Chapter 1642: Chapter 673: Desperate Strike
This is still Xu Jin’s first full-force deployment of the Star Killing Sword since his breakthrough to the Eighth Tier, but the power feels somewhat unsatisfactory.
Two Nine-Star Spiritual Treasures did not shatter in a single blow!
"Quick, stop him!" In order to save his life, Lu Huang roared this sentence through Divine Soul Transmission.
On the other side, Lu Huang’s subordinate, who was in the late stage of the Ninth Tier, had just repelled the weakened Wang Ji. Upon hearing Lu Huang’s plea, he immediately rushed towards Xu Jin, trying to block him.
But he blocked nothing!
Xu Jin suddenly disappeared from his view!
The next instant, Lu Huang stared, shock overtaking him as Xu Jin suddenly appeared in front of him, and he felt a strange sensation above his head.
He saw a seal appear in the sky.
Boom!
Thunder Light cascaded down instantaneously.
Lu Huang was aghast, attempting to flee rapidly, but his soaring form suddenly halted as if it hit an invisible wall, trapping him in place.
The terrifying Five-Colored Heavenly Thunder descended like heavenly punishment!
The top-grade Nine-Star Spirit Armor on Lu Huang’s body only lasted a breath before shattering into countless fragments.
Seeing Lu Huang about to be blasted into nothingness.
A golden token suddenly emerged in front of Lu Huang, its brilliance abruptly expanded, directly shielding him from the thunder. The space oscillated slightly, attempting to carry Lu Huang away.
But the next instant, Lu Huang’s eyes widened fiercely.
The Life Replacement Token failed to take him away?
In a flash, cold sweat seeped from Lu Huang’s back!
Breaking Limit?
Only Eighth Tier?
Where on earth did this monster come from!
Almost simultaneously, over a certain hall in the Dongxuan Star Domain, a massive seal hung above, suspending a giant golden order.
Suddenly, the golden order trembled slightly.
True Monarch Tianzhang, who was sitting cross-legged, suddenly opened his eyes, lightly waved his whisk, and a strand of Starlight instantly infused into the golden order.
Then he began to murmur, "A cultivator breaking limits again?
This tier of selection is quite excellent; there are already three breaking limit cultivators!"
At the same time, Lu Huang, trapped in the Thunder Prison by Xu Jin, watched as the Starlight protecting his Life Replacement Token was about to be shattered by the terrifying Thunder Light. In an instant of terror, the Life Replacement Token’s golden light abruptly expanded.
In a flash, it broke Xu Jin’s Thunder Prison Space, taking Lu Huang away, disappearing without a trace!
"Too-grandchild!"
The late-stage Ninth Tier expert roared in fury, but in just an instant, his form was intercepted by sword light.
The Star Killing Sword’s light sliced down, directly shattering the Star Light and Body Protective Starlight of this late-stage Ninth Tier expert, along with his Eight-Star Spirit Armor.
The Nine Heavens Thunder God Seal flickered, Thunder Light cascading down again.
The golden light of the Life Replacement Token rose once more.
Xu Jin frowned!
This Life Replacement Token is somewhat annoying, not pleasing to kill!
The ensuing battle had no suspense.
The two other Ninth Tier cultivators from Bixuan True Monarch Mansion attempted to escape, but were merely blocked by Xu Jin’s Thunder Light and were slain by Zhu Shizhen and the others.
One escaped with the Life Replacement Token, the other died on the spot!
The next instant, Zhu Shizhen and the others swiftly turned, looking at Xu Jin, their eyes more shocked than at first sight.
Top-grade Nine-Star Spiritual Treasures!
Normally, not even an all-out strike from a late-stage Ninth Tier expert could shatter such a thing.
Yet Xu Jin shattered them.
This means the one before them likely possesses the combat power of a Little Star Monarch!
Only now did the three realize the kind of existence they encountered.
"Gu Tide is here! Follow me to slay them!"
With just a light shout, Xu Jin vanished on the spot, appearing instantly behind the Gu Tide. As Pei Qiu, who was driving the Gu Beast Tide, was struck with fear, sword light came straight at him.
With one sword, it shattered him into pieces!
Thunder Light sounded, his Primordial Spirit was already blasted into cyan smoke.
This one’s Life Replacement Token was exhausted.
When Zhu Shizhen and the others arrived, they found not only Pei Qiu gone, but the Ninth Tier Gu Beasts within the Gu Beast Tide were also dealt with by Xu Jin.
Collaboratively, within less than ten breaths, this wave of beast tide was resolved.
"Exhilarating!"
"Throughout these days of selection, there hasn’t been a day as exhilarating as today!" Zhu Shizhen shouted excitedly!
Too satisfying!
Today, following Xu Jin, it was a thrilling kill.
Compared to today, the days we’ve been living through feel suffocating and unbearable!
Meanwhile, Xu Jin was inspecting Pei Qiu’s bamboo flute, "Do you recognize this object? Do you know how to use it?" Xu Jin asked.
As he asked, Xu Jin also drew upon the Sumeru Space.
Staring at the dark green bamboo flute, Zhu Shizhen suddenly said, "Benefactor, may I have a look?"
A moment later, Zhu Shizhen suddenly sighed, "I know why the Lu Family can command the Gu Beasts!
A hundred years ago, during a selection in our Dongxuan Star Realm, the peerless genius Jian Yi slew the Gu Mother of the Gu Raising Domain. He had someone make an instrument out of the Gu Mother’s dragon bone, which can control and influence the Gu Beasts.
After being discovered by the Star Realm, there was a great upheaval, and everything was retrieved.
It was said that everything was successfully retrieved.
I never expected any leftovers!
Indeed, during that retrieval mission a hundred years ago, the Lu Family was also involved!"
After speaking, Zhu Shizhen continued, "Benefactor, why not let our Yutang Royal Mansion handle this bamboo flute. We’ll submit it for you!
Otherwise, you might face endless troubles!
The function of this Gu Mother Dragon Bone Flute is too crucial, and the Bixuan Royal Mansion will definitely not let this go easily!
Though you are strong, on the other side, the Bixuan Royal Mansion has the presence of a Star Lord and a True Monarch."
Xu Jin’s heart stirred upon hearing this; these words indeed made sense.
This Gu Mother Dragon Bone Flute was useless to him, so he easily handed it over to Zhu Shizhen.
Though he was strong now, he needed to grow quickly. If a Star Lord or a True Monarch marked him, it would be a huge problem.
Moreover, Zhu Shizhen’s words reminded Xu Jin of something, making him pensive.
At the same time, Zhu Shizhen spoke again, "Benefactor, since I have survived the crisis, whatever you need me to do, feel free to ask. I will give my utmost effort to accomplish it!"
Xu Jin did not respond but pulled out Pei Qiu’s Sumeru Space. After a quick glance, he tossed it into the Sumeru Space.
Penniless!
Even poorer than the Eighth Tier in Kunling Domain.
At the same instant, Xu Jin activated the Mingji Star Pattern, focusing his mind for a detailed sensing.
Two thousand miles away, the recently escaped Crown Grandson Lu Huang had just reunited with his trusted aide, the general Liu He, who also escaped a calamity using a Life Replacement Token.
His expression was incredibly somber.
Somber with a hint of anger.
"I’ll curse the Zhu Family’s ancestors for eight generations. Damn, where did they find such a monster here?"
"Crown Grandson, we still have a chance!
Having lost the Life Replacement Token, we can just collect a hundred Ninth Tier Gu Crystals. Previously, we gathered over sixty. With two more days of effort, you’ll surely gain the identity of a Marquis candidate!" Liu He said.
"Now that’s our only option! Damn, Zhu Shizhen gets away cheap!" Lu Huang cursed.
"Crown Grandson, don’t be angry. The Yutang Royal Mansion is now a candle in the wind, and its annexation is a matter of time, so there’s no rush!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Huang nodded helplessly. He intended to make merit and thoroughly secure his position as Crown Grandson!
But he suffered a major loss instead.
Now, he must concentrate on acquiring the candidacy of a Marquis, only then can his position as Crown Grandson be steady.
"Remember, after the selection, go all out to find that Eighth Tier kid! I refuse to believe he appeared from a crack in the stone, and that he doesn’t have kin!
How dare he harm me; my dignified Bixuan Royal Mansion can’t handle him!" Lu Huang said hatefully.
"Rest assured, Crown Grandson, after the selection, there will be results within three days!"
...
On the other hand, after overhearing all this through the Mingji Star Pattern, Xu Jin’s expression suddenly became grim.
This caused Zhu Shizhen and his companions to feel uneasy, thinking they had done something wrong!
"The three of you stay here for a while," Xu Jin suddenly said.
Zhu Shizhen nodded, surprised, and was about to ask when spatial fluctuations arose, and Xu Jin disappeared on the spot!
In the distance, as Liu He was discussing with Crown Grandson Lu Huang, terror suddenly appeared in his eyes.
"Crown Grandson, beware!"
As Lu Huang turned, an illusory starlight sword already blasted toward him.
His body was instantly torn to pieces!
At the terrifying moment when Lu Huang’s Daoist Embryo emerged, thunder light poured down onto it.
"No, this is the Crown Grandson of Bixuan True Monarch Mansion, you can’t..."
The sword light cut through, and Liu He, at the Ninth Tier’s Middle Period, was instantly cut into pieces, his voice abruptly stopped.
Just one thunder light erased more than half of Lu Huang’s Daoist Embryo Cultivation Level.
"No, you can’t....."
Bang!
Lightning struck like a swift explosion, and Lu Huang’s Daoist Embryo turned to smoke and disappeared.
At the same instant, Liu He’s Primordial Spirit, fleeing a thousand meters away, also turned into smoke amidst the thunder light!
