Star Journey: Destiny Returns

Chapter 172 Starlight Interlaced

Yunxuan and Yaoyue wandered through the softly moonlit forest, the faint light of the star map flickering beneath their feet, seemingly guiding them deeper into unknown territory. Yaoyue's face still held a hint of hesitation. She looked at Yunxuan and whispered, "Should we really go any deeper? These starlights are warning us." Her eyes were filled with worry, while Yunxuan seemed incredibly excited.

"Yaoyue, don't you want to know what's hidden behind the 'ultimate taste' pointed out by the star map?" Yunxuan held her hand tightly, his gaze as firm as the stars. "Every ultimate taste is connected to the power of antiquity. We cannot retreat!"

"But we might also face unknown dangers." Yaoyue's voice trembled slightly, her inner caution conflicting with her trust in Yunxuan. She wanted to rely on her reason, but Yunxuan was as eager for adventure as ever.

"Every adventure is a growth." Yunxuan's tone was gentle, but with unquestionable determination, "Believe me, Yaoyue, we will succeed."

In this quiet forest, the night was as dark as ink, and a gentle breeze brought bursts of fragrance. As the two continued forward, the star map glowed brighter, as if foreshadowing the challenges to come.

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from the front. Yao Yue stopped in her tracks, gripping the hilt of her sword, and looked towards the source of the sound. Yun Xuan felt a surge of nervousness in his heart, and he asked softly, "What is it?"

"I don't know, but we have to be careful." Yaoyue tightened the sword in her hand, and the tension on her face became more and more obvious.

Not far away, several figures quietly appeared. They were none other than the explorers they had met in the ancient city. They too seemed to have developed a keen interest in the star map, their gazes gleaming with greed and coldness.

"Look, that star map." The leading explorer's eyes flashed with a strange light. He nodded to his companions, "Capture them. We must get that map!"

"You can't succeed!" Yunxuan stood up, his voice like thunder, with an indomitable courage.

The explorers sneered, seemingly unconcerned with Yunxuan's threat. At this tense moment, Yaoyue's heart surged with blood. She smiled faintly, and the sword flashed, as if responding to the courage in her heart.

"Yunxuan, let's go together!" Yaoyue shouted softly, and the sword light cut through the night sky, heading straight for the attacking enemy.

The battle erupted suddenly. Yaoyue's figure was as swift as a swallow, her sword as powerful as a rainbow, effortlessly dodging the enemy's attacks. Each of her attacks was as swift as the wind. Yunxuan, on the other hand, fully unleashed his abilities. The star map flowed through his body, granting him unparalleled strength.

"Watch out!" Yun Xuan suddenly jumped up and used a move called "Falling Stars". A blazing light gathered in his palm and hit an explorer hard. The enemy was instantly blown away and fell heavily to the ground.

"Don't let your guard down!" Yao Yue reminded. In the gaps between the sword lights, she clearly felt the threat from the enemy.

Another explorer took the opportunity to close in, attempting to attack from the side. Yao Yue's eyes flashed, and the sword in her hand drew a graceful arc, piercing the enemy's wrist. The enemy howled in pain, and the weapon fell to the ground.

"You don't understand the secrets of this starry sky at all!" Yun Xuan shouted loudly while fighting, "Every supreme taste is a mysterious power between heaven and earth. Only those who truly know how to respect it can obtain its gift!"

"Stop talking nonsense and catch them!" The leader of the explorers roared and led the others to rush towards Yunxuan and Yaoyue.

Yaoyue and Yunxuan's coordination grew stronger. Yunxuan nimbly turned, harnessing the power of the star map to create a dazzling light, disorienting the enemy. Yaoyue seized the opportunity to strike with her sword, piercing the enemy's heart with a blazing, imposing aura.

The battle escalated, starlight and sword light intertwining like a night sky full of twinkling stars. Yaoyue's every sword move was imbued with a spirited aura, while Yunxuan's movements flickered like a meteor. Their coordination gradually gained the upper hand.

"Yunxuan, I feel the star map reacting!" Yaoyue suddenly shouted, with an incredible light flashing in her eyes.

"Keep fighting, we can unlock its power!" Yunxuan was excited, as if he saw the hope of victory.

With a loud bang, an explorer was knocked down by Yunxuan's attack. Yaoyue seized the opportunity and slashed with her sword, taking the last enemy's life. The battle ended, and the surroundings fell into silence. The moonlight cast a shadow, as if cheering for their victory.

"We succeeded." Yunxuan panted, his eyes full of anticipation for the future.

Yaoyue looked at him and smiled slightly, her heart warm as spring. Although the battle was difficult, their hearts were closer.

"Let's go, we still have a long way to go." Yaoyue said softly, holding Yunxuan's hand.

"Well, let's explore more delicious flavors together!" Yunxuan's eyes were firm, as if he could see a wider starry sky.
