Chapter 188 It Shouldn't Be Like This

Han Jiangxue was clad in the Flame Shield, holding a deep-blue scepter high in her hand.

"Crack!!!" A thick bolt of lightning struck a female Hua Xing member, the violent current pouring down and spreading around her body in a dense, writhing mass, like frantic snakes.

Similarly, Baze, hidden far away on the sea cliff, also had electricity flashing in his eyes, as a thick, purple current poured down...

Fu Hei and Yi Qingchen each unleashed a Silence, regardless of whether Jiang Xiao and Er Wei were in the center of the courtyard; an indiscriminate Silence!

Because Er Wei and Jiang Xiao both had Peace Buckles protecting them...

Gu Shi'an was also unambiguous, directly swinging the Hammer of Virtuality and Reality, hanging high in the sky, and bombarding the courtyard below. At this moment, his Fall of the Gods had already reached Star Quality.

The dense hammer shadows seemed to drag the entire battlefield into a mythological war of the gods. For a time, mountains collapsed and the earth cracked...

And at the moment the battle began, inside the Black and White Manor, in the second-floor music room.

Catherine's fingers tapped the black and white keys, sometimes lightly, sometimes heavily. The booming sounds from outside the window brought a spiteful, gleeful smile to her face, but in the next moment, her smile froze slightly.

Before her eyes, a Star Power character suddenly appeared: "Continue."

The mysterious and bizarre Star Power character was ice-blue, slowly drifting across Catherine's vision, like a barrage of comments...

The notes Catherine pressed were slightly jumbled, but with her superb skills and muscle memory, her playing quickly returned to normal.

Beside the piano, an old man quietly appeared, looking down at Catherine with a loving expression.

Catherine looked up blankly, her hands not daring to slack off in the slightest, continuing to play according to the command conveyed by the Star Power character. She saw the Seer slowly walk to the window and look at the distant courtyard below.

As he watched, a sigh of emotion appeared on Hopkins' wrinkled old face.

"It already has the makings of my team from decades ago," Hopkins murmured to himself.

In his vision, a woman wearing a circle mask and a white robe reached out a hand, manipulating an Ink Flower, blooming on the enemy's chest.

The Blind Girl seemed to sense something extraordinary. She suddenly turned her head and looked at the distant manor, just in time to see an old man at the window, watching her from afar.

The Blind Girl was shocked. She knew what Jiang Xiao had experienced, so would the old man in her line of sight be the so-called Hopkins?

The Blind Girl didn't have time to think. She immediately raised one hand and aimed it at Hopkins.

Swish...

A jet-black Ink Flower bloomed on Hopkins' chest.

The jet-black color, the ink-like texture, was bizarre and exquisite.

Just as the Blind Girl wanted to act, Hopkins lowered his head and looked at the flower blooming quietly on his chest.

The Blind Girl's breath hitched: !!!

He lowered his head!?

How could he lower his head!?

I clearly deprived him of control over his body, he...

In the next moment, Hopkins reached out and plucked the Ink Flower from his chest, the ink staining his old palm, flowing and dripping between his fingers.

He lowered his head slightly and sniffed the jet-black Ink Flower. There was no refreshing fragrance, only enormous Star Power energy and the wonderful feeling of being able to control everything in the world with unparalleled dominance.

What a beautiful Ink Flower!

Hopkins exclaimed, admiring the flower. He nodded to the Blind Girl from afar, his smile so amiable, like a harmless old man.

But his behavior had already made the Blind Girl doubt her life.

She finally knew why Jiang Xiao's Silence and Blessing were ineffective on the old man.

But in the end, that was only control at the Star Technique level, while the Ink Flower was the Blind Girl's Star Transformation into Martial Power after her second advancement!

Everyone in the world, when faced with this level of Star Transformation into Martial Power, should not make such elegant and calm movements!

There were many people on the field with strong perception, and most of them noticed the old man watching from the window at the first moment.

Among them, the Hua Xing members were even more delighted. As devout believers, when they saw the "Lord's" arrival, no words were needed; this was their greatest encouragement!

Encouragement was one aspect, but recognition was another!

For a time, the Hua Xing members were like chickens pumped with blood, no longer caring about anything, and fighting wildly.

Jiang Xiao, following Jiang Keli's perception, also saw Hopkins at the window!

His face was gloomy, and he shouted loudly, "Ignore him! Target Hua Xing!"

"Hehe..." Hopkins shook his head and smiled, his old voice reaching Catherine's ears, "Why did you choose this piece of music?"

The question made Catherine tremble. Her eyes widened, her head lowered, and as she played, she trembled, "S-Sir, you... wanted to hear..."

"No, this piece of music sounds very interesting. It has a bit of a medieval Lansi flavor," Hopkins said softly, his eyes slightly narrowed.

On the battlefield below, a figure of lightning flashed, the longsword in his hand aiming straight at Jiang Xiao's face!

"Tear!" A tall figure stood in front of Jiang Xiao, her speed incredibly fast, suddenly reaching out a palm!

The steel-like palm actually grabbed the lightning-covered longsword head-on, pressing the rapidly shuttling figure directly in place!

In an instant, Er Wei's body was filled with electricity, and she felt waves of numbness.

Bang!

Yi Qingchen directly silenced the Star Warrior wielding the thunder sword, and his explosive momentum instantly disappeared.

And Jiang Xiao, without hesitation, flicked his right hand as his body floated backwards, and the blood-red giant blade flew out at top speed.

Tear! The blade entered flesh!

The wide and extremely sharp giant blade directly pierced the man's head. The tearing effect and bleeding effect coexisted. In an instant, the man's head shattered, and a cloud of blood mist filled the sky.

Er Wei was splattered with blood. She shook her numb palm and rubbed her face with the back of her hand. She turned her head to look at the manor, but saw Hopkins nodding slightly to her, his eyes seemingly carrying a hint of appreciation.

Er Wei's narrow phoenix eyes narrowed slightly. She had learned from Jiang Xiao about the existence of such a mysterious Star Warrior, and now she finally saw him with her own eyes.

"Er Wei!" Jiang Xiao hurriedly stepped forward, placing a hand on Er Wei's shoulder, and said, "Execute the mission!"

Er Wei turned her head to look at Jiang Xiao, her face stained with blood, expressionless.

Jiang Xiao shook his head almost imperceptibly, and his hand on Er Wei's shoulder also tightened slightly.

He was the vice-captain of the Tail Feathers, the leader of Star Advent, and he could order everyone present, but he was the only one who couldn't order Er Wei.

Jiang Xiao never expected that one day, he would look at Er Wei with such a pleading gaze.

At this moment, Er Wei's heart softened.

She had never thought that one day, she would see such emotions in Jiang Xiao's eyes.

In the next moment, a cry of alarm came.

On the battlefield, things changed in an instant. If they relied on others to remind them, Jiang Xiao and Er Wei would have died ten thousand times already.

Jiang Xiao, who had opened countless fields of vision, was simply a "central monitoring room." He could see everything without even needing to perceive it...

The cry of alarm had just sounded when the enemy arrived!

The same lightning, the same longsword, the same rapidly shuttling figure, but with even more sinister eyes.

The blond man did not think that he would follow in his comrade's footsteps.

The teammate who had his head pierced by the giant blade earlier did not have any defensive Star Techniques, but he was different. He would never be pierced by the Blood Blade. He had absolute confidence!

On the battlefield, you dare to be distracted!?

You even dare to communicate silently? Are you courting death!?

Who would miss such an opportunity?

The blond man never thought that perhaps... this was a trap.

From Jiang Xiao, whose every move, every word, and every action was a "feint"!

Er Wei suddenly raised her hand to block, but Jiang Xiao flashed away rapidly with Er Wei.

The two of them flickered in place like a television with poor signal reception. Two sharp Wither Arrows pierced through Jiang Xiao's body from behind, shooting out from his flickering chest!

The man's pupils shrank slightly. Jiang Xiao could really flash in the dual Broken King Rings! Just like he did underwater before!

Why!?

"Ding!"

The blood-colored giant blade swept away the lightning sword that stabbed at him from the bottom up!

The Hua Xing member suddenly had a wide-open opening, and the two Wither Arrows that pierced through Jiang Xiao's chest "swooshed" and pierced into the man's chest!

"Ah! Ah ah ah! Ah ah ah ah ah!" The man was shocked and terrified. The feeling of being shattered that came from his body made him scream uncontrollably.

Once, the powerful defense that he was so proud of was worthless in front of the Wither Arrows!

Jiang Xiao and Er Wei didn't even chase after him. They just silently watched the nearly insane man.

He kept using Purifying Current, but it was useless!

In a panic, he slapped his chest randomly with both hands, but found that he couldn't slap off the Wither effect. Instead, he was slapping his body more and more to pieces.

Hopkins glanced thoughtfully in the direction of the mountain cliff, his gaze sweeping over Hou Mingming, who was sneering, and Jiang Gong, who had a solemn expression...

Hopkins shook his head silently. He seemed to be selecting something.

The blond man, who was being withered, hurriedly stopped his movements. Helpless, he grabbed his blond hair with both hands and shouted loudly, "Heal, I need healing! I need healing!"

However, everywhere he looked, there was only the battlefield.

He eagerly searched for the figure of a Medical Star Warrior, but only saw a Medical Star Warrior who was also withering and breaking apart, and a Medical Star Warrior who had fallen under the staff and was being heavily smashed by Da Sheng.

"Sir! Sir! Help me!" Seeing that the only two Medical Star Warriors among the nine were dead, the man, enduring the body that had already withered for half of its length, turned his head and looked at the Black and White Manor!

"Save me!" The man was like a madman, shouting frantically, his body filled with electricity, rushing towards the Black and White Manor.

"Bang!"

With a loud bang, the rapidly shuttling figure was intercepted in mid-air and slapped down by a large sword, crashing heavily into the lawn.

Xia Yan blocked the man's last hope of survival, her figure as if standing on the boundary line between life and death.

"I'll help you!" Xia Yan's eyes were sharp, and she squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth. She slashed down again with her sword, and a small Hidden Dragon that was eight meters long suddenly rushed out, straight into the ground!

Boom...

The small Hidden Dragon bared its fangs and claws, roaring hoarsely, descending from the sky!

The man's already broken body was directly shattered for half of its length!

His upper body shattered suddenly, disappearing for most of it, leaving only the lower half of his body, which had extremely strong defenses and had not yet been withered, lying alone in the big pit...

Hopkins' eyes lit up. He looked at Xia Yan, who was wearing a cloak and floating in mid-air, and couldn't help but smile warmly.

A trace of reminiscence also flashed through his cloudy eyes, as if... Xia Yan's heroic figure reminded him of someone.
