CHAPTER 813: CHAPTER 328: THE HIDDEN KING

"Run!"

Almost at the moment they saw six Sixth-tier Alien Species and over a hundred Fifth-tier Alien Species charging towards them, Xu Jin shouted at Ji Hongli while already pulling Ji Hongli up into the sky.

Ji Hongli, whose hand was being pulled, stumbled slightly, and in the next instant, frantically activated two pieces of Star Artifacts. The Starlight on the Wind Listening Wings behind her flashed to the extreme, while she pulled her hand out from Xu Jin’s grip.

Xu Jin then realized that his previous action was somewhat inappropriate.

But at the life-and-death moment, he couldn’t afford to care about such details.

Xu Jin hadn’t anticipated that the response from Cold Ice Royal City would be so intense, with the entire force dispatched to hunt them down.

In this situation, even having a Seventh-tier Emblem would be useless for Xu Jin.

With over a hundred Fifth-tier experts, if each of them attacked once, focusing their fire, they could turn Xu Jin and Ji Hongli into ashes.

The power in numbers is terrifying!

Xu Jin estimated that the Spring Thunder Star Domain must have faced attacks from the Human Race more than once; otherwise, they wouldn’t react so strongly.

Behind them, the King of Cold Ice, with five subordinates, took the lead in pursuing Xu Jin and Ji Hongli.

Initially, it was just a matter of efficiently eliminating these two human pests to prevent further harm to his clan. Otherwise, it would weaken his tribe’s strength.

However, when Ji Hongli shot into the sky, the Cold Ice King’s eyes suddenly lit up, and his expression instantly became fervent!

The aura of a Star Artifact!

And more than one!

Her feet had Sixth-tier Star Boots, her body was clad in Sixth-tier Star Armor, and behind her, a Fifth-tier Wind Wing.

This equipment made the Cold Ice King’s eyes widen in surprise.

Why are the present-day Human Race so detestable?

Although only Fifth-tier present-day Humans can enter the Spring Thunder Star Domain, these Fifth-tier humans often bring significant casualties to them, thanks to their Star Artifacts and Pill supplies, and Emblems that enhance their performance.

This causes them a great deal of trouble.

Previously, the Cold Ice King had seized several Fourth-tier and Fifth-tier Star Artifacts.

The seized Fifth-tier Star Artifacts provided him with significant advantages in battles against two other kings and even saved his life. He tasted the benefits, but most were damaged in the battles.

But today, he saw a Sixth-tier Star Artifact.

Sixth-tier Star Artifacts have stronger power and are not easily damaged during battles among Sixth-tier experts.

In an instant, the Cold Ice King changed his mind.

He had considered that it might be a trap!

After all, three Sixth-tier ones he had just sent out were destroyed.

But now, it seems likely due to the Sixth-tier Star Artifacts.

This item must be obtained.

"Lock the aura of this girl for me; don’t let her escape." The Cold Ice King shouted.

In front, Xu Jin and Ji Hongli were flying at high speed.

But even with two Star Artifacts assisting her, Ji Hongli’s speed was only slightly faster than an ordinary Sixth-tier expert. Compared to the Sixth-tier mid-late-stage experts with the Cold Ice King, she was still slower.

Especially compared to the Cold Ice King himself.

Gradually closing in.

Xu Jin looked at the Cold Ice King getting closer, but he remained calm.

Because he saw an opportunity.

The Cold Ice King’s all-out pursuit was creating distance from the Fifth-tier experts behind him.

As long as they weren’t focused fired by those hundred plus Fifth-tier ones, Xu Jin wasn’t afraid.

Dealing with just six Sixth-tier ones was still troublesome.

More time was needed.

In terms of speed, Xu Jin wasn’t worried.

If he wanted to escape, it wouldn’t be difficult.

Activating Flowing Flashes at double or even triple the burst, he could escape far away and disappear using invisibility to evade the enemy.

But Ji Hongli wasn’t capable yet.

Xu Jin had already decided to teach Ji Hongli the latest version of the Meteor Star Pattern later, otherwise, it would be inadequate for escaping.

Beside him, Ji Hongli, who heard the Cold Ice King’s shout, had already turned pale, biting her lip as if she had made some kind of resolution.

"Senior Brother Qi, they’re targeting me, this Cold Ice King has his eyes on me. I’ll lure them away, you escape." Ji Hongli said decisively.

Xu Jin was surprised and amused by Ji Hongli’s character.

"Six Sixth-tier ones, what’s there to fear, just lure them a bit farther."

Suddenly, Xu Jin realized the key point, "You said they’re targeting you?"

"I vaguely heard the Cold Ice King say he wants to lock onto my aura, not let me escape."

Ji Hongli said while flying, adding, "Senior Brother Qi, it’s seven Sixth-tier ones, why did you say six?"

This time, it was Xu Jin’s face that changed.

Fully activating the five Mingji Star Patterns, within a range of 350 meters, there were only six Sixth-tier ones visible to the naked eye, including six Sixth-tier ones.

"Where is this seventh one you mentioned?" Xu Jin asked with a serious expression.

"Wood series, with very high cultivation level, I can’t sense clearly, at least late Sixth-tier. When pursuing, I sensed it hiding among the trees, still trailing us from afar." Ji Hongli explained.

"Focus on this one."

Xu Jin’s forehead was sweating coldly.

Being ambushed and attacked by a late Sixth-tier expert wouldn’t be fun.

Over fifty breaths later, the Cold Ice King and his group of six were closing in, drawing closer and closer to Xu Jin and Ji Hongli, only ten miles away.

They estimated that in another twenty breaths, they would catch up.

However, similarly, the Cold Ice King and his group of six had already left their Fifth-tier troopers dozens of miles behind.

They had gained room for action.

But Xu Jin’s eyes rolled, coming up with a better idea.

"Hongli, let’s split up and escape!"
