Brother Tie, you’ve finally made your choice—worth the risk I took sneaking in here.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, black mist rolled over his body, lifting him upright on its own; he spat out several white nails, each as thick as a finger, all embedding into the earth before him. His wounds vanished instantly, his body restored to perfect condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Men Mei, witnessing this, cried out in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Shixiong and the other disciples also reeled back in alarm, their bodies flashing with various spiritual lights as weapons emerged around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciple wielding the spear, suspected to be a guardian force, shuddered violently, then hurled the shadow demon’s clone far behind him with a backward throw, himself leaping “whoosh!” two zhang away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph! Daring to ruin my plans? If you survive my punch, I’ll spare your life.” Tie Jian snorted, glancing at Wang Yu, tossed aside the bloody arm, and suddenly struck a punch through the air—a terrifying fist shadow, the size of a table, shot forth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice that had warned the old man earlier had come from Wang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight sent shock through Wang Yu’s group; without hesitation, they scattered in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only Wang Yu felt the surrounding void harden instantly, his body utterly locked in place; his face paled, then he drew a deep breath, his body swelling larger, swung his thick arm, and hurled the iron essence small shield he had just drawn out, now covered in a layer of white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seemingly indestructible iron essence shield, upon contact with the massive fist shadow, trembled slightly, then dissolved into a dark shadow, flung sideways—without slowing the fist shadow even a fraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu growled, his body swelling again, his upper garments tearing apart; a monstrous tiger head loomed from his back, while golden sparks flickered along both arms, golden mist swirling and coiling to form an intricate gauntlet encasing his fists and forearms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ssshh!” “Ssshh!”...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his eyes glowed with crystalline light, his arms blurred—ear-splitting shrieks rang out in succession.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, a dozen smaller pale-yellow fist shadows appeared on the massive fist shadow, each a fraction of its size; they collided instantly, triggering a rolling shockwave of thunderous force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu still did not stop—he formed a hand seal, chanting continuously; red lights flickered before him, forming one, then two, then four, then eight crimson fireballs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He waved his arm—the eight fireballs shot forward in a straight line; beneath his feet, a black iron skiff suddenly appeared, swayed once, then vanished into a black shadow, disappearing into thin air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, “Boom!” “Boom!”...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight torrents of roaring flame surged skyward, instantly scorching the air, nearly drowning the fist shadow entirely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the firelight faded, the massive fist shadow had grown nearly invisible, then flickered and shattered into nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All who saw this froze in stunned silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Tie Jian also paused, a flicker of surprise crossing his face—but he immediately sneered, ignoring Wang Yu’s flight, and with a sudden shift, became a phantom streaking toward the nearby Liu elder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the shadow demon chuckled, transforming into rolling black mist that surged skyward, diving straight at the old man who now had only one arm left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Run! Save whoever you can!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Da Tong, face as white as snow, roared at the disciples, then flashed with spiritual light, releasing six differently colored circular discs in quick succession—some spewed ice spikes, others wind blades, still others coalescing into thick shields of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, old man, mind your own business.” Below, the shadow demon shrieked, and rolling black mist surged forth, swallowing Zhu Da Tong’s form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the Liu elder released a crimson lynx from his body, drew a white jade gourd from his hand, and continuously spat out clouds of fire—yet still, Tie Jian pounded him with punch after punch, driving him into furious roars, leaving him no chance to even lift off the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Master!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xi Men, hurry, run!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Men Mei screamed, face ashen, but before she could say more, the spear- and axe-wielding disciples beside her grabbed her—one released a giant crane from a spirit beast pouch, the other hoisted her onto the spirit bird.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white crane soared into the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not just him—Qi Shixiong and the others, seeing the shadow demon clone’s forehead talisman and crimson chains rapidly turning from red to black, turned pale and unleashed various flying weapons and spirit birds, all fleeing skyward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, a sharp tearing sound pierced the air from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive bone skiff tore through the sky; before it even reached the island, over a dozen black mists shot out from its deck, rolling toward the fleeing disciples of the Four Symbols Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More massive bone skiffs emerged one after another from the horizon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Da Tong, trapped in black mist, turned deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Liu elder, whose lynx spirit beast had been shattered by two consecutive punches from Tie Jian, wore a look of utter despair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the worst luck ever—I wonder if we’ll even make it out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu stood atop the iron skiff, cursing he still couldn’t fly with a weapon—he could only push the mechanical iron skiff to its maximum speed, unable to go any faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Earlier, while resisting Tie Jian’s casual strike, he had used his supercharged spiritual sense to spot the many bone skiffs approaching from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under these circumstances, how could he dare stay even a moment? He fled at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether others could react in time? That was up to fate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after flying only thirty li, he felt a tearing sound behind him, his face darkened, and he turned to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, several li behind him in the sky, a black mist rolled forward—within it, faintly visible, was a purple-red flying shuttle, moving at astonishing speed, nearly double that of his iron skiff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s mind raced—he knew he couldn’t outrun the pursuers. He lightly tapped the skiff with one foot, instantly transforming into a black streak that shot downward toward a nearby mountain peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the purple-red shuttle, the three—two men and one woman—immediately rejoiced, urging the shuttle forward to chase after him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crash!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The iron skiff vanished midair; Wang Yu plummeted straight down, landing heavily on the mountain peak in a crouch, then slowly rose to his feet, gazing upward at the purple-red shuttle hurtling toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The flying weapon showed no sign of slowing—it accelerated further, its tip glowing faintly with purple light, plunging straight toward Wang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>",1131,"2026-06-20T15:44:30.991Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","eed125313567290f425f9e2804e282c51e8debdf5c6e446f0aa985544046265e","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-109","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-107",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
