Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 543 - 228 Bone to Ashes_3

After waiting a few breaths with no movement, Hu Xuechuan sent out another extremely urgent message. It took a few more breaths before he received a reply.

Subsequently, Hu Xuechuan, accompanied by the two subordinates who had already arrived, and Lin Lie, waited anxiously in front of the Star-picking Tower.

While waiting, he glanced at the enormous blood-colored beacon.

He was terrified the blood-colored beacon would disappear.

After waiting for more than twenty breaths, he saw starlight falling down as an elder and a youth hurried over instantly.

When he saw the elder, Hu Xuechuan’s face lit up with joy.

This matter was as good as settled.

But Hu Xuechuan greeted the young man, "Seventeen, you’ve finally arrived. Should I set out now?"

While speaking, Hu Xuechuan also nodded in greeting to the elder, "Elder Fu."

"Hmm, what you say, is it true?"

"Absolutely certain!"

After getting a definitive answer, the elder nodded to the young man Hu Changyan. Then, the group of six stepped into the main building of the Tianyang Star Hall Star-picking Tower and teleported!

Destination, Dachen Thunder State!

Ten breaths later, the group of six appeared outside the sub building of the Star-picking Tower in Dachen Thunder State. After presenting their identity tokens to the watchman, the six shot up into the sky instantly, following Hu Xuechuan as they dashed through the stars at high speed.

This scene, however, alerted the Mountain Master of Thunder State State Taoist Institute, the Sub-hall Master of Tianyang Star Hall’s Thunder State Sub-Hall, and the Sub-hall Master of Cangming Star Hall’s Thunder State Sub-Hall.

After all, with five Fifth Tier experts and one Sixth Tier expert arriving at the same time, it would be difficult for them not to be alerted!

Thinking it over, the Dean of Thunder State State Taoist Institute reported the situation to the Da Chen National Daoist School in good faith.

The Sub-hall Master of Tianyang Star Hall’s Thunder State Sub-Hall, however, had already been notified; a person of importance from the main hall was handling affairs and asked him to keep an eye on Cangming Star Hall’s sub-hall and Dachen Thunder State State Taoist Institute.

The curious Sub-hall Master of Cangming Star Hall’s Thunder State Sub-Hall couldn’t leave in a short time due to being under watch.

*****

Deep in the Thunder Falling Mountain Range.

Qi Shanye and Demon Arrow Mo Ji sat side by side outside Xu Jin’s still-refining sub building of the Star-picking Tower, with a jar of wine before them, sitting and drinking bowl after bowl, occasionally turning their heads to look back at the Star Tower behind them.

Due to the lack of a master, after appearing in the world, the Star-picking Tower could not hide in the void and was exceptionally resplendent at that moment.

"Cheers!"

Wine at his lips, Demon Arrow Mo Ji suddenly stopped, looking into the distance, "They’re here!"

In the distant night sky, several beams of starlight were flying toward their direction like meteors.

In the next instant, Demon Arrow Mo Ji downed the wine in his bowl in one gulp and with a bang, he smashed the bowl to pieces!

"I’m going to my position!"

Two breaths later, the aura of Demon Arrow Mo Ji, who had hidden himself amongst the mountains, completely disappeared.

Qi Shanye also finished his wine in one gulp, wiped his mouth, and laughed sinisterly, "They really are persistent!"

While laughing, he glanced at his incomplete right arm, his expression growing even more grim.

"Five Paths!"

"Currently, we’ve spotted five people. Hu Xuechuan really holds me in high regard, dispatching five experts directly. Don’t hold back later; blast the hell out of them!"

"Don’t worry!"

Mo Ji’s Divine Soul Transmission rang in his ears.

Time flew, and after 100 breaths, five beams of starlight rapidly descended, the one in the lead was none other than Hu Xuechuan.

As the saying goes, enemies are especially envious when they meet.

However, surprisingly, Hu Xuechuan landed hundreds of meters away and did not immediately make a move. Instead, he looked fervently at the Star-picking Tower behind Qi Shanye.

Seeing this scene, the young man Hu Xuechuan had brought along, Hu Changyan, was overjoyed, "Sixth Brother, you really didn’t deceive me, there’s really a sub building of the Star-picking Tower here!"

"Of course, I wouldn’t dare deceive my Seventeen."

"So as you said, this sub building of the Star-picking Tower belongs to me, and this Lingji Remnant before us is yours?" Hu Changyan laughed.

"Of course!"

"Heh, Mr. Hu, we haven’t seen each other for months, but your tone has certainly grown larger," Qi Shanye sneered.

However, Hu Xuechuan was coldly examining his surroundings, evidently on guard against something.

In the same instant, both Hu Xuechuan and Hu Changyan heard a transmission from Hu Fu, the Sixth Tier expert who had hidden himself, "There should be two more, I’ve found the residual auras of three people on the scene."

There was another Fifth Tier aura, but its whereabouts were hidden, eluding detection.

Another one was only at the Third Tier, not worth considering.

"Elder Fu, by this account, we’re dealing with just two or three people."

"Yes, go ahead and make your move confidently, I’ll support you from the rear."

"Young Master, hold back a little bit, don’t rush in too hastily." These last words were instructed by the Sixth Tier expert Hu Fu to the young master he was protecting, Hu Changyan.

"Elder Fu, didn’t Grandfather say that if you discount actual combat experience and just look at our abilities on paper, I am practically invincible within the Fifth Tier? I rarely get a chance to come out so I’m also itching for a fight!"

"Mm, but still, Young Master, be careful."

"Qi Shanye, this day next year will be your death anniversary!"

"Kill!"

In the next instant, with a fierce cry from Hu Xuechuan, all on high alert, they attacked Qi Shanye from different directions. At the same moment, Hu Changyan also charged toward Qi Shanye.

Three hundred meters.

Two hundred meters.

One hundred fifty meters.

The next moment, a terrifying aura suddenly emerged from the distance. In just an instant, five swirling arrows shot out like meteors, their dreadful presence bearing down on the five men.

"Demon Arrow Mo Ji, Qi, is this your backup? You’re simply handing me a Great Merit!" Seeing this, Hu Xuechuan burst out laughing.

But mid-laugh, the furious shots from Demon Arrow Mo Ji split in the blink of an eye, targeting all five men directly.

The five were well prepared.

Although the attack was terrifying, it was divided among them, and they were capable of handling it!

But just as the five men were being restrained by Demon Arrow Mo Ji’s attack, Qi Shanye suddenly made his move.

With a sudden burst, three top-grade Fifth Tier Emblems held between Qi Shanye’s fingers were simultaneously unleashed!

As the Emblems were fired, the hidden Sixth-Tier expert Hu Fu shrieked instantly.

"Sixth Tier Emblems, three of them, how is that possible!"

In the very next moment, Hu Xuechuan, Lin Lie, and the other two subordinates, including all five Fifth Tier experts, Hu Changyan among them, were completely engulfed by the terrifying starlight released by the three Emblems!

The three top-grade Fifth Tier Emblems used by Qi Shanye all bore the name Fierce Light.

The same type of Emblem bursting simultaneously, the prowess compounded in an instant.

The entire night sky was lit up as if it were day, shockingly bright!

But in that instant, Qi Shanye rapidly retreated.

The Sixth Tier expert who had just revealed himself, Hu Fu, lunged towards the sun-like radiance of the Fierce Light.

But as he neared, his Body Protective Starlight shattered, forcing him to retreat on the spot!

Within the Fierce Light, rays of starlight surged, but as soon as they began to rise, they were utterly extinguished!

These were Hu Xuechuan and Hu Changyan desperately relying on their life-preserving treasures!

Inside the Fierce Light, as Hu Xuechuan threw out his last two Fourth Tier Defense Emblems and one Fifth Tier Defense Emblem, he desperately activated his Defense Star Skill while struggling to reach Hu Changyan.

He was hoping that Hu Changyan had a life-preserving treasure that could save his own life as well!

Where Qi Shanye got the Sixth Tier Emblems from was no longer a concern to him in that moment!

His eyes were full of despair!

In the next instant, the last few life-preserving Emblems thrown by Hu Xuechuan were burned away by the Fierce Light as easily as snow meets hot soup.

Hu Xuechuan took just one step forward, and in the next moment, the Fierce Light devoured him!

First, it disintegrated Hu Xuechuan’s Body Protective Starlight, then his armor turned to ash in an instant.

Then, his flesh turned to ash in a moment, his Blood Qi rising and reflecting the despair in Hu Xuechuan’s eyes, but also dissipating completely in an instant!

In the blink of an eye, Hu Xuechuan was reduced to a pile of bones!

But even the bones were incinerated by the high temperature of the Fierce Light, some even forming colorful crystals as they burned.

As for the three subordinates brought by Hu Xuechuan, including Lin Lie, they had turned to ash within the previous two seconds!

In an instant, four people died tragically within the Fierce Light.

Only Hu Changyan continued to deploy life-preserving methods, one Emblem after another flying out, a final struggle!
