Chapter 371: Chapter 169: Captive (Please Subscribe)_2

Security had increased significantly again.

Speed represented safety.

Therefore, Xu Jin had chosen three Protection Star Patterns: Mid-tier Thunder Wing, Initial Tier Thunder Origin, and Initial Tier Fire Origin.

Purple Thunder Bomb was a Star Skill Xu Jin had never seen before, its power was immense, almost comparable to Xu Jin’s Flame Burst Skill.

But it was not as practical as the Initial Tier Thunder Origin.

Especially the Thunder Burst Step, safety first.

At this moment, Xu Jin’s urgency to upgrade the Candou Platform was unmatched.

If he could upgrade the Candou Platform to the Fourth Tier, regardless of whether there were new features or not, representing four Star Cores was inevitable.

By then, he could add the Initial Tier Fire Origin.

Not to mention anything else, it would add another one-tenth of power to his Fire Series Star Skills.

If conditions permitted, Xu Jin even wanted to upgrade to the Fifth Tier.

Because if he upgraded to the Fifth Tier and could obtain one or two Thunder Spirit Star Cores, he could also enhance the power of his Thunder Star Skills.

Upon meeting Xu Jin again, having recovered from fatigue and completely out of the desperate situation from yesterday, Ji Hongli was noticeably more reserved.

She didn’t cling to him like an octopus as before.

Suddenly, Xu Jin realized he had remembered wrong.

The most frequent times Ji Hongli had pounced on him like an octopus were in his previous dreams.

Repeated dreams of the same kind really could affect reality!

Suddenly, Xu Jin felt a chill.

But then again, Xu Jin quite liked that feeling.

"Big Senior Brother, I’m glad you’re safe and back; if you hadn’t come, I was about to go looking for you." Ji Hongli hugged Xu Jin’s arm closely, smiling very sweetly.

Ji Hongli’s skin was very white, her features naturally sweet. Her sweet smile made Xu Jin unable to help but reveal a smile too—it was infectious.

A few minutes later, Xu Jin and Ji Hongli left, heading quickly toward the southwest.

Their goal—to meet up with Ying Ge and his group of five.

During this half-day, Ying Ge and the others had been continually moving towards Xu Jin and Ji Hongli’s location as per his instructions.

Originally, others were apathetic towards Xu Jin.

But the Red Scale Heart Armor truly rallied them together, especially after Wang Jiugao joined their team and recounted numerous times the scene where Xu Jin killed Guan Ji with a single punch. These fellow disciples then performed Xu Jin’s arrangements quite well.

Currently observing through the Red Scale Heart, Ying Ge and his group were roughly over 2000 miles away from Xu Jin and Ji Hongli.

Both parties moving towards each other wouldn’t need two hours to meet.

However, Xu Jin specifically had them detour because they were passing through the central area of the Purple Wind Star Domain.

In the middle of the central area was the Royal City of the Purple Winged Alien Race.

That terrifying existence at the Ninth Layer of Star Condensation was inside the Royal City.

They had to avoid it, Xu Jin himself also needed to stay away.

During the journey, Xu Jin took out a jade bead he had confiscated from a disciple of the Star Hall and observed it for a while.

The jade beads confiscated from the Star Hall disciples were strange; they only showed a relative position.

That is, when the mind sunk into other light spots, one could faintly sense the distance to that light spot from oneself, but nothing more specific.

Therefore, Xu Jin could not use it to directly lock onto the location of Star Hall disciples; it only offered a rough reference.

But on this point, Xu Jin was not in a hurry.

Because every two hours, the location of the National Taoist Institute disciples would be sent to the Star Hall disciples; without accidents, the Star Hall disciples should come over.

Normally speculated, Tianyang Star Hall’s strongest genius disciple, Tian Lie, was targeting Ji Hongli; the one targeting Xu Jin should then be Cangming Star Hall’s top-grade Star Casting genius, Zhang Shuo.

During this day and a half, Xu Jin had continuously maintained high-speed movement, practically running from the westernmost part of the Purple Wind Star Domain to the easternmost, and now from the easternmost back to the middle.

It was quite normal that Zhang Shuo could not catch up, after all, the positions were only updated every two hours.

But once Xu Jin slowed down, Zhang Shuo should deliver himself to the doorstep.

Two hours later, Xu Jin and Ji Hongli found Ying Ge and his group.

Ying Ge’s team was in the middle of a fierce battle with a horde of local Alien Race warriors, surrounded and attacked by over forty warriors of the Star Refining Realm along with over a thousand warriors of the Star Casting and Dining Dawn Realms.

The danger was limited, but because two Ninth Layer and four Eighth Layer Alien Race warriors were present, they couldn’t quickly defeat their enemies.

It was a bit tough to handle!

Defeating the enemy was possible, but it required time.

Xu Jin and Ji Hongli charged in swiftly!

Within just a moment of engagement, Xu Jin ambushed and killed an Alien Race warrior at the Ninth Layer of Star Refining Realm.

During the surprise attack, Ji Hongli, together with Wang Jiugao, also took down an Eighth Layer Alien Race warrior!

In a blink, the pressure was significantly reduced for Ying Ge and his companions, and their spirits were greatly lifted.

With the help of Xu Jin and Ji Hongli, within just over 20 seconds, all forty-plus Star Refining Realm warriors were slaughtered, and the fierceness of the Alien Race army was fully demonstrated.

The Star Casting Realm warriors didn’t disperse in a rout; on the contrary, each charged crazily forward.

This was the effect of the brutal Military Law.

Only after slashing more than a third of these Star Casting and Dining Dawn Realm warriors, led by some Alien Race warriors, did they finally scatter and flee.

Right after the battle ended, Ying Ge, Wang Jiugao, Niu Ju, and the other five thanked Xu Jin, then all sat cross-legged on the ground to recover their Star Power, which was vastly depleted; they had already consumed Pills during the fight.

Looking at the bodies strewn across the ground, Xu Jin frowned slightly.

"Fifteen minutes! In fifteen minutes, we must move immediately. This place is quite close to the Royal City and encountering such a large army, we cannot stay long."
