Chapter 182
Chapter 182: Kill
Shi Wei had no intention of doing anything to the Shen Wang ship; he was simply tired and came to sit on the ship’s top to rest.
Wang Jie greeted him: “Brother Shi, please come inside and sit.”
Shi Wei looked down at the ship. “Have we met before?”
“Outside Liuli Court, I was standing next to Young Lady Su Le,” Wang Jie said, his voice carrying through the ship to Shi Wei’s ears.
Shi Wei paused to recall, then entered the ship.
Little Blue was resting, and unless there was danger, there was no need to wake her.
Shi Wei saw Wang Jie and nodded. “It’s you.”
Wang Jie gestured for him to sit and poured tea for him.
Shi Wei stopped him, taking a cup for himself and pouring a steaming, thick soup into it to drink.
“What’s this?” he asked.
“Three flavour soup.”
“Is it good?”
Shi Wei glanced at Wang Jie and then at his own three-flavour soup, silently shaking his head. “Not good.” He then lowered his head and drank it all in one go, showing no intention of sharing.
Wang Jie poured himself a cup of tea. “Brother Shi, are you planning to join the Devour Star contest?”
“No, I’m going to beat Yun Ju.”
“Didn’t you miss him last time at Zhi Academy?”
“That guy’s ears are too sharp; he ran.”
After a pause, Shi Wei looked at Wang Jie with a serious expression. “But this time, he can’t escape. I will definitely beat him.”
Wang Jie asked curiously, “Why do you want to beat him?”
“Arrogant and self-important, embarrassing the White Realm Lord.”
“That’s it?”
“That’s it.”
Wang Jie understood now: Shi Wei was someone who worshipped the White Realm Lord fervently. He also wasn’t very good at socializing.
Shi Wei rested on Wang Jie’s ship for quite some time, only leaving when they saw Devour Star ahead.
“Attention all disciples, the Devour Star contest will begin in five hours. Do not enter early. All disciples, please pay attention…”
Wang Jie gazed solemnly at Devour Star in the distance.
“The disciple just now, Shi Wei, is one of the White Wanderers under the White Realm Lord. His strength is considerable. If he participates in the Devour Star contest, your chances won’t be good,” Little Blue came over, walking beside Wang Jie, also looking at the distant star.
Wang Jie asked, “What role do the White Wanderers and Black Wanderers play in Black White Heaven?”
He already knew that Black White Heaven had the Black Realm Lord and White Realm Lord, each with wandering star realm experts under them, known as Black Wanderers and White Wanderers. But the Deacon Hall and Discipline Hall also had wandering star realm experts. It seemed there was some overlap.
Little Blue explained, “The Black Wanderers and White Wanderers are at the same level as the Deacon Hall and Discipline Hall, but they have slightly higher status, as they are considered candidates for becoming the Realm Lord’s disciples.”
“Although they can cultivate to the wandering star realm, they must have already apprenticed in Black White Heaven. However, unless they directly apprentice under the Realm Lord, joining the Black or White Wanderers would mean that if the Realm Lord takes a liking to them, they can immediately sever their previous apprenticeship and become direct disciples of the Realm Lord. It’s like stepping straight to the top.”
“Yun Ju is one of them.”
Wang Jie was confused. “So, don’t their previous masters resent them?”
Little Blue shook his head. “The universe is cruel. Everyone must fight for what they want—disciples want good masters, and masters want talented disciples. It’s the same everywhere.”
“So, these Black Wanderers and White Wanderers are like private armies for the Realm Lords?”
“Something like that.”
Five hours later, as one side of Devour Star was illuminated, signaling the start of the contest, all the disciples knew it was time to begin.
Little Blue left the ship.
The Shen Wang ship rushed toward Devour Star. Wang Jie didn’t wait for Mo Wan Yin, who was nowhere to be seen.
At the same time, numerous ships surged toward Devour Star, with some wandering star realm experts among them.
Wang Jie noticed a wandering star realm expert near him who sneered and then charged into Devour Star. The man probably thought, If even wandering star realm experts are entering, what’s the point of us, disciples, riding ships?
Normally, that would be the case.
But in the cultivation world, no one is willing to fall behind. Everyone wants to take a chance, even if it seems hopeless. Who knows, maybe the wandering star realm experts will all perish?
With that thought, countless ships, including Wang Jie’s, rushed toward Devour Star.
The Shen Wang ship entered the atmosphere. Wang Jie was looking for a landing spot when beams of light shot toward him from the distance.
He quickly maneuvered the ship out of the way and looked up to see the sky already ablaze with battle. Some ships had been blasted apart. So soon?
The Shen Wang ship was a Star Link-class vessel, far superior to other ships. Even if those ships kept firing, they wouldn’t be able to damage it. But Wang Jie didn’t want to attract attention. He sped up, avoided the shots, and found a forest to land.
Large trees were crushed under the Shen Wang ship’s weight.
Wang Jie observed the screen, noting that other ships were also landing nearby.
One ship attempted to communicate with him. It was on the other side of the mountains.
“Friend, let’s team up. Without a team, it will be hard to gain anything under the wandering star realm experts. You don’t want to have come all this way for nothing. You won’t get Devour Star, but at least you won’t leave empty-handed.”
Wang Jie understood now. Many people here weren’t truly after Devour Star.
The Devour Star contest merely provided a reasonable battlefield for fighting and competing. Their real targets were other disciples.
Wang Jie ignored the message and didn’t respond. He needed to assess the strength of those around him first. He scanned the surrounding area using the Shen Wang ship’s superior scanning technology.
Meanwhile, far away on the other side of the mountains, aboard another ship, two cultivators exchanged looks.
“He hasn’t responded. That’s a good sign.”
“Kill.”
The two of them exited the ship and crossed the mountains, heading toward the Shen Wang ship.
Wang Jie was still scanning the surroundings, unaware that he had already been targeted.
He knew there were ships on the other side of the mountain but didn’t expect them to be so aggressive.
Not long after, the alarm sounded.
Wang Jie’s face changed when he saw the information on the screen.
The Shen Wang ship’s door was being attacked, shaking under the tremendous force.
It was a full star realm expert.
The attacks came again and again. If the door didn’t open soon, it would be blasted open.
Wang Jie immediately opened the door and looked outside. “What do you want?”
A sword slashed toward him, with no attempt at communication.
Wang Jie stepped forward, using Armor Eight Steps to dodge.
The attacker was startled. “He avoided it? Lock Force?” He became excited. “Lock Force! It’s him. Kill!”
From a distance, an arrow sped toward Wang Jie.
They were coming for him—were they from Zhi Qing’s side? He dodged the arrow, and the sword’s blade followed, a dense cold light surrounding him. The attacker’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his expression was vicious. Another arrow was coming from a different direction.
Wang Jie reached up to grab the sword handle.
“Seeking death.”
The attacker pressed down hard, trying to sever Wang Jie’s hand, but Wang Jie was faster. He grabbed the sword handle and yanked it, slicing the arrow in half. At the same time, he seized the attacker’s hand, crushing his fingers.
The man never expected Wang Jie to be so strong, unable to escape.
Wang Jie crushed his fingers with immense force, causing blood to drip down the sword handle. The man screamed in agony, kicking out, but Wang Jie tossed him into the air with such force that his wrist snapped. With a vicious cry, Wang Jie slashed upward at an odd angle, and with a single stroke, the man’s head flew off.
Wang Jie then threw his long sword toward the archer hiding in the distance.
The arrow and sword collided and split in two.
The archer, watching his comrade die easily, turned to flee. No wonder a Lock Force cultivator needed full star realm experts to chase him down—this guy was a monster, beyond anything a star breaking realm expert could handle.
He hadn’t run far when he was caught in a shadow.
Wang Jie stood ahead, coldly watching him.
“It’s a misunderstanding.”
Wang Jie extended a finger, and the Heaven and Earth Luo Xuan Finger pierced the man’s body. The man tried to dodge and exploded his star force, but under Wang Jie’s finger, he was crushed without hope, collapsing to the ground heavily.
Full star realm had around 80,000 combat power—quite strong.
In terms of strength, he was only second to Zong Cheng Ping in the Lock Path interval, about the same as Lie Qiu. Yet, facing Wang Jie now, he was utterly helpless.
The disciple lay on the ground, coughing up blood, staring at Wang Jie in despair. “I… I don’t want to die. Let me go.”
Wang Jie crouched in front of him. “Why try to kill me? How did you know it was me?”
“Someone told us… At Devour Star, chasing and killing a Lock Force cultivator… if we can kill him, we can get lots of resources. We thought, this Lock Force cultivator, surely, from the start, wouldn’t communicate with others. So we checked on the ones who didn’t communicate.”
Wang Jie nodded. “Smart, but unfortunately, you were too clever for your own good, and didn’t realize my strength.”
Was it because of Lock Force?
In the eyes of star force cultivators, those who cultivated Lock Force were weak.
And that was true.
These two disciples from Black White Heaven should have been quite ordinary, not even cultivating strange star force. But in the Lock Path interval, they were considered strong. They looked down on Lock Force cultivators deeply.
“Who told you this?”
“Deacon Hall, Song Heng.”
Wang Jie walked away, leaving the disciple’s body behind.
These two hadn’t hesitated for a second to kill him.
He crossed the mountain and found their ship, taking it and leaving. He needed to get away from Shen Wang ship for now.
If these two could target him, others could too. And the Shen Wang ship was too conspicuous.
He needed to ensure his safety first.
The ship took off, flying low and heading toward the distance.
Not long after Wang Jie left, several others arrived and saw the Shen Wang ship. They became excited. “It’s this one. Get on!”
The door was still open.
They rushed in, but found no one.
“Damn it, they got ahead of us.”
“No, he must have run. There are only two corpses outside, no sign of him.”
“Such brutal methods, using pure strength to kill. This junior brother didn’t even have time to use his star force.”
“Another junior brother was pierced by a powerful finger strike. Didn’t they say this person was star breaking realm? Looking at this, even if he’s not wandering star realm, he’s close.”
“Be careful, anyone who can make Deacon Hall send an assassination order is no small figure.”
The ship continued flying over the ground for a long time, finally stopping outside a swampy area. There were many large predatory beasts nearby.
Devour Star, it turned out, was also a Slaughter Stone planet, where many plants and creatures had cultivated Lock Force.
Wang Jie stepped out, placing his hand on the ground, feeling the earth’s pulse.
Such powerful Lock Force, like a vast ocean, made his own Lock Force seem insignificant in comparison. He had thought that his Heaven Reversal path with Ten Seals and the Lock Force he had absorbed were already considerable.
