Chapter 445 A Blessing in Disguise
Xing Lie raised his hand, and a thick, explosive bolt of lightning mixed with black energy landed on the man with fire-type abilities.
Before he could make a sound, a charred, lifeless body lay on the ground.
The corpse of a nebula-level fire-type mutant was killed by Xing Lie in a single move. In the eyes of the fifty disciples and subordinates brought by the Xing family, it was such a cruel murder.
However, this also made them see a fact clearly: to kill a Nebula-level supernatural being with just a wave of the hand, one needs to be extremely powerful.
"This..." Xing Guangming looked at the fire-type mutant whom he had always been optimistic about, who turned into a corpse in an instant. He was about to say something when he heard Xing Lie ask back.
"Uncle Ming, what do you think of this punishment? Is it too light?"
Xing Guangming was suddenly shocked. "No, no, no, the young master will personally carry out the punishment. It is the punishment he deserves. Not light, not light."
Xing Lie walked towards Xing Dandan and took a quick glance, "Second uncle's daughter?"
Xing Dandan looked at the charred body on the ground and thought she was finished. But when she heard Xing Lie's calm tone, she suddenly felt relieved.
"Yes, yes, Brother Lie, you still remember me."
"Being greedy for treasures and exotic beasts and not caring about other people's lives, is this what your second uncle taught you?" Suddenly a black energy surrounded Xing Dandan, but in an instant, Xing Dandan's whole body went limp and he fell to the ground with a pale face.
When Xing Hefeng and Xing Lu'e saw this scene, they were about to step forward to beg for mercy for Xing Dandan, but were stopped by Xing Guangming.
"No need, she deserves it."
"Uncle Ming..." Xing Hefeng and Xing Lu'e were shocked. Xing Guangming usually loved the three of them the most. The family's resources had always been given to them. Why was it now...
But Xing Guangming has a much longer-term vision than the younger generations.
Xing Lie's abilities have improved a lot, and he is getting closer to becoming a god of war. Moreover, if his eyes were not blurry, the black energy that was full of oppression and made him tremble was the Devouring Energy.
Xing Lie, the rare genius in the Xing family, broke the shackles of the ancient universe country and awakened his second superpower, the devouring power.
What he didn't know was that Xing Lie's Devouring ability was the third awakened ability. The second was the Dark ability, which could make his combat power even more unmatched in the dark night.
Xing Lu'e didn't dare to look at Xing Lie, nor did she dare to ask. She looked at Xing Dandan, who was lying limp on the ground, with tearful eyes, and looked at Xing Guangming pitifully.
"Uncle Ming, how is Sister Dandan?"
Xing Guangming shook his head and sighed, "Alas, I have no special abilities at all. Unless I have a chance to start over, I will be a useless person."
"Waste man?" Xing Lu'e's body shook. She lowered her head and clenched her fists, not because she was cruel, but because she was afraid.
Sister Dan had protected her since she was a child and was her most important sister. No matter what she did, in her eyes, she was one of her most important relatives.
Finally, as if he had finally mustered up the courage, he looked up at Xing Lie.
"You, even if Sister Dan made a mistake, you won't destroy her abilities!"
Xing Lie was briefly surprised that a little girl from the Xing family had the guts to speak to him like that. Then, he said coldly, "You're dissatisfied? Do you want to vent her anger or seek revenge?"
Xing Lu'e clenched her fists nervously and fearfully, her fingernails almost digging into the soft flesh of her palms. "You are bullying me by relying on your high level of supernatural power, and I naturally won't accept it! If Sister Dan was at the same level as you today, you would never hurt her like this!"
Xing Guangming never knew that Xing Lu'e, who was supposed to be gentle, would dare to speak for Xing Dandan at this time. "Lu'e, apologize to the young master!"
"I...still have to say I'm sorry!"
Xing Lie frowned, he didn't have time to argue with such a little girl for so long. But seeing Xing Hefeng standing in front of Xin Lu'e, with a posture of protecting her, although his face was terrified, he still stood up bravely.
He looked at Xing Hefeng with approval.
"You're not bad." Then he looked at Xing Lu'e, "Everyone has someone they want to protect. If one day you have the power to do whatever you want, come and stand up for her."
Xing Lu'e gritted her teeth and tried hard to hold back the tears in her eyes.
Seeing that Xing Lie had no intention of pursuing the matter, Xing Hefeng knelt on one knee and clasped his fists, saying, "Thank you, young master, for not making a fuss about Lu'e."
Xing Lie didn't look back. "She did nothing wrong. She was just seeking justice for the people she cared about. I am the same.
Uncle Ming, take them to live somewhere else. If you need anything, just wait at the door here."
"Yes, young master."
"Ayan Xiaowu, you two go together. It's up to you to decide what to say and what not to say."
After Xing Lie finished speaking, he walked towards Hua Jianming and his wife, and led everyone back to the villa area.
In the yard, Hua Jianming and Li Xiaoyu asked anxiously, "Xiao Xing, where is Yangyang? Why didn't she come back with you?"
Before coming back, Xing Lie judged that Hua Yang was fine based on the energy aura of the place where she disappeared. The rich life essence could be felt even outside, so one can imagine the scene in her space.
"Mom and Dad, don't worry, Yangyang is fine. She is in the space and encountered some troubles. She will come out soon."
"trouble?"
"What happened to Yangyang?"
The couple did not feel relieved just because their daughter was in space. In their view, any trouble was dangerous.
"It's a good thing. Don't worry, Yangyang suddenly returned to the space because she brought the Tree of Life to plant it. I think it was the life essence produced by the rooting and sprouting of the Tree of Life that imprisoned her. Let her tell you the details when she comes out, but I don't know at this time."
There are records of the Tree of Life in the books of the Xing family. After a period of time after the seeds of the Tree of Life germinate, a very large isolation zone will be formed, which is full of life essence.
Considering the disappearance of Hua Yang, it should be related to the Tree of Life.
He just didn't know what was going on inside. He came back to the base, firstly to arrange for the family to come, and secondly to explain his daughter's affairs to the family.
And arrange the defense of Haicheng Base. The ancient universe country is coming fiercely, and everyone on Earth is in danger and must be on guard.
At the same time, outside the Earth's protective layer, the major forces from the Cloud Universe, Star Universe, and Original Universe also arrived one after another. They found the loopholes in the protective layer that were broken by Xing Guangming and others and entered the Earth one after another.
Various energies in the universe merge with the spiritual energy in the earth. Although cosmic radiation also flows into the earth, the benefits to those with special abilities outweigh the harm.
The Leixue clan and the Fire clan of the Ancient Universe, the Yun family of the Cloud Universe, the Kong family and the Qiao family of the Star Universe, the Sima family of the Original Universe, and a mysterious organization with influence distributed throughout the Universe, after a brief meeting, began to disperse in search of establishing their own territories.
Wu Qi was naturally not idle either. The mission given to him by the king was to start a war against humans, but now that the major forces of the Ancient Universe Kingdom had arrived, launching a war rashly might intensify the conflict between the Death Land and the Universe Kingdom.
In addition, due to Hua Yang's relationship, this war is unlikely to break out in a short period of time. Not only that, he is more inclined to provoke conflicts among the major families and forces and stimulate their internal conflicts.
He looked at the empty space before Hua Yang disappeared, and murmured to himself, not knowing whether she could hear him or not, "My dear, I have sacrificed a lot for you. You must remember to repay me."
So, Hua Yang, who was trapped in the farmyard in the space, heard Wu Qi's incomprehensible words outside, and then heard a sharp scream.
She was sure that this voice came from Wu Qi. From this voice, she heard a kind of summons. Could this guy be taking advantage of her inability to get out and mobilizing a group of zombies to attack the humans on Earth?
She was anxious, but there was nothing she could do, she couldn't get out.
She remembered what Xing Lie said outside the space before he left. He asked her to integrate the life force of the Tree of Life well, and he would be back soon.
But it has been so long, so long that Wu Qi left after that scream, and he hasn't come back yet. Although she didn't know what the use of Xing Lie coming back here would be, she still couldn't get out.
It would take Xing Lie at most half an hour to come here from Haicheng on his Big Black Horse. Hua Yang waited and waited in the space. No one in the outside world knew whether it was dark or not, but the space was still bright, with no distinction between day and night.
She once thought, if she collected all the crystal fragments in this god-level space, what changes would happen to the space? Would it become a world with distinct day and night?
But think about it, all this is still too fantastic. After all, there is no sun or moon in space, so how can there be day and night?
The life energy in the farmyard finally changed as they absorbed it together. But while they were absorbing, the sapling of the Tree of Life was still desperately releasing its life energy. Although it was releasing it faster than they were absorbing it, how long would it take for it to be able to get out?
There was no difference between day and night in the cave, and Hua Yang didn't know how much time had passed. Suddenly, footsteps were heard in the originally silent cave, and then a conversation came into Hua Yang's ears.
"Clan leader! The Sima family is too overbearing. How could they take away the base of the natives that our Yun family had their eyes on first? That place is big and spacious, we shouldn't give it up!"
"What do you know! The Sima family has a close relationship with the Rong family of the Ancient Universe. This time, the Rong family is led by the third elder. Rong San's wind ability is at the second planetary level. We are no match for him!"
"So what about the Rong family of the Ancient Universe? There are only a hundred of us, can't we beat those thirty or so people?"
"Are you stupid? Can the battle between psychics be decided by numbers? A cosmic-level psychic can wipe out most of our Cloud Universe with his bare hands, and a war god can even destroy the existence of a star field with a wave of his hand.
A planetary-level esper can be as powerful as a hundred nebula-level esper. Besides, Rong San is not a newcomer to the planetary level. It is said that he has been at the second level of the planetary level for a long time, and he is not far from the peak of the planetary level. "
"Ah! This... What should we do? Are we just going to suffer humiliation for nothing? When has our Yun family ever suffered such humiliation in the Yun Universe?"
"Alas, there is no other way. I have to work hard at cultivation. There are so many natives in that place. Although the Rong family is powerful, it is difficult to deal with so many people at once.
These Earthlings only seem to be high-level, but there are indeed a lot of them. Let's not get involved in this mess."
"Hey, did you notice that this place is very strange?"
A clear female voice suddenly exclaimed, and judging from the sound of the voice, the girl was no older than eighteen years old.
"Chief! Look, there are so many plants and fruit trees growing in this cave!
This fruit is also very sweet..."
The footsteps spread out, as if someone was looking around in the cave.
After a while, it was that female voice again.
"Ah! Chief, I! I! I!"
There was another sound of footsteps.
"Qingqing, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, why is your face so red! Speak, don't eat!"
A man's worried voice, accompanied by the "woooo" sound of a girl called Qingqing.
"A Qing? What's wrong with you?"
"I, I, hey, brother, please don't take my fruit! Chief, I've leveled up!"
"ah?"
"What?"
"Qingqing, why did you suddenly upgrade?"
"I remember that you just entered the first level of Nebula not long ago. We didn't have any energy fragments for you to consume along the way. How did you suddenly upgrade?"
Everyone was talking at once, some not quite sure what was going on.
"Have you noticed that the vitality here is extremely strong?"
“It seems so…”
"And look at these plants. Do you remember the scene outside the cave? It was bare with only scattered grass and weeds. How come there is such a rich vitality in this cave?"
"Yeah! There aren't that many grasses and trees out here!"
"The flowers, plants and trees here are actually growing out of the solid rock ground, and they are so thriving. There might be treasures in this place!"
"Chief, I, I've also been upgraded!"
"I, I've leveled up too!"
"I, too, seem to..."
"I……"
Of the 101 people from the Yun family who came this time, everyone except Yun Libo, the head of the Yun family who was at planetary level one, had been promoted to a higher level.
Although Yun Libo's level did not rise, the vigorous life force was permeating his body, and even the injuries he suffered decades ago were slowly healing.
The old patriarch saw his potential and talent and made him the patriarch when he was still young. But then someone in the family opposed it and secretly assassinated him, causing him to be seriously injured.
The injury he suffered affected his sea of consciousness, so his ability level has been rising slowly. The family is also discussing the replacement of the clan leader.
The reason he led the team out this time was, firstly, because someone within the family instigated it, and secondly, the old patriarch had been very kind to him, and leading the team to seize the treasure could be considered a contribution to the family.
I originally thought that after returning to the family after this mission, he would be stripped of the title of patriarch and someone else would be chosen.
But I didn't expect to come across this place.
If his injury can be healed, with his talent and hard work, he can reach the planetary level in less than half a year. By then, no one will have any objection to his position as the clan leader.
Excitedly, he walked towards the place where the energy of life was most concentrated, then sat down on the ground and began to absorb it.
"There is a very rich life essence here, and these plants should be affected by the life essence to be so vigorous.
This opportunity is rare. It takes great luck to encounter a treasure like life essence. Let everyone come in and gather to practice on the spot."
"Chief, shouldn't we find this treasure that exudes the essence of life?"
"No hurry, the Situ family has seized the base we chose, so we will build a Yun family base here. Let's use this mountain as the center."
Thanks to Xiaoya, Penglai Jiangxue, and Suixin for the monthly tickets. Today’s update is here!
