Wu Shattered Star River

After another day of cleaning, most of the long-haired monsters on the mountain had been cleared. The third long-haired monster was worn down and killed by the two of them, leaving only the last Heavenly Emperor-level long-haired monster.

What puzzled Jiang Han and Lao Deng was that the fourth Heavenly Emperor-level long-haired monster never appeared.

The two assumed that this long-haired monster was hiding, so they could only continue to clear out the remaining long-haired monsters while searching for the last Heavenly Emperor-level long-haired monster.

Their mission was to kill four Heavenly Emperor-level long-haired monsters. If they were short one, it would be difficult for them to explain upon their return. If the mission was deemed incomplete, they might not receive any merit this time.

They wandered around the entire mountain range and spent another two days basically clearing out the remaining long-haired monsters. To their surprise, they couldn't find the last Heavenly Emperor-level long-haired monster no matter what.

They had already circled the entire mountain range several times, but still hadn't found it. They even followed several caves down into the earth to investigate, discovering some long-haired monster cubs underground, but not the Heavenly Emperor-level long-haired monster.

"Strange!"

Jiang Han had a headache, unsure of what to do. Should they just return and turn in the mission?

"Is it possible that a passing expert killed one of the Heavenly Emperor-level long-haired monsters?" Lao Deng scratched his head and said, "Should we stop searching? Such a powerful long-haired monster can't hide."

"Let's search one more time!"

Jiang Han was still unwilling to give up. If it was an ordinary expert passing by, there would be many long-haired monster corpses nearby.

But apart from the ones they killed, they didn't see any other long-haired monster corpses.

If it was a Saint Ruler expert who killed it, they probably wouldn't take the Heavenly Emperor-level long-haired monster corpse with them. Saint Rulers wouldn't care about that little bit of spiritual material.

So Jiang Han decided to search one more time. If they really couldn't find it, then so be it. They would return to Zixia Mountain and teleport back to Blue Capital City.

The two quickly wandered around the mountain, searching, but still found nothing. Jiang Han helplessly led Lao Deng down Changxu Mountain to find Yu Qi and the others, preparing to leave.

Soon, Jiang Han found Yu Qi and Wan Liuyun. Jiang Han took them into his spatial storage, and together with Lao Deng, they flew towards Gu Rui.

Inside a cave, Jiang Han and Lao Deng sensed Gu Rui's aura. As Jiang Han was about to fly over to collect Gu Rui, the Eight Trigrams Plate on his waist suddenly lit up.

"Not good!"

Jiang Han's expression changed, and he immediately threw the spatial ring and the Celestial Beast Cauldron to Lao Deng.

He himself rushed towards Gu Rui, while transmitting a message, "Lao Deng, go!"

Lao Deng didn't know what was happening, but he absolutely trusted Jiang Han and immediately ran away into the distance.

"Chi la!"

A silver thin sword shot out from the cave where Gu Rui was, hitting Jiang Han with terrifying speed.

Jiang Han wanted to dodge, but couldn't. He didn't even think about dodging. When the thin sword struck, he shot out ten finger winds, which contained not only cold air but also the lightning released by the dead branches.

"Boom!"

Jiang Han was killed by the sword. His body exploded, scattering flesh and blood everywhere.

A powerful figure completely shrouded in a black robe appeared in front of Jiang Han. He casually released a wave of energy, blowing away the flesh and blood.

He was hit by the Shadowless Finger, and cold air appeared on the surface of his body, with faint arcs of lightning crackling, and wisps of green smoke rising.

This little injury was obviously nothing to this expert. Under the cloak was a gloomy face, with dense and numerous patterns on his face, making him look very terrifying.

He looked at the blood mist and minced meat in the sky, and frowned slightly. He backhanded a sword and killed Gu Rui behind him, then flashed and wanted to chase after Lao Deng.

"Buzz ~"

At this moment, a figure condensed in a ditch nearby, turning into a stream of light and fleeing into the distance.

"Uh…"

The black-robed expert was stunned, with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

He reacted quickly, his figure turned into a stream of light and quickly chased after him. His speed was too fast, obviously a Saint Ruler level expert.

In just a few breaths, he caught up with Jiang Han, the thin sword trembled, and silver light shone all over the sky. The thin sword pierced through Jiang Han again, and with a tremble, Jiang Han's body turned into a sky full of blood mist again.

"Not dead yet?"

The black-robed expert's eyes flickered, scanning the surroundings. He didn't feel Jiang Han's soul dissipating in the world.

"Buzz ~"

Jiang Han resurrected a second time, and didn't even attack when he came out, continuing to flee forward.

Unfortunately, he only fled a few thousand miles before being caught up again and killed by this black-robed Saint Ruler.

The third time, the fourth time, the eighth time!

Each time Jiang Han was reborn, he could escape for thousands of miles, but he would soon be caught up and killed.

After his body was crushed for the ninth time, the Saint Ruler was surprised to find that Jiang Han had not been reborn.

He waited for more than ten breaths, but did not find Jiang Han resurrecting.

"Shua!"

He quickly flew around nearby, searching, but still couldn't find Jiang Han's trace.

"Completely dead? The problem is that the remnant soul has not dissipated in the world?"

The Saint Ruler muttered in surprise, after a moment he woke up: "No, his companion must be carrying his essence blood, he was reborn on his companion's side!"

The Saint Ruler quickly chased after Lao Deng, but unfortunately, so much time had passed, Lao Deng's speed was not slow, and Lao Deng could change direction at any time, how could he catch up?

In fact!

At this moment, Lao Deng had been taken into the Celestial Beast Cauldron by Jiang Han, and Jiang Han was teleporting all the way towards Zixia Mountain.

He was reborn eight times, and his source of life was depleted a lot, but he could still support it.

He did not stop along the way, and after spending half a day, he successfully returned to the foot of Zixia Mountain.

"Lord Jiang!"

Li Ku was still in the square at the foot of the mountain. Seeing Jiang Han, he immediately greeted him obsequiously, his attitude completely different from before.

Jiang Han didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly took out the token and documents, saying, "Activate the teleportation array, I want to return to Blue Capital City."

Li Ku was stunned, then said, "Aren't you going to greet the young clan leader? The young sect master ordered that if you come back, you must inform him immediately. I have already sent a message to him."

"No, I have urgent matters. I will visit the young sect master next time!"

Jiang Han shook his head. The sudden appearance of a Saint Ruler expert to assassinate him made him inexplicably uneasy. He didn't want to stay in Zixia Mountain and wanted to return to Blue Capital City first.

"Alright!"

Li Ku smiled bitterly and was about to help Jiang Han activate the teleportation array.

"Shua!"

At this moment, two figures rose from the mountain and flew towards this side. Jiang Han glanced at them and found that they were Lu Xun and Li Jianfei.

He could only wave his hand to tell Li Ku not to activate the teleportation array yet, and greeted the two.

"Brother Jiang, it's good that you're back!"

Lu Xun glanced at Jiang Han's face and found that it was a little pale. He asked, "You were indeed attacked? What level of expert?"

"Indeed?"

Jiang Han was stunned and asked, "You knew I would be attacked?"

"Um…"

Lu Xun nodded and said, "Half a day after you left, your name was on the Dark Rankings. We sent out a large number of scouts to find you to notify you, but we couldn't find your trace. We have been worried to death these past few days."

"Dark Rankings?"

A look of confusion appeared in Jiang Han's eyes, and he asked, "What is the Dark Rankings?"
