"What kind of people are you exactly? How dare you make a move in the City of Greed? Aren't you afraid of the enforcers?"
"Hahaha! You are so naive. Here, we have used the Seven-Star Prison God Stake to block all perception. Even an ordinary immortal god cannot break through momentarily, and yet you, a mere saint, dare to speak so boldly!"
"Stop wasting time with this kid. Delay may bring about changes. Let's take care of him quickly!"
"Third brother is right. Once we seize this battleship, we can cash in. Stop dilly-dallying!"
"I never expected our luck to be this good, stumbling upon a lone wealthy aristocrat!"
"Alright! Let's first break his protective artifact!"
"No problem! I'll follow your lead, boss!" The other six individuals responded in unison, swiftly manipulating their hand seals. Seven large swords suspended in the sky descended one after another, fiercely slashing towards Bexia.
"Swoosh —!" x7
The seven swords slashed down together, and the divine great barrier immediately shone brightly. The angelic figures raised their shield, successfully blocking all seven swords.
"He's quite skilled!"
"This kid has some moves!"
"So tough!"
"Bro, let's break his artifact together!"
"Deploy the Seven-Star Sword Formation!"
"Seven-Star Sword Formation! Activate!" x7
The seven Seven-Star Saints spoke simultaneously. Their hand seals continuously changed, coordinating with the seven swords in the sky to slowly transform into countless smaller swords swirling around Bexia in a highly organized pattern in just a moment.
"Seven-Star Sword Formation!"
"River of Stars!"
Countless light swords converged into a river of swords, as if falling from the heavens, all aimed at Bexia.
"Clang clang clang —!"
Countless light swords impacted the massive shield. Each strike was not particularly powerful, but highly penetrating. This consumed a significant amount of Bexia's energy, clearly indicating the opponent's intention to deplete his strength using this method. Once Bexia lost his strength, his "artifact" would naturally become ineffective.
Although the opponent's strategy was not entirely flawed, the maintenance of Bexia's Luminous Crown was not reliant on him. As an eternal-level deity, Arahtys possessed energy far beyond what a saint could imagine, and the Luminous Crown could autonomously restore its power.
After a flashy attack of light swords, Bexia felt no sense of danger at all. Looking at the seemingly endless river of swords, it was utterly useless against him.
"Darn it! What kind of artifact is this?"
"This turtle shell is so tough. Continuing like this will be very disadvantageous for us!"
"Let's use our ultimate moves, take him down!"
"Utilize the Seven-Star Shining World!"
"Good! Seven-Star Shining World!" x6
"Boom boom boom —!" The formation roared, and seven stars shone brightly, erupting massive energy beams towards Bexia.
"Boom boom boom —!" Violent collisions erupted on the divine great barrier. Seeing this, the Seven-Star Saints initially showed expressions of surprise, but soon realized their efforts were in vain because there was not a single sign of the barrier breaking!
"Darn it! Attack him with all our might. I refuse to believe we can't break through this kid's defense today!"
"Fourth brother, don't be impulsive. The harder it is to break through, the stronger this kid's protective artifact is. Once we capture him, this artifact will be ours!"
"What Fifth said is correct!"
"This kid is quite something. We must make sure to kill him and eliminate all traces later. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good if the forces behind him come knocking on our door!"
"Second Brother is right, we must clean up properly!"
"Are you lot a bit foolish! Clearly, you can't break through my defense. Why waste time here?" Bexia looked boredly at the seven guys and continued, "If you leave now, I'll pretend this never happened. Otherwise..."
"Brothers! What he said makes sense, maybe we should leave!"
"Are you stupid, Seventh Brother! Can you trust what he says? What if he immediately has people from the forces behind him come cause trouble for us after we leave Mingxing Gate?"
"Third Brother makes sense!"
"And he actually said we can't break through his defense. Let's show him the power of the Seven Star Saints today!"
"Each one of you seems a bit dim-witted!" Bexia scanned the seven men and said with a disdainful curl of her lip.
"Oh damn, I can't take this. He actually said we, brothers, have problems in the head!"
"It angers me too much, I want to kill this kid!"
"Chop him up and feed him to the dogs!"
"Enough! Stop arguing!" The eldest of the Seven Star Saints scolded. To be honest, if the seven weren't blood brothers, he wouldn't want to spend time with them, as some of them truly were dim-witted!
"Breaking Law Talisman!" The leader of the Seven Star Saints held a flashing black light talisman in his hand, somewhat reluctantly tossing it toward Bexia. This talisman was specifically used to destroy the Undying Divine Body. He believed there should be no problem breaking through a divine artifact's defense.
Bexia felt the power of the thrown talisman was not small. When it landed on the Sacred Grand Barrier, he felt the energy flow becoming sluggish and the defense weakening significantly. This talisman actually had such power!
The Luminous Crown itself had no power and entirely relied on Arahtys' power to maintain. The Breaking Law Talisman couldn't counter the Luminous Crown but rather halted the circulation of Arahtys' power, causing the energy to stagnate, weakening the defense of the Sacred Grand Barrier.
