Stellar Transformation-Chapter 655 - 18 episodes 20 - s Repeated assassinations
"The Earth Seal has emerged!"
Almost simultaneously, the Divine Kings, whose Divine Sense constantly enveloped Heavenly Venerable Mountain, detected the appearance of the Earth Seal. Without any hesitations, all Divine Kings reached their top speed, transforming into dozens of streaks of light, rushing toward their target, ’Jiang Lan,’ from all directions of Heavenly Venerable Mountain.
"Whoosh!"
With the Luo Yu Saber, a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure underfoot, Jiang Lan’s speed became even more astonishing. Even Zuo Qiulin and Yi Feng were slightly slower than Jiang Lan.
"Follow the plan we’ve formulated in advance!" Zuo Qiulin transmitted through Divine Sense.
"Understood," Jiang Lan and Yi Feng both responded succinctly, thankful that they had already considered how to escape from the many Divine Kings if they acquired the Earth Seal.
Heavenly Venerable Mountain was indeed too vast, and the Divine Kings were spread too widely. By the time Jiang Lan had flown almost halfway down, the first Divine King intercepted him. However, following this Divine King, more and more kept arriving in quick succession.
"The latter half of the journey looks to be challenging," a rare flicker of excitement crossed Jiang Lan’s eyes.
"It’s been a while since I’ve felt this blood-boiling sensation." At this moment, Jiang Lan felt as if all the blood in his body was boiling, filled with endless energy.
"Ao Tun, you think you can stop me?" Jiang Lan directly transmitted via Divine Sense to the first Divine King who tried to intercept him.
Ao Tun, one of the Three Great Divine Kings of Blood Demon Mountain, was far less powerful than Jiang Lan, not to mention Jiang Lan now possessed a first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure.
Realizing the gap in their strengths, Ao Tun thought, "Am I delivering myself to death by fighting so desperately?" This hesitation slowed down his attack slightly.
"Whoosh!"
Arking a curve, Jiang Lan, stepping on the Luo Yu Saber, swiftly left Ao Tun far behind. With Jiang Lan’s current speed, any slight hesitation from his opponents allowed him to shake them off.
A Qi Explosion sounded, the speed was too fast.
Following closely behind Jiang Lan were Zuo Qiulin and Yi Feng, and the three weren’t separated by a large distance.
"Whew!" "Whew!" "Whew!"...
From ahead, four Divine Kings rushed toward them, among whom were two Holy Emperors, namely Jiang Lan, Zhou Huo, Zhou Ran, and Jiang Xing; these four Divine Kings were the ones Jiang Lan was most familiar with.
"Brother, give me the Earth Seal," Jiang Fan rushed over from ahead, transmitting through Divine Sense.
"Hmph, ridiculous."
Jiang Lan responded via Divine Sense, and just as their communications via Divine Sense took place, the two parties had already moved thousands of miles to directly face each other. Jiang Lan’s Divine Sense fiercely invaded the minds of Jiang Xing and Zhou Ran: "You also want to stop me?"
Jiang Xing, who had grown up listening to the legends of Jiang Lan, had no confidence at all when faced with the cold, swiftly approaching Jiang Lan. He couldn’t help but slow down slightly. Zhou Ran, being a clever person, knew the gap between them was significant: "I’ll just follow behind Uncle." Zhou Ran immediately followed Zhou Huo.
"I must obtain the Earth Seal!"
Jiang Fan’s last transmission of Divine Sense, and he was only a hundred meters away from Jiang Lan. A hundred meters was nothing in the face of the two Divine Kings’ high speed—they were face to face in less than the blink of an eye.
Above Jiang Fan’s head floated a black Spiritual Pearl, the Clan Guardian Treasure known as the ’Dark Origin Spirit Pearl.’ Black Combat Clothes also appeared on his body, and a black long spear appeared in his hands. Meanwhile, the Luo Yu Saber under Jiang Lan’s feet was instantly in his hands.
Jiang Fan and Jiang Lan looked at each other!
"Whoosh!"
The sound of a Qi Explosion erupted as Jiang Fan and Jiang Lan passed by each other. Jiang Lan moved even faster, dangerously whisking past Zhou Huo, while Zhou Ran and Jiang Xing didn’t even dare to block him.
Zuo Qiulin and Yi Feng traced two arcs, bypassing the four Divine Kings, and Zhou Huo and the others didn’t stop Zuo Qiulin and Yi Feng. Because Jiang Fan, who had been directly confronting Jiang Lan, had fallen onto the rocks of Heavenly Venerable Mountain.
"Brother Jiang Fan, what happened?" Zhou Huo immediately flew to Jiang Fan’s side.
Jiang Fan had blood at the corner of his mouth and glanced downward. By then, Jiang Lan’s figure had already disappeared without a trace, although the terrifying sounds of Qi Explosions and collisions could still be faintly heard. Clearly, there had been another confrontation below.
"I’m fine." Jiang Fan shook his head, his pupils slightly contracting, "I just didn’t expect that my second brother would use ’Time Acceleration’ to such a perfect extent. His nearly ultimate usage of ’Time Acceleration’ meant my Origin Power didn’t even harm him, yet he managed to strike me with a single blow."
Jiang Fan’s heart still shuddered at the thought.
If it weren’t for the defensive effects of the Clan Guardian Treasure, ’Dark Origin Spirit Pearl,’ Jiang Fan, who was hit squarely by the Luo Yu Saber, would probably have suffered more than just vomiting blood.
"That powerful?" Zhou Huo was also surprised.
"I’ve always known my second brother was formidable. Back then, when he didn’t have a First-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure, I was not confident I could defeat him. Now that he has the Luo Yu Saber, I... am no longer his match." Jiang Fan felt some regret in his heart.
Because, it was Jiang Fan who had given the Luo Yu Saber to Jiang Lan!
Originally, during the public courtship contest, the first gift Qin Yu presented was the ’Luo Yu Saber.’ Thinking about boosting Snow City’s power, Jiang Fan gave the Luo Yu Saber to Jiang Lan. Who would have thought, in the end, when choosing a son-in-law, he himself chose Zhou Huo. This completely turned Jiang Lan against him.
Qin Yu gifted the Luo Yu Saber to Jiang Fan, which eventually ended up with Jiang Lan.
This, after all, was a kind of balance.
Just thinking of Qin Yu, Jiang Fan felt irritated.
"No matter what, we must acquire the Earth Seal," Jiang Fan rose into the air once again.
"Brother Jiang Fan, you still want to pursue?" Zhou Huo asked in surprise, while Jiang Xing and Zhou Ran also looked toward Jiang Fan. They all felt the speed of Jiang Lan’s flight. Jiang Lan was faster than them, and chasing from behind would only increase the distance between them; they simply couldn’t catch up.
Jiang Fan transmitted via Divine Sense, "Don’t worry, there will be people blocking him along the way; they won’t be able to maintain high speed indefinitely. What’s more... there are also blockers at the entrance of the Relief Channel. All over Heavenly Venerable Mountain, there’s only one exit through the Relief Channel; it won’t be so easy for my second brother to just get out."
The words echoed in the minds of Zhou Huo, Zhou Ran, and Jiang Xing, while Jiang Fan transformed into a streak of black light and chased downwards. Slightly hesitating, Zhou Huo, Zhou Ran, and Jiang Xing also quickly followed suit.
...
"Brother Jiang Lan, stop!"
Divine Senses continuously rang in Jiang Lan’s mind, mostly from his old acquaintances, many of whom had good relationships with him. However, when it came to the "Earth Seal," the Divine Kings would not hold back.
"Stop?"
A trace of coldness appeared in Jiang Lan’s eyes. Numerous Divine Kings from his past relations had been quite ruthless in their recent exchanges, showing no mercy.
Bloodstains were visible on Jiang Lan’s green robe, belonging both to himself and to others.
"I don’t seek to kill enemies, just to rush to the bottom as quickly as possible."
That was Jiang Lan’s thought, which is why he never fatally attacked the Divine Kings but just shook them off. With his flying speed, once he shook off someone, they wouldn’t dream of catching up to him.
In terms of speed, Jiang Lan, who rode the first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasure Luo Yu Saber, could perhaps only be matched by the former Asura God King.
After all, the Eight Great Clan Treasures weren’t intended for flying, and although they also possessed first-class Hongmeng Spiritual Treasures, the Eight Great Saint Emperors were a bit slower than Jiang Lan.
"Huff!" "Huff!"
Zuo Qiulin and Yi Feng took a detour and flew at high speed toward the entrance of the Relief Channel. They were having an easy time, as no Divine Kings stopped them. Almost all of them went to stop Jiang Lan.
"Brother Jiang Lan is pretty quick to shake those people off," Yi Feng said, a hint of joy on his face.
Zuo Qiulin’s face remained cold as she directly transmitted her Divine Sense: "Hmph, it’s only because those Divine Kings aren’t united, plus the really powerful Divine Kings mostly didn’t make a move. At the entrance of the Relief Channel, several Holy Emperors are waiting."
Yi Feng’s expression also turned solemn.
The Holy Emperors had simple thoughts: no matter what, Jiang Lan ultimately had to go through the Relief Channel. So by blocking at the entrance of the Relief Channel, they could stop Jiang Lan.
...
"Huff!"
An inconspicuous streak of blood-red light flew to a spot several hundred meters from the Relief Channel entrance, stopping and transforming into a human figure. It was the Blood Sea Queen.
As soon as she found out that Jiang Lan had obtained the "Earth Seal," the Blood Sea Queen flew straight here. Unimpeded along the way and very fast by nature, she arrived at the entrance of the Relief Channel before Jiang Lan.
"Hmph, those Holy Emperors really think they’re all that," the Blood Sea Queen glanced at Duanmu Yun, Tang Lan, Huangfu Yu, and others standing right at the entrance of the Relief Channel.
"Let them fight with those people from Jiang Lan first, and then..." the Blood Sea Queen had a pretty good plan in mind.
Though she was strong, facing several Holy Emperors and people like Jiang Lan was still risky. What was most important was... those Holy Emperors didn’t actually know her strength.
Hide her strength.
Strike at the critical moment!
...
"Puff!" The Luo Yu Saber, carrying a trace of fresh blood, cut through the sky. Jiang Lan, stepping on the Luo Yu Saber, slightly slowed down, then regained the limit speed and continued to fly downwards.
Behind him, the Divine King ’Huangfu Lei’ watched Jiang Lan’s receding figure, very aware that Jiang Lan had just spared his life. If Jiang Lan spent a little more time, he could have killed Huangfu Lei.
...
At the entrance of the Relief Channel, eleven Divine Kings had now gathered. Among these eleven, five were Holy Emperor-level experts; the others included the Blood Sea Queen ’Xue Yun’, three Divine Kings from the Asura Sea – Sun Lian, Liu Lian, An Xun – and the Blood Demon Queen ’Yu Sha’, plus Duanmu Yu who stood far aside.
"Huff!"
Before he arrived, the air began to tremble, illustrating Jiang Lan’s incredible speed.
"Tang Lan, Mu Qin, you two join forces to block Jiang Lan," Duanmu Yun watched the swiftly approaching streak of light in the distance and simultaneously arranged via Divine Sense.
Jiang Lan was just Jiang Lan, not the Asura God King or Qin Yu. Two Holy Emperors joining forces were more than enough to stop Jiang Lan. And besides... there were other Divine Kings here.
"Let’s not rush," Huangfu Yu transmitted to Pu Tai Hong beside him. These two Divine Kings were both powerful.
"Take action!"
Duanmu Yun suddenly transmitted his Divine Sense command. Tang Lan and Mu Qin’s eyes burst forth with light, and their figures suddenly turned into afterimages as they, bearing blue and green energy, charged towards Jiang Lan.
"Mu Qin, Tang Lan?" Jiang Lan’s gaze turned frosty. The Luo Yu Saber under his feet vanished, then reappeared in his hands.
...
By this time, Zuo Qiulin and Yi Feng had already reached the side of the Relief Channel entrance. Both were watching Jiang Lan. According to the plan, it wasn’t yet time for them to make a move.
At this moment, the enemies could only be faced by Jiang Lan alone.
"Brother Jiang Lan, it’s all on you now," Yi Feng silently anticipated, while Zuo Qiulin remained cold, her gaze fixed solely on Jiang Lan.
...
Under the watchful eyes of numerous Divine Kings, Jiang Lan directly clashed with Divine Kings Mu Qin and Tang Lan.
A dazzling flash of a saber!
As if time and space shifted, under everyone’s gaze, Jiang Lan’s figure blurred, and the flow of time around his body kept dramatically changing—’Time Acceleration’ was used to its utmost limit.
"Time Acceleration can be used to this extent?" The Blood Sea Queen, hundreds of meters away, was shocked. Even though she had comprehended Time Freeze, she had to admit there was a significant gap between her and Jiang Lan in utilizing ’Time Acceleration’.
"Puff!"
Blood sprayed across the sky. Jiang Lan, Mu Qin, and Tang Lan crossed paths. Jiang Lan, his face pale, hardly slowed down. Leaving only a trail of afterimages, he sped towards the Relief Channel entrance. (To be continued... For more updates, please visit www.qidian.com.
