only then did the black flying dagger reappear a few feet behind its neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant rat let out a shrill screech, violently shaking its head and spewing forth a thick, gray-white beam of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The massive beam veered off into the dense forest, carving a deep trench through countless trees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above Wang Yu’s head, the air rippled, and rings of black mist spontaneously swelled outward, halting the descending emerald-green silk net mid-air, preventing it from lowering even an inch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu clearly saw the face of the short figure—a man no taller than four chi, clad in a long green robe with an oversized head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing both his attack and the rat’s simultaneously blocked, his expression shifted slightly; he rapidly chanted a few incantations, and before him, flickering flames rolled into seven or eight emerald-green, eerie flames that trembled slightly before surging toward Wang Yu’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Wang Yu felt a cold wind behind him—the black iron cone spun and shot toward the back of his skull like a speeding arrow, making his eyes flicker slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For almost simultaneously, a black flying dagger from the opposite side silently pierced toward the green-robed dwarf’s occiput, causing his face to harden in shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Despicable!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cunning!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both the green-robed dwarf and Wang Yu silently cursed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flash of red light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three floating artillery platforms circling Wang Yu each shimmered with a red aura, instantly merging into three layers of light screens that shielded him completely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-robed dwarf flicked a hand seal; thick green mist surged from his body, forming a giant green hand that shot forward like lightning to snatch the black flying dagger, gripping it tightly in his five fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, “Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green flame clusters struck the red light screen and clung to it like leeches, igniting into rolling green flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu felt his spiritual power gushing uncontrollably into the red screen; his face paled, and he urgently pressed his five fingers against the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another drop of liquid spiritual power within him transformed into surging energy and poured into the screen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This green flame was extremely venomous—it seemed capable of directly igniting spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clang!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black spike also struck the rear screen; twenty-three crimson inscription shadows flashed briefly before spinning wildly like a drill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ssshh!” The first layer of the screen shattered instantly; the second layer cracked with dense fissures, on the verge of collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-robed dwarf let out another piercing whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant rat’s light beam vanished; it whipped its head, and its neck suddenly elongated grotesquely, as if bones had dissolved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amid a thick stench of decay, a monstrous jaw lined with fangs descended like a dark cloud over Wang Yu’s head, ignoring the emerald-green silk net and the swirling black mist from the Iron Cloud Brick, and snapped down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It resembled two massive iron gates closing in from both sides, about to crush him between them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green-robed dwarf sneered, clearly believing his opponent was already dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this critical moment, Wang Yu spat out a single word: “Explode!” The last remaining layer of red light around his body instantly ruptured, sending rolling flames blasting outward in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black spike, the green flames, and the monstrous jaw all momentarily froze under the furious blast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that brief respite, Wang Yu’s feet spun with faint blue-and-red firewheel shadows, emitting a piercing shriek as his body blurred and vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, mere inches behind the giant rat, a swirl of blue-and-red light revealed Wang Yu’s form materializing there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He exhaled gently; his body surged upward in size, and golden mist streamed from his skin, rapidly coiling around both arms, faintly forming the illusion of two exquisite armored bracers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hand silently pressed against the giant rat’s back; his arm thickened suddenly, and all five fingers clenched with full force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant rat sensed something amiss—it growled low, and “Ssshh!” black mist erupted over its body; every coarse hair stood rigid, as if covered in thick needles, and its body twisted violently, both front limbs sweeping backward like spinning wheels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive golden palm shadow coalesced tightly against the rat’s back, flashed once, ignored the black mist and erect hairs, and struck the beast solidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant rat shrieked, its massive body launching skyward like a ball, a clear giant palm imprint visible on its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s feet spun again with blue-and-red lightwheel shadows, and his form vanished with another piercing shriek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the giant rat, blue-and-red light swirled—Wang Yu reappeared overhead, flipped backward in a somersault, legs up and head down, and with a flick of his arm, another massive golden palm imprint shot downward like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant corpse-rat, due to its undead nature, reacted far slower than a normal beast—too late to dodge—it was struck again, this time squarely on the skull.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rat’s massive body plummeted downward like a cannonball, crashing heavily into the dense forest below with a muffled thud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rat lay in a massive crater, dust and debris swirling around it, trees toppled in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The giant rat let out a furious roar, rolled to its feet, glared up at Wang Yu in the sky, opened its mouth again, and white light flickered between its fangs—ready to unleash that terrifying gray-white beam once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at that moment, Wang Yu in the sky unhesitatingly formed a hand seal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three faint blue banners appeared around the crater below, swaying in the wind; instantly, thick white mist surged forth, engulfing the entire forest below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the mist came booming crashes and the giant rat’s roaring howls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though a mere beginner-level barrier could hardly contain a second-rank corpse-creature, this rat clearly had no intelligence—temporarily delaying it for a moment or two was still feasible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this unfolded like lightning, happening within mere breaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other side, the green-robed dwarf finally reacted, furious—he flung his sleeve, and clusters of emerald-green flames rapidly coalesced before him; he pointed a finger at the black iron cone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A piercing whistle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black iron cone shot forward as a streak of dark light, straight toward Wang Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>",1222,"2026-06-20T15:44:32.161Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","c6cdcb3bbac4370878c67986527e668d4d57e12d23e9921044a7b4fe6e0dbfe8","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-330","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-328",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
