This Damn Well Wasn't a Countershock Skill!

Do It at Night!

It was too dangerous, and all three of them were somewhat unwilling.

If they waited a few days, without the Star Smoke Ball and blood qi, there would be far fewer Star Demons nearby.

When the time came, hunting the special Star Demon would be much easier, and the level of danger would also drop.

In the past, when dealing with special Star Demons, they would first figure out the location of the lair, keep it under watch, and look for a chance to strike.

"We've already delayed for so long. We can't wait anymore."

Zhang Hua's voice sank slightly. "We also have to guard against the others."

"The others?"

The three of them froze and asked in confusion, "What other people?"

Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue exchanged a glance. Could Zhang Hua have discovered Kexiang's people too?

Zhang Hua explained, "I bought this special Star Stone from someone at Late Nebula Level."

One Late Nebula Level cultivator was nothing for them to fear.

But the fact that Zhang Hua could buy one did not mean others could not.

Cao Ye's expression turned grave. "It's very dangerous."

Zhang Hua said slowly, "Have them hold off the other Star Demons. Cao Ye and I will behead the special Star Demon. As for the other two, we'll leave them to you. How about it?"

He had another concern: over the past few days, he had been unable to contact Chen Sanyan.

This made him very uneasy, as if things had slipped beyond his control.

Right now, they had only just discovered the special Star Demon, and only they knew about it.

Previously, he had sent Chen Sanyan out not only to keep a close watch on Zhou Wen, but also with the idea of scouting the area to see if anyone was following them.

But now, Chen Sanyan could no longer be reached.

He suspected that Chen Sanyan had very likely been controlled by someone.

As for death, he had not considered it. Peak Nebula Level was already very strong, and Chen Sanyan was a super top student from the martial arts school.

No one should dare to kill him, except Star Demons.

They had to make their move immediately. Even if someone had followed them here, they had to leave the other side no time to react.

"Although it's dangerous, it's feasible. We'll do as you say."

Cao Ye agreed.

Zhang Hua said, "Cao Ye, go back and call the others. We'll wait here."

Cao Ye left to summon the other students.

Hidden in the dark, Jiang Changkong watched this scene, slightly puzzled.

He was too far away to hear what they were saying.

Judging by the look of it, could they be preparing to act?

Making a move at a time like this? Were they insane?

He looked at his stats, somewhat reluctant.

Over the past few days, his essence, qi, and spirit had only reached just over eleven thousand, and he had put it all into improving Traceless Three Blades.

Although his strength had increased somewhat, it would still be a little difficult to suppress everyone present.

But these people clearly did not intend to drag things out any longer.

In the night sky, a fly watched this scene and transmitted the information out.

Kexiang's people were also rushing over.

An hour and a half passed, and the martial arts school's people finally all arrived.

Looking at the Star Demon still enjoying the Star Smoke Ball, with quite a few Star Demons guarding the surroundings, everyone's expressions were heavy.

"Are we really going to do it now?"

Someone swallowed, a little afraid.

This was practically gambling with their lives!

"The longer the night, the more dreams. Get ready, then we move."

Zhang Hua drew in a breath. He did not dare delay any longer.

Once Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue found out that Chen Sanyan had lost contact...

The consequences would be beyond his control.

Even if those two super top students did not attack him, they would no longer help him.

"Kill!"

At Zhang Hua's command, he was the first to charge out.

Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue exchanged a look, then still made their move.

The four super top students attacked together.

Countless Star Demons were startled and pounced at once.

The other students hurriedly acted, blocking the Star Demons.

The two Peak Nebula Level Star Demons stopped enjoying the Star Smoke Ball and stood in front of the special Star Demon.

Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue turned their sword edges, their sword light intercepting the two Star Demons.

Zhang Hua and Cao Ye faced off against the special Star Demon.

Just as expected, it was perfect.

Starlight pierced the dark night, sword edges sliced through the void, and sword qi stretched like a rainbow.

Boom!

Star Qi collided, and both sides were knocked back at the same time.

Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue faced the Peak Nebula Level Star Demons without falling into a disadvantage.

Zhang Hua and Cao Ye attacked with all their strength, forcing the special Star Demon to retreat again and again, suppressing it.

"Ji#gu%..."

The short figure made a strange sound from its mouth.

Roar!

The surrounding Star Demons seemed to receive a summons. They roared and threw themselves forward in a frenzy.

"End this quickly. Don't give him time to gather Star Demons."

Ji Ziling gave a soft shout, and a golden sword radiance slashed through, tearing apart Star Power and cutting into the Star Demon's body.

Crack!

The Star Demon's scales shattered, and threads of blood seeped out, but it was not serious. It could only count as a superficial wound.

Ying Yanxue's sword rose with a cold gleam. She slashed down, and a wave of icy power spread out, freezing the Star Demon so badly it did not dare approach.

"Kill!"

Zhang Hua and Cao Ye shouted in low voices. Starlight blazed on their swords, dazzling and piercing to the eye.

The special Star Demon let out a low growl, bone-chilling cold radiating from its whole body. Its hands were like sharp blades as it forcibly clashed against the two men's long swords.

Boom!

The two swords fell, scarlet blood flew, and the special Star Demon tumbled away, terror showing in its eyes.

With the two super top students working together, they had completely surpassed it.

Having wounded the special Star Demon, the two men's spirits lifted, and sword light rose again.

"Ji#gu%..."

The special Star Demon made that sound again.

Unfortunately, the two gave him no such chance. Their sword light had already come killing in.

"Roar."

Under the threat of danger, it gave a low roar. A powerful fluctuation of Star Power spread out, and dazzling white light rose around the short Star Demon.

"A recoil skill? If we pull back our swords, that skill is useless."

Zhang Hua sneered, and his sword edge drew inward again.

"Exactly. Special skills consume a lot. The next strike can kill it."

Cao Ye said the same, and the light on his sword vanished.

The short Star Demon could not understand what they were saying. All the dazzling white light blasted out, and bone-chilling cold rushed toward them.

"Wait..."

Their expressions changed abruptly.

In their haste, they could only raise their swords to block.

Boom!

Pfft!

Blood sprayed. The two super top students vomited blood as they flew back, slamming directly into a Star Demon.

Fortunately, this Star Demon had no barbs, only scale armor, and its strength was only at Star Qi Peak. It was sent flying by the impact.

"This..."

The two super top students climbed to their feet, utterly dumbfounded.

What happened to the recoil skill they were promised?

It could freaking switch skills too?

Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue: "..."

What innocent children. Were you trying to make me laugh myself to death and become dinner for the Star Demons?

Roar!

The snarling rose again. The short Star Demon moved like lightning, pouncing straight at the two of them.

The chill around it grew even stronger. Though there was no blinding white light, it was still terrifyingly powerful.

The two of them had just suffered heavy injuries, their blood and qi churning. Trying to block it would be difficult.

Zhang Hua's heart sank. His left hand had already slipped into his pocket, and he felt an immense pang of pain.

Cao Ye's face was deathly pale, a trace of despair flashing through his eyes.

Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue were still being entangled by the Star Demon. They forced it back with a sword strike and tried to go to the rescue, but it was already too late.

Jiang Changkong, hidden in the shadows, nearly burst out laughing. He had originally been worried that he wouldn't be able to suppress the whole field.

He had never expected these two top students to actually believe in a rebound skill and voluntarily withdraw their sword moves.

He was just about to make his move. "What a perfect—"

But then a streak of golden light tore through the air, shooting straight toward the special Star Demon.

Boom!

The golden light fell, and the special Star Demon was forced violently back. It turned to flee, only for golden light to rise again and block its path.

"Who is it?"

The expressions of everyone from the martial arts school changed. They forced back the Star Demons and quickly gathered together.

"Muscleheads from the martial arts school, shouldn't you be thanking us for saving your lives?"

An ethereal female voice rang out.

More than a dozen figures clad in golden armor and holding golden longswords walked out from the darkness.

Golden light shone brilliantly. They were extremely fast, arriving in the blink of an eye.

"People from Kexiang?" Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue's expressions shifted, though they were still dealing with the Star Demon.

"Your voice sounds very familiar." Zhang Hua withdrew his left hand from his pocket and looked at the golden-armored person at the front, his brows tightly furrowed.

"This special Star Demon is mine."

The leading golden-armored person gave a soft snort and did not answer the question. Bringing two golden-armored people with her, she crossed past the two of them and charged straight at the special Star Demon.

The others fought against the remaining Star Demons.
