Chapter 160

A slender and graceful figure quickly climbed onto the city wall, her beautiful face filled with anger and hatred. She was panting, and strands of hair were stuck to her sweat-covered, fair forehead; she had clearly run here in a frenzy.

"Student Zhuge Ni?!"

Ye Lin was somewhat shocked. Why didn't this woman follow the main force and escape via the teleportation array? Why did she run here?

But soon, Student Zhuge Ni gave Ye Lin the answer.

Student Zhuge Ni took an ancient compass from her waist. On that compass, stars twinkled as if the entire galaxy had been contained within it.

She bit her red lips, a flash of determination in her eyes, and held the compass high above her head.

"Inheriting my father's last wish, Student Zhuge Ni will live and die with Qingcheng today!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the stars on the ancient compass began to rotate rapidly, emitting a profound starlight radiance that remained dazzling even in the daylight!

"Power of the Heavenly Stars, heed my command!"

Student Zhuge Ni gave a sharp cry, and the starlight within the compass condensed into a slender pillar of light that shot straight into the clouds!

Several buildings within Qingcheng collapsed with a roar at this moment, forming a profound star array, and the entire city of Qingcheng seemed to come alive at this instant!

Above the sky, star after star seemed to respond to some mysterious summons, blooming with visible light even in the daytime. Beams of brilliant light descended, and Qingcheng seemed to turn into a massive energy vortex at this moment, greedily absorbing the star power from the nine heavens!

"Heavenly Stars Eternal Suppression!"

Student Zhuge Ni cried out, and the star array, centered on Qingcheng, instantly expanded outward!

At this moment, it was as if a god had pressed the pause button; everything was suppressed. Whether it was the dense swarm of monsters or the twelve masked men with peerless strength, they all turned into statues at this moment!

"Damn it, I can't move at all!" one of the masked men cursed angrily.

"No wonder when that Student Zhuge Qianxing was around, no one dared to come to Qingcheng to cause trouble! How is this guy still so terrifying even after he's dead?"

"How did such a terrifying guy die? If I hadn't seen his corpse with my own eyes, I would have suspected he was faking his death!"

"Stop talking so much, that Guo Qin is about to run out of sight!"

The twelve masked men were both shocked and furious. They could only watch helplessly as Guo Qin ran further and further away. The star power Student Zhuge Ni unleashed using that ancient compass was only targeted at them and the monsters, not at anyone else, so Guo Qin was completely unaffected.

"Now is the time, kill with me!"

Hu Weng roared and charged straight toward the immobilized monster swarm. As the City Lord of Qingcheng, even though he was already covered in blood from battle, Hu Weng remained calm and did not let this once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity slip by.

Under his leadership, others soon reacted and rushed toward the immobilized monsters.

"Pfft!"

On the city wall, Student Zhuge Ni spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the ancient compass red.

It was clear that unleashing power of this magnitude was also terrifyingly draining for her.

But Student Zhuge Ni gritted her teeth, showing no intention of backing down. She raised her hand again and tapped on the ancient compass.

In an instant, countless bloodstains appeared on Student Zhuge Ni's fair skin, making her look like a piece of porcelain about to shatter. It was clear that the next strike would be released at the cost of Student Zhuge Ni's life force!

"Don't do it, girl!"

"You are Mr. Student Zhuge's only daughter!"

"Why? Why do good people not live long?"

The people of Qingcheng were all furious, but their anger could not change anything.

Brilliant starlight radiance lit up bit by bit above Qingcheng, converging into a terrifying torrent of stars.

For a moment, in front of Qingcheng, all the monsters revealed expressions of terror in their eyes, and even the faces of the twelve mysterious figures under their masks were completely twisted.

From the beautiful starlight, they felt a rich aura of death. If this strike were to land, the twelve of them would definitely be left without a corpse, and none would survive!

"Help me break free from the suppression, otherwise, we will all die!" the rat-faced masked man roared.

The other eleven did not hesitate, risking injury to forcibly suppress the star power within their bodies for the rat-faced masked man, fighting for a chance for him to strike!

The relieved rat-faced masked man turned and locked onto Student Zhuge Ni on the city wall.

"Go to hell, you bitch!"

Terrifying energy converged into a fiery red spear, tearing through the sky and thrusting violently toward Student Zhuge Ni. If Student Zhuge Ni insisted on unleashing the next move, this spear would inevitably pierce through her body.

But Student Zhuge Ni had no intention of dodging, continuing to condense the star power. The ancient compass shone brightly, constantly absorbing her life force.

"Dad, Ni Ni is coming to see you."

Student Zhuge Ni revealed a smile of relief.

"Star Light Extin—"

Before the word "extinguish" could be uttered, Student Zhuge Ni felt a heavy blow to her neck, and then she felt herself falling into a warm embrace.

Before her consciousness faded, Student Zhuge Ni smelled a very familiar scent.

"Dad... is it you coming to pick me up..."

Looking at the completely unconscious Student Zhuge Ni, Ye Lin couldn't help but sigh. Even if he didn't like Student Zhuge Ni, he couldn't just watch her go to her death.

After all, she was Student Zhuge Qianxing's only attachment in this world. If Student Zhuge Qianxing saw Student Zhuge Ni in the underworld, he would probably climb out of his grave just to slap himself twice.

After placing Student Zhuge Ni aside, Ye Lin pulled the Eight Desolations Holy Silver Bow and directly activated the Forbidden Spell "Burning Reincarnation" to double his power.

"Damage-Boosting Arrow!"

【Class Talent "Ultimate Sublimation" activated, Damage-Boosting Arrow has been upgraded to Heavenly Punishment God-Slaying Arrow.】

【Forbidden Spell?? Heavenly Punishment God-Slaying Arrow: The Forbidden Spellcaster will have no descendants and lose the ability to procreate; it represents the Great Dao descending with heavenly punishment, firing an arrow that can stack ten times the user's own power. Under one arrow, gods are slain and immortals are extinguished.】

"Whoosh!"

Ye Lin did not hesitate, pulling the bow like a full moon and firing the Heavenly Punishment God-Slaying Arrow.

A dazzling arrow tore through the sky; wherever the fletching passed, ripples appeared in space, as if it would be torn apart the next moment.

However, after this arrow collided with the fiery red spear, it only dimmed the luster of the spear slightly, failing to destroy it.

But Ye Lin had anticipated this; after all, the gap in strength was there. He didn't hesitate in the slightest, raising his hand to fire four more Heavenly Punishment God-Slaying Arrows, focusing on the principle that having more arrows makes one willful.

The rat-faced masked man was attacking from a distance. Under the bombardment of five consecutive Heavenly Punishment God-Slaying Arrows, the fiery red spear he had condensed was directly shot into dissipation.

With Student Zhuge Ni's unconsciousness, the torrent of stars gathered above Qingcheng began to gradually dissipate, and the twelve masked men regained their mobility at this moment.

"There's another expert?" X12

"To actually be able to block my angry strike, this person might also be related to Student Zhuge Qianxing. You go chase that Guo Qin, I'm going to kill that guy!" The rat-faced masked man snorted coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.

"Let me go!"

But on the other side, someone was faster than him. Chen Long instantly rushed out, accompanied by the sound of a dragon's roar, killing all the monsters along the way.

"Chen Long! Are you here to kill people or to kill monsters?" The rat-faced masked man snorted in dissatisfaction.

"Let me tell you a joke: Little swallow, wearing a flower coat, comes here every spring. I ask the swallow why it comes, guess what the swallow says?" Chen Long asked.

"What did the swallow say?" the rat-faced masked man frowned.

"The swallow said, 'None of your business! Mind your own business!'"
