Wu Shattered Star River

Mu Qingchen took a deep breath, but she didn't retreat. Instead, she continued to walk forward with her sword.

She had already come this far, so she would naturally not retreat without a fight. She would fight with all her strength until the very last moment, and only give up when she truly had no other choice.

Fighting four opponents at once was somewhat difficult for Mu Qingchen. Fortunately, she had the experience of fighting six opponents at once on the ninth island, where the space would also vibrate, making it much more difficult.

These puppets, like before, immediately disappeared into the ground after being shattered. The entire mountain seemed to have a powerful array, because Mu Qingchen's attacks, when striking the mountain path, did not leave any traces.

Mu Qingchen sat down again to recover. After recovering for half a day, she continued forward. After walking halfway, she looked towards Jiang Han's floating bridge and, seeing that Jiang Han had not yet appeared, felt a little relieved.

"That's not right…"

Mu Qingchen suddenly thought of a problem: if she cleared the path upwards and Jiang Han followed behind, wouldn't he encounter new puppets?

If he didn't encounter new puppets, wouldn't she be clearing the path for Jiang Han for free?

"Forget it, never mind!"

Mu Qingchen hesitated for a moment and continued upwards.

Could it be that she would stop going up just because Jiang Han followed and benefited from the lack of puppets?

She circled around again and arrived at the third level. As she expected, six puppets appeared here!

"Buzz!"

Moreover, something very unpleasant happened: the space here began to vibrate, trapping her in a mire and sharply reducing her speed.

This level made her feel like she was breaking through the ninth island, but it was even more difficult than the ninth island.

Because the space here was narrower, the space for maneuvering was limited, so she would bear even greater force from the attacks.

More importantly, this was only the third level. There were still two more levels behind, with eight and ten puppets respectively. How could she possibly get through?

"Go!"

She only hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and rushed forward. She didn't have too many thoughts in her mind anymore. She would just take it as it comes, do her best, and not have any regrets.

She used a powerful protective magic treasure, which strengthened her defense. Without this treasure, she simply couldn't withstand the attacks of so many puppets.

After fighting for the better part of the day, she destroyed two puppets, but she was severely injured and couldn't hold on any longer, so she was forced to retreat.

Something extremely frustrating happened…

As she retreated downwards, the golden-armored puppets chased after her all the way, even down the winding mountain road!

She could only resist on one side while fleeing on the island.

What made her even more depressed was that when she wanted to retreat back to the ninth floating bridge, she couldn't go back.

All the floating bridges had array barriers, so she could only keep running around on the island.

Her injuries were severe, with knife marks on her back and body, broken armor, and blood everywhere.

She could only fight hard while refining divine medicine to recover. If this island wasn't so big and she didn't have enough space to move around, she would probably have been hacked to death by the golden-armored puppets by now.

Of course, the protective magic treasure on her body played a big role!

She secretly cried out in distress. This couldn't go on. Her recovery speed couldn't keep up with the rate of injury. She would be finished sooner or later!

She circled around the island again and again. Many cultivators from Destiny Mountain outside were on tenterhooks, especially many young male cultivators.

In their hearts, Mu Qingchen was the only goddess. Seeing the goddess being chased and in imminent danger, they couldn't wait to rush in and take the blows for the goddess.

Daoist Zheng Yi, on the other hand, didn't have much fluctuation in his expression, because he knew one thing: even if Mu Qingchen's physical body was shattered, her soul would not be destroyed.

At least Mu Qingchen would not die completely. After coming out, she could reshape her physical body. This experience would be of great help to Mu Qingchen's future growth.

Mu Qingchen was chased for nearly half an hour before a floating bridge fluctuated, and then Jiang Han appeared again.

After Jiang Han came out, he continued to self-detonate and continued forward.

At this moment, he was already in a space of over nine hundred zhang. He was moving forward very smoothly. After only a few self-detonations, he reached the end of the floating bridge.

In the last zhang of distance, Jiang Han self-detonated three times in a row. On the fourth time, he was reborn on the Lake Heart Island.

"Finally out? Or is everything in front of me an illusion?"

Jiang Han stood on Lake Heart Island, looking around blankly, unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.

He stood there dumbfounded, not moving his body, and took out the divine medicine to restore his life force and began to absorb it.

"咻!"

After waiting for a moment, Mu Qingchen came howling with four golden-armored puppets.

Seeing Mu Qingchen being chased, Jiang Han didn't make any move. He blinked his eyes and muttered, "It feels a lot like an illusion? I appeared on Lake Heart Island and no golden-armored puppets attacked, how could Mu Qingchen be attacked by golden-armored puppets?"

After he muttered, his body flashed and flew to the side, wanting to get away from Mu Qingchen and the puppets.

Although his voice was small, Mu Qingchen heard it. Her pretty face suddenly sank, and she shouted, "Fellow Daoist Jiang! These golden-armored puppets are real, you have already entered Lake Heart Island!"

"Uh… it seems to be an illusion after all? How could Mu Qingchen, such a cold and aloof fairy, take the initiative to talk to me?"

Jiang Han still didn't move, standing on the side and talking to himself.

Mu Qingchen was completely anxious. It was one thing for Jiang Han not to help, but Jiang Han was obviously confused about whether it was an illusion or reality, so he was a little muddled.

While desperately resisting, she shouted loudly, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, this is not an illusion, it's real. Come and help, I can't hold on anymore!"

"The fairy actually took the initiative to ask me for help? Too fake, right?"

Jiang Han blinked his eyes, a little skeptical. Seeing that Jiang Han didn't move, Mu Qingchen could only continue to run wildly with the golden-armored puppets.

After waiting for a while, Mu Qingchen circled back with the golden-armored puppets, and she shouted again, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, help!"

Jiang Han touched his nose, thought for a while, and said, "I feel like it's still an illusion, or… you shout 'Brother Jiang'? If you shout it, then it's not an illusion, it's real!"

"Brother Jiang?"

Mu Qingchen's face darkened. She was more than two hundred years older than Jiang Han, how could she shout "Brother Jiang"?

Moreover, her personality has always been relatively aloof, how could she say it?

Mu Qingchen stopped talking. When Jiang Han saw this, he nodded and said, "As expected, it's an illusion, hum… trying to deceive me!"

Mu Qingchen was speechless. Her eyes turned cold, and she rushed towards Jiang Han with the golden-armored puppets, attempting to divert the disaster and get Jiang Han to help restrain two golden-armored puppets.

Jiang Han was not fooled and immediately became invisible. Mu Qingchen came over with the golden-armored puppets, but it was meaningless. She could only resist on one side while running wildly with the puppets.

Her injuries were getting heavier and heavier. She had no chance to rest and recover. She had already used several protective magic treasures, and now the energy of the one on her body was almost exhausted.

She still had the last protective magic treasure, but this one was for saving her life, and she didn't dare to use it easily.

She circled back again with the golden-armored puppets, but Jiang Han was always invisible, so she couldn't see where Jiang Han was at all.

She hesitated for a moment and shouted, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, help me this time, I owe you a favor, how about it?"

"A favor?"

Jiang Han's figure appeared, and he said somewhat moved, "How about this, Fairy Mu, I'll help you get through this difficulty, and you help me persuade the high-level members of Destiny Mountain to stand on the side of the Light Path, how about it?"
