Chapter 448

"My rules... I cannot use my rules." Although he had knocked Star War away, the Starlight Seal had completed in the final moments. Once it was finished, Li Si discovered he could no longer use his rules.

"Go to hell." Star War's voice rang out, and he flashed toward Li Si like starlight. A starlight giant sword had already manifested in his hand, which he swung in a horizontal slash at Li Si.

*Sssssss—*

The starlight giant sword flashed across Li Si's body amidst the shimmering starlight, like a shooting star streaking across the night sky, or the flicker of starlight.

Following closely behind was a spray of crimson blood, carving a scarlet trail in the wake of the sword's path.

"He actually dodged it? As expected of Star War's sword." Star War said, sounding somewhat surprised yet as if he had expected it.

However, the "dodge" Star War referred to was not Li Si avoiding the strike entirely, but rather avoiding the fatal blow.

Originally, Star War had intended for this strike to cleave Li Si in two, ending him once and for all.

Now, although the strike had connected, it had not bisected Li Si; it had merely inflicted a heavy wound.

Standing in the void opposite Star War were two figures. One was naturally Li Si, who had been nearly slain on the spot; he looked withered and spiritless, yet his face was full of vigilance.

The other was a person shaped like a five or six-year-old child.

This child's expression was different from Li Si's. He showed no vigilance, nor the tension or anger of facing an enemy. He simply wore a full smile, and with his tender, somewhat chubby face, he looked exactly like a child-sized Maitreya Buddha.

If an ordinary person saw such a child, they would absolutely think he was innocent and naive. But as Star War looked at this child-sized Maitreya Buddha, he felt a wave of palpitations in his heart.

Although this child-sized Maitreya Buddha did not radiate much aura—appearing almost as if he had nothing to do with the battlefield—Star War's intuition told him that this child's strength was absolutely that of a Rank 3 Saint.

Only a Rank 3 Saint could have rescued Li Si without him even reacting. This was definitely a Rank 3 Saint.

*Hummm— Hummm—*

At this moment, the space beside Star War and the child vibrated twice, and two figures appeared respectively: Lei Dun Weisi and Pi Xisi.

After Lei Dun Weisi appeared, he looked toward Star War and immediately grasped the situation from the expression in Star War's eyes. He then turned to look at the opposite side. When his gaze fell upon the child, his eyes narrowed, and like Star War, he looked extremely grave.

Unlike Lei Dun Weisi, when Pi Xisi saw the child, he could not hide the excitement in his eyes and immediately bowed to the child, saying, "Greetings, Holy Envoy."

However, the child ignored Pi Xisi and looked toward the newly arrived Lei Dun Weisi. After glancing at him, he maintained his signature Maitreya smile and said to Star War and Lei Dun Weisi:

"I didn't expect you two little dolls to have such strength at such a young age. And to be so patient—you even nearly made Li Si fall into your trap. No wonder you are called the Star War Twin Hunters."

A child who looked only five or six years old calling Star War and Lei Dun Weisi "two little dolls" would sound incredibly bizarre to anyone else, but to the ears of Star War and Lei Dun Weisi, it sounded perfectly normal.

Because Star War and Lei Dun Weisi knew that the tender-looking child standing before them could not possibly be the age his body suggested. Inside that youthful body lived an old monster who had lived for who knows how long. Otherwise, there was no way to explain the fact that such a young child possessed the strength of a Rank 3 Saint.

Even if one started cultivating from the womb, it would be impossible to become a Rank 3 Saint by the age of five or six.

"I truly didn't expect the Kingdom Organization to be so attentive to my little Weisi City. To seize my tiny Weisi City, you dispatched heavy troops and multiple Saints to surround the cities around Weisi, luring away all the Saints stationed here by the Hunter Association. And yet, you still sent two more Saints—one of whom is a Rank 3 Saint—and even paid a huge price to forcibly elevate Pi Xisi to a Saint. What a grand gesture."

Having been the City Lord for so many years, Lei Dun Weisi had figured out the sequence of events now that things had reached this point.

"As expected of the City Lord of Weisi, you've figured out the sequence of events. It's a pity it's already too late. Hand over everything obtained from the Weisi Mystic Realm and everyone who came out alive, then cede the City Lord position to Pi Xisi, and I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will raze your Weisi City."

The Holy Envoy was completely indifferent to Lei Dun Weisi seeing through their plan; he even offered a sincere compliment, though it was merely a gesture. He then changed the subject, ordering Lei Dun Weisi to surrender Weisi City or face a massacre.

"Hmph— If you want Weisi City, you'll have to step over my corpse." Lei Dun Weisi clearly would not hand over Weisi City just like that.

Furthermore, his own daughter was among those who had returned alive from Weisi City, making Lei Dun Weisi even less likely to surrender the city.

"Hmph— Unappreciative. Go—" "An old ghost who can only rely on possessing someone else's body talks too much."

Just as the Holy Envoy wanted to fly into a rage after Lei Dun Weisi rejected his demands, Star War launched an attack first.

Starlight flickered, and another starlight giant sword manifested in Star War's empty left hand. He transformed into a streak of starlight and flashed behind the Holy Envoy in the blink of an eye. He then swung both swords toward Li Si, who had been left stunned by Star War's sudden appearance.

Two starlight giant swords slashed toward Li Si's head like starlight piercing the night sky.

*Clang—*

However, just as Li Si felt he was surely going to die, a metallic clashing sound rang out. Star War's two starlight giant swords stopped at Li Si's scalp, unable to advance even a fraction of an inch.

Then, a gloomy voice sounded: "It seems I should just raze this Weisi City and be done with it."

"How is this possible?" Hearing this voice, Star War and Lei Dun Weisi could not help but say in disbelief: "You actually have another Saint!"
