Hu Zhen sneered, continuously activating this wide-range Star Skill!
Off in the distance, a beam of Starlight was rapidly approaching this direction—it was none other than the National Master Cheng Yuxiao.
It had been that National Master Cheng Yuxiao, once he had learned of Hu Zhen’s exact location, had galloped nonstop toward the direction of Shilong County.
Still five or six hundred li away, Cheng Yuxiao suddenly noticed falling Starlight in the sky.
In an instant, Cheng Yuxiao’s face changed.
This was a direct invocation of the stars of Heaven and Earth.
This was the unleashing of a Star Skill of immense power!
What was Hu Zhen doing?
The next moment, National Master Cheng Yuxiao accelerated again, flying at full speed without regard for his own exhaustion.
But even without sparing his energy, it took Cheng Yuxiao several tens of breaths to cover the nearly five hundred li.
By the time he drew close, Cheng Yuxiao saw a spectacle of hell on Earth that one could hardly bear to look upon!
In just tens of breaths, Shilong County had been decimated by Hu Zhen’s devastation, turned into a literal hell with the ruins everywhere, corpses strewn about, and a river of blood!
Across a hundred li, Cheng Yuxiao issued a roar like thunder.
Hu Zhen naturally noticed Cheng Yuxiao, but when he saw the roaring Cheng Yuxiao, Hu Zhen merely glanced sideways at him and sneered coldly, "You’ve arrived just in time, my child died on Dachen’s territory, and it’s time I settled accounts with you!"
When Cheng Yuxiao surged forward fifty li and saw the river of blood and the corpses all around Shilong County, he was instantly enraged.
"Hu Zhen, you deserve death!"
In the next instant, tricolored Starlight bombarded Hu Zhen from a kilometer away.
At the same instant, the Nine Bright Chime appeared, fingers swept across it, and amid the booming resonance similar to a great bell, Starlight shot like an arrow from the horizon, directly shattering Hu Zhen’s large-scale Ice Rain Skill, which was suspended above Shilong County.
"Cheng Yuxiao, my grandson Hu Changyan died in your Dachen’s territory—today, if you don’t give me an explanation, I will massacre this Song State County!"
"Try massacring one and see!"
National Master Cheng Yuxiao was furiously enraged, and in the next moment, with the ringing of the Nine Bright Chime bells, Starlight like meteors bombarded Hu Zhen repeatedly.
Under the extremity of his rage, Cheng Yuxiao struck with all his might!
Caught off guard, Hu Zhen was sent flying backward more than ten li, blood spewing from his mouth.
Hu Zhen never expected that Cheng Yuxiao would dare to strike him with full force!
"Cheng Yuxiao, how dare you!"
"You dare to massacre a city, what should I not dare to do!"
Cheng Yuxiao looked down at Shilong County, which was now a river of blood, feeling an indescribable pain in his heart. At this moment, he absolutely loathed Hu Zhen!
Above the Nine Heavens, suddenly five paths of Starlight fell straight into the Nine Bright Chime, and Cheng Yuxiao flicked his finger.
A sound like the pealing of great bells resonated throughout Heaven and Earth.
The night sky over Song State seemed to light up in that instant.
Cheng Yuxiao had directly drawn upon the power of the stars of Heaven and Earth and even used Dachen’s National Treasure, the Nine Bright Chime.
Was this to slay him here and now?
Amid his shock, Hu Zhen responded with all his might.
Two Star Artifacts appeared hastily, while above the Nine Heavens, suddenly three beams of Starlight fell.
But it was too hasty.
In the moment when the Starlight fell, the tricolored meteors from the Nine Bright Chime streaked directly through Hu Zhen’s chest!
Ripples emanated from Hu Zhen’s chest one after the other.
Hu Zhen spat blood violently from his mouth, along with numerous pieces of his internal organs!
However, such injuries were not severe for an Eighth-Tier Expert.
"Cheng Yuxiao, you’re courting death for Dachen!"
But in the next moment, the tricolored meteors bombarded Hu Zhen once again.
This time, with preparedness, Hu Zhen instantly dodged, but the tricolored meteors pursued him like they had tracking ability, bombarding Hu Zhen relentlessly.
The next instant, Hu Zhen was hit on the side.
One arm was blown off, and as Hu Zhen’s other Star Artifact began to crack inch by inch and its brilliance faded, it retreated into Hu Zhen’s body.
Another sound akin to the pealing of great bells rose.
The tricolored meteors bombarded Hu Zhen once again!
This time, Hu Zhen had no time for curses!
He felt that Cheng Yuxiao had gone mad!
That he truly wanted to kill!
Suddenly, Hu Zhen recalled what the Star Lord had laughingly taunted Cheng Yuxiao with—Madman Cheng!
Had he truly gone mad?
To have him, Hu Zhen, slain right here!
Having suffered a massive setback earlier, his combat power slightly inferior to Cheng Yuxiao’s and believing Cheng Yuxiao wouldn’t strike to kill, Hu Zhen was caught off guard and suffered another great loss. After two consecutive setbacks, he sustained serious injuries.
One mistake and he might truly be killed by Cheng Yuxiao on the spot!
After his death, the Tianyang Star Hall would surely seek revenge for him!
But so what if Dachen was annihilated?
Even if Dachen were destroyed, Hu Zhen himself wouldn’t survive!
He must strive to live!
The next instant, Hu Zhen turned sharply and rushed towards the nearly obliterated Shilong County!
Almost at the same time, the Nine Bright Chime rang once again, the tricolored meteors bombarded toward Hu Zhen.
But the very moment of attack, Cheng Yuxiao took a sharp intake of breath, his hands waved continuously, his eyes bulging, exerting all his energy to alter the course of the tricolored meteors.
The next instant, the tricolored meteors struck the mountain outside Shilong County, and half of the mountain top disappeared.
At the same moment, blood appeared at the corner of Cheng Yuxiao’s mouth!
"Don’t you love your people like children?"
Hu Zhen began to taunt Cheng Yuxiao madly, "Come on then, let’s engage in an earth-shattering fight right here!"
"However you want to fight, I’m with you!"
Cheng Yuxiao’s gaze was piercing, fixating on Hu Zhen, and then, suddenly, he began to sneer, "You’re consistently shameless, as always!"
"Come on then, let’s fight here!" Hu Zhen declared fiercely.
Cheng Yuxiao’s gaze grew even more somber.
Although Shilong County was a sea of blood and in ruins, at least tens of thousands of civilians were alive.
If he were to engage in an all-out battle with Hu Zhen here, those civilians would be doomed!
"Hu Zhen, if you still have any shame, come out! Let’s head outside Heaven and decide the outcome there. How about that?" Cheng Yuxiao shouted!
"Cheng Yuxiao, you ambush first and then accuse me of shamelessness!" Hu Zhen immediately engaged Cheng Yuxiao in a war of words.
While they were talking, behind Cheng Yuxiao, suddenly more than a dozen beams of Starlight rushed over.
The one leading wasn’t anyone else but Left Libationer Meng Yanhui and Chief Peng!
In an instant, Hu Zhen’s face changed!
Why hadn’t the people from the Star Hall arrived yet!
