Chapter 457: 457: Spirit Clan Dwarfs

Translator: 549690339

The Earth Core Jade Tower is one of the four major gangs in the Sanjiang Federation, mainly dealing in slave trade and contracting life planets to grow poisonous substances. It has the worst reputation among the four major gangs.

“One, two, three, four… A total of twenty-five people, quite a lot.”

Lin Zhen held the only Cosmic Crystal he had, weighing it for a moment: “If you want it, you can have it.”

Their leader was a Constant Star Level Nine Spiritual Mind Master, which was basically the most powerful being below the Black Hole Period. He sneered, “Are you trying to beg? Our brothers have been exposed to the wind and rain here, dozens of people need to eat, today if you don’t hand over all your property, this will be your burial place.”

“But I really only have this Cosmic Crystal.”

“It’s useless to say that, hand over your Space Ring, we’ll search for ourselves.”

Lin Zhen’s Space Ring really didn’t have any good things in it now, and all of the valuable items had been transferred to the Dark Star Space, which was the real safe place.

But even a Space Ring without anything good, Lin Zhen wouldn’t allow others to search, he touched his nose: “What if I say no?”

“Kid, you’d better think it through. This isn’t a virtual world. Once you die, you’ll never return to your homeland, not even your body.”

“I’ve thought it through. Either you take the Cosmic Crystal or you get nothing.”

A cold light flashed in the eyes of the leader: “Fine, you have spine. I like people with spine, I think we can become friends.”

Lin Zhen laughed, “It’s good to make friends, I like making friends too, so let me give my new friend a little welcome gift.”

He lifted his left hand, and an energy ball suddenly appeared in his palm.

The strong light made the people around squint their eyes. Lin Zhen suddenly turned his head, and the energy ball struck the space behind him.

The dazzling light was accompanied by a scream, a Seven-level Constant Star martial artist in black clothes and holding a short knife was knocked out by Lin Zhen. The energy ball raged for a second, and his body was completely vaporized.

With a casual blow to kill a Seven-level Constant Star, Lin Zhen acted as if he had done something insignificant and clapped his hands: “How is it? I let you watch a fireworks display for free. Are you satisfied with the gift I gave you, my friend?”

“Looking for death!”

Seeing Lin Zhen spot their sneak attack, the members of the Earth Core Jade Tower shouted and attacked from all directions.

“Seven Stars Knife!”

Seven cold lights burst forth, instantly extending toward seven people. Lin Zhen shook the Yin-Yang Spear in his hand: “If you want to kill, you have to be prepared to be killed!”

“Tianhe Star Explosion!”

With one spear thrust, more than a dozen planets seemed to rush out from behind Lin Zhen like huge missiles, casting a hundred-meter square area into an Asura Arena in an instant.

“Not good!”

The leader of the Earth Core Jade Tower let out a strange cry, holding an Artifact shield in front of him, resisting the planets Lin Zhen launched in an instant.

But his partners behind him didn’t have such good artifacts, and they were blown to pieces in Lin Zhen’s Tianhe Star Explosion.

Lin Zhen took a light step, shook the spear in his hand, and it was unstoppable!

The spear pierced through the shield and went straight into the heart!

Clutching the spear, Lin Zhen exerted force, and a burst of freezing air emerged from the tip of the spear, instantly freezing the whole person of the leader inside.

Before being frozen, the leader sent out a Mental Shock attack towards Lin Zhen, but in front of Lin Zhen’s 80% sky blue spiritual power, his mental shock was like smashing an egg against a rock.

Lin Zhen retracted his spear, and the leader still had an expression of disbelief on his face, holding the shield and with eyes wide open.

Lin Zhen walked over, tapped the spear on the leader’s palm, breaking it and picked up his Space Ring.

He opened it to see a bright view. After scanning with his spiritual power, there were actually more than 300,000 Cosmic Crystals!

Apart from the Cosmic Crystals, there was nothing else good, and some larger items must have been transferred to other people’s rings.

Lin Zhen checked all the rings he could collect, but only found a few hundred Cosmic Crystals scattered around, probably privately hidden by those people.

“Not a bad harvest, these people must have robbed quite a bit here, now I’ve picked up a bargain, more than 320,000, hehe!”

Lin Zhen didn’t bother with those who had died, putting all the property into the Dark Star Space, having this huge natural warehouse, Lin Zhen would basically not waste anything anymore.

The smell of blood slowly dispersed, and the surroundings gradually became lively.

Lin Zhen’s eyesight was excellent, he looked far away and saw pairs of fierce, venomous, resentful, and murderous eyes appearing on the surrounding rocks and trees.

“Here they come! Asura Clan! The race that challenges the deity.”

Lin Zhen couldn’t be negligent, holding the Yin-Yang Spear in his hand, he immediately activated his Armorization.

Shoo, shoo, shoo, shoo~~!!

Figures rushed out like lightning, reaching speeds of tens to even a hundred times the speed of sound. The air behind them was blasted by their high-speed movement, making a thunderous noise as they rushed towards Lin Zhen.

With only simple clothes, or even completely naked, each person had a fierce face, holding weapons stained with blood, and they were all at least at the beginning of the Constant Star Period. In an instant, more than a hundred Asura warriors joined the attack.

“Start the battle!”

Lin Zhen had no fear, holding the Yin-Yang Spear, teleporting into the crowd and launching Meteor Fall!

Dazzling light burst forth, and a bloody rain filled the air.

After advancing to the Satellite Stage, Lin Zhen could easily crush not only Planet Stage opponents but even ordinary Constant Star Stage ones. The spear danced in his hands, leaving the battle-loving Asura Clan no match for him.

Three minutes later, the bodies of the Asura lay strewn all over the ground.

“Thunder Kill!”

With a thrust of his spear, Thunder and Holy Light swirled like a windmill, blasting away a tall male Asura. The battlefield fell into silence.

Lin Zhen withdrew his spear and looked behind a large rock: “Have you seen enough? Come out.”

There was no movement from behind the rock. Lin Zhen snorted coldly and flicked his wrist, sending the Golden Qi Seven Star Knife flying. With a gentle cut, the rock was sliced in half like tofu, and the two halves fell to the side.

A figure emerged from behind the rock.

Wearing a helmet with a divine artifact, the helmet had two horns, and in his hand, he wielded a large axe. His armor was crude, and he stood barely over 1.3 meters tall, but his body was incredibly robust. His eyes were wide open, staring at Lin Zhen.

“You… you really found me?”

“Your camouflage technique is indeed good, but it’s useless before my eyes. You should know that I am a high-level Spiritual Mind Master.”

Lin Zhen looked at the dwarf, aware of his race—this was a Dwarf Clan member.

Moreover, he knew that this was no ordinary Dwarf Clan member, but a member of the Spirit Clan among the Dwarfs.

The Dwarf Clan were naturally strong warriors with immense power, but like the Beastman, their race had almost no Spiritual Mind Masters. They also didn’t fear mental attacks.

The Spirit Clan was a special race among the Dwarf Clan, born with a keen sense for treasures. They were a unique existence. Lin Zhen had learned about this race by chance in his previous life, and he didn’t expect to encounter one today.

The Spirit Clan dwarf in front of him was clearly young, his face lacking a thick beard, and he seemed naive. However, Lin Zhen didn’t take him lightly; this guy had already reached the Black Hole Early Stage, a formidable opponent.

Moreover, Lin Zhen noticed that this dwarf wore as many as ten Space Rings on his hands.

Lin Zhen had never confronted a Black Hole Stage opponent head-on, and while Lin Zhen’s eyes flickered momentarily, he proceeded with an emotionless expression.

The dwarf saw the approaching human god of war and panicked. Although he was the first genius of the Dwarf Clan in their star system, with his realm reaching the Black Hole Early Stage at the age of eighty, he found himself without any confidence against this human.

This human was too powerful, not only slaughtering the gang members in the Earth Core Jade Tower but also killing countless Asuras. Plus, after observing him for so long, there was still no way to discern his realm.

His opponent was beyond comprehension!

The dwarf drew this conclusion and realized that he might be no match for Lin Zhen, so he quickly backed down.

“Hey, hey, hey! Bro! I don’t have any ill intentions. I just wanted to leave through the teleportation array, but your fighting blocked the exit, so I had to wait here. After your battle is over, I plan to slip away quietly. You see, in the Asura Path, for someone like me who has no power and money, we can only struggle to survive.”

Lin Zhen sneered: “No power? Your invisibility technique is excellent. If my spiritual power wasn’t strong enough, I wouldn’t even detect you. Besides, your realm has already reached the Black Hole Early Stage. How can you say you’re weak?”

With the spear in his hand, Lin Zhen took a step forward, each step falling in rhythm with the dwarf’s heartbeat. This feeling made him extremely uncomfortable.

This was Lin Zhen’s insight during battle, controlling the opponent’s mind and affecting their performance.

“Stop, stop! Don’t come closer! What are you doing getting so close? Can’t you show me some respect? After all, I am at the Black Hole Stage, and if you push me too far, you may not gain anything.”

The dwarf spoke while his eyes shifted around, and Lin Zhen could feel his muscles tensing, a sign of impending action.

“Tell me, why are you here? Did you find any treasure?”

“What are you talking about… I was just passing by… ”

“A Spirit Clan member among the Dwarf Clan, don’t think no one can recognize you!”

The dwarf was taken aback, and a determined expression appeared on his face. He did not expect anyone would be able to identify his race.

Utilizing his intuition for treasures, he had thrived in this place, coming here upon discovering some valuable items. He had not anticipated that Lin Zhen would uncover his identity.

He had no choice but to gamble.

Just as the dwarf prepared to attack Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen stopped in his tracks, momentarily disrupting the rhythm he had established with the dwarf’s heartbeat.

This sudden change made the dwarf uncomfortable, causing his heart to skip a beat involuntarily.

Seizing this momentary opportunity, Lin Zhen made his move.

Phantom God Strike!

The dwarf was caught off guard and unable to block Lin Zhen’s attack. The axe in his hand was knocked away, and his body was sent flying like a ball across hundreds of meters!

The dwarf let out a strange cry and turned to flee.

Lin Zhen laughed, pursuing him like a bolt of lightning.

He was determined to subdue this Spirit Clan dwarf.
