Chapter 104: Chapter 89 Mysterious Divine Statue_4

At that moment, Ning Yuchan was becoming more fierce as the battle waged on, single-handedly fighting against two Star Condensing Realm protectors, steadily forcing them into retreat. Yet, to completely obliterate them and claim victory, she still needed a bit more time.

Xu Jin briefly searched the corpse, wanting to help, but he didn’t dare approach.

His current Star Arrow, along with Thunder Snake and Earth Storm, had an effective combat range of just over seven feet, not exceeding eight feet.

Getting that close was a death wish.

But if he really wanted to help, there were other ways.

After a quick search of the corpse, Xu Jin gathered three Star Weapons.

It had to be said, these believers of the Baidou Divine Sect were really poor!

Out of six Star Casting Realm members, only one had a Star Weapon.

"Teacher, I’m here to help you!" Xu Jin suddenly bellowed.

The two Star Condensing Realm protectors were stunned.

They also glanced over the battlefield, and in an instant, they cursed in shock.

Everyone was gone.

Two Star Refining Realm members, six from the Star Casting Realm, and ten from the Dining Dawn Realm, all set out to attack a youngster at the Fifth Layer of the Dining Dawn Realm, and yet they all vanished.

What kind of monstrous battle was this?

Or was there a hidden expert lying in wait, striking from the shadows?

The latter possibility was highly likely.

In a flash, they were on edge, their focus slightly divided.

Ning Yuchan keenly seized this moment of their distraction.

After several consecutive strikes with the Starlight Iron Hammer, she suddenly erupted like a porcupine, her body exploding with hundreds of Starlight Longswords. Then, she transformed herself into a Blade Wheel and spun towards them.

Blood flew into the air.

The first Star Condensing Realm protector she hit had an arm sheared off completely, and the other protector hastily moved to assist.

Suddenly, Xu Jin forcefully activated the Rapid Electric Star Pattern, dashing to a spot about ten meters to the side. Channeling Star Power into it, he launched a First Tier Star Weapon longsword as a hidden weapon.

However, the Star Condensing Realm protector merely cast a chilling glance at Xu Jin, completely ignoring the Star Weapon thrown his way.

The Star Weapon Xu Jin threw fell to the ground half a meter behind him, as if it had hit an invisible wall.

"Useless?"

"See my Vortex Blade Emblem!" In a flash, Xu Jin flicked his wrist.

Fake!

The throw was from over ten meters away, where the power would be weak, a waste.

Xu Jin would never waste it like that.

But the Star Condensing Realm protector was truly distracted by it.

The reason was simple: the previous Vortex Blade Emblem thrown by Xu Jin was frighteningly powerful, and its force was definitely capable of injuring him.

Startled by Xu Jin’s feint, the protector’s focus was split for an instant, slowing his movement by a fraction.

This split-second delay in his rescue attempt sealed the fate of the other Star Condensing Realm protector.

Under the relentless assault of Ning Yuchan’s transformed Blade Wheel, he was sliced into pieces on the spot.

The sole surviving protector from the Star Condensing Realm was left standing in shock.

Just now, when the two of them joined forces, they could barely hold off the enemy.

Now there was only him left, and he definitely could not withstand the onslaught.

It wouldn’t be long before he would be killed.

However, the distress signal for reinforcements had already been sent, so why hadn’t the Star Officer arrived yet with backup?

But if he fled, he would surely die even faster.

At this moment, he was thoroughly infuriated with Xu Jin. If it weren’t for this youngster causing a distraction, the situation wouldn’t be as dire.

On the eastern slope of Thousand Leaf Island, there stood a divine statue over five meters tall with blurred facial features looming over the hillside. Below the statue, a man dressed in a Magic Crown Taoist Robe was sitting cross-legged, surrounded by two thousand women dressed in gray-white robes, kneeling in all directions around the statue, each holding a small carving and muttering under their breaths.

They were incessantly repeating a prayer, over and over again, even as their lips cracked, their kneeling legs went numb, and insects bit at them, they kept on without taking a break.

Several hundred meters behind these women, there stood one hundred tall poles. On more than sixty of these poles hung the corpse of a woman, and carrion-eating vultures circled overhead, snatching at the decaying flesh, causing swarms of black insects to scatter with each strike.

And as the two thousand women continued to kneel and recite the prayers, wisp after wisp of starlight, invisible to the naked eye, converged upon the massive divine statue from the sky, making the statue emanate a fierce starlight.

But strangely enough, the starlight emitted by the statue was condensed within a mere one-foot radius around it.

But not entirely so.

For there was a stream of starlight, which at this moment was cascading down like a waterfall into the body of the man in the Magic Crown Taoist Robe beneath the statue.

At the same time, over twenty people were sitting scattered around the statue.

Above the heads of each one, a sliver of starlight was falling and permeating into their bodies, though these strands of starlight were all very thin. The aura emitted by these people was mostly in the Dining Dawn Realm or Star Casting Realm.

There were only four others, above each of whom loomed a torrent of starlight as thick as a child’s arm.

One person was emanating the aura of the Star Condensing Realm, and the other three all emitted the aura of the Star Refining Realm.

Among them, one individual, whose hair and brows were already white, appeared to have lived past his sixtieth year, but at this time, he was still cultivating, and while exuding the aura of the Star Refining Realm, his aura was incessantly climbing.

If Xu Jin had been present at this moment, he would have noticed something.

Because this elderly man, who had lived past his sixtieth year, bore several resemblances to Zhao Weiqing, the head of the Zhao Mansion whom he had killed.

This person cultivating under the statue was none other than Zhao Bo, the richest and most charitable man in Jinshan County City.

And just at this moment, Gu Jianfei, the Star Officer of the Baidou Divine Sect, sitting closest to the statue in a Magic Crown Taoist Robe, suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze bursting with starlight and seething with anger.

"A bunch of trash!"

Although he had seen the distress signal earlier, he did not care because he had sent over several times the necessary forces there before, but he did not anticipate that they still couldn’t deal with the two intruders, forcing him to interrupt his cultivation to resolve the issue.

Gu Jianfei, who was in the midst of a crucial cultivation moment, had the urge to kill.

Their method of cultivation in the Baidou Divine Sect required a lot of time to restart if interrupted just once.

But now, there was no choice.

"Stop!"

As Gu Jianfei’s command to stop rang out, the two thousand women kneeling and praying as if pardoned, collapsed onto the ground, some massaging their legs, others drinking water.

As the two thousand women ceased their prayers, the vast starlight upon the godly statue began to recede, all the outgoing streams of starlight came to a halt.

All those who were cultivating with the aid of the statue stopped their cultivation as well.

The Star Officer of the Baidou Divine Sect, Gu Jianfei, suddenly shouted, "Long Tao, follow me to kill the enemy!"

"Zhao Bo, the three of you protect the divine statue, look after the Star Slaves, and make sure not to fail!"

"We will obey Star Officer’s orders!" the three, including Zhao Bo, replied in unison.

In an instant, Gu Jianfei burst into the sky, the starlight under his feet congealing into a sword shape, like a Sword Immortal, stepping onto the sword and flying directly towards Ning Yuchan’s location.

At the very same moment, the Star Condensing Realm protector Long Tao, who had just ceased his cultivation, burst with starlight under his feet and rose into the sky, quickly following Gu Jianfei in pursuit to join the battle.
