Chapter 544: Great Omen

"Protector, it has been counted; a total of five people are missing: the Right Protector, the primordial spirit of the former Blood Moon Army Lord, and three seventh-tier experts on duty at the City Lord's Mansion—two mid-seventh-tier and one late-seventh-tier, all of whom were elites of the Blood God Guards," reported the new Blood Moon Army Lord, Zuo Zhu.

The Left Protector Fan Kai's expression became increasingly ugly.

Two eighth-tier combat powers were just gone like that. Although the Right Protector Lin Mingshi could still live, in Fan Kai's view, he was already ruined for the short term.

There were also three seventh-tier experts, all of whom were the backbone of the Blood God Guards.

More importantly, there was one point the Left Protector Fan Kai could not figure out.

Previously, this peerless genius of the human race from the present world raided the City Lord's Mansion; the reason or the other party's goal could still be found, which was to seize the Thousand Star Token.

Then what about this time?

What was it for?

Could it be using such tactics to weaken the Blood God Sect's strength?

If so...

The moment the Left Protector Fan Kai felt a chill in his heart, a wisp of divine sense suddenly came from the drop of Right Protector Lin Mingshi's divine pattern essence blood that had already fallen into his palm.

"Is it safe now?" It was the Right Protector Lin Mingshi's terrified voice.

"It is safe," the Left Protector Fan Kai replied helplessly.

"Then find a safe place, I will drive the Blood-Dripping Divine..."

Boom!

Terrifying thunder light suddenly exploded in the eastern direction of Blood Moon City, instantly attracting the attention of all the eighth-tier experts of the Blood God Sect.

The Left Protector Fan Kai's expression changed drastically again.

Suddenly, he understood what the goal of this peerless genius of the human race from the present world was; it was to weaken the Blood God Sect's strength.

He had already thought of it just now, but he had been interrupted by the Right Protector Lin Mingshi's divine sense.

Almost simultaneously, a crowd of eighth-tier Blood God Sect experts soared into the sky, rushing toward the direction where the thunder light exploded.

It was not far, only less than three thousand meters, a distance of five or six miles.

With their speed, under full explosion, they would arrive in half a breath.

But within this half-breath of time, the thunder light boomed into a piece, and two five-colored thunder lights even exploded and shot out like spider webs.

The moment before they arrived, under emergency deployment, the Left Protector Fan Kai had already begun to drive majestic star power to shake the space, and the blood lines in the Punishment Hall Elder Mu Geng's palm had already bounced and danced like poisonous snakes.

This was the Blood God Sect's star art, Soul-Locking Silk, which could lock a person's soul through the physical body. Originally, it was just an auxiliary secret art, but the soul of the person being locked would be pulled away from the spot, achieving the effect of restricting Spatial star arts in disguise, and it had always been used by the Blood God Sect to restrain Spatial star arts.

The goal was only one, and that was to restrict this assassin from using Spatial star arts to escape.

The Left Protector Fan Kai had already decided that this time, as long as they restricted him, even if he had to risk his life, he would leave this person behind.

Otherwise, under this person's operation, the crowd of Blood God Sect experts would either become conjoined twins or not sleep at all.

It was just that his abacus was calculated beautifully, but before Xu Jin struck, he had already calculated this point.

The moment he saw the large piece of starlight rushing toward him at high speed, he did not hesitate to drive the Seven Killings Escaping Dragon Stake he had deployed in advance, rapidly fleeing outside the city. The next instant, majestic spatial fluctuations rose, and Xu Jin's figure disappeared again.

By the time the Left Protector Fan Kai and others chased to the location of the residual spatial fluctuations outside the city, Xu Jin's figure was long gone.

Wanting to chase the murderer, but the wilderness was vast, where to chase?

By the time the Left Protector Fan Kai returned to the scene of the incident in the east of the city, the expressions of several elders were quite ugly.

"Protector, the Iron Blood Army Lord Ge Qing died in battle... his soul and spirit were destroyed! Besides that, this person killed two seventh-tier experts and eleven sixth-tier experts in an extremely short time just now, and three seventh-tier experts were heavily injured," the Ministry of War Elder Jiang Zu reported in a deep voice.

Listening to this report, the Left Protector Fan Kai had a feeling of scalp numbness.

From the moment they discovered this assassin striking to the time they arrived here, it was only about one and a half breaths, right?

Within one and a half breaths, he had killed one eighth-tier expert, two seventh-tier experts, and eleven sixth-tier experts.

If this guy were allowed to continue ravaging like this, how many more times could the Blood God Sect's eighth-tier experts be killed by him?

Within a short half-hour, in three waves of attacks, their Blood God Sect had lost three eighth-tier experts and five seventh-tier experts.

How many eighth-tier experts did the Blood God Sect have in total!

For a time, the Left Protector Fan Kai had a massive headache.

What was even more fatal was that he was also extremely afraid that this guy would come again.

It could be seen that this infiltrator had an extremely brilliant tracking-concealment star art.

He could infiltrate Blood Moon City without anyone knowing, and could use Spatial star arts to leave in an extremely short time.

He also had a Thunder-type star art with terrifying power that could kill an early-eighth-tier powerhouse in two strikes.

This troublesome energy directly made the Left Protector Fan Kai feel a massive headache.

"Qi Shanye," the Left Protector Fan Kai suddenly shouted.

"Subordinate is here," said Qi Shanye, who had been promoted to Deputy Army Lord of the Blood Moon Army.

"Qi Shanye, in this world, when it comes to tracking-concealment star arts, your Spirit Discipline Star Palace's invisibility secret art should be number one. Then how does your Spirit Discipline Star Palace internally defend against this kind of extremely brilliant tracking-concealment star art?" the Left Protector Fan Kai asked.

"Returning to Protector, our Spirit Discipline Star Palace defends against tracking-concealment secret arts usually by shrinking the portals and sending those with powerful souls to stand guard, or by large-scale warning arrays, or by uninterrupted soul power or star power sweeping.

No matter how brilliant the tracking-concealment secret art is, under these various means, it cannot hide," Qi Shanye replied.

"With Blood Moon City's defense, what do you think should be done?" Fan Kai asked.

Hearing this, Qi Shanye showed a difficult expression, "Protector, Blood Moon City is too big, and it is open-ended. If we organize soldiers to patrol day and night, and constantly sweep with star power and soul power during patrols, we can also defend, but it is not necessarily completely effective."

Fan Kai was silent upon hearing this.

Blood Moon City had a warning grand array, but whether this warning grand array could defend against tracking-concealment methods was hard to say.

The key was that Blood Moon City was too big; this warning grand array was fine to open occasionally, but if it were opened for a long time, the consumption was something even the Blood God Sect could not support.

"Since this assassin's goal is the elites of my Blood God Sect, then shrink the defense line, only open the inner city's warning grand array, and concentrate all elites above the fifth tier in the inner city, ready to wait for orders at any time," said the Ministry of Industry Elder Jiang Zu.

"Then execute it like that for the time being."

After finishing, after explaining the defense matters, Fan Kai took Right Protector Lin Mingshi's drop of divine pattern essence blood and went to the City Lord's Mansion.

Not long after, the Right Protector Lin Mingshi was resurrected again.

But this resurrection made the Right Protector Lin Mingshi wither a circle, and his aura became even more listless.

In his eyes, there was not even any spirit or energy left.

The main reason was that the loss was too great.

It was just that when he was killed previously, his star power cultivation had barely recovered to the eighth tier, and after being killed again, his cultivation fell by another major realm.

His cultivation was only at the first layer of the seventh tier.

First layer of the seventh tier!

What was even more fatal was that his soul cultivation had also fallen by a major realm.

Originally, his soul cultivation had already reached the mid-stage of the fifth-tier primordial spirit under the accumulation of massive heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

At this very moment, his soul cultivation fell directly to the sixth layer of the fourth tier.

Half an hour ago, he was in the mid-stage of the primordial spirit, with late-eighth-tier star power cultivation, one of the top powerhouses in the world.

Half an hour later, first layer of the seventh tier, soul cultivation fell to the sixth layer of the fourth tier.

Let alone being top-tier currently, even within the Blood God Sect, he could not even be ranked.

One could imagine how great the psychological gap was.

"What kind of hatred, what kind of grudge! This assassin, why does he keep staring at me to kill!" The resurrected Right Protector Lin Mingshi sensed his cultivation after resurrection, and his fingers began to tremble with anger.

Although he survived, half a lifetime of hard work had all returned to zero!

As soon as these words came out, the Left Protector Fan Kai's heart moved.

"Think carefully, among the humans of the present world, do you have that kind of mortal enemy?" the Left Protector Fan Kai asked.

"Mortal enemy? There are simply too many. I have broken countless families and destroyed countless gates along the way. Heaven knows which family's fish that escaped the net will grow up," Lin Mingshi said angrily, "The key is my cultivation. To grow to the previous level, how many heavenly materials and earthly treasures were consumed?

But now, however..."

"It doesn't matter, the realm is still there, all you need is resources!

Pile it up for a year or two, and your cultivation will be able to fully recover."

After finishing, Fan Kai handed a bottle of Myriad Spirit Blood Pills to Lin Mingshi, "You accelerate the recovery of your cultivation."

"Wait!" Lin Mingshi suddenly stopped Fan Kai, who was about to leave.

"What is it?"

"Why don't you arrange two to three eighth-tier experts to guard here? I am a little worried."

"Worried?"

"If it really is my mortal enemy, I am afraid he will come again!" Lin Mingshi said.

"This..."

At this thought, the Left Protector Fan Kai suddenly had an idea.

At a temporary cave opened three hundred miles outside Blood Moon City, Xu Jin, who had been sleeping for a quarter of an hour, had just woken up. The first thing he did upon waking was to contact his martial uncle, Mo Ji.

【Martial Uncle, has your soul control been lifted?】

Martial Uncle Mo Ji's soul was most likely controlled by the Right Protector Lin Mingshi. Xu Jin returned to kill again, and solving Lin Mingshi's primordial spirit was to verify this point.

If it was not, then Martial Uncle Mo Ji's soul was controlled by someone else.

【It has not been lifted, but just when you killed Lin Mingshi, there was a violent fluctuation. My soul fluctuation, within that breath of time, rapidly disintegrated quite a bit.

At least half disintegrated, but it was not completely lifted.】 Mo Ji said.

Hearing this, Xu Jin's brows furrowed slightly; this situation was somewhat strange.

【Teacher, has Lin Mingshi resurrected again?】 Xu Jin asked.

【He has resurrected, but his cultivation has fallen to the first layer of the seventh tier. In a short time, he has no threat.】 Qi Shanye gave Xu Jin the answer.

With the successive deaths of three eighth-tier experts, Qi Shanye was directly brought close to the core decision-making circle of the Blood God Sect. Although there was no way to become a decision-maker, the core dynamics could not be hidden from Qi Shanye.

After all, in the view of the Left Protector Fan Kai, Qi Shanye, whose soul was controlled by him, as an enemy of the present world, could be completely trusted.

After communicating for a while through the Mandarin Duck Seal, Xu Jin had already figured out the situation.

Martial Uncle Mo Ji's soul was indeed controlled by the Right Protector Lin Mingshi.

Why did only half disintegrate? The reason was also very simple.

The soul imprint was laid down by Right Protector Lin Mingshi's soul.

At the instant Right Protector Lin Mingshi's primordial spirit was blasted to death, Lin Mingshi's soul was in a state of extinction, so the soul imprint within Martial Uncle Mo Ji's primordial spirit began to disintegrate rapidly.

But after one breath, the Blood God Sect's Blood-Dripping Divine Pattern that Lin Mingshi practiced played a role, and he began to drip blood to be reborn.

Xu Jin had learned about the role of the Blood-Dripping Divine Pattern through several Blood God Sons; it seemed to be dripping blood to be reborn, but in reality, the first thing to be reborn was the soul.

After Lin Mingshi's soul was reborn, the soul imprint within Martial Uncle Mo Ji's primordial spirit had a place for power to be maintained again.

The relationship between this soul imprint and the soul was actually the relationship between a clone and the main body.

If the main body exists, the clone can exist.

Under these circumstances, Martial Uncle Mo Ji's soul imprint only dissipated by half.

It seems that this Right Protector Lin Mingshi must be killed one more time to solve Martial Uncle Mo Ji's soul control.

【Jin Er, I suggest you don't come for a short time. Fan Kai and the others' vigilance against you has reached the extreme.】

【It doesn't matter, I will act according to circumstances, besides, there are you guys cooperating with me.】

Qi Shanye did not persuade him anymore; the strength Xu Jin currently displayed was no longer something he could understand, and he could only let Xu Jin decide for himself.

What he could do was to check for omissions and fill in the gaps for Xu Jin and cooperate.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin once again sneaked near Blood Moon City under the night.

Although there were Iron Blood Army soldiers constantly patrolling and sweeping the patrolled areas with star power inside and outside Blood Moon City.

But in Xu Jin's view, the entire Blood Moon City was still a huge sieve.

The area of Blood Moon City was too big.

Not long after, Xu Jin successfully sneaked into Blood Moon City.

【Teacher, why haven't I found any eighth-tier aura other than the two eighth-tier experts patrolling outside?】 Xu Jin asked suspiciously.

【I don't know either. A quarter of an hour ago, except for those two eighth-tier experts patrolling together, I haven't seen any other eighth-tier expert. The Left Protector and several elders haven't shown their faces either.

You must be careful, I feel they have a conspiracy.

Right Protector Lin Mingshi is currently cultivating in the east courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion. I suggest you give up the action; Fan Kai will not fall for the same trick twice.】 Qi Shanye said.

Indeed, Xu Jin also smelled the scent of a trap.

He felt that those two eighth-tier experts, and Lin Mingshi cultivating in the east courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, were baits released by Fan Kai.

This kind of bait was poisonous.

However, Xu Jin did not give up immediately.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin sneaked near the outer wall of the City Lord's Mansion's east courtyard, driving the Bright Discipline Star Pattern to sense carefully, and indeed found Lin Mingshi's aura and position, but only two seventh-tier experts were guarding.

Not a single eighth-tier expert.

But what was even more strange was that there was not a single eighth-tier expert inside or outside the City Lord's Mansion and its surroundings.

This was strange?

The next instant, Xu Jin found a civilian house, directly controlled the Blood God Sect people inside using the Dream Warmth, and then drove the Bright Discipline Star Pattern on the spot, drawing upon the Heaven and Earth Authority of the Eight Desolations Continent's Great World.

In an instant, the Eye of Overview was activated.

The moment the Eye of Overview was activated, Xu Jin cast his gaze over the entire Blood Moon City.

Under the Eye of Overview, the positions of the eighth-tier auras within Blood Moon City appeared clearly in Xu Jin's eyes one by one.

The moment he saw it clearly, Xu Jin was instantly shocked into a cold sweat.

It really was a trap.

Inside Blood Moon City, there were a total of thirteen eighth-tier experts.

Five eighth-tier experts, including the strongest two late-eighth-tier auras, were all guarding not far from the Right Protector Lin Mingshi.

He did not know what secret art they used to conceal their auras, but Xu Jin had not sensed it with the Bright Discipline Star Pattern before.

But under the Eye of Overview, they appeared.

Another six eighth-tier experts were also hidden around the two eighth-tier experts patrolling in the inner city of Blood Moon City.

Moreover, Lin Mingshi's position and the position of the two patrolling eighth-tier experts were always kept at about a thousand meters.

Other eighth-tier experts were right in the middle.

As long as something happened at any point, the eighth-tier experts ambushed in batches could surround the target in an instant.

Another batch of eighth-tier experts could also arrive in less than half a breath.

Then encircle and annihilate.

At the same time, Xu Jin also saw that a large number of sixth-tier and seventh-tier experts were concentrated on the grand array of the Blood Blade Array from before.

The Blood Blade Array could be activated at any time.

It seemed that the Left Protector Fan Kai was really fishing.

In order to deal with Xu Jin and solve the hidden danger of Xu Jin, he really exhausted his mind.

Seeing this lineup, Xu Jin originally wanted to leave and temporarily avoid the edge.

But before leaving, his heart suddenly moved.

Why not use their own trick against them?

However, under the trick of using their own trick against them, many preparations still had to be done well.

Especially the Seven Killings Escaping Dragon Stake!

A quarter of an hour later, while those two eighth-tier experts patrolling above Blood Moon City were patrolling, suddenly, terrifying five-colored thunder light blasted down from the sky!

Boom!

The two eighth-tier experts who had been preparing for battle and guarding with full force for half an hour, the moment the thunder sound appeared, did not hesitate to defend with full force, throwing out all kinds of life-saving treasures to deal with that five-element divine thunder blasting toward them.

Almost simultaneously, the auras of another six eighth-tier experts suddenly emerged, surrounding and killing Xu Jin, who had just revealed his aura.

Starlight had already blasted toward Xu Jin in concentrated fire.

At the same instant, five terrifying starlights soared into the sky, rushing toward this place.

Swish!

Five-fold Flowing Flicker!

The ear-piercing sound barrier exploded, and a golden light flashed. The head of that early-eighth-tier expert who had just barely withstood that five-element divine thunder exploded like a watermelon.

The moment the primordial spirit prototype emerged, it was blasted into nothingness by a thunder light!

The extreme speed also flashed past the first wave of concentrated fire.

"How bold, you actually still dare to come!"

Swish!

During the roar, the Left Protector Fan Kai had already driven the blood blade, drawing a blood-colored lightning bolt across the sky, slashing down toward the revealed Xu Jin.

Two eighth-tier elders who arrived, one shook the void, and one used the Soul-Locking Silk to entangle Xu Jin, intending to restrict Xu Jin from using Spatial star arts to escape.

But what surprised everyone was that this time, their target did not use Spatial star arts to escape.

During the rapid vibration of the thunder wings, the terrifying sound barrier that made people feel nauseous continued incessantly.

After killing an eighth-tier expert, his speed did not decrease at all, and he rushed directly toward outside the city at high speed.

The blood blade slashing toward him chased behind Xu Jin, and amidst the constant expansion of the blood light, it was ultimately unable to keep up with Xu Jin's five-fold Flowing Flicker speed, and it missed!

"Chase! Stop him for me!"

A crowd of eighth-tier experts also chased toward Xu Jin like lightning.

Even the Left Protector Fan Kai drove the blood blade and chased madly toward outside the city.

It was simply too disgusting.

If such an enemy were not killed, who would dare to sleep!

Chasing out for only one breath, just after chasing out of the city, the shadow of the thunder light flickering in front suddenly disappeared!

Spatial star art!

Chased and lost again!

The Left Protector Fan Kai waved the blood blade twice in hatred, but the next instant, his expression suddenly became miserable.

"Not good, return quickly!"

Boom!

The thunder light had already blasted in the City Lord's Mansion of Blood Moon City, and it was the kind that blasted continuously.

For the distance of four thousand meters, it only took the Left Protector one breath to rush back.

But what he saw was a ruin emitting blue smoke.

The east courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion had turned into a ruin again.

Under the ruins, everything turned to ash.

Right Protector Lin Mingshi's figure and aura disappeared again.

At this instant, the Left Protector Fan Kai was so depressed that he wanted to vomit blood.

At the same time, Xu Jin, who had just left Blood Moon City using the Seven Killings Escaping Dragon Stake, suddenly felt an indescribable sense of crisis in his heart!

The Bright Discipline Star Pattern flickered to the extreme as if it were exploding!

Omen!

Great Omen!
