Three days passed in a row. Qinchuan had been cultivating in silence. No one disturbed him, and no one would disturb him.
During these three days, the spaceship advanced steadily. They even replenished their energy on a trading planet. During this process, they did not encounter any danger, which made everyone relax a little.
"At our current speed, it will take at least 20 days to reach the interstellar portal to leave the Holy Cluster. During these 20 days, anything can happen. We must be prepared."
Qinchuan was cultivating, so the responsibility of making decisions was transferred to Lü Zi. No one objected to this.
"We don't know how strong that one-legged Zerg is, but since he's Ink Ghost's superior, he's definitely not weaker than Ink Ghost. I think he's at least at the pinnacle of the Combination Stage!
We have no chance of winning against such an opponent! "
Lü Zi had a very clear understanding of everyone's strength. Argentin was at the mid-stage of the Combination Stage, and so was her actual combat strength. Night Serenity was at the early-stage of the Combination Stage, and her actual combat strength was equivalent to the mid-stage of the Combination Stage. Béla and Night Serenity were in a similar situation.
As for Lü Zi, she could feel that she had fused all her strength, but she was still a distance away from reaching the Combination Stage. Her actual combat strength was also equivalent to the mid-stage of the Combination Stage.
In other words, Lü Zi's team, excluding Qinchuan, had the combat strength of four mid-stage Combination Stage cultivators. Against an overlord who was suspected to be at the pinnacle of the Combination Stage, it was tantamount to a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Even if Qinchuan recovered to his peak state, it would be difficult for them to deal with an overlord at the pinnacle of the Combination Stage. After all, Qinchuan had already done his best to kill Ink Ghost. Even if he tried again, he would only be able to kill another opponent like Ink Ghost. It was basically impossible for him to kill an overlord at the pinnacle of the Combination Stage.
Moreover, they couldn't expect Qinchuan to risk his life every time they encountered a strong opponent.
"It's best if that one-legged Zerg doesn't come after us. If he does, Argentin, Béla, and I will stay here to buy time. Night Serenity, you take Qinchuan and leave. If you can't leave the Holy Cluster, find a remote place to hide."
Grave expressions appeared on everyone's faces upon hearing Lü Zi's arrangements. Even if they did everything in their power, they might not be able to hold off a supreme being at the pinnacle of the Body Integration Stage for very long. Even if Night Serenity were to flee with Qinchuan, they might not be able to get very far.
To put it simply, this could be the last battle of one of them in their life!
Lü Zi saw the grave expressions on everyone's faces. She smiled and said, "What I said just now was only the worst-case scenario. We haven't reached that point yet, so everyone can relax for the time being. Don't take it too seriously."
Upon hearing Lü Zi's words, Night Serenity said, "If such a thing really happens, I hope that you'll be the one to take Qinchuan away, not me."
Before Lü Zi could say anything, Night Serenity continued, "I know that you chose to stay behind to stabilize the morale of the troops. However, you should know that we're not a bunch of loose sand. We all know you and Qinchuan. We know that you're not the kind of people who would abandon your comrades.
If you want to take revenge in the future, you and Qinchuan will only have hope if you're alive. "
"That's what I think too." Béla looked at Lü Zi. "You and Qinchuan leave. We'll stay behind."
Argentin pursed her lips. "I hope that you can help me take care of the Yin Clan. That's my only wish."
Upon hearing everyone's words, Lü Zi could not help but show a look of gratitude. Just as she was about to say something, Karo, who was piloting the spaceship, suddenly exclaimed, "There's an insectoid in front of us!"
Upon hearing Karo's words, everyone immediately stopped talking. They quickly walked to the command deck and looked at the screen. On the screen, a black insectoid with a somewhat exaggerated design was quietly parked in the air, blocking their path!
Just by looking at this insectoid, everyone could already guess that the one-legged Zerg must be in this insectoid, and it was coming for them!
"Stop moving forward!"
Lü Zi immediately ordered them to stop moving forward. At a time like this, they could not continue moving forward!
Just as Lü Zi ordered them to stop moving forward, a one-legged figure slowly flew out of the insectoid. His gaze traversed thousands of miles and landed on the warship that Qinchuan and the others were in. His expression was calm and indifferent.
"Kacha!
Kacha! "
Suddenly, the spaceship that Qinchuan and the others were in made a sound as if it could not bear the weight anymore. It was as if it was being crushed, squeezed, and was about to be crushed into a ball by a huge force!
Upon realizing this, everyone's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, they made the decision to leave the spaceship. Night Serenity directly broke through the airspace above the command deck. Argentin pierced through the spaceship and grabbed Qinchuan who was cultivating in the training room. Everyone rushed out of the spaceship together. Almost at the same time that everyone left the spaceship, the spaceship suddenly exploded!
Everyone looked back at the spaceship that had already exploded behind them with lingering fear. If they had been any slower, they might have been buried in the explosion!
The force of the spaceship's explosion naturally could not cause any harm to them, but the key was the external force that caused the spaceship to explode!
Separated by thousands of miles, they did not see the one-legged figure move at all. Then, their spaceship exploded!
"Things are getting a little troublesome. Without a spaceship, we can only fly."
Lü Zi looked at the one-legged figure in the distance with a serious expression. Then, she looked at Qinchuan who was still immersed in his cultivation. She was slightly anxious.
Even such a violent explosion from the spaceship did not wake Qinchuan up. Obviously, Qinchuan would not wake up in a short period of time!
"Lü Zi, let's follow your plan."
Argentin handed Qinchuan over to Lü Zi. If Qinchuan had not saved her back then, perhaps she would have been corroded by the power of the void and become a void creature. Now, it was time for her to return this life to Qinchuan.
On the other side, Night Serenity and Béla were also ready for battle. As for Karo, she would not be of any use if she stayed, so she would leave with Lü Zi and Qinchuan.
"Everyone … take care!"
Lü Zi gritted her teeth. She knew that saying anything more would only be a waste of time. Therefore, she resolutely turned around and prepared to leave with Qinchuan.
