Chapter 424

Chapter 424: We Absolutely Cannot Let Anything Happen to Him!
Some people say Starry Sky Behemoths are born in a mysterious place. They absorb the most mysterious power in the universe, so they have strength that goes beyond the mortal world.

Others say they come from a very ancient bloodline, powerful lives that have existed since the universe first opened. Their blood carries special power and talent, and after countless generations of inheritance and change, they have reached the most perfect state.

No matter which story you believe, they all lead to the same result.

That is, Starry Sky Behemoths are the strongest beings in the universe. Only Mahayana cultivators from the Upper Thousand World can fight them on equal terms.

If anyone else is unlucky enough to meet a Starry Sky Behemoth in the starry sky, they usually end up without even their bones left.

In theory, since Starry Sky Behemoths move through the void, cultivators should feel awe toward the starry sky and not dare to step into the beasts’ territory so easily.

But there is another fact everyone knows.

Starry Sky Behemoths are extremely rare. So far, the number of Starry Sky Behemoths known to cultivators can still be counted on less than two hands.

The chance of meeting a Starry Sky Behemoth in deep space is so low it can almost be ignored.

So whether it is an artifact refiner who builds starships, or cultivators who travel on starships, none of them really thinks they will ever run into a Starry Sky Behemoth.

But this time, Feng Jiu Si and the others really did.

The starship flew back along the path it came from at an even faster speed.

The scene that had just looked like a painting now seemed to be pulled away by an invisible giant hand. It rushed backward, getting farther and farther, turning from clear to blurry.

Yu Zhao’s heart pounded wildly along with the rolling scene.

The threat of death hung over everyone’s heart like a dark cloud.

A roar that sounded like it came from the deepest part of the universe suddenly swept over: “Moo-o-o!”

The whole starry sky trembled with it.

The nebula wrapped around the planet was torn apart in an instant. Cracks of all sizes spread across the planet, then it quickly collapsed, turning into countless specks of dust drifting between heaven and earth.

If Yu Zhao had seen this scene, she would definitely have thought of her experience in the Path of Reincarnation.

But right now she had no time to care about any planet. She put on every defensive tool she could fit on her body, then stuffed a big handful of pills into her mouth.

Just as she finished all this, the starship was like a small wooden boat swallowed by the sea, wrapped and tossed by huge waves and thrown toward some unknown place.

The huge impact spread along the hull and poured into everyone’s bodies.

Feng Jiu Si and the others fainted one after another.

Even though Yu Zhao had prepared as well as she could, she still lost consciousness almost at the same time as they did.

No one knew how much time passed before Yu Zhao slowly woke up.

She felt like a demonic beast had stomped her all over. Every bone in her body hurt badly.

She forced herself to endure the pain, pushed a pill into her mouth, and quietly absorbed it.

This pill was a gift of apology from Tu Xiao. Its effect was very good.

As soon as Yu Zhao held it in her mouth, the pill melted on its own and started to repair her body.

When her body did not feel so bad anymore, she finally had the energy to check her surroundings.

The starship had been hit by the roar of the Starry Sky Behemoth and snapped in half at the waist. The inner space was split into two sections.

When Yu Zhao opened her eyes, she saw Tu Xiao lying near the edge of the cabin.

The others were nowhere to be seen. They were likely in the other half of the ship.

Yu Zhao was a little surprised to see Tu Xiao still unconscious.

She had taken precautions, but Tu Xiao’s body and cultivation level were far higher than hers. He should have woken up earlier than she did.

She focused and took a closer look. Tu Xiao’s face was frighteningly pale, blood was seeping from all seven openings of his head, and his right arm and right leg were twisted into strange angles.

After thinking for a moment, she understood what had happened.

The reason Tu Xiao was hurt more badly than she was, was because he was the master of the starship. He not only had to share the impact that hit the starship, but also had to bear the aftershocks passed into him.

Together, those two things turned him into this state.

Yu Zhao looked at his weak and powerless body.

A trace of killing intent flashed through her eyes.

She stood up.

One step, two steps, she slowly walked forward.

Just as there was only the last arm’s length between her and Tu Xiao, Feng Jiu Si’s voice came from the other section of space.

Feng Jiu Si called out: “Tu Xiao, is that you?”

Yu Zhao stopped moving.

She tentatively sent her divine sense outward.

Then her eyes widened in surprise.

She knew that a starship could block divine sense.

But she had not expected that, after the starship folded, the head and tail would be completely split into two parts that could not spy on each other.

In other words, no matter what she did to Tu Xiao, the three people on the other side would not know.

Yu Zhao stood in place and looked down at Tu Xiao from head to toe.

In the darkness, killing intent rolled in her eyes like a raging tide.

For a moment, Yu Zhao really wanted to strike while he was weak and take his life.

But right when she was about to act, her wildly surging emotions suddenly calmed down.

The black flames deep in her pupils went out without a sound.

Tu Xiao could not die yet.

If he, the Young Clan Heir of the Shui Family, really died, then Yu Zhao, who had traveled with him and had ended up in the same section of the ship as him, would definitely have to face the Shui Clan’s fury.

Feng Jiu Si and the other two would never choose to protect her just because of an interesting wager.

So her life was actually tied tightly together with Tu Xiao’s. They could not be separated.

Yu Zhao took a long time to steady herself. After a deep breath, she called out in a slightly panicked voice: “Young Master Tu? Tu Xiao? What is wrong with you? Wake up!”

The three people on the other side perked up when they heard her voice.

Feng Jiu Si asked in a hurry: “Liu Yun, how is Tu Xiao?”

Yu Zhao answered in a soft voice, copying Ye Cong Xin’s old tone: “He passed out. He is bleeding a lot…”

Feng Jiu Si’s voice was full of worry as he said: “Hurry and feed him all the pills I gave you! All of them! Quickly!”

Yu Zhao answered: “Oh, okay.”

She replied while casually searching the space.

At last, in one corner, she found the pills Mu Ye had made back when she was practicing.

Yu Zhao muttered to herself in her heart: [Lucky you.]

Then she roughly pried open Tu Xiao’s mouth and fed him a whole bottle of pills.

After the pills went into his stomach, his condition still did not improve much.

Yu Zhao did not find it strange.

Second-grade pills meant for the Foundation Establishment stage could only have a tiny effect on a Divine Transformation cultivator.

It would be strange if Tu Xiao really did get better.

She did not want him to wake up so soon.

Because she was preparing a big gift for him.

Before that gift was ready, it was best for Tu Xiao to stay unconscious.

Feng Jiu Si waited a while and asked again: “Liu Yun, how is Tu Xiao now?”

Yu Zhao finally answered: “I fed him the pills. He does not look as uncomfortable now, but there is still no sign of him waking up.”

Her words scared Feng Jiu Si and the other two half to death.

The pills Feng Jiu Si had given Yu Zhao were not common medicine. Even very serious injuries would mostly heal after taking two of them.

Tu Xiao had finished a whole bottle and still showed no clear improvement.

Did that not mean he already had one foot in the coffin?

How could that be!

Feng Jiu Si spoke again, even more anxious: “Liu Yun, do you have any other healing medicine on you? Give all of it to him! We absolutely cannot let anything happen to him!”
