The Spark of War 3

"Look up!"

A violent shout rang out...

The Kekumeng Race woman tilted her head to look upward, only to see four figures closing in from the north, south, east, and west, with several telekinetic weapons piercing through the air toward her.

"Who on earth are you people?" the Kekumeng Race woman cried out, her body instantly flickering into a streak of cyan light as she dodged the incoming telekinetic weapons at high speed.

She glanced back at the several telekinetic weapons trailing closely behind her, cursing inwardly, "Damn it!"

"Run!"

"Just slit your own throat!"

The voices from above continued, their tones dripping with arrogance.

Suddenly, a biting cold wind whipped up the white mist, and frost crystals began to fall in abundance from the sky.

"Your name is An Changyan, right?"

"Someone paid a high price to ensure your safety."

The one who spoke was Chen Beixun, and from his back, scarlet vines extended, intertwining to form a massive hand roughly eight meters long.

That hand suddenly surged in size thousands of times over, descending like the Five-Finger Mountain to suppress everything beneath it.

"Run!"

"A Domain Lord-level plant lifeform!"

The four of them were struck with terror, desperate to flee.

A suction force suddenly erupted from the palm of the hand composed of Demon Island Vine, pulling the four fleeing individuals back toward it.

"No!"

"What kind of plant lifeform is this! How could it have this... Ah!"

"It's devouring me!"

"Listen to me, it's a misunderstanding!"

They wailed, offering desperate explanations.

At this stage, the devouring power of the Demon Island Vine was truly formidable!

Within moments, the four of them fell silent.

Boom! Boom!

The five fingers of the massive hand slammed into the black earth, shaking the very mountains and ground.

A gale kicked up, buffeting An Changyan, who first glanced at Chen Beixun and then toward the Demon Island Vine.

"Demon Island Vine?" An Changyan stared at the scarlet hand in shock, sighing to himself, "This kind of plant lifeform is very difficult for ordinary Immortals to obtain."

"This guy!"

"Is it luck? Or is he a scion of an Immortal family?"

"No, judging by that person's words, he shouldn't be a scion of an Immortal family."

Whether it was the cost of cultivation or the market price, the Demon Island Vine was never cheap; back when he was transitioning from the Planetary level to the Stellar level, Chen Beixun had poured half of his wealth into it.

Outside the hand formed by the Demon Island Vine, Chen Beixun sighed to himself, "I didn't want to get involved in this mess."

"But I had no choice! They paid too much!"

"Two whole Hunyuan!"

Two Hunyuan was enough to rival the total net worth of some World Lords.

"Demon Island Vine, it's time to go." Chen Beixun stared intently at the hand formed by the Demon Island Vine.

"Master, it's still a bit difficult to absorb!"

"The armor on these guys is too hard!"

"Hold on a second."

Hearing the Demon Island Vine say this, Chen Beixun frowned, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes, "Metal above D9 grade?"

"This... ordinary Universe-level beings can't afford this."

He felt as though he had poked a hornet's nest and cursed his bad luck.

"If I'm wanted, and they bring D-grade weapons to deal with me."

"Wouldn't that be a massive headache!"

"The Demon Island Vine will definitely be exposed after this battle; I won't be able to keep a low profile anymore."

Chen Beixun hovered in the air and transmitted his voice, "An Changyan, where are your two guards?"

An Changyan was somewhat annoyed by Chen Beixun's use of his full name, but out of politeness, he replied, "Can you come with me!"

"I am a man of my word. One thing at a time; I get paid to do one job, so I do one job... therefore... you'll have to pay more!" Chen Beixun responded, his attitude extremely firm.

"Hiss, hiss..."

An Changyan took a breath and transmitted his voice: "I'll pay more!"

"Please lead the way, Your Highness!" Chen Beixun said.

An Changyan: "..."

Chen Beixun retracted the Demon Island Vine, flew before An Changyan, and nodded.

"Follow me!" An Changyan frowned and said.

The two turned into streaks of light, charging toward the sky.

Chen Beixun stepped on the Gold Cloud Shuttle, following behind An Changyan, who was treading upon a black, disc-like psychokinetic flight device.

Shadow Void Disk? Chen Beixun was startled. He had heard of this item years ago; although it was only through verbal descriptions, he had yearned for it and kept it in his mind ever since.

"Your Highness is using a Shadow Void Disk, aren't you?" Chen Beixun asked via voice transmission.

An Changyan glanced back at Chen Beixun, thinking to himself, He certainly knows his goods.

"Yes," An Changyan replied.

Chen Beixun could not help but be moved; if he could, he would have liked to finish An Changyan off right then and there.

People are born with a few pursuits, be it fame or works of art, whether great or small.

"A Shadow Void Disk—you could try your luck at a primary Void Universe auction."

"Or you could go to a secondary auction; the odds would be higher there."

Qishan said indifferently.

Chen Beixun reined in his thoughts and communicated with Qishan using his consciousness: "How much does a Shadow Void Disk usually go for?"

"It is uncertain."

"If there is competition, it is possible for it to reach over 3 Hunyuan!"

Chen Beixun grunted in response upon hearing this, then focused his attention on staying alert.

Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended.

The terror of this might was clearly felt by the two even from a distance.

"A battle at the Domain Lord level!" Chen Beixun was shocked, his gaze toward An Changyan tinged with a hint of anger.

At this moment, he could also feel ripples emanating from space.

Chen Beixun had already grasped a sliver of the Laws of Space and understood their value, which made him realize that the two parties fighting were definitely formidable characters.

As the two drew closer, they began to feel a sense of suffocation.

It was as if a massive boulder were pressing down upon their bodies.

"Laws of Earth?" Chen Beixun frowned. "Both sides are Domain Lord-level experts who have comprehended the Laws of Earth."

"Their comprehension of the Laws of Space is streets ahead of mine!"

Madwoman. He felt a bit of regret for agreeing, and the thought of fleeing began to sprout in his mind.

But now, the arrow was on the string; he had no choice but to fire.

Above a crater, two figures were locked in a standoff.

"What is your name?" Pavadode glared with wide eyes at the man in red armor facing him.

The man said nothing, gripping a long blade in his hand, his body slightly hunched as he prepared to strike.

Pavadode held his staff with both hands, assuming a defensive stance.

After several exchanges, Pavadode knew deep down that he was no match for his opponent.

Bang!

The man kicked off the air with both legs and shot forward, leaving a phantom image in his wake.

Pavadode held his staff horizontally, blocking the man's vertical slash.

Boom-boom!

A shockwave erupted, expanding outward in a circle and kicking up black sand and soil.

From a distance, it looked like a black sphere gradually growing in size.

"Troublesome!" Chen Beixun stopped his advance.

Seeing Chen Beixun stop, An Changyan halted as well.

The battle within the black sphere continued.

Pavadode switched from defense to offense, swinging his staff to strike fiercely at the man—Ben Jiangming.

A black shield appeared out of thin air in Ben Jiangming's right hand, blocking the attack.

Pavadode was, after all, a ruthless character who had won a thousand consecutive matches in the Giant Axe Martial Arena, and he faintly held the upper hand.

However, Ben Jiangming's comprehension of the Laws was a cut above, and he soon suppressed him in return.

Pavadode was rich in combat experience, barely managing to parry the attacks.

Bang!

Suddenly, a scarlet vine lashed out, its speed so great that the two of them couldn't react in time.

Both were sent flying backward!

"You?!" An Changyan's body trembled slightly, her eyes filled with astonishment.

She never expected Chen Beixun to act like this.

"Faster! Be faster!" Chen Beixun commanded the Demon Island Vine.

The Demon Island Vine unleashed its full firepower, 231 long vines whipping toward Ben Jiangming, giving him absolutely no chance to catch his breath.

The 231 vines converged violently, strangling him before devouring him whole!

Had Ben Jiangming noticed Chen Beixun's arrival?

He had; at that moment, he was locked in close-quarters combat with Pavadode. It was just that Ben Jiangming hadn't expected Chen Beixun to attack both friend and foe alike! This caused him to fail to dodge the strike.

"Damn it!" Pavadode spat out a mouthful of blood and groaned in pain, "You're ruthless as hell!"

"Fighting that guy didn't even leave me with any real injuries."

"But this hit of yours is going to cost me my life!"

Chen Beixun dared not say a word.
