Chapter 1065: Chapter 426: Rare Commodity and Entering the Palace
"Where is my Seven Kill Token?"
The astonished cry of Qiao Shen, the Seventh Tier cultivator from Sumeru Palace, received no answer. However, the gazes of the other Seventh Tier cultivators towards the gate of Seven Killings Palace provided Qiao Shen with an answer.
In the back, Xu Jin was somewhat speechless.
In this battle, although the nine Seventh Tier cultivators of the Human Clan were united and didn’t reach the level of risking their lives, they gave it their all.
But their command was still insufficient.
Everyone acted according to the strategy discussed earlier; even Marquis Luoshui, Song Shoujie, the apparent initiator, couldn’t truly command in real-time.
If Song Shoujie could direct them all in real-time, when Ju Xuan counter-attacked Qiao Shen, sending just one Seventh Tier to guard the Seven Killings Palace gate would have allowed them to kill Ju Xuan a third, or even fourth time.
And the cost? At most, one more Seventh Tier would use a substitute death opportunity.
Unfortunately, these nine Seventh Tier cultivators of the present world Human Clan were all the elite of the cultivators from various factions.
Xu Jin estimated that to completely win their hearts and minds for command, a regular Eighth Tier wouldn’t suffice; it would require the top Eighth Tier from each major faction.
But putting that aside.
They had already killed Ju Xuan twice, and Ju Xuan’s substitute death opportunity was still available once.
Moreover, Ju Xuan was certainly severely injured.
In an attempt to absolutely kill Qiao Shen, he even self-destructed a Star Tower layer, lowering his cultivation level, suffering significant injuries, consuming a lot, and damaging his Primordial Spirit.
Xu Jin had long confirmed one thing: the substitute death opportunity in the Seven Killings Secret Realm is merely a substitute death, not a perfect resurrection.
It only occurs at the instant the target is killed, substituting death once.
However, the injuries and all the consumption suffered before the substitute death will all be inherited and won’t disappear.
From everyone’s expressions, Qiao Shen obtained an answer.
Ju Xuan snatched his Seven Kill Token and successfully dashed into the Seven Killings Palace.
The fury in Qiao Wu’s heart was beyond description.
He had already died once, yet this group in front of him couldn’t stop Ju Xuan.
But more critical than anger was this: Sumeru Palace was without a Seven Kill Token now!
Earlier, Song Shoujie had given only one Seven Kill Token, and now it was lost.
Not obtaining the Seven Kills True Monarch legacy was a small matter; failing to secure the Divine Dao True Intent was indeed a major issue.
Everything could collapse!
Qiao Wu and Liu Ju from Sumeru Palace instantly realized this.
Their gazes swiftly swept towards the two other Seven Kill Token holders.
Dong Zhao and Xu Jin!
In virtually the instant their eyes swept across, everyone present had a realization.
Whether it was Xu Jin, Dong Zhao, Marquis Luoshui, Song Shoujie, or other Seventh Tier cultivators!
"Since Ju Xuan has already rushed into the Seven Killings Palace, our mission is complete, and we haven’t violated the Great Dao Oath. We must immediately enter the Seven Killings Palace to prevent Ju Xuan from gaining benefits."
Hou Ziang, the Seventh Tier expert from Wood Spirit Palace, finished speaking. He clasped his hands to the group before swiftly transforming into a stream of light, clutching his Seven Kill Token, and dashed towards the gate of Seven Killings Palace.
In an instant, he disappeared inside the gate of Seven Killings Palace.
At the same time, experts from Tianyang Star Hall, Du Wei, Ye Feng from Cangming Star Hall, Abatai from Doom-suppressing Star Palace, and Yuxi, four Fourth Tier cultivators, simultaneously rushed to the gate of Seven Killings Palace, holding their Seven Kill Tokens.
Within that very moment, in Xu Jin’s mind, Marquis Luoshui, Song Shoujie’s voice echoed.
"Quickly, enter Seven Killings Palace, I’ll cover you!"
Almost simultaneously, Xu Jin and Dong Zhao received the same message from Marquis Luoshui, Song Shoujie. Realizing the danger, Xu Jin and Dong Zhao instantly transformed into streams of light, rushing towards the gate of Seven Killings Palace.
Song Shoujie slightly delayed to cover Dong Zhao and Xu Jin.
And at the same moment, Qiao Shen and Liu Ju from Sumeru Palace, the brotherhood of disciples, merely exchanged a glance and decided!
Snatch!
They must snatch a Seven Kill Token!
Among everyone present, the ones they could easily snatch a Seven Kill Token from were Xu Jin and Dong Zhao from Dachen, one Fifth Tier, the other Sixth Tier.
In an instant, the Star Power surrounding Qiao Shen and Liu Ju fluctuated simultaneously, and an invisible Space Barrier silently appeared on the path Xu Jin and Dong Zhao were charging through.
The space star technique of Sumeru Palace was executed extraordinarily swiftly and appeared with no warning.
This was precisely the fundamental reason these two had been placed on defense earlier.
Unexpectedly, Ju Xuan had rushed past the two of them!
While continuously activating the Mingji Star Pattern, Xu Jin immediately sensed the space barrier, activating the Willow Catkins Star Pattern, twisting his form like bending a willow branch, making a sharp turn to avoid the Space Barrier.
On the contrary, Dong Zhao failed to notice the Space Barrier in front of him earlier. By the time he realized it, it was too late, narrowly avoiding a collision.
Fortunately, Marquis Luoshui, Song Shoujie, had been closely monitoring their movements. At the critical moment, he struck with a fist, shattering the Space Barrier blocking Dong Zhao, then gave him a handy push.
Clutching the Seven Kill Token, Dong Zhao accelerated instantly, sprinting into the gate of Seven Killings Palace and vanishing.
In that precise instant, the tactics of Qiao Shen and Liu Ju from Sumeru Palace shifted once more.
Seeing Dong Zhao rush into the Seven Killings Palace and Song Shoujie about to enter, they immediately exerted all efforts to obstruct Xu Jin.
In a flash, the two laid hand after hand, relying on numerous Space Barriers to block Xu Jin, forcing him to stop a hundred meters from the gate of Seven Killings Palace.
Marquis Luoshui, Song Shoujie, took a glance at the gate behind him, then at the two Seventh Tier cultivators from Sumeru Palace. After a brief judgment, he turned and stepped through the gate of Seven Killings Palace.
