Chapter 782: Chapter 317: Defense Breached_2
Because the cost of upgrading a Star-picking Order was extrely high, most of the Star-picking Orders were two-star, and only a few people possessed three-star Star-picking Orders, while those with four-star and five-star Star-picking Orders were even rarer.
In the present world, there were Star-picking Towers in various states and counties, and basically as long as one possessed a Second-tier Star-picking Order, unless they were deep in the wilderness, they would not find themselves outside the coverage area.
But on the Galaxy Battlefield, it was different.
For example, between the Da Chen Battle City and Xingyang Battle City, the distance was a whopping five thousand miles. If one held a two-star Star-picking Order, within a four hundred-mile radius of both Da Chen Battle City and Xingyang Battle City, it was safe; but the four thousand miles in between were signal blind spots.
It was practically a no-man’s land.
Even if one possessed a three-star Star-picking Order, between the two cities, the coverage range of the towers was only 1,200 miles, leaving 3,800 miles as signal blind spots.
Those 3,800 miles were dangerous territories.
Sowhat like the uninhabited zones of the previous world.
Thus, most cultivators traveled in groups when they set out.
This was also one of the fundantal reasons why rcenary squads and gangs road rampant on the Galaxy Battlefield—group survival!
To the veterans, Xu Jin’s solo travel seed rather rash.
Xu Jin wanted to find companions too, but after so many experiences, he had long decided that he would rather go without than settle for less!
Xu Jin harbored too many secrets, and those unworthy of trust were nothing but burdens and trouble.
After flying at the speed of a normal Fourth-Tier Early-Period cultivator for two hours, Xu Jin had already traveled 1,400 miles away from Xingyang Battle City, well out of the safe zone. However, no other cultivators had followed him from behind.
He wondered if his fishing attempt had failed.
If these people weren’t scheming against him, then what was the point of shadowing him all this ti?
Just as he was puzzled, suddenly, two Fifth-Rank Cultivators rapidly traversed the stars from behind, one of whom radiated an aura that was unmistakably Zheng Guan’s.
This was another advantage of the Mingji Star Pattern; as long as Xu Jin had t soone before, he could quickly identify their aura.
Two breaths later, Xu Jin detected a third aura.
The third one was concealed; it belonged to Ma.
These people were indeed cautious in their actions!
Xu Jin initially thought they would play so sort of act, but unexpectedly, they were very direct.
After closing to within a hundred ters of Xu Jin, the two Fifth Ranks accelerated instantly, one ahead and one behind, surrounding Xu Jin and forcing him to stop.
“Qi, hand over your Star-picking Order, the Starlight, and all the treasures on you, and we will spare your life!” Liu, a Fifth Rank Sixth Layer, blocked Xu Jin’s path and demanded straightaway.
Simultaneously, the auras of Liu, at Fifth Rank Sixth Layer, and Zheng Guan at Fifth-order Ninth-layer, locked onto Xu Jin.
Almost the mont Liu roared, Xu Jin’s figure did not stop; the Fish Curtain Golden Bell rose in an instant, and he burst towards Liu.
Fla Light erupted at the sa ti, and to everyone’s surprise, Xu Jin took the initiative to attack first.
“Seeking death…”
The word ‘death’ had just left his mouth when a purple fist-sized Fla Light fiercely bombarded Liu. The mont it appeared, it had already engulfed Liu, who was of the Fifth Rank Sixth Layer.
Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its might.
The mont Xu Jin made his move, he had already pushed the Eighth Tier Middle Fire Origin Star Pattern, the Red Dragon Ring, the Fifth-rank Lower Fire Spirit Heart, and the Ritual Officer Star Core to their limits.
With multiple enhancents, Xu Jin, who was now at the Fourth Tier Third Layer in Cultivation Level, took the initiative to launch a surprise attack. In an instant, Liu of the Fifth Rank Sixth Layer was engulfed.
Instant kill!
Zheng Guan, who was behind, was stunned, and Ma, who was in stealth, was so scared that he almost revealed himself.
In that mont, Zheng Guan hesitated.
To flee or continue?
If he continued, he wasn’t very confident of victory.
He didn’t have the ability to kill Liu in one blow, even with a surprise attack.
But this kid in front of him…
However, the next instant did not leave Zheng Guan any ti to think.
Because Xu Jin had turned around and was already killing his way towards him.
And it was Xu Jin who had thoroughly bared his fangs.
Thunder Wing appeared in an instant; with just one flicker of Thunder Wing, Xu Jin had returned to kill in front of Zheng Guan.
Xu Jin did not use his Divine Soul to attack.
Zheng Guan was the first Fifth-order Ninth-layer expert Xu Jin had encountered on the Galaxy Battlefield.
At this very mont, Xu Jin wanted to have a frontal confrontation.
Because all along, whether it was the teachings at the National Taoist Institute, or the guidance of several ntors, or even folk tales, they all stated one thing.
That was the Combat Power of the experts on the Galaxy Battlefield was higher than that of the cultivators in the present world.
Many strong individuals from the present world, after undergoing trials on the Galaxy Battlefield, would return with greatly improved strength.
At this very mont, Xu Jin wanted to use Zheng Guan as a benchmark to test his own strength.
At the sa instant, Zheng Guan and the invisible Ma were urgently communicating.
“Ma, this kid is pretending to be a pig in order to eat a tiger, but he doesn’t know you’re here! Our only chance of victory now is for to hold him off from the front, and you launch a surprise attack—a fatal blow.
This kid, judging by his performance, is definitely the fattest sheep among the flock!” Zheng Guan communicated.
“Okay!” Ma, who was invisible, had also made up his mind.
The next instant, green and earthy yellow Starlight swept up, bombarding Xu Jin.
Xu Jin did not rush to counterattack but instead used the Fish Curtain Golden Bell to take the hits.
Just one strike caused nurous ripples to appear on Xu Jin’s Fish Curtain Golden Bell!
After two strikes, fine cracks even began to erge on Xu Jin’s Fish Curtain Golden Bell!
This surprised Xu Jin.
This Zheng Guan of the Fifth-order Ninth-layer was indeed strong.
Previously, in the Star Domain, many Early-Period Sixth-tier mbers of the Alien Races did not possess the attacking power of Zheng Guan.
