Chapter 474

Leizhou, Chen Guo's National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao was confronting Lord Lord Tianyang, Zhuang Zhen, from afar, and the Star-Plucking Tokens of the two were flashing constantly.

If someone who didn't know saw this, they would think the two were chatting.

At this very moment, most of the messages received in Lord Lord Tianyang Zhuang Zhen's Star-Plucking Token were good news.

There were two messages that, while not bad news, couldn't be considered absolutely good news either.

For this rescue battle, counting Lord Lord Tianyang himself, and ordering one retainer from the Da Hong Imperial Court, a total of nine Eighth-Tier experts were dispatched.

Among the nine Eighth-Tier experts, Lord Lord Tianyang was already in Leizhou, and there were eight remaining.

Previously, intelligence revealed that Chen Guo's other two Eighth-Tier experts appeared in Songzhou and Danzhou respectively.

Therefore, Lord Lord Tianyang specifically sent more manpower to these two prefectures.

Especially Songzhou, where he sent three Eighth-Tier experts directly.

The goal was very simple: to kill Peng Peng Tiesheng, the Eighth-Tier expert who was Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's right-hand man and most trusted.

In this way, they could severely injure Chen Guo and severely injure Cheng Cheng Yuexiao.

This was also the most important plan of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace.

Therefore, Songzhou was led by the First Elder of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace, Wang Kan, who had quite strong combat power.

They were equipped with extremely strong combat power.

One Eighth-Tier late-stage, one Eighth-Tier mid-stage, and one Eighth-Tier early-stage, the three of them besieging one Eighth-Tier early-stage Peng Peng Tiesheng, should be very easy to kill.

But unexpectedly, in the latest intelligence, it was this battle result that was supposed to be a sure thing that was the first to have an accident.

Peng Peng Tiesheng was unexpectedly powerful.

In just one encounter, he severely injured the Fourth Elder, who was an Eighth-Tier mid-stage expert.

Subsequently, he severely injured another Eighth-Tier early-stage elder.

Even more unexpectedly, the Sixth-Tier Dong Zhao had successively severely injured two Seventh-Tier experts; if it weren't for Eighth-Tier experts coming to meet them, these two Seventh-Tier experts in Songzhou would have fallen.

In the current situation, Songzhou, which was originally a sure thing, was not taken.

Eighth-Tier early-stage Peng Peng Tiesheng was also unexpectedly powerful, actually being able to fight First Elder Wang Kan to a standstill, with Dong Zhao assisting.

Looking at it now, the goal of the Songzhou battle situation could no longer be achieved.

This could be considered bad news.

In Danzhou, they sent two Eighth-Tier experts, and the battle goal was to rescue the elites stationed in Chen Guo, while at the same time containing Chen Guo's other Eighth-Tier expert, Pei Ze.

The latest intelligence obtained was that the preliminary goal of the battle situation had been achieved.

Chen Guo's forces attacking the various branch palaces and academies in Danzhou had already begun to shrink.

The surviving parts of the forces of the various branch palaces and academies had already begun to organize a retreat.

All other prefectures sent nothing but good news.

Yanzhou, Jingzhou, and Xihai Prefecture each sent one Eighth-Tier expert and two Seventh-Tier experts to rescue them, and at the same time, they paid back in kind to Chen Guo, who was attacking the Lord Tianyang Star Palace.

Currently, the Eighth-Tier and Seventh-Tier experts in these three prefectures had already arrived and had already begun to act.

According to the requirements, they had to report the latest battle situation to Lord Lord Tianyang every hundred breaths.

It could be said that except for Songzhou, it was all good news!

But Peng Peng Tiesheng's strength made Lord Lord Tianyang somewhat worried.

When this Peng Peng Tiesheng was Seventh-Tier, his combat power was mediocre, just at an average level.

After breaking through to Eighth-Tier, his combat power had actually had a breakthrough improvement.

If he were allowed to grow, in the future, this person might be the main force sitting in Chen Guo, and Cheng Cheng Yuexiao would be able to free up his hands.

If there was an opportunity, he still had to find a way to eliminate the Eighth-Tier Peng Peng Tiesheng.

Allowing him to grow further would be a disaster.

Compared to Lord Lord Tianyang Zhuang Zhen's relaxation, National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's expression was somewhat solemn.

The disadvantage of insufficient Eighth-Tier experts was fully reflected at this moment.

Manpower was stretched thin.

But there was no way; Eighth-Tier experts were not like Fifth-Tier or Sixth-Tier experts, and couldn't be piled up in a short time.

And this battle was imperative.

In the current situation, battle losses were bound to appear.

In war, how could there be no deaths!

But in the end, it depended on which side had greater losses, and it depended on whether the strategic goals could be achieved!

At least from now, Chen Guo's strategic goals had been preliminarily achieved.

The branch palaces and academies of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace stationed in Chen Guo would inevitably be completely uprooted after today.

Suddenly, National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's Star-Plucking Token received several more starlight messages in succession.

The contents of the starlight messages were all about the same.

Eighth-Tier experts of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace had been discovered within Danzhou, Jingzhou, Xihai Prefecture, and Songzhou.

National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao was not worried about Danzhou and Songzhou.

As for Jingzhou, firstly, Ji Bang was there, and secondly, Meng Meng Yanhui, who was originally mainly attacking Leizhou, had also rushed over; these two, although their cultivation was only Seventh-Tier early-stage, joining forces to deal with one Eighth-Tier early-stage expert was not a problem.

Besides, during this period of time, they had also accumulated some special power; erupting would injure the enemy, and besides that, National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao had other arrangements.

Therefore, Jingzhou was not a problem.

Now, what National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao was worried about was Yanzhou and Xihai Prefecture.

These two prefectures were actually the responsibility of Xu Jin.

National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao had high hopes for Xu Jin, and Xu Jin's strength was also supported by battle records, but Xu Jin's cultivation was there.

To say he wasn't worried would be a lie!

Especially since he hadn't received a battle report from Yanzhou for a long time.

National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao was somewhat anxious.

If an accident happened in these two prefectures, then Chen Guo's battle losses this time would be very large.

Although the protective academy arrays of the branch academies in these two prefectures had already been raised and could block Seventh-Tier experts for a while, they absolutely could not block Eighth-Tier experts.

This was National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's worry.

Just as he was worried, National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's Star-Plucking Token lit up again, and after just one glance, most of the worry in his eyes dissipated.

"National Master, one Eighth-Tier early-stage and two Seventh-Tier experts came to attack Yanzhou, and they have all been annihilated. What is the next step, please arrange, National Master."

The moment he finished reading the starlight message, National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's breathing became much lighter.

Annihilated!

Xu Jin had actually killed the Eighth-Tier and Seventh-Tier experts who came to attack.

This strength also proved that National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's worry was superfluous.

At the same time, it also completely locked in the victory for National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's operation this time!

In a battle, you don't need to bloom everywhere and win big everywhere.

You only need one big victory, and that is enough.

Cheng Cheng Yuexiao glanced at the confident Lord Lord Tianyang; it seemed he hadn't received the battle report that the Yanzhou reinforcements of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace had been annihilated.

Thinking about it, it was natural; if they were annihilated, they naturally couldn't send a battle report.

"Xu Jin, order the relevant combat personnel in Yanzhou, after cleaning up the battlefield, return to the branch academy in the shortest time, hold the protective academy array, and wait for the end of the big battle.

If you are uninjured, quickly go to Xihai Prefecture.

Xihai Prefecture has Eighth-Tier experts arriving, and currently, no one is containing them."

"Understood, I will rush over immediately."

Yanzhou, the moment he received National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's starlight message, Xu Jin had just pulled out the Sumeru space of the Eighth-Tier expert Luo Yi he had killed.

After just one glance, Xu Jin lost interest.

This was a poor Eighth-Tier expert.

Of course, it was just a poor person in Xu Jin's eyes.

Ordinary wealth, such as Fifth-Tier and Sixth-Tier Star Jade Tablets, including pills, was quite a lot.

But the Fifth-Tier or even Sixth-Tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures that Xu Jin wanted were not there at all. Thinking about it, it should be that Luo Yi had used them all up to break through to Eighth-Tier.

As for the Sumeru spaces of the other two Seventh-Tier experts, Xu Jin had pulled one out.

In this Seventh-Tier expert's Sumeru space, six stalks of Fifth-Tier spiritual medicine appeared, and one stalk of Fifth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual medicine, which was a much larger harvest than the one on the Eighth-Tier expert.

As for the other one, Xu Jin didn't touch it.

He took the majority of these battle spoils; this was what he deserved.

That portion was for Teacher Liu Zhou Qingzhu and Dean Cao to divide.

"Teacher Liu, I need to patrol other places. The National Master ordered that after you finish cleaning up the battlefield, quickly return to the branch academy and hold your ground."

"Understood, you be careful."

The next instant, Xu Jin's thunder wings shook, and he flew toward the Star-Plucking Tower branch building in Yanzhou.

Jingzhou prefecture city.

An Eighth-Tier expert of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace was leading two Seventh-Tier experts, frantically bombarding the protective academy array of the Jingzhou branch academy.

The goal was only one!

First slaughter the elites of Chen Guo's National Dao Academy Jingzhou branch academy, and then slaughter all the Dao academies in the various counties subordinate to Chen Guo's National Dao Academy in Jingzhou.

Pay back in kind!

Let Chen Guo know that the Lord Tianyang Star Palace cannot be insulted!

This was the order Lord Lord Tianyang personally gave them when they came.

Otherwise, what were they doing coming to Chen Guo's Jingzhou?

Chen Guo's Jingzhou no longer had any Lord Tianyang Star Palace elites worth meeting.

But because the speed of breaking through the branch palace was extremely fast, when they rushed over, all the elites of Chen Guo's National Dao Academy branch academy had actually retreated into the Star-Plucking Tower branch building.

Relying on the Star-Plucking Tower branch building to resist them.

However, it was just a Star-Plucking Tower branch building.

Relying on manpower and a vast amount of Star Jade Tablets to drive the Star-Plucking Tower branch building to resist Seventh-Tier experts was no problem at all, but it couldn't resist Eighth-Tier experts.

Breaking through was only a matter of time.

After bombarding for only a few breaths, the starlight of Chen Guo's National Dao Academy Jingzhou Star-Plucking Tower branch building began to dim, and it couldn't hold on anymore. Outside the Star-Plucking Tower branch building, faint cracks had already appeared.

Under another heavy blow, inside the Star-Plucking Tower branch building, branch academy dean Lou Zhi already had blood spilling from the corners of his mouth!

Even so, it was because a large number of Star Jade Tablets were filled in to supplement it.

Otherwise, he, a Sixth-Tier expert, would have been severely injured long ago.

However, facing the powerful surprise attack of one Eighth-Tier and two Seventh-Tier experts, the branch building couldn't hold on for long.

Lou Zhi had already begun to arrange a backup plan.

He, this dean, could not run.

He could only coexist with the branch building.

But the elites of Jingzhou, especially the Third-Tier and Fourth-Tier elites, could teleport away before the branch building was broken.

The reason Lou Zhi hadn't issued the order to retreat was because Lou Zhi still held a glimmer of hope.

Previously, it was precisely because he received a warning from Great National Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao that he had retreated all personnel into the Star-Plucking Tower branch building.

The Great National Master also said, hold your ground and wait for support!

So, where were the reinforcements?

Boom!

Another three terrifying attacks landed on the Star-Plucking Tower branch building.

Inside the Star-Plucking Tower branch building, Dean Lou Zhi and the group of Fourth-Tier and Fifth-Tier elites who were inputting their star power into the Star Tower were all shaken and vomited blood!

Some individual Fourth-Tier experts directly fell into a coma during this counter-shock.

Many disciples already had expressions of despair on their faces.

If this continued, it wouldn't be long before they all died!

Ying Ge wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, looking at the three Lord Tianyang Star Palace experts through the hazy starlight of the Star-Plucking Tower branch building, killing intent flashing in his eyes.

He only hated that his own cultivation was not high.

He hated even more that he had wasted too much good time before.

If he had been more diligent, started bitter cultivation earlier, and his cultivation had been higher, just like Senior Brother Xu Jin, now, perhaps it would be different.

Boom!

Another heavy blow, causing Ying Ge, who was continuously inputting star power, to vomit blood wildly.

Suddenly, light and shadow emerged before his eyes, and Ying Ge saw Senior Brother Xu Jin walking toward him.

"Is this an illusion?"

The next instant, cool and vibrant crisp green Star-Healing star power surged into Ying Ge's body, instantly allowing Ying Ge's injuries to recover somewhat.

"You use the Star-Healing you've learned to treat others first; leave the enemy to me."

Xu Jin just slightly recovered Ying Ge's injuries, gave instructions, and with a flash, appeared in front of the branch academy dean, Lou Zhi.

"Vice Academician Xu, where are the reinforcements?" Lou Zhi asked, wiping the blood from the corners of his mouth, trembling.

"I am!" Xu Jin, who had just teleported over, said.

This time, Lou Zhi's expression changed slightly, but he didn't question it, just felt somewhat lacking in confidence.

He had seen Xu Jin act before and knew Xu Jin's combat power was very strong; solving Seventh-Tier experts should be possible.

But Eighth-Tier!

"I'll solve it." Xu Jin's body surged with starlight, thunder wings emerged, and he wanted to rush out of the branch building to kill the Lord Tianyang Star Palace experts.

Although it was an Eighth-Tier mid-stage expert, it was just an ordinary Eighth-Tier mid-stage expert; for Xu Jin, who possessed special power, it was not difficult.

Just as he was about to move, Xihai Prefecture branch academy dean Lou Zhi's gaze moved, and he suddenly stopped him, "Wait a moment, there is movement."

"Hmm?"

Xu Jin was surprised, and fully drove his Mingji Star Pattern to sense outward.

The sudden situation he sensed instantly caused Xu Jin's expression to change.

Four Eighth-Tier experts!

Outside the Star-Plucking Tower branch building, suddenly there were four more Eighth-Tier experts.

Two Eighth-Tier late-stage, two Eighth-Tier mid-stage.

This lineup!

Where did they come from?

It absolutely couldn't be the Lord Tianyang Star Palace's!

The next instant, whether it was Xu Jin or Lou Zhi, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Friends, not enemies!

Because these four powerful Eighth-Tier experts who suddenly appeared had already surrounded and killed the Lord Tianyang Star Palace's Fifth Elder, Zhu Zhu Shoulun.

The moment he discovered these four powerful Eighth-Tier experts, Zhu Zhu Shoulun's expression changed drastically, and without hesitation, Zhu Zhu Shoulun didn't even have time to notify the two Seventh-Tier experts, and took out a spatial shifting emblem, intending to flee for his life.

However, Cangming Star Palace First Elder Sun Sun Xianzu had personally led the team and had already planned everything. The moment Cangming Star Palace Fourth Elder Fei Zheng appeared, his longbow was already fully drawn, starlight condensed into arrows, arrows like starlight, like a shooting star chasing the moon, bombarding the Lord Tianyang Star Palace's Fifth Elder, Zhu Zhu Shoulun!

The terrifying starlight bombarded and exploded Zhu Zhu Shoulun's protective star light, leaving Zhu Zhu Shoulun no time to use the spatial shifting emblem, and even caused the surrounding star power to riot like a tide, making it impossible to use the spatial shifting emblem.

Even the two Seventh-Tier experts who reacted were unable to use the spatial shifting emblem.

They could only turn and flee rapidly.

At the same time, Cangming Star Palace First Elder Sun Sun Xianzu, Cangming Star Palace Third Elder Lu Lu Zhenyuan, and Sixth Elder Fu Di had already rushed to the front of Lord Tianyang Star Palace Fifth Elder Zhu Zhu Shoulun, starlight surging, and all their killing moves were unleashed.

And Fourth Elder Fei Zheng continued to draw his bow like a full moon, chasing and killing the two fleeing Seventh-Tier experts.

Bow drawn like a full moon, shooting stars fired in succession.

After two arrows, both Seventh-Tier experts were severely injured, and after another two arrows, the two Seventh-Tier experts of the Lord Tianyang Star Palace had already been killed.

Inside the Xihai Prefecture Star-Plucking Tower branch building, Dean Lou Zhi was ecstatic.

He didn't expect the reinforcements mentioned by the National Master to be so powerful.

With such powerful reinforcements, they should have said so earlier.

But turning his head, he saw Xu Jin's serious and solemn expression.

In an instant, he realized something, and his expression also changed.

"Vice Academician Xu, the one outside, is not a reinforcement?" Lou Zhi asked.

"No."

Xu Jin shook his head.

Lou Zhi's heart sank suddenly, but he still forced a smile, "The enemy of an enemy is a friend. After all, they are killing the Lord Tianyang Star Palace's Eighth-Tier experts."

"That's right, but I'm more worried that after they kill the Lord Tianyang Star Palace's Eighth-Tier experts, they will turn around and slaughter us all as well," Xu Jin said.

"That's not very likely, right." Lou Zhi's expression was already incomparably ugly; he had already figured it out.

"Otherwise, why would the Cangming Star Palace's experts help us out of the kindness of their hearts?" Xu Jin added.

"Then... then should we use teleportation to retreat urgently?" In his eagerness, Lou Zhi's words were somewhat stuttering. "The battle is almost over, how many can we take away?"

Just during this exchange, outside the Star-Plucking Tower branch building, the two Seventh-Tier experts had already been killed.
