Swallowed Star 1363 Confrontation

That red-faced warrior walked toward Luo Feng. Then, with a grin, he said, "Milky Way, you think after changing your look, with that messy hair, we wouldn't be able to recognize you? No matter how hard you try to change your looks, your G.o.dly power and aura remain unchanged. So long as you get a little nearer to us, we will be able to recognize you right away."
Luo Feng's gaze swept through the surroundings. "There must be more than one of you."
"Captain and the rest have arrived," the red-faced warrior replied via voice transmission. "They are scattered all over the place. Your power. All of us witnessed it for ourselves from the edge of the true G.o.d level battlefield. Being able to escape so easily even though you are pitted against several true G.o.ds… I honestly wouldn't have the confidence to handle you single-handedly."
Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua! Hua!
A distance away, over ten figures were approaching from the chaotic Xuan Yu Mountain's army. Luo Feng's sweeping gaze recognized one of the figures as the captain with a gigantic curved horn. The others were the batch of warriors under his command. One by one, those warriors communicated with him via voice transmission.
"New recruit, Milky Way, you are much more powerful than we expected."
"Your powers are indeed quite impressive."
"We are willing to accept you, for you to be one of us."
Even the captain was looking at Luo Feng, and he said, "New recruit, Milky Way!"
"Captain." Luo Feng looked at the captain who had looked down on him when he had just entered the Python River Army as a new recruit. At that moment, this same captain was all smiles and appeared to be so winsome.
"Previously, we did not accept you because, normally, new recruits are weak. But your power has earned our recognition." The captain said this in a most straightforward manner. "All you have to do is contribute those true G.o.d corpses and share them with us. From then on, within our little troop, all the warriors will be fully convinced of your loyalty. I will also willingly give up my position as captain… and you will take over!"
"Yes, we are willing to recognize you as our captain and serve you."
"So long as Milky Way is willing to lend us a helping hand, give us a chance for survival!"
"Milky Way!"
One after another, the warriors all looked longingly at Luo Feng. Even the captain wore the same expression, as though he really was selflessly willing to dedicate the position of captain.
Luo Feng's gaze swept across the warriors before him again as he asked, "For real?"
"Of course. This is nothing but the truth."
"We will make you our captain right away," the warriors said, speaking as though they were all of one mind.
Luo Feng smiled instead. But his smile reflected his indifference as he replied, "It's just that, whether you all live or die… What does that have to do with me?"
Instantly, the warriors all stood frozen on the spot when they heard this shocking question.

"I thought none of you were bothered about the survival of new recruits?" Luo Feng said with a sneer. "And now, we are talking about friends.h.i.+p in times of war?"
He had long seen through all this. What captain? What friends.h.i.+p? What jokes! The cruel, brutal army selection process had caused numerous warriors to be annihilated, and the more experienced warriors were used to seeing such annihilations. All they wanted was to become true G.o.ds for themselves. Who cared about this pointless position of captain?
These warriors remained under the captain's command only because he was strong and powerful. If it were for survival, they would most likely have abandoned him right away.
******
18 warriors, including the captain, all wore unpleasant expressions. They had not expected Luo Feng to be so detached from the situation.
"Milky Way!" The curved-horned captain transmitted his words with great anger. "There are now 50 true G.o.ds out there seeking to capture you. They have also guessed that you must be among one of the large groups of law masters of Xuan Yu Mountain. The battlefields of law masters are scattered all over, and there are quite a few under the watchful eyes of true G.o.ds hiding in the distance while sweeping the battlefields to find you. Not far from us, in the sky high above, there is already one such true G.o.d spying on you here."
Luo Feng raised his head to look up into the distant sky.
"I know," Luo Feng replied. "But it is too far away. It won't be able to recognize me."
"But we can inform it," the curved-horned captain said. "All we need to do is make eye contact with it. Right away, it will notice this area. We just have to twitch our lips, and from the shapes of our mouths, it will know what we are trying to tell it."
"Oh?" Luo Feng laughed.
"The moment you are discovered," said the captain, "that true G.o.d only needs to give a single command, and right away, a mult.i.tude of law masters from Nine Smoke Marsh will surround you. By then, you will have no way to escape at all." He stared at Luo Feng. "You are going to be annihilated! Choose! You can choose to hand over the majority of the true G.o.d corpses and bring some back safely to the military camp, or you can get nothing and die here!"
"Make your choice," the warriors spoke up, also staring at Luo Feng.
"Milky Way, this time around, we have very slim hopes of surviving the mission. If you force our hand, we can all die together."
"If we have to die, we will take you along with us."
Luo Feng shook his head. "Then you can all die. I will take these 35 true G.o.d corpses back to the military camp." With that, he turned around while roaring, "Kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds from Nine Smoke Mars.h.!.+"
He immediately transformed into flowing light and charged off into the distance.
******
The 18 warriors, including the captain, were shocked. They had not expected up until now that this new recruit, Milky Way, could be so fearless. Could it be that he truly thought he could escape when under the siege of an entire group of top figures from Nine Smoke Marsh?
Although they were shocked, they were extremely fast in reacting! Even as Luo Feng was on the move, the 18 of them also set off.
"You want us dead, new recruit, then you shall die, too!"
"Loathsome Milky Way!"
"You deserve to die."
"You are the one who forced us."
Some of the warriors wore fearsome expressions with their eyes filled with madness as they charged at Luo Feng.
At that moment, Luo Feng, who was continuing to fly at high speed, only responded with a cold smile.
Hong! Hong!
The second volume of Extermination was fully executed! The speed attained was wicked—so fast that it quickly shook off the warriors.
"You think you can keep up with me?" Luo Feng could not be bothered with them at all.
Among the numerous warriors who were after him, the curved-horned captain was the fastest. "Milky Way, don't you dare think of escaping!" he shouted.
The captain had initially thought that this new recruit would be worried about his situation. He had a.s.sumed that he could use this as an excuse to coerce Milky Way into handing over some of the corpses. Yet reality greatly differed from his expectations. This new recruit, Milky Way, had no intention of escaping at all.
The other warriors had not seen Luo Feng going crazy before, but the curved-horned captain had witnessed his previous actions. He knew that if this new recruit was to truly get all fired up… the other warriors would not be able to handle him at all.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Behind the captain, a gigantic pair of black wings appeared behind the captain. On the edges of these black wings were numerous black ribbons.
Hua!
The gigantic black wings had as many as a few hundred black ribbons, and it sped across the length of s.p.a.ce to enshroud the area ahead; no matter how fast Luo Feng was, he could not match the speed of this weapon.
Luo Feng's surroundings suddenly darkened. Looking back, he saw huge black ribbons that resembled numerous huge snakes moving quickly to enshroud the surroundings.
"Scram!" Luo Feng shouted.
He held two hammers. Because he had spent time among the many Xuan Yu Mountain law masters under a disguised ident.i.ty, and he did not want that faraway beast true G.o.d who had been snooping around the battlefields to discover his ident.i.ty, he had purposely chosen a pair of hammers to use as his battle weapon.
Hua!
The two hammers each made an arc. With the energy of his G.o.dly power burning up fervently, the might of the two hammers was astonis.h.i.+ng. When they swept through the surroundings, the black ribbons were thrown back a little. Unfortunately, such a slight delay was enough time for many black ribbons to form a huge black sphere, which quickly moved over to enshroud him entirely.
"What great resilience. Such incredible power." Luo Feng could feel the power of the ribbons through his hammers and could not hold back his shock. "This captain did not execute any secret technique at all. The power of these black ribbons that appear to enshroud the surroundings is so strong. This does not make sense."
Strong powers usually involved secret techniques. Yet the ribbons' enshrouding force alone was incredibly strong.
"Could it be an automaton-type treasure?" Luo Feng quickly inferred a conclusion based on what he had seen. "I must break through it with my Blood Ghost Blade. If I hope to break through it, I need to execute my strongest blade technique. However, if I were to continue in this entanglement, I don't know how much time I will be wasting. I'm just worried that toward the end, I will be discovered by that beast true G.o.d."
******
The captain and his new recruit, Milky Way, exchanged moves instantly. Although the other tribal warriors around them had doubts about the reasons why these two were engaged in battle, they held back their doubts. After all, from the sidelines, the attacks that captain was executing merely seemed as though he was trying to restrain with a spiritual force weapon. The onlooker had their doubts. Even if there were past enmities, how could they be fighting at such a time? Could it be because of some victory spoils?
"Captain, your Black Cloud Wings are impressive."
"Black Cloud Wings fly so quickly and has such great restraining powers. It is extremely adept in protecting itself, it is the absolute treasure to own for escape and survival."
The other warriors were filled with envy.
At that moment—
Hong!
The many black ribbons shrouding the black sphere suddenly took off into the distance at a terrifying speed. A b.u.mp unexpectedly appeared on the black sphere. It was as though, there was a monster hidden within the sphere formed by the black ribbons, which was flying at a high rate of speed and forcibly pulling the black sphere along with it as it rocketed through the sky.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Numerous black ribbons gradually tore apart to reveal an ancient battles.h.i.+p, and there seemed to be countless black ribbons entangled over the surface of the ancient battles.h.i.+p. These black ribbons kept the ancient battles.h.i.+p under layers of restraint, but the ancient battles.h.i.+p was still traveling at a speed that was continuously soaring as though it was not affected whatsoever.
It was flying at such a super high speed! And the speed was continuously soaring!
"What?" the captain roared, losing his cool. "Such a strong flying power!"
Through his Black Cloud Wings, Captain tried his best to manipulate the ancient battles.h.i.+p. But the s.h.i.+p was far too strong; it simply could not be shaken. On the contrary, the captain was tugged along to fly at an extremely high rate of speed in the distance.
"Captain," said a voice. "I thought you wanted to bring me to see a true G.o.d? Let's go meet him, then."
The ancient battles.h.i.+p pulled the captain along with it as it zoomed high up into the sky. How powerful the driving force of Boat of Mausoleum was! If it released an outburst, would this universe master be able to block it?
Hu!
The battles.h.i.+p was extremely fast, and it was charging into the sky far and high above. In the outermost area of the sky above the battlefield, there was a winding and hovering beast true G.o.d.
"Stop, stop!" the captain shouted angrily. "Are you courting doom?"
"Haha…!" said a voice. "Let's go see the true G.o.d and see which one of us is going to die."
The ancient battles.h.i.+p was still advancing rapidly in the direction of the beast true G.o.d.
The captain was extremely fl.u.s.tered. He knew. He had stolen a true G.o.d corpse, too! Although the group of true G.o.ds from Nine Smoke Marsh were eager to apprehend Luo Feng. Luo Feng had kept himself hidden within that battles.h.i.+p; not a single breath could be detected from the outside. Most likely, that beast true G.o.d would not be able to verify Luo Feng's ident.i.ty. On the contrary, it would first confirm that the captain was the first to have stolen a true G.o.d corpse. Then, they would certainly not give him a chance to escape!
"You are so vicious!" The captain was very angry, but he had no choice but to give up. The black ribbons that were pestering the ancient s.h.i.+p rapidly released their grip as the captain quickly detached himself from the ancient battles.h.i.+p. "You have an automaton-type blade, and even an automaton-type battles.h.i.+p? The driving force of a battles.h.i.+p is very powerful. Even my automaton-type Black Cloud Wings are unable to stay within my reins."
The captain hovered in midair as he looked helplessly at that ancient battles.h.i.+p speeding off into the distance amidst the gra.s.slands of the marsh. He was filled with reluctance. "I didn't know you had an automaton-type battles.h.i.+p!" he said. "That was why you were able to escape!" He added through gritted teeth, "You escaped once before, but I don't think you will be able to escape again."
******
A short while later, amidst the Nine Smoke Marsh army that consisted of a few thousand beast warriors, a mult.i.tude of beasts were roaring and yelling. Then they charged toward Xuan Yu Mountain.
"Kill! We will kill you all b.a.s.t.a.r.ds of Xuan Yu Mountain!" roared Golden Horned Beast, who resembled a huge lizard with wings.
From the army of Nine Smoke Marsh, it took off and charged at Xuan Yu Mountain.
