Chapter 886: Chapter 353: Altar Sky Road (Part 2)
Seeing Hou Yunzhang step forward, Xu Jin’s face revealed a smile.
Actually, his action at this moment was essentially a selection.
Having fought for so long, Xu Jin felt that solo efforts ultimately wouldn’t achieve anything.
Even the State Preceptor required countless people to assist him, countless people to serve him, before establishing the Da Chen National Daoist Institute we see today.
Thus, if he had the chance, he also needed to cultivate a few assistants.
Today’s matter was a good opportunity; emotions forged in life and death are the strongest!
Seeing Hou Yunzhang step forward, Xu Jin didn’t waste words. He directly took out a Sixth-tier top-grade Defensive Star Artifact, the Fire Bull Shield, and handed it to Hou Yunzhang in front of everyone.
"Captain Hou, refine this treasure immediately, it should greatly increase your survival probability later!
Moreover, these two emblems count as Sixth-tier middle-grade Defense Emblems. At critical moments, you can also use them to save your life.
Use them when you need to."
As Xu Jin’s words resounded, not only Hou Yunzhang himself was shocked, even Cui Chongguang, Li Zhen, and others were stunned, including Ji Xiuchuan being startled.
To send out a Sixth-tier top-grade Defensive Star Artifact and casually give away two Sixth-tier middle-grade Defense Emblems, what is the background of this Heavenly Saint Qi?
How does it seem even wealthier than their Ji Family?
The Ji Family, especially Domain Master Ji Cheng, sitting in the Huashi Star Domain for twenty years, with wealth considered affluent.
There are several Sixth-tier Star Artifacts.
But they don’t have a Sixth-tier top-grade Star Artifact they can casually give away.
And sixth-tier middle-grade Defense Emblems.
If they had them, the Domain Master wouldn’t be seriously injured!
"This... this is too precious! I..."
"However precious, it’s a dead object, what could be more valuable than Captain Hou’s life?" Xu Jin said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Hou Yunzhang nodded and accepted the items, but decided not to refine them, "Then I won’t refine them, using barehanded can still exert seventy percent power, after this battle, I’ll return them to you!"
"No, you’d better refine them, that missing thirty percent power might be the difference between life and death." Xu Jin replied.
"But if I refine it, and return it, I’m afraid it will harm my Divine Soul once." Hou Yunzhang said with a bitter smile.
"Who said you have to return it! After this battle, the Fire Bull Shield will belong to Captain Hou."
Hou Yunzhang was stunned.
Cui Chongguang and Li Zhen, upon hearing Xu Jin’s words, now regretted so deeply.
A Fire Bull Shield plus two Sixth-tier middle-grade Defense Emblems, thereby making the chances of surviving and returning from this battle greatly increase.
Wouldn’t that mean getting a Sixth-tier top-grade Star Artifact for free!
A Sixth-tier top-grade Defensive Star Artifact—such a rare item that you hardly see in auction houses!
At this moment, Li Zhen was extremely tempted, even feeling an impulse to follow suit.
Yet he hesitated again, thinking that this Heavenly Saint Qi surely didn’t have a second Sixth-tier top-grade Defensive Star Artifact, right?
If not, then why risk his life?
It wasn’t worth it just for a couple of Defense Emblems.
Ultimately, Li Zhen, after calculating for a long while, until Hou Yunzhang completed refining the Sixth-tier top-grade Star Artifact Fire Bull Shield, didn’t speak or take that step.
In fact, Xu Jin did have another!
The State Preceptor sent over three Sixth-tier top-grade Defensive Star Artifacts, the Fire Bull Shield.
As for Xu Jin, he was not forcing anyone.
He needed comrades in arms.
Not those who calculate gains and losses to the extreme.
"Everyone, get ready."
Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jin softly spoke to Ning Yuchan, Ji Hongli, and Hou Yunzhang behind him.
The three nodded and began to activate various Defensive Star Skills, while in the Altar Sky Road, the Holy Clan Messenger Ju Shisan, who was observing the external situation, also issued an order in a deep voice.
"These humans are going to charge the formation, stop mobilizing the big array temporarily! When these humans charge into the array, unleash full force and annihilate them!"
Upon hearing this, Rock Armor King, Fire Scale King, and four other Sixth-tier Eighth and Ninth Layer aliens all rose, and vast Star Power began to be mobilized.
As the six individuals rose, at the center of the Star Pivot Array, six groups of Heaven and Earth Star Will, each of different colors, were converging and hovering there.
It was precisely this convergence of six-fold Heaven and Earth Star Will that allowed the entire Huashi Star Domain’s Origin Power to be mobilized through the Star Pivot Array, thus condensing the array into the Heavenly Road and achieving connection!
At this time, as six individuals rose, without anyone mobilizing the altar, the speed of the extension of the Heavenly Road abruptly slowed dramatically.
At the same time, above the altar’s sky road, Special Envoy Ju Zhang, with a golden unicorn on his head, sensed it and looked down to observe.
Xu Jin took a deep breath, as the Sixth-rank top-quality Star Device Golden Scale Armor appeared, with the solidified Star Skill Golden Scale Armor Folding activated, faintly visible, while the Fish Curtain Golden Bell manifested.
Behind Xu Jin, Ji Hongli, Ning Yuchan, and Hou Yunzhang mimicked the same.
Everyone understood.
The first moment of charging in is the most dangerous.
Because they must face the concentrated attacks of six Sixth-rank late-stage or even peak experts, that’s the real danger!
"I go first, you three must be a step behind me." Xu Jin stated.
The three behind nodded simultaneously.
There was no other option; any one of them, even the strongest Ning Yuchan, would be killed if targeted by three Sixth-rank Ninth Layer attacks at once!
This opening move had to be left to Xu Jin!
"Attack!"
The next instant, as Thunder Wings appeared on Xu Jin’s back, fifteen Heavenly Gang Thunder Chains suddenly manifested, and he charged into the altar’s sky road with a cloak of Thunder Light.
At the moment of rushing in, it felt like stepping into the Star Gate, with Starlight transforming.
