Star Odyssey

ff into the distance.

“You’re not escaping!” Terence leapt after Zhou Shan, turning his back to Lu Yin.
It was at this point that Lu Yin dropped the act and jumped off the wall, palm spread out without bothering to conceal the Cosmic Palm.
The moon spun around as he connected firmly with his target’s back; Terence felt the danger moments before he was hit, but was too late to dodge.

The moon exploded and threw Terence to the ground, the impact creating a large crater.
Lu Yin himself was sent flying by the counter-attack Terence had managed just in time, his armor shattered by the impact before he flew into the wall once more.

Jeraldine held her injured arm as she walked over to the pit and looked within, finding a pallid Terence constantly coughing up blood.
Astonished, she turned around to look at Lu Yin who had fallen in the distance, she couldn’t imagine just how that one attack had caused such great injury.
That line of thought was quickly cut off as the dying Terence suddenly opened his eyes once more, whipping out a strange gun and firing a shot towards her.
The energy blast bore a hole through her shoulder, and she instinctively reacted with a Flame Palm right on the other side of Lu Yin’s original impact.
This devastated Terence’s internals, finally ending his life.

Jeraldine fell to the ground on the spot, staring in awe at Terence’s corpse while her back turned cold.
Although there wasn’t a limit on casualties during planetary trials, an abundance of deaths would still draw some ire.
This was especially true with Terence who was in the top three of her school; many hoped had been pinned on him, leaving her a little nervous at his death.

Lu Yin dragged his injured body over and said weakly, “Don’t worry.
Worse comes to worst, I’ll have my grandfather transfer you to the Pagoda Planet.”

Jeraldine cast a cold glare his way, “What’s with that palm attack you used on him? Even a doubled Shockwave Palm could not have injured him like that.”

He shrugged, “You’re thinking too much.
He was already wounded, and I managed to hit the same spot.”

However, she clearly didn’t believe him.
Terence’s combat level was an enormous 2,500; even stacking attacks, it was difficult for a Seeker to cause such injury.
However, she was cut off again as a loud shout rang behind them, with the escaped Zhou Shan having reappeared to finish the job.
His axe slammed down once more, but as she instinctively grabbed Lu Yin to use as a meat shield, he promptly diverted his attack.
Lu Yin himself turned around and landed another palm attack; while he’d sustained heavy injuries himself, she was weak enough for this strike to be effective.
Her face paled as she kicked him away in a knee-jerk reaction, falling back into the pit herself.
Zhou Shan roared and hacked towards her again, but she grabbed Terence’s gun and fired.
The energy beam shot a hole through the Executioner’s axe and shoulder, throwing him a dozen meters away with an unknown fate.

It was only then that the scene went quiet, leaving only the constant crackling of the flames all around.
Four Sentinels and a Seeker had crushed almost half of Nanjing amidst their battle, burying the district in a sea of fire.

Jeraldine retrieved some medicine from her cosmic ring and swallowed it, alleviating some of her injuries.
Hearing voices from every direction only minutes later, her expression changed and she struggled out of the pit.
Dragging her wounded and pierced body through the battlefield, she stumbled towards Zhou Shan who was lying motionless on the ground.

The Executioner’s troops soon had her surrounded, staring at her injured body warily as they prepared to attack.
Feng Hong and Qin Xuan, the researcher with glasses, stepped forward, “Surrender immediately, and we can spare your life.”

“You natives want to spare my life?” Jeraldine asked with disdain as she pointed her gun at Zhou Shan’s head, “Don’t you want this one to live?”

“Let go of the Executioner!” Feng Hong barked.

“Ten miles back, or I kill him now.”

Feng Hong and the other captains looked at each other but didn’t move.
A cold glint flashed past Jeraldine’s eyes, however, and she picked up a nearby stone and smashed it against Zhou Shan’s head.
Seeing the blood starting to flow, Feng Hong finally shouted, “Stop! We can move away, but we have to treat the Executioner or he’ll die.”

Jeraldine nodded, allowing a doctor to walk over and provide first aid.
It took a full twenty minutes to just staunch the blood, after which he spoke up, “His injuries are too severe, we need to take him to treatment immediately.”

“Ten miles back right now and wait; I’ll leave in three hours.
Or I’ll just kill this native now.”
