Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1066: Chapter 426: Rare Commodity and Entering the Palace_2

One-on-one, he was not afraid of the Seventh Tier of the Sumeru Palace, even if the Star Skill of the Sumeru Palace was famous for its eerie unpredictability.

But one-on-two, he had no confidence at all; if anything went wrong, he would be left behind too.

"Don’t push yourself. If you can’t get in, just give up. Survival comes first." Before stepping through the gates of the Seven Killings Palace, Marquis Luoshui, Song Shoujie, sent a telepathic message to Xu Jin.

Listening to this, Xu Jin felt somewhat amused but frustrated.

In the end, he had become the one to be abandoned!

In the next moment, Xu Jin stopped evading, landing instantly, and began his counterattack.

With one step, the Earth Elemental Magnet.

Falling Star, Fury Spear, both executed simultaneously.

Caught off guard, Qiao Shen and Liu Ju simultaneously fell, and at the same time, Qiao Shen was locked down by Xu Jin’s Falling Star Skill and Fury Spear.

It seemed imminent that they would be blasted.

This formidable force, if hit, even if not killed, would result in serious injury.

In an instant, a vast spatial fluctuation rose.

Space Cutting.

The hill-sized Falling Star that Xu Jin blasted down at high speed was instantly sliced into dozens of pieces, losing all its power!

At the same time, Ning Yuchan angrily shouted and charged at Liu Ju like a whirlwind.

The heavy hammer forced Liu Ju to continuously retreat.

Meanwhile, the remaining elites of Dachen and the Sumeru Palace clashed into a skirmish without any need for command.

The advantage Xu Jin had intervened multiple times before was now evident.

The six-tier elites surviving from Dachen outnumbered those of the Sumeru Palace by one.

In a battle between the Fifth and Sixth Tiers, with Dachen slightly at an advantage, the disciples from the Sumeru Palace had no chance to intervene in the fight.

Meanwhile, Ning Yuchan and Liu Ju were in an intense battle at a fever pitch.

As for Xu Jin, he was struggling a bit against the full force attack of two Seventh Tier elites.

But dealing with one wasn’t as difficult.

In a brief ten breaths, they had already exchanged hundreds of moves, allowing Xu Jin to get a general feel for the Sumeru Palace’s bizarre Star Skill!

In the next moment, Xu Jin once again unleashed the Earth Elemental Magnet, and Falling Star and Fury Spear simultaneously blasted towards Qiao Shen.

Simultaneously, one lightning bolt after another began to appear in Xu Jin’s palm.

The moment Qiao Shen quickly used Space Cutting to break Xu Jin’s Earth Series Star Skill attack, a rumbling thunder suddenly sounded!

The Five Elements Divine Thunder, merging into a multicolored brilliance, instantly blasted down upon Qiao Shen.

Fast and fierce!

Boom!

The space barrier Qiao Shen had set up was directly shattered by the terrifying light of the Five Elements Divine Thunder, while at the same time, the brilliance of the top-grade Seven-Star Spiritual Armor on Qiao Shen’s body shone to the extreme!

This was the life-saving treasure bestowed upon him by his master, the Sumeru Palace Master.

But under the bombardment of the Five Elements Divine Thunder, the brilliance of this Seven-Star Spiritual Armor was rapidly dimming.

With the buffer of the Seven-Star Spiritual Armor, Qiao Shen finally had the opportunity to use the Sumeru Palace’s life-saving secret technique—the Small Movement Skill!

In the next instant, the Seven-Star Spiritual Armor, which seemed on the verge of shattering under the Five Elements Divine Thunder’s bombardment, disappeared along with Qiao Shen, appearing hundreds of meters away.

But this position was in front of the gates of the Seven Killings Palace.

Clearly, Qiao Shen had learned from the previous battle experience with Ju Xuan.

Afraid that a gap would allow Xu Jin to escape into the Seven Killings Palace, they would be left with nothing.

This trip to the Seven Killings Secret Realm would be a complete failure!

Furthermore, they’d lose the chance to contend for the Divine Dao True Intent.

At that time, the wrath of his master would not be something they could bear!

But almost at the moment Qiao Shen used the Small Movement Skill to save his life, a cold smile already appeared on Xu Jin’s face.

Before Qiao Shen appeared, his Mingji Star Pattern had already sensed the unusual spatial fluctuation at that location.

Xu Jin determined that the place of unusual spatial fluctuation was where Seventh Tier Qiao Shen would appear.

The sharp whistling sound of cutting through the air rose, and the Yellow Dragon Sword was already in Xu Jin’s hand!

Fivefold Flowing Flashes.

Swoosh!

At the moment when the sound wave exploded, the just-appeared Qiao Shen suddenly found that his cherished top-grade Seven-Star Spiritual Armor was suddenly torn to pieces.

He himself turned into Starlight and disappeared.

Stars appeared before his eyes.

The familiar starlight prompt.

To continue the battle, or to leave!

At this point, Qiao Shen realized he had been blasted to death!

Instinctively, Qiao Shen wanted to choose to continue fighting, but suddenly hesitated.

Twice!

He had only comprehended the Seven Killings Dragon Escape Pillar to the Second Layer. He was still a bit short of the Third Layer, so he only had two opportunities to cheat death.

Having just used one, this was the second time.

Once this second time was used, if he were to die again, he would truly die!

If he went back, would he die again?

Yes!

Qiao Shen immediately concluded.

Previously, he had the top-grade Seven-Star Spiritual Armor for protection, but he was killed by Dachen’s Heavenly Saint Qi.

Now that the top-grade Seven-Star Spiritual Armor was shattered, the chances of dying in battle were even greater.

Thinking about the shattered Seven-Star Spiritual Armor, Qiao Shen felt a pang of agony!

In an instant, a hundred thoughts ran through Qiao Shen’s mind.

However, Qiao Shen ultimately chose to go back and continue the fight!

Although Qiao Shen understood that returning to the fight was extremely risky, if he didn’t, when his master learned in the future that he didn’t return out of fear of death and thus missed the chance to obtain the Divine Dao True Intent, his master would surely be extremely disappointed.

At that point, his life would be worse than death.

He might as well take the risk and return now!

In the next moment, a point of starlight barely appeared, and Qiao Shen chose to resurrect using his death substitute.

On the other side, just after Xu Jin killed Qiao Shen, and before Xu Jin could turn to rejoin the battle, he saw that Liu Ju, at the Early Period of the Seventh Tier, had just shredded the Fifth Tier Eighth Layer Ning Yuchan into starlight.
