Chapter 2712: A Single Punch

In the Darkstar World, the people of the Darkstar race never treated the outsiders as a big deal. They knew that in the Saints’ World, these outsiders were very powerful, extremely powerful, so powerful that they could annihilate the entire Darkstar race with a single breath.

However, they also knew that as long as these great experts could not enter here, those who could enter were paper tigers at most, regardless of how strong they were. The outsiders were all ants who could be crushed whenever. None of the people of the Darkstar race took them seriously.

As a result, when Jian Chen provoked the G.o.dkings of the Darkstar race after disguising himself as a middle-aged man, the G.o.dkings immediately became infuriated. Killing intent filled their eyes without any attempt to hide it.

“How dare you! An outsider independent cultivator is actually challenging us? Are you sick and tired of living…”

“The seventh hall master is generous. He has already been benevolent enough to you lot by sparing you outsider independent cultivators and small groups, yet now you come to challenge us recklessly without any consideration for your life. This is unforgivable…”

“Bow your head to the ground immediately and admit your mistake, and we’ll leave you with a full corpse. Otherwise, we’ll cut you up into pieces and feed you to the Life-devouring Beasts…”

…

The G.o.dkings of the Darkstar race roared as they looked at Jian Chen like he was a dead man.

The cultivators hunted down by the Darkstar race seemed to see a ray of hope. Their eyes became filled with joy.

The eight of them practised extraordinary cultivation methods and possessed powerful battle skills, which made them extremely strong. They could take on three early G.o.dkings alone, but they could not last forever while doing that. At the same time, if they used their powerful secret techniques and battle skills, it would take an extremely great toll on them as well or even make them pay a certain price. If this battle became dragged out, they would still suffer defeat in the end and die at the hands of the Darkstar race.

With Jian Chen’s appearance and the presence of a G.o.dking he vaguely gave off, the outsiders saw a glimmer of hope.

“Brother, we are from the Hao family. Please a.s.sist us in killing the enemies, and our Hao family will be endlessly grateful to you,” one of the Hao family G.o.dkings immediately called out. He was burning his essence blood to fight three people at once, which took a great toll on him. His origin energy was depleted, and he had no time to replenish it through divine crystals either. He was almost at the end of the line. He could not last much longer.

An additional G.o.dking at a time like this would not increase their chances of victory significantly, but they would have the opportunity to use a secret technique to heavily injure or even kill a Darkstar race G.o.dking as long as they could keep a Darkstar race G.o.dking busy. Such a result would increase their chances of escape.

Jian Chen was composed, only looking at the five G.o.dkings from the Darkstar race. He did not pay too much attention to the Hao family.

He had appeared because he was about to save these people. He had never heard of the Hao family.

Across the forty-nine great planes and eight-one great planets of the Saints’ World, there were many peak organisations littered in every corner. There were even some peak organisations that did not found their sects or clans on these planes or planets, but in a region of outer s.p.a.ce, altering it into a place that could sustain people.

Overall, there really were quite a lot of peak organisations across the Saints’ World.

As long as an organisation possessed a Grand Prime, they were a peak organisation.

With so many peak organisations, it was impossible for Jian Chen to know them all.

When the G.o.dking of the Hao family stated his ident.i.ty, he was rather proud, as the Hao family was a renowned existence across the entire Saints’ World. It was a family that almost everyone knew about.

Even among the peak organisations gathered in Hundred Saint City, their Hao family possessed quite the authority. Almost all of the organisations would treat them politely. When any independent cultivator heard that they were the Hao family, they would all show great respect and fawn over them.

However, when he looked back at Jian Chen, he was surprised, as he did not find any surprise or shock that he had imagined. The people of the Hao family were rather surprised instead when they saw his indifference.

However, he soon seemed to think of something. In the Saints’ World, there were many organisations that used the name of ‘Hao family’. After all, the Saints’ World was just too large, and there were simply too many people. Coming across organisations with the same name was no longer something strange. As a matter of fact, even in the Darkstar race, some smaller organisations would share the same name as larger organisations that they had no relation with.

“We’re the Hao family of the Prosper Plane. Brother, if you a.s.sist us, we can even provide a recommendation for you to join our Hao family once we return. On the Prosper Plane, our Hao family is a supreme organisation that stands second above everyone else on the plane,” the G.o.dking continued. He was afraid that Jian Chen did not understand the strength of the Hao family as an independent cultivator, so he added a few more details.

At a desperate time like this, he worked rather hard to rope Jian Chen in.

Jian Chen still did not waver, but when he heard the Prosper Plane, he could not help but raise an eyebrow. He was very sensitive to the Prosper Plane because that was where the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng resided.

He still possessed a large amount of merit with the Heavenly Palace of Bisheng.

Jian Chen could not help but look at these people in surprise. He had never thought that they came from the Prosper Plane. Since that was the case, he had to save them now.

The G.o.dkings of the Darkstar race had lost most of their patience. One of them called out, “What’re you blabbering so much for when you’re about to die? Stark, kill him.”

Stark was one of the five G.o.dkings of the Darkstar race. He immediately abandoned one of the G.o.dkings from the Hao family that he was fighting and rushed towards Jian Chen.

The eyes of the G.o.dking who fought three people at the same time lit up. He had gone from one against three to one against two, which lessened the pressure on him significantly. He immediately said to Jian Chen secretly, “Brother, keep him busy for five minutes.” With that, his presence began to rise, but his face became even paler.

“Five minutes? There’s no need.” Jian Chen shook his head gently. He could already tell that the G.o.dkings was burning the power of his soul. Clearly, he was willing to throw his life away.

“You dumb brute, I’ll feed your corpse to the Life-devouring Beasts after all of this since you intruded upon the matters of our Darkstar race.” On the other side, Stark had already arrived before Jian Chen. A meter-long spike appeared in his hand, and he stabbed it towards Jian Chen’s forehead with pulsing energy.

Jian Chen did not try to dodge or avoid it. Stark’s spike landed on Jian Chen’s forehead without any obstruction.

“Oh no, the independent cultivator is done for. Sigh, why is he so weak? He has been killed off right from the start…”

“We’re done for. And I had thought he could keep one of them busy. Turns out he’s so weak…”

The other G.o.dking of the Hao family and the OverG.o.ds immediately became ashen when they saw this. Their glimmer of hope was put out in the blink of an eye.

Stark secretly rejoiced. “He really is a dumb brute. And I previously thought you had some strength for being at G.o.dking. Turns out you’re so weak.”

But very soon, Stark’s expression changed drastically. It was replaced by shock. His spike had failed to penetrate anything when it struck Jian Chen’s forehead. Instead, it felt like he had hit something hard. The powerful backlash made his entire arm numb.

“H- how is this possible?” Stark paled in surprise when he saw how Jian Chen’s head was perfectly fine.

However, before he had any time to respond, Jian Chen threw a punch. The punch contained the Laws of Strength and was vicious. Even the air exploded.

Bang!

The punch struck Stark’s head, and it exploded, directly destroying Stark’s soul.
