Lu Fan flicked his right hand, and a colorless, transparent Chaos Blade instantly took shape.
The surroundings were eerily quiet, a quietness that went beyond the normal range and was even somewhat unsettling.
The moment the two stepped into the Burial Dragon Abyss, the crisp sound of raindrops hitting the surrounding stones disappeared, and the entire space fell into a deathly silence, as if shrouded by an invisible force field, completely isolating them from the noise of the outside world.
Li Yu also noticed the anomaly. The bow and arrow were already hovering in front of him, the arrowheads trembling slightly, as he warily watched his surroundings.
Lu Fan, who had been on high alert, suddenly changed his expression. He instantly realized the danger approaching and was about to use teleportation to evade it.
"Pfft!"
The moment Lu Fan moved, a gray-white bone spear pierced through his chest without warning.
Wisps of white mist swirled around the spear tip, like living tentacles, instantly invading the wound.
Lu Fan's flesh and blood turned to ash and carbonized at a visible speed, and his life force was rapidly drained away.
"Lu Fan!" Li Yu's pupils shrank suddenly, taken aback.
The sudden attack was so swift that even Lu Fan, who possessed sensory abilities, couldn't detect it in time before being pierced through the body by the fatal blow.
Despite her initial shock, Li Yu quickly regained her composure.
He noticed that the bone spear that pierced Lu Fan did not seem to have been shot from a distance, but rather appeared out of thin air in Lu Fan's chest without warning.
Otherwise, given his reaction time and speed, he could at least have made a precise interception.
Lu Fan knelt motionless on the ground, his body completely carbonized, his life force utterly stripped away.
The next moment, Lu Fan suddenly began to tremble violently.
"cough..."
He suddenly burst into a violent cough.
Lu Fan, who should have died from this fatal blow, had his ashen flesh and blood regenerate as if time had reversed, covering his carbonized body.
Beneath his newly formed skin, a powerful energy was faintly supporting his rebirth.
Lu Fan, who had stood up again, had a face as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm.
This is the fifth life he has lost among the nine lives he possesses.
Moreover, this was his first death since becoming a Star Lord.
Although Lu Fan was quickly resurrected, it was unbelievable that he, as a Star Lord, was killed instantly while on guard.
Such a humiliating experience filled Lu Fan with anger.
Li Yu looked at the bone spear still stuck in the ground. If he had been the one attacked earlier, he wondered if he would have been able to withstand the attack.
"Hehehe..." A sinister laugh came from ahead.
Li Yu and Lu Fan looked up at the same time, and saw two blurry figures slowly appearing at the end of the hazy rain curtain.
As they drew closer, their figures became clearer.
On the left, a man in a black robe was fluttering in the wind, and white mist was constantly swirling around him, making him appear as if he were exhaling clouds and mist.
Beside the man in black robes stood an even taller figure, covered in a layer of hard white bone armor, holding several gray-white bone spears in his hands.
Lu Fan's eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized that the person who had launched the sneak attack on him was the one holding the bone spear.
Seeing that Lu Fan was still alive, the man holding the bone spear was filled with surprise and couldn't help but blurt out, "He's still alive?"
The man in black robes also looked at Lu Fan, who had come back from the dead, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes:
"As expected of the Star Lord."
The man in black robes turned his head slightly, looked at the person beside him holding the bone spear, and said with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"White Bone, didn't you say it was a sure kill? How did you miss?"
The voice was icy and chilling, seemingly capable of affecting one's soul.
"I gave you a whole day to prepare and this is the result?" The man in black robes spoke with a hint of accusation.
The man called White Bone was so frightened that his face turned even paler. He knelt down with a thud and pleaded for forgiveness in a trembling voice, "My lord, it is my incompetence."
He quickly explained:
“A full charge of energy would have been a sure kill, but I suspect he had a way to forcefully save his life, which is why I failed. Please forgive me, sir.”
The skeleton trembled violently, clearly terrified of the man in black.
The black-robed man's pupils twitched slightly, flashing with a dangerous aura:
"If you fail again, I will personally pull out your spinal cord!"
"Yes...yes." The skeleton knelt down.
"Get up."
However, the man in black robes also knew the abilities and limits of the skeleton, and the opponent was, after all, a star lord. Killing him so easily was no easy task, so he did not pursue the matter further.
Upon hearing the voice of the man in black, Li Yu felt a slight unease; the voice seemed familiar.
After searching his memory for a moment, Li Yu immediately remembered the owner of the voice.
In addition, the skeleton next to the black-robed man clearly wore the primitive attire and weapons of the Fire-Speaking Clan, and his lifestyle remained unchanged even with his superpowers.
Upon seeing this, Li Yu immediately confirmed the identity of the man in black.
Although the other person's appearance has completely changed, their unique voice and aura cannot be faked.
Li Yu glanced coldly at the man in black robes and said:
"I've seen you before."
After Li Yu recognized the man in black opposite him, he even showed a hint of pride on his face and readily admitted it:
"Hehehe, that's right, I, Mingyuan, have returned!"
Mingyuan looked at Li Yu, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes, "Human, you really are a Star Lord. That arrow is etched in my memory, I still haven't forgotten it."
The Abyss's voice was filled with anticipation of impending revenge:
"I told you, I would come back to find you!"
"How could you not be dead?" Li Yu was filled with doubt.
He remembered that when he was at the Thunder Bureau's Lingxi base, he had clearly killed the other party.
If the ultimate attack is triggered, even a ghost is beyond dead and has no chance of survival.
But now, Mingyuan has reappeared before us with a different face.
Faced with Li Yu's question, Ming Yuan let out a low, hoarse chuckle—
"Humans always think that death is the end, but they don't realize that for some beings, it is just the beginning of transformation."
"As long as the cold, damp River Styx churns beneath my feet, I will not die."
The fact that Mingyuan, whom Li Yu killed, reappeared shows that he wasn't exaggerating, and that he was accompanied by a powerful Fire Language Clan member.
“I was careless last time, which allowed you to succeed. But this time, you won’t be so lucky.” Mingyuan looked at Li Yu with a sinister gaze.
Sensing the aura of the Star Lord emanating from Li Yu and Lu Fan, he suddenly let out a strange laugh uncontrollably:
"So alike, so very alike, you remind me of some distant memories."
As he spoke, Mingyuan's expression changed, and he suddenly adopted a different style, bowing slightly to Li Yu and Lu Fan like an ancient scholar.
"I am Mingyuan. May I ask the names of the two current Star Lords?"
