Chapter 180

Zhou Xuan held her hand tightly, giving her firm strength.

"Believe in me, we will definitely win. As long as we don't give up, nothing is impossible." His words were brief but full of power and faith.

.... Begging for flowers.. 0

Just then, Zhou Xuan's gaze suddenly fell on a subtle spot of the device.

There was a crack that was not easily noticeable, appearing and disappearing under the cover of the light.

A sense of inexplicable excitement and hope surged in his heart.

"Look there! That is the weakness of the device!"

Xingluo heard this and immediately looked in the direction of Zhou Xuan's gaze; sure enough, she saw the crack.

A flash of joy appeared in her eyes, "We have a chance!"

The two quickly adjusted their strategy and concentrated all their power to launch a fierce attack on the crack.

Under the blessing of the ancient powerhouse's power, their attack finally broke through the device's defense system and struck the core directly.

With a deafening roar, the device began to shake violently, and the light gradually dimmed.

However, just when they thought victory was in sight, a cold voice suddenly sounded: "Want to destroy my device? You are still too green!"

The two followed the sound and saw that the mysterious organization leader had appeared before them at some point.

He looked at the two with a sneer, his eyes full of mockery and disdain. "Did you think you could stop me like this? Hmph, too naive."

185. 【Whether Overestimated or Not, It Remains to be Seen】

Zhou Xuan and Xingluo felt a chill in their hearts; they knew the real battle had just begun.

They looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of tacit understanding and firmness.

"Come on, let's see who is the final winner!"

A thrilling battle broke out deep in the Astral Express.

Zhou Xuan and Xingluo, relying on firm belief and unremitting efforts, engaged in a fierce contest with the mysterious organization leader.

In this battle concerning the fate of the universe "373", how would they write their own legend?

The night sky was like ink, the stars were hidden, and only a cold moonlight pierced through the cloud layers, spilling onto the ruins baptized by the flames of war.

Zhou Xuan and Xingluo stood side by side, their gazes piercing through the flying dust, reaching the mysterious organization leader who was slowly stepping into view.

He wore a black cloak, his face hidden in the shadows, and only those eyes flickered with strange light, as if they could see through the deepest fear in people's hearts.

"Heh, another reunion, you two."

The leader's voice was low and magnetic, yet carried a threat that could not be ignored, "Did you think you could sit back and relax after escaping? It seems I still overestimated your wisdom."

Zhou Xuan clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, but he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and instead responded in a calm tone:

"Whether overestimated or not, it remains to be seen. At least, we will not be like you, addicted to destruction and slaughter."

Xingluo turned to the side, scanning the surroundings with her keen eyes to ensure no other threats were lurking.

Her movements were light and swift, like a cheetah ready to hunt, ready to deal with any sudden situation at any time.

"You talk too much; if you only came to provoke us, we don't have time to play this boring game with you."

The mysterious organization leader's mouth curled into a cold sneer, as if he did not care about their provocation at all.

"Oh? Since that's the case, let's have something substantial. Haven't you always wanted to stop my plan? Now, let you see how this power is unrivaled."

As he spoke, he waved his hand gently, and a huge energy fluctuation surged from his body; the surrounding air seemed to tremble because of it.

That was the pressure that only those who had mastered extreme power could possess, making even Zhou Xuan and Xingluo, who had been through many battles, feel wary.

However, at this critical moment, the two not only did not retreat but instead firmed their eyes toward each other even more.

Zhou Xuan took a deep breath, attempting to calm the fluctuations in his heart, while signaling Xingluo with his eyes....

"We cannot be led by the nose by him; we must find his flaw."

Xingluo nodded; her gaze was like a sharp blade, not letting go of any detail.

"Leave it to me, you focus on studying that device. I believe that as long as we join forces, there is nothing we cannot overcome."

Under Xingluo's cover, Zhou Xuan quickly moved to the side of the huge device.

This was a complex machine made of unknown metal, inlaid with countless gems flickering with strange light, seemingly absorbing energy from the surroundings continuously.

Zhou Xuan furrowed his brows; he knew well that this was not just a simple device, but the source of the mysterious organization leader's power.

"To shut it down, one must find the key to controlling its core."

Zhou Xuan muttered to himself; he began to carefully dismantle the outer shell of the device, fearing to trigger any mechanism that might lead to an explosion.

At the same time, Xingluo engaged in a fierce clash with the mysterious organization leader.

Her movements were agile, and every attack was precise and accurate, but the opponent seemed to always be able to predict her movements in advance and respond calmly.

186. 【It's Already Too Late!】

However, Xingluo was not discouraged by this; she used her rich combat experience to constantly change tactics, attempting to find the opponent's flaw.

"Your moves are indeed exquisite, but wanting to defeat me is still far from enough."

The mysterious organization leader sneered, and his offensive became increasingly fierce.

Xingluo retreated violently, avoiding a lethal attack.

"Don't be proud too early, the good show is still to come."

She deliberately showed a flaw, luring the opponent to go deep.

Sure enough, the mysterious organization leader took the bait; he lunged at Xingluo, but only saw a residual image flash by, and Xingluo had already appeared on the other side of the device.

She cast a firm look at Zhou Xuan, signaling that he could act now.

Seeing this, Zhou Xuan was overjoyed; he accelerated the speed of dismantling and finally found the small button that controlled the core of the device.

He pressed it without hesitation; the gems on the device began to flicker with uneasy light, and a strong energy fluctuation surged from inside the device, but it was soon suppressed by an inexplicable force.

"Success!"

Zhou Xuan shouted excitedly.

At the same time, the mysterious organization leader also felt the change in this power; he roared angrily, wanting to break free from the restraint, but it was already too late.

As the operation of the device gradually stopped, the heart-palpitating energy fluctuation also dissipated.

The surrounding air became peaceful and clear again, as if even time had frozen at this moment.

Xingluo panted and walked to Zhou Xuan's side; the two looked at each other and smiled, that tacit understanding needing no words.

"We did it," Xingluo said softly.

However, Zhou Xuan's expression did not relax.

"This is only a temporary victory; we must find a way to permanently shut down the device. Otherwise, once he recovers, we will face even more severe tests."

Xingluo nodded, her eyes flickering with firm light.

"No matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as we are together, nothing is impossible."

Zhou Xuan pondered for a moment and then put forward a bold plan.

"We can try to track the source of that energy; perhaps we can find the key to shutting down the device there."

Xingluo's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"Good idea! Then let's go uncover this secret together!"

Thus, the two fought side by side again and embarked on the journey to find a way to permanently shut down the device.

And this time, their hearts were full of confidence and hope, because they knew that as long as they believed in each other and worked together, nothing could stop their footsteps forward.

"Ancient senior, are your injuries really alright?"

Zhou Xuan asked with concern; his eyes revealed respect and gratitude for this legendary figure.

The ancient powerhouse smiled slightly; that smile seemed to contain the vicissitudes of time and wisdom.

"Thanks to Xingluo's assistance, I have restored my power to its peak period.

Zhou Xuan, I fully support your plan." His voice was steady and powerful, revealing a determination that could not be questioned.

Xingluo stood to the side, holding her weapon tightly, her eyes flickering with firm and protective light.

"We will succeed, for the sake of this world, and for everything we love."

Her words were brief and powerful, inspiring everyone present.

The three quickly threw themselves into tense preparation work.

The ancient powerhouse closed his eyes and focused, beginning to mobilize the power that had been sleeping in his body for a long time; those ancient and powerful forces slowly gathered under his guidance, forming a huge energy flow, circling around the base.

Zhou Xuan was busy in front of his technological equipment, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard; the screen flickered with complex codes and patterns, which was the energy field structure diagram he had carefully designed. ===== CHAPTER 181 =====
