78: Chapter 74 Blood God Sect Evil People
78 -74 Blood God Sect Evil People
The moment he covertly took down Jiang Long, Xu Jin also made a preliminary judgment on Yang Ba’s strength, who had managed to evade the sneak attack.
When Yang Ba dodged just now, the aura of Star Power he stimulated was stronger than Xu Jin’s, but much weaker than Yue Chong’s, who was at the Second Layer of the Refining Star level that Xu Jin had encountered before, and also weaker than anyone Xu Jin had seen at the Star Casting Realm.
Therefore, it was highly probable that Yang Ba’s Cultivation Level was around the Sixth or Seventh Layer of the Dining Dawn Realm.
Impressive!
In an instant, Xu Jin erupted with the Flying Star Step, chasing after the swiftly evading Yang Ba.
Before catching up, he activated the Alert Talisman he was holding and tossed it into the sky.
The crimson Alert Talisman soared into the sky, causing the pupils of Yang Ba, who had just escaped death, to instantly contract.
This disciple from the Taoist Institute at the Fifth Layer of the Dining Dawn realm had already signaled for reinforcements, which meant there wasn’t much time left for him.
In the blink of an eye, Yang Ba made up his mind.
He needed to fight quickly and decisively.
He believed that being at the Seventh Layer of the Dining Dawn, he could still take down this disciple from the Taoist Institute at only the Fifth Layer of the Dining Dawn.
The next moment, he realized he was wrong.
He saw Xu Jin charging towards him, but instead of coming straight at him, Xu Jin veered sharply by his side.
Not attacking?
But the next second, Yang Ba found that he was wrong again.
It wasn’t that his opponent wasn’t attacking.
It was that his opponent’s attacks were too cunning!
As Xu Jin rapidly veered past Yang Ba’s side in an instant, whoosh whoosh whoosh, he blasted him with four Star Arrows in a flash.
Instantaneous Star Skill?
Yang Ba was startled.
In a flurry, Yang Ba managed to dodge and block, barely handling this wave of attacks, and then he began to think of retreating.
A formidable man at the Fifth Layer of the Dining Dawn realm capable of using instantaneous Star Skills, Yang Ba hadn’t seen anyone like that in all his years of Cultivation.
The next moment, the sound of air tearing rang out again, and there it was!
Just like before, as he veered past, he bombarded with four Star Arrows.
But this time, Yang Ba was mistaken again.
Just as he frantically dealt with these four instantly arriving Star Arrows, Xu Jin, who was originally charging past, suddenly exploded with Starlight underfoot and made a sharp ninety-degree turn.
The long blade, trailing two feet of Starlight, slashed rapidly towards him.
Under the continuous fierce attacks, Yang Ba, could only barely fend off with his Arm Shield fixed to his arm.
His Arm Shield, a custom-made Star Weapon, was extremely practical, and over the years, it had saved his life many times.
Clang clang clang!
Blade and shield clashed, Yang Ba blocked Xu Jin’s continuous slashing, but was forced into continuous retreat.
Under Xu Jin’s relentless assault, he, at the Seventh Layer of the Dining Dawn, was beaten without any ability to fight back.
In the next instant, Yang Ba suddenly saw Xu Jin’s Star Weapon long blade in his hand suddenly fly out, hurled towards him like a hidden weapon.
Yang Ba could only dodge again.
In a flash, he even lacked the time to think of anything else but to parry blow for blow.
The very next moment, he saw Xu Jin who had closed in to within three feet, shake his hands repeatedly.
With every shake, a Star Arrow blasted out.
His hands unleashed a relentless barrage.
Each Star Arrow hit different parts.
At such a short distance, the speed of the Star Arrow strikes was extremely fast, and the frequency was incredibly high.
Almost all of them hit their mark.
Just two Star Arrows shattered the Body Protective Starlight on Yang Ba’s surface.
The third Star Arrow blew a huge hole in Yang Ba’s abdomen, and the fourth and fifth snapped both of Yang Ba’s legs; the sixth and seventh strikes hit directly onto both of Yang Ba’s shoulders, blowing off his arms.
With the eighth Star Arrow, Xu Jin slightly retracted his force and blasted it directly at the Star Pattern on Yang Ba’s chest.
In an instant, blood spurted from Yang Ba’s mouth, and the Starlight around his body dispersed.
Even if his chest Star Pattern wasn’t shattered, it was rendered useless for a short time.
Only then did Xu Jin breathe a sigh of relief.
The threat was eliminated.
But the danger was not completely over.
Xu Jin looked into the distance; a glow was moving rapidly through the mountains.
It must be an Instructor who saw the Alert Talisman and was rushing over, but it was unclear who it might be.
In the palm of his hand, he still clasped a Vortex Blade Emblem.
Xu Jin was certain that within a five hundred meter radius, there was no human scent, meaning no accomplices.
But further away, it was uncertain.
Not to mention five hundred meters—over a thousand meters was just a matter of ten-plus breaths.
He still needed to be cautious.
“Who are you people, who sent you here?” Xu Jin asked from two meters away.
Just now, after he had quickly circled to the other side of the ravine, Xu Jin had only heard them discussing whittling down his strength before taking action, so he decisively launched a covert attack.
He still didn’t know which side they were on.
Blood spurted from Yang Ba’s mouth, and he convulsed in pain, his eyes filled with hatred as he looked at Xu Jin.
Damn it, where did this Dining Dawn Fifth Layer fool come from?
His Star Skills were played too damn sophisticated….
The next moment, Yang Ba’s head tilted to the side, and he exhaled his last breath.
With all four limbs severed and a large hole in his abdomen, it would’ve been difficult for him not to die.
Xu Jin didn’t rush to search the body; instead, he circled the area, pushing his Star Power, sniffing furiously with his nose to ensure no human scent remained.
Only then did he relax a bit.
The main reason was his low strength; otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed to be so cautious.
A hundred breaths later, a streak of Starlight appeared close to Xu Jin.
It was Zhang Yunliang, the flag master of the Star Patrol Guard.
“Did you kill these two?”
“Yes, they ambushed me, and I killed them in a counterattack,” Xu Jin said.
Zhang Yunliang looked at Xu Jin in surprise.
He had to admit it was impressive.
Just by scanning, he could tell from the residual energy what tier of Cultivation Level these two had: one at the Seventh Layer of Dining Dawn Realm, and the other at the Sixth Layer.
Unprepared against the prepared, two people ambushing one from the Fifth Layer of Dining Dawn Realm were killed without a scratch on him.
Were these two weaklings, or was this young man in front of him too fierce?
So far, Zhang Yunliang hadn’t detected any Emblem or other power’s scent, which meant this young man had relied on his own strength to kill these two.
“What’s your name?” Zhang Yunliang had seen Xu Jin once or twice before but didn’t know his name.
“Reporting to the flag master, my name is Xu Jin.”
“Xu Jin?”
Zhang Yunliang turned his head in shock, “Are you the same fool who killed the Star Beast Green Snake and skinned it without knowing to take the Star Core?”
Xu Jin: “???”
“Instructor Zheng said it; it seems it really was you, the fool.
You’re fierce and reckless, these are Evil People from the Blood God Sect!” After some searching, Zhang Yunliang had already discovered the identity of these two from the Blood Introduction Blood Jade in their chests.
Xu Jin was starting to catch on.
Turns out Instructor Zheng, the talkative muscle man, was also a blabbermouth; his story had spread.
“The spoils on these two are yours, but I need to take this Blood Introduction Blood Jade back!
By the way, you’ve killed two Evil People from the Blood God Sect in the Dining Dawn Realm.
Would you like your deed recorded as War Merit or as a special acquisition?” Zhang Yunliang suddenly asked.

“What’s the difference?”
“Special acquisition is recorded as such and converted into Silver, which will be given to you later, acting as a material reward.
An Evil Person from the Blood God Sect is estimated to be worth over a thousand taels.
If you choose to record it as merit, killing two Blood God Sect Evil People counts as ten times Small Merit.
Accumulate a hundred times Small Merit, and then earn Great Merit once, and you can be promoted to flag master of the Star Patrol Guard,” Zhang Yunliang explained, then added, “Earning merits can lead to military promotion.
There are many benefits to a military rank, but as you grow stronger, it becomes easier to gain Small Merit.”
Xu Jin understood the hint Zhang Yunliang was giving.
At his current stage, it would be better to count it as a special acquisition, given his need for Cultivation resources.
“Then record it as a special acquisition.”
“Alright, special acquisitions are recorded after returning to the Taoist Institute, so don’t be hasty.
Now, will you continue here, or shall I bring you back?” Zhang Yunliang asked.
“Continue.”
“Good, be careful!
I’ll help scope out the area for you.”
The moment Zhang Yunliang leaped into the air, he suddenly called out, “Next time don’t forget to extract the Star Core from a Star Beast.”
Xu Jin: “…”
A good person is truly good, but…
With Zhang Yunliang helping to survey the vicinity, Xu Jin wasn’t in a hurry to leave this troublesome place.
After searching around, his expression lit up with joy.
The spoils were not insubstantial.
Indeed, there seemed to be some truth to the idiom “murder and arson bring one gold belts.”
The Silver Xu Jin found on these two Blood God Sect Evil People wasn’t much, just over two hundred taels, half a bottle of Star Refilling Pill, six Rejuvenation Pills, and some antiseptic medicine and the like.
However, inside the two men’s backpacks, there were several herbs and even some rare treasures of Heaven and Earth, not many in number but certainly valuable.
Altogether, the spoils were worth nearly two thousand taels!
There was also an Arm Shield Star Weapon that proved very useful during the fight.
Xu Jin didn’t hesitate and strapped it to his own left arm.
When he found a waist badge from Jinshan Taoist Institute in one of their pockets, Xu Jin’s expression darkened, and he knew their origin.
These two had killed at least one disciple from the Jinshan Taoist Institute.
If he hadn’t been so vigilant, he might have been the one to die.
In an instant, Xu Jin’s eyes narrowed as he found a small package sewn into the lining of Yang Ba’s clothes.
Inside were two booklets.
One was the Blood Introduction Star Casting Technique that Xu Jin had seen before, and the other was the Blood Introduction Beast Taming Technique.
After carefully looking them over, Xu Jin promptly destroyed them.
The Blood Introduction Beast Taming Technique looked practical, but it could only be used with the Blood Introduction Blood Jade.
Useless.
A few breaths later, Xu Jin stood before the body of Jiang Long, killed by a Star Arrow, his brow furrowed deeply.
He detected at least nine different living human scents on Jiang Long’s clothing.
Most people wouldn’t notice such a detail, but with the help of the Spirit Sniffing Star Pattern, he could clearly distinguish them.
Two of the scents belonged to Xu Jin and Zhang Yunliang, and another to Yang Ba, who had been killed.
That meant there were still six other human scents, all of whom had been in close contact with Jiang Long in a short period.
In other words, were there at least six other Evil People from the Blood God Sect in these woods?
A few breaths later, Xu Jin recorded these six human scents, then turned and headed into the distant forest.
