Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 28 Before Dawn
"Sizzle~~~"

Wisps of dazzling electric light danced and spread around Qi Yuan.

One, two, three... in the blink of an eye, there were thousands upon thousands of them—

"Boom~~~"

Endless, violent, and terrifying lightning surged and expanded wildly, instantly transforming the entire several-hundred-meter-long passage into a sea of ​​lightning!

Before Qi Yuan's figure was completely engulfed by the endless lightning, Hu Ge heard a voice filled with unwavering determination and resolve coming from within the lightning—

"Run! I'll hold them off with my life. If I can escape, please help protect my people!"

"Whoosh~"

The figures of Lao Wu and the others vanished instantly, concealed by the lightning.

Hugo, who was being held by Old Wu, was completely confused at the moment.

"Holy crap... what's going on here?"

That's not how I planned it!
If he had a choice, he would rather sacrifice ten or a hundred ordinary stellar-level ninth-tier slaves than send Qi Yuan to his death!
However, now that things have come to this, there is no way he can go back and try to persuade Qi Yuan.

"Damn it, even if I manage to escape this time, I'll have suffered a huge loss..."

Hu Ge, his face full of resentment, let Old Wu drag him away at high speed, while inwardly he sighed silently:

"Don't worry, if I manage to escape safely, I will definitely train your people as my most trusted subordinates."

In the rear passage.

The moment the endless field of lightning expanded, the three-eyed man and his companions, who had been relentlessly pursuing them, felt a sudden sense of alarm and abruptly stopped in mid-air!

"Ah, this...this is a domain?"

"Whose territory is this? Are there hidden experts on the other side?"

The three-eyed man at the head of the group opened and closed his vertical eye between his eyebrows, instantly locking onto the figure surrounded by endless purple lightning.

"Huh? It's him, a seventh-tier Stellar-level being?"

"Three-Eyed, what do you mean?"

A burly figure with four arms, each wielding a different weapon such as a shield, a sword, or a heavy hammer, approached, his eyes revealing an eager look.

The three-eyed man's gaze lingered briefly on Qi Yuan's figure, but he was quickly weighing the options in his mind.

If the person opposite him were a ninth-level stellar-level being, he would definitely turn around and leave without saying a word.

However, the opponent only has the cultivation level of the seventh rank of the Stellar level. Even if they have a domain, it is impossible for a seventh rank Stellar level cultivator to deal with so many ninth rank Stellar level cultivators at the same time!

In an instant, he made up his mind!

"Everyone, go all out and finish this quickly!"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed, and streaks of dark green light shot out from the shuttle beneath his feet, instantly accelerating and hurtling toward Qi Yuan's figure surrounded by endless lightning.

The instant he made his move, his companions behind him sprang into action simultaneously—

"Haha, go, go, go! Watch how I smash him flat!"

The four-armed, burly man took the lead and charged directly into the endless lightning field, the warhammer he held in one of his arms shining with a dazzling golden light.

On his side, however, a giant golden python, as thick as a water vat, surged forward, overtaking him.

On the back of the giant python, the lower half of the withered young man with silver scales seemed to have merged with the golden python, and in his hand he held a black longbow drawn like a full moon.

The next instant, a jet-black arrow, wreathed in a faint, eerie light, shot out from the longbow in his hand!

"Chi chi chi~~~"

"Huhu~~"

The attacks of flowing light, heavy hammers, giant pythons, arrows, and the three-eyed man's other companions were overwhelming, completely sealing off every corner around Qi Yuan!

Even a veteran ninth-level stellar mentalist like Old Wu would probably die on the spot under such an overwhelming attack!
However, at this moment, Qi Yuan, who was firmly locked onto by the barrage of attacks, suddenly smiled silently.
Since his transmigration, he has been living the life of a slave.

Not only are their actions restricted in every way, but they also have to live in constant anxiety about their uncontrollable fate.

Even though they possess such an overpowered "cheat code" as the "return system," they still have to think twice before using it, for fear of attracting attention!
All these concerns and troubles will completely disappear once we get through this hurdle today!

Qi Yuan's aura surged, and the sea of ​​lightning that enveloped the surrounding hundreds of meters seemed to boil over.

"Let's sever the last ray of darkness before dawn with a fierce battle!"

At this moment, Qi Yuan's aura seemed to have reached a certain peak!
"Suck--"

Like a whale sucking in water, the nearly boiling ocean of lightning suddenly contracted—and in the next moment, a dazzling blade of light, condensed to its extreme, burst forth!
"Chi~"

As the blade flashed, the golden giant snake charging at the forefront, along with the silver-scaled youth on its back, was sliced ​​in two like a fragile piece of tofu!

Before the two pieces of corpse even hit the ground, Qi Yuan's figure changed direction, transforming into a bolt of lightning as he continued to rush towards the four-armed giant.

"Sizzle~~~"

Endless lightning power converged on the battle blade in Qi Yuan's hand, and the entire battle blade seemed to transform into a thunder god's blade!
"die!"

Qi Yuan moved like a ghost, quickly closing in on the four-armed giant. Then, a dazzling river of lightning instantly ripped through the void—

"Ah, my arm. Uh!"

The four-armed strongman's screams had just begun when they were completely silenced by another burst of blade light.

Almost instantly, two core members of the 'Blood Blade' organization, who had been roaming the universe for many years and had committed countless major crimes, perished here without even leaving a last word.

The one who wields the knife will one day become a victim of it; such is the ruthless yet fair law of the universe.
At this moment, Qi Yuan did not stop moving and rushed towards the nearest three-eyed man as fast as lightning.

Qi Yuan's speed is just too fast!
It wasn't until the blinding flash of lightning illuminated his eyes that the three-eyed man finally snapped out of the shock of losing his two companions!

"How...how is this possible? Why are you so strong!"

"No! Block them! Block them for me!"

At this moment, he could no longer maintain the cold demeanor on his face. He immediately controlled his flying telekinetic weapon to retreat, while continuously releasing streaks of dark green light to desperately intercept Qi Yuan!
"The mentalists should all gang up on him!"

He was giving decisive orders while retreating.

However, the next second, his pupils began to dilate uncontrollably—

Qi Yuan, standing before him, seemed to have merged into the entire lightning domain, his figure becoming elusive and unpredictable.

His telekinetic weapons, which he fired at the opponent one after another, couldn't even catch a glimpse of the opponent's figure.

"Chi~"

A blinding burst of lightning suddenly erupted, and the three-eyed man's memory was forever frozen in time!

Even with the addition of a domain, a seventh-tier stellar-level being might indeed be unable to withstand a combined attack from more than ten ninth-tier stellar-level beings.

However, if it were a fifth-level Domain cultivator who had mastered the "Lightning Strike" secret technique and reached the seventh level of the Stellar Realm, the outcome would be uncertain.
A year of intense research and continuous investment of opportunities were all for this moment of ultimate brilliance!
"Whoosh~"

Without stopping, Qi Yuan immediately pounced on another figure in black armor.

"Sizzle~~~"

A long river of lightning stretched across the sky, and a black-armored figure fell instantly... Lightning bolts continued to flash, and no one could stop them. Each flash of lightning represented the fall of a black-armored enemy.

"Surround and attack".

"Surround and attack".

"Run! Run away quickly!"

The remaining ninth-tier stellar-level members on the three-eyed man's side were already on the verge of collapse after seeing several captain-level figures fall one after another.

Upon seeing Qi Yuan charging towards them, they turned and fled almost without hesitation!
As for a siege?

Stop talking nonsense, even the captain is dead, what's the point of attacking him?
However, even if they wanted to escape, they found that they were no match for Qi Yuan's speed.

"If we were outside, I really wouldn't be able to deal with you few mentalists, but who told you to crawl into this 'dog hole' yourselves? You asked for it."

Surrounded by endless lightning, Qi Yuan's speed soared to its limit, even surpassing the speed of those ninth-level stellar-level mental cultivators!
The most troublesome thing about mentalists is their extremely unpredictable and agile flight, which allows them to keep their distance and constantly "kite" their opponents.

Martial artists, on the other hand, far surpass mental cultivators in close-range burst damage.

At this moment, they were all in a crystal passage with a diameter of only a few hundred meters, which was almost no different from close combat, so the result was predictable.
“Tsk~~~”

Bolts of lightning flashed continuously, and figures in black armor fell one after another.
Soon after, the lightning subsided, and the entire crystal passage returned to calm.

"Whoosh~"

Qi Yuan quickly returned, swiftly collecting the storage items of all the enemies he had killed, even placing their corpses into his storage ring.

Then he removed the arm guard that Hu Ge had given him from his arm and crushed it into a lump of scrap metal with a slight squeeze of his fingers.

The communication system then completely extinguished and blocked the last remaining weak connection between the biochip in the sea of ​​consciousness and the control terminal!
After doing all this, he didn't linger at all. His Force suit quickly flowed and covered his entire body, even his face. Then he transformed into a streak of light and rushed towards the exit of the Eclipse World!
