“These two… their strength was truly remarkable!”
Xia Xuan sat on the ground with her knees hugged, her red pupils gazing far into the sky at Li Ba and Shen Die, her expression much more solemn.
Among the seven Star Lords, she had only seen Chen Chunhua in action before.
Although Chen Chunhua was ultimately defeated by Wu Qi, the strength he displayed was still formidable.
As for Li Ba and Shen Die before her…
Li Ba’s Four Symbols Unification could be said to have the strongest physical body at the Shining Star Level she’d ever seen!
And Shen Die, if she didn’t make a move, it was fine. But when she did, it was always at critical moments.
Especially that last strike which seemed to be a Spiritual Attack, completely annihilating Aquarius’s hope for Regeneration!
“But no matter what, this battle is… finally won!” Xia Xuan let out a long breath.
High in the sky, Li Ba looked excitedly at the lifeless Aquarius.
“Good job, Shen Die!!”
Li Ba excitedly stepped forward to check.
However, just as he took a step, the phantom-like signs of the Four Symbols on his body suddenly dispersed, turning into rays of green, white, red, and black light that merged into his chest.
In an instant, intense pain spread from every part of his body.
Li Ba’s face turned pale as he began to tremble violently as if having a convulsion. Beads of sweat as large as beans fell continuously from his body like rain.
“Can’t… hold… on…!”
Li Ba gritted his teeth and let out a muffled groan before completely passing out and falling from the sky.
Not far away, Shen Die’s expression changed upon seeing this.
In normal circumstances, it would be fine. But if Li Ba fell from that height right now, the consequences would be unimaginable!
A purple flash burst from Shen Die’s body as she turned into a stream of light and rushed forward.
But just as she was halfway there, several silver chains shot out rapidly from the Void, entangling Li Ba in mid-air.
Shen Die’s pupils contracted.
What was this? Could it be that Aquarius wasn’t completely dead?
But in the next moment, a flash of silver light appeared, and a person dressed in a star robe used Instant Teleportation to arrive beside Li Ba.
“Su Xing Lord?” Seeing who it was, Shen Die was stunned.
On the ground, Xia Xuan was also surprised.
“Su Yuan? What is he doing here!”
“Congratulations, everyone, for successfully slaying a powerful foe!” Su Yuan glanced around the scene and smiled.
…
Su Yuan and Shen Die returned to the ground. Xia Xuan, having somewhat recovered her strength and Star Power, also approached.
“Su Xing Lord, what brings you here?” Shen Die asked.
“Seeing that things here didn’t seem to be resolved, I came to check just in case. But now it appears to have been smoothly handled…”
Su Yuan observed Xia Xuan, Shen Die, and Li Ba who was still trembling despite being unconscious. His expression turned more serious.
It was clear that a fierce battle had taken place here.
Su Yuan had fought with many of the Star Envoys before and understood their strength.
Among the Twelve Palaces’ Star Envoys, there were no weaklings. There was only a distinction between “strong” and “even stronger.”
Shen Die asked, “Didn’t the southern flank’s Star Envoys come to support?”
“They did. Just like you informed, Virgo came from the northwest.”
Shen Die was puzzled and asked, “Then why…”
“Because I took care of them.”
“Took care of… huh? Took care of them?!” Shen Die’s eyes widened slightly. She quickly asked, “Su Xing Lord, did you kill Virgo?”
“Of course.” Su Yuan smiled, “But there was nothing left after his death, so I couldn’t show you anything.”
On hearing Su Yuan’s confirmation, both Shen Die and Xia Xuan’s pupils contracted. This unexpected news was astonishing!
Previously, they had only heard the names of the Twelve Palaces’ Star Envoys.
But today, they had directly confronted them.
Whether it was Leo or Aquarius, their strength was formidable and extremely dangerous!
Even though they won as planned, it was a narrow victory. Xia Xuan and Li Ba had nearly lost their combat capability.
Unexpectedly, Su Yuan, who was supposed to intercept, had slain Virgo all by himself.
And he had arrived so early without even appearing to be injured.
With a slight thought, Shen Die turned her hand, and a Purple Butterfly flew out from her palm, disappearing quickly to locations unknown.
