Chapter 257: Chapter 134: The Night of Executing the Prince (10,000 Updates Seeking Monthly Pass)_3

In the valley, the Clan Leader of the Fire Pine Tribe, Chisong, who was pursuing Xu Jin, stared dumbfounded at the signal smoke billowing into the sky from behind.

"The tribe’s under attack!

This is bad, that ’Genius’ has come back to slaughter our tribe again!

Quick, we need to reinforce!"

With an angry shout, Chisong turned and charged back.

Other Clan Leaders, including Chi Dian, had no choice but to follow.

But the concern was already evident on their faces.

They had been in high-speed pursuit for 30 minutes, greatly depleting their Star Power. If they returned at high speed, how much Star Power would they have left?

And how much combat power?

With that, their thoughts were varied.

On the way back to the Fire Pine Tribe, some Clan Leaders took the opportunity to recuperate their Star Power, others slowed down to conserve it, but the Clan Leader of the Fire Pine Tribe, Chisong, raced forward heedless of the drain on his resources.

When they set out in pursuit, time seemed to fly by, but on the return, Chisong felt that the 15 minutes dragged on endlessly.

By the time he returned to the tribe, panting heavily, he was stunned.

Corpses were strewn everywhere!

The elite warriors who had been left behind—at the Sixth Layer, Fifth Layer, and Fourth Layer of the Star Refining Realm—were all dead.

There were also a great number of bodies from their Fire Pine Tribe warriors.

"How could this have happened!"

"How could this be, I was only away for an hour and a half...."

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a piercing sound of tearing air filled the valley, and Chisong saw a Star Arrow flying straight at him. Without hesitation, he threw a punch to shatter the Star Arrow.

But it was his right arm that shattered instead!

His entire fist and right arm were blown to pieces by that one Star Arrow.

"How can there be a Star Arrow this powerful?"

As Chisong was sent flying backward from the blow, gravely injured, this thought flashed through his mind. But immediately after, a surge of Star Radiance crashed into his chest, shattering him into pieces in an instant.

Xu Jin’s figure emerged, having finally killed a warrior at the Seventh Layer of the Star Refining Realm and annihilating the Fire Pine Tribe’s elites.

Overall, he had expended thirteen strands of Starlight—it was worth it.

Xu Jin looked back, knowing in two to three minutes, those three warriors at the Seventh and Eighth Layer of Star Refining Realm, including Chi Dian, would arrive.

Was it time to stand and fight head-on?

Or?

After only a moment’s consideration, Xu Jin made his decision—opportunities were hard to come by!

Today, he had managed to draw these experts in the late period of the Star Refining Realm out for so long, forcing them into a nearly 30-minute chase without concern for their Star Power consumption. Their Star Power must be seriously depleted.

At this moment, they would be at their weakest.

If he let this chance slip by, with today’s victories already his, trying to isolate them or deplete their strength again would become extraordinarily difficult!

He had to finish this in one fell swoop.

It was just a matter of expending some Starlight from the Candou Platform.

That resource, Xu Jin had been stockpiling quite a bit of it lately, and the Star Jade replenished a fair amount in the Fire Radiant Star Domain.

If not now, then when?

The next instant, Xu Jin drew six strands of Starlight from the Candou Platform into his body, instantly restoring his Star Power to its peak condition.

Then, he vanished into the shadow of a house not far from Chisong’s body, hiding away to steady his breathing, recover his physical strength, and wait silently.

Two minutes later, Chi Dian and the other four almost concurrently returned to the Chisong Tribe, with a distance of no more than fifty meters separating them.

When they saw the bodies littering the ground, they were astonished.

Upon seeing Chisong’s body, Chi Dian and the others were clearly frightened.

"How could this have happened!"

"How could this have happened!" someone cried out in anguish.

"Lord Chi Dian, we must contact the Prince immediately and request reinforcements; we need reinforcements!" Red Armor urged nervously.

Chi Dian, however, seemed utterly devastated.

Reinforcements?

There indeed were many in the Royal Court at the Star Refining Realm, but most were below the Sixth Layer.

The Royal Court had two more at the Sixth Layer and one at the Seventh Layer—how could they possibly dispatch reinforcements unless they sent Prince Chi Meng or, even to say, the Prince himself came!

But now, what point was there?

It was all meaningless!

A single genius from Dachen had wreaked havoc in their Fire Radiant Star Domain, slaughtering everyone, even wiping out the elite Star Refiners of four tribes.

When the Star Gate opened three months later, and Heavenly Soldiers from Dachen came through, what could they possibly use to defend?

It was a mistake!

Suddenly, Chi Dian felt that the Clan Leader might have made a mistake.

By doing so, they weren’t finding a way to live but dooming the Red Scale Clan!

"No, I must return to the Fire Element Tribe! I have a feeling that this villain’s next target might be our only remaining Fire Element Tribe." Clan Leader Chi Yuan from the Fire Element Tribe panicked.

"No!"

Chi Dian refused, "If you return like this, you’re likely to be taken down one by one by that ’Genius.’ We must ask the Prince for instructions on the ’Genius’s’ location!"

Chi Dian took out the Red Scale Heart Armor he carried with him, then bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood onto it before waiting with great respect for the response from the Red Scale Heart.

In that instant, however, Chi Dian suddenly sensed an astonishing surge of Star Power.

Boom!

A sound of Thunder Burst echoed, and as Chi Dian instinctively looked up, a thunderbolt thick as a child’s arm, invincibly breaking through everything, shattered his Body Protective Starlight and his armor, directly turning him into a piece of charred corpse.

A Thunder Snake, fueled by fifty percent of Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace’s Star Power, was not something Chi Dian could defend against unwittingly.

He was killed in an instant.

"He’s here!"

"There, kill him!"

Chi Yuan, Red Armor, and Chi Li surrounded the area in a rage.

But Xu Jin slipped away swiftly. After striking down Chi Dian with a Thunder Snake, he vanished in a flash.

After a brief, intense chase, just five miles out, the remaining three Clan Leaders stopped in their tracks, each with an expression of utter despair.
