The whole venue fell silent—you could hear a pin drop!
The gathered Viscounts looked at Star Monarch An Tongchun, who had just been rescued by Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu, then looked at Xu Jin, and the shock in their hearts could no longer be expressed in words.
No matter how rich language is in describing something terrifying or powerful, it can’t pare to seeing it with your own eyes.
Even when they’d heard earlier that Xu Jin had beheaded a Star Monarch, they’d only thought "so that’s how it is"; he must have used some treasure or Secret Technique, or there were some unknown circumstances, maybe even ones they still didn’t know.
But now they had personally witnessed Xu Jin defeat a Star Monarch, and even put this Star Monarch in mortal danger.
Obviously, if there hadn’t been mortal danger, Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu would never have stepped in to save someone at the cost of his own face!
In other words, in that explosive outburst, Xu Jin already displayed the strength to kill a Star Monarch.
Whether Star Monarch An Tongchun was careless, fell into a trap, or Xu Jin’s tactical design was simply too good, it all meant that Xu Jin now possessed the strength to slay an ordinary Star Monarch.
Among the Viscounts, Yutang King Zhu Shizhen’s eyes were also full of shock.
To be honest, he’d always been overestimating his brother‑in‑law’s strength.
But now that he’d truly seen it with his own eyes, he was still frightened.
With an explosive killing move, he actually has the strength to directly behead an ordinary Star Monarch?
And his Cultivation Level is only at the Eighth Tier Peak?
How strong does he have to be?
The reason their Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion’s decline couldn’t be halted was that his elder sister’s Dao path had been cut off, and there was no longer a top‑tier Star Monarch‑level Expert sitting in town.
Now, hasn’t one just e knocking?
He felt the "gold content" of that decision he’d made back then was still constantly rising.
In the distance, True Monarch Bixuan’s eyes were likewise full of astonishment.
Before this, he had already been continuously raising his estimation of Xu Jin.
In his subsequent plan for dealing with Xu Jin, he had prepared to dispatch at least two Star Monarchs to be on the safe side.
But seeing this battle now, True Monarch Bixuan understood he had still underestimated Xu Jin’s strength.
Although this Star Monarch An Tongchun clearly had not brought out his full strength, two Star Monarchs would definitely not be enough to deal with Xu Jin next time.
At least three top‑tier Star Monarchs would be required.
Of course, a True Monarch‑level Expert would be even better.
Unfortunately, he did not have a single True Monarch Expert he could order around.
If an appropriate opportunity arose, he could only personally make a move against Xu Jin.
It wasn’t just True Monarch Bixuan—True Monarch Tianzhang and True Monarch Yuanling also had eyes full of shock at this moment.
Xu Jin’s strength was even greater than they had estimated.
Especially True Monarch Tianzhang—ever since he’d seen that look Xu Jin had given him asking for help, he had known Xu Jin had the confidence to defeat Star Monarch An Tongchun.
But now, he had nearly beheaded An Tongchun outright.
Even if An Tongchun had just recently broken through to the Star Monarch realm and was at the very bottom among Star Monarchs, he was still a Star Monarch.
At this point, True Monarch Tianzhang became even more convinced of his judgment.
That newly‑advanced Emperor might really be ing to take over the Dongxuan Star Realm.
Thinking about it, every other Star Realm had an Emperor in charge; only the Dongxuan Star Realm had been under the control of them True Monarchs for over six hundred years.
The Emperor’s side, in taking care of these old hands, had already been benevolent to the extreme.
"This subordinate has embarrassed you, my lord; I beg you to mete out punishment!" Star Monarch An Tongchun, who’d been rescued, was filled with shame. He immediately dropped to one knee before True Monarch Ding Moqiu, who had saved him, and pled guilty.
Ding Moqiu helped Star Monarch An Tongchun up. "Victory and defeat are monplace in military affairs; there’s no need for this!
Besides, losing to a peerless genius like Xu Jin is no disgrace!"
After speaking, Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu turned around in an open and aboveboard manner, cupped his hands toward Xu Jin, and said, "It was only to assess bat Power; if someone had died, that would have been bad. Still, for me to intervene and save him is, in the end, hard to justify.
So let’s do this: take today as me owing you a favor. If you have any matter in the future, e find me; whatever I can help with, I will definitely help."
Having said that, Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu’s own Tongxuan Order suddenly flew out, directly inviting Xu Jin to imprint the aura of his Divine Soul and Star Power upon it.
This counted as adding him as a friend, and also as fulfilling that so‑called favor promise.
With this move, Ding Moqiu gave himself a way out, and also gave himself a step down for having stirred up a mess.
Of course, in Xu Jin’s eyes, this Mr. Ding was really stingy.
He had originally thought Mr. Ding might offer some extra pensation. He hadn’t expected to receive only an empty verbal favor and a friend request.
This was a bit like in his previous life, when some big boss added you as a friend; it looked like he was giving you immense face, but in reality, it wasn’t very useful.
Still, Xu Jin had to accept this step down.
After all, the real benefits still needed to be taken in hand.
"Many thanks, True Monarch... pfft!"
He had only spoken four words when a jet of blood spurted from Xu Jin’s mouth, and his aura immediately became chaotic and inparably weakened.
Xu Jin was also rather helpless.
If you’re going to act, you have to mit to the role.
He had previously said that this killing move of his harmed himself first, then the enemy; during the battle with An Tongchun he’d also been spitting blood repeatedly, precisely to make this consistent.
The main goal was to obtain those All Heaven Star Dew.
And along the way, to conceal his bat Power a bit, and mislead his enemies.
After all, whether it was True Monarch Bixuan or the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment behind Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu, they were all Xu Jin’s enemies.
Xu Jin believed that after today, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment would be one hundred percent certain that he was that Eighth Tier Peak slaughterer in the Thunder Gang Star Domain who had seized the Chaos Elemental Materials and successively beheaded his elite subordinates.
There was no helping it—given this bination of features, finding a second person like that would be far too difficult.
Eighth Tier Peak, male youth, proficient in Space Star Technique and Thunder Star Skill, with the strength to kill a Star Monarch.
