Wu Shattered Star River

Millions of miles away from the battlefield, Yun Rui, Ying Sui, Nujiang Fox Fairy, and the others gathered on a floating rock in the void.

A magic formation was set up here, and among the twenty experts, one named Zhong Su was a master of formations.

The formation here had been prepared long ago, capable of withstanding several attacks from a Saint Ruler. Inside, there was also a teleportation array that could transport them millions of miles away.

This was the rallying point designated by Jiang Han. After retreating, they would gather here, and if the situation turned dire, they could use the teleportation to escape.

The group of experts felt somewhat nervous. Some were constantly sensing the outside situation, some were frequently looking towards the battlefield, and some were occasionally glancing at Yun Rui.

Jiang Han was holding off the Saint Ruler alone, and the experts were all uneasy, especially considering it was a Saint Ruler.

Although they each possessed unique skills and techniques, they were no match for absolute power. If the Saint Ruler chased after them and instantly shattered the formation, none of them would survive.

Furthermore, they were very worried about Jiang Han's survival. It wasn't just because they had spent some time with Jiang Han and developed feelings; it was more because they were members of the Sky Blade Squad.

If their commander died in battle, but they all returned alive, how would the other experts in the Sky Domain Army view them? They might even be punished by the Military Law Department.

Time passed slowly, and soon half an hour had passed. Ying Sui became anxious and asked, "Yun Rui, what's the situation with the commander? Can you divine anything?"

Yun Rui kept his eyes closed, the tortoise shell on his back flashing. He didn't open his eyes, but simply waved his hand, indicating that he was still divining.

Xuan Ye hesitated for a moment before saying, "Why don't we go and assist him? If the commander dies in battle, we won't have a good outcome!"

Bing Xi, because she cultivated the Supreme Law of Ice, had a very cold personality and rarely spoke.

But at this moment, she said, "Agreed!"

Ying Sui nodded and said, "Let's go and assist him. We feel uneasy just waiting here."

Many other Celestial Emperors didn't speak. Their silence indicated that they weren't very willing to go and assist, after all, their combat power was too weak, and they had no chance of winning against a Saint Ruler.

Besides, Jiang Han told them to wait here. If they left without permission, they would be violating military orders.

"No need!"

Yun Rui finally opened his eyes at this moment. He waved his hand, stood up, and looked towards the west, saying, "The commander is back!"

"Uh…"

The group of experts all stood up, their gazes turned to the west. After waiting for a moment, a stream of light flew from the west, arriving in the blink of an eye.

"The commander is amazing!"

Fox Fairy'er's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Han so composed, and she said with some surprise, "Could it be that the commander killed that Saint Ruler?"

Some Celestial Emperors were slightly moved, but more Celestial Emperors felt somewhat incredulous. After all, there was a fundamental difference between a Saint Ruler and a Celestial Emperor, and their combat power differed greatly.

"Open the formation!"

Jiang Han's voice rang out, and Zhong Su immediately activated the formation, allowing Jiang Han to fly in.

Xuan Ye's personality was similar to Nujiang's, somewhat impetuous. He quickly walked to Jiang Han's side and asked, "Commander, how was the situation? Did you… kill the Heavenly Lin Clan's Saint Ruler?"

"Buzz~"

Jiang Han's spatial immortal artifact flashed, and then a corpse was thrown out. He said, "This counts as our squad's war功!"

"Whoa~"

The group of Celestial Emperors immediately erupted. Although the corpse was burned beyond recognition, they were all knowledgeable people. After a brief investigation, they could sense that this was indeed the corpse of a Saint Ruler.

Especially Xuan Ye, Ying Sui, and Nujiang, they were very familiar with the aura of this Saint Ruler and immediately confirmed that it was indeed the previous Saint Ruler.

"Commander is mighty!"

Fox Fairy'er was very skilled at flattery. She looked at Jiang Han with admiration and said, "Commander is really amazing. He can actually kill a Saint Ruler with the cultivation of a Celestial Emperor. Very few experts in the entire Sky Domain Army's history have been able to do that. Only Lord Wu Jiu could do it back then, and you will become the second Lord Wu Jiu in the future!"

"Commander is mighty!"

Ying Sui and Ying Yun exchanged glances, sincerely marveling, and secretly admiring Jiang Han at the same time.

Jiang Han killed the Saint Ruler, but he attributed the credit to the squad. Although everyone wouldn't receive a particularly large amount of military merit, Jiang Han's magnanimity was admirable.

"Commander is tough!"

Xuan Ye gave a thumbs up, but he was somewhat suspicious in his heart, and not just him, Qianye Yunrui and the others were also somewhat suspicious.

Because Jiang Han was a body cultivator, but the Saint Ruler was burned to death alive, which was a method that only fire-attribute experts possessed.

Could it be that Jiang Han was a dual cultivator of body and magic? Was body cultivation just his disguise? Was he actually a magic cultivator?

Jiang Han's expression didn't change much. He turned his gaze to Xuan Ye and asked, "You captured two Celestial Emperors?"

"Yes!"

Xuan Ye took out a pottery jar and released the two Celestial Emperors. He said, "Commander, do you want to soul search them?"

"No need!"

Jiang Han shook his head. He thought for a moment, then looked at a Celestial Emperor with yellow hair and said, "Huang Xun, I remember you know how to traverse the void over extremely long distances?"

Huang Xun nodded, and Jiang Han said, "You send this Saint Ruler's corpse, these two living Celestial Emperors, and the identity token of the Central Domain scout back to Sky Domain City and hand them over to the Military Intelligence Department, then you go to the south and meet up with us."

The group of experts were stunned, not understanding the meaning of Jiang Han's actions.

Wouldn't it be better to hand over all the spoils of war after they returned? Why did Huang Xun have to go back alone?

Seeing that some of the experts were somewhat puzzled, Jiang Han explained, "City Lord Ding established the Sky Blade Squad alone and gave us such high treatment and specifications. There is a lot of controversy within the Sky Domain Army, and many experts are dissatisfied with this."

"So we have to prove it to them and bring glory to City Lord Ding and Lord Wu Jiu."

"I plan to wander around outside more, hunt more scouts, and kill more Celestial Emperors. Even… kill one or two more Saint Rulers, so that the experts of the Sky Domain Army will no longer question us."

"I see!"

The group of experts nodded slightly, but there was still some doubt in the depths of their eyes. Jiang Han's explanation was somewhat far-fetched.

Jiang Han did have a real reason that he didn't say, which was that he was afraid that the experts would die in battle outside with him.

Now that he sent the spoils of war back, the Military Merit Department could immediately record their merits for them. Even if they died in battle, these merits would be counted for their families.

He didn't dare to say this, for fear of affecting morale.

Anyway, Huang Xun could shuttle through the void over long distances, and it wouldn't take long to make a round trip. He was a Celestial Emperor with combat power, so unless he was particularly unlucky and encountered a Saint Ruler, there wouldn't be any problems.

Huang Xun took the two Celestial Emperors away, and also took the corpse and the identity token of the scout, and left across the void.

Jiang Han didn't stay, he said, "Let's go, while the enemy hasn't reacted, let's go to the south and kill for a while. Now that we've started killing, let's kill more this time."

"As for the Crown Prince's whereabouts… let's just rely on luck. If we can find out, we'll find out. If we can't, it doesn't matter."

Jiang Han took the group of experts into his immortal artifact, and then led them all the way to the south via teleportation.
