Swallowed Star: The Zerg Overlord

Chapter 76: Provocation

"What plan?" The black-clad man, Hong, furrowed his brow. Such a large commotion just to lure him here couldn't be about something trivial.

"It's about the monsters, but this isn't the place to talk about it!" Qin Mu said calmly, looking at the several streaks of light passing by in the distance.

The Chinese military and the Thunder Dojo arrived almost simultaneously. Strong individuals flew out from their respective fighter jets. The Chinese side was represented by two Planetary level individuals. From the Thunder Dojo's fighter jet emerged a mixed-race, bald, white-robed monk. As soon as the white-robed, bald monk appeared, he burst into laughter.

"Brother Hong, you beat me again! I left as soon as I got the news, but I was still a bit slower. Did you already get the Cloud Vine?"

Hong shook his head lightly, his gaze on Qin Mu filled with gravity. From the satellite data alone, Hong could conclude that the Cloud Vine was quite powerful. On Earth, only he and Lei Shen could have subdued it. Yet, the rapidly rising Qin Mu had also managed to do so easily.

Following Hong's gaze, the white-robed, bald monk looked at Qin Mu. "Qin Mu? Did you get the Cloud Vine?"

Seeing the white-robed, bald monk, Qin Mu smiled and replied. "Yes! I was fortunate to get it."

A person who liked to wear white robes, was bald, and called Hong his brother, it was clear who this person was. The head of the Thunder Dojo—Lei Shen.

"Your strength is impressive. Would you like to spar sometime?" Unlike the mature and steady Hong, Lei Shen's personality was more impulsive and his actions more spontaneous. 

On Earth, others were too far behind in strength to even spar with him. The only one he could spar with was Hong, but every time they sparred, he was one-sidedly beaten. After too many times, he lost interest in sparring with Hong. Now, discovering a strong martial artist like Qin Mu, how could he not be excited?

"Of course!" Qin Mu smiled. This was something he had been hoping for, or rather, it was one of his goals.

During their conversation, Jia Yi did not speak but greeted the two and stood behind Qin Mu, showing his support. He knew that Qin Mu would seize the opportunity to challenge Hong and Lei Shen.

However, Qin Mu and Lei Shen were not in a hurry to fight. Not only were the spirits of nature on the ground not yet collected, but more fighter jets were arriving in the distance. The forces from the other four major countries and the HR Alliance also arrived.

"Greetings to the First Chairman, Second Chairman." From the HR Alliance's fighter jet, a brown-haired, white man with flames all over his body flew out, greeting Hong and Lei Shen with respect. 

From the American fighter jet, a tall, strong white man also respectfully saluted Hong and Lei Shen. "Greetings to the First Chairman, Second Chairman."

The forces from the five major countries and the HR Alliance all saluted Hong and Lei Shen.

The leader of the American forces, seemingly respectfully greeting Hong and Lei Shen, asked, "There are so many spirits of nature here, and the Cloud vine. How should they be distributed?" As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Hong and Lei Shen. The other strong individuals from various forces also held their breath, listening intently.

Hong just shook his head. "Let's go! To collect the spirits of nature!"

The strong individuals from America, Europa, and other countries were about to rush down to Misty Island.

However, the flame-covered man from the HR Alliance, after looking at a white man in front of him and seemingly receiving some instructions, suddenly spoke.

"The Chinese side should have arrived the earliest. They've collected so many spirits of nature. These spirits of nature should be shared. You Chinese are being too greedy!"

Almost everyone present was above Wargod level. How could they not notice that Qin Mu's floating backpack behind him was filled with over a hundred spirits of nature. If it were just one or two spirits of nature, they might not think much of it. But over a hundred spirits of nature?

That meant over a hundred peak Wargods!

Moreover, these spirits of nature, probably powerful enough to create an above wargod level, made them even more eager. They just didn't dare to say it outright because of Hong and Lei Shen. Although Hong had established the Hongning Base City and founded the Limit Dojo, he was still of Chinese origin. Hong would definitely favor China in his heart.

Hearing the flame-covered man's words, Qin Mu's face showed a cold smile.

"HR Alliance's Fa Er, right? Do you have a problem with our nation?" Qin Mu had seen the intelligence reports on all the current strong individuals on Earth, especially those at the planetary level, so he had some understanding of this man's background.

"It's not about having a problem! But with so many spirits of nature, you can't possibly take them all. And that ten-thousand-year-old willow heart, a spirit of nature of that level could create a councilor-level individual! "

Fa Er's eyes showed greed. If he could get such a spirit of nature, wouldn't he have a chance to reach the strength level of Hong and Lei Shen? Even if he couldn't use it himself within the HR Alliance, he still had thoughts about it.

A cold light flashed in Qin Mu's eyes, and without another word, the Crescent Blades behind him flew out, striking Fa Er's chest with lightning speed. Fa Er's scalp tingled, unable to counterattack as the attack hit him.

"Wa—" Fa Er spat out a mouthful of blood, his chest caved in, and his bones broken. If not for the Black God Suit, this attack would have killed him instantly.

"How dare you!" A fighter leading the HR Alliance, enraged, raised his weapon to attack. But the moment he moved, over a dozen Crescent Blades around Qin Mu shot out at over twenty times the speed of sound, instantly striking him. In just a moment, he was sent flying like Fa Er, spitting out blood.

"Atkin? What a trash!"

Qin Mu's eyes were cold. Among the HR Alliance, only East was worth his respect. The others were scum, targets for elimination after Earth's unification. The reason he respected East a bit was not for his strength but for his sacrifice in the original timeline to help Luo Feng kill the Golden Horned Beast.

"Black God Suit? I'm curious whether this Black God Suit can save your lives?"

A chilling smile appeared on Qin Mu's lips.

The 256 Crescent Blades converged, forming a silver moonlight tens of meters long, slashing towards Atkin. However, just as the moonlight was about to touch Atkin, Hong appeared in front of it. With Hong at the center, the space within a hundred meters plunged into endless darkness, and the silver moonlight seemed to sink into mud, its speed drastically slowing down. When it reached Hong, it was knocked away by his spear.

"Your strike would have killed him."
