full of disdain and ridicule, "Today, I will let you see what real power is!"

As soon as the words fell, an invisible pressure surged from all directions, as if to crush Gao Xingchen and Nan Li into powder. Gao Xingchen felt a tightness in his chest and difficulty breathing, as if a mountain was pressing on him. Nan Li's situation was not much better. She was pale and her body was shaking slightly. It was obvious that she was struggling to hold on.

"Xingchen, be careful!" Nanli reminded in a low voice, with a hint of worry in his tone.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath and mobilized the power of the Star Heart in his body. Suddenly, a warm force flowed through his body, making his originally heavy body light. He held the Star Blade tightly, staring at the rolling darkness in front of him with a sharp gaze. He knew that the mysterious man was hiding in the darkness.

Suddenly, a blood-red light shot out from the darkness, as fast as lightning, heading straight for Gao Xingchen. Gao Xingchen had been prepared, and he slightly turned his body to dodge the attack. The blood-red light brushed his cheek, bringing with it a scorching wave of air, leaving a shallow red mark on his face.

"A mere trifle!" Gao Xingchen snorted coldly and swung the Star Blade. A dazzling starlight shot out from the blade and headed towards the blood-red light.

"boom!"

The starlight and the blood-red light collided with each other, making a deafening explosion. The powerful shock wave spread out from the collision point, shaking the entire ruins.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were knocked back by the shock wave and finally managed to stabilize themselves. They looked up and saw a figure slowly walking out of the darkness.

The figure was covered in a black cloak, and his face could not be seen clearly. One could only see a pair of cold and ruthless eyes emitting a faint green light, like an evil spirit from hell, which was chilling.

"You have succeeded in angering me." The mysterious man's tone was cold and emotionless, as if it came from the judgment of the Nine Nether Hell.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li did not dare to be careless, they knew that the real decisive battle had just begun...

As soon as the mysterious man finished speaking, his figure disappeared. Gao Xingchen's pupils shrank, and the Star Blade was across his chest, alertly sensing everything around him. The next moment, the mysterious man appeared behind Nan Li, with his claws carrying a faint green light, and went straight to Nan Li's back.

"Be careful!" Gao Xingchen shouted, and at the same time flashed to try to stop the mysterious man's attack.

However, the mysterious man was too fast, and Gao Xingchen was still a step too late. The sharp claws pierced Nan Li's shoulder, and the blood instantly dyed her clothes red.

"Nanli!" Gao Xingchen's eyes were bloodshot, his Heart of Stars began to beat violently, and a warm and powerful force surged through his body. He hugged Nanli tightly, and the healing power of his Heart of Stars continuously flowed into her body, repairing her injuries.

Nan Li groaned, a look of pain appearing on her pale face, but she quickly calmed herself down, held Gao Xingchen's hand with her backhand, and infused the power of the Heart of Stars into his body.

"Xingchen, don't be distracted by me, let's kill him together!" Although Nanli's voice was weak, her tone was extremely firm.

Feeling the power filling his body, Gao Xingchen's eyes lit up with flames. He gently put Nan Li down, and the Star Blade turned into a silver lightning, heading straight for the mysterious man.

The mysterious man obviously did not expect that Gao Xingchen and Nan Li would have such cooperation. He was slightly stunned, and then sneered: "Death struggle!"

His figure disappeared again, dodging Gao Xingchen's attack, and then appeared behind him, with his sharp claws and fierce wind, attacking Gao Xingchen again.

However, this time Gao Xingchen was prepared. He dodged the attack by leaning sideways and slashed at the mysterious man with his backhand. The mysterious man had to turn around to block. The two figures kept interweaving in the ruins, with swords flashing and energy fluctuations raging, and the entire ruins were shaking.

With the blessing of Nanli's star power, Gao Xingchen's attack speed and strength have been greatly improved. Each of his attacks contains the power of the heart of the stars, as if stars are falling with the power to destroy the world.

Although the mysterious man was powerful, he gradually felt exhausted when facing the joint attack of Gao Xingchen and Nan Li. His defense began to show loopholes and his movements became slow.

"Damn it!" The mysterious man roared, his eyes becoming even more vicious. He realized that if he continued like this, he would most likely be defeated by Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.

The mysterious man took a deep breath and prepared to exert a stronger force, while Gao Xingchen was also looking for his flaws. He knew that the decisive moment was coming...

The mysterious man roared, and black air rolled around him, as if he was about to release some powerful moves. Gao Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and the light on the Star Blade became brighter. He knew that the time for the decisive battle had come.

The two figures crossed again, and between the flashes of swords and shadows, energy fluctuations swept across the ruins like a tsunami. Gao Xingchen relied on the power of the Heart of Stars to predict the mysterious man's attacks, and each attack was extremely accurate, forcing the mysterious man to retreat step by step.

Nan Li was watching the battle closely. She knew she couldn't act rashly, otherwise it would only cause trouble for Gao Xingchen. What she had to do was to give the mysterious man a fatal blow at the most critical moment!

Finally, after a fierce collision, Gao Xingchen caught a fleeting flaw. The mysterious man's body was unstable, revealing a gap.

"Now!" Gao Xingchen roared in his heart, and a dazzling light burst out from the Star Blade. He poured all his strength into this attack, like a falling meteor, with the power to destroy the world, going straight for the heart of the mysterious man!

At the same time, Nan Li also moved. She appeared behind the mysterious man like a ghost, and a dagger emitting cold light appeared in her hand. With a flash of cold light, it pierced the mysterious man's back!

"No!" The mysterious man roared in despair, but was powerless to resist the fatal blow. The Star Blade and the dagger hit the target at the same time, and the two powerful forces combined into one, forming a devastating energy wave that instantly swallowed up the mysterious man!

The mysterious man was completely helpless in the face of this powerful force. His body trembled violently like a candle in the wind, and eventually turned into ashes and disappeared into the air, leaving behind only an unwilling wail echoing in the ruins.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li looked at each other, and saw the joy of surviving the disaster in each other's eyes. They stood side by side, looking at the ruins that were gradually returning to peace, their hearts filled with the joy of victory, but also a little heavy.

Although the mysterious man has been eliminated, this battle has made them realize that there are still many unknown dangers in this world and their power is far from strong enough.

"Xingchen, we still have to work hard to protect everything we want to protect." Nanli looked at Gao Xingchen with determination in his eyes.

Gao Xingchen clenched the Star Blade in his hand and nodded solemnly. He knew that their adventure had just begun, and there would be more challenges and tests waiting for them on the road ahead...

As the mysterious man turned into ashes, the dark power raging in the ruins also dissipated like the ebb tide. The light of the Heart of the Stars penetrated the thick clouds and descended on the earth again, bringing long-lost warmth and light to this devastated land.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li stood side by side at the highest point of the ruins, overlooking the world below bathed in golden sunlight. Mountains, rivers, plants and living creatures were all greedily absorbing the power from the Heart of the Stars, radiating vitality.

"We won." Gao Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile on his face.

"Yes, we won." Nan Li leaned lightly on his shoulder, a rare gentle smile showing on her cold face.

At this moment, they had no hatred or killing in their hearts, only the joy of victory and the satisfaction of protecting this beautiful land. They knew that this hard-won peace was won by countless people with their lives and blood, and they would never let the tragedy happen again.

Gao Xingchen held Nan Li's hand tightly, his eyes firm and deep: "Li'er, let's protect this world together, okay?"

Nan Li raised her head and looked at him, their eyes reflecting each other's figures and the shining heart of the stars. She nodded solemnly: "Okay, we will protect it together forever."

They smiled at each other, interlocking their fingers, as if nothing in the world could separate them. The light of the Heart of Stars stretched their figures very long, like a pair of guardian angels, silently guarding this land and their home.

In the days that followed, Gao Xingchen and Nan Li began to repair the destroyed world. They shared the power of the Heart of the Stars with those who had been devastated by the war, helping them rebuild their homes and heal their wounds.

Thanks to their efforts, the world gradually regained its former prosperity, and people's faces showed happy smiles again. Gao Xingchen and Nan Li's names were praised by the world, and they became the symbol of peace and the embodiment of hope.

However, just as they were enjoying this brief moment of peace, a more powerful dark force was quietly rising in the dark. The Fire Cloud Evil God, a terrifying existence that had been sealed for thousands of years, was about to break free!

A bigger crisis is quietly approaching...
