After Xie Nianqing and Xie Nianjun killed two giant metal wolves at the third level of the Void God Realm, they moved swiftly, their longswords flashing across the sky, and the two giant wolves at the second level of the Void God Realm that were fighting against Lu Ming and the others were also cut in two with a single stroke.
"This combat power...is it really that strong?"
Tong Xier looked at Xie Nianqing and Xie Nianjun with shock in her eyes.
Xie Nianqing and Xie Nianjun's cultivation levels were only at the first level of the Void God realm, which was comparable to hers. She originally thought that even if the two were strong, how much stronger could they be? But now she realized that she was very wrong.
She estimated that Xie Nianqing or Xie Nianjun's combat strength was probably enough to fight against a being at the fourth level of the Void God Realm.
He's only at the first level of the Void God Realm, yet he can fight against a fourth-level Void God Realm expert!
"Saint-grade divine power! They must have mastered saint-grade divine power!"
Tong Xi'er was amazed and also sighed. Lu Ming was already abnormal enough, but she didn't expect that the people around him were equally abnormal.
Lu Ming smiled. With Xie Nianqing and Xie Nianjun taking care of things, he was happy to have an easier time.
Afterwards, they extracted the cores of the four giant wolves, which were worth sixty divine crystals each, making them quite valuable.
After removing the beast core, they continued on their way.
There weren't any particularly strong wild beasts in this forest. They walked for a while without encountering any beings above the fourth level of the Void God Realm. The strongest they encountered was only at the third level of the Void God Realm. With Xie Nianqing and Xie Nianjun with them, he and Tong Xier had an easy time.
"Xiao Qing and Xie Nianjun's fighting skills are truly amazing!"
Even Lu Ming couldn't help but sigh inwardly along the way.
Lu Ming himself can be considered a natural combat genius with a very strong combat awareness, but he is still inferior to Xie Nianqing and Xie Nianjun.
The two fighters' combat skills were so exquisite that they could often defeat their enemies with minimal effort.
Even if their divine power was similar to the two of them, they probably wouldn't be a match for them.
Lu Ming guessed that this might be related to their experiences in their previous lives.
As time goes by,
Their gains were increasing, and they were about to earn back the thousand divine crystals they had rented from the starship; anything beyond that was pure profit.
While Lu Ming and his group were hunting wild beasts, some distance away from them, there was a cluster of peaks, on one of which a group of people had gathered.
These people all concealed their auras and were quite cautious.
The two burly men who had previously discovered Lu Ming and his group appeared on the mountain peak and reported to a bald, burly man.
"What? Tong Xi'er of the Zhengtian Army has come to Wan Jinxing?"
The bald, burly man's eyes were filled with a cold light.
"That's right, and they only sent four people!"
One of them answered.
"Four people? What are their cultivation levels?"
"I asked the bald, burly man."
"Tong Xi'er's cultivation level is still at the first level of the Void God Realm. There are also two other women whose cultivation level is also at the first level of the Void God Realm. And the other man has the strength to kill someone at the second level of the Void God Realm!"
One person bowed and reported.
"They're all at the first level of the Void God Realm. Good, good, good. This time, let's capture Tong Xi'er and offer her to the young master to play with. We'll also capture the other two women so we can enjoy ourselves. As for that man, just kill him!"
"Zhengtian Army, daring to oppose our Yuanluo Palace, will die sooner or later!"
The bald, burly man sneered repeatedly.
These people were from the Yuanluo Palace.
"The three of you are all at the third level of the Void God Realm. You are more than capable of dealing with Tong Xi'er and the others. Go and bring them here!"
The bald, burly man gave orders to three of the strong men dressed in black armor.
"yes!"
Three burly men in black armor clasped their hands in a fist salute.
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, the bald, burly man shouted, "To be absolutely sure, Old Xiao, you'll go with them!"
"Okay, that works too!"
An old man with a face full of wrinkles chuckled.
Although he felt that dealing with a few juniors and three Void God Realm Level 3 beings was more than enough, he himself was a Void God Realm Level 4 being.
However, the bald, burly man possessed the cultivation of the fifth level of the Void God Realm, making him the strongest among them, so it was difficult for him to refuse outright.
Old Man Xiao and the three burly men in black armor vanished in a flash, while the bald man's gaze turned toward a precipice ahead.
Below the cliff, there is a cave from which golden light occasionally bursts forth.
Near the cave, however, was a bird's nest, and inside the nest lay a giant metal eagle.
The bald, burly man's eyes burned with desire as he looked at the cave, but his expression turned serious when he saw the giant eagle.
"Treasure, treasure, I must have it!"
The greed in the bald man's eyes intensified.
They were from the Yuanluo Palace. Not long ago, a group of them came to Wanjin Star to hunt wild beasts and obtain their cores.
Two days ago, a few people from the Yuanluo Palace accidentally stumbled into the cave ahead and discovered a treasure: a metal sphere with spiritual power. Just as the people from the Yuanluo Palace were about to take the metal sphere away, the giant metal eagle appeared and killed several of them. Only one person managed to escape and report the news to him.
His heart immediately burned with excitement. A metal sphere with spiritual power must be a rare treasure. He immediately led his men here, but when he saw the giant metal eagle, he stopped.
Although he had the cultivation of the fifth level of the Void God Realm, that giant metal eagle had the cultivation of the seventh level of the Void God Realm. If they rushed up, they would definitely die.
So he led his men to guard this place, intending to enter the cave and retrieve the sentient metal sphere after the giant metal eagle left.
After that, I heard news about Tong Xier and Lu Ming.
Lu Ming and his companions were completely unaware of all of this.
They ventured deep into the mountains and forests, hunting wild beasts and reaping ever greater rewards.
Smiles appeared on their faces. At this rate, as long as they hunted on Wan Jin Xing for a period of time, each of them could easily earn around ten thousand divine crystals.
"who?"
As they were traveling through the mountains and forests, looking for wild beasts to hunt, Xie Nianjun's gaze suddenly turned in one direction.
Then, Lu Ming and Xie Nianqing also turned their gazes in that direction.
"Hehehe, little girl, you have quite a keen sense of perception!"
A cold laugh rang out, and then, figures flashed in that direction, and four figures appeared.
These four people were none other than Old Man Xiao from Yuanluo Palace, and three burly men in black armor.
"You...are from the Yuanluo Palace!"
Tong Xier's expression suddenly changed drastically.
"Hehehe, not bad!"
Old Xiao chuckled coldly, his narrow eyes sweeping over Tong Xi'er, Xie Nianqing, and Xie Nianjun. Especially when he looked at Xie Nianqing and Xie Nianjun, his eyes flashed with a burning flame.
"Tong Xi'er, Young Master Kang Long has his eye on you quite a bit. If we capture you and present you to him, he'll surely reward us handsomely, hehe!"
Old Man Xiao licked his lips, and a powerful aura emanated from his body.
"Fourth level of the Void God Realm!"
Tong Xier's pretty face turned pale.
