Chapter 781: Chapter 317: Defense Breached

Xu Jin had flown to Xingyang Battle City from Da Chen Battle City last time, taking almost one hour and a half on the way.

However, that was the speed of a normal Fourth Tier Early Period cultivator.

Roughly less than a hundred meters per second, about 700 li per hour, he flew the whole way with virtually no exhaustion.

But that was far from Xu Jin’s top speed.

Xu Jin’s Thunder Wing, coupled with the Meteor Star Pattern, could reach speeds exceeding 250 meters per second, over 1800 li per hour at maximum burst. At this rate, he could arrive at Da Chen Battle City in just one hour.

However, flying at that speed would not only be very energy-draining, but it would also be highly conspicuous.

Even experts in the Fifth Tier Mid to Late Period might not be able to reach such speeds.

In public, it’s still better to keep a low profile.

So Xu Jin set out at noon and continued his leisurely journey to Da Chen Battle City.

At the same time, Xu Jin also prepared to fish for a catch.

Being shadowed every day for the past ten days had been quite irritating for Xu Jin.

That Ma, capable of Invisibility and Stealth, would come to observe him each day, lingering for at least an hour, three or four times or more.

The street outside Xu Jin’s courtyard was under continuous surveillance.

This made Xu Jin extremely uncomfortable.

Now with four Mingji Star Patterns engraved, Xu Jin’s maximum perception range surpassed three hundred meters, making his senses incredibly sharp.

Imagine, feeling watched by eyes in the distance even while you sleep. What a feeling that would be.

Inside Xingyang Battle City, it wasn’t appropriate to make a move.

Xu Jin thus decided to use this opportunity to fish for a catch outside, to get rid of the problem.

Over the past few months, Xu Jin’s mindset had changed drastically.

When he had first arrived in this world, he adhered to the philosophy of not offending others unless offended himself, somewhat influenced by his previous life’s moral scruples.

But now, having experienced so much, he had changed.

Since you dare to target me, I’ll make sure you are beyond redemption!

After all, there is a saying that a thief has only a thousand days, but there is no defense that lasts a thousand days.

It’s worth mentioning that there are also a vast number of ordinary people in the Galaxy Battlefield.

First, cultivators in the Galaxy Battlefield need ordinary people to manage daily necessities like clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Many people have servants.

Second, in the Galaxy Battlefield, it’s easier to get rich quick!

In the present world, you might make a few coins or a few dozen coins selling drinks or food, which is quite good.

But in the Galaxy Battlefield, if you don’t make several times that amount, it’d be a shame for the hardships of leaving home.

Ordinary people can amass wealth in the Galaxy Battlefield in a few years that they couldn’t earn in a lifetime in the current world.

Of course, opportunity and risk come hand in hand.

The present world is safer.

But in the Galaxy Battlefield, if you carelessly offend some cultivator with your words, you wouldn’t even know how you died.

Although the Battle Cities have laws, the backlog is like a mountain, and it is difficult to find the culprit.

The reason is simple: each Battle City is established over a thoroughly conquered Star Domain.

The land is vast and the population is sparse.

Around Xingyang Battle City, spanning two thousand li, there’s only this one city.

Kill someone, then flee into the wilderness, or simply live in another Battle City—who can find you?

Therefore, the prices within the Galaxy Battlefield are high for a reason, and the risks are high as well!

But still, people flock to it!

Apart from that, there are also large numbers of miners, prisoners, and so forth.

“Eh, is Young Hero Qi heading out?”

Before even leaving the Battle City, Xu Jin ran into an acquaintance, Hou Yunzhang, the captain of the Swordman Mercenary Team.

After selling him the Mid-tier Star Healing Emblem last time, this Hou Yunzhang even specifically came to express his thanks. Naturally, they also became friends.

After a few encounters, and with Xu Jin’s deliberate interactions, they had become good friends.

Maintaining a good relationship with him also facilitated getting information related to Ning Yuchan.

Occasionally mention Ning Yuchan, and the guy could go on endlessly, clearly a fervent admirer of Yuchan.

“Yes, Brother Hou, I’m planning to take care of some matters,” said Xu Jin.

Hou Yunzhang nodded, looked around in all directions, but didn’t notice anything unusual, “Brother, be careful when you’re out. If anything goes wrong, your life comes first. You can also give a shout to Brother Hou me.

I’ll be there if necessary!”

“Thank you!”

After Xu Jin gave a fist-and-palm salute, he rose into the air and flew away from Xingyang Battle City, heading towards Da Chen Battle City.

Almost the moment Xu Jin left, Ma, from the Seven Killings Hall, hurriedly found Hall Master Zheng Guan, “Hall Master, the kid has left the city. It looks like he’s heading toward Da Chen Battle City.”

Upon hearing this, Hall Master Zheng Guan stood up abruptly, “Excellent! After guarding for more than ten days, the fat sheep has finally left the house. But, better safe than sorry, take Liu with you, and you will be invincible!”

Liu was a staunch follower of Hall Master Zheng Guan, with rock-solid Cultivation Level. Though merely on the Fifth Rank Sixth Layer, he had often beheaded cultivators of the same realm and even slain Alien Race members across tiers.

In less than a dozen breaths, the three of them rose into the air, rapidly chasing in the direction of Xu Jin’s flight.

Although sparsely populated, there were still occasional cultivators flying on the way to Da Chen Battle City.

The closer to Da Chen Battle City, the more numerous they became.

Most of them traveled in groups.

But lone travelers like Xu Jin were still relatively rare.

Because beyond a certain distance, it became quite dangerous.

The simple reason was the coverage area of the Star-picking Order.

Each Battle City was equipped with a branch of the Star-picking Tower.

A one-star Star-picking Order covered a radius of four hundred li from the main tower, and two hundred li from the branch. A two-star order made it eight hundred li and four hundred li respectively. A three-star encompassed twelve hundred li from the main tower and six hundred from the branch, while a four-star order offered coverage of twenty-four hundred li from the main tower and twelve hundred from the branch.
