My carefree life in space

Chapter 248 Encounter with Demons

Following the guidance of the light, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze left the area where Dragon Island was located.

Turning around, Lin Shushu looked in the direction of Dragon Island, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

"Mo Ze, do you think Senior Cangwu will come back?" Lin Shushu asked uncertainly. Although she firmly believed he would return, she was only about 50% sure.

Mo Ze stood beside her, following her gaze to the location of Dragon Island, and gently comforted her.

"Yes, Shushu, you have to believe in your abilities. And I believe that Senior Cangwu isn't so easily defeated. Think about it, he survived such difficult circumstances on J56 Star. Now he's in a place he knows best, and he'll definitely be reborn. Maybe next time we meet, he'll still remember us!"

After carefully considering Mo Ze's words, Lin Shushu smiled easily. "Mo Ze, you're quite good at comforting people. After you said that, I suddenly feel that everything can have a perfect outcome."

Mo Ze chuckled. Nothing in this world is perfect; everything is just the result of the hard work and effort put in by those who strive for a perfect outcome. He believed that Shu Shu understood this principle as well, which was why she pursued a goal with such difficulty, crossing mountains and seas, all so that neither she nor others would have any regrets.

Filled with hope for the future of the dragon race, Lin Shushu and Mo Ze embarked on a journey to find the teleportation array. Having achieved their purpose in coming to the Azure Cloud Continent, they naturally wanted to return to the Blazing Sun Continent first.

They only learned upon arriving on the Azure Cloud Continent that the teleportation array between the Flame Sun Continent and the Azure Cloud Continent was not bidirectional. This meant that to return to the Flame Sun Continent, they had to first find the teleportation array on the Azure Cloud Continent's side. And they currently had no clue about this.

Fate seems to love playing tricks on people. Before they could find the teleportation array, a storm, though not entirely unexpected, swept across the Qingyun Continent.

The demons, like a raging tide emerging from the darkness, once again wreaked havoc on this land. Piercing screams and raging flames shattered the tranquility of the Azure Cloud Continent in an instant.

During the fierce battle in Brahma City, Mo Ze personally killed a demon leader. This heroic act, while upholding justice, also made him a prime target for the demons.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze were naturally drawn into this cruel conflict.

At this moment, the demon race's spies were like a dense spider web, searching for Mo Ze's whereabouts throughout the Azure Cloud Continent. If they hadn't been staying on Dragon Island, isolated from the outside world, they would have been discovered by the demon race's spies long ago.

However, they were unaware of all this at the moment. So, when a group of demon soldiers surged out from all directions like ghosts and surrounded them, both of them were somewhat surprised.

Among the demon soldiers, the leader was a tall, ferocious demon general. He held a demon bow and glared fiercely at Mo Ze. "You're the one who killed my chieftain? Today is your death day!"

With that, he drew his magic bow, and black energy arrows shot straight toward Mo Ze.

Mo Ze and Lin Shushu had already guessed his purpose the moment he spoke, so they were naturally prepared. Therefore, despite the arrow's extremely strong penetrating power, they easily dodged it.

Seeing his attacks so easily evaded by Mo Ze and Lin Shushu, the demon general felt a surge of anger. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he slowly drew his demon bow again. This time, his movements were more deliberate, and his gaze held a hint of seriousness and caution.

As the magic bow was fully drawn, a sharp whistling sound filled the air. Black energy arrows appeared out of thin air, shooting towards Mo Ze and Lin Shushu like lightning from four directions: up, down, left, and right.

These arrows were extremely fast, instantly closing the distance to their target and completely blocking their escape route.

However, after this period of practical experience, Mo Ze had become increasingly adept at fighting. He keenly sensed the trajectory of the arrows, and his figure flashed like a ghost, instantly rushing to the left and rear. The arrows that were originally locked onto him grazed past the hem of his clothes and struck the ground behind him, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Lin Shushu remained calm and composed. Her cultivation level was already high, and with the added enhancement of the Star Mirror, which not only allowed her to see into people's hearts but also provided her with keen perception of the surrounding environment and enemy attacks during battle, this level of attack was nothing to her.

The moment the arrows came, she slightly turned her body, perfectly avoiding the frontal attack. At the same time, with the help of the Star Mirror, she skillfully adjusted her posture, gracefully dodging arrows from other directions, like a fairy dancing elegantly.

The fact that the two of them so easily dodged the attack again sent a chill down the demon general's spine. He had originally thought that this blow would be enough to throw his opponents into disarray, or even seriously injure them. But the performance of these two made him realize that those who could kill their demon leader were indeed no ordinary people, and he had to be much more careful.

The demon general abandoned his contempt, slung the demon bow behind his back, and slowly drew the sword from his waist, which emitted a ghostly light and whose blade faintly emanated strange magical energy.

His eyes suddenly turned cold as he locked onto Mo Ze. With a roar, he charged towards Mo Ze like a tiger pouncing on its prey. Just before reaching Mo Ze, he abruptly twisted his wrist, the sword tracing a strange arc, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, aiming for Mo Ze's throat.

This sword strike was incredibly fast and powerful; wherever it passed, the air was torn apart, emitting a sharp whistling sound.

Mo Ze's eyes sharpened as he sensed the ferocity of the sword strike. He swiftly sidestepped, simultaneously thrusting his longsword out like lightning. The two swords clashed, sparks flying. However, the demon general's sword strike contained immense demonic power, causing Mo Ze's arm to go slightly numb.

Mo Ze knew he couldn't fight head-on, so he used the recoil to leap backward, creating distance between himself and the demon general.

But the demon general, pressing his advantage, lunged forward again, his ghostly sword dancing like a phantom, each strike aimed straight for Mo Ze's vitals. In an instant, Mo Ze was caught in the demon general's relentless barrage of attacks.

Lin Shushu looked at Mo Ze, who was struggling, and felt a little worried. She made up her mind that as long as Mo Ze was no match for the opponent, she would take action immediately.

Just as the demon general swung his sword again to stab Mo Ze in the throat, Mo Ze seized the moment when the general's defense on his left ribs opened up, and stopped dodging. He took a step forward, meeting the demon general's sword head-on, and at the same time, his longsword, like a dragon emerging from the sea, stabbed at the general's left ribs with the force of a thunderbolt.

The demon general was startled and tried to withdraw his attack and change his defense, but it was too late. He watched helplessly as Mo Ze's sword thrust straight at him, a flicker of fear in his eyes. With a "thud," Mo Ze's longsword pierced the demon general's left ribs with perfect accuracy, the blade sinking more than halfway in.

The demon general let out a painful roar, his ghostly sword falling limply to his side. Taking advantage of the moment, Mo Ze twisted the blade forcefully, then pulled it out sharply, spurting out a stream of black, foul blood. The demon general staggered backward, falling heavily to the ground with a thud.

The surrounding demon soldiers were stunned by this sudden turn of events and were at a loss for what to do.

Lin Shushu gave them no chance to react. Her spiritual power transformed into thousands of arrows, which pierced their brows. Instantly, they fell to the ground like demon generals.
