The two sudden black shadows instantly drew the attention of Xiao Yan and Yao Chen. With his powerful soul perception, Xiao Yan quickly saw their appearance clearly.
"This is… a puppet?"
After seeing it clearly, Xiao Yan said uncertainly, "This thing looks extremely similar to the puppets Lin Feng sold."
"Xiao Yanzi, run! It's dangerous!"
The moment Yao Chen heard him, an inexplicable sense of dread surged up from his heart without warning. He hurriedly shouted, his voice breaking slightly from anxiety. It even sounded a little sharp and miserable.
Even Gu Xun'er, who had just been blasted backward, was startled by his voice and couldn't help turning her head to look. But before Yao Chen could finish speaking, the already massive bodies of the two puppets suddenly swelled several more sizes right before their eyes.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yan and Yao Chen's pupils shrank sharply into needle points. At this moment, only one thought flashed through their minds.
"Damn it, Lin Feng, you actually used this trick?!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Two extremely harsh explosive roars erupted inside the narrow spatial wormhole.
The dazzling light from the explosions was so intense that even the people far behind, sitting inside the spatial ships, felt their eyes sting and had to close them instinctively. Right after came a terrifying shockwave powerful enough to severely injure, or even kill, a newly advanced Dou Zun.
It crushed everything in its path and violently slammed toward the surrounding space!
Before such a frightening shockwave, the spatial walls supporting the wormhole instantly shattered into nothingness. With its support destroyed, the spatial wormhole rapidly began collapsing.
The people behind saw this and didn't even have time to curse. They immediately turned their spatial ships around. The operators of the ships poured Dou Qi into the control arrays like madmen, without caring about exhaustion.
They desperately guided the ships to flee in the opposite direction of the shockwave!
The travelers behind them, seeing the people in front suddenly running for their lives, were completely confused but still followed instinctively, turning around and sprinting backward at full speed.
Fortunately, most of the shockwave crashed into the spatial walls and spilled into the void outside the passage. Because of that, although the wormhole collapsed for more than ten li, the walls farther ahead finally withstood the remaining force, preventing a total collapse.
"No!"
Seeing Xiao Yan's figure completely swallowed and gone within the explosion, Gu Xun'er's eyes instantly turned blood-red. Her sharp, trembling voice echoed nonstop through the collapsing wormhole.
Without thinking further, she immediately turned around and was about to rush straight into the explosion's center. But the two Gu Clan experts hiding in the shadows could no longer stay put after seeing this.
They hurriedly revealed themselves and lashed out several Dou Qi whips, binding the irrational Gu Xun'er. One of the older Gu Clan experts hurriedly said, "Miss, the spatial wormhole there has collapsed and is now connected directly to the void outside. It's extremely dangerous."
"One wrong move and you'll be sucked deep into the void. At that point, even if the clan leader rushes here at full speed, he might not make it in time to save you."
"Yes, Miss, please wait for the shockwaves to fade and the space to stabilize again. Once your safety is guaranteed, we can go check the situation."
The other expert quickly added.
"Bastards! Big Brother Xiao Yan is life and death unknown right now! How can I care about anything else?! You two, let me go right now!"
Gu Xun'er's blood-red eyes glared at them as she shouted, "If anything happens to Big Brother Xiao Yan, I'll go straight to my father and have both of you executed!"
"I—"
Hearing the killing intent in her voice, the two Ancient Clan experts instantly felt their hearts go cold and were left speechless.
Although the two Gu Clan experts weren't really afraid of her threatening to complain, since they hadn't actually done anything wrong, her words still made both of them uncomfortable. After all, everything they were doing right now was for her safety.
Yet Gu Xun'er's response made them feel deeply wronged.
They were trying to help, but this was the attitude they received in return. But if they let her go now, the consequences might be far more serious. The two exchanged a glance, then chose to completely ignore her words and continued restraining her.
Anyway, she already disliked them at this point. Whether they let go or not, the outcome seemed the same—so why not choose the option that ensured her safety?
If Gu Xun'er were still thinking rationally, she would never have said something like that. But now that Xiao Yan's figure had been completely swallowed by the explosion, his fate unknown, she no longer cared about anything else.
Seeing that the two experts refused to release her, she immediately mustered her Dou Qi and tried to forcefully shatter the whips binding her. However, although her strength was impressive for her age, the gap between her and the two Gu Clan experts was still far too large.
No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't shake the Dou Qi whips even the slightest bit.
"Bastards! If something happens to Big Brother Xiao Yan, I don't want to live either! If you two still don't let me go, believe it or not, I'll self-destruct right here! Let's see if the two of you can survive that!"
Seeing that her struggling was useless, Gu Xun'er abruptly turned and threatened them.
"This—"
Hearing this, the two experts exchanged another look, both of their expressions filled with frustration.
They glanced toward the area of the earlier explosion and noticed that the shockwaves there were finally starting to fade. After hesitating for a moment, they withdrew their Dou Qi, releasing her.
After all, if they kept restraining her and she really chose to self-destruct, they would definitely die with her.
"Swish!"
The instant the restraints vanished, Gu Xun'er didn't spare them a single glance. She shot toward the explosion site as fast as she could. The power of the blast moments ago—especially catching someone off guard—was enough to kill even an early-stage Dou Zun.
Her Big Brother Xiao Yan was only a One-Star Dou Zun at the moment. How could she possibly remain calm under such circumstances?
Behind her, the two Gu Clan experts exchanged yet another look. In their hearts, they silently made a firm decision: the next time this young lady came out, no matter what happened, they would refuse to be assigned to protect her.
Even if the Elders punished them, they would still disobey. Because experiencing this once was far more than enough!
