Five Ghosts (Third Update)

Lin Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly when she saw Ao Xiang.

Xuan Jiang arrived here, Ao Xiang also arrived here; what a small world!

Ao Xiang abandoned the dwarf Nicole and staggered over to Lin Zhen. He then said to Human Path around him, "You all see this clearly. This person is called Lin Zhen. Back in the arena, we practically drove him out, like a stray dog, with nowhere to go, begging for food everywhere. Lin Zhen, you came here because you saw an opportunity to pick up scraps, right? Too bad you ran into me. Are you feeling particularly frustrated and unlucky right now? Ahahaha!"

The surrounding crowd burst into laughter. A level six martial artist from a star system asked, "Boss Ao Xiang, is this Lin Zhen the one you mentioned who used a trick to Self-Detonation and ambush you in the arena? He doesn't look like much. Should I teach him a lesson for you?"

"Hmph! I miscalculated that time and got tricked by this kid. But he won't have another chance like that. Don't underestimate him just because his cultivation level isn't high. Just watch the show and see how I beat him when he's down!"

Ao Xiang spoke, his enormous wings unfurled, ready to make their move.

"Nicole, come this way."

Lin Zhen beckoned Nicole over and said to Chris, "Shall we check this Ao Xiang's Star Power?"

"Master, two years ago, Ao Xiang's Star Power was seven thousand, and now it is seven thousand three hundred."

Lin Zhen nodded slightly. It was about what he had estimated. These old-established Star System Level Nine generally had Star Power of six or seven thousand or more, but very few had a star power of over ten thousand. Once a star power of over ten thousand was reached, a star could be called a god.

Seven thousand three hundred Star Power is certainly good, but it's not enough for Lin Zhen today.

With a flick of his wrist, the Yin-Yang Long Spear appeared.

After being forged with light blue flames, the Yin-Yang Long Spear was upgraded once again, reaching the level of a low-grade celestial weapon.

As soon as the Long Spear was drawn, black and white air currents swirled around it, and a whirlwind swept across the surrounding flat ground.

"Holy crap! You actually have a Heavenly Long Spear! You've upgraded from a ragtag bunch, haven't you? This spear is even better than the one I used. Lin Zhen, this spear is mine."

Ao Xiang's eyes widened suddenly, then a greedy look appeared in them. He flicked his spear and charged at Lin Zhen.

He still remembered the last battle, where he fought quickly and suppressed Lin Zhen with his Star Power, preventing Lin Zhen from using any of his methods. Today, he wanted to repeat the same trick.

But this time, Lin Zhen did not Xuan Ze to Immovable as a Mountain defensive posture.

His absolute strength has surpassed that of Ao Xiang, so he no longer needs to focus solely on defense.

Collapse!

Lin Zhen's first move was his strongest Spear Art technique to date, the eighth move of the Nine Heavy Spears River. With one spear thrust, space shattered!

"Clang!!!"

The deafening crash was Ao Xiang. After Long Spear with Lin Zhen once, Ao Xiang felt his hand go numb and staggered backward!

"That's impossible!"

His eyes almost popped out of their sockets; Lin Zhen's absolute strength had actually surpassed his.

Only two years have passed, and Lin Zhen has only upgraded from the early stage of the Black Hole to the middle stage. How could he possibly surpass him? You must know that his Star Power value has reached 7,300!

But whether he believed it or not, Lin Zhen had already attacked with his Long Spear, the sky filled with spear shadows, and the power of his domain was formed!

"Clang clang clang clang~~!!"

After a series of collisions, Time Stop suddenly stopped!

If one's absolute strength is lower than Lin Zhen's, one cannot break Lin Zhen's time field. After a fraction of a second of stillness, a large hole appeared in Ao Xiang's throat!

Blood gushed out like a fountain. Ao Xiang clutched his throat and backed away, unwilling to believe that what he was seeing was real.

"Ao Xiang, fortunes change every thirty years. Your era is over. You're right about one thing: this time you didn't just lose a billion Cosmic Crystal, you lost your life!"

Lin Zhen grabbed Ao Xiang's Space Ring, but only after grabbing it did he realize that he hadn't Soul Lock. If there was a bank card inside, he would be at a huge loss.

Upon opening it, as expected, it was another bank card.

Ao Xiang's body fell to the ground, Lin Zhen's gaze swept over the people who had followed Ao Xiang.

These people are not at a high level; the highest level each of them is only level seven of the galaxy, which is not worth mentioning at all.

"You can save your lives by handing over all your wealth."

The power of the domain enveloped everyone, and planets floated around them. As long as Lin Zhen activated the Tianhe Star Burst, everyone would die.

Ao Xiang was stabbed to death by Lin Zhen. Those who regarded Ao Xiang as a god naturally dared not resist Lin Zhen. Only one person tried to make a move, but was turned into an idiot by Lin Zhen's Mental Impact. After that, no one dared to resist anymore.

The transfers were made on the spot, and no one dared to hide anything, because Intelligent Life was monitoring them. Once the passwords were given to others, there was no way to keep anything secret.

Twelve people received a total of over 30 billion Cosmic Crystal.

"Not bad, it added some more money to my Supreme Nine Star Bank Card."

They received a large sum of money, but they couldn't find the fluorite. These people had just arrived at Mount Sumeru and hadn't found the fluorite yet either.

A large circle of martial artists watched, pointing and whispering about Lin Zhen and his companions.

Others may not know about Lin Zhen and Ao Xiang, but in their eyes, Lin Zhen is undoubtedly a super expert, definitely a Star System Level Nine who has hidden his true strength, and is simply not someone to be trifled with.

Unbeknownst to him, Lin Zhen had also become a powerful figure in the eyes of other martial artists.

Lin Zhen didn't make things difficult for them, but let them leave. With so many people watching, killing them wouldn't keep it a secret.

Lin Zhen then came to Nicole's side.

Nicole looked at Lin Zhen with admiration. "Lin Zhen, I think you are the number one genius in the Entire Universe. You even killed Ao Xiang. You know, he was Xuan Jiang's lackey leader, and he was used to being arrogant and domineering. You can even kill him. Sooner or later, you will take care of Xuan Jiang and dominate the arena."

"Stop flattering me, show me your fluorite."

Nicole took out a small stone from her Space Ring. It emitted a soft light like a pearl, but its shape was rhomboid.

"It seems useless, but since there's someone buying it, it must be a good thing."

Lin Zhen casually put the fluorite into her Space Ring: "Let's go, let's go out and look for it."

The dwarf immediately followed, and many warriors of the Star System Stage, Black Hole Stage, and even Star Stage made way for him, which made the dwarf feel like he was riding on someone else's coattails.

"Lin Zhen, let's go up the mountain, but be careful. You killed Ao Xiang, Xuan Jiang won't let it go."

Lin Zhen glanced around and saw many flying vehicles parked there. Some of the martial artists' flying vehicles were quite large, but they didn't have enough Space Ring, so they had to park them outside.

"There are a lot of people here."

"Yes, and there are many experts, among whom the Five Ghosts are the strongest. But don't worry, with my treasure-hunting ability and your Mental Power, we will find a lot of fluorite. We just need to exchange it with that Intelligent Life form."

"Wait, you said Five Ghosts. Who are Five Ghosts?" Lin Zhen stirred. This person was the biggest winner in her previous life. Who exactly was he?

"Wow! You don't know the Five Ghosts? You've been wasting your time in the arena! The Five Ghosts, one of the Seven Great Fiends in District Sixty-Eight!"

"So he's one of the Seven Great Fiends. Who are these Seven Great Fiends?"

"These seven people are extraordinary. They are all super experts who inherited the legacy of the ominous stars. They are Rahu, Ketu, Army Breaker, Five Ghosts, Seven Killings, Yue Bei, and Ying Huo. Each of them is considered invincible in the Star System Stage. It is said that they once joined forces to challenge the Star Region Stage and succeeded!"

"Joining forces to challenge the Star Region Stage? That's that strong?" Lin Zhen was also surprised; they were really not on the same level as him.

"They are indeed very strong, but I believe that Lin Zhen, you will definitely surpass them one day. Let's go."

********

"You're saying Ao Xiang is dead, or that Lin Zhen killed him!"

Inside Mount Sumeru, Xuan Jiang was fighting a group of Magical Beast when he heard the news and was immediately enraged.

He brandished his sword and killed two attacking monkeys in succession.

These gibbons are as strong as ordinary Star System Stage, and ordinary martial artists are no match for them.

Once you reach the depths of Mount Sumeru, there are hardly any ordinary martial artists left, because the place is full of ape-like Magical Beast, of unknown species, each with formidable strength and ferocious nature. Ordinary martial artists would die before they could even get to the depths.

So don't be fooled by the large number of people here; martial artists below the Black Hole Stage are just there for show.

Seeing the enraged Xuan Jiang, a warrior with a bluish face and eyes that were entirely white with no pupils looked up at him.

Upon seeing this, Xuan Jiang broke out in a cold sweat and immediately calmed down.

"Lord Wu Gui."

"What happened to make you so upset?"

"Here's the thing, I once banned a martial artist in the arena, and that kid left the arena. But just now, he actually killed one of my subordinates, Ao Xiang, whom you've met before. He's the Sky Eagle Clan martial artist who has followed me for hundreds of years."

"Oh, I vaguely remember him. He was the one with wings. That kid was pretty strong, and he just died like that. Who killed him?"

"A nobody named Lin Zhen, you definitely don't know him."

But Five Ghosts blinked. "That's not necessarily true."

"I've heard the name Lin Zhen twice. Once was when the Mechanical Realm King asked Ying Huo to suppress someone. That was you, right? Was that person Lin Zhen?"

"Oh yes, that's him!"

"Another time was just a few days ago. After all the Realm Kings left, I heard from a friend that Ye Hua, the son of the Mechanical Realm King, had come out of seclusion and said that he was determined to kill one person, Lin Zhen."

Xuan Jiang nodded. "That should be right, it's him. He has a grudge against the Mechanical Realm King and his son, it's a miracle that he's still alive for so long."

Five Ghosts patted him on the shoulder. "Xuan Jiang, don't get too excited. Ye Hua has also come to Mount Sumeru this time. Do you think he's confident he can kill Lin Zhen?"

Xuan Jiang and said, "I don't think Lin Zhen has much of a chance of killing Ao Xiang."

"That's good. If Ye Hua fails, he'll definitely ask for help again. Guess who he'll ask?"

"They must be begging us!" Xuan Jiang immediately chimed in.

"That's right. He'll have to pay a price for coming to us. When the time comes, we'll take care of Lin Zhen, avenge your men, and make some money at the same time. Why not? Besides, it doesn't matter if your men die. As long as you're alive, that's enough."

Looking at the Five Ghosts ' white eyes, Xuan Jiang nodded unconsciously. "Lord Wu Gui, you are right. I was rash."

"Good to know. Let's go, hurry up and find the fluorite. That's the key to our being here."
