Chapter 260: Let's See How Many Heads You Have

The Near-Deities of the Federation have almost all gone on the Starry Sky Expedition, so it’s impossible for anyone to come to the rescue.

As for those below the Near-Deity level, they didn’t believe anyone had the ability to rescue someone from here.

Huo Qinglan’s expression turned icy. “Have you people lost all conscience? If it weren’t for Changkong, you’d already be dead!”

Heng Xi, Yao Qing, and Nan Zhaokong stood up, surrounding Jiang Changkong. “As humans, we should have some conscience. If you want to touch him, you’ll have to go through us first.”

Lin Feng sneered. “Just with you?”

Huo Qinglan’s expression darkened as she looked at the three. “What about you? You’ve received the inheritance, and now you still want to deal with Changkong?”

The three Martial Artists remained cold-faced. “Sorry, but we think they’re right.”

Lin Feng straightened up, his Star Power surging, and said coldly:

“Huo Qinglan, there are only four of you, while there are seventeen of us.”

Huo Qinglan’s body shimmered with emerald starlight. “Lin Feng, you’ve become more disgusting with each passing day. If it weren’t for Changkong, you’d have died earlier!”

“Huo Qinglan, don’t act all righteous. I don’t believe you aren’t tempted by Jiang Changkong’s martial arts!”

Lin Feng sneered. “Enough talk. Let’s move.”

“Kill!”

Huo Qinglan roared, emerald starlight bursting forth, but its power was less than a tenth of its usual strength.

The Stellar Body Martial Artists fared even worse. In actual combat, their Star Power could only extend three meters from their bodies.

“Attack.” Yao Qing and the other two charged forward simultaneously. With only Huo Qinglan alone, they couldn’t hold out.

Boom!

Star Power clashed, and Huo Qinglan, along with Yao Qing and the others, were sent flying backward, crashing onto the stone platform, blood spraying from their mouths.

“Ha, this suppression force is really something. We can even injure Star-level experts now.”

A middle-aged Martial Artist said excitedly, his gaze fixed on Huo Qinglan. “You’ve always lorded over us, acting high and mighty. Today, we’ll settle the score.”

“And these three top-tier major factions—ha, if they all die here today, who would know how they died?” Lin Feng said coldly, his killing intent boiling.

“Indeed, in this place, the suppression force is terrifying. Stellar Bodies have a chance to slay Stars, and Stellar Embryos can slay Stellar Bodies, even Stars.”

A faint, chilling voice echoed, carrying a hint of coldness.

“Right, wait…”

Jin Hansheng sneered, then suddenly paused, his gaze shifting to where the voice came from. “Jiang Changkong, when did you wake up?”

Jiang Changkong sneered, golden light shimmering around him. “I never fell asleep. I’ve been watching all along, seeing what kind of behavior you display.”

“Perfect timing. Tell us all your martial arts, and we can give you a quicker death,” Lin Feng said indifferently.

“With so many Near-God Techniques, you still aren’t satisfied.”

Jiang Changkong sighed softly, brilliant golden light radiating from him. “A pack of ungrateful jackals. Since I could save you, I can also kill you!”

“Changkong…” Huo Qinglan and the other three quickly stood up, about to say something, but Jiang Changkong had already charged forward.

Roar!

A fierce roar echoed as six Power Runes materialized. Jiang Changkong’s body swelled, the Power Runes multiplying, his violent aura and immense blood energy shaking the surroundings.

Three-meter Golden Body!

Brilliant golden light, dazzling and piercing, the Power Runes attached to his fist as he threw a punch crashing down.

“Seeking death!”

Jin Hansheng snorted coldly, thrusting his sword forward.

Boom!

The punch landed, blood energy shaking, golden blood dripping as Jin Hansheng was sent flying backward, a mouthful of blood spraying out.

The fist was split open, golden blood rolling down.

Jin Hansheng climbed to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. “I’m growing more and more interested in your martial arts. It’s a shame you’re too weak. An injury like this, I can recover from in an instant.”

“Jiang Changkong, I advise you to cooperate with us. Otherwise, we can easily dismantle you.”

Lin Feng sneered coldly, “Do you really think you’re that Near-God corpse? Even suppressed, we’re still beyond your reach!”

Jiang Changkong’s wounds healed rapidly. “All four of you, lend me a weapon and help me hold off a few others.”

“A ninth-grade low-tier weapon should suit you.” Huo Qinglan took out a long blade, one of the metal attribute.

“Still struggling?” Lin Feng said coldly.

“Today, I will definitely kill you all. I swear it.”

Jiang Changkong’s massive body swayed, his Power Runes roaring as he attacked once more.

“Fool! Even if you get a ninth-grade low-tier weapon, it won’t change the facts!”

Jin Hansheng charged again, his long sword trembling.

Huo Qinglan summoned an emerald-green long sword, simultaneously blocking Lin Feng and three Stellar Body Martial Artists.

The other three intercepted three more Martial Artists.

The remaining ten Martial Artists all surrounded Jiang Changkong.

Thud

The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh echoed. Even the defense of the Three-meter Golden Body couldn’t withstand a top-tier eighth-grade weapon.

But none of them dared to strike a vital point—they didn’t dare kill Jiang Changkong.

Before obtaining the Star Array and his martial arts, if Jiang Changkong died, none of them would leave this place alive.

Jin Hansheng thrust his sword into Jiang Changkong’s arm, his expression icy as he prepared to retreat.

“You’re not going anywhere.” Jiang Changkong spoke coldly. Six Power Runes, like golden ropes, ensnared Jin Hansheng as the ninth-grade long blade descended.

Jin Hansheng sneered disdainfully, his Star Power vibrating as his long sword blocked the blade. “You think this can kill—”

Thump

A flash of silvery-white cold light swept past, and a head flew through the air.

“Come on, show me your limb regeneration.”

Jiang Changkong spoke coldly, a silvery-white long sword gleaming with a chilling light.

Jin Hansheng’s head quickly regrew. “You—”

Another head flew off, golden blood spilling and merging into the bloody aura, some splattering onto Jiang Changkong’s face.

“Keep going. Let me see how many heads you have.”

Thud

The long sword repeatedly pierced his body, leaving numerous wounds on Jiang Changkong, golden blood dripping continuously.

Jiang Changkong seemed unfazed, allowing the sword to tear through his defenses and stab into his body.

The silvery-white long sword slashed repeatedly, severing one head after another. Silvery-white Moon Laurel Leaves swayed, shimmering with a cold, harsh light.

“That sword is problematic!” one Martial Artist roared angrily, leaping forward, his long sword aimed straight at Jiang Changkong’s sword-wielding right hand.

Roar

The Power Runes roared, carrying the headless Jin Hansheng as a shield.

Thud

The long sword pierced directly through Jin Hansheng’s body. The Martial Artist’s face turned cold as the Power Runes swiftly coiled around him, and the silvery-white golden light descended once more.

Two heads flew into the air.

Jiang Changkong grinned, golden blood continuously gushing from his mouth. “One more. Let me see how many are left.”

“This guy is a damn lunatic!”

The Martial Artists behind him were shaken to the core, both shocked and furious.

They had lost count of how many times they had stabbed him. Even if it wouldn’t kill Jiang Changkong, didn’t he feel any pain?

“Throw them over. I can suppress the weakened ones.” Huo Qinglan shouted urgently.

Jiang Changkong didn’t hesitate, tossing the two directly toward her. The golden Power Runes then surged toward the remaining Martial Artists.

“Stop hesitating! Just suppress him. Keep him barely alive.” one Martial Artist roared angrily.

“If I don’t reveal it, I can only give it a try.” Jiang Changkong sighed softly, focusing his Essence, Qi, and Spirit onto the high-grade lower-tier Battle Form Star Array Diagram.

Boom

In an instant, thousands of Star Arrays surged and floated in his mind, with all kinds of profound intricacies flooding into his consciousness.

Roar

The six Power Runes trembled, swiftly retracting and coiling around Jiang Changkong’s body. A terrifying force and dense blood energy shook the surroundings.

The surging blood energy around him madly poured into Jiang Changkong’s body.

Roar

Another strange roar echoed, this time from the second-floor palace. The corpses that should have been dead once again unleashed a roar of Power Runes.
