Swallowing the Stars: The Wind Sword Master.

Chapter 93 The Appearance of the Relics

Ning Ze completely ignored the Third Speaker, which drew the attention of everyone present. They watched Ning Ze talk to Hong and Lei Shen with great curiosity and also observed the Third Speaker's behavior with amusement.

Mohanderson's eyes flashed with fury, but with Hong and Thor in front of him, he certainly couldn't make a move. However, since a newcomer dared to treat him like this, he was determined to teach this kid a lesson about what it meant to be a senior!

"What kind of treasure does Ning have?" Thor asked with great interest.

Jia Yi and some other councilors with whom he had a good relationship also spoke up.

Ning Ze was getting annoyed by the noise. "Alright, I've told you everything."

"...The wooden crystal that Luo Feng has is still warm. If you'd like, you can wait here with me."

Ning Ze's expression was somewhat helpless. Mu Ya Jing did have some effect on his cultivation, although the improvement was not significant. But who would complain about cultivating too fast?

"Wait! Of course we'll wait!"

Thor immediately nodded with great interest. According to Hong's analysis, this person had the heart of a child. Now that he had discovered the treasure, he simply wanted it. He acted somewhat selfishly, or to put it bluntly, shameless.

Hong was somewhat amused and exasperated. "You really did catch me, it's just... 'It's just that you were exposed too quickly, otherwise we could have made a fortune.'"

Luo Feng frowned slightly. He had a vague feeling that there was something underground. He observed the expressions of Lei Shen and Hong, but neither of them seemed to have this feeling.

"What is it? It was the same last time."

"Could it be an opportunity like the one at Ruins No. 9?"

He wasn't sure, but he still wanted to go and see.

Inside a mysterious spaceship 5000 meters underground.

Babata was extremely excited. "Luo Feng really came! That's wonderful!"

"Ning Ze, you bastard, let's see how you try to ambush me this time!"

It wanted to throw Mu Yajing away quickly and then find an opportunity to lure Luo Feng over, but it stopped as soon as it made a move. "No, I can't be so stingy. That bastard Ning Ze has very sharp senses. If I release it little by little, he'll definitely snatch it first. How can I give it all to him? If others can't get it, I can't just lure Luo Feng down directly. First, I have to lure that bastard Ning Ze away. Then I'll get the others busy and gradually bring Luo Feng over."

Babata's expression turned grim, because a single native had undoubtedly increased his consumption even further. Originally, he only needed to throw out a few or a few dozen, but now he would have to throw out at least a hundred.

"Forget it, we can deal with this bastard later. He even wasted some of the Purple Jade Star Grass. We still have to be willing to part with this Wood Seed Crystal."

Babata kept using the word "bastard," which shows how much he hated and feared Ning Ze.

Kirishima.

Some staff members were setting up various instruments around the island, and powerful figures from all sides were discussing what had happened. However, Ning Ze remained tight-lipped, and they had no way of knowing.

However, it was precisely this attitude that kept everyone from leaving, as they suspected there must be some kind of treasure here.

"You're getting married?" Ning Ze was slightly surprised, then nodded knowingly. "That Xu family girl is quite nice. I heard from her brother that she's been depressed all year, probably because she's thinking about you."

"I want to get married after I take over as inspector." Luo Feng's joy was written all over his face. He had achieved great success as inspector, and it was time to bring his beloved girl home.

Just as Ning Ze was about to say something, he suddenly sensed dozens of Wood Sprout Crystals appearing without any concealment. He, a mountain god, charged directly towards the bottom of the lake, simply telling Hong and Lei Shen, "Grab them!"

Even though Hong and Lei Shen didn't sense anything, they had no doubt about Ning Ze's words and issued an order to rush towards the lake.

Seeing the powerful figures from the Limit Martial Arts Academy and the Thunder Martial Arts Academy suddenly erupt, the group of planetary-level members were stunned, and then rushed towards the lake without hesitation.

In an instant, the lake surface completely exploded, as if dumplings were being dropped into a pot, with hundreds of figures of different colors rushing towards the ground.

After advancing for a while, one of the powerful individuals smelled an extremely rich aroma of rice, and at the same time, his body felt restless. This was clearly a sign of treasure!

A white war god landed right where Ning Ze was, and he watched as Ning Ze pocketed the three transparent white crystals. In that instant, he clearly saw what the white crystals looked like, and his face lit up with joy. He shouted, "They're Wood Seed Crystals! Those transparent white crystals are Wood Seed Crystals!"

A powerful sonic wave rippled through the lake, and the sound traveled rapidly along the water's flow, reaching everyone who entered the lakebed.

Those who know will understand, and even those who don't know what Muya Crystal is will know that the white crystal is a treasure!

After shouting, the white war god turned and ran, looking at Ning Ze with great fear. The reason he did this was to deliberately make everyone fight over it, so that it would be easier to fish in troubled waters. Otherwise, who could compete with Hong and Lei Shen?

Ning Ze's eyes showed some impatience. He was prepared for all the forces on Earth to compete with him for the Wood Crystal, but for a War God to act like this in front of him was a provocation, wasn't it?

Ning Ze remained silent. He glanced indifferently at the fleeing war god, a silver-white longsword gleaming in each of his eyes.

"what!"

The white warrior screamed as he fled, his body, which had been moving forward, stopped in place. He twisted and struggled constantly. At this moment, he experienced an unprecedented torture, a terrifying pain that affected his soul. The pain caused him to lose control of his body, and he could only instinctively clutch his head, but the pain did not get any relief.

A second, or ten seconds, or even a year—the pain vanished, his face ashen, as white as a sheet. A mere second had left him with the lingering agony of ten. He regained his senses, feeling utterly weak. He struggled to swim upwards, knowing he would faint if he didn't run. If he lost consciousness at the bottom of the lake, death would be imminent.

"Get out of my way! Ador, you dare to stop me!"

A layer of ice crystals condensed on both fists as he delivered a powerful blow to a black man in front of him, who could only dodge with all his might and dared not fight back.

"Third Speaker, there are two of us! I advise you not to waste your time here!"

Yado offered his advice, his eyes filled with apprehension. The Third Speaker's strength was indeed formidable; Depa had been nearly seriously injured by a single blow, only managing to retain his fighting ability thanks to the Black God Armor.

"snort!"

"So what if you two? These two Wood Crystals are mine!"

Mohanderson wouldn't listen to their nonsense. There were indeed quite a few Muya Crystals here, but the ones that were discovered were all being fought over. His departure was just moving from one battlefield to another.

"die!"

Yado's expression changed drastically as he looked at the nearly frozen seawater within a hundred meters around him. Clearly, the Ice Emperor was serious. "Depa! Watch out!"

"I know!" The other black man was terrified. He had only taken a hit and was slightly injured, but this terrifying attack would definitely seriously injure him!

Just then, a white figure flew towards them at an alarming speed, heading straight for the location of the two wooden crystals.

Merhandson flew into a rage and roared, "Get out!" Then he unleashed the attack he had just gathered toward the white figure, with endless ice shards shooting out like countless arrows.

No matter how fast it is, how can it be faster than an attack of elemental power?

At that moment, Mohanderson saw the person clearly. He recognized that handsome face. Just now, the person had dared to disrespect him. The genetic energy within him surged even more, and the strength in his hand increased again.

Suddenly, countless white, icy streaks seemed to freeze, and a transparent scratch appeared in the middle of the icicles. An invisible blade slashed towards Merhandson, and it was only because the speed of the sword light was too fast that the icicles appeared to be still.

Mohanderson was shocked. So fast? He dared not underestimate them. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and quickly channeled his inner energy for defense. At the same time, he circulated his internal ice and snow power in a strange way to defend himself. This method originated from the Whirlwind Force, a power-based defensive technique he created himself. Due to the different attributes, it only provided three times the defense.

"Sizzle!"

Like the sound of melting ice and snow, Merhandson's icy power was shattered without resistance. The invisible blade continued to slash at him, making a tooth-grinding sound when it hit his combat suit. Then he felt a sharp pain in his chest and arms, as if his arms were broken, and even breathing became difficult.

"Ugh!" After suffering such a heavy blow, Merhandson couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were filled with fear, and when he looked up, all he could see was a white figure.

He was enveloped in a transparent sphere, the water did not affect his speed at all, his training suit swayed gently, making it impossible to tell whether he was in water or in the wind, and he exuded a mysterious aura.

Mohanderson's eyes were filled with terror; at this moment, he even felt as if he were facing Hong!

Yado and Depa were completely stunned. In a split second, the Third Speaker had been severely injured! Who would believe that?

The Speaker ranks people according to their strength. Being third means he is the third strongest person on Earth, after Hong and Thor.

How could such a powerful expert be seriously injured by a single sword strike? If that sword had struck them, wouldn't they have been killed?

Yado stared in astonishment, and the thought of potentially dying from a single blow made him mutter, "So fast! So strong! Such incredible talent!"

Depa's expression was somewhat silent. He stared intently in the direction Ning Ze had left, and said in a low voice, "I felt that in the water, his speed was at least five times that of me!"

Yado didn't speak. He cautiously looked at Merhandson, whose arms were hanging limply, clearly broken. He was hunched over and carefully flying upwards, probably in pain in his chest as well.

He whispered, "Luckily, we wanted to snatch Mu Ya Jing earlier but didn't choose to fight, otherwise..."

Before the words were finished, Depa understood that if that person attacked them without holding back, they might die!

"Let's go in another direction, and if we see him, we'll avoid him."

Yado nodded with a wry smile and followed, flying in another direction.

Treasures are not easy to obtain.

Hong sent a message to the guards and inspectors who had come with him.

Jason the God of War was just killed. As we agreed before, if you feel you can't hold the line, you can hand it over to me. 60% of it is yours, and the rest is for the martial arts school.

Inspector Wang: Yes, Master!

Beast: Yes!

Iceberg: Yes!

Among the guards and inspectors, Ning Ze and Luo Feng remained silent. Both were very confident in their own strength and naturally did not want to share the treasure with others.

In truth, Hong's intention in saying that was never to have Ning Ze's Wood Crystal. Not only was it about strength, but Ning Ze had also discovered this place, so naturally he wouldn't compete with Ning Ze for it. It was Luo Feng who, on the other hand, remained silent, which surprised Hong.

The struggle continued. On this day, Ning Ze's strength became known to everyone. Not only the Third Speaker, but also more than thirty councilors had fought against Ning Ze or witnessed his strength.

Anyone who has fought against him.

Seriously injured!

Seriously injured!

Seriously injured!

There is only one outcome: regardless of which member of parliament or what attribute they belong to, they are all defeated with a single blow.

Many members of parliament remained silent. Some had been robbed more than once, and the overwhelming power made them afraid to resist.

A grand feast for Mu Ya Jing was drawing to a close, and Mu Ya Jing had not appeared for two hours since her last appearance.

Inside the underground spaceship, the instigator of this incident went into a frenzy!

"Damn it!"

"asshole!"

"I've already given you 200 Wood Crystals! What more do you want?"

"I'm begging you, I'm begging you, please? Let Luo Feng in! You piece of trash, you bumpkin!"

"Bullshit!"

"You bastard! Why are you stopping me?"

"I'm about to succeed!"

"Ah! Ah! Ah!"

"I'm so angry!"

"You're finished! The great demon Lord Babata will remember you!"

"You just wait!"

"ah!!!"

Babata vented its anger incoherently, and finally kept shouting, but its scarlet eyes were filled with pleading. It was truly defeated by this bastard!

Having obtained the treasure isn't enough; why are you stopping Luo Feng?

Is it wrong for it to give more?

In the virtual projection of the cabin.

Two figures, one in black and one in white, stood on opposite sides. In front of them was a strange, dust-covered, silver-white metal 'door', which resembled the door of a smart fighter jet and was currently half-closed.

Just now, Luo Feng had already arrived here and was about to go in when Ning Ze noticed him. He arrived at a wonderful speed of over 5000 meters per second, in less than three seconds.

The first thing he said upon arriving was, "There really is a ruin here!" Ning Ze's voice rose slightly, carrying a hint of pride, not expecting that he had waited so long, but his eyes were full of solemnity.

Hearing the voice and seeing the person blocking his way, Luo Feng immediately snapped out of his daze. "Brother Ning." He looked startled. "Wait, how did I get here?"

Ning Ze pondered for a moment before replying, "You were probably guided here."

"Guide us here?" Luo Feng's pupils suddenly contracted. He felt a wave of fear, realizing that he had almost unknowingly entered an unknown ruin!

"Yes!" Ning Ze said with certainty, "There is a life within this ruin! Or a program similar to life! Possessing a certain degree of intelligence."

"Life within ancient ruins?" Luo Feng was shocked. Throughout history, no life, or rather, life with will and intelligence, has ever been found in any of the ruins discovered by humankind.

Ning Ze analyzed, "A week ago, when you came out, I obtained the first Wood Sprout Crystal. Later, it created the Three-Headed Beast King, which everyone discovered. Coincidentally, the Wood Sprout Crystal can also rapidly increase the strength of monsters."

"Clearly, its goal is to create a powerful monster to lure people to this place, but that monster isn't me. I also sensed a strange, subtle guidance before, but I felt danger and ignored it. Now that feeling is gone, so in conclusion, its true target should be you."

"I think this is similar to the AI ​​in Ruins No. 9. You stayed inside for so long and your strength improved a lot. You must have triggered something. Then the ruins here received the signal. Maybe... there's a further opportunity inside, or maybe some kind of danger... The AI ​​here handles problems in a very human-like way. It probably tried to get rid of me because I was an obstacle to your arrival."

"It possesses complete intelligence, and it harbors malice! But it could also be due to some kind of circumstance... You'll have to consider that for yourself."
