Chapter 471: Contract Rescinded (1/2)
Chai Ling stood at the bow of her boat. The waves undulated, and an eerie gold appeared on the horizon.
The sound of burning fire flared up, and a completely red Burning Whale swam to the side of the boat. On the whale were two girls.
“Zhang Feiyu, Xi Yue, you have come as well?” Chai Ling did not even glance at them.
“Is that in the direction of the Endless Abyss?” Xi Yue said in astonishment.
Chai Ling opened her fan, showing that this clearly was the case.
“Is White Stripe in the Waves already fine?”
“En, isn’t Su Xing careless, to unexpectedly want to go with Guan Ying to destroy the Devil Star…This is too unreasonable.”
“Feiyu, we should hurry over there, too.” Xi Yue anxiously urged.
Zhang Feiyu nodded. Before they left, she gazed inquisitively at Chai Ling. The Noble Star Little Whirlwind in front of her that was positioned outside of the Star Duels clearly cared very much about Su Xing.
“This Palace has no need to go. He will be fine if he has a plan.” Chai Ling smiled charmingly.
Zhang Feiyu and Xi Yue said nothing. The Burning Whale ignited its flame, breaking out a scorching splash of flame on the seas. Only after their figures disappeared did Chai Ling’s lovely smile gradually disappear. It was replaced by an indescribable melancholy.
“Legend says the Nine Nether Devil Star Stone is a stone produced in the Nine Hells that dropped from Star World. The qi of the Nine Hells reportedly can remove the stone, but it can also make the Devil Star become even more terrifying…Chai Ling…” A languid and indifferent voice came from above.
Chai Ling turned her head back. Konghou was currently sitting leisurely on one of the boat’s masts. Her hand held wine. She was drunk.
“Are you truly not worried about the Brave Star after she turns Devil Star?” Konghou thoughtfully glanced at her.
“Brave Star Great Blade Guan Sheng, the head of the Five Tigers Generals, a cavalry general. Her strength does not lose out to Lu Junyi. She has inherited the Reclining Moon Blade Technique of the Saint of War1 and possesses a uniquely unmatched warrior general spirit among the 108 Sisters…” Chai Ling did not answer but slowly narrated instead. Each word was as beautiful as a creek. “Her Innate Skill Unrivalled has even greater effectiveness when faced with the siege of several Star Generals.”
“Unrivalled, truly burdensome.” Konghou drunkenly sighed.
Unrivalled.
If speaking solely about the martial general spirit of Star Generals, indeed, she was unparalleled, but even the Saint of War generals with god-like might nevertheless lacked contributions across the eight generations of Star Duels. They had never even entered the Seven Stars Assembly.
Compared to Lu Junyi, Wu Song, and Lin Chong who did not sign contracts, chief of the Five Tigers Generals Guan Sheng was much more fond of finding a Star Master that could accompany the Brave Star.
And such a Star Master often treated others with an utterly stupefying righteousness.
This was not praise at all, but more like mockery.
The Seven Stars Assembly of the Star Duels selected the final seven Star Masters and Star Generals, and at this time, the Star Duels often had powerful alliances, and Guan Sheng’s personality was doomed to never do this.
Of course, this did not count for much. In fact, top-notch martial generals would do this, but Guan Sheng was even more tragic in that she would often be encumbered by upstanding contractors – an assembly of Star Generals unable to learn to deceive and cheat one another. It was better that such a way to die was not too common in the Star Duels, so after naturally after martial generals like Lu Junyi, Wu Song, and Lin Chong Starfeel, chief of the Five Tigers Generals Guan Sheng inevitably would too. All Star Masters would not put up with the chief of the Five Tigers Generals ascending Maiden Mountain, and at that time, Star Masters would unite with even more coordination than at any other time.
The ninth Brave Star Guan Ying resolved to change this situation and contracted with the most powerful Star Master of the Devil Star Palace well-known for deceit, but as Heaven would have it, this generation was even more tragic than before.
Even that legendary Devil Star was about to be born.
There was no choice but to sigh.
“Are you truly unconcerned with the Devil Star?” Konghou asked again. “If the Brave Star becomes a Devil Star, without Lin Chong or Wu Song at his side, that man named Su Xing is bound to suffer misfortune.”
Gazing at that golden light on the horizon, Chai Ling’s slender phoenix eyes had a rare bit of hurt.
“This Palace believes that she will not become a Devil Star.”
“Why?” Konghou sipped her wine.
Chai Ling’s reply was very simple, just eleven words.
Each word nevertheless was resounding and powerful, striking one’s feelings.
“Because she is the Brave Star! Just this and nothing more.”
When Konghou heard, she smiled somewhat drunkenly.
“Do you trust her this much?”
…
Black script endlessly flickered all over Guan Ying’s body. The Devil Star seemed to be secured tightly by chains. Immediately, these chains shattered, and Guan Ying’s whole body was full of a deep darkness. Her eyes brimmed with the shock that could only appear for one in a nightmare.
The Devil Star was released.
But Guan Ying did not appear at all willing to be taken in by the Devil Star. She tightly gripped the great blade, her taut body struggling. That indomitable and proud torso seemed to age a hundred years, stooped like an old person. She relied on unimaginably tough willpower. The Brave Star unexpectedly was still persisting to death even under the Devil Star.
Great Saint Starkiller’s smile immediately froze. His eyes filled with pain, unreconciliation and hate.
“Purple Thunder Monster!!”
All of his hate exploded on Su Xing. Great Saint Starkiller furiously shouted, pouring all of his magic energy into the Golden Magnetic Divine Peak. Devil Qi crisscrossed all over his body, and two terrifying horns unexpectedly grew out of his forehead. The Eight Desolates Heavenly Demon Body had reached its limit. Great Saint Starkiller spared nothing in order to kill Su Xing.
The Golden Magnetic Divine Peak was used by Great Saint Starkiller like this.
The dark gold light expanded a hundredfold. Countless ancient script scattered and circulated over the mountain. The world contorted under the First Magnetic Golden Light, reversing Heaven and Earth, and the Boundless Bell continuously rang.
The Golden Magnetic Divine Peak spun without restraint, crushing down.
Two more of the five-clawed golden dragons were crushed by the Golden Magnetic Divine Peak in succession.
Su Xing also did not hesitate at all to urge on all of the magic energy his body had. The Meditative Mind Lotus Flower blossomed in the air, its brilliance stronger than when it was in the Buddha Kingdom, but Great Saint Starkiller’s magic weapon Divine Peak was more powerful than Su Xing thought, especially the First Magnetic Divine Light on the mountain. It oppressed all living things, twisted Heaven and Earth. If it was not for the Five Dragons Lantern containing the Bodhi as a core releasing endless light, he completely would have been unable to block.
“Is that man a monster?” The pupils of the Ruan Jin’er to the side shrunk, casting an overwhelmed gaze at Su Xing.
Great Saint Starkiller’s Golden Magnetic Divine Peak was Devil Ancestor Dark Nether’s. Transforming Star of Annihilation level magic weapon, forged with powerful abilities. It was no exaggeration to say that the Prehistoric Spirit Treasures on the Spirit Sealing List were lacking in comparison, add on that Great Saint Starkiller had an additional Boundless Bell.
