Age of Evolution

Chapter 546: 547: Five Ghosts (Third Update)



Xuan Jiang is here, and Aoxiang is here too. It’s indeed a narrow road for enemies.

Aoxiang abandoned Ni Ke the dwarf and came staggeringly in front of Lin Zhen. Then he said to the people around him, “You all see it clearly. This man is called Lin Zhen. He was driven out of the arena like a homeless dog, running out of options, and begging for a living everywhere. Lin Zhen, did you come here because you saw an opportunity to profit? Unfortunately, you met me again. Are you feeling extremely discouraged and unlucky now? Hahaha!”

People around burst into laughter. A Level 6 Martial Artist from the Star System asked, “Boss Aoxiang, is this Lin Zhen the one you talked about, who used tricks and self-detonation in the arena to plot against you? He doesn’t seem that impressive. Do you want me to teach him a lesson for you?”

“Humph! I was careless that time and was set up by this kid. But he won’t have such an opportunity again. Although his realm is not impressive, his strength is not to be underestimated. You just enjoy the show and see how I’m going to beat the drowning dog today!”

As Aoxiang spoke, his huge wings spread out, ready for action.

“Ni Ke, come over here.”

Lin Zhen called Ni Ke over and asked Chris, “Check Aoxiang’s Star Power?”

“Master, Aoxiang’s Star Power was 7,000 two years ago, and now it is 7,300.”

Lin Zhen nodded slightly, roughly as he estimated. Most of these old-fashioned Tier Nine Star System martial artists had a Star Power of over 6,000 or 7,000, but very few reached 10,000. Once reaching 10,000, they could be called a Great God.

A Star Power of 7,300 was certainly good, but it was not enough in front of today’s Lin Zhen.

With a raise of his hand, the Yin-Yang Spear appeared.

After forging with light-blue flames, the Yin-Yang Spear was promoted again, reaching the level of a Lower Grade Heavenly Tool.

As soon as the Spear was drawn, a black and white flowing stream encircled it, and a whirlwind blew up from the flat ground around it.

“Damn! A Heavenly Tool spear! You’ve upgraded to a cannon from a bird gun, kid. This spear is better than mine. Lin Zhen, this spear is mine now.”

Aoxiang’s eyes widened, and greed showed in his eyes. He shook the spear in his hand and rushed towards Lin Zhen.

He still remembered the last battle when he fought quickly, suppressed Lin Zhen with Star Power, and forced Lin Zhen to be unable to use any techniques. Today, he wanted to repeat his old tricks.

However, this time, Lin Zhen did not choose to defend with his Immoveable Like a Mountain technique.

His Absolute Power had already surpassed Aoxiang, so he did not need to defend relentlessly anymore.

Collapse!

Lin Zhen’s first move was his most powerful spear technique, the Eighth Move of the Nine Layer Spear River. With a single spear strike, space shattered!

“Dang~~!!”

A loud collision sound was deafening. After a melee with Lin Zhen, Aoxiang felt numbness in his hand, staggering back!

“This is impossible!”

His eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. Lin Zhen’s Absolute Power had actually surpassed him.

It had only been two years, and Lin Zhen had just upgraded from the Black Hole Early Stage to the Middle Stage. How could he possibly surpass him? Keep in mind, his Star Power value was as high as 7,300!

But whether he believed it or not, Lin Zhen was already swinging his spear and attacking. The spear shadows filled the sky, and his Domain power was formed!

“Zing zing zing zing~~!!”

After consecutive collisions, the Time Field suddenly appeared!

With an Absolute Power lower than Lin Zhen, Aoxiang couldn’t break Lin Zhen’s Time Field. After a 0.01-second stop, a huge hole appeared in Aoxiang’s throat!

Blood gushed out like a fountain. Aoxiang covered his throat and retreated, unwilling to believe that everything happening now was real.

“Aoxiang, thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west. Your era has passed. You were right about one thing, this time, you are not losing a billion Cosmic Crystals, but your life!”

Lin Zhen grabbed Aoxiang’s Space Ring. After grabbing it, he remembered that he didn’t have a Soul Lock. If there was a bank card inside, he would suffer a huge loss again.

When he opened it and looked inside, just as he expected, there was another bank card.

Aoxiang’s body fell to the ground, and Lin Zhen’s gaze swept over the people who followed Aoxiang.

These people were all at low realms, the highest being only Star System Level 7, and they were no match for him.

“You, hand over all your wealth, and your lives will be spared.”

The Domain power enveloped everyone, and the surrounding planets were suspended. As long as Lin Zhen activated the Tianhe Star Explosion, all these people would die.

As Aoxiang was stabbed to death by Lin Zhen with a single spear, there was no way those people who regarded Aoxiang as a god would dare to resist Lin Zhen. Only one person tried to act rashly, but Lin Zhen hit him with a Mental Shock, turning him into an idiot, and no one else dared to resist.

One by one, they transferred their wealth on the spot. No one dared to hide anything because they were all being monitored by intelligent lifeforms. Their passwords were all given, so they couldn’t hide anything even if they wanted to.

Twelve people, a total of more than 30 billion Cosmic Crystals were transferred.

“Not bad. It added some more funds to my Supreme Level Nine bank card.”

He received a large sum of money but did not find any Luminous Stones. These people had just arrived at Mount Sumeru and had not yet found Luminous Stones.

The Martial Artists surrounding them watched and pointed at Lin Zhen and others.

Others didn’t know about Lin Zhen’s and Aoxiang’s affairs, but in their eyes, Lin Zhen was undoubtedly a super expert who must be a hidden Tier Nine Star System martial artist and absolutely unapproachable.

Unintentionally, Lin Zhen had also become a strong one in the hearts of other martial artists.

Lin Zhen didn’t make it difficult for them, but let them go. It’s impossible to keep it a secret when there are so many people here watching, and killing them wouldn’t help.

Lin Zhen then came to Ni Ke’s side.

Ni Ke looked at Lin Zhen with a face full of admiration: “Lin Zhen, I think you are the number one genius in the whole universe. You even killed Ao Xiang. You should know that he was the leader of Xuan Jiang’s minions, and he was used to being arrogant. If you can kill him, you will eventually take care of Xuan Jiang and dominate the arena.”

“Stop flattering me. Show me your Luminous Stone.”

Ni Ke took out a small diamond-shaped stone from her space ring. It emitted a soft light like a pearl.

“It doesn’t seem to have much use, but since there are people buying it, it must be good stuff.”

Lin Zhen casually put the Luminous Stone into his Space Ring: “Let’s go and look for it.”

The dwarf immediately followed. Martial artists at the Star System Stage, Black Hole Stage, and even the Constant Star Stage nearby gave way, making the dwarf feel like he was riding on Lin Zhen’s coattails.

“Lin Zhen, let’s go up the mountain, but be careful. Since you killed Ao Xiang, Xuan Jiang won’t let it go.”

Lin Zhen glanced around. Many flying vehicles were parked here. Some martial artists’ vehicles were too large and didn’t have a Space Ring big enough, so they had to park outside.

“So many people have come.”

“Yes, and there are many experts among them. The Five Ghosts are the strongest, but you don’t have to worry. With my treasure hunting ability and your Spiritual Power, we will also find many Luminous Stones. As long as we find the intelligent life to exchange them with….”

“Wait, you said Five Ghosts, who are the Five Ghosts?” Lin Zhen’s heart moved, curious about the biggest winner in his previous life.

“Wow! You really don’t know about the Five Ghosts? You wasted your time in the arena. One of the Seven Evil Stars of the 68th District, the Five Ghosts, is a great god!”

“So he’s one of the Seven Evil Stars. Who are these Seven Evil Stars?”

“These seven people are all inheritors of the Evil Star legacy and super experts. They are Luo Gou, Ji Du, Po Jun, Five Ghosts, Seven Kills, Yue Bei, and Ying Huo. Each of them can be called invincible in the Star System stage. It is said that they have even teamed up to challenge a Star Domain stage fighter and succeeded!”

“Challenging the Star Domain stage together? They’re so strong?” Lin Zhen was also surprised, feeling like they were on a different level than him.

“They’re indeed strong, but I believe, Lin Zhen, that you’ll surpass them one day. Let’s go.”

********

“You said Ao Xiang is dead, and Lin Zhen killed him!”

In Mount Sumeru, Xuan Jiang was fighting a group of Warcraft when he heard the news and became furious.

He swung his sword and killed two attacking long-armed apes in succession.

These Long-armed Apes were as strong as ordinary Star System martial artists and could not be defeated by ordinary ones.

When they reached the depths of Mount Sumeru, there were not many ordinary martial artists left. This place was full of ape-like Warcraft, of unknown species, with each of them being formidable and fierce-tempered, so ordinary martial artists died before they could reach the deep parts.

So even though many people had come here, martial artists below the Black Hole stage seemed like cannon fodder.

Seeing the enraged Xuan Jiang, a martial artist with a green face and white eyes, without black pupils, glanced at him.

At that glance, Xuan Jiang couldn’t help but break out in cold sweat and immediately calmed down.

“Lord Five Ghosts.”

“What’s the matter with you losing your composure like this?”

“It’s like this. I sealed an attack on a martial artist in the arena before. The kid withdrew from the arena, but just now, he killed one of my men, Ao Xiang. You have also met him, the Tianying Clan martial artist who has followed me for hundreds of years.”

“Oh, I vaguely remember, he’s the one with wings. That kid had decent strength but was still killed. Who killed him?”

“A small fry named Lin Zhen, you definitely don’t know him.”

“That may not be the case.” The Five Ghosts blinked and continued, “I’ve heard Lin Zhen’s name twice. Once, the Mechanical World King asked Ying Huo to seal an attack on someone. You were the one who did it, right? That person must be Lin Zhen.”

“Ah… that’s right, it’s him!”

“The other time was a few days ago. The World King powerhouses all left. I heard from a friend that the son of the Mechanical World King, Ye Hua, came out of seclusion and said he would kill someone, and that was Lin Zhen.”

Xuan Jiang nodded, “That should be right, it’s him. He has a grudge against the father and son of the Mechanical World King, but he’s still alive after all this time. It’s a real miracle!”

Five Ghosts patted his shoulder, “Xuan Jiang, don’t be too emotional about everything. Ye Hua has come to Mount Sumeru this time, do you think he can kill Lin Zhen?”

Xuan Jiang thought for a moment, “Since Lin Zhen can kill Ao Xiang, I think his chances are not great.”

“That’s good. If Ye Hua can’t succeed, he will surely ask for help, and who do you think he will ask?”

“He’ll definitely ask us!” Xuan Jiang immediately replied.

“That’s right. He will come to us and naturally have to pay the price. At that time, we will take action and kill Lin Zhen, avenging your men, and getting some income. Why not do it? Besides, as long as you are alive, it doesn’t matter if your men die.”

Seeing the white eyes of the Five Ghosts, Xuan Jiang could not help but nod, “Lord Five Ghosts, you are right, I was impulsive.”

“Now that you know, let’s go and find the Luminous Stones quickly. That’s the key to coming here.”
