Godlike: Double Penetration of the Starry Sky! A brutal beating of Ge Xiaolun at the start.

Zhou Li followed closely behind, her steps light yet cautious, her gaze frequently shifting to Long Wen to ensure his safety. Despite her fear, her eyes remained resolute, as if as long as Long Wen was by her side, she would have the courage to face anything.

Chapter 139 Something's Here

After the two had cautiously made their way forward for a while, a series of heavy footsteps approached, causing the ground to tremble slightly. Long Wen instantly became alert, stopped, shielded Zhou Li behind him, pointed his sword forward, and whispered, "Be careful, something's coming!"

Before the words were even finished, several enormous monsters sprang from the shadows. They exuded an eerie aura, their muscles taut, their scales gleaming coldly in the dim light, and their massive claws carving deep furrows in the ground. As soon as they appeared, they bared their fangs and claws and pounced on Long Wen and Zhou Li, their roars causing sand and stones to fall from the cave walls.

Long Wen's eyes sharpened, and without hesitation, he mobilized his elemental power. His longsword instantly became coated with a layer of blazing fire element, and with a powerful swing, a wave of fire swept towards the monsters. However, these monsters seemed to have some resistance to elemental attack 680; they merely paused briefly before continuing their attack with undiminished speed.

"Hmph, what a troublesome fellow!" Long Wen gritted his teeth, dodging a monster's fierce attack and thrusting his sword at its abdomen. However, the monster's hide was thick and tough, and the sword only penetrated a shallow layer before bouncing back. The enormous recoil made his arm go numb.

Seeing this, Zhou Li flicked her spear, its tip flashing with a cold light, and it shot out from Long Wen's side, aiming straight for the monster's eyes. Her movements were swift and agile, but the monster reacted extremely quickly, slapping at the spear with a claw. Zhou Li felt a jolt in her hand, and the spear almost slipped from her grasp.

"Zhou Li, watch out!" Long Wen exclaimed, watching helplessly as a monster seized the opportunity to swing its claws at Zhou Li. Zhou Li couldn't dodge in time, and her arm was grazed by the monster's claws, blood instantly seeping out and staining her sleeve red.

"Ah!" Zhou Li cried out in pain, her face turning slightly pale.

Enraged, Long Wen's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, like burning embers. "You beasts, how dare you hurt her!" he roared, charging recklessly towards the monster horde, wildly swinging his longsword, completely disregarding his own defense.

The monsters' attacks were too fierce, and Long Wen gradually became exhausted, sustaining several wounds. His elemental manipulation became increasingly chaotic in the intense battle, making it difficult to unleash his full power. Despair filled his heart: Was he destined to perish here today?

Just then, a fragment flashed through Long Wen's mind, like an echo of a distant memory. It was some vague combat techniques, incomplete yet like a ray of light illuminating his hope. He abruptly stopped, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to grasp that fleeting inspiration.

Zhou Li leaned against the cave wall, clutching her wound, and looked anxiously at Long Wen: "Long Wen, how are you? Don't do anything rash!"

Long Wen did not respond; he was immersed in his own world, and the elemental power within him began to surge violently. Affected by this, the surrounding rocks loosened and crumbled, and dust flew everywhere.

In an instant, Long Wen opened his eyes, his gaze blazing with light, as if he had become a completely different person. He flashed, weaving through the monster horde like a ghost, his longsword imbued with the power of six elements, its brilliance blinding. The fury of fire, the fluidity of water, the coldness of ice, the domineering power of lightning, the solidity of earth, and the swiftness of wind intertwined, forming an invincible force.

Each of his sword strikes was accompanied by the whistling of wind and the roar of elements, catching the monsters off guard by this sudden and fierce counterattack.

Chapter 140 You're amazing!

As soon as one monster raised its claw, it was instantly frozen by an ice shard and rendered immobile; another attempted to sneak up from behind, but Long Wen dodged to the side and delivered a powerful backhand strike imbued with lightning, causing it to crash to the ground, twitch a few times, and then fall still.

Zhou Li stared in disbelief, her eyes filled with surprise and admiration. "Long Wen, you're amazing!" she couldn't help but exclaim, the previous atmosphere of despair vanishing and replaced by soaring fighting spirit.

Under Long Wen's relentless attacks, the monsters gradually succumbed and fled, disappearing into the darkness. Long Wen, leaning on his sword, panted heavily, his wounds still bleeding, but his eyes shone with the joy of victory.

"Zhou Li, are you alright?" Long Wen looked at Zhou Li with concern, quickly walked to her side, and checked her wounds.

Zhou Li gently shook her head, her eyes full of tenderness: "I'm fine, all thanks to you. That move you just made was amazing, how did you do it?"

Long Wen frowned slightly, recalling the fragments that had just flashed through his mind: "I'm not quite sure either. It seems like it triggered something deep in my memory. These combat techniques feel very familiar, but I can't remember when I learned them."

As he spoke, his gaze was drawn to a faint light on the ground. Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was an ancient rune carved into a boulder. The rune exuded a mysterious aura and bore a subtle resemblance to the mysterious markings they had previously obtained in the ruins.

"Could this be..." Long Wen's heart stirred. He squatted down and carefully examined the runes. He had a vague feeling that this might be the key clue to regaining his memories.

However, before they could examine the situation closely, a series of noisy footsteps approached, and judging from the sound, there were many of them. Long Wen's expression changed, and he pulled Zhou Li up, saying, "This is bad! It might be the same kind of monsters from before coming for revenge, or it could be other dangers in this Rock Abyss. Let's find a place to hide!"

Long Wen and Zhou Li huddled in the cramped cave, surrounded by complete darkness, with only a few faint rays of light filtering through the entrance, casting indistinct shadows on their tense faces. Outside, the chaotic footsteps of their pursuers sounded like a death knell, each beat reverberating in their hearts, their shouts echoing through the valley like countless demons howling for their lives.

·· ····Request flowers··· ·····

Zhou Li's delicate body trembled violently. She clung tightly to Long Wen's arms, her hands gripping his clothes so tightly that her nails almost dug into the fabric. Long Wen could clearly feel her fear, a fear that seeped through their embrace and into his heart. He instinctively tightened his arms, protecting Zhou Li even more closely, his chin resting lightly on the top of her head, silently vowing in his heart, "Even if it costs me my life, I will protect you." At this moment, in the quiet cave, the rapid pounding of their hearts mingled together, clearly audible, each beat seeming to question fate.

... ..... 0

"Long Wen, what should we do... They'll find this place sooner or later." Zhou Li raised her tear-streaked face, her eyes filled with helplessness and worry, her voice trembling with a sob as she spoke.

Long Wen gently stroked her hair, his eyes as firm as a rock, and whispered comfortingly, "Don't be afraid, Li'er, we will definitely find a way out. This cave is intricate and complex; they may not be able to find us easily." But despite his words, he was still uncertain; his palms were already sweating profusely, and his eyes frequently swept towards the cave entrance, wary of any movement.

Chapter 141 A Brief Calm

Suddenly, a shadow fell over the cave entrance, followed by a blinding beam of light that made the two instinctively close their eyes. "Here!" A rough shout shattered the brief silence, and instantly, footsteps surged in like a tidal wave. The pursuers had discovered their hiding place and surrounded the cave completely.

Long Wen abruptly pulled Zhou Li behind him, his hand on the hilt of his sword. With a "whoosh," he drew it from its sheath, the blade gleaming coldly, reflecting on his stern face. His eyes narrowed, fixed on the enemy at the cave entrance, an aura of unwavering resolve rising within him. Zhou Li also swiftly drew her dagger from her waist, pressing herself close to Long Wen. Though her body still trembled, her eyes held a defiant light as she stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

The pursuers swarmed forward, their blades flashing and the cave instantly filled with the clash of swords. Long Wen's figure flashed, plunging into the enemy ranks like a ghost. His longsword flashed with silver light, each thrust and parry carrying a resolute defiance against fate. He felt his memories begin to falter amidst this life-or-death struggle; deep within his mind, a faint light flickered, as if past memories were desperately trying to break free of their shackles.

"Hmph, today is your death day!" One of the pursuers brandished a large sword, whistling through the air, and slashed fiercely at Long Wen. Long Wen dodged to the side, and with a backhand slash, aimed his sword at the pursuer's throat. The pursuer hurriedly swung his sword to block, but was kicked in the abdomen by Long Wen, staggering back several steps.

Zhou Li wasn't idle either. Seizing the opportunity, she swiftly thrust her dagger out like a snake, slashing the arm of one of her pursuers. Enraged, the man slapped Zhou Li across the face. Unable to dodge in time, Zhou Li's cheek immediately swelled up.

"Li'er!" Upon seeing this, Long Wen's eyes widened in fury. He roared and charged towards the person who had harmed Zhou Li, his long sword burning with boundless rage, unstoppable in its force. However, the other pursuers, seeing this, swarmed around him, unleashing a barrage of swords, spears, and halberds. Long Wen was instantly plunged into a fierce battle, sustaining several wounds that stained his clothes with blood.

Just as the situation became increasingly critical, countless fragments of memory suddenly flashed through Long Wen's mind. Those lost past events surged forth like a raging tide. In an instant, his power was fully restored, and his control over the elements reached an unprecedented level of strength... He suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes shining brightly. A powerful aura swept outwards from him, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

The pursuers, who had been frantically attacking, felt a surge of fear upon sensing this power, and their offensive involuntarily slowed down. "This... how is this possible?" One of the pursuers stared wide-eyed, his face filled with astonishment, almost dropping his weapon.

A cold smile curled at the corner of Long Wen's lips. At this moment, he seemed like a reborn war god. His figure flashed, his speed as fast as lightning. The longsword in his hand was wrapped in powerful elemental force, sometimes sweeping away clouds and sometimes raging flames. Wherever he went, his pursuers fell to the ground. Some were sent flying by the 3.5 elemental force, crashing into the cave walls and creating large craters; others' legs went weak, and they knelt down begging for mercy, their eyes filled with terror.

Zhou Li stood to the side, her eyes filled with admiration and joy as she watched Long Wen display his prowess. She was filled with pride. "Long Wen, you did it..." she murmured, tears welling in her eyes again, this time tears of joy.

Chapter 142 We finally made it through

After the last pursuer fell, Long Wen let out a long sigh of relief, sheathed his sword, and turned to walk towards Zhou Li. The two embraced tightly, tears streaming down their faces. After this life-or-death ordeal, their love had grown even stronger, as if no force in the world could ever separate them again.

"Li'er, we finally made it through," Long Wen said softly, his voice filled with relief and tenderness at surviving a disaster.

"Yes, thanks to you, Long Wen," Zhou Li replied, her voice choked with emotion, as she hugged him even tighter.

Just as they were immersed in this moment of peace, a mysterious fluctuation of power suddenly emanated from outside the cave. The fluctuation was like a muffled thunderclap in their hearts, making them feel uneasy. Long Wen and Zhou Li instantly became alert, released each other, and exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with vigilance and doubt.

"This power... seems to foreshadow a new crisis," Long Wen said, frowning. His hand returned to the hilt of his sword, and Zhou Li gripped her dagger tightly. The two walked side-by-side towards the cave entrance, gazing into the unknown distance, preparing to face a new challenge. The story ends abruptly here, leaving endless suspense, as if the gears of fate are about to begin a new cycle...

Night fell like a vast, black ribbon, pressing heavily upon the earth. Only a few dim rays of moonlight struggled to pierce the clouds, casting their light upon the winding mountain path. Long Wen and Zhou Li walked side by side, their steps hurried yet cautious. Their shadows were stretched long in the moonlight, as if they were the only signs of life in this desolate land.

"Long Wen, what exactly is the origin of this mysterious power fluctuation?" Zhou Li frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes gazing into the distance, where endless unknowns seemed to be hidden. She subconsciously moved closer to Long Wen, her arm gently touching his, seeking a trace of comfort.

Long Wen turned to look at Zhou Li, his eyes filled with determination and tenderness. He reached out and tightly grasped Zhou Li's cold little hand, as if trying to dispel her unease with his own body heat. "Whatever it is, now that we've noticed it, we must find out the truth. Perhaps, this is the key to unlocking the mystery of my memories." His voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the quiet night.

As they drew closer to the source of the mysterious energy fluctuations, the surrounding environment grew increasingly eerie and terrifying. The howling wind whistled through the trees, sounding like the wails of ghosts and wolves; the bushes along the roadside rustled intermittently, as if something was lurking in the shadows, watching them. Long Wen's heart pounded slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his palms. He gripped his sword hilt tightly, vigilantly scanning his surroundings, not letting any subtle movement escape his ears.

Zhou Li also keenly sensed the approaching danger. Her breathing became rapid, and her right hand quietly gripped the dagger at her waist. Her posture was tense, like a cheetah ready to pounce at any moment. Despite her unease, her gaze towards Long Wen showed no sign of hesitation; it was a resolute determination to share life and death with him.

"Watch out!" Long Wen suddenly shouted, pulling Zhou Li behind him. Just now, with his extraordinary senses, he had detected a murderous aura coming from the woods to the side.

Almost simultaneously, several dark figures darted out of the woods like ghosts, instantly surrounding them. In the moonlight, Long Wen recognized them as the pursuers who had been relentlessly pursuing him. Leading them was a tall, stern-faced man; the long sword in his hand gleamed coldly in the moonlight, and his eyes held a murderous intent.

Chapter 143 Your Death Date!

"Hmph, you guys are really persistent!" Long Wen snorted coldly, shielding Zhou Li behind him, his muscles tensing up like a fully drawn bow, ready to unleash deadly power at any moment.

"Long Wen, today is your death day!" the lead pursuer said coldly, his voice as if it came from the deepest hell, devoid of any warmth. With that, he swung his longsword, a sharp blade of light flashing like lightning towards Long Wen.

Long Wen dodged to the side, the blade grazing his clothes and creating a gust of wind. He was secretly alarmed; these pursuers were clearly much stronger than when they last met. Before he could think further, the other pursuers launched their attacks as well. In an instant, swords flashed and clashed, their deadly light gleaming in the eerie night.

Long Wen brandished his sword, parrying and dodging left and right, skillfully evading the enemy's deadly attacks with his hazy memories and instincts. His movements were agile, like a swallow darting through the forest, but his eyes revealed solemnity and focus. With each parry, a tingling numbness shot through his arm, and his tiger's mouth throbbed with pain. He knew that this couldn't go on.

Zhou Li was extremely anxious. She tried to rush forward to help several times, but Long Wen stopped her with his eyes. "Zhou Li, don't be impulsive, protect yourself!" Long Wen shouted, his voice carrying an unquestionable tone of command.

Seeing Long Wen gradually losing ground, Zhou Li was extremely anxious, and her eyes reddened slightly. She bit her lower lip tightly, gripping the dagger in her hand even tighter, her nails almost digging into her palm. "Long Wen, you must hold on..." she prayed silently in her heart.

Just as the pursuers thought victory was assured and intensified their attacks, Long Wen's eyes suddenly narrowed. He took a deep breath and quickly switched the elemental power within his body. The wind element that had been surrounding him instantly dissipated, replaced by a blazing fire element.

"Flame Wave Impact!" Long Wen roared, thrusting his hands forward with tremendous force. A blazing inferno, like a surging ocean wave, swept towards the pursuers. Wherever the flames touched, the air was scorched and distorted, and the surrounding trees trembled violently from the powerful elemental force, their branches and leaves falling like a rain of fire.

The pursuers were startled by this sudden and powerful counterattack, and they retreated in panic. The leader's expression changed, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his coldness. "Hmph, I didn't expect you to have this trick up your sleeve, but today you still can't escape death!" He gritted his teeth and charged at Long Wen again, brandishing his sword.

Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion, Long Wen spotted an opening, his figure flashing as he pounced like a ghost. His sword, blazing with fire, thrust fiercely towards the leader's chest. The man quickly dodged, but was still slashed on the arm; blood gushed out instantly, staining his sleeve crimson.

"Ah!" the man roared, his attack becoming even more ferocious. Seeing this, the other pursuers, suppressing their fear, surrounded him again.

Long Wen fought and retreated. Although he had successfully repelled some of his pursuers, his stamina was rapidly depleting. Sweat soaked his clothes, dripping down his face and blurring his vision.

Just then, one of the pursuers tripped over a stone in his panic, and an item fell from his body, shimmering faintly in the moonlight. Long Wen, with his sharp eyes, spotted the item bearing the special symbol. An idea struck him; he abandoned his pursuit, rushed forward, and bent down to pick up the item.

Chapter 144 Completely Cut Off

It was a small metal plaque engraved with some strange symbols. Long Wen had never seen such complex patterns before, but in his mind's eye, he felt that this plaque was inextricably linked to the faint memory clues and the mysterious power fluctuations.

"Long Wen, be careful!" Zhou Li's exclamation woke Long Wen from his reverie. He looked up and saw even more pursuers surging forward like a tide, completely cutting off their escape route.

"Let's go!" Long Wen grabbed Zhou Li's hand and turned to run into the depths of the forest. Their figures weaved through the night, the relentless footsteps of their pursuers trailing behind. At that moment, both of them had only one thought in their minds: to survive and unravel these mysteries.

In the forest, branches whipped against their faces and bodies, leaving bloody welts, but they paid no heed. Long Wen gripped Zhou Li's hand tightly, as if it were their only lifeline. Zhou Li followed closely behind Long Wen, panting but her eyes filled with determination.

"Long Wen, what do we do?" Zhou Li asked, panting heavily.

"Don't panic. Shake them off first, find a place to hide, and then study this brand," Long Wen replied in a low voice, his voice weary yet incredibly determined.

The two ran wildly through the mountains and forests, and after an unknown amount of time, the footsteps behind them finally faded into the distance. They found a hidden cave and carefully crawled inside.

The cave was filled with a damp, musty smell, and it was pitch black all around, so dark you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. Long Wen took out a flint from his pocket, struck it gently, and lit a small campfire. The flickering firelight illuminated their tired yet hopeful faces.

Long Wen picked up the metal plaque with the special symbols and examined it carefully in the firelight. Zhou Li also came over, their heads almost touching, their eyes intently studying the symbols on the plaque.

“These symbols look so familiar, like I’ve seen them somewhere before…” Long Wen muttered to himself, his brow furrowed, trying to dig out some clues from the depths of his memory.

Zhou Li gently held Long Wen's hand and said softly, "Don't rush, let's think about it together. Maybe this is the key to solving all the mysteries."

Night fell like a vast black ribbon, pressing heavily upon the earth. Only a few dim moonlight pierced through the clouds, casting their light onto the rugged mountain path. Long Wen held Zhou Li's hand tightly, and the two of them ran wildly through the night like startled birds, their hurried footsteps and heavy breathing breaking the silence of the forest.

"Zhou Li, hang in there a little longer, we have to shake them off!" Long Wen ran while looking back, his eyes filled with anxiety and determination. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, clinging messily to his back, and his hair was also stuck together in clumps with sweat. He looked disheveled but also exuded an indomitable spirit.
