Chapter 2096: Chapter 905: Accountability and Surprise Attack

On the newly captured Star Realm Fragment, under the command of Defender Guan, all True Monarchs and Star Lords are exerting their full effort, unleashing Star Power to draw this newly captured Star Realm Fragment.

The drawing of this Star Realm Fragment starts off slowly.

Once it gets going, it can continuously accelerate.

After 15 minutes, as this Medium-sized Star Realm Fragment begins to slowly fly in the Star Ruins Sky, the main army of Chize Star Island finally catches up.

Defender Guan is incredibly calm, having captured a home-field advantage; the advantage is on our side.

He commands the True Monarchs and elite Star Lords to be vigilant, guarding against a raid from Red Blade Star Island.

He’s hesitating whether or not to call for reinforcements.

If he calls for reinforcements, the war merit will be divided.

According to his previous nature, he would absolutely call for reinforcements, but now, he has Xu Jin.

The last time he collaborated with Xu Jin, they easily obliterated the enemy’s Six Tribulation True Monarch.

So what about this time? He believes that by working with Xu Jin, they could perhaps directly drive the enemy away.

Mainly because he feels that Xu Jin has grown stronger since returning from Tongxuan Star Island.

It’s not purely a feeling, but also comes from the combat achievements Xu Jin proactively displayed to him.

This time, Great Saint Xu Jin reported his combat achievements during the Vanguard Scout’s exploration: he slew four True Monarchs from the Silver Wing Clan—one Five Tribulations, two Four Tribulations, one Three Tribulations—and four Star Monarchs.

Last time, the Great Saint’s achievements were merely the slaying of one Four Tribulation True Monarch from the Silver Wing Clan, plus one Three Tribulations and one Two Tribulations.

But this time, both the quality and quantity have skyrocketed; there are two Four Tribulation True Monarchs, and one Five Tribulation True Monarch from the Silver Wing Clan.

When Xu Jin came to report his achievements, he was carefully observed; his entire body seemed untouched, even his hair was unruly.

This showed that the killing was done effortlessly.

In other words, slaying the Five Tribulation True Monarch from the Silver Wing Clan was merely the power Xu Jin chose to exhibit, not his true potential.

His potential may be even higher.

However, as the Defender, one cannot impulsively lead everyone into danger due to some impatience and guesswork. Before making the decision, Defender Guan suddenly transmitted a query, "Great Saint, last time you and I combined our forces and slew a Six Tribulation True Monarch.

What I’m pondering is if the target is a Seven Tribulation True Monarch, can you create an opportunity for a guaranteed kill?"

Xu Jin, who was sensing the enemy’s situation above the Star Realm Fragment, suddenly turned his gaze towards Defender Guan, who quickly explained, "Great Saint, this is a Medium-sized Star Realm Fragment. In theory, Red Blade Star Island would not easily relinquish it; whenever possible, they will spare no effort to shatter it.

If they can’t have it, neither can we.

It’s highly probable that, just like last time, they’ll call reinforcements from other Star Islands to ambush us halfway.

But if you can create a combat opportunity for me, taking down one or two high-tier True Monarchs, then we basically have it in the bag!

The True Monarchs indeed fear death!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin immediately understood Defender Guan’s intentions.

Not only can he create a combat opportunity, but he can also easily slay them.

This aligns perfectly with Xu Jin’s plan to expand the combat results.

"No problem!" Xu Jin gave a very affirmative answer.

Although Defender Guan was tempted, he remained cautious, "If that’s the case, we can gain more war merit and rewards, but soon, Great Saint, you’ll have to put in more effort to explore outside. As long you discover one or two batches of reinforcements in advance, we’re secure!"

"Rest assured, Hei!"

The two made plans, while Defender Guan still felt a bit anxious, but Xu Jin was exceptionally composed.

Seeing that Changxing Star Island had already captured the Star Realm Fragment and started to slowly return, the main force of Red Blade Star Island retreated to one side as usual.

In previous times, this was a call for reinforcements, and they would gather a team of True Monarchs to powerfully shatter this Star Realm Fragment before it reached Changxing Star Island.

They’re not aiming to kill, just to smash!

Next, it will depend on whose reinforcements arrive faster.

With just one look, Guan signaled Xu Jin, who instantly vanished into Space Movement.

In truth, the movements of Red Blade Star Island’s main battle force had always been within Xu Jin’s Bright Thousand Touch’s perception.

A single Space Movement followed them.

Yet, the situation of Red Blade Star Island’s main force seemed somewhat strange.

They didn’t follow the Star Realm Fragment captured by Changxing Star Island but instead returned to the Star Ruins Chaotic Sky Region.

At this moment, Island Master Chize True Monarch’s expression had turned extremely grim.

He sent out a rally signal, but neither Yin Lin, other True Monarchs from the Silver Wing Clan, nor Eight Tribulation Huyu True Monarch and another Seven Tribulation True Monarch showed any sign of movement.

Under the rally signal, none of the scouts appeared.

This reminded Chize True Monarch of an encounter over a month ago.

That time, the situation was nearly the same, where all the vanguard scouts disappeared.

But this time, it shouldn’t be!

Even with Holy Ancestor’s Direct Bloodline Six Tribulation True Monarch Yin Lin, he could face Emperor-level Experts and escape safely.

Moreover, judging from the recent advance he made with his team, there was no Emperor in Changxing Star Island’s army.

If there were, they would have definitely seized the opportunity to attack.

This spells disaster.

The loss of combat power is secondary.

The Holy Clan has billions of Star Realms; losing a few True Monarchs can be replenished.

But Holy Ancestor’s Direct Bloodline—that is truly scarce.

For example, counting the direct bloodline of Chiyi Holy Ancestor, including himself, there are merely seventeen in total.

The direct bloodline of Silver Wing Ancestor also probably won’t exceed a single-digit figure.

Moreover, it’s the result of thousands of years of accumulation.
