Chapter 987: Chapter 987

"Got careless, didn’t you? Surrounded by so many of the Strong Ones, and you dare to attack Pai Lan, you’re practically asking for death!" The Executioner Monster let out a sneer of mockery.

And at the same time, his full-force slash had already struck Jia Yan’s back!

"Huh!?" What shocked him to the core was that Jia Yan’s defense on his back was unexpectedly formidable.

His large knife seemed to have met the hardest metal in the world, and when it struck down, it felt like the blade had hit an immobile huge stone, sending a massive recoil that almost made it unbearable for him.

"Not good, this guy is more powerful than we anticipated!" The Monster was alarmed, but before he could think further, a hind leg, radiating a terrifying stream of light and lined with backward-facing spurs, brutally sawed across his body!

The Monster brandishing the large knife let out a scream as he was flung backward.

While doing this, Jia Yan was still simultaneously battling against four other top-tier fighters. A mere fifty-foot monster able to fight against five of the top ten fighters and still achieve such terrifying results was indeed inconceivable.

Meanwhile, as several Strong Ones were clashing, a trembling spaceship that had flown to within one thousand kilometers nearby was filled with dumbfounded thoughts continuously arising from within.

This spaceship was a mining ship that had been dispatched to gather interstellar materials in the area.

Having traveled through space jumps, this wasn’t a very bustling area, and it was rich in ownerless small interstellar materials, making this spaceship nothing more than a perfectly average mining vessel.

Yet this ordinary ship, at such close range, was witnessing a grand battle of fighters at the level of the top ten Strong Ones!

"Look, isn’t that the Star Martial Lord? The strongest of the Tianlong Clan, who have always been arrogant, are now joining forces with other Strong Ones to suppress another fighter. Who in the world could that opponent be?"

"Are you out of your mind? You only recognize the Star Martial Lord, but look, those other fighters joining forces are all from among the top ten Strong Ones! How can this be, who could possibly make five of the top ten Strong Ones come together to assault them? Could it be they are taking down Tianwu Lord, who ranks number one?"

"No, that’s not Tianwu. If you’ve seen the recent news, you’d know that’s Jia Yan! But wasn’t he just at the Early Stars level before? The news even mentioned there was information on him for the Defense Team. How is it possible, for Jia Yan’s strength to be so formidable? To hold his own against an assault from five of the Strong Ones at the level of the top ten?"

"Regardless, this is sensational material; we’ve struck gold. Just record the battle footage, and media outlets willing to pay a hefty price will be countless. This is a fight at the level of the top ten Strong Ones, with five of them ganging up on Jia Yan—it’s the biggest news. Quick, start recording and contact the major media outlets!"

The creatures on the mining ship couldn’t believe the battle unfolding before them, and amidst their astonishment, they also had a thought: to make a fortune off this unexpected event!

It wasn’t long before many media channels received the transmissions sent from the operators on the spaceship.

The entire media went wild!

Since the gathering event, Jia Yan had been constantly in the media spotlight, with each appearance more astonishing than the last, especially after he had been hunted by Lord Pai Lan and Star Martial Lord of the top ten fighters and miraculously escaped. The media had been closely monitoring news about Jia Yan every single day, but no one expected that a mining ship from a remote area would transmit such a thrilling report...

Jia Yan had outdone himself this time, battling against five of the Strong Ones!?

And it seemed his strength had soared even higher, facing five of the top ten Strong Ones. How could this god-like figure be struggling against five opponents without a clear outcome?

Was this the same person who, during the gathering conference, was only deemed a dark horse, possibly capable of overcoming a being from the Middle period of the Starry Sky?

Forget the Middle period of the Starry Sky—even among the top ten fighters, he was now fighting one against five; his underestimation knew no bounds!

"This is Desolate Galaxy’s big media channel, with an urgent report from among the stars..."

"Good evening to our viewers, we have breaking news for you... We now connect you for a special report from our emergency news correspondent."

"A major battle has erupted in a remote area, a clash where no one could have expected that it would involve five of the great top ten Strong Ones of our Galaxy, with the other party being a fighter who has recently stirred much debate—the most prominent Strong One in our Galaxy nowadays. He is the dark horse that rose to fame in the gathering event, whom after consistently making headlines, Jia Yan!"

"Jia Yan has now launched a counteroffensive against the five Strong Ones and has even withstood their attacks, coming out alive. What’s the reason behind this, and what kind of impact will the emergence of this Strong One have on our Galaxy? We have invited Lord Piao Piaopiao from the Desolate Galaxy War Strength Academy to analyze this for us."

Not just the media, but the entire Desolate Star System boiled over because of the signal from this mining ship!

This wasn’t the usual fighter combat!

Instead, it was a battle with five god-like Strong Ones fighting one!
