Chapter 970: Chapter 970

Pai Lan, seeing the fear uncontrollably rising among his subordinates towards Jia Yan, immediately spoke up to invigorate their spirits.

This reminder, however, roused the drowsy Jia Yan, whose consciousness was about to fade away at that very moment!

"The passage exit, we’ve arrived so soon? That’s tens of thousands of kilometers!" The first thought upon awakening was that something felt amiss, but when he looked back, he was astonished to see the exit on the other side of the passage right before him.

Having flown such a long distance in a very short time left Jia Yan’s gaze slightly shocked.

However, at this moment, he regained a trace of lucidity and immediately took stock of the situation, spotting the passage entrance. Jia Yan then mustered all his power and fiercely charged towards it!

"This path is blocked, turn back."

At that moment, Jia Yan was surprised to find that a creature, not very tall and about the size of an average Earth person, had suddenly appeared in front of him on all fours...

Though petite in stature, the force emanating from its body betrayed its strength, overwhelming like a mountain summit, making it hard for Jia Yan to breathe.

The power of this monster was, at that moment, displayed to an unimaginable extent, with even Pai Lan in the background showing a faint fear.

"Good! Star Martial Lord has come. Block him quickly. He is a destructor at the gathering point. We must kill him!"

The power of his transmission used True Energy, unlike Brainwave Power, and at this moment, it was extremely efficient and fast, almost instantly deployed as the other intercepted Jia Yan.

Although Jia Yan was somewhat delirious at that moment, hearing this name still sharply roused him!

Wasn’t the Star Martial Lord one of the strongest among the Dragon Strong Ones, stationed at this gathering point as the fourth among the top ten strong ones, a being even more powerful than Pai Lan?!

As Jia Yan realized this, the dropping foot of the opponent, previously a few kilometers away, now flashed like lightning before him!

"Is this the power of the fourth among the top ten Strong Ones?!" Jia Yan looked at the formidable being before him, whose body was only as big as one of Jia Yan’s eyeballs, yet the aura of Xing Wu felt like a mighty mountain, overwhelming him and leaving him breathless.

And while Jia Yan was still delirious, the opponent’s strike had already harshly hit Jia Yan’s body.

His head, struck right in the center by Xing Wu’s forefoot, reverberated like a gong, sending tremors throughout Jia Yan’s body and almost making him lose consciousness instantly.

The strength of his opponent was still incomparably superior to Jia Yan’s present state.

Jia Yan knew that, despite his power having greatly advanced and his Bluish Defense having been significantly bolstered, compared to his opponent’s crushing advantage, he stood absolutely no chance.

"No, I can’t lose consciousness. Escape is just before my eyes. How could I give up here?"

At that moment Jia Yan thought of many things, remembering the crises he had overcome since his rebirth. Every time he survived, every crisis was resolved, but if he were to fall here, he truly wouldn’t accept it!

"Right! We are already near Harbor Star. Outside, we might already be within the region of Harbor Star, so..."

Jia Yan suddenly realized this point.

The region where Xing Wu intercepted him was at the utmost end of the other side of the passage, exactly where the exit of Harbor Star was located. Even though Xing Wu had instantly burst through with a direct attack on him, the region of the passage they were in must also definitely be within Harbor Star!

As he was rapidly struck by a powerful force, Jia Yan saw through this point instantly.

At that moment, the several powerful beings behind him, wanting to encircle Jia Yan right then and intending to blast him back to their midst, would then collectively attack Jia Yan.

Even if Jia Yan was strong, he stood no chance of resisting against Star Martial Lord. Although they were both among the top ten Strong Ones, the variation in their strengths was horrifyingly vast. The strength of Xing Wu, ranked fourth, could kill Pai Lan in less than twenty seconds!

Even if Jia Yan was mighty, Xing Wu’s power was beyond Pai Lan’s, and a few strikes might be enough to shatter Jia Yan’s peculiar defense and kill him outright.

At that moment, Xing Wu didn’t hold Jia Yan’s strength in high regard, only finding it odd that he had escaped from Pai Lan’s hands, though he was merely surprised. It was good timing as he just heard from his Heavenly Dragon Clansmen that this Jia Yan had killed one of their clanspeople, and he was already thinking of a way to eliminate Jia Yan. Now that the latter had delivered himself to the doorstep, removing him wouldn’t raise any objections!

Suddenly, Xing Wu sensed something odd. Jia Yan, blasted away by him, was unexpectedly advancing instead of retreating, using the force of the blast to strike aggressively at those approaching to besiege him.

"No good! His target is the passage wall. Stop him!" Xing Wu’s surprised voice rang out.

"Watch me." Pai Lan took the lead, intercepting right in front of where Jia Yan was charging, and harshly raised his palm to press toward Jia Yan.

Just a moment before contact with Jia Yan, the drowsiness in him suddenly cleared significantly!

His speed surged suddenly, swiftly dodging aside from Pai Lan’s attack.

Seeing that Jia Yan had somehow managed to increase his speed even further than before, Pai Lan felt annoyed internally, wanting to pursue, but Jia Yan had already instantaneously passed through the region he was blocking, and even more suddenly sent another Starry Sky Mid-Term Existence blocking in the region crashing down screaming.

And while Xing Wu could not reach in time, Jia Yan, using the momentum of several forces, harshly slammed into the wall of the passage...

Boom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
