Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 735: Chapter 298: Kill Two Birds with One Stone and Peacefulness

Xu Jin hastily returned to Gu’an County and fought his way to the front of the Star Gate.

Xu Jin’s original intention was to quickly clear the area, seal the Star Gate himself, guard the passage, and then allow the County Magistrate and the County Guard to lead teams to sweep up the stragglers.

The invading Alien Race was poorly disciplined, with some taking advantage of the chaos to leave the main force.

However, when Xu Jin arrived, he was stunned.

In front of the Star Gate, of the present-day Human Race who were fighting, there was only one County Magistrate left.

Outside the battle circle, Xu Jin found the corpse of the County Guard, which was only half of a body.

From inside the Star Gate, members of the Alien Race from the Second-tier, Third-tier, and Fourth-tier kept pouring out continuously.

Xu Jin silently joined the battle.

With Xu Jin’s arrival, the pressure on the County Magistrate, who was leading the elite forces of the County Government in battle, greatly decreased.

In less than 20 breaths, Xu Jin had cleared the nearby aliens.

However, from inside the Star Gate, the Alien Race continued to rush out unabated.

One after another.

”True Inheritor Xu, I need to recover for a bit,” the County Magistrate said to Xu Jin with a bitter smile, then walked over to the body of the County Guard, swallowed a Pill, sat down cross-legged, and quickly began to recover.

This... this is war!

”I’m here, those who need to recover go and recover, or go elsewhere to join the fight.”

Following Xu Jin’s shout, many of the County Government’s constables, who were greatly exhausted, left to recuperate.

As for those pushed to their limits, they were either dead or severely injured.

There were no grand speeches, just silent support.

Xu Jin kept slashing at the Alien Race emerging from the Star Gate.

On average, one to two creatures came out every breath, including Third-tier, occasionally Fourth-tier, and also Second-tier.

With Xu Jin’s strength, holding this position was very easy.

But after 15 minutes, Xu Jin frowned.

There was no end to them!

While it wasn’t a serious problem that the Alien Race kept coming out at this rate, as he could keep killing indefinitely,

the fact that the Alien Race was unending meant that Xu Jin couldn’t activate the Sealing Jade to seal the current Star Gate.

After the Sealing Jade blocked the current Star Gate, it would take about half an hour to fully integrate with the Star Domain Barrier, at which point the seal would be completely done.

During this half-hour fusion, as long as the Alien Race randomly bombarded from the opposite side of the Star Domain, they could quickly break the seal, causing Xu Jin’s attempt to seal the Star Gate to fail.

”This Fourth-tier Star Domain must have been prepared beforehand. The Star Domain King inside was very likely preparing to mobilize troops before the Nine-star Tide and moreover, this Star Gate opened in a good location, possibly close to a major city of theirs.

Hence the persistent large influx of the Alien Race killing their way through.

For now, we can only hold on!

From the Alien Race’s side, they can’t know the situation here; all they can do is continuously send troops.

What we can do is also just to hold on, to keep killing.

Kill all the Aliens coming through the Star Gate until the other side realizes what’s happening, then we can seal the Star Gate,” the County Magistrate explained after a brief recovery.

Xu Jin frowned, ”How long do we need to hold on?”

”At least half a day. Based on past experience, it’s at least half a day but could be one or two days. However, according to the current situation, it’s not too difficult to hold on. True Inheritor, if you feel tired, I can take over.

But if a Fourth Rank Middle to Late Period Alien Race breaks out, I still need to ask True Inheritor Xu for assistance.

Otherwise, they could cause havoc again,” the County Magistrate stated.

Xu Jin casually obliterated a Fourth-tier Alien that had come through the Star Gate, his brows slightly furrowed.

Whether standing guard here for half a day or a full day, for Xu Jin, it was not difficult.

The strongest among the Fourth-tier Aliens that emerged were at most Fourth Rank Ninth-layer.

They posed no danger to Xu Jin.

Could anyone be stronger than a Gold Star Level Gatekeeper and the Heart Demon?

So theoretically, Xu Jin could easily kill any Alien Race below Fifth Rank Second Layer.

But the problem was, too much time was dangerous due to the jeopardy posed by Xu Jin’s current identity.

The State Preceptor had instructed Xu Jin to complete the mission within two hours.

Now, more than half an hour had already passed.

The news of Xu Jin’s support in Gu’an County, if the two Star Halls were concerned, they probably already knew.

However, due to Star-picking Tower’s transfer control, it would take some time for the experts of the two Star Halls to arrive.

As for the experts from the two Star Halls stationed in Yangjiang County, the highest tier was Fifth-tier, sending them would be merely delivering themselves to Xu Jin.

Two months ago, during the assassination attempt in Wanyi, the use of a Fifth-order Ninth-layer expert had failed!

Xu Jin needed not only to complete the mission but also to consider his own safety issues.

Suddenly, looking at this Star Gate, Xu Jin had an idea.

”County Magistrate, I have a method that could seal the Star Gate in a short time, after which you could lead the troops to sweep the area and quickly organize the people to start rescue operations, but I need you to hold on for at least half an hour,” Xu Jin suggested.

”I am the County Magistrate. Defending our land is my duty, not to mention holding on for half an hour; even holding on for a day is obligatory!

However, if a Fourth Rank Middle to Late Period Alien comes out again, I might not be able to hold on!” the County Magistrate said through clenched teeth.

”That’s easy to handle.”

Xu Jin directly gave the County Magistrate four Fourth-tier Upper Emblems for emergencies.

But Xu Jin didn’t immediately start his action; now, Xu Jin was no longer that rash.

A few breaths later, Xu Jin directly captured a Fourth Order Middle-period captive, and Warm Dream conducted an interrogation on the spot, quickly obtaining the information Xu Jin needed.

This Fourth-tier Star Domain was called the Flame Wolf Star Domain; long before the Nine-star Tide, the two Kings within the Star Domain had reached a consensus and assembled heavy troops to wait for the Nine-star Tide to burst open the Star Gate.
