BXBX NOVEL Chapter 525 - 525 Ming
Night.
A boy and girl arrived on a mountaintop outside the city.
“The meteor shower is beginning. Hurry up.” The girl helped the boy up before running to the mountaintop.
!!
“Don’t worry. There’s still a minute,” the boy said.
“I don’t trust the forecasts. They said it would rain in a day, but it hasn’t rained all day,” the girl said as she looked up at the starry sky. Then, her eyes lit up. “The meteor shower is here. It’s here.”
The two of them looked up at the starry sky.
Dazzling and gorgeous meteors streaked across the sky. Soon, the sky was covered with large swaths of meteors as they streaked across the sky.
It was beautiful. Many people were entranced by the meteor shower.
The girl also watched in amazement. “It’s beautiful. This is my first time seeing a meteor shower.”
“Me too,” the boy said as he turned to look at the girl’s side profile. Then, he took out a pendant-like crystal lock and handed it to the girl.
“Huh?” The girl was stunned when she saw the pendant.
“It’s for you,” the boy said.
The girl blushed and said softly, “Do you know what it means to give this?”
“Of course.” The boy gazed straight at the girl.
Under the meteor shower, the two understood each other.
Suddenly—
Whoosh.
The two of them silently disintegrated and disappeared like a gust of wind. It wasn’t just them; countless humans on that planet disintegrated and disappeared.
And above the atmosphere of Silkworm Wanderer.
The two Hellion Origin lifeforms looked down at the entire planet without any emotion in their eyes. To the two of them, the extermination of a planet’s lifeforms just required a mere thought to collapse the most basic structure of all human lifeforms.
“Overlord Congfeng, this is the 1,000th human habitable planet I’ve destroyed.” A tall Hellion sent a telepathic message.
“Humans have countless habitable planets, and that’s all you have destroyed? Hurry up; you have 30 seconds before the mandatory withdrawal.” A black-armored Hellion replied telepathically before teleporting and disappearing, rapidly plundering.
The tall Hellion teleported and plundered as well.
The relatively valuable technological creations and precious materials on the entire habitable planet were quickly stored away. The Hellions were too weak at production, so they usually focused on plundering. They plundered whatever they lacked.
They had plundered their few neighboring species, and the human race—which was good at production and advanced technology—was what the Hellions coveted the most.
A few seconds later.
Huh? The two Hellions at different spots on Silkworm Wanderer looked up in unison.
A black-robed man appeared there. He stared at Silkworm Wanderer with a hint of sorrow.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two Hellions had already regrouped and appeared around Xu Jingming.
“Hellions deserve death.” A spear appeared in Xu Jingming’s hand, and a dazzling light erupted from his body.
“The aura erupted indicates a Lv. 9?” The black-armored Hellion scoffed. “I’ve killed two human Origin lifeforms, and you shall be the third.”
As his voice echoed, the two Hellion lifeforms emitted strange fluctuations. The space where the two of them were instantly folded.
Xu Jingming felt the world around him fold, but he watched everything calmly.
Pfft. Pfft.
The two sabers of the black-armored Hellion pierced through the folded space and into Xu Jingming’s body.
The other tall cosmic Origin lifeform descended with a flaming hammer and smashed into Xu Jingming, causing his body to distort like water.
Xu Jingming stood there motionless. When he was stabbed, he only reached out and grabbed the nearby black-armored Hellion. After all, for the two sabers to be capable of stabbing him… the distance between them was well within reach.
Instead, the other tall Hellion was slightly further away, so he dodged Xu Jingming’s strike.
“Wh—” The black-armored Hellion felt that something was amiss when his two sabers stabbed into Xu Jingming’s body because it was as if they had stabbed into a bottomless pool.
Xu Jingming grabbed him, and dozens of colorful threads in his palm instantly burrowed into the black-armored Hellion, silently disintegrating and dissipating him.
A Hellion who had great feats to his name, having even killed two human Origin lifeforms—Overlord Congfeng—died just like that.
“What?” The other tall Hellion was alarmed. He died from a touch?
Us Hellions use weapons to fight at close range, so it’s very normal for our bodies to come into contact. How did Congfeng die from mere contact? The tall Hellion’s heart turned cold.
Whoosh.
Xu Jingming appeared close to him.
Under the suppression of the light, it was very difficult for the tall Hellion to teleport. He could only try his best to dodge.
Pu!
Xu Jingming didn’t hide his strength at all in his lightning-fast strike. The speed at which he struck out was his limit!
With the suppression of his domain, the extremely fast strike stabbed the tall Hellion Origin lifeform. When it struck, dozens of colorful threads burrowed into the other party’s body at the point of contact.
The tall Hellion also disintegrated and dissipated.
He killed two Hellion Origin lifeforms just like that, but Xu Jingming didn’t feel smug at all.
He needed some strategy in a one-on-three battle, but one-on-two? He just needed to kill one and chase after the last one. It was very simple!
...
With the numbered Primordial Battle Armor, he had great life-preservation abilities. Lv. 9 opponents couldn’t injure him at all, but if he came into contact with the other party, the other party would die unless… the other party had a way to resist the infiltration of Primordial Battle Armor #9.
Silkworm Wanderer. Xu Jingming looked down. The planet is still there, but everyone is gone.
“Is evolving into a stronger lifeform just for destruction?” Xu Jingming’s sigh echoed in the night sky as he left the area.
…
Xu Jingming had just returned to the stellar system where Jishui was when he received a message from the Primordial Research Institute.
“According to our estimates, the Hellion team that plundered the Ansu Star Alliance has suffered over 30% losses. Moreover, the leader of the Hellion team has been killed. This team will most likely choose to retreat. Thank you, Guardians.”
This message made Xu Jingming heave a sigh of relief.
If they retreated, the other habitable planets in the Ansu Star Alliance would be temporarily safe. Although the probability of being selected was very low for the countless planets in the Star Alliance, it would be a calamity once they were selected.
“They too feel fear when they suffer horrific losses!” Xu Jingming whispered.
******
“Captain is dead? Congro and the others are dead? Congfeng and the others are also dead?”
...
“The plundering just began. Why are there so many deaths?”
“The Ansu Star Alliance must have very powerful guardians.”
“Retreat.”
Although the other Origin lifeforms couldn’t send messages, they could determine that their companions were dead through the signals.
Typically, a raid would last for dozens of days, causing a bloody storm in a Star Alliance. With their spatial talent and escape methods, the chances of being intercepted by the humans weren’t high.
Although there were occasional casualties, the deaths were distributed across both parties.
To have seven Hellion Origin lifeforms—including their Lv. 10 captain—dying just two waves into the plundering was definitely a very rare situation.
“Retreat.”
“Retreat.”
The remaining 12 Hellion Origin lifeforms in this team chose to retreat and escape in spaceships.
They had suffered a huge loss, but it was very normal. A Star Alliance had two terrifying guardians—Mr. Jane and the owner of a numbered Primordial Battle Armor. In terms of efficiency in intercepting and killing, Xu Jingming—who had the strongest Primordial Battle Armor in terms of escape—was much more efficient than Mr. Jane.
It was precisely because they knew his efficiency that they deployed Xu Jingming despite him being a newly-advanced Lv. 9 Origin lifeform. If he were stronger and more experienced, he would probably be sent to the battlefield to fight the Void Celestials.
…
Night passed, and the sun rose.
The light of the morning sun shone in from the window.
Xu Jingming sat in the study and gazed at the dense formulas on the projection. After all he had experienced, he became even more focused on learning.
The youth, Qiu Qingke, woke up in the morning and came to the study door. The door wasn’t closed, and he saw the man looking at a projection.
Did Uncle not sleep the entire night? Qiu Qingke thought as he reached out and gently knocked on the open door.
Xu Jingming glanced at him and smiled. “You’re up?”
“Thank you for saving me yesterday, Uncle,” Qiu Qingke said with a bow.
“It’s nothing,” Xu Jingming replied.
Unfortunately… he couldn’t do anything about the numerous humans on Dinichthyidae and Silkworm Wanderer yesterday.
Even the three strongest human Paramounts fought constantly in high-dimensional space with their true bodies. Only by being strong could they intimidate the enemy.
“Oh right, you can go home,” Xu Jingming said. “The Chaluo Group probably won’t be in the mood to deal with you.”
“Not in the mood to deal with me?” Qiu Qingke was puzzled.
“You’ll know when you go online later,” Xu Jingming said.
Qiu Qingke nodded. “Then, I’ll take my leave.”
Xu Jingming nodded and continued looking at the projection.
“Uncle,” Qiu Qingke said again.
Xu Jingming looked at him. He hasn’t left?
“May I know your name?” Qiu Qingke stared at Xu Jingming.
“Ming,” Xu Jingming answered.
“Uncle Ming, thank you.” Qiu Qingke bowed again and thanked him before quickly leaving.
When he went downstairs and left, Qiu Qingke was still muttering to himself, There are dense formulas on Uncle Ming’s projection without a single word. They are all filled with all kinds of formulas… It looks like Uncle Ming is a very impressive scholar. In any case, it made me dizzy.
Qiu Qingke walked out. As he walked, he tapped open the projection on his watch and read the news.
“Wow—” Qiu Qingke’s mouth widened.
I just took a nap, and so many bigshots were arrested? They are going to be sentenced? An upheaval has happened in Jishui? Qiu Qingke was stunned before he became excited. Who cares? Conflict between important figures isn’t something I can understand, but the entire Chaluo Group is finished. Haha, I’m free—free.
Qiu Qingke laughed loudly and executed his movement technique. With a few flashes, he was gone.
In the study.
Xu Jingming looked out the window and then continued studying the projection. He was still too weak.
