Let Me Catch My Breath Before I Kill You

Jiang Changkong was a little dazed.

After snatching the special Star Stone, he had seen that they had a shield, so he had gone to look for the Star Demon corpses Zhang Hua and the others had killed during the day.

He had just finished extracting their essence, energy, and spirit and was about to take another look at Ji Ziling and the others before leaving, when someone named Tang Ruoxi called him.

She told him that the shield could not hold out and that they needed his help.

On the other end of the call, he could also hear Ji Ziling and Ying Yanxue's voices.

Thinking of that horde of Star Demons, Jiang Changkong hesitated, then decided to go save them.

The previous Peak Nebula Level Star Demon had been badly wounded and had run off.

The Copper Skin Iron Bone Technique, which had just entered the perfected level, could ignore attacks from Star Demons below Peak Nebula Level.

Calculated that way, there was really no difficulty at all.

After hiding his backpack, a voice came through the phone. "Jiang Changkong, when you make your move, we'll be watching from our side.

"You'd better advance in a straight line. How do you need us to cooperate? When should we rush out?"

"When I need you to act, I'll jump onto a Star Demon and shout for you to come out," Jiang Changkong replied. He already knew that these people had instruments monitoring the surrounding area from the air.

After hanging up, Jiang Changkong hid his phone in his backpack and quickly charged toward the Star Demon horde.

Roar!

The Star Demons roared. Seeing Jiang Changkong arrive, they pounced straight at him.

Jiang Changkong glanced at them. Star Qi Peak. He slapped one into a mist of blood.

If he left the corpses intact to extract their essence, energy, and spirit, they would stink. By smashing them into blood mist, it dispersed directly into the air and was automatically extracted.

One Star Demon died, and the rest charged up.

Jiang Changkong showed no fear at all and charged straight in.

A taiji diagram manifested around him. As Jiang Changkong swung his palms, the taiji diagram flipped up and down, and Star Demons exploded one after another into blood mist.

Bare-handed, he blasted his way through.

As for his saber, he had already thrown it away.

He had already obtained the special Star Stone. If he kept the saber, he would expose his identity.

"That fierce? He's just blowing them apart?"

Liu Jun and the others crowded around the instrument, looking at the figure on the crystal panel as they cried out in shock.

The people in the other shields were frantic and hurriedly said, "Let us see too."

"Let me see. Point the instrument at me," Ji Ziling said, her expression ugly.

"We'll watch together."

Tang Ruoxi opened an instrument and said, "We can share the surveillance."

The Kexiang students in the other barriers also opened their instruments and watched together.

In the surveillance feed, Jiang Changkong was like a fierce tiger, charging straight ahead without restraint.

Before the Star Demons could even get close, they were beaten into blood mist. None of them could withstand a single exchange.

Zhang Hua and Cao Ye's faces were gloomy. When had this Jiang Changkong gained such strength?

Star Demons exploded into blood mist, drawing the surrounding Star Demons into even greater madness. When the taiji diagram swept past, the frenzied Star Demons exploded along with it.

Whether they were Star Qi Peak, Early Nebula Level, or middle stage, none of them escaped the fate of being blown apart.

As Jiang Changkong extracted their essence, energy, and spirit, he added it to Traceless Three Blades.

Although improving Traceless Three Blades was not of much use right now, it could increase his Star Power.

Because the shield could not hold out for long, Jiang Changkong did not dare hold back either. He attacked with almost his full strength.

Everyone watched as Jiang Changkong charged straight through, Star Demons exploding all along the way.

They were stunned. What kind of strength was this?

"Peak Nebula Level?" someone muttered.

"He really isn't from the martial arts school?" Tang Ruoxi looked at Ji Ziling, seeking confirmation.

If he was not from the martial arts school, then after this, she had to pull him over to Kexiang.

He was simply more mecha than a mecha.

"Don't even think about it. He's my brother!" Ji Ziling snorted, extremely displeased.

This was her brother. How could they set their sights on him?

Besides, this brother suited her temperament very well. He had even bought books for her, and had given her rare, one-of-a-kind magazines.

Where could she find a second brother this good?

Jiang Changkong crushed his way forward, blood mist spreading as the Star Demons swarmed in to encircle and kill him.

Along with that, even the Star Demons besieging the shields thinned out a little, which delighted them.

If all the Star Demons went off to surround and kill Jiang Changkong, then they would be out of danger.

Of course, that was only wishful thinking. The moment Jiang Changkong shouted, they would all rush out.

Star Demons exploded one after another, blood mist spreading before dissipating into the night sky.

Time trickled by, and in the blink of an eye, half an hour had passed.

Jiang Changkong had no idea how many Star Demons he had killed. He did not stop, and there were still plenty of Star Demons.

But he could already vaguely see the glow emitted by the shield.

He still had more than half his Star Power left, and his stamina was still abundant, so he might as well just kill his way over.

Back then, he had been able to kill for half a day. This time, he said he could keep killing until dawn.

The premise was that Ji Ziling and the others were not in danger.

For now, he would first go near the shield and meet up with them.

The taiji diagram in Jiang Changkong's palm shone, taiji guarding his entire body as it forced back the surrounding Star Demons.

He punched apart the Star Demon in front of him and advanced quickly.

Everyone inside the shield stared wide-eyed, no longer knowing what to say.

Fists and kicks, trained to this level—it was unheard of!

"Is this a second-tier top-grade battlesuit with unlimited energy?"

Kexiang's people stared with their eyes wide.

If it was a second-tier top-grade battlesuit, it could indeed run rampant through a swarm of Star Demons for a while.

But an individual's stamina was limited. If it were them, they would have been exhausted long ago.

Yet Jiang Changkong did not seem tired at all. He was still blasting Star Demons apart all the way forward.

"I think we can rest easy now," a Kexiang student murmured.

The number of Star Demons attacking the shield had already decreased greatly. The shield was very safe now, and holding out for several hours would not be a problem.

"He can't be thinking of killing his way over, can he?"

Tang Ruoxi stared blankly at the screen, at that figure advancing in a straight line.

This guy had never even thought of shouting for them to make a move.

He was planning to slaughter straight through!

The distance was closing rapidly. No Star Demon could stop his steps.

"Oh no, that's a Late Nebula Level Star Demon," a student suddenly said.

"Open the shield. Rush out immediately."

Tang Ruoxi's expression changed, and she immediately gave the order.

Bang.

On the screen, blood mist flared. That student's face twitched. "No need. That Late Nebula Level Star Demon exploded."

Everyone: "..."

A Late Nebula Level Star Demon had also been blown apart with one punch?

What the hell kind of strength was this?

Ji Ziling was also dumbstruck. Since when did my bro become this strong?

After dealing with that Late Nebula Level Star Demon, and this one had exploded, Jiang Changkong caught the Star Stone in one grab and stuffed it into his tattered pocket.

Then he continued blowing them apart.

As long as a Peak Nebula Level did not come out, there was nothing that could not be settled with one punch.

The group was completely relieved. Most of them no longer rushed to heal and recover, instead collectively crowding around the instrument to watch.

Step by step he advanced, flipping his palm to shatter Star Demons. The starlight of the shield ahead drew closer and closer, brighter and brighter.

Only fifteen minutes later, Jiang Changkong once again slapped a Star Demon apart and arrived before the four shields.

"What are you all looking at?"

Jiang Changkong stood outside the energy shield, somewhat bewildered. What are you all gathered together for? Are you escaping or not?

"Jiang Changkong?"

"Good brother."

The people inside the four shields were startled at the same time, looking at him in delighted surprise, but in the next instant it became horror. "Watch out..."

Clang.

Crack.

The Star Demon's sharp claws came down, only to shatter into several pieces.

Jiang Changkong waved a hand and blew the Star Demon apart, then said calmly, "It's fine. I'm used to it."

Everyone: "..."

Looking at the energy barrier, Jiang Changkong sat down cross-legged. "From the looks of it, you're not in any danger?"

"Because you're here, not for the moment." Everyone let out a breath of relief.

"Good. I'll catch my breath, then keep killing."

Jiang Changkong just sat there as a swarm of Star Demons gathered around him, fangs and claws all coming down on him.

Clang, clang... Crack, crack...

Everyone: "..."

All of a sudden, they were starting to wonder if he was the real Star Demon.
