Chapter 552: Heavy Losses

Watching the target escape a second before he arrived, the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, who had just arrived, roared, "Trash!"

"Where is Jin Kui? Why didn't he seal off space?"

Only one second off!

If Jin Kui had sealed off space, with his strength, he could have dragged the target down or even killed him; even if there were previous trump cards, he wouldn't be afraid.

As long as space was sealed, he would drag the target for another five or six seconds, and the other Eighth-Tier, including Ju Chang, would arrive.

By then, the target would have no wings to fly.

He could definitely be captured alive!

Facing the roar of the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, the remaining five middle Eighth-Tier alien races simultaneously revealed expressions of relief and ease.

This human was too terrifying.

In just seven or eight seconds, he had finished off two middle Eighth-Tier and killed the late Eighth-Tier Jin Kui.

Especially when killing those two middle Eighth-Tier, it was too easy.

It made them all feel lingering fear!

"Great King!"

A sorrowful cry sounded on the ground, and they saw the primordial spirit of the late Eighth-Tier powerhouse Jin Kui rushing into the sky, carrying a charred spherical object, with a sorrowful face, but the lively eyes of the primordial spirit were full of fear!

Envoy Ju Zhang froze instantly!

After a moment of being stunned, he reacted; Jin Kui had been slashed, and the black spherical bead he was carrying was his own head!

"Great King, save me!"

At the same time, the embryonic primordial spirit of another slashed Eighth-Tier alien race rose tremblingly from the ground; because it was only an embryonic primordial spirit, having lost its physical body, the primordial spirit had already begun to dissipate slowly.

Envoy Ju Zhang turned stern in an instant.

One person facing seven Eighth-Tier, two late Eighth-Tier, being able to kill three Eighth-Tier and still retreat completely.

How did the strength of this human thief feel like it had improved again?

Or was it that he didn't exert himself last time?

Then now, where did he run to?

Or?

The moment he thought of a certain possibility, Envoy Ju Zhang mobilized the Heaven and Earth Authority for the first time to sense Xu Jin's location.

In a large range, because there were too many living beings, Envoy Ju Zhang could not lock onto the target's location using the Heaven and Earth Authority.

But in this small range, there was only one human aura at the peak of the Sixth-Tier Ninth Layer, and the Heaven and Earth Authority could find it immediately.

The first moment he sensed it, Envoy Ju Zhang was stunned!

He found the target's aura.

However, the World Origin Will of the Eight Desolations Continent did not actually repel this human's aura.

At this moment, Envoy Ju Zhang didn't have much time to think about the reason for this.

The moment the Heaven and Earth Authority he mobilized sensed Xu Jin's location, he discovered that Xu Jin's location suddenly flashed.

In an instant, this human aura of Xu Jin appeared near the encirclement team in the north.

Extremely close!

In an instant, Envoy Ju Zhang understood Xu Jin's intention!

"Be careful!"

The King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, shouted a warning, but the moment the shout left his mouth, Envoy Ju Zhang realized that he had only sensed this change in location; he wanted to warn, but he had no way to warn directly through the shout.

The next instant, the moment the King of the Eight Desolations' divine sense sank into his Eight Desolations Gold Order, he warned Ju Ling, who was leading the team there.

"Follow me!"

At the same instant, the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, greeted and had already turned into a golden light rushing toward the north.

This location was still one hundred and fifty miles away from that team in the north; at his speed, even at extreme speed, it would take more than ten seconds.

The moment he rushed out, Envoy Ju Zhang had already realized the problem.

His situation seemed to be one of being exhausted from running around.

Previously mobilized by this human, he rushed from the east straight to the location of the southern small team, and now he was being mobilized to rush to the location of the northern small team.

However, he had no choice!

But based on his experience, he knew he had to make adjustments in grand strategy.

Otherwise, by the time he arrived at the small team surrounded in the north, this human might kill toward the south again, or the east team, or the west team.

He would still have to be exhausted from running around!

"Everyone, gather in the direction of the signal I sent!" While running, the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, shook his hand and blasted a golden light into the sky.

The moment the Eighth-Tier from all directions saw this golden light, they quickly gathered in the direction of the golden light.

As long as the golden light continued, they would follow the golden light to charge.

While commanding, Envoy Ju Zhang urgently contacted clan elder Ju Chang, asking him to quickly rush to the northern small team to seal off space.

Space must be sealed off.

Otherwise, this operation would still fail.

Just as Envoy Ju Zhang sent the golden light signal, Xu Jin, who had turned to ambush this northern small team, had already suddenly appeared to ambush.

Under the Running Thunder Slash combined with the spatial star art Void, he had already slashed and killed a middle Eighth-Tier alien race.

Previously, after Xu Jin escaped before Envoy Ju Zhang arrived, he had intended to flee far away.

But the moment he shook off Envoy Ju Zhang, a thought suddenly appeared in his heart.

He activated the Eye of Oversight in an extremely short time to determine the location of the Eighth-Tier alien races chasing him.

Then he did not hesitate to perform the spatial directional shift star art, appearing behind the northern small team, and directly ambushed!

The spatial fluctuations Xu Jin teleported over with had already attracted the attention of the nine Eighth-Tier in the northern small team.

At this time, Xu Jin slashed and killed one of the Eighth-Tier, which also gave the other eight Eighth-Tier in the northern small team time to fire together.

However, Xu Jin had already learned to be very slippery when dealing with these alien races!

The moment the Running Thunder Slash and the Void star art were fired, he didn't even look at the result and directly activated the spatial shift star art.

Everywhere his sight reached was a landing point.

These three star arts could be called seamless, and were performed continuously.

Almost the moment Xu Jin disappeared, the fire-together star arts of the eight Eighth-Tier blasted at Xu Jin's previous location.

Boom!

The moment the Five-Element Running Thunder Slash flew out of Xu Jin's hand, it instantly split into eight.

This was the effect of the Running Thunder Slash plus the chain star pattern.

Because the Running Thunder Slash had slashed and killed a middle Eighth-Tier companion before, this strike made the eight Eighth-Tier extra cautious, each carefully defending.

But the moment they blasted the Running Thunder Slash, they discovered that this strike of the Running Thunder Slash was not as strong as they had imagined.

It seemed to be bluffing!

Xu Jin's battle opportunity was also captured at this moment.

Whew!

Boom!

Under the cooperation of the Mind Blade Burst and the Five-Element Running Thunder Slash, another fine head flew into the sky, only the moment it flew into the sky, it had already turned into charcoal.

Xu Jin swept past like a fish on the ground, and the moment he collected the two corpses into the Sumeru space, he saw the golden light rising continuously in the distance.

Boom!

The chain Five-Element Running Thunder Slash exploded again, and the moment it blocked the remaining six Eighth-Tier, Xu Jin took the opportunity to activate the spatial directional shift star art and disappeared!

Two seconds later, Envoy Ju Zhang, who had arrived, looked at the panicked Eighth-Tier and the two charred heads, a cavity of anger stifled in his chest, unable to explode!

He wanted to scold people, but didn't know how to scold!

Boom!

In the distance, a terrifying muffled thunder sound suddenly rang out again.

The King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, even saw the light of the lightning arc jumping.

"Coming again!"

The King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, opened his eyes wide in anger and instantly rushed to a place fifty or sixty miles away; that should be the end of the team following his order to gather here. The moment he rushed out, he didn't forget to add, "Follow up!"

Five seconds later, Envoy Ju Zhang arrived.

Watching another embryonic primordial spirit carrying its own charred head asking him for help, Envoy Ju Zhang's lungs were almost about to explode with anger!

Since he descended into this world, he had never fought such a stifling battle. Not only did he not touch a single hair of the enemy's leg, but his own people were killed to the point of panic, and six Eighth-Tier had died in battle, including one late Eighth-Tier.

Although one primordial spirit and two embryonic primordial spirits survived, what was the use?

Jin Kui's primordial spirit could still find an Eighth-Tier corpse for him to use, but the embryonic primordial spirits, if not nourished by Fifth or Sixth-Tier spirit medicines for the primordial spirit, would dissipate on their own before long.

This loss was huge!

"Everyone be careful, search for me, and do not exceed twenty miles from me." Envoy Ju Zhang ordered.

His speed reached ten miles per second, and the extreme burst could be even faster.

Twenty miles, he would arrive in an instant.

If this target dared to do the same thing again, he could definitely arrive.

Within two seconds, slashing an Eighth-Tier and then performing a spatial star art to escape was absolutely impossible.

He could trap the target or even kill the target.

Going deeper, the Eighth-Tier he sent out to search were searching, but also bait.

He saw it; this human loved to collect the corpses of their Eight Desolations clan, probably for star cores, and was likely greedy for money, so he would give this human the opportunity to be greedy for money!

It had to be said that the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang's reaction was extremely fast.

The judgment was also extremely accurate.

The response, in fact, had no shortcomings.

It was just that the initial tactics were discovered by Xu Jin in advance.

As for this moment, he indeed judged Xu Jin's goal correctly.

Xu Jin collecting the corpses of the Eighth-Tier alien races he slashed was indeed for star cores.

Not to mention anything else, Eighth-Tier star cores could be exchanged for points for the Thousand Star Order.

Both the Blood God Sect Master and the Great Hong Emperor had a huge group behind them collecting resources for them, but Xu Jin did not.

But Xu Jin had courage and strength.

Eighth-Tier star cores were definitely scarce resources!

It was just that although the King of the Eight Desolations judged Xu Jin's goal correctly, Xu Jin understood another truth—stop when it's enough, greed leads to loss!

So for the third spatial shift ambush, after Xu Jin only slashed and killed one early Eighth-Tier, he did not hesitate to perform the spatial directional shift to flee.

And this time, he did not detour back, but kept fleeing in one direction.

Envoy Ju Zhang had already gathered the Eight Desolations alien races together; rushing over again would be throwing himself into a net.

Moreover, under continuous combat and continuous activation of spatial star arts, Xu Jin's primordial spirit power was consumed quite a bit.

It had already consumed sixty percent.

He could at most perform spatial shifts ten more times.

After performing spatial directional shifts three times in a row, the moment Xu Jin swallowed a Fifth-Tier spirit medicine for the primordial spirit to restore his primordial spirit cultivation, he switched to flying with lightning wings and continued to flee far away.

On the other side, above the strange rock mountain battlefield, after the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, searched for two breaths without result, he mobilized the Heaven and Earth Authority again to sense the target's location.

But he discovered that the target was already three thousand miles away.

At this distance, unless he did nothing and locked onto this aura at all times, otherwise, before long, this aura would be like a drop of water merging into the sea.

If he wanted to find it again, he would have to spend a lot of effort to search slowly!

"Strange, a human, actually not repelled by the Heaven and Earth Will of the Eight Desolations Continent?

How is this possible?" Envoy Ju Zhang had a head full of question marks.

This point was what he most wanted to understand at the moment.

A few breaths later, Envoy Ju Zhang could only gather everyone, take the giant Hu Weng bird again, and chase after Xu Jin.

And the distance between him and Xu Jin's target was already over six thousand miles.

A quarter of an hour later, he had to activate the resonance secret technique to sense it again; after locking onto the location, he chased urgently again.

An hour and a half later, after arriving at the location sensed previously, Envoy Ju Zhang mobilized the Heaven and Earth Authority to sense in all directions, but did not find Xu Jin's aura.

Helpless, he could only activate the resonance secret technique again to sense Xu Jin's location.

Upon sensing, he was extremely depressed.

Xu Jin had moved to five thousand miles to his left at some point, and was still moving at high speed.

Next, unless the target stayed in place and didn't move, he would have the possibility of tracking the target.

In fact, it meant that his second encirclement operation had failed again!

The King of the Eight Desolations looked at the Eighth-Tier behind him, his chest heaving violently, his depression beyond words.

He brought thirty-eight Eighth-Tier when he came.

But at this time, there were only twenty-eight left.

Four were left by him on the battlefield to pull the Sumeru space of the dead.

In this battle, six Eighth-Tier powerhouses died in battle, one early Eighth-Tier, four middle Eighth-Tier, and one late Eighth-Tier.

Among the two dead, they were his Jin Zhu clan members!

Heavy losses!

These were Eighth-Tier!

In the upcoming great war with the current human race, an army of thousands, let alone equipped with six Eighth-Tier, as long as it was equipped with two Eighth-Tier, it could become a fierce tiger on the battlefield.

Equipped with three to four Eighth-Tier, it was enough to turn the entire battlefield upside down.

But now, six Eighth-Tier had been lost!

And one late Eighth-Tier who could perform the spatial sealing star art!

The King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang's heart was dripping blood!

"Great King, this enemy is cunning; why not go back first, and before the next seven-day period arrives, discuss it in the long run." Clan elder Ju Chang suggested.

Hearing this, the King of the Eight Desolations, Envoy Ju Zhang, nodded helplessly.

At present, this was all he could do.

And after going back, he had several questions to contact his father, True Person Jin Shuo, to ask!

He really couldn't understand why the Great World Origin Will of their Eight Desolations Continent of the Eight Desolations Holy Clan did not repel the aura of a current human race!

If he could figure this out, or even crack the possible secret technique, then the difficulty of him tracking this human thief would drop linearly.

As long as he mobilized the Heaven and Earth Authority and borrowed the repulsive force of the Great World, he could quickly lock onto the target's location.

It would be like finding a lion mixed in a group of tigers, seen at a glance!

A few breaths later, Envoy Ju Zhang could only helplessly take his subordinates, pick up the four subordinates who collected the Sumeru space, and then sit on the giant Hu Weng bird, temporarily returning to the Eight Desolations Royal Court.

Aggressive and high-spirited when he came!

Dejected when he returned!

Half an hour later, Xu Jin, who was still flying at high speed, took time to activate the Mingji Star Pattern to sense it.

Everything was normal.

The previous sense of crisis was completely eliminated.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he still didn't dare to stop like this, continued to fly at high speed, and after another hour, Xu Jin ended his escape, found a safe location, and began to review and count the harvest.
