Narrowly Escaping Danger
"What are you guys doing? I was just saying. It's not like I'm going to fight Railgun one-on-one. Do you think I'm that stupid?" Xu Qing was speechless.
Two of the three men grabbed him by the hands, and one by the shoulder—were they treating him like a criminal?
"Hahaha... You three are really something, why are you so nervous?" Babata was amused and burst into laughter.
Luo Feng and the other two awkwardly let go of each other's hands.
"What I mean is, how does the power of the Railgun compare to my arrows, for comparison?" Xu Qing explained helplessly.
"Understood, understood," Luo Feng and the others coughed lightly.
Xu Qing glanced at them sideways, sighed, and said, "Sigh, I'm really worried about your intelligence."
"Is this never going to end, Fourth Brother?" Luo Feng and the others glared.
"Watch out! Spaceship is approaching! Oh no, Xu Qing was right, it's Railgun!" Babata suddenly warned.
Boom!
Three beams of light descended upon the army of Three Axe Mountain, swallowing everything around them like black holes.
In an instant, thousands of people were blasted into dust.
Immediately afterwards, beams of light shot down from the sky, one of which went straight for Luo Feng.
"Brother-in-law, be careful!" Xu Qing pushed Luo Feng out of the way.
Call out!
The white beam of light missed its target and did not hit Luo Feng.
"Third brother, are you alright?" Hong and Thor were both startled; Luo Feng had almost been hit by the laser beam.
Xu Qing frowned and looked in the direction from which the laser beam came, directly beneath the suddenly appearing Spaceship.
The next second, the Azure Cloud Bow was drawn, and Xu Qing was about to retaliate.
"Xiao Qing, don't be impulsive, I'm fine," Luo Feng pulled him back. Although he was still shaken from almost being hit, he remained calm.
"Brother-in-law, that bastard is definitely after you," Xu Qing, somewhat annoyed.
"I know," Luo Feng took a deep breath, "But you can't reveal yourself now, it's too dangerous."
Xu Qing was very unhappy. "So, we're just going to leave it at that?"
"We can settle this score another time. Right now, the most important thing is to stay hidden. We'll talk about everything once we're safely back outside," Luo Feng said. Although he was also a little annoyed, he knew he couldn't act impulsively.
"Luo Feng is right, Xu Qing, you don't need to be so angry. Even if that laser beam hit Luo Feng, it wouldn't kill him. Don't forget he has the protective Mo Yun Vine," Babata added.
However, it was still quite surprised that Xu Qing was able to react in time and push Luo Feng away; that reaction speed was a bit frightening.
"Alright," Xu Qing put away the Azure Cloud Bow.
The battle lasted less than three minutes; those people grabbed what they wanted and retreated immediately without any hesitation.
"It's someone from Black Dragon Mountain, that Ninth Prince," Xu Qing and the others guessed who it was as they watched the Spaceship sail away.
Unexpectedly, the Ninth Prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire also brought Spaceship in.
No wonder he exchanged all three Railgun at once; he was preparing for this battle.
"It seems that what happened before caught his attention, which is why he's targeting the third brother this time," Hong thought to himself.
The Ninth Prince sent a thousand-strong army to pursue them, but they were all wiped out. That must have been the moment they attracted the enemy's attention.
That's why the attack was specifically targeted at Luo Feng.
"That ruthless bastard," Thor said angrily.
Although he knew the laser beam couldn't kill Luo Feng, he was still angry.
"If only I had killed him with one arrow back at Demon Moon Lake, that brat," Xu Qing said with some regret. He actually had many opportunities to kill the Ninth Prince.
"Alright, I'm fine now. Let's not dwell on these unhappy things anymore," Luo Feng said with a smile, trying to reassure everyone.
In reality, his murderous intent was also quite strong.
Having survived the sneak attack, the people of Three Axe Mountain became even more vigilant, until they left the Thunder World.
On Canglan Planet, inside that villa, figures flew out rapidly.
"All adventurers, assemble at the front! Runaways, kill! Those who disobey orders, kill!"
In mid-air, numerous Universe Level powerhouses and Domain Lord were already guarding the area; not even a mosquito could escape.
Xu Qing and his group followed the army from Three Axe Mountain Three Axe Mountain towards their encampment.
After the army arrived at their camp, one powerful figure after another arrived, taking away their respective troops and receiving the treasures.
As expected, Ming Yu also arrived.
"I'm relieved to see that all four of you are still here," Ming Yu laughed, then led them and several hundred others to his manor.
Inside the manor, Ming Yu looked at Xu Qing and the others, "So, what did you gain?"
"Yes, Lord Ming Yu, yes, I just happened to exchange it for a treasure," Luo Feng said.
"What treasure?" A glint of light flashed in Ming Yu's eyes as he looked at Luo Feng.
"Fifth-Order Force Weapon, the Space-Severing Blade," Luo Feng said, taking out a three-meter-long broadsword.
The broadsword hovered in the air, its surface engraved with intricate patterns, emanating intense spatial fluctuations that sent chills down one's spine.
"Hahaha, good, what a fine Space-Severing Blade!" Ming Yu stared intently at this fifth-tier Force Weapon.
This Sky -Space-Severing Blade ranks among the top thirty of all treasures, far more valuable than even the worst Fifth-Order Force Weapon.
Because the secret patterns on this knife are spatial Law Secret Patterns, containing the power of the Origin Law of Space.
"The Law Secret Patterns of space..." Although Ming Yu had not yet reached the point of comprehending the Origin Law, he knew very well how precious the Origin Law of Space were.
"Because of this knife, we were almost Railgun," Xu Qing complained.
Luo Feng and the others remained silent, waiting to see how Ming Yu would react.
Ming Yu suppressed the fervor in his eyes. He understood who the little brat Xu Qing was referring to was— the Ninth Prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.
That brat launched a sneak attack, killing one of his top generals and taking away the treasure.
However, even Ming Yu couldn't do anything about the Ninth Prince, since the prince had a maternal grandfather who was at the Peak World Lord.
"Ahem, this Space-Severing Blade is too valuable. My entire fortune isn't enough to exchange for it. Let me think..." Ming Yu clearly didn't take up Xu Qing's words.
Luo Feng and the others weren't surprised. Ming Yu wasn't stupid; how could he possibly make an enemy of the Ninth Prince over this?
"Tch, this cunning guy is such a coward. If it were me, even if I didn't dare to kill that brat, I would at least find a chance to secretly put him in a sack," Xu Qing muttered to himself.
"How about this, from today onwards, half of the nearly 100,000 inhabited planets under my command will belong to you," Ming Yu said after much consideration.
Luo Feng refused repeatedly, asking what he would do with so many inhabited planets.
If Ming Yu really gave it to him, he would likely die very quickly, even if he was only at the Star Level.
In the end, Ming Yu still demanded that Luo Feng forcibly accept one hundred life-bearing planets and then transfer two hundred billion Universe Coin to Luo Feng.
Universe Coin are made by cutting Universe Crystal; one cubic meter of Universe Crystal can yield one thousand Universe Coin.
They harvested 30 million cubic meters of Universe Crystal within the World-within-a-World, which is equivalent to 30 billion Universe Coin.
One Universe Coin is worth 3,300 Ganwu Coin.
It's fair to say that Xu Qing and his group are now truly wealthy.
With excitement, the four left Ming Yu's manor and went to the Universe Mercenary base to submit the items needed for the Apprentice Mercenary Assessment: the Wind Horn Stone and the horn of the Single-Horned Iron Rhino.
"Now, we are also Universe Trainee Mercenary," Xu Qing and the others felt a sense of novelty, as they had a new identity.
After retrieving their Spaceship from the docking port, Xu Qing and his group left Canglan Planet without lingering.
On the way back, Luo Feng distributed the Universe Coin he had received: 5 billion each for Hong and Thor, 20 billion for Xu Qing, and 20 billion Luo Feng himself.
Hong and Thor had no objections whatsoever; on the contrary, they felt they had been given too much, since they hadn't really done much throughout the entire process.
"Haha, I'm richer than ever again!" Xu Qing laughed.
"Tch, you think you're rich with this little bit of money? You're still a long way off," Babata said calmly.
The portion it secretly kept for itself amounted to 10 billion Universe Coin.
"Brother-in-law, what are you going to do with those treasures?" Xu Qing asked.
"We have no use for it if we keep it ourselves, so we can resell it," Luo Feng had already come up with a solution, which was the Universe Galaxy Bank.
Then, Luo Feng gave the remaining two sets of Lightning Secret Technique to Thor, saying, "Second Brother, all five sets of Lightning Secret Technique are here. Luckily, they were still there when I went to exchange them the second time."
"Okay," Thor said happily.
Then he went to the side to observe the five sets of Thunder Secret Technique.
"Ah!" Thor exclaimed in less than a minute, his eyes wide open.
"What's wrong, second brother? Did some secret technique release lightning and electrocute you?" Xu Qing teased.
Thor shook his head. "No, that wise old man is here! He even congratulated me on becoming World Lord Kabu's disciple."
Everyone quieted down. Such a good thing?
"I never thought the second brother would have such good luck," Xu Qing patted Thor on the shoulder.
Thor rolled his eyes. "What kind of bullshit luck is this? Can't you put it more nicely?"
"Congratulations," Hong and Luo Feng were both happy for him.
"Second brother, tell that old man to come out and say hello," Xu Qing said.
Thor tried, but the person ignored him, saying, "Lord Wu says he can't see you."
"Oh ho ho, what a wise old man with an eccentric temper," Xu Qing with some surprise, but decided to simply not see him.
Bailan Star.
More than half a year later, Xu Qing and his group returned here.
"Look, that's the Spaceship from the Universe Galaxy Bank. They've arrived," Luo Feng said with a smile.
On his way back, he contacted the Universe Galaxy Bank in the Virtual Universe, intending to hand over all fifty-odd treasures he had obtained in the World-within-a-World a Realm for auction.
Teacher Luo Feng's account is a five-star account, so he easily accomplished this task.
Outside the Spaceship hatch of the Universe Galaxy Bank, stood three bank employees: a Domain Lord and two Universe Level.
"Hello, these are our goods," Luo Feng said, handing a Space Ring to the leading Domain Lord.
A streak of Flowing Light shot out of the Spaceship and entered the Space Ring, then a voice announced, "Cargo confirmed."
"Sir, the transaction is successful. Thank you for your trust and support of our Universe Galaxy Bank," the leading Domain Lord bowed slightly, his expression natural, before returning to the Spaceship with two Universe Level and quickly departing.
"Is this the Universe Galaxy Bank? Even the staff at the Domain Lord level are like waiters," everyone exclaimed.
The Domain Lord, and even Universe Level, they had all met before were aloof and cold-faced in front of Star Level. They would never smile, let alone bow.
If I don't like you, hitting you would be the least of my worries.
"No wonder they've grown so big and strong, they deserve it," Xu Qing, quite satisfied with the service attitude of the Universe Galaxy Bank.
"Let's go, it's time to go back to Earth."
Ten days later, two Spaceship appeared in the sky above the Earth and flew towards the castle in Yangzhou City.
"Brother-in-law, I'll be going to the castle again tomorrow. Prepare a big meal for me," Xu Qing said before flying away.
Luo Feng and the others exchanged a smile. "Fourth Brother is indeed a good man, haha."
Back home, Xu Qing shouted, "Linlin, Ruoruo, your husband is home!"
"Why are you shouting so loudly? We can hear you," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo said, turning to look at him from their seats in the living room.
"Hehe, it's been so long, did you miss me?" Xu Qing kicked off his shoes, took off his gear, walked over, and squeezed between the two.
"We don't want to," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo said deliberately.
Xu Qing took off her sunglasses. "Don't want to? How dare you! I've been gone for so long, and you don't even miss me? Tell me, what are you planning? Are you trying to rebel?"
"That's right, we want to rebel, rebel against you," the two laughed, grabbing Xu Qing and giving him a good squeeze.
Xu Qing rolled around like a worm, "How dare you! See how I punish you!"
After playing around for a while, the three of them finally sat down quietly.
"Xiao Qing, why did you take so long this time?" Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo finally asked.
"You'd never guess how amazing my brother-in-law and I's experience was this time, it was like this and that..."
Xu Qing described it vividly, especially his feat of wiping out a thousand-strong Star Level legion with a single arrow.
As she spoke, Xu Qing stood up. "It's a pity it wasn't recorded, otherwise you could have seen my husband's heroic figure."
Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo couldn't help but laugh at his smug expression; he really hadn't changed at all.
"We see, we see, your legs are long enough. Sit down and we'll talk," the two men pulled him back down to sit.
Xu Qing glared at them, "What do you mean by 'long legs'? Are you even listening?"
"Don't worry, I heard you, my husband is amazing," Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo laughed.
"Well, it's just so-so. I was hoping to test my skills against that Railgun, but unfortunately I didn't get the chance," Xu Qing said, sitting up straight with pride practically written all over his face.
Seeing his adorable appearance, Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo were overjoyed and kissed him several times, satisfying his desire to show off.
"See this? These are Space Bracelet. We have many of these in our spoils. You can take them and use them too. There are also Space Ring and Space Belt. The Space Belt are a bit ugly, so I didn't take them. I just took a few Space Bracelet and Space Ring," Xu Qing said.
Then, in front of the two of them, he took out several bracelets and rings, all of which were for storage.
Qin Lin and Zhao Ruo became interested; such a thing really existed, it wasn't just something from a novel.
Xu Qing taught them how to use it, and the two quickly took a liking to it. It was much more convenient than carrying a backpack, and the space was quite large, with several cubic meters, enough to hold a lot of things.
