1589 The Spirit Nucleus is Devoured (1/2)

”Honey!” A look of desperation came over Xue Lin's pretty face. Her eyelashes quivered as tears slid down from the corners of her eyes.

Seeing that Qingfeng Li had been separated from her and was on the other side of the tunnel, Xue Lin felt her heart break a little.

She reached out a porcelain hand toward Qingfeng Li, but the interspatial tunnel had been severed; it was a futile effort.

The two ends of the interspatial tunnel had been completely separated, split into two halves like a bottle that had been cut through the middle.

Worry and fear filled Qingfeng Li's eyes as he hurriedly reached out his own hand toward Xue Lin's outstretched palm, but found that he could not reach her.

The two of them were so close to another, but the spatial turbulence between them kept them completely apart. They were like the Cowherder and the Weaver Girl, the star-crossed lovers of the classic myth.

The spatial turbulence rushed toward the two; Qingfeng Li's hand was torn into a bloody mess, as was that of Xue Lin.

Qingfeng Li shouted at those in the other side. ”Fate Elder, Qixuan Zhenren. Quickly, protect Xue Lin!”

At Qingfeng Li's command, the Fate Elder and the Qixuan Zhenren hurried to draw upon their vital essences. Together, they created a series of white protective energy veils, blocking out the spatial turbulence to keep Xue Lin from harm.

Even so, with the spatial turbulence relentlessly rushing at the energy veil, the Fate Elder's and Qixuan Zhenren's faces both began to grow pale.

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake also quickly released their own white defensive energy veils, protecting Qingfeng Li from the assault of the spatial turbulence.

With the interspatial tunnel snapped in half, separating the group within, they all fell down toward Mars's atmosphere.

Suddenly, another beam of silver blade energy flew from the distant Sky Blade Planet. It traversed the vacuum of space with extreme keenness as it appeared directly before Qingfeng Li.

At the last moment, Sky-Devouring Snake suddenly dashed forward, its body turning into a massive snake silhouette.

Sky-Devouring Snake called upon the power of its bloodline, the Ancient Snake Ancestor. It slammed into the white blade energy, blocking the killing blow for Qingfeng Li.

Ka-boom!

Sky-Devouring Snake was sent flying. Blood spewing from its mouth, it flew down toward the ground like a falling comet.

”Sky-Devouring Snake!” Qingfeng Li howled, his eyes filled with anguish. But there was nothing to be done.

In order to defeat the void ants from earlier, Qingfeng Li had already exhausted all of his vital essence and spirit energy.

Qingfeng Li could only stare as Sky-Devouring Snake, having just saved his life, was thrown down into Mars's atmosphere.

The white blade energy did not stop coming. From the Sky Blade Planet, another beam flew toward Qingfeng Li. It was as though whoever was attacking held some kind of grudge against him, not willing to stop until he was dead.

In the face of danger, Black Puppy dashed from Qingfeng Li's side. It wanted to help Qingfeng Li too.

But Qingfeng Li had a death grip on Black Puppy's tail. ”You can't go!” He dragged the Puppy back, saying, ”You'll meet the same fate as the Sky-Devouring Snake.”

He had already lost Sky-Devouring Snake; he didn't want to lose Black Puppy as well.

These two Godly beasts had been with Qingfeng Li for a long time; the bond between them ran deep.
