Chapter 92

A century ago, after the Siro River War ended, more than half of the martial arts experts in the Odin Star Region were casualties, leading to a significant decline in talent.

However, in recent decades, the entire Odin Star Region has once again seen a surge in talent, with the southern star systems, particularly the Domyr Star, leading the way, producing a steady stream of outstanding young martial artists.

Among these outstanding young martial artists, four young warriors stand out, possessing extraordinary talent and exceptional potential, far surpassing their peers.

The War God Dongfang Huang once highly praised these four young warriors, stating that their talents were boundless, like the sun of tomorrow, and that they would surely become the pinnacle figures of the Odin Star Region in the future. Thus, they are known as the Four Suns of Domyr.

Dong Lin Jian from the East, Nan Feng Lin Binglan from the South, Xi Bing Ma Belle from the West, and Bei Yan Xiao Juechen from the North.

The Ma Belle family, located in the Western Military Domain, has a lineage spanning ten thousand years, with its influence spread throughout the entire Odin Star Region. It is said that the direct descendants of this family have the bloodline of the Rosai Royal Family of the Human Alliance, making them true imperial nobility.

The Ma Belle family has produced geniuses in every generation. A century ago, the leader of the previous generation, Ma Belle Rensou, was widely recognized as an unparalleled talent, with martial arts strength and military talent that only the Blood-Cloaked General Zhou Bufan could match. If not for the emergence of the Eastern Commander, who ended the warlord division in the Odin Star Region, the southern star systems would likely have already fallen under the rule of the Ma Belle family.

Ma Belle Long, the current generation's genius of the Ma Belle family, is said to have been born with innate Inner Yuan, requiring no physical tempering. His talent and ability surpass even his ancestor Rensou, rivaling the legendary Dongfang Huang.

As thoughts of Ma Belle Long's various rumors raced through his mind, Sun Yan hid behind a pile of rubble, not daring to breathe loudly. At such a time, if he were discovered, he could easily be killed on the spot.

Damn it, what is the leader of this generation of the Ma Belle family doing in a place like Baiyu Star, where even birds don't defecate? It must be sheer boredom, or rather, this woman must be out of her mind to come to such a place.

While cursing in his heart, Sun Yan also prayed that these three uncles and aunts would quickly move to another place to settle their disputes, without involving him, a mere nobody.

Suddenly, a terrifying wave of energy surged into the sky, making Sun Yan's spine chill with a sense of impending danger.

"Damn!"

Sun Yan didn't dare hesitate. Ignoring the risk of being discovered, he activated the [Dragon Subduing Pile] to its full extent, pushing the [Hurricane Step] to its limit, and dashed away like an arrow from a bow.

Boom!

Explosions echoed one after another, like a minefield being detonated, coming from behind him. Debris flew, striking Sun Yan's back, causing sharp pain.

Without looking back, Sun Yan ran for ten minutes, ensuring he was safe before turning to look behind him.

"Damn! Thank goodness I ran fast enough!"

The scene before him made Sun Yan draw a sharp breath. The mountains on both sides of his hiding place had been instantly flattened, with dust and debris everywhere.

"What kind of combat technique did that woman use? It has such terrifying power."

Sun Yan could tell that the terrifying wave of energy came from Ma Belle Long. It was unimaginable what level of combat technique could have such astonishing destructive power.

Standing there, Sun Yan didn't leave. He was bold enough to want to see if anyone was injured and perhaps take something for himself.

"When people die, their lights go out. Those external possessions, uncles and aunts, you can leave them to me. I'll also give you a proper burial so you don't end up exposed in the wilderness."

After standing still for a long time, Sun Yan confirmed that there were no signs of life ahead and cautiously approached. When he saw the scene, he couldn't help but curse, "Damn, Ma Belle Long is too ruthless. Not only did she kill them, but she also left them in such a state."

In a pile of rubble, he saw the remains of two men, but there was no sign of Ma Belle Long, who must have left immediately after delivering the devastating blow.

As for the two battle-scarred weapons Sun Yan had coveted, they were now broken into pieces, useless.

After searching the area, Sun Yan found nothing and had to give up dejectedly.

At this moment, the sound of people approaching could be heard from a distance. Sun Yan shook his head, not wanting to get into trouble, and fled.

...

Deep into the night, the severe cold of Baiyu Star descended, the transition from scorching heat to extreme cold happening without warning. An ordinary person would have fainted on the spot.

In a forest within the red alert zone, Sun Yan moved quietly in the darkness, looking for a secluded place to rest.

"Level 9 Martial Realm, known as Great Martial Artists, have undergone a thousand temperings of Inner Yuan, with blood as thick as paste, bones as hard as jade, and tendons as strong as steel."

"From skin to internal organs, the entire body undergoes a complete transformation, allowing them to be as light as a swallow and remain in the air for extended periods."

"The Inner Yuan of Level 9 Martial Artists can penetrate the body, shooting out to a kilometer away, remaining condensed and undispersed, marking the peak of advanced martial artists."

"Level 9 Martial Artists can also use Battle Scar Armament, further boosting their combat power, allowing them to fight an entire army alone, demonstrating the power of Great Martial Artists."

Replaying the battle from earlier in his mind, though he only caught a glimpse, Sun Yan was left with an indelible impression.

Witnessing the battle of Great Martial Artists, Sun Yan truly understood that when one's strength reaches such a realm, it is a realm beyond human. No wonder it is said that the power of martial arts masters is immeasurable, capable of moving mountains and seas, and controlling the weather, far exceeding people's imagination.

Standing in the forest, Sun Yan took a deep breath, his expression firm. He resolved to train harder, striving to reach the realm of Great Martial Artist and experience the wondrous taste of that realm.

Unconsciously, Sun Yan reached the depths of the forest. His gaze shifted, and his steps became lighter and more silent as he circled around to the front of a tree, peering out. The scene before him made his brows furrow.

In the clearing behind the tree, a shadow lay on the ground. With Sun Yan's keen eyesight, he could tell it was a person, lying prone and severely injured, possibly dead.

However, Sun Yan didn't rush to help. Instead, he收敛全身气息，静静观察着。

白狱星危机四伏，红色警戒区的异兽种类繁多，其中不乏极为狡诈的怪兽。其中有一种异兽名为变色虫，这是一种软体异兽，能够变幻出各种伪装，以此来接近猎物，在对方失去防备时，一击必杀。

刚进红色警戒区的时候，孙言就曾遇到过类似的情况，看到一个重伤倒地的伤员，他不由分说的上去救治。那个伤员就是变色虫伪装而成，孙言因此差点被击杀，至今想起都心有余悸。

孙言默默观察着，六识全开，分辨着不远处这名伤员的真伪，片刻后，他从树后窜出，快步奔了过去。

来到近前，孙言才看清这人的模样，这是一个金色短发的少年，满脸血污，胸口和后背衣物尽碎，血肉模糊，已是奄奄一息。

检查这个少年的伤势，孙言不由眉头紧皱，低声咒骂道：“这小子不过是二级武者，就敢跑到红色警戒区来，真是不知死字怎么写。现在倒好，还真的离死不远了。”

这人体内的元力损耗一空，孙言大概判断出，这个少年是一名二级武者，前胸和后背同时受到至阳和至阴的力量袭击，几乎是重伤不治的状态。

打开背包，孙言立刻进行急救，同时，将数支修复液、营养液一股脑灌进少年嘴里，又将少年抱起，塞进星际旅行睡囊内。

做完这一切，孙言缓缓坐在一旁，默默计算着时间。

修复液和营养液的生效时间很快，如果救治有效，伤员在5分钟内，便会显出一丝好转的迹象。

时间一分一秒的流逝，15分钟后，这名金发少年已完全没有呼吸，只有胸口尚存一丝温暖。

见此情景，孙言不由叹了口气，喃喃自语：“小子，能做的紧急处理和救治，哥哥我全都做了。你小子挺不过来，也不要怪别人。”

站起身，元力灌注右手，孙言一掌拍出，掌风迸射，旁边坚硬的地面猛地炸开，露出一个2米长宽的浅坑。

从两个月前，约翰和贝尔身死开始，孙言这段时间经常遇到佣兵们死亡的事情，虽说已是习以为常，也明白星际探险的残酷，但是，他还是希望这些死者能入土为安。

弯下腰，刚准备抱起金发少年，孙言身体猛然一滞，抬头望去，目光投向不远处，紧跟着，他脸色一愣，露出古怪之色。

不远处的树林中，一个小小的黑影飞窜而来，奔至近前，孙言才发觉这黑影竟是一只兔子。

这只兔子毛色雪白，竖着两个长耳朵，额头有一小簇红色卷毛，煞是可爱。

令人诧异的是，这只兔子嘴里衔着一个木杯，里面盛着半杯水，也不知道是从那里寻到的水源。

这只兔子看到孙言的动作，立时飞扑过来，用两只毛茸茸的前脚，死命拽住孙言的裤脚，一双红眼睛愤怒的瞪视着他。

孙言吓了一跳，旋即明白过来，本能叫道：“喂，你是这小子的宠物么？你这小兔子可别冤枉好人，你主人已经挂掉了，我是让他入土为安。”

可当“挂掉了”三个字刚说出口，这只兔子两只红眼睛更加红了，两行泪水滑落，它将那盛水的木杯轻轻放在地上，随后，将头埋在地上，小屁股撅着，呜咽的痛哭起来。

这一番变故，让孙言瞧得目瞪口呆，“靠!虽说生物都在不断进化，但是，这么通人性的兔子，还会失声痛哭，也未免太牛叉了吧。”

见这只兔子一哭起来，竟没完没了，孙言顿时一个头两个大，这兔子简直比女人还能哭啊。

坐下来，孙言捏了捏兔子的脖子，轻声道：“喂，小兔兔。你主人挂掉也没什么，以后就跟着哥哥我，包你吃香的喝辣的。现在别哭了，咱们把这小子安葬了吧。”
