Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 211 Adding insult to injury

The spacecraft was shaking violently, like a small boat in a storm, which could be swallowed by the huge waves at any time. Nan Li held the control console tightly, trying to stabilize her body. The communication system was in chaos, and the harsh noise made it difficult for her to concentrate.

"Damn it!" Nan Li cursed in a low voice, trying to control the spaceship. She knew she couldn't just sit there and wait for death, she had to get rid of this powerful force as soon as possible.

She took a deep breath, mobilized all her spiritual power, and injected it into the power system of the spacecraft. The spacecraft roared and its speed increased suddenly, trying to break through the restraint.

However, that force was like a maggot on the tarsal bone, tightly wrapped around the spacecraft and constantly pulling it down.

"Xiaobai, prepare for battle!" Nanli gave the order decisively, and at the same time increased his perception to the extreme, trying to find the source of this power.

"Squeak!" Xiaobai responded and jumped onto Nanli's shoulder, his pair of red eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly.

The spacecraft finally crashed on the "Netherworld Star" and hit a huge meteorite. Nanli and Xiaobai were shocked by the huge impact and finally managed to stabilize themselves.

Without taking a break, Nan Li immediately began to check the damage to the spacecraft. Fortunately, the spacecraft's defense system was still intact, but the power system was severely damaged and could not be repaired in a short time.

"It seems we can only walk." Nanli sighed, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

She opened the cabin door and walked out with Xiaobai.

A thick black fog filled the sky above the Netherworld, covering the sky and the sun, and making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face. Underfoot was a desolate black land, with strange-shaped rocks and craters everywhere, as if it were a dead world.

Nan Li moved forward cautiously, always alert to the surroundings. She knew that this place was full of dangers and that if she was not careful, she would be doomed.

After walking for about an hour, Nanli arrived in front of a huge black palace. The palace's door was closed, and there were many hideous and terrifying patterns carved on it, which made people shudder.

Nanli knew that this was the mysterious man's lair.

She took a deep breath, mobilized all the spiritual power in her body, and blasted open the palace door with one palm.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the palace gate was blown into pieces, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Nanli rushed into the palace without hesitation, and Xiaobai followed closely behind.

The interior of the palace was pitch black, and Nan Li was groping forward when suddenly a cold light came from the darkness and went straight for her throat.

Nanli was prepared and dodged the attack with a quick move.

"Who are you?" A cold voice came from the darkness.

"Here comes to take your life!" Nan Li snorted coldly, and a ball of fire condensed in his hand, illuminating the surrounding environment.

A mysterious man wearing a black robe and a black hood appeared in front of her. He had a black mask on his face, so his true appearance could not be seen.

"Just you?" The mysterious man sneered, with a hint of disdain in his eyes.

"You can try!" Nan Li was not afraid at all. He waved the flame in his hand and attacked the mysterious man.

The mysterious man was not to be outdone. He waved the black blade in his hand and fought with Nanli.

Both were masters, and their moves were ruthless and merciless. For a moment, the palace was filled with flames and swords, and a battle was about to break out.

Nan Li gradually gained the upper hand with her flexible body movements and powerful spiritual power. Just as she was about to deal a fatal blow to the mysterious man, a charming voice suddenly sounded:

"Oh my, what a wonderful battle!"

A woman in a red gauze skirt walked out of the darkness, twisting her waist like a water snake. She had a stunning face, a pair of bewitching eyes, and every move she made was full of temptation.

"Fairy Zhou?" Nan Li frowned, with a bad feeling in his heart.

"Long time no see, Sister Nanli." Fairy Zhou smiled softly, her eyes flicking back and forth between Nanli and the mysterious man. "I didn't expect you two would fight so fiercely. It's really exciting!"

"What are you doing here?" Nan Li asked vigilantly. She knew that Fairy Zhou was not a good person and her appearance was definitely not a good thing.

"Of course I'm here to lend you a helping hand!" Fairy Zhou said with a smile, but a sly light flashed in her eyes. "But before that, I want to talk to you alone, is that okay?"

As she spoke, she threw a coquettish glance at Nan Li, her tone full of temptation.

Fairy Zhou approached Nan Li, stretched out her delicate hand, wanted to touch her cheek, and said, "Sister, why do you have to be so repulsive? If you and I join forces, what can we not get in this world?"

Nan Li coldly avoided her touch, his eyes as sharp as a knife: "Fairy Zhou, stop pretending here! There is a rift between you and me, what is your purpose for appearing here today, why not just tell me!"

Fairy Zhou chuckled, not angry, but moved closer to Nan Li and whispered in her ear: "My dear sister, can't you see? No man in this world is reliable. Only power and strength are the eternal pursuit. Why do you have to be my enemy for a man?"

As she spoke, she quietly sent a strange fragrance into Nanli's nostrils. This fragrance was elegant and sweet, but it had a strange magic that could confuse the mind and make people feel excited.

However, who is Nan Li? She has experienced countless life and death tests and has an unshakable will. This mere incense has no effect on her at all.

Her eyes flashed, and the spiritual power in her body circulated, instantly dispelling the fragrance. At the same time, she grabbed Fairy Zhou's wrist with her backhand, twisted it hard, and subdued her to the ground.

"You!" Fairy Zhou never expected that Nan Li could see through her trick so easily, and act so decisively and ruthlessly. She was shocked and angry at once.

"Fairy Zhou, I advise you to give up this idea!" Nan Li looked at her coldly, without a trace of pity in his eyes, "I will never forgive you, today either you die or I die!"

As soon as she finished speaking, suddenly, a powerful pressure came from the depths of the palace, as if a mountain was pressing down on one's head, suffocating one.

Nan Li was startled and looked up suddenly, only to see that the mysterious man had broken free from the shackles of the battle at some point and was standing on a high place, staring at her with a cold and resentful look, with a cruel smile on his lips.

Oh no! I've fallen into a trap! Nan Li realized that she had just acted on impulse and subdued Fairy Zhou, but she also exposed her whereabouts, giving the mysterious man an opportunity to take advantage of her.

At this moment, the mysterious man moved! He formed seals with his hands and muttered something. A wave of energy that could destroy the world gathered around him, forming a huge energy ball that smashed down towards Nan Li!

The energy ball, with its destructive power, fell towards Nanli like a meteorite. Nanli's heart was alarmed, but she was restrained by Fairy Zhou and could not avoid this fatal blow at all.

"Hahaha! Nanli, you have finally met your fate!" The mysterious man laughed wildly, his eyes filled with the pleasure of revenge. He had waited for this day for too long.

The breath of death loomed in Nan Li's heart, but she was surprisingly calm. Gao Xingchen's figure flashed through her mind, that face that always had a warm smile like the sun, but now it seemed so vague and distant.

"Xingchen, I'm sorry, I broke my promise after all..." Nanli closed his eyes, waiting for the final judgment of fate.

However, the expected severe pain did not come. Nan Li opened her eyes in confusion, only to see a white figure blocking in front of her, taking the terrifying energy ball.

"Xiaobai?!" Nanli exclaimed.

Xiaobai is Gao Xingchen's spiritual animal, a little snow-white fox. It is now covered in blood, its white fur is stained red with blood, and its originally smart and cunning eyes are filled with pain and determination.

"Squeak..." Xiaobai called weakly twice, as if responding to Nanli's concern.

"Why are you doing this?" Nan Li was extremely sad.

Xiaobai held on to his last breath, stuffed something into Nanli's hand, and said intermittently: "Master... he... he woke up... let me tell you... ahem..."

Before he finished speaking, Xiaobai's body turned into starlight and dissipated between heaven and earth.

Nanli opened her palm with trembling hands, and saw a crystal clear jade pendant lying there quietly, with Xiaobai's warmth still on it.

This is Gao Xingchen's personal jade pendant, and it is also the witness of their love.

"Xingchen, you are still alive!" Nan Li held the jade pendant tightly, tears welling up in her eyes, but this time, it was not despair, but hope.

The message that Xiaobai was determined to convey at all costs was undoubtedly a ray of hope in the midst of despair. Gao Xingchen was still alive and had already woken up!

"Fairy Zhou, I've remembered what happened today! We have a long way to go, and we'll fight to the death!" Nan Li stood up suddenly, shooting a cold gaze at Fairy Zhou, his tone as chilly as ice.

After saying this, she no longer wanted to fight, and her figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

Fairy Zhou looked at the direction where Nan Li disappeared, with a meaningful smile on her face. She was not in a hurry, because she knew that the good show had just begun.

At this moment, Gao Xingchen, who was thousands of miles away, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes were shining with light, and an unprecedented powerful force surged in his body.

"Nanli, wait for me, I'm coming to save you!"

Nan Li held the jade pendant, and felt a warm current flowing from her fingertips to her whole body. Gao Xingchen was still alive, which was more important than anything else. She took a deep breath, wiped the tears from her face, and cheered up again. She wanted to live and wait until Gao Xingchen came to pick her up!

At this moment, a dazzling light streaked across the night sky, accompanied by a deafening dragon roar, and a huge five-clawed golden dragon descended from the sky and hovered above Nanli's head. The golden dragon was majestic, its scales shone with golden light under the moonlight, and its pair of dragon eyes were piercing, exuding an aura of looking down on the world.

"Nanli, I'm late!" Gao Xingchen jumped off the dragon's back and landed steadily beside Nanli. He changed into a golden robe, which made him look even more handsome and tall, like a god descending from heaven.

"Xingchen!" Nan Li was surprised and delighted, and threw herself into Gao Xingchen's arms. At this moment, all her grievances and worries turned into tears, and she vented them out to her heart's content.

Gao Xingchen hugged Nan Li tightly, stroked her hair gently, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, I'm here, everything will be fine."

"I'm so glad you're okay!" Nan Li raised her head and looked at Gao Xingchen with tearful eyes. After confirming that he was unharmed, she finally felt relieved.

"I'm sorry to have made you worry." Gao Xingchen wiped the tears from Nan Li's face with heartache, "I rushed here as soon as I woke up. Fortunately, I made it in time." He paused, and his eyes swept around, finally falling on Fairy Zhou and the mysterious man not far away. His eyes instantly became sharp.

"It was you who hurt her?" Gao Xingchen's voice was icy cold, as if it came from the Netherworld, making people shudder.

Feeling the powerful pressure emanating from Gao Xingchen, the faces of the mysterious man and Fairy Zhou changed drastically. This power was far beyond their cognition!

"Gao Xingchen, don't be so complacent! Even if you have made a breakthrough, you will never leave here alive today!" The mysterious man roared in a timid manner, and at the same time began to form seals with his hands, preparing to launch the final killing move.

Gao Xingchen smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "You are not worthy!"

After saying that, he waved his hand, and a golden light whizzed out, instantly enveloping the mysterious man.

"Ah!" After a scream, the mysterious man turned into a ball of blood mist and completely disappeared between heaven and earth.

"Xingchen, you..." Nanli looked at Gao Xingchen in surprise. She could feel that Gao Xingchen's strength was more than twice as strong as before!

Gao Xingchen turned around, smiled gently at Nan Li, and said, "I'll tell you slowly after I've dealt with the matter here." He paused, and turned his gaze to Fairy Zhou, who was already frightened to the side, with a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "As for you, it's time to pay the price for what you did!"

However, just as Gao Xingchen was about to take action, something strange happened!

"Hahaha! It's not that easy to kill me!" The mysterious man laughed crazily before he died. He quickly formed seals with his hands, and the whole nest shook violently. "Bury them all with me!"

"Oh no, he's going to self-destruct!" Nan Li's face changed drastically and he exclaimed.

"Let's go!" Gao Xingchen made a quick decision, pulled Nan Li up, and ran away.

However, it's too late!

boom--

After a deafening roar, the entire nest collapsed in an instant, turning into ruins...
