Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 27 A Plan Suddenly Emerges

Of the Thirty-Six Stratagems, running away is the best; the fastest way to avoid defeat is to run fast!

When the enemy retreats, we advance; when the enemy advances, we retreat. The balance of power in offense and defense rests entirely with us, not the enemy. Why worry about not being victorious in every battle?
If it were a human body from before the Heavenly Martial Soul, there would be absolutely no hope.

The increased running speed brought by the evolution of the Heavenly Martial Soul allowed Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue to run at full speed, and they were not caught up for a while.

Miki's crimson wolf was hot on his heels.

Lin Xiufeng saw a thick tree and deliberately made a sharp turn, causing the wolf to crash into it.

The wolf lowered its head and charged straight ahead without the slightest hesitation.

The bull's horn struck the tree trunk, and the enormous impact snapped the thick tree in two!
The tree trunk flew straight ahead, knocking down and bending three trees in succession before finally stopping.

The wolf's running momentum was almost unaffected.

"How about we become the Armadillo King?"

Zhao Youyue watched as the distance closed in little by little, and since she couldn't use any obstacles to stop it, she feared she would be caught up soon.

"This ferocious creature probably won't even spare the armadillo king, nor will it give us time to dig underground and escape. Unless..."

Lin Xiufeng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and came up with an idea.

Although it's somewhat risky, the survival rate is much higher than being caught by wolves and having to fight them!
"Is there a solution?"

Zhao Youyue was both surprised and delighted, wondering why Lin Xiufeng had so many ideas.

"Run that way!"

"there?"

Although Zhao Youyue was surprised, she did not hesitate to adjust her direction.

They ran to the edge of the slope and put their hands together.

A bright blue light shone forth, and the two were instantly enveloped in it, donning the Armadillo King's blue light body.

The armadillo king ran swiftly on all fours, turning its head as it went.

The wolf's eyes showed doubt, but it did not slow down.

Sure enough, this ferocious creature was pursued even by the armadillo king!
The armadillo king burst out of the hillside, curled up in mid-air, and rolled down the slope.

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue had long since mastered these techniques.

It rolled and surged forward, then rolled again.

Until they reached the top of another hillside.

The armadillo king stretched out its body and climbed up quickly on all fours.

Zhao Youyue turned her head and glanced down. The trees below were swaying, clearly indicating that wolves were chasing after them.

"Climbing a few more mountains will give me enough time to use Earth Escape!"

Zhao Youyue felt much relieved; it was really fast to roll down the mountain!

"No, go up that mountain and roll down the left side."

"Isn't that the area where Sister Yin and her group were discovered in the water?"

"Let's lure the enemy in and wipe them out! Let's deal with Sister Yin and her group."

Lin Xiufeng didn't want to be chased by Sister Yin and forced to run for his life.

"Hopefully, the wolf will let us vent our anger!"

Zhao Youyue agreed without hesitation, her teeth itching with anger at the thought of Sister Yin's deception!
What a waste of her trust!
After this blow, she no longer dared to trust strangers!

Can the instigator be let off the hook?

No way! We can only keep pushing them to the brink of death until they're completely dead!
The two piloted the Azure Armadillo King up another mountain. Perhaps the wolf had lost its confidence in chasing them, so they deliberately slowed down while climbing, thus shortening the distance.

When the wolves got closer, the armadillo king curled up into a ball and rolled down the slope.

It hurtled all the way down into the water, splashing up a spray.

Then, it stopped floating.

The sound of rolling down, the sound of falling into the water.

As expected, this alerted Sister Yin and her group who were searching for traces downstream, causing them to rush over at full speed.

Then, above the water, you can see a ferocious wolf with three red eyes, searching for the Armadillo King!

"Ahound!"

"run!"

The six men, with absolutely no confidence in fighting, turned tail and ran!

Having just lost its target, the wolf suddenly saw six people. Seeing that they were weaker than the armadillo king, it didn't hesitate to fly down and chase after them at full speed!
In the flowing water, the armadillo king emerged from the bottom of the water, floated to the surface, and walked to the edge of the slope.

From its high vantage point, the armadillo king observed the trees swaying during the chase and thus determined the location.

"They deserve it!"

Zhao Youyue felt extremely satisfied. "Let's follow them."

Why follow them?

"If they're being chased too hard, do you think they'll scatter and run away? If they get separated and alone, can't we take revenge?"

Lin Xiufeng considered that such an opportunity was like seeing a profit to be made, and there was no reason for him to let it go!
"Can you beat me?"

Zhao Youyue was very tempted, but she was unsure about the enemy's strength.

"It's hard to say about Sister Yin and Brother Meng, but the other four aren't even at the same level as our Heavenly Martial Soul. Two against one is a sure thing!"

“Hit!”

Zhao Youyue made up her mind.

Now that we've come to the otherworld of the Heavenly Martial Realm, we can't be timid and afraid of fighting!
She is no longer the girl who simply wanted to enjoy life in the peaceful environment of the planet Tianlan.

She wants to become stronger, she wants to be resilient!
The two followed the sound of the trees.

The speed of Sister Yin and her group varied as they traveled.

The slowest man, despite his best efforts, still couldn't catch up with his companion, while the wolf behind him was slowly closing in...

He fully realized that when encountering danger, it's not necessary to be the fastest runner, but rather to have companions who can run slower.

Turning my head again, I saw the wolf lower its head, its four horns almost within reach!
The man steeled his resolve, leaped up, and in mid-air, twirled and grabbed the wolf's horn, followed by his other hand.

The wolf suddenly shook its head, and despite the man's best efforts, he was still thrown away by the sudden reverse swing!

He thought it was all over, but to his surprise, the wolf didn't turn back to look for him; instead, it continued charging forward at full speed.

The man immediately understood that the wolf wanted to eat Silver Sister, who had the strongest Heavenly Martial Power!

Only after eating Sister Yin will she pursue other men!

'I should have split up!'

The man was thrown nearly 20 meters into the air before crashing down, creating a crater with a diameter of one and a half meters on the ground!
In the otherworld of the Heavenly Martial Realm, the higher one is off the ground, the stronger the inexplicable attraction of Heavenly Martial Force becomes.

Only those celestial warriors skilled in movement on the ice peaks are capable of falling from a height of thirty meters unharmed.

A fifth-level Heavenly Martial Soul cultivator falling from such a height, the shockwave, though it didn't kill him, certainly took most of his life!
The man was so shocked that he was completely disoriented, and it took him a long time to regain his senses.

Slowly, she propped herself up and sat up, only to see Lin Xiufeng smiling and Zhao Youyue looking furious at her from the edge of the pit...

"Handsome guy, beautiful lady, everything that happened before was Sister Yin's idea..."

Why would Lin Xiufeng waste his breath on him?

He jumped into the pit, grabbed the man by the hair, and shoved him to the bottom.

"beat!"

Zhao Youyue landed and stepped directly on the man's back.

Punches and kicks rained down on him.

In no time, the man was unconscious, and his Heavenly Martial Power was rapidly depleted.

Each attack was accompanied by a direct impact of the Heavenly Martial Power, generating a burst of Heavenly Martial Power energy.

This was the first time Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue had truly experienced the Heavenly Martial Power they absorbed during a battle.

When fighting the Armadillo King earlier, the people who were arguing took action, and the amount of Heavenly Martial Power they absorbed was pitifully small.

However, at that time, the distance was far, and there was no advantage in absorbing first-hand energy during the battle.

Zhao Youyue had no way of knowing whether it was due to the difference in the level of the Heavenly Martial Soul or the distance.

All she knew was that with each strike, she absorbed far more Heavenly Martial Power than before!

Lin Xiufeng could see that the concentration of the spreading Heavenly Martial Force energy was slightly higher than that of the people arguing, but not by much.

However, the amount absorbed varies greatly!

He knew it wasn't just because of the distance.

With each punch, the Heavenly Martial Power of his fist collides with the Heavenly Martial Power at the point of impact on the target, and at the moment of the scattered Heavenly Martial Power, it first mixes into a ball and then spreads out in all directions.

During their close-quarters combat, he and Zhao Youyue absorbed a large amount of Heavenly Martial Power as they merged into one.

This is the fundamental reason why the two sides that directly engage in combat are able to absorb more Heavenly Martial Power.

In other words, even though he was very close to Zhao Youyue—

The mixed energy ball formed by Zhao Youyue's punch still benefited from the proximity of the source.

Lin Xiufei was only using secondhand drugs, far less than she was.

The reverse is also true.

'The most Heavenly Martial Power is absorbed through direct combat!'

Lin Xiufeng realized that the fastest way to accumulate Heavenly Martial Power was to seek more efficient accumulation in battle!
