Chapter 425: Second Kill and Eerie Situation

The Seventh Tier elites of the current age of humanity were all top-notch when it came to internal strife.

But if they united, their ingenuity would also emerge one after another.

One after another, according to the currently known strength characteristics of the Eighth Tier expert Ju Xuan, they set various tactics, including contingency plans.

Xu Jin, the bystander, felt a cold sweat for Ju Xuan as he listened.

When these Seventh Tier elites were discussing tactics, Xu Jin was just listening from afar and didn't participate.

Except for Mountain Shan Zhang Dong Zhao, no one knew Xu Jin's true combat power.

With nine Seventh Tier elites, the success rate of slaying Ju Xuan was very high.

But the difficulty was not once, but four times!

With intent against no intent, slaying Ju Xuan once was easy; three or four times was very difficult.

Xu Jin highly suspected that Ju Xuan had already comprehended the Seven Kills Dragon-Escaping Stake to the third layer.

That was to say, Ju Xuan had obtained three chances to substitute his death.

With Ju Xuan's power, he shouldn't have used the chance to substitute death in the previous five stages.

In that case, wanting to completely slay Ju Xuan required slaying him at least four times.

This was the most difficult part.

A group of Seventh Tier experts ended their discussion a quarter of an hour before the Seven Kills Palace appeared and decided on the established strategy.

But it brought another restriction to Mountain Shan Zhang Dong Zhao and Xu Jin.

Before the battle ended, they were not allowed to enter the Seven Kills Palace in advance.

Otherwise, they would also give up the battle and rush into the Seven Kills Palace.

Regarding this requirement, Xu Jin and Dong Zhao could only comply, and they also understood the thoughts of these experts.

No one knew if there were benefits to the order of entering the Seven Kills Palace, and no one knew if entering the Seven Kills Palace first could pick up benefits.

So, it was better to restrict it.

Xu Jin had thought this way, but he didn't want to do it.

Uniting so many Seventh Tier experts was Xu Jin's plan; Xu Jin couldn't destroy the plan he had carefully prepared and completed.

Clang!

Suddenly, a bell sound rang throughout the Seven Kills Secret Realm, and starlight instantly appeared in the sky.

【The Seven Kills Palace is about to appear; within three days, those who enter the Seven Kills Palace with a Seven Kills Token can become a registered disciple of this True Person.】

The moment the starlight appeared, everyone's gaze searched in all directions.

Searching for the direction where the Seven Kills Palace rose.

The next instant, a cluster of starlight rose slowly from the highest point of the mountain range in the distance of the Seven Kills Secret Realm.

"The Seven Kills Palace is there!" Ye Feng shouted!

Almost simultaneously, everyone saw a ray of light soar into the sky in the distance, as bright as a shooting star, rushing toward the direction where the Seven Kills Palace rose.

That aura fluctuation, that speed—without guessing, they knew it must be the Eighth Tier expert of the Golden Pillar alien race, Ju Xuan.

From the distance, it was about right.

But this Ju Xuan had already occupied a bit of the initiative and was faster than them.

He would definitely arrive earlier than them.

Then, the second situation in the tactics they had previously discussed would occur: Ju Xuan would arrive at the Seven Kills Palace one step ahead and guard the gate.

"Everyone, act according to the plan." Luoshui Hou Song Shoujie looked at the group of Seventh Tier elites.

The next instant, the nine Seventh Tier elites each cupped their fists and bowed, and with the Fifth Tier and Sixth Tier elites who had survived from their own families, they rushed toward the Seven Kills Palace from different directions.

At the peak of the Cangmang Mountain Range, where starlight flickered and vanished, a grand palace slowly emerged.

Although the palace was grand, what was most eye-catching was the tall building at the very back of the palace.

Seeing the appearance of that tall building, Xu Jin, who was following behind Luoshui Hou Song Shoujie, had his gaze move slightly.

That tall building, how come it looked somewhat like the Star-Plucking Building he had seen?

At the gate of the Seven Kills Palace, the Eighth Tier expert Ju Xuan, who had just arrived, flew around the Seven Kills Palace in a circle with the fastest speed, trying from all directions to enter, wanting to see if he could enter the Seven Kills Palace.

But whether from that wall or the air, rushing inward, only a cluster of starlight ripples would rush out; under the impact, the Seven Kills Palace in front of him would directly disappear.

Taking a step back, the Seven Kills Palace would appear again.

It was a bit like a mirage.

It was all empty.

Only the gate of the Seven Kills Palace was real and existed.

But even with the strength of his Eighth Tier expert, under full-force impact, the gate of the Seven Kills Palace remained motionless.

It seemed that besides the Seven Kills Token, there was no other way to enter the Seven Kills Palace.

But fortunately, the gate of the Seven Kills Palace was not big; although magnificent, it was only a few zhang in size, and he could guard it all by himself!

He prepared to guard the gate of the Seven Kills Palace to the death, and whoever came with a Seven Kills Token to break in, he would kill one by one.

It would be best to wipe them all out.

Then he would go in and harvest the inheritance of the Seven Kills True Person alone.

But only five breaths later, Ju Xuan's expression changed.

Suddenly, sixty or seventy rays of starlight rushed from the front.

There were nine rays of starlight emanating Seventh Tier auras.

Behind the nine Seventh Tier auras, each followed a batch of Sixth Tier and Fifth Tier starlight.

It could be considered nine teams of people.

The nine teams of people presented a semi-encirclement, rushing toward him at roughly the same speed.

In an instant, Ju Xuan understood.

The current age of humanity had discussed this and wanted to encircle and annihilate him!

The Holy Ancestor said that the current age of humanity was full of tricks, and looking at it now, it was indeed so!

Nine Seventh Tier experts, and they were all Seventh Tier elites of the current age of humanity; they really had the possibility of slaying him.

Almost in an instant, Ju Xuan, who had fought a hundred battles, made a decision.

If it were in the outside world, seeing such a lineup, he would definitely flee at the first opportunity.

But inside the Seven Kills Secret Realm, he had three chances to substitute his death.

The next instant, starlight surged around Ju Xuan, a Seven-Star Spirit Armor appeared, and at the same time, the golden horn on his head flashed with golden light, and the star tower behind his back directly appeared.

Almost at the same instant, the nine Seventh Tier experts also accelerated abruptly, charging toward Ju Xuan at the same time.

The first to bombard down was the water-bucket-thick thunder light from Hou Ziang of the Wood Spirit Palace, which was incomparably fierce, but it was easily blocked by Ju Xuan.

The next instant, Ju Xuan's figure moved, intending to attack Hou Ziang, who was rushing the fastest.

But the charging figure hit an invisible barrier.

The two Seventh Tier experts of Xumi Palace attacked simultaneously, blocking Ju Xuan with a space barrier.

At the same instant, the other seven Seventh Tier experts bombarded with full force.

Green radiance wound toward Ju Xuan from all directions, binding toward Ju Xuan, frost Star Qi, Fire-element Star Qi, thunder light, Earth-element Star Qi—in an instant, they focused their fire on Ju Xuan.

Golden light exploded repeatedly around Ju Xuan, and the star tower floating behind him shone brightly, shattering one after another of the majestic Star Qi.

Very strong!

However, one against nine!

And, very quickly, it became one against sixty!

As the Seventh Tier joined the battle circle, the Sixth Tier in the rear also began to join the battle.

Especially the Sixth Tier experts of the Wood Spirit Palace, thunder lights were bombarded high up one after another, and the moment they were bombarded, the Seventh Tier Hou Ziang attacked again.

Their Star Qi was from the same source, and in an instant, Hou Ziang's Thunder-element Star Art actually fused the Thunder-element Star Arts of the other Sixth Tier experts together, bombarding down toward Ju Xuan! Boom!

The protective starlight on Ju Xuan's head was instantly bombarded until layers of cracks appeared!

The concentrated fire bombardment of the others also crashed down continuously.

What was even more wonderful was that the space barrier Star Art of the two Seventh Tier experts of Xumi Palace was used extremely well.

Whenever Ju Xuan rushed left and right, the space barrier Star Art of the two Seventh Tier experts of Xumi Palace would appear out of thin air, blocking his path.

Space Star Arts were eerie and powerful.

Even Ju Xuan needed to activate his cultivation to bombard them open.

And their purpose was just to block Ju Xuan for an instant, and it was done.

At this time, it was also like this.

In the sensing of Xu Jin's Mingji Star Pattern, Ju Xuan was bombarded to the edge of danger by the concentrated fire, and while the golden horn on his forehead chose one person to bombard with full force, he simultaneously charged forward with all his might.

But at the instant he charged forward, one on the left and one on the right, two invisible space barriers appeared simultaneously, blocking Ju Xuan for an instant.

This instant let Ju Xuan fall into the concentrated fire again.

It also decided Ju Xuan's life and death.

Even though the Seventh Tier elite of the Wood Spirit Palace, Hou Ziang, who was focused on by Ju Xuan, was bombarded until he vomited blood, it was useless!

The concentrated fire was not just these Seventh Tier experts, but also Sixth Tier experts like Dong Zhao.

The next instant, Ju Xuan's figure dissipated under the bombardment of nearly a hundred rays of starlight!

But Xu Jin, who had been activating the Mingji Star Pattern, discovered that at the very last instant before being bombarded to death, Ju Xuan had directly retracted his Seven-Star Spirit Armor into his body.

Ju Xuan had actively chosen death!

That was to say, Ju Xuan had actively chosen death!

The Eighth Tier expert of the Golden Pillar alien race, Ju Xuan, was besieged and slain!

But no one showed a relaxed expression.

The first time, with intent against no intent, and under the circumstances of so many people besieging, it was the simplest.

Afterward, it was the most difficult!

They all understood that in Ju Xuan's previous battle, he had attacked almost all the Seventh Tier experts present once or twice.

This was a very brilliant tactic.

He was understanding the opponents who were besieging him!

"Prepare!" Luoshui Hou Song Shoujie suddenly shouted, and saw a bit of starlight suddenly appear at the position where Ju Xuan had just died in battle.

The next instant, the moment the starlight completely bloomed, all the concentrated fire bombarded toward Ju Xuan.

And at that very same instant, the starlight exploded, and eight Ju Xuans suddenly exploded in all directions.

It was Ju Xuan using the phantom clone technique.

No one panicked!

All the Seventh Tier experts calmly bombarded the phantom clones of Ju Xuan in front of them.

Seven figures shattered upon being bombarded, and only the Ju Xuan rushing toward Watching Zhang Lin was the real body.

Looking at the starlight that Ju Xuan was bombarding toward him while frantically activating his star tower and the golden horn on his head, Watching Zhang Lin was not in the least bit panicked, and one after another, frost giant shields condensed in front of him, and the Seven-Star Spirit Armor appeared.

Just at the instant Ju Xuan's full-force finishing move had just shattered Watching Zhang Lin's five frost giant shields and bombarded Watching Zhang Lin's Seven-Star Spirit Armor, the space cutting of the two Seventh Tier experts of Xumi Palace descended simultaneously.

It directly interrupted Ju Xuan's Star Qi output.

Watching Zhang Lin's Seven-Star Spirit Armor fluctuated violently, and a little bit of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.

The concentrated fire arrived again!

After a few breaths, amidst the unwilling roars of the Golden Pillar alien Ju Xuan, and under the concentrated fire of all parties, he disintegrated into starlight.

However, Xu Jin, who had been activating the Mingji Star Pattern, still discovered that before being bombarded to death, Ju Xuan had actively retracted his Seven-Star Spirit Armor into his body.

The Eighth Tier expert Ju Xuan was slain for the second time!

Having slain the Eighth Tier expert for the second time, some people already had relaxed smiles on their faces.

The coordination of a group of Seventh Tier elites was still not bad.

Especially the second slaying, it was truly a hard kill!

"Marquis, I just noticed that Ju Xuan's Seven-Star Spirit Armor was actively retracted into his body before death; be careful of Ju Xuan's burst! It might be this third time." Xu Jin actively transmitted his voice to remind him.

"I know."

"Everyone, strive for complete success!"

Almost at the instant Luoshui Hou Song Shoujie shouted, a bit of starlight appeared again from the place where the Eighth Tier expert Ju Xuan had just died in battle, and Ju Xuan's figure quickly appeared from the starlight, his face full of ferocity!

The next instant, Ju Xuan appeared, the Seven-Star Spirit Armor appeared, the golden light on the golden horn on his head appeared, and the star tower behind his back swayed with starlight!

Everyone simultaneously began to concentrate fire on the Eighth Tier expert Ju Xuan.

In the sensing of Xu Jin's Mingji Star Pattern, the Eighth Tier expert Ju Xuan this time did not take the initiative to attack first, but waited until the moment the nine Seventh Tier experts' concentrated fire was unleashed before attacking again.

Ju Xuan took two attacks head-on, and then his figure turned into eight again, rushing toward the Seventh Tier expert closest to him.

Ju Xuan would use the phantom clone technique; Xu Jin had long provided this to everyone.

The Seventh Tier elites of the current age of humanity had long had established tactics.

At this time, Ju Xuan used the phantom clone technique again, and everyone still used the previous strategy: first destroy the clones, then support those attacked by the real body.

At such a close distance, it was completely in time.

But the next instant, when all the clones vanished, Ju Xuan's real body rushed toward the Seventh Tier expert of Xumi Palace, Qiao Shen!

Qiao Shen was slightly panicked, but he still frantically activated the space barrier, stacking defenses.

At the same time, the Seven-Star Spirit Armor on his body shone with starlight, and was also activated to the limit by him.

At the same time, amidst the booming sound, at the instant Ju Xuan vomited blood, the star tower behind him actually flew out a layer, bombarding toward Qiao Shen like a shooting star!

On a certain

Under the full-force attack, this seventh-tier expert from the Sumeru Palace, who was just about to support Qiao Shen, was thrown into chaos and unable to provide timely support!

At the same time, amidst the booming sounds, the moment Ju Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood, the Zhai Xing Lou behind him actually flew out a layer, crashing toward Qiao Shen like a meteor!

On a certain star within the Star Vault, the Zhai Xing Lou on one star also suddenly dissipated a layer.

Ju Xuan was actually destroying his own cultivation base to launch an attack.

As for Ju Xuan's own strength, it was focused on full-force defense!

One layer of the Zhai Xing Lou contained at least one fully refined and controlled Heaven-Earth Star Will. Under the resonance of Heaven and Man, the terrifying starlight destroyed the heavy defenses set up by Qiao Shen like dry wood.

Even Qiao Shen's Seven-Star Spirit Armor was shattered in an instant.

A fatal blow!

Qiao Shen, the early-stage seventh-tier powerhouse of the Sumeru Palace, was killed in battle!

He instantly turned into starlight and dissipated.

The Seven Kill Token appeared.

At this very moment, a brilliant light flared in Ju Xuan's eyes, and his star power surged out crazily as if he didn't care about his life. Resisting the focused fire of everyone, he rushed to the place where Qiao Shen had fought and snatched away the Seven Kill Token that had just appeared.

At this very instant, the focused fire from all directions poured down like madness, shattering the heavy defenses set up by the eighth-tier powerhouse Ju Xuan and slamming into Ju Xuan's Seven-Star Spirit Armor.

In just a single instant, under the focused fire of so many seventh-tier and sixth-tier powerhouses, Ju Xuan's top-grade Seven-Star Spirit Armor disintegrated layer by layer, and Ju Xuan spat out blood even more crazily.

But just as everyone thought Ju Xuan was about to be blasted to death, he suddenly disappeared into thin air!

He disappeared into thin air from everyone's field of vision.

He wasn't killed!

When killed, there would be a substitute-death starlight appearing.

Just as everyone was puzzled, Xu Jin suddenly shouted, "It's the Seven Kill Escape Dragon Stake!"

The next instant, Ju Xuan's figure appeared at the gate of the Seven Kill Palace. The moment he appeared, and just as everyone's gaze shifted over, Ju Xuan gripped the Seven Kill Token, lunged forward, and charged directly into the colorful, light-dappled gate of the Seven Kill Palace.

"Hahahaha... just you wait for me!"

Ju Xuan's loud laughter echoed from inside the Seven Kill Palace gate, while outside the gate, a large pool of blood spat out by Ju Xuan still remained!

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in dismay!

At the same time, a point of starlight appeared.

It was Qiao Shen, the seventh-tier expert from the Sumeru Palace who had just been killed, appearing after using his substitute-death opportunity!

After appearing, Qiao Shen exclaimed, "Where is my Seven Kill Token!"
