Since he flipped the car, he might’ve passed out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Possible. Let’s pull out No.1 first,” the blonde woman replied, frowning as she glanced at the overturned, ruined car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fine, leave it to me. When it comes to controlling earth and stone, I’m no match for that amateur Du Xiaohong.” The giant, earth-colored head nodded vigorously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a twist, he fully emerged from the earthen wall—a two-meter-tall giant, his entire body covered in yellow soil, resembling a “man of earth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth-man crouched, pressing both massive hands flat against the ground, fingers flexing with force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom.” “Boom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground beside the car churned violently; soil and rocks surged together, forming two massive yellow hands, each over ten feet long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two giant hands gripped either side of the overturned car and pulled with all their strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crack.” “Crack.” “Crack.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car was torn apart, splitting cleanly into two halves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Contents spilled out—but no human figure emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three blonde woman and her companions stared, stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where’d he go? Did this kid slip away right under our noses?” the earth-man roared, furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve been watching from above the whole time—No.1 never left the car,” the airborne boy said, equally astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If he never left the car, then he escaped underground. Henry, No.1 might have the same subterranean mobility ability as you,” Helena frowned, making her judgment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? He can move through soil too? Then he’s still nearby. Captain, I’ll chase him!” Henry said without hesitation, and before the blonde woman could respond, he leapt forward—his body dissolving like water into the ground, vanishing instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Henry, still as impulsive as ever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Captain, according to the synchronized tracking data from ‘Dawn Angel,’ No.1 is still moving rapidly eastward along the road,” the winged boy said, glancing at a wristwatch resembling a radar, then pointing toward the road on the other side of the earthen wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena turned, glancing back over her shoulder—but the road ahead was empty, no sign of anyone. Her eyes flickered as she spoke again:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No.1 truly has subterranean mobility. He probably escaped the base the same way last time. But once Dawn Angel locks onto him, even if he burrows underground or runs to the moon, we’ll find him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A Zhen, follow him. Use your ability to force No.1 out. As long as he leaves the ground, I’ll handle him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Understood, Captain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, this time, all three of us A-rank psychics are on the hunt—where’s he gonna run?” The winged boy chuckled, his back wings flared—and with a “whoosh,” he shot forward along the road.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Helena flicked her sleeve, revealing a small silver pistol, and fired it forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A “zzzzt” rang out—a silver bullet shot forth, trailing blinding electric light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, electricity crackled over Helena’s body, transforming her into a streak of lightning that followed the bullet in perfect sync.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu gripped the white-boned banner in one hand, formed a hand seal with the other, his body sheathed in golden light, speeding through the earth at a depth of a hundred meters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the car had slammed into the earthen wall, he had already drawn the Yin Soul Banner and, the instant the vehicle hit the ground, used a Dunshu  to vanish underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though confident he could handle some British psychic operatives, he feared the British might deploy military satellites to unleash a “human vaporization” laser strike—or send swarms of drones to carpet-bomb the area with devastating explosives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had talismans and spells for defense, but if real military-grade strikes came, he wouldn’t survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, some lasers or bunker-busting bombs—even hundreds of meters underground—would be utterly useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, in recent years, blue-star technology had advanced by leaps and bounds; as the blue-star’s top power, Britain likely had secretly developed countless new weapons of even greater power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had no intention of testing the blue-star’s most advanced weapons with his own flesh and blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that feeling of being watched from above still lingered—he couldn’t escape the satellite’s lock, even underground. He had to reach his support team as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, as long as the satellite could track him, he could never truly shake off his pursuers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Wang Yu gave the bone banner a slight shake, preparing to draw more yin energy to increase his earth-dashing speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But suddenly, his expression darkened—he sensed something with his spiritual sense, and without hesitation, unleashed his immense mental force backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hundred meters behind, at a depth of seventy to eighty meters underground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The earth-man Henry was swimming through the soil, vigorously paddling his arms—each stroke propelled his soil-covered body forward by several feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To him, the underground debris and earth were like a swimming pool; his movements were not only textbook-perfect but radiated explosive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next instant, a powerful mental force swept over Henry—his head throbbed with a dull “hum,” but he shook it off and continued paddling forward as if nothing had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu noticed this and let out a soft exclamation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had intended to crush the man’s skull outright with his mental force—but the moment his power reached Henry’s head, it was blocked. Intrigued, he extended his spiritual sense to scan the man’s entire body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Henry’s head bore a silver-metal helmet, previously concealed beneath the layer of yellow soil, so he hadn’t noticed it before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t know what material the helmet was made of, it clearly blocked mental force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only that—the entire body of the earth-man, beneath the layer of soil, wore a matching silver suit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yu’s mind turned, and he sneered, tapping his forehead with one finger—another wave of mental force rolled backward.\u003C\u002Fp>",1046,"2026-06-20T15:44:32.565Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1e8e730ca6e4399ef231e0af77ca26dadadb2e2169c5772ac2a0444ffe54db6d","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-429","the-immortal-path-among-the-stars-chapter-427",530,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-immortal-path-among-the-stars-cover.jpg"]
