Chapter 260: Chapter 135 Two Pieces (Please Subscribe)_2

In the next instant, Xu Jin stopped a hundred meters away, wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth, and then coldly looked towards Prince Chi Meng, "Another in the Ninth Layer of Star Refining, were you lying in wait for me here?"

Prince Chi Meng, wielding a flaming hammer, also stood a hundred meters away, looking at the somewhat disheveled Xu Jin with a smug smile.

"Is the genius of Dachen just this after all?"

The remaining warriors of the Refining Star Realm from the Red Scale Clan had now gathered around Chi Meng.

There was one in the Fifth Layer, two in the Fourth Layer, and eight in the Early Period.

Without Prince Chi Meng, these people would be as fragile as chickens made of clay in front of Xu Jin, but with Prince Chi Meng, they become quite bothersome.

Within the Lower Star Palace, the Mingji Star Core radiated dazzlingly, and Xu Jin had already gained an understanding of Prince Chi Meng’s strength.

A top-grade Star Core.

Prince Chi Meng must be at the top-grade level of Star Casting.

The fluctuation of his Star Power was more than double that of Chi Mu and Chi Dian, the two Star Refining Eighth Layer fighters Xu Jin had previously slain.

No wonder he could injure Xu Jin just now.

However, Xu Jin was curious, how did Chi Meng manage to hide his presence under the detection of his Mingji Star Pattern and avoid being sensed by it?

"Then let’s try again!"

In the next flicker, Xu Jin burst out with Flying Star Step.

He charged towards Chi Meng and the Star Refining Realm warriors behind him.

Almost simultaneously, Chi Meng, leading those Star Refining Realm warriors, also charged towards Xu Jin.

At that moment, Xu Jin’s full strength burst forth without reservation.

The Star Ring charged with forty percent of his Star Power swung out fiercely.

The eight elites in the Early Period of Star Refining were directly blasted apart, the Fourth Tier Red Scale warriors were heavily injured, and the Fifth Layer Red Scale warrior was sent flying backward three steps with fresh blood spewing from his mouth.

Even Prince Chi Meng was repelled in an instant.

In the blink of an eye, the numerically superior Red Scale Tribe had become a solo struggle for Prince Chi Meng.

At the next moment, Prince Chi Meng charged at Xu Jin, and Xu Jin threw out the Star Rope from his palm, which immediately wrapped around Prince Chi Meng’s flaming hammer.

Kite Ring Strategy!

Prince Chi Meng, also in the Ninth Layer of Star Refining, was formidable in his own right. The moment Xu Jin’s Star Rope wound around, the flaming hammer burst into Flame Light and instantly burned through Xu Jin’s Star Rope.

But Xu Jin had already anticipated this; one after another, his Star Ropes entangled the flaming hammer of Chi Meng, holding him in place.

One Star Arrow after another bombarded Prince Chi Meng, all easily shattered by him.

At the next instant, the Star Arrows that Xu Jin rapidly launched suddenly slowed for a split second, then a terror-inducing Star Arrow burst forth.

Chi Meng, sensing something amiss, had his expression drastically change and he instantly abandoned the freshly formed flaming hammer, manifesting a flaming longsword in one hand, slashing towards the Star Arrow.

The flaming sword instantly shattered; the moment the Star Arrow connected, the Body Protective Starlight broke, and armor surfaced on Chi Meng’s body, blocking Xu Jin’s fatal blow.

In the next instant, Chi Meng was blasted into the air, a long trail of fresh blood spewing from his mouth.

It was at that very moment that the always cross-legged Lord of Red Scale, Chi You, who had been sitting beside the altar, finally showed concern—his face turning extremely unsightly!

He had not expected that even Prince Chi Meng, a powerhouse in the Ninth Layer of Star Refining, could be frustrated!

"So princes are just like this, huh!"

During Xu Jin’s cold laugh, he didn’t rush to press the attack. The previous strike drained the remaining fifty percent of his Star Power from the Central Star Palace, and now it was empty.

Taking advantage of this moment, Xu Jin’s thoughts raced, and he drew six strands of Starlight directly from the Candou Platform, instantly replenishing the Star Power of the Central Star Palace’s Gathering Star Core.

At the same moment, Xu Jin launched forward again, attacking Prince Chi Meng.

But Prince Chi Meng was retreating quickly, actually heading towards the direction of the altar.

And at this instant, the Divine Statue held by Lord Chi You in his arms suddenly radiated a faint light, and the Star Cloud above the altar suddenly churned, dropping a small jade box from within.

Chi You was ecstatic.

He leapt up and secured the jade box in his arms.

At the same moment, Chi Meng shouted loudly, "Father, act now!"

Almost simultaneously, Lord Chi You’s body started to radiate terrifying Starlight.

It appeared that father and son had conspired together, planning to join forces in the worst-case scenario.

Two Star Refining Ninth Layer powers acting together, no matter how much of a genius Dachen’s talent was, he would still be brought down.

And just at this moment, Xu Jin, who was charging forward, shifted direction, his mind sinking into the Star-picking Order, "May I request the aid of the State Preceptor!"

"Ah...!"

Almost at the same time, Lord Chi You, who was surging with Star Power, suddenly clutched his head and let out a piercing scream.

"State Preceptor, spare..."

Bang!

Before he could beg for mercy, Chi You’s head burst open like a watermelon.

Prince Chi Meng, who was looking at his father, was stunned!

He knew about this.

His father Chi You had also mentioned it to him.

He said that his life and death were controlled by the Great Chen Imperial Master, and that was the reason he rebelled.

Even said that if the Great Chen Imperial Master wanted him to die, he would die.

But imagining it and seeing it are two different things.

Watching his own father’s head burst open like a watermelon was too much for Prince Chi Meng.

He was directly shocked.

Originally, he and his father, with the strength of two at the Peak of Star Refining Realm, had thought they would crush the genius of Dachen.

But how could this be...

Boom!

Thunder rumbled!

Prince Chi Meng, lost in thought for just an instant, saw a bolt of Thunder Light strike down from the sky.

The Thunder Light poured down like boiling water, and in an instant, Chi Meng stiffened, and smoke began to rise from his body.

His entire head had already turned to charcoal!

Thunder Snake!

Xu Jin had infused the Thunder Snake with sixty percent of his Central Star Palace’s Star Power.

A strike to the limit!

Instant kill!

Behind him, the remaining three from the Star Refining Realm were stunned and frightened.

Their king and prince, just like that, dead?

Alive one second.

Dead the next.

One who reacted quickly tried to escape.

Xu Jin just used Flying Star Step and killed him instantly.

An hour later, all the warriors of the Star Refining Realm inside the Royal Court were slain by Xu Jin, as well as those at the Peak of Star Casting and in the Late Period of Star Casting from the Red Scale Clan, who were also killed by Xu Jin.

As for the other Red Scale Warriors, those who dared to resist, who dared to draw a blade against Xu Jin, not one was spared!

This was war!

"How are you doing, Xu Jin, are you okay?" the Star-picking Order flashed continuously with Starlight, it was National Master Cheng Yuxiao expressing concern for Xu Jin’s safety, somewhat anxiously.

"State Preceptor, I’m still good, I’ve just slaughtered my way through the Red Scale Royal Court!

They indeed hid their strength. Their prince, Chi Meng, had the combat power of the Peak of the Seventh Layer, stronger than the Eighth Layer. It cost me a little," said Xu Jin, summarizing the situation for State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao and slightly downplaying the enemy’s strength.

After all, he had killed them all.

There was nobody left to testify.

And in such matters, no one delves deeply.

It’s like keeping a reserve!

"Prince Chi Meng, possessing the combat power of the Eighth Layer! This Chi You truly was cunning and calculating! Eight years ago, he offered to increase my tribute by five hundred Fourth Tier Star Jade every year in exchange for two top-grade Star Casting Pills, all for his son," stated State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

"You better hurry and find the Red Scale Hearts on their bodies, and refine them quickly.

Otherwise, in less than half an hour, the Red Scale Heart containing a wisp of Will from the Fire Radiant Star Domain will autonomously seek a new master! And when it chooses on its own, it will a hundred percent pick someone native to the Fire Radiant Star Domain," inquired State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

Following that, Xu Jin recounted the anomaly that had occurred above the altar to the State Preceptor.

"What?"

State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao was quite shocked, "No wonder they dared to rebel; they found external support!"

In the Autumn Examination Secret Realm of Dachen, Cheng Yuxiao’s face was grim, but there was something he did not say.

It might be that the Red Scale Clan had found external support, but it was also possible that external forces had taken the initiative to seek out the Red Scale Clan!

If it was the former, the impact wasn’t too big, but if it was the latter, what was in jeopardy could be the foundation of the whole Dachen!

Quickly, Xu Jin found a Red Scale Heart from the bodies of both Prince Chi Meng and Chi You, matching what the State Preceptor had described.

"Two Red Scale Hearts?"

In the next instant, Xu Jin followed the method taught by the State Preceptor, dripping in his own blood to start refining the two Red Scale Hearts.
