Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1377: Chapter 551: Counter-Hunt (2)

This was the first time in history.

Who could it be?

Suddenly, Xu Jin thought of the incident seven days ago, with no warning, King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang of the Ninth Tier brought more than twenty Eighth Tier elites to ambush him.

There was even an Eighth Tier Peak expert shaking the void, blocking the Space Star Technique, making it impossible for him to use it for a quick escape.

The targeting was extremely precise.

Back then, he thought it was a coincidence.

But now upon analysis, it is not a coincidence.

Instead, King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang must have had some understanding of him, knowing that he excelled in Space Star Technique.

In theory, King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang couldn’t possibly have such a clear understanding of his abilities.

There are only two sources that could have allowed King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang to understand that he excelled in Space Star Technique and deliberately set up this ambush.

One is the Blood God Sect’s request for assistance.

Two is the traces left in the Limit Breaking Secret Realm, where Xu Jin recklessly used Space Star Technique and Thunder Star Skill.

Both scenarios are possible.

Xu Jin, in Blood Moon City, killed the Right Protector Lin Mingshi three times, the duration being as long as two hours, there was an opportunity for requesting aid.

But if the matter involves the Tracking Secret Technique, Xu Jin is more inclined to believe that this is related to the Limit Breaking Secret Realm.

Otherwise, how did King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang track him quietly?

Now, Xu Jin is utterly baffled about the tracking affair.

He knows someone is tracking him, knows he has been cast with the Tracking Secret Technique, but he is powerless to resist.

All he can do is wait!

Wait for this crisis to come.

If this time, the crisis brought to Xu Jin is still caused by King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, then it will be confirmed.

However, Xu Jin is not one to await fate passively.

Last time, ambushed by King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, Xu Jin’s trump cards were nearly exhausted.

The most crucial trump card for survival, the Seven Killings Iron Wood Sword was lost, and at the critical moment, the explosive power of the Five Elements Rhythms was almost spent.

Now, only the Sharp Gold Rhythm has two hundred, the Heaven and Earth Fire Rhythm has just over one hundred, while the Nine Heavens Thunder Rhythm, Green Wood Rhythm, Mysterious Water Rhythm, Earth Core Earth Charm, were all consumed previously, leaving only twenty-one accumulated in the past few days.

So, if the one coming is truly King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang, although Xu Jin’s strength has improved somewhat, the crisis faced will only be more severe than last time.

But this time, it is vastly different from seven days ago.

Seven days ago, Xu Jin was ambushed and besieged.

Today, he knows in advance that a crisis is about to happen, he fights a battle with preparation.

Xu Jin can pre-set the battlefield, in terms of terrain, Xu Jin has already taken the advantage.

In the next moment, Xu Jin steps on the stars and rises, overlooking this place of bizarre rocks and barren mountains.

If friends come, there’s fine wine.

If enemies come, should they not be sent into an ambush?

Pre-setting a battlefield is Xu Jin’s forte.

Xu Jin continually experiments with various scenarios based on his Star Skills, making various arrangements.

...

*****

In the eastern part of the Eight Desolate Continent, on the broad back of a giant Huweng bird, King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang stands at the bird’s head, eyebrows slightly furrowed.

Behind him are a total of thirty-eight Eight Tier Alien Races with varying cultivation levels.

Compared to last time, the Eighth Tier Late Stage and Peak Alien Races have reached eight.

Besides the three Eighth Tier Late Stage experts left in the Eight Desolate Royal Court, Ju Zhang has brought all the Eighth Tier Late Stage experts.

He brought thirty of the Early to Middle Stage Eighth Tier Alien Races proficient in speed.

Having brought almost half of the Eighth Tier Alien Races.

The purpose of these Eighth Tier Alien Races is not to fight but to encircle and force them.

The main force in battle is him and the eight Eighth Tier Late Stage Peak experts.

The battle seven days ago also taught King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang a lesson.

Especially when his uncle Ju Chang’s Primordial Spirit was severely damaged, costing him dearly.

Three Sixth Tier Divine Soul Spiritual Medicines couldn’t restore Ju Chang’s Primordial Spirit, finally using one Seventh Tier Divine Soul Spiritual Medicine fully restored Ju Chang’s severely damaged Primordial Spirit.

Until now, he, the King of Eight Desolates, has only collected three Seventh-Order Divine Soul Spiritual Medicines.

But this time, he brought his uncle Ju Chang along again.

Sealing space is crucial.

Moreover, he also brought another Eighth Tier Eight Desolate Clan expert capable of sealing space, Jin Kui, a strong expert of the Golden Spirit Clan.

As for now, King of the Eight Desolates, Ju Zhang is somewhat troubled.

His father Golden Shuo True Monarch has already resonated the Life Imprint Aura left in the Limit Breaking Secret Realm for him; this resonated Life Imprint Aura can exist for at most six hours.

Within these six hours, he can use the Secret Technique to sense this resonated Life Aura up to five times.

Each time he senses, the resonated Life Aura will weaken.

After the fifth time, it will dissipate.

Today until now, he has resonated and sensed three times.

But what bothers him somewhat is that the target positions sensed the first two times with the Secret Technique were fairly distant.

Unexpectedly, they were in high-speed motion.

He once thought it had been detected.

Of course, it might be a coincidence.

But if this coincidence continues, then this pursuit operation will fail.

Twice consecutively locking positions without capturing this person, his father Golden Shuo True Monarch may become angry.

But fortunately, the third time he activated the Secret Technique to sense, the target stopped moving at high speed.

It seems, it’s a coincidence.

Yet it could move again.

So Ju Zhang simply exerted force into his feet, terrifying Divine Thought poured into the body of the Eight Tier Huweng giant bird underfoot, the Eight Tier Huweng Giant Bird began flying at full speed without any nourishment.
