Chapter 551: Chapter 258: Return, Clash Between the Absolute Peaks! (Please Vote Monthly)_2
"He’s still in his pinnacle stage, his life hasn’t reached its end!"
The Three-eyed King sighed.
After the recent confrontation, they realized Di Jun’s condition and understood that there was no need to continue the fight, lest both sides end up wounded.
Ming Ji whispered, "Di Jun, your days are numbered. I hope you can last until half a year from now."
Di Jun’s expression remained calm, and he smiled faintly, "You are not my rivals. Let your leader come!"
The Three-eyed King raspingly laughed, "Half a year later, your opponents won’t be us."
He said no more, and after speaking these words, his apparition slowly dissipated.
Ming Ji and another apparition glanced deeply at Di Jun, with a hint of surprise in their eyes, and then slowly vanished.
They were not surprised at Di Jun’s strength.
A century ago, Di Jun was undefeated in this world, having killed many of the Ninth Grade’s peak warriors, even causing one Absolute Peak to fall at his hands.
What truly surprised Ming Ji was that Di Jun actually appeared for the sake of a junior.
One must know that Di Jun hadn’t appeared for over a hundred years; his absence meant that they couldn’t discern Di Jun’s true strength or any potential breakthroughs.
This was one of Blue Star’s significant strategies.
As long as Di Jun did not appear, Earth Star wouldn’t dare tear up the facade entirely.
Yet now, the opponent emerged voluntarily for a Sixth Grade junior!
Ming Ji realized that this junior possibly held secrets larger than they imagined.
...
Di Jun recalled the last words of the Three-eyed King, a trace of contemplation appearing in his eyes.
Soon, his gaze turned downward.
...
Within the battle formations of the 23rd Brigade, Xu Zhou was unaware that a confrontation between Absolute Peaks had already occurred above the Ninth Heaven.
At this moment, he had already led his army to the border line, setting up camp ready to await further instructions from the Military Department.
Just then—
Xu Zhou’s expression suddenly changed, feeling the space around him sealed by a mysterious energy.
His current space ability had reached a previously unimaginable height, yet even so, he couldn’t see through such a degree of space confinement.
It was undoubtedly a seal created by an absolute expert!
Xu Zhou’s mind screamed warnings, instinctively wanting to crush the escape talisman and flee.
But at that moment, a voice sounded in his mind, "Staying here is dangerous, don’t resist, I’ll take you back to Blue Star."
Xu Zhou was slightly stunned, then hurriedly responded in his mind, "Who are you?"
Buzz!
As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible ripple instantly sealed the camp.
Then, a handsome man with platinum long hair appeared before Xu Zhou, wearing a black robe.
"My name is Di Jun."
The handsome man stood with hands behind his back, calmly stating.
"Di Jun?" Xu Zhou’s eyes showed a trace of confusion.
"..."
Seeing Xu Zhou’s expression, Di Jun was momentarily speechless.
Could it be that this kid hadn’t even heard of his great name?
But Xu Zhou truly didn’t know, after all, Absolute Peaks were such elusive figures, much less someone like Di Jun who hadn’t appeared in a century!
Neither the internet nor the books had any records of him.
Fortunately, Di Jun didn’t mind such matters, simply saying: "You have been targeted by an Absolute Peak from Earth Star. Staying here is dangerous, come back with me."
"I have informed the Military Department, they will immediately calculate your war merit."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Zhou’s wristband vibrated.
Xu Zhou opened the wristband to see that instructions from the Military Department had indeed arrived, directing him to immediately follow Senior Di Jun, while the 23rd Brigade would be led by another commander.
"It seems that this Senior Di Jun’s identity is real."
Xu Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart tightened.
He had been targeted by an Absolute Peak expert?
Could it be that the crisis he sensed just now was from an Absolute Peak expert planning to attack him?
"Could it be because I killed that member of the Dark Realm Royal Family’s direct lineage?"
Xu Zhou wasn’t foolish; he quickly guessed the reason.
He immediately looked up and said: "Senior Di Jun, allow me to inform the brothers of the 23rd Brigade."
"Alright."
Di Jun nodded, lifting the seal.
Xu Zhou walked out of the camp, found Zhong Qiang and Qin Zhenjiang, and explained the situation to them.
"What?" Zhong Qiang’s eyes widened when he heard that Xu Zhou was leaving: "You’re leaving? Then what about us? What about the 23rd Brigade?"
Xu Zhou smiled and said, "The Military Department said they would send a new commander."
"Commander Xu," Zhang Yuandong, standing beside him, said: "The brothers are used to you being the commander, suddenly having someone else come, we might not adapt well."
Xu Zhou gave him an unspoken glance, thinking how his words made it sound like being dumped.
He took a deep breath and said solemnly: "Actually, it’s because I killed that member of the Royal Family’s direct lineage. Staying here could lead to assassination attempts, so the Military Department tells me to leave at once."
Upon hearing this, Zhong Qiang and others also became solemn, realizing the gravity of the situation.
"Even the Military Department issued instructions? Could it be that an Eighth or even Ninth Realm expert has targeted Brother Xu?"
Zhong Qiang remained silent for a moment, then said deeply: "Then, brother, I won’t say much, you... take care!"
"You too."
Xu Zhou patted his shoulder forcefully and said: "I won’t announce to the whole army. Wait until I leave, then inform the brothers."
"Alright."
Zhong Qiang nodded.
Xu Zhou turned and returned to the camp.
Zhong Qiang looked at his receding figure, his eyes suddenly turning red, and said with emotion: "Brother Xu, not sure if you’ll return after leaving, but... we will certainly remember you."
Zhang Yuandong also looked at Xu Zhou’s back, nodding heavily: "Commander Xu, I will definitely remember you!"
After this war, the 23rd Brigade will surely become renowned.
They will never forget that it was Xu Zhou who led the 23rd Brigade to glory!
...
In the camp.
Xu Zhou looked at Di Jun and said, "Senior Di Jun, I am ready."
Di Jun nodded, "Stand firm, we are setting off!"
Buzz buzz!
With that said, the space around Xu Zhou was swiftly sealed again.
Di Jun grasped Xu Zhou, taking a step forward.
Thunderous roar!
It was as if a burst of thunder rang out, Xu Zhou saw the stars revolve around him, and the intense Gang Wind made him close his eyes involuntarily.
Once he opened them again, he found himself already standing before the 38th Parallel.
"This... within a thought, seven thousand miles?"
Xu Zhou was somewhat flabbergasted; even with his current space ability, he couldn’t achieve such a feat through space transfer.
Di Jun said nothing, bringing Xu Zhou across the 38th Parallel.
Soon Xu Zhou realized that this was far from Di Jun’s limit. If not for the necessity of crossing two worlds at the 38th Parallel, he wouldn’t have even paused here.
In the next moment, Di Jun and Xu Zhou were already back in Guang Han.
"Stand firm."
Di Jun repeated, and grasping Xu Zhou, took another step forward.
"Boom!"
This time, Xu Zhou felt a Gang Wind even more intense than before.
However, this time the transfer was slightly longer than before.
Previously, it had taken less than a millisecond, but this time it took a full second.
After one second.
When Xu Zhou opened his eyes again, he discovered that he was already standing on Blue Star, right in front of Guang Han Martial University.
"This..."
Xu Zhou couldn’t help but be shaken, knowing that traveling from Guang Han to Blue Star, even a spaceship would take an hour’s journey!
Yet he had reached the ground in just one second.
"Peak of Ninth Grade? Or Absolute Peak?"
At this moment, Xu Zhou had already gained some understanding of Di Jun’s strength.
Di Jun appeared indifferent, quite pleased with Xu Zhou’s reaction, and said calmly, "Xu Zhou, from now on, stay at the university. Don’t venture out until you break through to Seventh Grade."
"...Yes, Senior."
He was already Sixth Grade, yet this elder scolded him like a child, but what could Xu Zhou say, he could only comply obediently.
Di Jun glanced at him, then said, "Have you studied the lightning technique?"
"Lightning technique?" Xu Zhou shook his head in confusion, "This junior has rarely encountered the lightning technique."
Di Jun was somewhat speechless; this boy hadn’t even heard of him, and now had never encountered the lightning technique?
After a moment of silence, Di Jun said, "Forget it, I’ll pass you a method. Whether you can comprehend it depends on your own fortune!"
With that, he pointed with a finger.
