Chapter 541: 539 Facing It 3
Looking at Ku Chan, who was captured in the distance, and then looking outside the door at the kind-faced Lu Xian.
Yu Hong knew very well that the other party was just being polite on the surface but was actually resorting to coercion and inducent.
If the other party had treated him kindly, he might have been willing to help with the repair, but now using threats, the other party was mistaken!
‘The current situation is, if I call my master, will he be able to handle the opponent? After all, a Level Nine Arcane Master, how strong can they be? No one knows. Moreover, the other party consists of four people and likely has the assistance of the Floating City’s Arcane Mage Tower Array.’
The risk is very high.
Yu Hong asured the situation for a few seconds before nodding decisively.
“Alright, I agree to fix whatever it is you need.”
“Great, then co out, and I’ll take you there,” Lu Xian said with a smile.
“Why not have the item that needs repair sent in here?” Yu Hong countered.
“It seems you still don’t trust .” Lu Xian looked around, “Are you waiting for your back-up to rescue you? It’s useless; this place is adjacent to the Floating City, where my mana can be amplified several tis. No matter who cos, the result will be the sa.”
He saw the Daoist robe of Qinghe Mountain on Yu Hong but didn’t mind. Qinghe Mountain had already been an extinct super-ancient force billions of years ago. Not to ntion Qinghe Mountain, even other similar super-ancient forces had entered ruins and found leftover artifacts.
From the mories left by Ku Chan during the assessnt, the little guy in front of him indeed had so power behind him, capable of killing Margaret, which was not bad.
But… if they could repair the artifact they obtained, the power of the four of them would be greatly enhanced!
“Of course, I trust the senior’s words, but this repair requires precious materials and resources, and I need to see the item to estimate accurately,” Yu Hong quickly said.
“Of course, since you don’t want to co out, I’ll just take this little thing along with you,” Lu Xian’s smile remained unchanged as his magic wand made a slight gesture in the air.
Hissing.
A circle of transparent ripples blood from under his feet, encompassing the entire safe house.
‘Level Eight Arcane: Space Shift, activate.’
A chanical voice from an Intelligent Spirit sounded beside him.
“Please specify the target location.”
“The target location is the Philip teorite Belt,” Lu Xian replied.
In an instant, silver-white runes appeared around the safe house, bright symbols erged into the air, slightly rotating, forming a huge array around the safe house.
The space blockade was quickly lifted, and a new spatial teleportation began to brew.
Poof!
Just then.
The safe house where Yu Hong was located trembled and suddenly disappeared from its original position.
Lu Xian wasn’t angry but smiled instead.
“It’s useless, I’ve already set up spaceti markers around you, and no matter how you hide, the markers will send your location back to . You can’t escape or dodge.”
He tapped the magic wand again.
Another circle of silver ripples spread from the tip of the wand, quickly covering the position of the safe house.
In the next second.
The safe house trembled, forcibly brought out from its isolation state.
But what surprised Lu Xian was that the inside of the safe house was quiet, with seemingly no one there.
Suddenly, he sensed sothing and turned to look at the ship he was on.
“Interesting.” He smiled again.
On the ship, Ku Chan, who had been bound, was now liberated from the restraints.
Yu Hong had sohow passed through the ship’s protective array, appearing inside to rescue him.
The two stood side by side, their bodies quickly fading, clearly in the process of teleporting away.
“No mana fluctuations, no energy waves, just a natural twist and flicker of spaceti?” Golden sands swiftly rotated in Lu Xian’s eyes as he quickly determined the type of ability Yu Hong was using.
“It seems there’s yet another reason to keep you around….” He raised his magic wand high, and for the first ti began to chant a spell.
Low, strange syllables drifted from his mouth.
In the next mont, Yu Hong and Ku Chan, who had already begun teleporting, were forcibly pulled back, their bodies quickly becoming solid again.
‘The Eye of Transmission was interrupted!’ Yu Hong felt a jolt but remained calm. The opponent was a Level Nine Great Arcanist, and any degree of counterattack was to be expected.
The Eye of Transmission’s surprise flicker, saving soone, was the best plan he could co up with.
When he first used the Eye of Transmission, he had directly teleported into Wanxue Palace’s array, prompting his master to appear and warn him, fearing the array’s counterattack.
Just now, he decisively used this trait to try and save soone, but unfortunately, he failed.
Standing on the ship.
Yu Hong held Ku Chan’s hand, looked at Lu Xian.
“Didn’t you say you have backup?” Yu Hong asked Ku Chan in a low voice.
“The backup went to the front lines to collect materials… my master can’t hold him off…” Ku Chan smiled wryly.
“So, your side can’t be relied on?” Yu Hong was speechless.
“Not entirely, if you can escape, just go, don’t worry about , I’ll only be caught for a while, with my master’s faction involved, I’ll soon be released. But it’s different for you.” Ku Chan transmitted privately.
“It’s too late to run….” Yu Hong sighed.
Ku Chan was stunned, about to say sothing.
Suddenly, a flash of golden light appeared beside them, and Lu Xian teleported back, returning to the bow of the ship.
“This works as well, saves from having to open the array for you to board the ship. Let’s go. I’ll show you the artifact I need you to repair.” He smiled, “Don’t worry, we’re only asking you to repair a small component of the artifact. We’ve handled the rest ourselves, except for this component….”
“Can I ask, if I can’t fix it… what will you do with ?” Yu Hong asked softly.
“I believe in your ability. If you can’t fix it, it only ans you haven’t had enough ti. As long as we give you enough ti, you’ll surely succeed,” Lu Xian responded with a smile.
Yu Hong fell silent.
The other party had made up their mind; if he couldn’t fix it, they wouldn’t let him leave.
“Senior, I want to remind you. If I can’t return to the Savior Ship for a period of ti, it might cause so unnecessary trouble and chain reactions,” Yu Hong said solemnly.
Actually, after confirming that the other party didn’t intend to harm him, he wasn’t as worried as before.
Upon further confirmation that there would be no danger from Ku Chan’s side, he quickly cald down.
Regarding Lu Xian, the other party had been relatively restrained and hadn’t attacked him.
So, he spoke up to remind him.
“Trouble? You an Senior Agrius?” Lu Xian chuckled, “That one has been missing for goodness knows how many years, no need to worry. And even if it appears this very mont, the Arcane techniques it masters are no match for our current iterative system. If it weren’t for bearing the title of Star God, Senior Agrius’ strength would have long been relegated to the lowest tier.”
He spoke casually, tapping his magic wand. The Teleportation Spell activated once again.
The Intelligent Spirit emitted a programd beep.
Golden light surrounded the entire ship, began to flicker, and entered teleportation state.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
Thud!
The halo faded and disappeared.
“Hmm?” Lu Xian was taken aback and tapped his wand again.
The faint golden halo reappeared, and the entire ship entered teleportation state once more.
Soon, after three seconds.
Thud!
Another muffled sound.
The ship stopped again, motionless.
Unwilling to give up, Lu Xian triggered the golden halo once more.
Thud.
This ti, not even three seconds had passed before it extinguished as soon as it lit up.
Huff…
Lu Xian’s eyes sharpened.
He quickly released his perception.
With a sudden shout, he spun around, looking behind.
There, behind the ship in the dark space, a massive black lizard, several stories high, had appeared out of nowhere.
The enormous blood-red eyes of the lizard gazed at him calmly. Lofty, yet without a hint of condescension.
One of the lizard’s claws was gripping the ship’s rear, forcibly interrupting the teleportation state.
Evidently, the thudding noise just now was caused by the claw gripping the ship.
“…Agrius… Senior?” Lu Xian’s body tensed, the smile on his face fading.
“What did you just say?” Agrius, though having reduced its size countless tis, was still much larger than the ship.
“I couldn’t hear clearly, could you repeat that?”
Lu Xian’s expression grew serious, his golden eyes narrowing as he stared at Agrius.
In his peripheral vision, he saw Yu Hong taking Ku Chan and quietly flying away.
He wanted to stop them, but Agrius’s presence completely restrained his mana, leaving him no strength to handle anything else.
“Why ask when you already know the answer? Compared to us newcors, what do you have to be proud of besides your seniority?” He tightened his grip on the wand, layers of golden arrays unfolded around him, stacking continuously.
Ten layers, a hundred layers, a thousand layers, ten thousand layers!
Countless runes wove into a dazzling golden armor, covering his entire body, exploding with the radiance of a sun.
“This is why I despise you overconfident newbies,” Agrius sighed.
Boom!!
In an instant, Agrius’ figure flashed, and its black tail struck down on Lu Xian like a lightning bolt, the two vanishing from the original spot.
Only the ship was left, floating in mid-air, losing its controller, it could only drift in place.
Yu Hong exhaled.
“Let’s go, while that guy’s not back yet.” Actually, he had already received Agrius’s transmission of its imminent arrival. This was his key reason for daring to teleport out to attempt a rescue.
Unfortunately, it still failed. The Eye of Transmission’s ability was indeed strong, but the opponent’s reaction was too quick.
“This ti really is…” Ku Chan stretched his arm released by Yu Hong and smiled wryly.
As the two were about to leave.
Suddenly a flash of golden light appeared before them.
Lu Xian had actually teleported back again. Without a word, he pointed his wand at the two of them.
His face was now haggard, one eye swollen like a panda, pale-faced, and both arms covered in various sizes of bloody wounds. His right leg was limping, blood dripping down his robe.
Clearly, in the few seconds after being taken away by Agrius, he had suffered an unimaginably terrible beating.
