Jiang Changkong thought for a moment, then said, "Brother has an immature idea."
Ji Ziling asked curiously, "Let's hear it. What idea?"
"How about we lure over a huge pack of Star Demons and have them help with the killing?"
Jiang Changkong lowered his voice. "When I went to drink by the river before, I saw blood energy shooting into the sky and a lot of Star Demon corpses, which drew countless Star Demons over. If we lure that many over too, then mix a special Star Demon in among them, will Zhang Hua make a move?"
"Then Zhang Hua will definitely make a move," Ji Ziling said. After a pause, she asked in confusion, "But where are we supposed to get a special Star Demon?"
"The special Star Demon you've been discussing is actually me."
Jiang Changkong said expressionlessly, "I was hiding behind the killer and took that round ball."
"You took the Star Smoke Ball? You're the special Star Demon?"
Ji Ziling stared at him in astonishment. "Are they idiots? They mistook you for a special Star Demon?"
Jiang Changkong shrugged. "Looking at it now, there's no difference between them and idiots."
At the time, he had used the Star Demons to hide himself. The other side could only see a human silhouette, so it was no surprise they had guessed wrong.
"Then we'll do it," Ji Ziling decided.
"This move is very dangerous, but I can guarantee I'll get out smoothly."
Jiang Changkong said in a low voice, "I'm already Late Nebula Level now. Even Mid Nebula Level Star Demons can't break my defense. With the Primordial Martial Compass as well, I'll have no problem escaping."
Ji Ziling squeezed his arm and clicked her tongue. "What a shame you don't practice the Sunflower Manual."
Jiang Changkong: "..."
Now that just killed the mood.
"Then it's settled. Don't worry about me and Yanxue. If we work together, retreating won't be a problem."
Ji Ziling said confidently.
The two then discussed the details of the operation before leaving to act.
Jiang Changkong went to slaughter a Star Demon, chopped off its claws, skinned it, and wrapped the hide around himself.
He stuck both hands into the claws, disguising them as Star Demon claws, while the Star Demon hide covered his body tightly from head to toe.
Once he had finished dressing up, Jiang Changkong rushed to where Ji Ziling was.
The glittering round ball was called the Star Smoke Ball. After it was burned, it released golden smoke that attracted Star Demons.
That rich fragrance was extremely attractive to special Star Demons.
At that moment, there were already over a dozen Star Demons around the Star Smoke Ball.
They were all at Star Qi Peak, so Jiang Changkong did not make a move.
Sensing Jiang Changkong's figure, Ji Ziling suddenly flicked her hand, and over a dozen streams of sword qi flew out.
Thud, thud...
Over a dozen Star Demons died at the same time, fresh blood gurgling out.
"Senior, what are you doing?" Huang Mingye jumped in fright.
Ji Ziling said expressionlessly, "Testing a new martial art. Not very ideal."
Huang Mingye opened his mouth, but did not dare say anything. Sensibly, he shut up.
Those Star Demons' deaths would not affect anything.
Before long, a few more Star Demons arrived. Several more streaks of sword qi flew out, and the Star Demons died again.
"Senior..."
Huang Mingye's expression turned ugly.
"Junior, you have to understand that martial arts must be honed at every moment."
Ji Ziling said earnestly, "And you also have to choose the right martial art. Judging by your talent, it's not that terribly poor, yet you're only at Early Nebula Level. Isn't that embarrassing?"
Huang Mingye's face flushed red, but he endured it.
A super top student. He couldn't afford to provoke her.
Ying Yanxue's expression was cold. She did not speak, only watched.
Close to twenty Star Demons had left the blood energy thick and dense, the stench of blood spreading through the air.
Jiang Changkong did not move. He was staring at the Primordial Martial Compass.
Ji Ziling was in a very good mood, speaking in a guiding tone. "Junior, have you ever thought about switching to another martial art?"
"No." Huang Mingye's face twitched.
Ji Ziling said with a hint of temptation, "What if this martial art could let you improve quickly?"
"Wh-what martial art?" Huang Mingye was somewhat tempted.
If he could improve quickly, he would not mind switching to another method.
Ji Ziling said solemnly, "The Sunflower Manual, according to my deductions, can train big pecs and long legs."
"??"
Huang Mingye looked utterly confused.
Ying Yanxue's cool expression stiffened slightly, and a faint blush appeared.
Was she recommending this to Jiang Changkong? Could she recommend it to someone else instead?
Rustle, rustle.
Suddenly, the sound of weeds being flattened came over, and the ground trembled slightly.
Quite a few Star Demons were coming!
"Oh no, senior, there's a huge swarm of Star Demons. We shouldn't have killed it."
Huang Mingye's expression changed drastically as he spoke in terror.
The Star Smoke Ball's lure was already strong, and with this stench of blood on top of it, they probably would not be able to hold out!
Boom!
Suddenly, a mass of golden Star Power shot out, and a figure rushed swiftly toward the Star Smoke Ball.
"Look, a special humanoid Star Demon!" Ji Ziling suddenly cried out.
"A special Star Demon! Hurry and catch him." Huang Mingye's eyes instantly went red.
The humanoid Star Demon seemed to be startled. It ignored the Star Smoke Ball, turned around, and fled.
"I'll go cut it off."
Ying Yanxue and Ji Ziling charged out at the same time.
Huang Mingye took out his phone and called Zhang Hua.
Boom!
Sword energy scattered everywhere, Star Power wove together, and a beastly roar came from far away.
Huang Mingye's face lit up. Had they stopped it?
He was going to make a contribution. Once they obtained the special Star Stone, Zhang Hua would definitely reward him.
After sending the notice, Huang Mingye stood where he was and waited, not going over.
His strength was too poor. He could not help, and he might even be seized upon by a Star Demon and killed.
Roar!
The Star Demon over there roared again and again, and the stench of blood also grew stronger and stronger.
More and more Star Demons were being drawn over.
They fought for more than fifteen minutes before Zhang Hua finally arrived with his men. "Where is the special Star Demon?"
"It's fighting right now. The two seniors are stopping it," Huang Mingye hurriedly said.
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Hua led his men and charged over.
Cao Ye was there too, and everyone else had all rushed over.
"Don't run!"
With a light shout, Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue retreated instead of advancing, and even spat out a mouthful of blood.
They watched helplessly as that Star Demon burrowed into the swarm of Star Demons.
"What a powerful special Star Demon. Was what it used just now a special skill? It actually managed to rebound the force and injure us."
The two of them looked horrified.
Zhang Hua happened to see the special Star Demon vanish. Hearing those words now, he nearly passed out from excitement.
He shouted again and again, "Kill! We have to get that special Star Stone."
A rebound skill?
It could injure two super top students!
If he obtained it, then among the school's super top students, who would still be his match?
He would be number one!
Rumble!
The ground heaved, and dozens of Star Demons burst out at once. The strongest was at the Mid Nebula Level.
"This is the special Star Demon's squad, its subordinates. They've come to save it," Ji Ziling cried out in alarm.
"What are you still standing there for? We absolutely can't let the special Star Demon get away!"
Zhang Hua roared and was the first to charge forward.
A bunch of idiots!
Ji Ziling sneered inwardly. You'd find out soon enough—this was an army of Star Demons.
Jiang Changkong had waited for so long; the blood energy and the Star Smoke Ball had drawn far more than a few dozen Star Demons.
When they had attacked just now, they had also been killing Star Demons. Dozens of them were lying on the ground right now.
Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue took the chance to retreat. There was no helping it—they were injured, so they would leave the rest to you.
Of course, they did not go far. They merely fell back to the rear to slack off.
She glanced at a backpack, then, while the others were focused on killing Star Demons and no one was paying attention, kicked it away.
These people all had Star Stones in their backpacks; it was only a question of how many.
Jiang Changkong entered the swarm of Star Demons, then quickly withdrew, snatched up the backpacks, and moved away from the battlefield.
While he was at it, he also took the Star Smoke Ball away. It still had half its essence, energy, and spirit left; he could not waste it.
Then he circled around to another area. Even if the Star Smoke Ball had been taken away, the Star Demons would not leave for a while.
