Yun Huang couldn’t comprehend Liu Yuan’s behavior at all.
What kind of expression was that?
This was no joke!
The Black Knight had just bought them a precious moment with what amounted to a suicidal move—it wasn’t so Liu Yuan could stand there like a statue, waiting to die!
The massive compressed boulder, carrying a dull roar of wind, was already upon them.
Yet Liu Yuan remained rooted in place, unmoving.
Had she given up?
Or… did she have some other plan?
Countless thoughts flashed through Yun Huang’s mind, but none provided a clear answer.
The boulder was moving so fast she could already feel the wind against her face.
Still, Liu Yuan showed no sign of dodging.
Yun Huang’s heart clenched.
There was no time to think!
The boulder was about to crush Liu Yuan’s skull!
At the last possible moment, Yun Huang lunged forward, throwing her full weight into a desperate shoulder-check against Liu Yuan’s side.
Thud!
The sudden impact sent Liu Yuan stumbling sideways.
Meanwhile, Yun Huang’s momentum carried her right into the spot where Liu Yuan had stood.
She didn’t know why she’d done it.
Maybe life had worn her down too much.
Or maybe Su Qi’s kindness was a debt she could never repay.
But none of that mattered now.
She looked up.
The enormous compressed boulder loomed in her vision, rapidly expanding.
The shadow of death had never felt so suffocating.
The wind pressure tore at her hair and whipped her clothes into a frenzy.
Then—in less than a tenth of a second—
A piercing shriek, sharp enough to rupture eardrums, erupted from behind without warning!
Something tore through the air at impossible speed.
A streak of light, so faint it was almost imperceptible.
In the next instant, it had crossed an impossible distance.
Thwip—!
The boulder, moments from crushing Yun Huang, jerked violently—just five meters above her head.
Then, without warning, a hole the size of a bowl exploded through its center!
Shards of rock and dust blasted outward from the exit wound, propelled by a shockwave of air.
A spear—jet-black, etched with eerie golden patterns—
Its tip gleamed with a chilling light, having pierced straight through the densely compressed earth.
The shaft trembled slightly, emitting a low, resonant hum.
BOOM!!
The boulder could no longer hold its form.
Cracks spiderwebbed from the point of impact before the entire mass detonated into fragments!
Chunks of debris scattered like hail in every direction.
Yun Huang felt the shockwave slam into her. A few larger shards grazed past, the wind from their passage stinging her cheeks.
But the crushing weight of death was gone.
Liu Yuan, barely managing to regain her balance after the collision, stared in stunned silence.
If Yun Huang didn’t recognize that spear, Liu Yuan certainly did.
"Brother?!"
But this wasn’t over.
The colossal lava behemoth, its throwing arm still mid-motion, paused.
The mocking glint in its burning eyes flickered, replaced by confusion.
Slowly, it turned its massive head toward the direction the spear had come from.
That spear.
It could’ve dodged.
But after a brief, "wise" consideration, it decided there was no need.
Its sheer size meant evading would’ve made it look ridiculous—maybe even topple it over.
A spear that small? Even at full force, it’d barely be a pinprick.
With the indifference of swatting a fly, the beast raised its gargantuan, magma-crusted palm and lazily swatted at the tiny black speck.
Then—
Shink—!
A sound absurdly delicate for the behemoth’s size.
The black spear didn’t stop.
Didn’t deflect.
Instead, like a red-hot blade through wax, it sheared straight through the hardened rock shell of the beast’s palm.
Then the molten core beneath.
The golden patterns along the shaft flared once.
SPLORTCH!!!
A wet, explosive crack—like pressurized steam bursting free.
The same palm capable of flattening hills now had a clean, gaping hole blown straight through it.
Magma, flecked with ember-like sparks, gushed from the wound in a scalding geyser.
For the first time, the beast’s fiery eyes widened in shock.
A clear, unmistakable sensation registered in its primitive mind:
Pain.
"Groo…?"
Its growl was short, strained—almost disbelieving.
And the spear?
It never slowed.
The spear tip sent a spray of molten rock and shattered stone flying, driving straight toward the most radiant core at the center of the colossal beast's chest!
Yun Huang was utterly stunned by the unimaginable scene before her, her mind blank.
Had the Guardian finally arrived?
But the Guardian of Jiangxia didn’t wield a spear…
The molten beast thrashed wildly, trying to evade!
But the Spear of Path’s End was faster!
Thunk—!
It plunged deep into its core.
Like a miniature sun, an explosion erupted within its chest!
The devastating energy instantly obliterated the elemental core hidden within its body!
The massive frame of the tenth-tier creature stiffened abruptly!
Then, like a collapsing mountain, it toppled!
Dust billowed, the ground quaked!
The entire Origin Realm seemed to tremble from the impact of that single strike!
Everyone stared in stunned silence.
A tenth-tier creature—
Annihilated in an instant?!
This was absurd!
Even if the Guardian of Jiangxia had come personally, such a feat would be nearly impossible!
This wasn’t just about strength anymore—
This was… outright cheating!!
A brief, deathly silence.
Then, emotions suppressed to the limit erupted in an instant.
"We’re alive!"
"We didn’t die!"
Deafening cheers and tearful cries of joy filled the air.
A warrior capable of obliterating a tenth-tier Origin Realm creature had arrived.
There was no reason left to fear death now!
The members of the former sanctuary point slumped to the ground, some sobbing uncontrollably, others clutching their comrades in tight embraces.
Only Liu Yuan remained standing, staring blankly at the spear that had pierced through the molten beast.
Logically, her brother’s arrival should have filled her with joy.
Yet, an inexplicable emotion—not happiness—surged in her heart.
A girl’s thoughts could be strange sometimes.
For instance, right now, Liu Yuan was fixated on one thing.
Because Yun Huang had pushed her aside.
So, in that critical moment, her brother had descended like a divine savior, rescuing Yun Huang from the brink of death.
That scene should have been hers.
The knight appearing in the most perilous moment, just like in a fairy tale.
So why had it become Yun Huang’s instead?
