Suddenly, Xu Jin’s gaze shifted.
At the foot of the mountain, six tall figures had appeared and began to ascend.
When Xu Jin’s gaze shifted to them, Chi Mu suddenly felt something and looked up at Xu Jin on the mountain top.
"You’ve got guts, still lingering in the same spot!" Chi Mu sneered and commanded, "Kill! The first to achieve success will be rewarded with ten pieces of Jade!"
The next instant, red light exploded from Chi Mu’s body as he too charged toward the mountain top.
The six, in a fan shape, surrounded the mountain top from below.
Too far to sense clearly the cultivation levels with the Mingji Star Pattern, his cultivation level was not enough.
But from the intensity of the erupting starlight, as well as the distance they covered when their Star Power erupted, Xu Jin could roughly judge that these six, all were experts from the Star Refining Realm.
"Six experts from the Star Refining Realm, they really think highly of me."
The next moment, Xu Jin made his move.
Xu Jin didn’t charge to meet them, but instead dashed straight in another direction.
He had to gain strategic time.
If they were all from the Star Casting Realm, with Xu Jin’s current strength, facing a six-on-one situation wouldn’t be too much pressure.
But the Star Refining Realm was a different story.
Especially for experts of the Star Refining Realm, their combat power could increase significantly with each additional Star Pattern engraved with every rise in cultivation level.
So he needed to be extremely cautious.
Seeing Xu Jin start to flee, the six Star Refining Realm pursuers immediately changed direction.
A minute later, Xu Jin was fleeing, and the six were chasing, forming a straight line.
The closest to Xu Jin, was a Red Scale Warrior of the Star Refining Sixth Layer, about two hundred meters away.
There was also one from the Fifth Layer, and one from the Fourth Layer, approximately a kilometer from Xu Jin.
He had at most just over ten seconds of strategic time.
And what Xu Jin dreaded the most was that Eighth Layer Star Refining Realm, Chi Mu.
It was precisely because he discovered among those Red Scale Clan members surrounding him the presence of an Eighth Layer that Xu Jin changed his tactics.
Under Xu Jin’s deliberate control, the distance between the first Sixth Layer Star Refining pursuer and Xu Jin rapidly closed.
In the next instant, Xu Jin suddenly turned around, unleashing the Flying Star Step in a burst.
The two were effectively charging towards each other.
In an instant, they closed the distance of one hundred and fifty meters to less than twenty.
With a thought, Xu Jin launched a Star Arrow, bombarding furiously towards the opponent.
Seeing Xu Jin, just a Middle Period Star Casting Realm, daring to counterattack, the Sixth Layer Star Refining Red Scale Warrior looked on with disdain!
The disparity in skill was too great!
As for the Star Arrow attack, he didn’t even regard it with concern and thought he could swat it away with a simple wave of his hand.
Flames emerged on his palm, and the Star Refining Sixth Layer Red Scale Warrior easily launched a strike towards the Star Arrow that Xu Jin had fired.
But the anticipated easy dispersal did not occur.
Suddenly, the Star Refining Sixth Layer Red Scale Warrior felt an excruciating pain in his palm.
In a moment of shock, he saw the Star Arrow’s starlight flash explosively, his palm and arm were blasted to pieces under the burst of starlight.
Then the starlight struck his body without hindrance, smashing his Red Armor and obliterating half of his torso.
Consciousness plunged into darkness in an instant.
Before his consciousness faded to black, he had only one thought, "Where did such a powerful Star Arrow come from?"
This Star Arrow, Xu Jin, in an effort to kill his enemy in one strike, had directly used three-tenths of the Central Star Palace’s Star Power to instantly kill the Sixth Layer Star Refiner.
Among the six Star Refiners who besieged Xu Jin this time, there was one Eighth Layer, two Sixth Layers, one Fifth Layer, and two Fourth Layers.
The greatest threat was obviously the three Red Scale Warriors of the Eighth and Sixth Layers.
So for the first strike, in order to achieve success in one hit, Xu Jin directly infused three-tenths of his Star Power.
"Too much, it was a waste, two and a half would have sufficed."
Feeling a bit regretful, Xu Jin immediately swallowed a First Essence Three Elements Star Returning Pill.
After reaching Star Casting Realm, Xu Jin’s Star Power surged, but even a First Essence Three Elements Star Returning Pill could recover less than one-tenth of his Star Power.
As expected, Xu Jin’s instant killing of a Sixth Layer Star Refiner caused the remaining five to pause in their steps, all slowing down.
This combat power was terrifying!
Was this really just a Middle Period Star Casting Realm practitioner?
They needed to change tactics.
Otherwise, if a Sixth Layer Star Refining Xu Jin could kill in one strike, most of them charging in would be like sending themselves to their deaths.
Subconsciously, they all looked towards their leader Chi Mu, the Eighth Layer Star Refining Chi Mu.
Chi Mu was also quite surprised.
But with surprise, he realized instantly this was a genius.
The youngster before him was definitely an exceptional talent from Dachen!
He must be captured alive!
If they could pry open his mouth, there would undoubtedly be a great harvest, possibly even obtaining Dachen’s secret Star Patterns.
But in the same moment they felt shock and fear, Xu Jin moved again.
Bursting forth with the Flying Star Step, he unleashed another Star Arrow towards the next closest pursuer, a Fifth Layer Star Refining Red Scale Warrior.
This time, the Red Scale Warrior instinctively wanted to flee.
But suddenly, the earth beneath him grew like vines, wrapping around and dragging down his escaping form.
Earth Storm Technique!
By the time he broke free, the Star Arrow had already struck.
Two and a half-tenths of the Central Star Palace’s Star Power was consumed again.
There were still four enemies left!
