Chapter 270

In an instant,

the Autumn Water sword energy arrived coldly and fiercely.

It forcibly imprisoned the captain in place!

Autumn Water, although not as sharp as Hanguang,

as a treasure of spiritual essence, possessed a strange characteristic that could seal spiritual essence in an unexpected moment!

The captain activated the "Spirit-Awakening Array," and his spiritual breath originally surged.

But at this very moment,

facing the Autumn Water imprisonment, his body twisted frantically,

but he couldn't move at all!

The sword light was fierce, reflecting in his pupils.

"Such a massive infusion of spiritual energy is just a casual strike from him!"

The captain was horrified in his heart, and the last thought flashed through.

Then his vision went dark, and he had no more consciousness.

Boom!

Autumn Water was like a sharp blade cutting through paper, shredding past.

It tore his body into countless fragments!

Whether it was the "Spirit-Awakening Array" or the specially made combat suit,

or even the protective talisman hanging around his neck,

they were all blasted into slag by Autumn Water, without providing any protection!

Seeing this scene,

the surrounding team members had their slender bodies tremble violently; without any hesitation, they all took out their communication devices, protective light curtains surged around them, and they turned to fly toward the flying boat!

They had already realized that the Earth living being in front of them was too terrifying, and they were no match for him at all.

Staying here would only be sending themselves to death!

Even the captain who activated the "Spirit-Awakening Array" was killed by his sword.

In their eyes,

this terrifying strength was already comparable to the Divine Palace Realm!

"Stay."

Jiang Jian spoke softly.

The next second,

the Autumn Water long sword in his hand dissipated into light.

Replacing it

was a black wooden staff.

At this time,

the team members had already boarded the flying boat, hurriedly starting it, and flying toward the Mercury warship that blocked out the sky at the firmament crack!

Jiang Jian held the Ksitigarbha Tin Staff and drew a light stroke.

This luxurious black wooden staff instantly revealed star-like black light and merged into the void.

In the blink of an eye,

hundreds of meters away,

on the rapidly rising flying boat, all the team members froze!

Their pupils lost focus, and their souls silently annihilated.

Their slender bodies became stiff, falling off the edge of the flying boat one after another, falling into the mountain cliffs and dense forests.

Jiang Jian looked up at the increasingly small flying boat, flipped his palm, and put away the Ksitigarbha Tin Staff.

Activating this treasure once required consuming a small amount of soul source power.

He estimated in his heart

that according to the soul source power he could utilize at this moment,

the Ksitigarbha Tin Staff could be used about three times.

Even when facing an ordinary Divine Palace Realm expert, it could suppress their soul in a short time, making them lose combat ability!

"Thank you for saving our lives!"

A monster walked up close, eyes showing gratitude.

More flower and bird spirits flew down, their expressions cautious, bowing to Jiang Jian: "Thank you!"

Mingque Mountain was a place where unofficial citizens lived.

Most of those living here were monsters and spirits.

The team that descended from the warship just now

had slaughtered nearly a hundred mountain living beings in a short time!

The incident happened suddenly.

Other mountain spirits couldn't run very far.

Seeing the tragic state of the demon spirits being slaughtered,

they were all desperate in their hearts, closing their eyes and waiting for death.

Now that they had survived, they all gathered around, thanking Jiang Jian one after another.

"If it weren't for you, we would all have died here!"

"Thank you!"

"Are you from the Baiye Pavilion?"

"I heard that the Baiye Pavilion belongs to the Star-Governing Palace and only recruits Baiye Prefecture living beings, with extremely strict conditions!"

"How can one join the Baiye Pavilion!?"

Amidst the noisy discussion,

many monsters had red eyes, clenching their fists tightly, with hatred in them.

Clearly,

among the living beings slaughtered just now, there were their blood relatives.

Jiang Jian shook his head lightly and was about to speak.

Above the firmament,

an aircraft and a small warship fell one after another.

"That is the escort ship of the Baiye Prefecture Yamen!"

A monster looked at the warship with surprise.

Although on weekdays, the Baiye Prefecture Yamen soldiers were not friendly to unofficial citizens.

But now seeing the Prefecture Yamen escort ship,

these Mingque Mountain monsters felt much more settled in their hearts.

"At the edge of the northern border of Baiye Prefecture, a warship team descended on Mingque Mountain, unofficial citizen casualties 68, currently the team's whereabouts are unknown!"

The escort ship cabin door opened, a soldier holding a gun stood at the door, wearing goggles and scanning around, instantly counting the number of casualties.

He took out his identity device, clicked continuously, and began to report.

At the same time,

on the opposite aircraft, a disdainful voice came out: "The Prefecture Yamen are all idiots. The members of that warship team are all dead, and you are still reporting their whereabouts as unknown. You are truly stupid to the core!"

Being insulted for no reason,

the soldier holding the gun had an ugly expression but dared not flare up, asking in a muffled voice: "May I ask the cultivator, on what basis do you judge that the team members are dead?"

As Prefecture Yamen personnel,

in Baiye Prefecture, he had always been rampant and fearless.

But the opposite aircraft belonged to the "Baiye Pavilion" established not long ago.

The Baiye Pavilion was a subordinate structure of the Star-Governing Palace.

Its Pavilion Master was the Baiye Prefecture Master!

A group of Spring Realm geniuses were recruited into it one after another, becoming "cultivator" officials.

According to the joint regulations of Earth and Mars,

during wartime, the Star-Governing Palace was above their respective alliances and federations.

What it represented was the highest authority of the two major planets!

Even if it was the lowest-level "cultivator" in a subordinate pavilion of the Star-Governing Palace, as long as they held an official position in the Star-Governing Palace, they were far from being someone the Prefecture Yamen personnel could offend.

"I won't admit it if you call me an idiot. Do I need to judge what I saw with my own eyes?"

That cultivator sneered, raised his wrist, and shook the gray glasses in his hand.

"The combat equipment issued to you by the Prefecture Yamen is all broken junk from a few years ago, with short range and low frequency; it is simply a pile of garbage."

Hearing this,

the soldier holding the gun subconsciously reached out, touched his old glasses, showed a sullen look, and dared not refute again.

The cultivator chuckled, jumped off the aircraft, landed beside Jiang Jian, his expression softened, and said: "You can kill 7 Mercury scum alone with your own strength; even if you get more rewards, I won't be jealous."

The firmament crack above spanned several prefectures.

Baiye Prefecture was one of them.

The affected prefectures acted very quickly, organizing subordinate pavilions within their borders under the notification of the Star-Governing Palace and sending cultivators to intercept them.

During wartime, Earth-Moon resources were almost all tilted toward the Star-Governing Palace.

Killing one Mercury living being could earn a large amount of rewards!

This time, the Demon Monarch Baxia attacked suddenly, blasting a crack in the planetary barrier and sending a giant warship into the Surface Realm, attempting to create chaos.

But the Star-Governing Palace cultivators were not afraid; instead, they were all extremely excited.

They knew very clearly

that under the same realm, the strength of Mercury living beings was limited.

In the early stages of the war,

these warship teams that fell into the Surface Realm to create chaos were completely massive spiritual resources for them!

After all,

apart from the Divine Palace Realm, which could automatically enter the Star-Governing Palace,

Spring Realm living beings, if they wanted to join and obtain the "cultivator" official position, needed to undergo extremely harsh reviews!

After heavy screening,

every Star-Governing Palace cultivator was a person of no small strength!

Despite this,

a complete warship team still required 3 to 4 cultivators to clear it out without significant casualties.

In this cultivator's eyes,

Jiang Jian activated a powerful hidden card to annihilate a team alone.

His combat power could almost be compared to an "Elder"!

"Wait, no!"

The cultivator looked at Jiang Jian and suddenly said, "You are not an official of the Baiye Pavilion!?"

At first, he thought

Jiang Jian was a "cultivator" official of the Baiye Pavilion like him.

The time the Baiye Pavilion was established was not long,

and it was still constantly recruiting living beings.

Many officials within it didn't know each other.

But after the cultivator used the identity device to call up the image and check, he found that the white-robed youth in front of him was not among the Baiye Pavilion officials at all, and was not even a "cultivator"!

"No."

Jiang Jian's expression was calm; he didn't say anything more, identified the direction, and headed straight for Chang'an Prefecture.

"Wait!"

The cultivator called out to Jiang Jian, "Many warship teams have fallen over there; it is very dangerous!"

Mercury warships spanned the sky.

Nearly half of the teams fell near Chang'an Prefecture!

In other words,

that direction had a full tens of thousands of Mercury living beings!

At the same time,

that was also where the defensive battle was most tragic!

It was not just "cultivators."

Even many "Elders,"

and even several "Vice Pavilion Masters,"

were sent out to intercept the warship teams!

The official ranks of the subordinate pavilions of the Star-Governing Palace were very clear.

The first-tier "cultivator" was held by Spring Realm living beings with deep foundations.

The second-tier "Elder" was held by the most top-tier Spring Realm experts.

And the third-tier "Vice Pavilion Master,"

as well as the fourth-tier "Border-Patrolling Envoy,"

could only be held by Divine Palace Realm experts!
