Chapter 214: The Reigniting of Faith

Just at this critical moment, a dazzling ray of light pierced the sky, as if tearing through the darkness of the universe. The attack from the Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family came to an abrupt halt. He looked up in shock and suspicion, gazing toward the source of the light.

A massive ring of light appeared in the sky. In the center of the ring, a figure clad in silver armor and holding a golden longsword descended slowly. He radiated a sacred brilliance, and his powerful pressure made every creature present feel a palpitation of the heart.

"Who is it?!" the Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family shouted in terror, his hand gripping his weapon trembling slightly.

"I am the Star Guardian," the newcomer's majestic voice resounded through heaven and earth, "protecting the peace of the universe and slaying those who are evil!"

The Star Guardian's gaze was like a torch, sweeping over everyone present before finally resting on the teetering Zhang Cheng. A trace of admiration flashed in his eyes. He raised his hand and waved it, a powerful force shaking the people of the Blood Night Demon Family back several steps.

"You wicked demons, stop being so rampant!" The Dragon Star Sage took the opportunity to fly to Zhang Cheng's side, supporting his swaying body, and asked with concern, "How are you?"

Zhang Cheng shook his head weakly. He felt as if his body had been hollowed out; he didn't even have the strength to speak.

"Don't worry, I am here." The Star Guardian's voice seemed to carry a magical power, igniting a glimmer of hope in Zhang Cheng's previously despairing heart.

The Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family roared unwillingly: "What are you, daring to ruin the good deeds of our Blood Night Demon Family?"

"You demons who poison all living things, today is your death day!" The Star Guardian let out a cold snort, his golden longsword pointing at the Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family. "Accept your death!"

Before the words had even faded, the Star Guardian transformed into a streak of golden light, charging toward the Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family with lightning speed. The Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family was terrified and hurriedly raised his weapon to block.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family was struck by the Star Guardian's sword and sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground and vomiting blood.

"You think you can contend with me? Overestimating your own strength!" The Star Guardian looked down at the Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family, his eyes filled with disdain.

"Damn it..." The Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family struggled to stand up, only to find that he was already severely injured and unable to move at all.

"Big Brother!" At this moment, a roar came from the distance, and a large group of reinforcements from the Blood Night Demon Family arrived aggressively.

"Hahaha, kid, you're dead! Our Blood Night Demon Family's reinforcements have arrived, wait for your death!" Seeing the reinforcements, the Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family suddenly regained his confidence and laughed arrogantly.

However, facing the aggressive enemies, the Star Guardian remained calm. He pointed the golden longsword in his hand toward the sky, and an even more powerful force erupted from within him.

Just then, a light, ethereal voice came from afar: "Stop!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young girl with a graceful figure, her body emitting a faint fluorescent glow, walking over slowly...

Zhang Cheng's gaze followed the Star Guardian closely; that dazzling golden light seemed to dispel all the gloom in his heart. The despair and powerlessness gradually faded, replaced by an indescribable fire of hope burning fiercely in his chest. He used all his strength, his arm trembling, attempting to crawl up from the ground.

"Lord Star Guardian..." The Dragon Star Sage's voice was weak and hurried. He knew well the power of the Blood Night Demon Family and feared that the Star Guardian alone would find it difficult to resist. "Please, save Lan Xing, save..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the Star Guardian seemed to sense something. He turned his head abruptly, his gaze like a torch looking into the distance.

At the same time, the group of aggressive Blood Night Demon Family reinforcements also stopped in their tracks. They looked at the Star Guardian standing in mid-air, like a god, their eyes revealing deep wariness.

"Big Brother, what should we do?" a burly demon asked in a low voice, his tone tinged with unease.

The leading Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family had a gloomy face. He gritted his teeth and said: "What are you afraid of! Are we afraid of him just because there are so many of us? Attack, kill him!"

As soon as the words fell, dozens of black shadows shot toward the Star Guardian like arrows released from a bowstring. The Star Guardian let out a cold snort, the golden longsword in his hand turning into streaks of afterimages, blocking all the incoming attacks.

However, just at this moment, an unexpected change occurred!

The Mysterious Elf, who had been watching the battle from the side, suddenly had a flash of deep fear in her previously lively and spirited eyes upon seeing the Star Guardian. She exclaimed and turned to flee.

"Want to leave?" The Star Guardian seemed to have anticipated her move long ago. His figure flashed, and he instantly appeared in front of the Mysterious Elf, blocking her path.

"You..." The Mysterious Elf's face turned pale, her body trembling slightly, as if she had seen something terrifying.

The Star Guardian looked down at her, a complex look flashing in his eyes, and he spoke slowly: "You cannot escape..."

The Mysterious Elf looked at the Star Guardian in terror. Those eyes, once as clear as a spring, were now filled with fear, her body trembling slightly as if she had seen an existence of extreme terror. She wanted to speak, but her lips only moved weakly, unable to make any sound.

"Who... who are you?" Finally, she found her voice, but her tone was still filled with trembling and unease.

The Star Guardian did not answer her question, only looking at her quietly, his gaze deep and mysterious, as if he could see through everything.

"Big Brother, stop wasting time with her! Grab her first!" a reinforcement from the Blood Night Demon Family couldn't help but shout.

A greedy light flashed in the eyes of the leading Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family. He licked his lips and sneered: "That's right, take her back and offer her to the Lord; we will all receive huge benefits!"

Hearing this, the Mysterious Elf's face turned even paler. She closed her eyes in despair, waiting for fate to descend.

"Stop!" The Star Guardian finally spoke, his voice low and majestic, as if descending from the nine heavens.

The Envoys of the Blood Night Demon Family were stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, who do you think you are? Daring to order us around?"

"Exactly, a guy who popped out of nowhere, daring to put on airs in front of us!"

The Star Guardian ignored their mockery, only looking at them coldly, a cold light flashing in his eyes.

"Are you sure you want to be my enemy?"

"Hahaha, so what if we are your enemy? We are the Blood Night Demon Family's..."

Before the Envoy of the Blood Night Demon Family could finish his sentence, he felt a blur before his eyes. The Star Guardian had already appeared in front of him like a ghost.

"You..."

Before he could react, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily to the ground, life or death unknown.

"Big Brother!"

The other reinforcements of the Blood Night Demon Family were terrified at the sight. They never expected that this seemingly ordinary Star Guardian would possess such terrifying strength.

"Now, I will say it again: if you don't want to die, get out!" the Star Guardian said coldly, his tone filled with killing intent.

Those reinforcements of the Blood Night Demon Family looked at each other, fear appearing in their eyes. Although they were cruel by nature, they were not fools; naturally, they could see that the Star Guardian was not someone they could handle.

"Retreat!"

In the end, under the threat of death, they chose to submit, turning and fleeing into the distance.

The Star Guardian did not pursue, only looking coldly at the direction they left, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Are you alright?" The Star Guardian turned around and looked at the Mysterious Elf.

The Mysterious Elf shook her head, but her face remained pale. She looked at the Star Guardian, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

"Who... who exactly are you?" she asked again. This question had been lingering in her heart, making her feel incomparably confused and uneasy.

The Star Guardian looked at her, silent for a moment, and spoke slowly: "I am..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly changed, and he looked up abruptly toward the distance.

"What's wrong?" The Mysterious Elf sensed his abnormality and also looked up, following his gaze.

In the distant sky, a massive black vortex suddenly appeared, and a terrifying aura radiated from the vortex, as if it were about to swallow the entire world.

"Not good!" The Star Guardian's expression became unprecedentedly solemn. He said in a deep voice, "It is..."

"It is... the Omen of the End!" The Star Guardian's expression was solemn as he spoke these words, one by one.

In the distance, the black vortex grew larger and larger, as if it were about to swallow the entire starry sky, its terrifying aura making one's heart palpitate. The Mysterious Elf's face was pale; she vaguely remembered that in ancient prophecies, the appearance of the Omen of the End meant the arrival of destruction.

"Could it be... the prophecy is true?" the Mysterious Elf muttered to herself, her eyes filled with fear.

The Star Guardian ignored her and turned his gaze to Zhang Cheng, saying in a deep voice: "Young man, I know your heart is filled with sorrow and despair, but now is not the time to give up. You shoulder a more important mission!"

Zhang Cheng was stunned for a moment, looking up at the Star Guardian, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes. He didn't know what the Star Guardian was referring to, nor did he know what else he could do.

"You possess a powerful force within you; that is the light of hope to resist the darkness!" The Star Guardian seemed to see through his thoughts and said in a deep voice, "Do not let fear swallow your heart. Pull yourself together and fight!"

The Star Guardian's words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting the fog in Zhang Cheng's heart. That's right, he couldn't just give up like this. Kelinda was still waiting for him, and he had more important things to do!

Zhang Cheng took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and a raging flame reignited in his eyes. He looked at the terrifying black vortex in the distance, his heart filled with fighting spirit.

"I want to fight!" Zhang Cheng's voice was firm and powerful.

The Star Guardian nodded in appreciation; he knew that Zhang Cheng was ready.

"Very good, I will help you!" As the Star Guardian said this, he raised his right hand, and a powerful energy fluctuation radiated from his palm.

Feeling this powerful force, the remaining forces of the Blood Night Demon Family, who had been in a panic, stopped their flight. They looked at each other, their eyes filled with greed and longing.

"Could it be... he wants to pass his power to this human?"

"If we could obtain this power..."

Greedy desires sprouted in their hearts. They slowed their pace in unison, watching the Star Guardian and Zhang Cheng greedily, waiting for an opportunity to act.

The Star Guardian seemed not to see their actions. He gently placed his palm on Zhang Cheng's chest, and a warm, powerful energy slowly flowed into Zhang Cheng's body.

Zhang Cheng felt a powerful force surging within him, and his previously exhausted strength was recovering rapidly. At the same time, the mysterious power that had always been protecting him began to stabilize again, echoing with the energy injected by the Star Guardian, as if undergoing some kind of fusion.

Just then, an unexpected change occurred! The Star Guardian's expression suddenly changed, and he pushed Zhang Cheng away abruptly, turning around at the same time, his gaze looking into the distance like lightning...
