Chapter 655: Senior Martial Brother Appears in a Crisis

Stars from beyond the heavens fell from the sky, tiny flickering lights grew closer until they became a massive celestial body plummeting toward the wildlands.

At that moment, a carriage raced along a muddy mountain trail, but the galloping horse suddenly came to a halt and refused to move forward.

The coachman was puzzled. Why did the horse stop so abruptly?

Was there a lurking danger?

Could there be specialized horse hunters from Zu’an around?

“Big brother, why aren’t we moving?”

Su Kexin peered out of the carriage, looking confused at the situation.

“Miss, I’m sorry, my horse suddenly stopped. Typically, that indicates a potential danger, and we can’t continue.”

“Danger? Is someone lying in ambush?”

Su Kexin clenched the Phoenix Sword tightly, prepared for battle.

With her senior martial brother not around, it was up to her to protect her mother and grandmother. If she couldn’t handle this little thing, how could she become her senior brother’s partner?

Where were the enemies hiding?

Su Kexin gritted her teeth, scanning her surroundings. The night was desolate and cold winds blew with an eerie chill, the howls of wolves in the wild added to the sense of despair.

Every rustle in the grass heightened her alertness.

Yet, she couldn’t spot any hidden assassins or attackers nearby.

She gently lifted her head, gazing up at the starry night sky.

What she saw was a flickering star, growing larger, surrounded by strange gases, rapidly descending from the heavens.

Its shape expanded slowly, but that didn’t mean it was falling slowly. In fact, it was plummeting at breakneck speed, piercing through layers of the atmosphere and heading straight for the earth.

“Oh no, could it be…??”

Su Kexin was alarmed, anxiety gnawing at her as she realized this falling star might bring disaster!

Thinking back to her time on the border, she remembered that falling star which caused catastrophic damage, erasing three hundred thousand alien forces and leaving a path of devastation!

It was incredibly terrifying; she never expected to encounter a falling star again! What terrible luck!

However, despite its dreadfulness, the falling star had a silver lining—crystal ores that could be used to forge her and her senior brother’s Phoenix Twin Swords.

But with her senior brother absent, the significance was drastically diminished.

Now, escape was the priority!

But where to escape? She had no clue where the star was about to land or how extensive the impact zone would be, leaving her utterly in the dark!

So, where should she run?!

Wait, calm down! She recalled reading in books about how to determine the landing site of a falling star, how to evade during disasters.

She should run east, run hard—it should work.

“Big brother, a star is falling! We must drive the horse east, quickly!”

“Oh… okay…”

The coachman was rattled; a falling star was a serious matter that could spell disaster!

What had he done to deserve this misfortune?

He didn’t know whether to go or stay, so he just urged the horse eastward.

But the horse wasn’t fast enough, and they couldn’t escape the impact zone within such a short time.

No choice but to fly on their swords!

“Mother, grandmother, we don’t have time! We need to fly away! Hang on tight!”

Su Kexin summoned her Phoenix Sword, soaring into the air. Her mother and grandmother, both startled, weren’t sure what was happening but could only follow Su Kexin in a hurry.

They couldn’t help but worry—Su Kexin’s sword technique didn’t feel as stable as her husband’s, and they feared they might fall.

Indeed, without Lin Nuo around, it felt good to have a man in the family.

Meanwhile, Lin Nuo watched this unfold from the shadows. He couldn’t be more anxious about the falling star than Su Kexin!

Could it be the Celestial Martial Star? Its trajectory was off—it shouldn’t be heading toward Su Family Village.

There weren’t any other falling stars right now; it had to be the Celestial Martial Star!

But wait, Su Kexin had the potential to burst forth. The trajectory of the Celestial Martial Star was predetermined; how could it possibly change?!

Could the main character’s halo be genuinely this absurd?!

Also, Su Kexin was still moving! If she had stayed still, that would’ve been good enough, but she was running east instead—what effect would that have? The consequences would only bring her closer to the explosive landing zone of the Celestial Martial Star. Was she compelling herself to unleash her potential?!

Lin Nuo thought it was a disaster waiting to happen. Two dilemmas faced him:

One, the explosion from the falling Celestial Martial Star might take him away.

Two, if he did nothing, and Su Kexin exploded, that would lead to her gaining a chance, making it all in vain.

As a brilliant villain, he had to take a risk.

His mind raced, calculating that with his speed, he could undoubtedly carry them away faster than Su Kexin could fly on her sword. Furthermore, he had previously tested that flying together on the Spirit Sword with Su Kexin could speed things up significantly.

Time to act!

In a flash, Lin Nuo dashed from the dark underbrush just as Su Kexin was about to take off, he rushed forward.

“Who? An assassin?! Ah, wait, it’s—Senior Brother!”

Su Kexin exclaimed in joy. At this critical moment, her senior brother had appeared!

Lin Nuo didn’t respond; he charged in directly.

With three women present, logically he only needed to take Su Kexin, but he intended to take them all.

Sword summoned, they soared.

In an instant, the Phoenix Sword soared alongside Su Kexin’s Phoenix Sword. He aimed to use the Phoenix Sword to stabilize her sword, preventing it from collapsing in its descent.

However, he hadn’t expected that when the two swords came together, a burst of spiritual energy surrounded them, preventing anyone from easily falling even if they tumbled from the swords.

The Phoenix Twin Swords indeed had unique powers when they were combined.

“Hold steady, focus your energy and fly!”

Lin Nuo stood behind them, steadying both Spirit Swords as Su Kexin poured her energy into them, charging them for a swift ascent.

At that moment, the Celestial Martial Star was crashing down, causing thunderous explosions that shook the mountains, fires roared to life, illuminating the wilderness as flames consumed vast stretches of woods, creating a hellish scene.

The combined spiritual energy of the twin swords granted formidable defensive capabilities, shielding them from the explosive force of the Celestial Martial Star, allowing for a smooth descent.

Under the immense impact, Su Kexin and her companions barely avoided the explosive aftermath of the Celestial Martial Star, soon touching down.

“Ah, that was close! Thank goodness Senior Brother was here; otherwise, we would have been in big trouble!”

Su Kexin breathed a sigh of relief, grateful to Lin Nuo, a reliable man who always provided her with a sense of security.

Lin Nuo also sighed in relief.

Fortunately, Su Kexin managed to evade disaster; otherwise, just how much potential would have been unleashed from an explosion like that?

Would it have crushed Su Kexin?!

That shouldn’t be the case—after all, this was her opportunity, and getting crushed would only mean a greater fortune!

Meanwhile, the Dong Wei and the undercover organization’s joint forces were left dumbfounded; the Celestial Martial Star didn’t land where they had arranged for it to go.

Quickly, get going! Don’t miss the opportunity!
