Chapter 1138: Star Origin Guards’ Battle Formation

“It’s me! Hide your cultivation and lower your weapon!”

When Shang Xia felt that a massive and messy battle was inevitable, a transmission caused him to freeze.

“Hurry up! Pretend you have been captured. I’m on the Star Ship headed your way!”

The transmission rang in his mind once again, and Shang Xia was sure of it. Kou Chongxue was speaking to him!

With no time to think how Kou Chongxue managed to sneak his way onto a Star Ship controlled by the Star Origin Guards, he knew what he had to do. He maintained his posture to fight, but he seemed to realize that he couldn’t escape. His cultivation transformed into that of a third element Martial Dipper Realm expert and he prepared to face the Star Ship.

The ship moved quickly. It arrived in the air above Shang Xia the next moment and 7 figures that were shrouded in starlight rushed out to surround Shang Xia.

“Oh? Third element of the Martial Dipper Realm? It’s just a small fish!” The captain released a strange laughter, and he seemed to be mocking the cultivation level of the rat they found.

“Deputy Captain Feng, this person’s cultivation level is the highest among everyone we ran into in the wilderness! Only the leaders of those hidden chess pieces of the various worlds would have a cultivation level like this! This isn’t a small fish! Looks like we might have lucked out this time!” One of the Star Origin Guards chuckled in response.

Deputy Captain Feng waved his hands impatiently and snorted, “Shut up! Look at how happy you are! It’s just a third element Martial Dipper Realm cultivator. Hmph, my goal is to fight a True Immortal this time!”

The other Star Origin Guards laughed in response, “Deputy Captain, a True Immortal isn’t someone we can run into easily. Even if we have the ability to fight with one, that doesn’t mean that we can win anyway! If we really get into a conflict with a True Immortal, we might be the ones who can’t last the entire battle. Moreover, we don’t have any experience fighting one either...”

The others quickly agreed, “That’s right, that’s right! Deputy Captain, you are strong and talented, but we don’t wish to fight a True Immortal...”

After they spoke, everyone burst into laughter.

Deputy Captain Feng also chuckled with them and he muttered in response, “All of you are a bunch of fools who aren’t interested in growing stronger! Hehe! At least I know now...”

It was clear his relationship with his teammates were good, and he didn’t seem to care about them laughing at him.

As they joked with each other, they seemed to have ‘enraged’ the surrounded Shang Xia.

“You can kill me, but you can’t humiliate me!” Shang Xia roared with rage when he saw how they were disregarding him. It was as though he suffered huge shame as he reached into his sleeves to draw a sword, ready to fight.

“Hey, hey, look at that! He’s starting to get anxious!” The Star Origin Guard who started to joke around with their deputy captain was the first to speak. However, he didn’t seem like he was planning to help his deputy captain. Whatever it was, he looked like he just wanted to watch the world burn.

Out of the other Star Origin Guards, 2 young members seemed to want to help, but they were stopped by those around them.

“Relax. Deputy Captain Feng is already a fourth element Martial Dipper Realm expert. That person is no match for him.”

“Yeah... Deputy Captain Feng, you need to establish your prestige here! The captain has plans on retiring soon and his excuse of being injured might just be enough to get him out. Even though your cultivation realm is similar to the captain's, shouldn’t you show us how strong you really are so that we can support you to take over his position?”

The bunch of them started laughing to themselves. Despite none of them showing signs that they would come to help, they already got into position to surround Shang Xia.

There were many people who poked their heads out from the Star Ship in the air above as they eagerly anticipated the battle that was about to break out.

All of them were members of the subordinate powers of the Star Origin Guards, and they were usually the henchmen who listened to instructions on patrol.

Feng Ziying thrust his spear out thrice and forced Shang Xia back. Seeing as his companions were still unwilling to assist, he finally yelled, “Hey, you bunch of assholes, He might not be my opponent, but he’s cornered now and he might risk his life to fight me! Are you really just going to stand at the side and watch?”

Even though he was scolding them, his spear didn’t slow down as he quickly suppressed Shang Xia.

However, with Shang Xia ‘struggling for his life’, Feng Ziying wasn’t able to take him down immediately. The other Star Origin Guards also realized that the situation seemed a little risky.

“Alright, alright, everyone, let’s move together. We’ll take this guy down and we can head back into the city to take a break.”

Amidst the laughter, the Star Origin Guards standing around also made their move. Despite their tomfoolery, they moved decisively.

When they made their move, they coordinated well and the Star Robes on them seemed to come to life. It connected all of them and they managed to completely suppress Shang Xia!

Shang Xia had long heard of the famed battle formation of the Star Origin Guards. It was the first time he was seeing it for himself, and it was also in such a strange situation.

He had to admit that the battle formation deserved its reputation. When the 7 Star Origin Guards fully activated it, Shang Xia felt a lot more pressure than before with his cultivation suppressed to the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm.

If not for the fact that he had a lot of combat experience and an amazing sword art, he might have been defeated already.

From the looks of it, their battle formation possessed the ability to contend against a True Immortal. However, the combat strength they revealed wasn’t actually enough to defeat one. In Shang Xia’s eyes, their limit would be fighting someone at the level of himself when he was at the grand completion stage of the Five Element Realm back then.

Feng Ziying could see the doubts in Shang Xia’s eyes. Seeing as Shang Xia could still withstand their might, he yelled, “He’s a strong one! We shouldn’t drag this out any longer! We have to use our full strength!

As soon as he spoke, Shang Xia felt everything in front of him turn blurry for a moment. The space beneath the Star Origin Guards became illusory as the starlight around them glowed even brighter.

He soon noticed what happened. Their robes weren’t producing starlight but instead, it was gathering the starlight from above.

When they attacked again, they seemed to be able to draw on the power of the world to form a weird domain!

That was the true power and intricacies of the Star Origin Guards battle formation!

With Shang Xia keeping his cultivation level at the third element of the Martial Dipper Realm, he knew that he had to allow them to capture him now that they had unleashed their ultimate technique!
