Chapter 269: The Worst Situation

Chapter 269: The Worst Situation

Just as a Star General had Early, Middle and Late Stage strength divisions to each Realm, after a Star General comprehended a Dark Rank, each of her Heaven, Earth, Dark, and Yellow Techniques would similarly have their own ranking.

If a Star General comprehended a technique of an even higher level, it would be called "Phoenix."¹

In simple terms, Huan Wen's "Phoenix Dark Rank" was above Dark Rank but below Earth Rank. More or less, it could be understood as a technique higher than Dark Rank, so after she used the Phoenix level Dark Rank, Wang Sengbian naturally suffered total defeat. Let alone top-notch Third Layer Greater Thunder Tribulation cultivators, even Human Sovereigns would be careful of losing their lives. This was the reason why Qin Weiyu would make Chen Mo stay as far away as he could; defeating Huan Wen was practically the sleeptalk of a fool.

Of course, a Phoenix level Heaven, Earth, Dark, or Yellow was very difficult to comprehend. Perhaps only one in ten Star Generals were able to. Furthermore, it was said only single word Star Names had this qualification.

Huan Wen was worthy of her single word Star Name as the Earthly Attacking Star, the Tail Fire Star Field's number one Star General, to have comprehended a Phoenix Dark Rank at Yellow Court Realm. For Chen Mo to prevail over her honestly was harder than climbing to Heaven.

"Hmph, right now while Huan Wen is injured is our best chance. If we do not kill her now, there will be no more opportunities in the future."

Qiao Yuyu and Gao Zhen's eyes seethed with hatred when they watched her kill the Northern Barbarians' Four Great Warriors. Seeing Huan Wen did not chase after Wang Sengbian, they believed her injuries were severe, and they were unwilling to let go of this opportunity. When they heard Huan Wen's taunt, they did not hesitate to attack at all.

"Those fools." Qin Weiyu inwardly shook her head as she watched their greed and impulsiveness.

"Don't tell me you want to go, too?" Qin Weiyu solemnly said: "Wang Sengbian did not truly injure Huan Wen at all. Now that she has entered Yellow Court Realm, one Dark Rank will not be enough to harm her vitality."

"Sorry, this Huan Wen wants to kill my big brother. If I don't kill her, she will kill me." Chen Mo made his choice.

"Won't you think of Nianyou?" Qin Weiyu was somewhat furious at the man's hot-headedness.

Chen Mo fell silent. He stared at the deep starry sky in Nianyou's eyes. Little Nianyou looked at him, and as if understanding his innermost thoughts, she did not have anything to say.

Chen Mo pecked Nianyou on the cheek and left one last word: "Weiyu, help me look after Nianyou. This time, I will meet Huan Wen." He donned a mask.

Qin Weiyu shook her head and sighed. She had traded blows with Huan Wen once before, suffering serious injury and nearly losing her life. Right now, she did not have the capabilities to help him. She saw that Chen Mo's mind was already determined. A momentary glint flashed in her eyes before immediately fading.

Furthermore, Qiao Yuyu and Gao Zhen were each using their strongest abilities and magic treasures to face Huan Wen just as the fifth Star Mansion Spirit Stone, "Rooftop," descended from the sky.

The Star Mansion Spirit Stones had one particular characteristic, which was that they could not touch the ground. If they did come into contact, then they would lose their spiritual power and turn into an ordinary rock. In Star World, Star Mansion Spirit Stones were very valuable, and fighting over them was such an instantaneous matter.

Huan Wen held back out of fear she would destroy the "Rooftop," and this also gave Qiao Yuyu and Gao Zhen a chance.

"Startling Rainbow Under Heaven Sword Array!"

"Armored Backwater!"

Qiao Yuyu's Flying Swords once again transformed into a seven-colored rainbow light. A rainbow rain of swords over Weightbearer Mountain continuously fell towards Huan Wen. The sword array restricted Huan Wen's movements while Gao Zhen seized the chance to close in and swing his enormous weapon.

With his back to the enemy, the muscles in his arms explosively swelled, ruthlessly smashing towards Huan Wen.

Huan Wen glanced at the falling Star Mansion Spirit Stone. She disdained the encirclement of the two Great Cultivators as beneath her contempt. "You cultivators are so ignorant and arrogant."

The Cold Night Locked Moon Spear unleashed a storm-like Star Energy that easily smashed apart the entire Startling Rainbow Sword Array. In the face of Gao Zhen's domineering strength, not even Huan Wen's hair was disturbed. The girl thrust her lance, and the tip stopped the thousand catty heavy slab of iron, appearing calm as she suppressed Gao Zhen's Armored Backwater attack.

Gao Zhen's tiger-like body shook, and his pupils contracted.

Huan Wen raised her hand. Terrifying Star Energy immediately punched through Gao Zhen's sturdy body. This wild and fierce man, who was several hundred catties in weight, was sent flying like a soap bubble, blood pouring out of him.

Huan Wen then moved to catch the Black Turtle Star Mansion Spirit Stone "Rooftop." Just at this moment, a long saber appeared. Snow-white saber-light unexpectedly attacked her with sharp killing intent. Huan Wen's reactions were swift. She brandished her palm, evading the saber-light as she counterattacked her target. Even without using her Destined Star Weapon, the Star Energy contained in the palm of a Star General was enough to rupture the meridians of any cultivator.

Chen Mo also struck with a palm attack.

Seeing a cultivator actually trade palm strike with her, Huan Wen nearly burst into laughter.

Palm struck palm, and Huan Wen's jeer instantly changed into astonishment.

A surging Star Energy came from her opponent's palm, surprisingly not losing out to her own. Huan Wen was caught unprepared. In order to avoid the following slash from the saber, Seven Stars could only pull back.

This retreat caused Huan Wen's arrogance to completely crumble.

The "Rooftop" Star Mansion Spirit Stone was caught by Chen Mo.

"Another Star General?" Huan Wen sneered. "This Palace will kill all that come today!"

Without leaving any room to breathe, Huan Wen immediately launched an attack.

Chen Mo snapped his fingers and activated the Thousand Jun Ruler.

The heavy ruler-shadow hurtled towards Huan Wen, but before it could touch her, it was swatted aside by Seven Stars' spear. Seizing this gap, Northern Dipper's cold edge was already touching the girl's supple skin.

Hm?

Huan Wen's brows rose. She had been cut.

The girl's expression was in disbelief. The Northern Dipper saber-light that followed closely thus informed her – there was still an endless stream of surprises.

After a torrential offensive, Chen Mo appeared to be aggressive, but he nevertheless was unable to gain any advantage. Other than that initial cut, Huan Wen had become very cautious. Her Yellow Court Realm Star Energy was enough to handle this not so ferocious swell of attacks.

"Hè!!"

Gao Zhen let out a fierce shout, launching an attack on her flank. His entire person seemed to become a mountain, and all of his magic energy was concentrated into this unstoppable strike.

Huan Wen flung her spear, once again using Yellow Rank "Chest Opener."

Silver spear-light wove through the air, knocking Chen Mo away and stabbing towards Gao Zhen like a viper.

Bang.

The man's entire body shook. His chest was ruthlessly ripped apart by Star Energy, and his power immediately dissipated. Huan Wen's Star Energy honestly was too strong. With the combination of her Yellow Rank, a Fate Realization Realm cultivator was as flimsy as a sheet of paper.

As if throwing away a piece of trash, Huan Wen did not even look as she brushed past him. Thereupon, Gao Zhen's entire body was dismembered as his formidable defenses crumbled.

"Gao Zhen~!!!!" Qiao Yuyu screamed in grief. The woman's eyes were red, and she went insane using every kind of power and magic treasure.

"Don't be impulsive."

Chen Mo hurriedly yelled.

Bang, bang, bang.

Several dozen spear-lights beat back his worries. Huan Wen waved her hand and leapt into the sky.

Although Earthly Fiend Star Generals were not able to go up to Heaven or down into Hell, bounding several thousand meters in one leap was not a problem. Huan Wen arrived in front of Qiao Yuyu in the blink of an eye, shocking the woman. Fluster and fury wove together into a complex mixture, and her Flying Swords gathered into a resplendent rainbow light that hacked at Huan Wen.

Huan Wen stepped on the air, using her palm to repel the Flying Sword. Qiao Yuyu then spat out a "Yi Wood Water Thunder." However, this was unable to save her losing battle. Huan Wen firmly endured this Yi Wood Water Thunder. Then her hand gripped her spear and slashed.

Silver light flit past Weightbearer Mountain, cutting countless trees and mountain rocks in two.

Qiao Yuyu's eyes widened, her entire body stiffened, and her rainbow Flying Swords lost their glow. A line of blood split her body in two. A cultivator's powerful magic treasures and powers were completely useless in the face of a Star General's techniques. Once in close quarters, a cultivator was faced with disaster.

Chen Mo's complexion paled. He never imagined Huan Wen would be so formidable. In just a few breaths' time, she actually terminated two top-notch cultivators one after the other.

Huan Wen landed on the ground. When her feet touched the ground, her Earthly Fiend Star Energy seemed to flow into her body like actual matter, making her vitality glow once again.

"Just you left." Huan Wen sized up Chen Mo.

Looking at this stereotypical masculine body, Seven Stars' gaze was a bit skeptical: "A man? Has This Palace seen you somewhere before."

Chen Mo let out a low snicker.

Seeing him not answer, Huan Wen arrogantly said: "Perhaps all dead people look the same."

Bang.

Weapons scraped together and produced sparks, and Star Energy collided with ear-piercing rings.

Huan Wen was a bit surprised that Chen Mo had quickly blocked her attack. The girl then shrugged her shoulders and shook off Chen Mo.

Chen Mo exercised the Star Manual Of Masters Gan And Shi and activated the powerful Black Turtle Body, similarly jolting her.

Huan Wen felt her shoulder numb as she retreated several steps.

"Not a bad body." Huan Wen evaluated as she thrust her spear.

Chen Mo spun with the Bowl Steps, evading her spear's tip and endlessly circling her.

"Servant Star?"

Huan Wen discerned Chen Mo's status and continuously launched a string of attacks. However, Chen Mo had ample experience, and these attacks produced no effect whatsoever. Relying on his sturdy body cultivated through the Black Turtle, he could be considered as being able to barely withstand Huan Wen.

But it was far, far from enough to defeat Huan Wen with this.

Chen Mo was waiting.

Waiting for a chance to deliver a single, absolutely fatal strike. He could not give Huan Wen any chance to catch her breath.

The decisively lethal Huan Wen had no interest at all in getting entangled. After several of her attacks were thwarted, Huan Wen sensed that Chen Mo was apparently waiting for something. Her martial general's intuition caught wind of danger.

However, this slight danger very quickly faded away.

The sixth Star Mansion Spirit Stone, "Encampment," fell from the sky. Following the descent of the sixth Star Mansion Spirit Stone into the world, the Zhi Ming Star Image appeared increasingly dim. Only the last "Wall" Spirit Stone was still shimmering, the last light of the seven glowing stars.

Chen Mo's body moved.

He wanted to seize a Star Mansion Spirit Stone, but Huan Wen anticipated his thinking. She sneered in her heart. If she let a Servant Star steal a Spirit Stone from under her watch, then she would have wasted her existence as the Earthly Attacking Star.

The girl did not hesitate at all to place her thoughts on the "Encampment." She jumped up, using a Yellow Rank Spear Technique.

At the moment her legs left the ground, Chen Mo's expression changed.

Chance!!

The aura of weakness enveloping Chen Mo's body vanished into thin air, and a domineering fury erupted from his eyes. Chen Mo used the Deva Eyes and attacked with Qiankun One Qi.

Without the addition of her Earthly Fiend Star Energy, Huan Wen was no longer unrivalled like before. The white qi immediately bound her arms and legs. Huan Wen's eyes widened, and she saw the Chen Mo on the ground leap up. Those eyes brimmed with scorching killing intent from behind the mask.

But Chen Mo's movements were nevertheless downplayed, drawing his blade neither quickly nor slowly.

Yellow Rank Ice Breaker Snow Slicer was unleashed from Northern Dipper.

Snow-white saber-light passed over Huan Wen's body and heavily cracked her armor. Huan Wen vomited blood and was cut down onto the ground. Chen Mo was unable to go take that Spirit Stone, as he immediately followed up with a second attack to kill Huan Wen. In his mind, there was only one hasty thought, and that was to slay Seven Stars.

Bang.

The crisp sound of his weapon shattered Chen Mo's beautiful wish.

Huan Wen used the armor on the back of her hand to deflect Chen Mo's attack, "You were too hasty." The girl lifted her face, an unprecedented coldness in her eyes.

Chen Mo's heart shuddered, and all of his skin crawled with a chill.

Not good.

Spear-light slashed, forcing Chen Mo back. His outer jacket was ripped apart to reveal snow-shite clothes, and at the same time, his mask split in two, falling to the ground.

"So the person that night was you…"

"White Clothed Tanhua – Your Highness Chen Mo."

Huan Wen stared fixedly at Chen Mo's face. She suddenly grinned.

Chen Mo was unable to smile. Even with all his planning, his lethal blow was unable to take Huan Wen's life. The disparity between Servant Star and Star General was still too wide.

This honestly was the worst situation.

1. Well, this is new. ?
