Grassroots Travel: The Star Lord of Another World

Chapter 267 The storm is coming

In the hall, the ancient and mysterious atmosphere seemed to be frozen, and the sense of oppression filled every inch of space. Gao Xingchen protected Nan Li behind him, staring sharply at the man in black who walked out of the shadows, and his heart was alarmed.

"Who are you? Why are you stopping us?" Gao Xingchen asked in a deep voice, with a barely perceptible tremor in his tone. He knew that the enemy in front of him was no ordinary person, and the powerful pressure even made him feel suffocated.

The man in black sneered, his tone piercingly cold: "You dare to say more after trespassing into the forbidden area? Leave your things behind, and I can spare your life!"

"Thing?" Gao Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the "thing" the black-clothed man was talking about was most likely the key evidence about Nan Li's life experience that they had just found in the secret room.

Thinking of this, Gao Xingchen clenched the sword in his hand, his eyes became extremely firm: "If you want evidence, it depends on whether you have the ability!"

After saying that, Gao Xingchen no longer hesitated and swung his sword to attack the man in black. The sword light was sharp, with a sound of breaking through the air, and it went straight to the vital point of the man in black.

The man in black obviously did not expect Gao Xingchen to suddenly attack. He was stunned for a moment, then dodged Gao Xingchen's attack easily.

"You don't know what you can do!" The man in black snorted coldly, and a black long sword suddenly appeared in his hand. The blade flashed with cold light, and with a sharp murderous aura, he counterattacked towards Gao Xingchen.

Gao Xingchen didn't dare to be careless and quickly swung his sword to block. With a loud "clang" sound, the two weapons collided with each other, stirring up a burst of dazzling sparks.

Gao Xingchen only felt a powerful force coming, which made his palm numb and his body involuntarily retreated.

"Xingchen!" Seeing this, Nan Li hurried forward to support Gao Xingchen, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

Gao Xingchen took a deep breath, suppressed the surging blood in his body, and shook his head at Nan Li, indicating that he was fine.

"Who are you? Why are you stealing my things?" Nan Li looked at the man in black and asked coldly, with a hint of anger and confusion in her tone.

The man in black ignored Nan Li and stared coldly at Gao Xingchen, murderous intent in his eyes: "Hand over the things and I can let you live, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, hurried footsteps were suddenly heard outside the hall. Then, a dozen men in black filed in and surrounded Gao Xingchen and Nan Li.

"Hmph, it looks like I can't keep you here today!" A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the black-clothed man's eyes. He swung the long sword in his hand and attacked Gao Xingchen and Nan Li first.

A fierce battle is about to break out...

The black-clothed man's long sword brought a sharp wind, like a poisonous snake spitting out its tongue, and went straight to Gao Xingchen's face. Gao Xingchen did not dare to take it head-on, and retreated quickly, waving the long sword in his hand to create a sword flower, trying to block the black-clothed man's attack. However, the black-clothed man was very strong, and every sword he swung was unstoppable. Gao Xingchen's defense was like paper in front of him, and it was vulnerable.

Nan Li saw this, a cold light flashed in her beautiful eyes, and she rushed out like a ghost, the short sword in her hand turned into a silver light, and pierced the back of the man in black. The man in black was prepared, and he forced Gao Xingchen back with a backhand knife, turned around and slapped Nan Li.

"Bang!" With a dull sound, Nan Li was knocked back several steps by the man in black, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Li'er!" Gao Xingchen's eyes were bloodshot when he saw this. He rushed towards Nan Li desperately, but was surrounded by a dozen men in black brought by the man in black.

These men in black were all very powerful. Although Gao Xingchen fought hard, he was outnumbered and soon got several scars on his body.

"Damn it!" Gao Xingchen's heart was burning with anger. He knew that if this continued, he and Nan Li would probably die today.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from outside the hall: "Who dares to trespass into the forbidden area of our Nan family!"

Before he finished speaking, a figure rushed into the hall like lightning, with a spear in his hand like a dragon, and instantly repelled several men in black who were besieging Gao Xingchen.

The person who came was the head of the Nan family, and behind him were a dozen elite members of the Nan family, all holding weapons and full of murderous intent.

“Father!” Nan Li saw the head of the Nan family and shouted anxiously, “Be careful, these guys are very strong!”

The Nan family head nodded, glanced at the man in black and others, and said in a deep voice: "Who are you? Why did you trespass into my Nan family's forbidden area and hurt my daughter?"

The man in black sneered and said arrogantly, "Old man, you are not qualified to know our identities. If you know what's good for you, just hand over your things and I can spare your life!"

"Looking for death!" The head of the Nan family was furious. He shook the spear in his hand and stabbed the man in black.

The man in black dodged the attack from the Nan family leader and sneered, "Old man, since you're looking for death, don't blame me for being rude!"

After saying that, the man in black swung the long sword in his hand and fought with the head of the Nan family. Both of them were masters, and the flashes of swords and guns intertwined, and it was difficult to tell who was the winner for a while.

Other men in black also engaged in a battle with the Nan family elites. The hall was suddenly filled with the flashing of swords and the sound of killing.

Gao Xingchen and Nan Li were also drawn into the battle. They stood back to back, struggling to resist the attacks of the men in black.

However, the men in black were numerous and strong, so Gao Xingchen and Nan Li gradually fell into a disadvantage.

"Puff!" With a dull sound, the head of the Nan family was hit in the chest by a knife from the man in black. He spit out a mouthful of blood and staggered backward.

"Father!" Nan Li was extremely anxious upon seeing this and rushed towards the head of the Nan family regardless of everything.

"Li'er, don't come over!" The head of the Nan family shouted, trying to stop Nan Li, but it was too late.

When the man in black saw Nan Li rushing over, a sinister look flashed in his eyes, and he swung the long knife in his hand suddenly, aiming straight at Nan Li's heart.

"Li'er!" Gao Xingchen was furious when he saw this scene and wanted to rescue her, but he was entangled by several men in black and could not get away at all.

Seeing that Nan Li was about to die under the knife, suddenly...

A black shadow flashed by, appearing in front of Nan Li like a ghost. In a flash, the black shadow swung out a palm and took the fatal blow from the man in black.

"boom!"

A huge energy wave exploded in the hall, causing a gust of wind that made everyone's clothes rustle.

When the dust settled, everyone could see who the person was.

"Elder Wu!" Nan Li was pleasantly surprised. The person who came was none other than Elder Wu, who had the highest seniority and the strongest power in the Nan family.

Elder Wu had white hair and beard, but he was vigorous and his eyes were as bright as lightning. He glanced at the seriously injured Nan family head, then at the pale Nan Li, and said in a deep voice: "Miss, you take the head of the family to heal first, leave this to me!"

"But..." Nan Li wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Elder Wu with a wave of his hand.

"No need to say more, I will protect you all even at the risk of my life!" Elder Wu said in a firm tone, leaving no room for doubt.

Nan Li knew that Elder Wu's strength was unfathomable, and she also knew that this was not the time to hesitate. She looked at Gao Xingchen deeply, then helped the head of the Nan family up and quickly left the hall.

"Want to leave? Not that easy!" Seeing this, the man in black was about to chase after him, but was stopped by Elder Wu.

"Your opponent is me!" Elder Wu roared, unsheathed the sword in his hand, turned into a silver dragon, and went straight for the man in black.

The man in black sneered, swung the long sword in his hand, and fought against Elder Wu. Both of them were top masters, and for a while, it was difficult to tell who would win.

On the other side, Gao Xingchen witnessed Nan Li risking his life to protect himself and the head of the Nan family. He was deeply moved and it also inspired him to fight with unprecedented fighting spirit.

"what!"

Gao Xingchen roared to the sky, the internal energy in his body circulated wildly, and the sword in his hand burst out with dazzling light.

"Boy, you're looking for death!" A man in black was frightened when he saw Gao Xingchen's momentum rising suddenly, and swung his knife at him.

"Get out!" Gao Xingchen roared and swung his sword. The sharp sword energy instantly split the man in black in half.

"This……"

Seeing this, the other men in black were shocked by Gao Xingchen's terrifying strength and did not dare to step forward for a moment.

Gao Xingchen ignored the men in black. He stared at Protector Wang in the crowd with burning eyes and said coldly, "Come on, let me see how strong you are!"

Protector Wang felt Gao Xingchen's fighting spirit, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his figure flashed and appeared in front of Gao Xingchen.

"as you wish!"

As soon as Wang Hufa finished speaking, he slapped Gao Xingchen with his palm. Gao Xingchen was not afraid at all and swung his sword to fight back.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Gao Xingchen was knocked back several steps by Protector Wang's palm, but he quickly steadied himself and rushed forward again.

The two men fought back and forth, punching and kicking each other, and the fierce battle made the whole hall tremble.

Just when Gao Xingchen was about to defeat Protector Wang, the ruins suddenly shook violently, the ground began to crack, and cracks appeared on the walls, as if some powerful force was about to awaken.

"what happened?"

Gao Xingchen and Wang Hufa were both stunned by this sudden change. They stopped fighting at the same time and looked around vigilantly.

"Boom!"

The vibrations of the ruins became more and more violent, and a terrifying aura spread from the depths of the ruins, making people feel uneasy.

“Oh no, this power…” Protector Wang’s face changed drastically, his eyes filled with fear.
