Chapter 2218

Looking at these Saints and feeling their murderous intent, Hotwell could no longer be arrogant. With a gloomy expression, he said in a low voice, "Zi Chen, what do you want?"

This situation was obviously beyond expectations. It was out of control. Not obeying the Supervisory Order and not fearing the Supervisory Envoy. This should be the first unexpected situation in hundreds of thousands of years after the Wuji Era.

This was like a cultivator with the Wuji Sect's token with a special mission to patrol the sacred land. All the forces would treat the envoy with respect and worship. They would be careful when speaking. No matter how unreasonable the request was, no one dared to oppose it for the sake of the entire family.

Over time, this would become a habit. The envoy was used to no one objecting, but now, there were voices of opposition.

Just like the Imperial Envoy, who entered the nest of traitors and spoke in the name of the Emperor, obviously no one obeyed.

Now, Zi Chen was the voice of opposition. He was also the traitor.

At this moment, the two Saints were extremely frightened. Things had indeed developed in the worst possible way. They had already felt that this envoy was unreliable, and he had come too quickly.

Now … it was all over.

Maybe this special envoy could live, but the two of them could barely be considered as followers. There was no way they could survive.

Zi Chen took a step forward, and the Saint Power in his body surged. He said coldly, "What do you want to do? Can't you see? I'm going to kill you."

"Then you're ready to go to war with the Huo Te family." Hotwell's voice was still cold and calm, without a trace of panic.

"If the Huo Te family has a Saint King, I'll turn around and run. If there is no Saint King, I'll kill a Saint. If a group of them comes, I'll kill a group of them." Zi Chen said coldly.

Hotwell laughed sarcastically and said, "Then I'll have to disappoint you. The next one to come should be a Supreme Saint, the strongest in this world."

From Hotwell's expression, it was impossible to tell whether this was true or not, but it was meaningless. Since it was 655% impossible to hand him over, then they could only fight.

In this situation, there was no need to talk about a one-on-one battle. Joining forces to end the battle quickly was the way to go.

"Send the signal quickly."

At this moment, Hotwell's shocked expression finally changed. He formed a seal with both hands, forming an energy barrier in front of him. His figure directly retreated backward as he shouted.

The two Saints reacted quickly as well. They condensed Saint Power energy in their palms and shot it into the sky.

"Right now, there shouldn't be any Shadow Guards left alive in the entire Nefas Starfield. Your signal is useless."

A cold voice suddenly sounded in front of the two of them. It was Xing Chen who had already rushed over. Above the two of them, below the light shield, a star map appeared. Every star in the star map was emitting a bright light.

The energy shot up from the two Saints' fingertips and landed on the star chart, causing the star chart to shake. It was like the surface of a calm lake, causing ripples to form on the chart.

These two energies dissipated amidst the vibrating ripples.

Following which, the map glowed brightly, and a Seven Stars Seal descended from the sky, shrouding the two of them.

When the Seven Stars Seal descended, the few Saints behind Xing Chen swarmed forward.

In this not too spacious living room, there were more than ten Saints. A few of them were controlling the saint power to seal the energy fluctuations in the room, preventing it from leaking out. The others were all attacking.

"Where do you think you're going?"

Hotwell, who was retreating, suddenly heard Zi Chen's voice behind him. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He immediately turned around and punched at Zi Chen's face.

This punch was full of power, and it directly hit Zi Chen. Wherever it passed, the space was distorted, forming a terrifying energy fluctuation.

However, in the face of such an attack, Zi Chen only slowly stretched out his hand, and his saint power gathered on his palm.

"Pa."

Just like that, Hotwell's powerful punch was easily caught by Zi Chen. The powerful energy contained within the punch seemed to have dissipated due to the terrifying power formed by Zi Chen's bending of his fingers.

Hotwell felt a sharp pain coming from his fist that was caught by Zi Chen. His expression twitched, and cold sweat instantly appeared on his forehead. Before he came, he knew that Zi Chen was very powerful, but he did not expect him to be so strong. He was defeated in just one blow.

In his eyes that were filled with pain, a cold light suddenly flashed. His left hand condensed a long sword made of Saint power, and he slashed it towards Zi Chen's neck viciously.

In the face of this attack, Zi Chen's expression did not change. He only gently raised his right arm.

"You're courting death."

Hotwell endured the pain and shouted coldly. In his opinion, Zi Chen was overestimating himself by blocking his attack with his arm.

"Peng."

A violent tremor suddenly rang out. Hotwell felt as if his saber had struck a divine stone. The powerful rebounding force had not only shattered his saber, but the enormous force had also nearly split open the web between his thumb and forefinger.

He felt a sharp pain in the web between his thumb and index finger on his left hand, but it was still fine. However, the right fist that Zi Chen had grabbed suddenly emitted the sound of frying beans. That was the sound of the bones in his right hand being crushed by Zi Chen.

The pain caused by this kind of shattering was heart-wrenching. Zi Chen had used a lot of power in this attack. Not only was his right hand shattered, but his right arm was also shattered.

The heart-wrenching pain continued to come and was infinitely magnified. Hotwell could no longer hold it in. He opened his mouth and let out a scream. His eyes were full of fear and pain. Even tears flowed out of his eyes. He had completely lost his mental state.

Zi Chen looked at him indifferently. The corner of his mouth revealed a cold smile. Since you don't want to let me have an easy time, then you won't have an easy time.

"Zi Chen, I am from the Hotwell family. If you kill me today, in the future … Ah …"

The sharp pain came again. This time, it was Zi Chen who pressed on his right shoulder. His five fingers pierced in like an eagle's claw. As for Hotwell's right arm, only the outer layer of skin was intact. It was swaying in front of him.

The threat that was about to come out of his mouth could no longer be said. Hotwell, who was drenched in cold sweat, hurriedly begged, "Zi Chen, let me go. Let me go and this matter is over. In the future, we will not interfere with each other's business."

Zi Chen looked at him indifferently and asked, "Really?"

Hotwell's eyes lit up as he said, "Really, this matter is over. Just pretend that I never came here and never met you."

"Then I'll let you go."

As Zi Chen's voice fell, he really let go of Hotwell. This made Hotwell stare blankly, somewhat in disbelief.

Zi Chen looked at him and said indifferently, "This is what you said. Don't forget it."

"I said it, I said it."

Hotwell hurriedly nodded, but his heart was greatly relieved. Then, he endured the pain coming from his right arm and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his left hand.

However, before he could completely exhale, he seemed to have guessed something. His expression changed again. He turned around and saw Brilliant standing behind him. He saw the other party's exquisite and perfect face. He saw a dazzling golden light appear in front of him.

Before he could raise his guard again, the golden light entered his Sea of Consciousness without warning. After which, it abruptly pierced toward his soul.

The pain was ten times more intense than before. Hotwell's vision darkened, and he almost fainted.

Brilliant nodded at Zi Chen. Zi Chen raised his hand and shot out a beam of energy, which landed on Hotwell's body. Hotwell's body instantly exploded, turning into dust and dissipating, leaving behind only a lonely soul. It struggled in the golden light, appearing to be in great pain. His eyes were filled with despair and pleading, and there was no longer any trace of arrogance in them.

Zi Chen's objective was not just to kill Hotwell. He also wanted to obtain Hotwell's memories and see what was left of the Hotwell clan. The souls of disciples from large organisations were all very special. If he forcefully searched their souls, he would not be able to obtain what he wanted. It might even cause their souls to explode.

As such, Brilliant suddenly invaded Hotwell's soul when he was completely relaxed and searched through his memories.

As for the other side, the battle ended very quickly. Xing Chen killed two Saints and left their souls behind so that Brilliant could search their souls.

Just as Zi Chen made his move, the other Dark Guards who were left here were immediately controlled by Huan Kai and his men. Then, according to Zi Chen's instructions, they left their souls behind and destroyed their bodies.

… ….

… ….

In the Nefas Star Field, there was a small transit planet that connected many planets. There was a trading ground on it. This place used to be controlled by the Norman clan, but now it belongs to the Bexi clan.

No one knew that on this not-so-large transit planet, there was a Shadow Guard base. All the information gathered by the Shadow Guards over the years would be sent to this place at the first possible moment, and then passed on to the other Star Fields from here.

Time was of the essence. Bexi Kanghong, who had personally rushed here, did not care about shocking the world. He brought a group of experts and barged into this place.

Following a shout to eradicate the remnants of the two great families, the silence was once again broken. The cultivators from the Bexi clan were like wolves and tigers. After rushing in, they began a frenzied slaughter.

Such a commotion quickly alarmed the other cultivators. They appeared one after another, their faces filled with fear and unease. This place had just recovered from the chaos not long ago.

Hearing the shouts from the slaughter, some cultivators couldn't help but curse. Those damned remnants of the two great families, why did they come here for?

After seeing the Saints in the group, their hearts were filled with curiosity. They all guessed what kind of remnants were left here to alarm so many Saints.

On this day, five Saints came to this small transit planet and left after killing some of the remnants.

No one knew that the dead remnants were the Dark Guards of the Nefas Star.
