Chapter 378 (2/2)

Su Xing did not hesitate. His foot stepped on the ground, and then he also soared, rushing again at the Green Scaled Unicorn Python!

The Green Scale Unicorn Python stared fixedly at Su Xing. The green light from its snake eyes was like an enormous light in the night that shot in all directions. Covering the red and black scaled gigantic beast, it swayed now and then, carrying a whistling gale.

Its back had a giant wound, as if it had been ripped violently open by some powerful force. Blood flowed continuously from that injury, dripping onto the ground, forming a stream that concentrated into a pool of blood.

The Green Scaled Unicorn Python opened its mouth, leaking highly toxic saliva that flowed out of its mouth.

Its rage was extremely deep, resentment completely crammed into its mind.

It was this Star Master character in front of it that emitted a strong and strange scent from head to toe, giving it a heavy blow, making it suffer an enormous injury. This was practically unbelievable. Star Beasts all possessed intelligence. Sensing the anger in its mistress' heart, the Green Scaled Unicorn Python also was mad.

Its strength was greatly depleted. As the Savage Star's Star Beast, to be injured was an absolute disgrace.

Rapidly flicking out its tongue, the Green Scaled Unicorn Python itched to slowly chew apart this human that was more evil than itself, to swallow him into its stomach. Seeing that this target was rushing at it, the Green Scaled Unicorn Python suddenly twisted its body and giant tail, swinging its head down.

Su Xing only heard a whoosh. A gale blew, and immediately afterwards, the light above his head went dark. A violent power, like Mount Tai itself, pushed towards him.

Su Xing immediately lowered his body, and then he evaded to his left side.

With an enormous ”boom,” the Green Scaled Unicorn Python's tail swept past his body, heavily slamming on the lakewater, ripping apart the pool.

Suddenly, the Hundred Grasses Lake jolted out a wave. The mist lingered, dense and pervasive, mingling with poison, turning the air turbid and evil.

When its strike missed, the Green Scaled Unicorn Python did not give Su Xing any chance to catch his breath. Immediately, it began to launch its second wave of attacks.

The Green Scaled Unicorn Python opened its mouth. Several dozen thick poison lights sprayed out from its mouth, like massive pythons a size smaller than it. Bellowing, it bared its fangs and pounced towards Su Xing, its momentum astonishing.

But the Green Scaled Unicorn Python had only just begun when it suddenly felt its tail was in incomparable pain. Turning its eyes back, it spotted Su Xing's swordtip had already pierced into its tail, as if it was a nail hammered in.

The Green Scaled Unicorn Python felt great fury at the same moment. Su Xing also took the opportunity to approach. Calling out the Flying Swords, they twisted for the kill. Sword-light flashed, and the Green Scaled Unicorn Python that had just thought of spitting poison suddenly had its mouth torn open with a bloody cut.

The Green Scaled Unicorn Python howled, curling its body. The Star Beast forcefully repelled Su Xing.

The Green Scaled Unicorn Python did not pursue. It knew that today counted as enough. Having encountered an abnormally terrifying opponent, its eyes focused on the lake. At once, it turned and frantically sucked in a mouthful of the Hundred Grasses Lake to use for healing.

Fuck.

Su Xing thought to himself that this Star Beast was intelligent, but he would not give it a chance. The next second, his Flying Swords enthusiastically kissed the Green Scaled Unicorn Python.

Su Xing also blasted the Green Scaled Unicorn Python's body with Purple Mansion Immortal Thunder and other such powers.

Worthy of being called the Savage Star's Star Beast, even though the Green Scaled Unicorn Python sustained such an assault, it still could prolong its last breaths. Su Xing practically was using full power.

”The Green Scaled Unicorn Python's snakeskin is very expensive material to use for clothing. Maybe I should give it to Suwen?” Su Xing licked his lips, chuckling.

Before his words finished, Su Xing moved like lightning. Instantly, he scuttled to the Green Scaled Unicorn Python's head, one foot directly stepping on its flat face. Pity that the Green Scaled Unicorn Python had yet to react, for following a snapping noise, its entire body suddenly leapt.

In the end, the fierce Star Beast no longer considered the excruciating pain on its body. The Green Scaled Unicorn Python suddenly opened its mouth, spraying a sort of thick, dark purple smoke. A green tornado engulfed the range of two zhang to the front. The entire lake wildly danced, blowing into an enormous hurricane.

The Bai Yutang that was far to one side had retreated to a safe distance upon seeing this scene.

What the Green Scaled Unicorn Python sprayed out, Su Xing did not dare taste. His body techniques rapidly retreated. Then, he jumped high. A Buddhist light glowed around his body, and lotus flowers blossomed in midair, becoming a thousand layered protection. His body somersaulted in the air. When he descended, his knees already protruded, heavily smashing into the dazed Green Scaled Unicorn Python's head.

”Puff!”

Su Xing's knees accurately struck his target. One fist turned the Green Scaled Unicorn Python's spitting into a whimper…Basically not giving the Green Scaled Unicorn Python any time to cry, Su Xing's body suddenly whirled in midair. When he fell, his right leg carried a frightening whistle as it suddenly plunged!

His heavy kick struck upon that horn while the Green Scaled Unicorn Python was still wailing.

Suddenly, an enormous power directly chopped it down, leaving an enormous hole in its head. A great amount of blood sprayed out. The Green Scaled Unicorn Python madly writhed its body from the pain. It was infuriated, and Xie Diao also retreated so as to avoid being caught in it.

The Green Scaled Unicorn Python finally realized its situation!

”Trash, quickly kill him!” Xie Diao saw that her own Star Beast was gradually being beaten back, simply feeling that this was unbelievable.

Looking at this man, the Green Scaled Unicorn Python knew that today, it had already become the tiny Star Master's prey. The Green Scaled Unicorn Python was very resentful and very unreconciled. Even if it were to die, it wanted to give the enemy the price of acute pain.

Its mistress gave her orders.

The Green Scaled Unicorn Python's snake eyes immediately locked onto the faraway Bai Yutang. From the girl's meek attitude, it could ascertain she lacked the strength to even truss a chicken. Harboring this thought, the Green Scaled Unicorn Python raised its remaining power. Its snake tail violently swept back, suddenly piercing towards the girl like a sharp sword. Looking at the girl frozen in shock, the Green Scaled Unicorn Python was confident she had been scared witless by its aggression, and its snake pupils took note out of the corner of its eyes that the man behind it did not move.

Of course, that Bai Yutang and that little girl in red cloud clothes probably were merely so.

The Green Scaled Unicorn Python fiercely opened its maw.

Gongsun Huang's eyes blinked. Suddenly, she raised the Pinebrand Ancient Sword.

A red light flit by.

She pierced the Green Scaled Unicorn Python's belly. It bellowed, and blood rained down.

Su Xing at this time rushed back.

His Flying Swords fell.

This Star Beast was trapped and killed by the Flying Swords.

Xie Diao's head hurt. Agape and tongue-tied, she looked at Su Xing's actions in disbelief.

Her Star Beast had unexpectedly been defeated.

”Next is your turn.” Su Xing's figure flashed, rushing over.

”Watch this!”

Countless green viper flying blades flew out, becoming a swift and severe storm.

But that green light was very quickly intercepted by Su Xing. His Flying Swords descended directly from the front. Then, several golden needles rained down, surprising Su Xing.

”Do not think of hurting Elder Sister.”

Another voice came from the heavens. A practically identical little girl descended, and beside her was a beautiful lady.

”Fuck, the both of them.”

Su Xing was taken aback.

The newcomers were Lady Snake Scorpion and her other Scorpion Star General.

…

Meanwhile, Wu Xinjie and Shi Yuan piloted the Fire Beacon Chariot to very quickly arrive at a mountain cavity. The Connecting Heaven Token had been deciphered by Wu Xinjie. They easily found the entrance, but what the Knowledge Star did not anticipate was that the exit was abnormally extraordinary.

However, Wu Xinjie had yet to enter the Connecting Heaven tomb when they met with trouble.

”Ha, ha, Elder Sister, we meet again. Why do I not see Lin Chong this time.”

A black clothed woman, her hand holding a double-edged axe, smiled very thoughtfully.

Wu Xinjie wa very speechless. This woman was none other than the ranked one-hundred and fifth Healthy Star God of the Dangerous Road Yu Yuandan. When they first left Su Xing, they had encountered Yu Yuandan inside the Dragon Tiger Ruins.11 At that time, because they had Lin Chong, Yu Yuandan nearly died, but they did not expect to encounter her once again. Wu Xinjie could not help but sigh that the world was small.

However, come to think of it, Yu Yuandan and her Star Master probably specially sought out these tombs to increase their strength. As far as Earthly Star were concerned, this indeed was the best route.

”The Knowledge Star and the Thief Star Star? Ha, ha, ha, the Heavens are helping me. Is there no Lin Chong this time? Yuandan, kill them!!” Yu Yuandan's master was named Ge Chong,12 very adept at feng shui, like Wu Xinjie, an expert at exploring tombs.

The Thief Star was grim. She did not expect to encounter such a thorny opponent. Other Star Generals were fine, yet this was the one named God of the Dangerous Road.

”You go stall her master, I will handle Yu Yuandan.” Wu Xinjie used Sound Transmission.

”En.” The Thief Star very quickly hid. She waved the Five Poisons Banner, calling forth the Puppet Mechanisms.

”Master, will you use the Eight Gates Black Gold Chain.” Hua Xue said.

Wu Xinjie declined this request. The Eight Gates Black Gold Chain was indeed very powerful, but because it was too powerful she could not overuse it. The mysteries within this Connecting Heaven Tomb were numerous. Wu Xinjie was still counting on the Eight Gates Black Gold Chain to break through danger.

”This is perfect for testing the marksmanship Young Lord left to Your Servant. Hua Xue, you look for an opportunity.” Wu Xinjie smiled.

”As you wish.”

”Knowledge Star, are you thinking of your last words?” Uttering those words, Yu Yuandan sneered, a long and narrow beam of cold light flitting by like a bolt of brilliant lightning.

The girl already used an attack as her reply.

Wu Xinjie softly chuckled, throwing out a talisman, shooting like lightning towards her opponent. It transformed into a longsword, its attack changing paths, completely different from the way they met Yu Yanduan's weapon before. As if relying on the power of Star Energy, it immediately burst, its might very great. Even Yu Yuandan did not dare underestimate it, directly using her Mountain Cutting Double-edged Axe to go block it, but that sword talisman instantly changed again. In that instant, it counterattacked like a snake coiling its head, completely not leaving any time to breathe.

”Little Sister, do you truly wish to fight?” Wu Xinjie slightly smiled.

Silver Blade appeared in her hand. The bullets would soundlessly shoot out from the sharp blade,13 as if it were a terrifying assassin.

Bang, bang, bang!!

The sounds of gunfire and metal clashing continuously rang. Wu Xinjie's first attack was a strange assault that ran completely against Star Generals.

That attack was not only incomparably fast, but it was also perfect in terms of defense.

Bullets and sword talismans were continuously thrown out, forming a frightening, inconceivable combination.

So powerful, worthy of the resourceful Knowledge Star to be able to think of this.

As it turned out, the God of the Dangerous Road liked to take the dangerous path. Incapable of obstructing Yu Yuandan's pace, the Healthy Star was like a peregrine falcon shuttling back and forth like lightning. Even if she was occasionally forced into a dead end of the attack net, her quick and accurate judgement in dodging was sufficient to get her out of harm's way. In an instant, that black figure was right before Wu Xinjie.

Worthy of a powerful martial general of the Earthly Stars.

The axehead wrapped in an ice-cold aura suddenly slashed down, bringing a blue light to her target's eyes.

Wu Xinjie slightly smiled, her steps light as the wind, leaning to dodge this attack. That expansive arc of wind nevertheless suddenly changed direction upon touching the ground, changing from a direct path into a sweep. This time, the attack's speed and power had both sharply increased, and Wu Xinjie had long made preparations for this. The gun and sword talismans that had combined together succeeded in sealing the path of Yu Yuandan's Yellow Rank.

Cold light made Yu Yuandan unable to help but retreat.

This defense that was absolutely not Star Energy in of itself was capable of resisting. Wu Xinjie counterattacked in this split second. Even though she had made mental preparations and used the weapon as a buffer, the Knowledge Star's tyrannical attack seemingly could not be looked down upon. Under a powerful impulse, Yu Yuandan's body was suddenly flicked several meters away, but the moment she touched the ground, the young girl already recovered her balance.

A soft grunt.

Bullets were fired.

Practically in the moment Yu Yuandan caught sight of them, the revolving bullets seemed to penetrate her body.

The Mountain Cutting Double-edged Axe whirled to raise a gale that blew the bullets away.

”Oh.” Upon seeing that she was unable to injure her, Wu Xinjie actually was not surprised at all, ”Still wish to fight?”

”Is Elder Sister afraid!” Yu Yuandan grit her teeth, suddenly rotating her wrist, using the action to interrupt her opponent's words.

Yu Yuandan sneered, coldly shouting. The Mountain Cutting Double-edged Axe danced, sprinkling a green wind towards Wu Xinjie. As if it was an unstoppable hurricane, it tightly enveloped her within blade light.

Yellow Rank Technique!

Wind Shatter!!14

Hua Xue entered possession at just the right time, immediately boosting the entirety of Wu Xinjie's spiritual power to a new realm. Regardless of how crafty Yu Yuandan's attack angle was, however frequently she varied her speed, her attacks seemed incapable of harming Wu Xinjie in the slightest. Those omnipresent sword talismans and that practically strange in sound and style firearms whirled in a dance under Wu Xinjie's control, like an impenetrable rampart, shaking apart each and every one of Yu Yuandan's attacks.

Yu Yuandan's Yellow Rank Technique for the first time was unexpectedly unable to taste any results.

After several exchanges, the offensive that the countless sword talismans and bullets formed finally had a hole torn in it. Yu Yuandan saw her opportunity. The Mountain Cutting Double-edged Axe slashed ferociously. A glowing arc of light swept towards Wu Xinjie, completely without room for evasion. Wu Xinjie smiled, as if she had foreseen this. However, the powerful sword aura did not slow in the slightest because of this, only slightly moving towards the side.

Yu Yuandan fiercely shouted, her power suddenly increasing.

”Watch this Dark Rank! Five Mountains Sea Filling!”15

Wu Xinjie felt her wrist suddenly turn heavy,16 but the Knowledge Star was abnormally relaxed. The Nine Tailed Spirit Fox Hua Xue transformed into a specter. Unexpectedly, she unbelievably broke free of the Dark Rank's pressure.

Impossible.

So strong!!

Yu Yuandan drew in a cold breath.

”Yuandan!!”

That Ge Chong loudly shouted. Shi Yuan's puppets currently were appearing one after another at a steady rate. Although Shi Yuan did not have any combat strength, relying on multiple puppet mechanical beasts, even if Ge Chong was any more talented he was helpless in the face of this crisis. Killing the controller of these puppet mechanical beasts was a good idea, but the Shi Yuan in Wind Chasing Shadow Hiding had completely vanished.

Ge Chong completely could not sense her.

Goddammit. These were obviously two trash Star Generals, dead at even the slightest touch. Unexpectedly, these two were capable of obstructing them. Ge Chong threw out several treasures and Supreme Grade Talismans to destroy a majority of the mechanical beasts.

”This Young Lady has refined nine thousand nine hundred ninety mechanical beasts. Play slowly.” Shi Yuan's chuckles came from an unknown place.”

”Damned Thief Star, if you have the ability, then come out.”

Ge Chong furiously cursed,

”Do you truly want This Young Lady to come out?” Shi Yuan suddenly laughed.

And she actually appeared.

Spotting her, Ge Chong did not hesitate at all to raise his Flying Sword and several Supreme Grade Talismans to destroy the surrounding mechanical beasts. Then, he used another talisman to trap Shi Yuan's presence. Following an Escape Technique, he instantly was in front of the Thief Star.

The entire course of events flowed smoothly, direct and efficient.

Shi Yuan stared without moving.

”Fool, die!!”

When Ge Chong saw that Shi Yuan was unable to flee, he laughed and slashed.

Shi Yuan's body was torn apart. Suddenly, Ge Chong's smile froze.

A fake?

Not good, Mirror Image Talisman.

Ge Chong immediately whirled around to attack behind him, but Shi Yuan had already disappeared and retreated, waving at him, that appearance seemingly saying – fare thee well.

What?

Before Ge Chong could react.

Suddenly, five rays of Poison Light soared into the sky.

Five Poisons Array!!

Ge Chong's face paled, and then he understood that he was caught in a trap. The Thief Star had set down the Five Poisons Array at some point and deliberately lured him over. Ge Chong hastily wanted to defend, but the Five Poisons Array was but a Great Array. At practically the moment before he returned to his senses, the five Poison Lights pierced his body. The extreme toxins immediately froze his consciousness.

An unprecedented despair and regret filled his heart, and there was also an unbelievable feeling of being trapped.

When were the Thief Star and Knowledge Star capable of these powers?

”Young Master!” Yu Yuandan spat blood in pain.

And this was the fatal weak point of all contracted Star Generals.

”Apologies, Little Sister!”

Wu Xinjie's gunfire rang.

A bullet pierced Yu Yuandan's heart!

To surprisingly die here…Healthy Star God of the Dangerous Road Yu Yuandan's face of indignation then received the fate of a Starfall.

Author’s Note:

Dream of golden millet does not refer to the main character waking up at the end only to find everything was a dream. This plot is too disgusting…
