Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 172 The Real Crisis of the Earth

"Divine skill?"

Facing the rolling star, Yan Qingqing immediately realized this.

Without even an original-level priesthood, he could unleash such astonishing power, with a defense so strong that her previous attack could not shake it at all?
Apart from the magical skills, she could hardly think of any other possibilities!
"no solution anymore……"

Yan Qingqing took a deep breath, and her eyebrows suddenly moved slightly, and a crack appeared.

[Current order level drops by 10.4 levels]

Inside the light ball of the Rotating Star Divine Skill, a prompt of a decrease in order level appeared in front of Lin Qing's eyes, and the field also detected the changes in Yan Qingqing.

He couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Yan Qingqing actually transplanted the eyes of a three-eyed person?

What surprised him was not the strength of Yan Qingqing's soul - it was not surprising for a human being who could survive the apocalypse to have such a strong soul.

The key is……

The Three-Eyed Tribe is almost a forbidden territory for the Zhixing people, and it is almost impossible for outsiders to get involved!
As the twenty-four companies are vassal forces of the Zhixing Group, to put it bluntly, Yan Qingqing is just a dog raised by the Zhixing people.

How could the Zhixing people allow Yan Qingqing to obtain the eyes of the three-eyed tribe?

Even if it was the most ordinary sixth-level eyes, the Zhixing people would never give this opportunity to Yan Qingqing!
Moreover, he had never heard that Yan Qingqing had a third eye in the past!

"The Zhixing people think so highly of Yan Qingqing?"

A thought flashed through Lin Qing's mind: "So what... It's just an ordinary sixth-level eye at most. I will die anyway!"

The eyes of the three-eyed tribe are actually low-profile copyright functions. In addition to sensing high-level energy, they also come with another ability.

Compared to power, it is impossible to create star source stones, nor can it try to walk under the gods.

What’s the point of having an additional sixth-level ability at this time?
Although Yan Qingqing's priesthood, 'Star Slayer', is a primitive priesthood, it is just a regular priesthood and is not good at defense. In terms of defense, it is only slightly stronger than the average fourth-level Star Abyss, so it is difficult for him to escape at this time.

As long as he plans a little, he will have a chance to kill him!

"die."

Yan Qingqing stared at the rolling stars, and the vertical eye between her eyebrows suddenly burst out with a dark wave.

At the same time, the free energy in the void around her surged and condensed, turning into arc-shaped sharp edges that were dozens of meters long. Under the influence of the dark waves, these huge sharp edges suddenly condensed several times as if they were collapsing!
"Shhhhh!"

A series of dark sharp edges slashed towards the madly spinning stars in the air!
Yan Qingqing watched this scene, her eyes full of anticipation.

Even for a powerful skill, there is an upper limit to its strength, which is equivalent to raising a certain aspect by two levels.

She is good at attacking and rarely reveals her full strength. With the trump card of her eyes, maybe she can break the opponent's defensive skills?

however--

“Bang bang bang!!”

The condensed dark edges fiercely slashed at the rotating ball of light, smashing it to pieces instantly!
The ball of light only paused slightly, and continued to spin steadily towards her!

"The defense is so strong?"

Yan Qingqing couldn't help but be shocked and felt it was a little unbelievable.

Even if it is a magical skill, it shouldn't be so outrageous, right?

The utilization of energy is so strong that the bonus of the holy words can be ignored.

Lin Qing was actually much stronger than she expected!

"boom!"

The madly spinning stars rolled over with enormous power and hit Yan Qingqing head-on!
The Star Slayer had no ability in terms of domain, and Yan Qingqing's sixth energy level domain was completely crushed by Lin Qing. She seemed to understand that she couldn't escape, so she didn't even try to hide.

"Om..."

At this moment, Lin Qing only felt that the Spinning Star Skill had not yet really touched Yan Qingqing, when an invisible repulsive force came, which instantly slowed down the momentum of his impact.

The remaining small part of the power hit Yan Qingqing's body but did not hurt her. Instead, she used the force to retreat quickly!

In an instant, Lin Qing noticed that there was a light blue chain wrapped around Yan Qingqing's body, emitting a faint glow.

What the hell is this?
It actually blocked most of the impact force of the rotating star?
Lin Weiqing frowned slightly, and once again used the Spinning Star Divine Skill to crush him.

But the same situation happened again. The faint light emitted by the green chain carried an invisible repulsive force, making it extremely difficult for him to get close.

"It is definitely not a product of a first-level civilization..."

He was sure of that immediately.

Although Xuanxing's magical skill is not good at attacking, his gene optimization index is four times higher than that of the general level!
At least the defense must reach the threshold of the fifth level of Xingyuan to block the head-on collision of Xuanxing!
As for Yan Qingqing, a Star Slayer who was only good at attacking, even with the blessing of the holy text, it would be difficult for her to reach the fifth level of Star Abyss in terms of defense.

With the help of this chain, can I actually stop him?

Judging from the energy, this chain still uses the sixth level of energy, yet it has such amazing defense.

It is almost impossible for a first-level civilization to use energy to this extent!

"I want to see how many times you can block it?"

Lin Qing's eyes were cold as he continued to control the Spinning Star Skill to crush him.

"It's okay..." Yan Qingqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, that gentleman asked Grok to give me this treasure, otherwise I would be in real trouble this time..."

She didn't try to dodge, but just stood there and let Lin Qing bump into her again and again.

Although a lot of energy is needed to activate this treasure, it is still a lot compared to the horrific consumption of divine skills.

With her strength, she can activate this treasure for dozens of seconds.

How long can the magical skills last?

"We can't let him escape..."

Yan Qingqing immediately released her telekinesis and transmitted a message to the three nearby pirates.

The three space pirates were watching this scene in shock, secretly communicating with each other through telepathy.

"Captain, am I seeing things right... Is this Earthling Lin Qing using a magical skill?"

"It must be a divine skill, and it is a powerful divine skill that truly utilizes the sixth-level energy and priesthood abilities to the fullest extent!"

"This is crazy! How can a genius among the natives of Earth be able to master such a magical skill?"

"It seems that even a strong man like our Captain has only mastered a relatively simple divine skill, right?"

"What should we do? Captain, are we still going to catch him?"

"The Patroller Yan Qingqing sent me a telepathic message. She said that her magical skill would not last long, and she hoped that we would cooperate with her and not let Lin Qing escape. She only wanted Lin Qing to die, and she would reward us handsomely afterwards."

"The divine skill does consume a lot of energy, so should we cooperate with her?"

"Wait... this Lin Qing actually sent me a telepathic message, and he also asked me to cooperate with him and not let Yan Qingqing escape?"

"what?"

Telepathic transmission only takes a moment.

At this moment, the spinning star skill that Lin Qing displayed was like an unavoidable rolling ball, sticking closely to Yan Qingqing's body, rolling madly and crushing her.

The chains wrapped around Yan Qingqing's body emitted a faint light, continuously dissolving the impact of the Spinning Star Divine Skill.

"The divine skills are powerful, but I want to see how long you can last?"

Yan Qingqing sneered in her heart.

She stared at the madly spinning ball of light in front of her. Although she couldn't see Lin Qing inside the ball of light, she still begged with telekinesis: "Let me go! Lin Qing, I'm also an Earthling. You should know that I don't want to be your enemy at all. It's just because you killed the Zhixing people. The nanomachines in my body have recorded everything I saw. Although the signal is blocked and cannot be transmitted in real time, it can't be used as evidence, but the Zhixing people will definitely use it as a reference. I can't just sit back and watch."

She was acting, of course.

She didn't dare to appear too confident, otherwise Lin Qing might just choose to run away.

Although she didn't understand why Lin Qing wanted to kill her, she could clearly feel the undisguised murderous intent.

In fact, she was confident that she could escape, but being targeted by such a terrifying genius, she would be dead for sure as long as the other party passed the original-level priesthood trial.

and so……

Today, she must make Lin Qing die here no matter what!

"I'm starting to act again..."

Lin Qing sneered in his heart: "Don't you just want to wear me out? I want to see how long you can hold on."

Time passed by second by second.

The rolling stars still showed no sign of weakening and continued to crush Yan Qingqing, as if they were far from exhausted.

"what happened?"

Yan Qingqing was getting more and more anxious, and she couldn't believe it in her heart: "Isn't it said that the consumption of divine skills is exaggerated? How did he last so long? I can't hold on even with external objects..."

This treasure was obtained by Grok from the Secret Treasury of the Stars. It can dissolve 90% of attacks below the seventh level of the Star Abyss.

Although the consumption is not small, she can still hold on for a few dozen seconds.

"Could it be..."

A thought suddenly flashed through Yan Qingqing's mind: "Maybe this Lin Qing has already been to the Secret Vault of Stars? For a genius like him, the treasures given to him by the Secret Vault of Stars must be better. Maybe there is a treasure that allows him to use his magical skills for a long time?"

As soon as the thought came to her mind, she immediately thought of giving up.

If she continues like this, she might be exhausted to death by Lin Qing first before he kills her!
"escape!"

Suddenly, a dark edge appeared all over Yan Qingqing's body, almost turning her into a sharp blade. She turned around and flew towards the outside at high speed!
The scarlet vines that blocked her way were also cut apart one after another.

"Want to escape?"

Lin Qing immediately controlled the spinning star skill to chase closely and continue to crush him.

Yan Qingqing didn't try to hide, letting the treasure protect her. She just kept her head down and rushed out madly. At the same time, she did not forget to send a telepathic message to the three pirates: "I can't stay at the scene. He can't hold on any longer. I leave it to you."

The skinny space pirate seemed to laugh when he heard this: "Do you really think we are fools?"

However, he also knew that he could not stop the other party from escaping, and he felt sorry for the vines he had cultivated, so he immediately controlled a large number of scarlet vines to avoid the other party and Lin Qing.

If Lin Qing didn't use the flash, he wouldn't be very good at speed, and when he used the spinning star skill, the magic weapon that maintained the spinning star couldn't flash with him.

Even if you catch up, you can't kill the other party.

So, he gave up after chasing her for a short distance. In the blink of an eye, Yan Qingqing turned into a stream of light and disappeared into the horizon.

"Earthling genius."

The space pirate who looked like a thin man sent a telepathic message: "We have offended the wrong person. We give up this mission."

Lin Qing turned his head and took a look.

He was too lazy to say more and immediately controlled the Spinning Star to crash forward. However, a large number of blood-red vines extended over him, covering the sky and earth. Although they would be bounced away by the Spinning Star's magical skill, they did hinder him.

When the blood-red vines in front of them disappeared, the three pirates also disappeared without a trace.

Signal shielding recovery.

Lin Qing immediately sent a distress signal through the communicator to Speaker Yan in the space above the area.

The force field just now blocked the signal in this area, making it impossible to send a message for help.

Although they can log into the second cosmic network, primitive creatures cannot split their consciousness. Once they log into the Star Transmission Tower or the second cosmic network, they must log in with complete consciousness. How dare they log in during a battle?

That is to say, stellar creatures can retain part of their consciousness in the real body, and part of their consciousness enter the second cosmic network.

——This is also the reason why star creatures can take over other people’s bodies.

Just two or three seconds later.

"call!"

A stream of light at a terrifying speed flew down from the space above and stopped in front of him.

It was Speaker Yan.

"Three pirates attacked, the other two quasi-star patrollers died, and Yan Qingqing escaped." Lin Qing immediately transmitted the message through telepathy.

Chairman Yan glanced at him and without saying much, released a surge of mental power.

As a stellar creature, the range of its telekinesis is thousands of kilometers.

But he scanned with his mind and found nothing.

For a space pirate of this strength to sneak into the earth, he must have some sacred text like "Hide from the World" to hide himself. Even the telekinesis of the stellar creatures cannot find it.

Only planetary rejection equipment is easier to search for.

"Two or three seconds is enough time to escape if you are prepared in advance."

Chairman Yan shook his head slightly, looked at Lin Qing, and said telepathically: "What is the real situation?"

Lin Qing knew that Chairman Yan and the three were planning this, so he did not hide it: "I took advantage of the signal blocking opportunity to kill the two Zhixing people, and wanted to kill Yan Qingqing, but she escaped."

"what?"

Chairman Yan couldn't help but look at Lin Qing, "I have carefully checked the members of your group. The two Zhixing people are close to the fourth level of Xingyuan, and Yan Qingqing only passed the fifth level of Xingyuan last year. Can you kill them? Could it be that you have already..."

"Yes." Lin Qing nodded, "I have mastered the magic skill, but it is a defensive magic skill, not good at attacking. In addition, Yan Qingqing hid very well and had two unexpected trump cards, so I still couldn't kill her."

Chairman Yan fell silent.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly frowned and said in a voice transmission: "Not good! You didn't kill Yan Qingqing, so doesn't that mean she knows that you have mastered the magic skill?"

"Sure." Lin Qing nodded. "She should have used the nanomachines in her body to record everything she saw. When she presents it to the top management of Zhixing Group, they will definitely be able to confirm that I have mastered the magical skill."

Although this kind of non-real-time video and sound records cannot be used as evidence - after all, it is too easy to forge at the current level - the Zhixing Group will definitely believe it.

It's just that there is no solid evidence, so we can't deal with him using the obvious rules.

"big trouble."

Chairman Yan frowned tightly, "How long have you been practicing your divine skills? Less than a year? You have mastered divine skills in such a short time. Once extraterrestrial civilizations know about your terrifying genius, they will definitely find a way to eliminate you in advance!"

He couldn't help but say, "You should be like Master Qi, hiding quietly and not exposing yourself."

Lin Weiwei shook her head slightly and said, "It was Dean Chu who asked me to expose myself."

"President Chu?" Speaker Yan was slightly startled.

If there is anyone on the entire earth whom he most cannot understand and respects the most, it must be Chu Hongjun.

In front of Chu Hongjun, he seemed to have no secrets.

"It seems to be Dean Chu's plan..."

Chairman Yan shook his head slightly and said, "In short, you still have to be careful. You have mastered a powerful skill in such a short time... It's hard to imagine that a genius like you, the Zhixing people will not let you grow."

"I understand." Lin nodded.

Therefore, before he took action, he deliberately hid the Black Flame clone, and some important items were also with the Black Flame clone.

——For example, the Origin Level Identity Test Card, or the Star Origin Stone...

Even if the original body dies, it can be resurrected through the black flame clone.

of course.

This is the worst possible outcome.

Once he comes back to life, the Zhixing people will also discover that he has the ability to resurrect.

Although the ability to transfer consciousness and resurrect does exist, it mostly has many limitations.

It is better not to expose this kind of trump card as much as possible.

"But you don't have to worry too much."

Chairman Yan sent a telepathic message, "The creatures from the stars of the extraterrestrial civilization are all afraid of the three of Master Qi. They all want to get the treasures of Earth in the future. Anyone who dares to try it out personally will risk his life. They all grew up on Earth, and don't have much sense of belonging to their hometown far away in the starry sky. They won't be willing to sacrifice themselves unless they have no choice."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "If it is a creature below the stars, I am not afraid, unless a primitive priest with divine skills comes."

"How is that possible?"

Chairman Yan laughed dumbly. "Most first-level civilizations can't even find a genius who can master divine skills. Although the Yuanchen civilization of the Zhixing people is powerful, it is possible for the top masters to master divine skills, but there may not be such a genius."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

"It's too difficult to practice divine skills."

Chairman Yan shook his head. "I have also practiced divine skills. It is already difficult to understand the essence of various powers. It is also difficult to integrate the essence of different powers into a whole and form a divine skill just right... I have no idea."

He couldn't help but look at Lin Qing. "How did you manage to master it in such a short time? How did you achieve the last step?"

"Just luck." Lin Qing shook his head.

"Epiphany is indeed luck, but both Master Qi and Dean Chu have said that luck is also a part of strength."

Chairman Yan sighed, "This is not just comforting words, but real luck. According to the information of cosmic civilization, luck is the preference of the universe for you. This is also very important."

"Luck is the universe's preference?" Lin Qingwei was slightly stunned.

He suddenly understood that the test in Ruins No. 5, the Silver Labyrinth, was probably to select those with good luck...

No wonder Qi Lingxiao was able to pass...

"Let's not talk about it anymore. The situation is not safe. You should go back to the Star Patrol Council first." Speaker Yan said.

Lin nodded lightly.

……

After returning to the headquarters of the Metropolitan Star Patrol Council, Lin Qing had just returned to his personal residence when he received a telepathic message from Irenato:

"Come to Dusk Paradise, Dean Chu wants to talk to you."

Before the Star Patrol Council was notified, Lin Qing's consciousness entered the Dusk Paradise under the guidance of Irenado's telekinetic waves.

Inside the cabin of Dusk Paradise.

"...That's probably it."

After Lin Qing finished explaining what happened during the operation, he looked at Chu Hongjun and said, "Dean Chu, can a vassal of the Zhixing people like Yan Qingqing also get the eyes of the Three-Eyed Clan?"

"Impossible." Chu Hongjun pushed his glasses down and asked, "What level of talent do you think Yan Qingqing's eye has?"

"It's definitely not the sixth level."

Lin Qing said: "After she used that eye, her attack power increased several times. If it was the sixth energy level, the improvement to her should be negligible."

"At least the seventh or eighth energy level." Chu Hongjun glanced at Irenado next to him, "Among the Zhixing people, only a few can get this level of three-eyed eyes, right?"

"Yes." Irena nodded. "It is impossible for the Zhixing people to give such a talent to Yan Qingqing."

"And the chain-shaped treasure you mentioned."

Chu Hongjun said: "I have seen it in the Secret Vault of Stars. It should be a sixth-level 'Force Lock' used for self-defense. It can neutralize 90% of attacks below the seventh level. This is a creation beyond the first-level civilization. It is likely to come from the Secret Vault of Stars."

He pondered for a moment and said, "But to enter the Secret Treasury of the Stars, one must have passed the fourth level of the Star Abyss within 380 days of transformation. Yan Qingqing is far from meeting this requirement. Her treasure should have been obtained from someone else... Judging from the time, perhaps it was Grok?"

Lin Qing remembered that Irenado had also told him this.

Grok, one of the top three families, the Rodris family, is now the person in charge behind the scenes.

"But Grok is just mediocre."

Chu Hongjun said slowly: "His rise was too abrupt and contrary to common sense. I previously speculated that Zhixing Group and Grok had a secret deal, but now it seems... there may be another reason."

"Is there another reason?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

"For example... there is a person behind Yan Qingqing that even the Zhixing Group dares not disrespect." Chu Hongjun said: "This can also explain the origin of Yan Qingqing's eyes."

Irena thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Yan Qingqing got it from the Three-Eyed Tribe who escaped from the control of the Zhixing people, just like me?"

"The likelihood is low."

Chu Hongjun glanced at her and said, "First, the Three-Eyed Clan is so weak that it is almost impossible for them to escape the control of the Zhixing people. Second... since Yan Qingqing is sure that she can escape, she dares to expose her third eye, which means that she is not worried about being known by the Zhixing people. Then it is natural that the Zhixing Group is willing to hand it over to her."

"An existence that the Zhixing Group must also respect?" Lin Qing said, "If there is such an existence, why would it have anything to do with vassals like Grok and Yan Qingqing?"

"I'm not sure, but Grok and Yan Qingqing should have had some common experience."

Chu Hongjun was silent for a moment, then said, "However, I have told you before... After studying and analyzing the previous civilization, I found that many things on Earth are different from what we see. The real crisis on Earth is not the Zhixing Group."

"What is that?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

Chu Hongjun did not answer him. He just walked silently to the floor-to-ceiling window of the cabin and stared at the endless sky above the dusk without saying a word.
