Chapter 8: Space Adventurer! Chapter 13: The Strength of a One-Star Adventurer!
A powerful figure with one eye and four arms appeared above the Star Lord's Mansion. The overwhelming aura of a Domain Lord made everyone present feel as if they were suffocating.
"Nigrixi...you actually invited a domain master."
Ulmers looked up at the one-eyed, four-armed figure with a heavy expression.
"Hahaha!" Niglich laughed fiercely, "My dear brother, do you think I would return to Beta Planet without any preparation?"
"Lord Brook, please kill him!"
He spoke respectfully to the one-eyed, four-armed figure above him.
Brooke's purple eye looked down at Ulmers below with indifference and said:
"You should commit suicide!"
When Ulmers met Brook's cold gaze, he immediately felt an overwhelming pressure on his conscious level.
“Is this… the strength of a Territory Lord? Even though I appear to be only half a step away from a Territory Lord… there is a world of difference in strength.”
Ulmers was silent for a moment, then did something that shocked everyone.
He suddenly bowed to the Star Lord's Mansion and said respectfully:
"Lord Heilei, please help!"
Almost as soon as Ulmers finished speaking, a shadow rushed out from the depths of the Star Lord's Mansion and appeared in front of everyone like lightning.
This is a cosmic human being about three meters tall, who looks similar to humans on Earth, but with a bloody stripe on each side of his face.
In his hand he held a thick black sword.
However, what attracted the most attention was the bloody medal he wore on his chest.
"It's him!"
The moment Chu Zhou saw Lord Hei Lei, he recognized that this man was the one-star cosmic adventurer he had seen in the starry sky not long ago.
"This... This is a one-star space adventurer!"
In secret, many powerful people who were paying attention to this place were also shocked at this moment.
Even more shocked than when he saw Brook show up just now.
"Ulmers, you actually hired a space adventurer!" Nigrich was shocked and angry.
Space adventurers are one of the most ferocious and powerful groups of humans in the universe. Each one of them is an elite among the elites.
However, the cost of hiring space adventurers is staggeringly high.
Even the richest people on ordinary planets in the Galactic Empire cannot afford to hire space adventurers.
Niglich thought that he was able to invite a domain master, which was already "shocking", but he didn't expect that Ulmers was even more outrageous and directly hired a cosmic adventurer.
When Brooke saw Lord Black Thunder appear, his pupils suddenly shrank.
"Sir, my teacher is Talon of the Galactic Empire... Could you please give up this mission for the sake of my teacher?"
"As for your loss, it will be compensated by our Talon family."
Brooke spoke up.
"Talon? I know. But it's impossible for me to give up the mission just because of his name!"
Lord Hei Lei said this coldly and took action directly.
The thick black sword swung with lightning speed.
In an instant, the golden rules permeated the void.
A black sword light that shocked the world broke through the air.
That ray of black sword light was like a huge black crescent moon rising from the horizon, emitting extremely strong regular fluctuations.
It exudes a sharp aura that cuts through everything.
In just a moment, whether it was the numerous Star Guards, the space bandits, or people like Chu Zhou who were watching the battle in secret, they all had the illusion that their souls and bodies were being destroyed at the same time.
When Brooke saw the black blade coming towards him, his face changed drastically.
"Blood Devouring!"
He roared, poured all his Force into the blood-red sword in his hand, and used the "Blood Devouring" skill that he had practiced for many years.
In an instant, the blood-red sword in his hand shot out like a blood-red lightning at a speed ten thousand times the speed of sound.
However, when the blood-red lightning collided with the black moon-like scimitar, it was cut off instantly.
A broken piece of bloody sword flew to the ground and stuck in the ground.
Almost at the same time, Brook's body was cut into two pieces by the black knife light.
Moreover, the body that was broken into two pieces continued to break into smaller pieces, as if an invisible knife continued to cut Brook's body.
"boom--"
Suddenly, a magnificent star field about an acre in size appeared, enveloping all the fragments of Brook's body, and instantly rushed out of Beta City and into space.
Lord Hei Lei looked indifferently at the magnificent star field that was getting farther and farther away, and swung his sword again, slashing it fiercely.
An extremely sharp black blade light slashed into that magnificent star field.
"ah--"
A shrill scream was heard from the magnificent star field.
The light of the entire star field became extremely dim.
Moreover, that star field was shaking violently and was almost on the verge of collapse.
but.
That star field did not collapse in the end, but disappeared at the end of the sky.
"Lord Brook...was defeated."
Niglich was stunned when he saw Brook fleeing after being defeated.
The next moment.
He turned around and fled out of Beta City.
However, as soon as he moved, a black blade light pierced through his body.
He turned into a corpse and fell in front of the Star Lord's Palace.
"The mercenary mission has been completed! The rest is up to you!"
Lord Black Thunder spoke calmly to Ulmers.
The next moment, he took out a golden dragon-shaped spaceship from the space ring and left directly on the spaceship.
"Farewell, Lord Heilei!"
Ulmers bowed and saw it off until the golden dragon-shaped spaceship disappeared from sight.
"Sure enough, space adventurers are the elite among humans, much stronger than ordinary warriors of the same level."
"That Brook is also a powerful domain master, but he can't stop Lord Black Thunder's sword!"
Chu Zhou was also watching Lord Hei Lei leaving. Recalling the opponent's powerful sword just now, he felt a chill in his heart.
If he were to encounter such a sword attack now, he would probably be killed instantly.
"After I am promoted to Domain Lord, I will immediately apply to participate in the Space Adventurer Assessment..."
Chu Zhou secretly made a decision in his heart.
"escape……"
Above the Star Lord's Mansion, there are more than 1,600 space bandits fighting with the Star Guards.
Seeing Brook's defeat and escape, and Nigrich being killed, these space bandits suddenly realized that something was wrong, and fled madly towards the outside of Beta City like frightened birds.
"Niglichi, I am the winner after all!"
Ulmers looked at Nigrich's body and smiled coldly.
Then, he glanced at his many subordinates, and when he saw that their numbers had been severely reduced and even eight of his capable subordinates at the ninth level of the Star Order had died, the rage in his heart soared wildly.
When he thought of the enormous price he had paid to hire Lord Hei Lei this time, the anger in his heart surged again.
"Star Guards, listen up and report to this star lord immediately. Destroy these cosmic bandits one by one." He roared.
Then, he said to Chu Zhou and other spectators hiding in the dark:
"Everyone, these cosmic bandits are guilty of all kinds of evil and are truly a group of pests... I ask you to take action and kill these pests."
"Master Star Lord is absolutely right. We will destroy them right now."
The "power struggle" between Ulmers and Nigrich has come to an end, and the strong men from the major forces and families on Beta Star are also willing to give Ulmers face.
Therefore, they began to take action to hunt down those space bandits who were fleeing everywhere.
Chu Zhou was more active than others. In his eyes, those cosmic bandits were just walking attribute points. How could he miss such a good opportunity to harvest attribute points?
Without using space jump, he burst his speed to the extreme, turning into a high-speed afterimage, frantically hunting down one cosmic bandit after another.
His current strength far exceeds that of an average ninth-level star.
Therefore, among all the cosmic robbers, none of them can be his opponent.
Basically, anyone who is caught up by him will be killed instantly.
After being transformed again and again by the power of space rules, Chu Zhou's body has acquired strong spatial attributes.
Even without using the secret of space jump, his speed was dozens of times faster than that of a normal ninth-level star.
Therefore, his afterimage was almost everywhere in the entire Beta City, and he killed about a thousand of the more than 1,600 fleeing space bandits directly by himself.
This killing speed and efficiency is much higher than that of Star Lord Ulmers and other ninth-level star powerhouses in Beta City.
It also shocked Ulmers and all the ninth-order strongmen in Beta City.
"Hiss, who on earth is this person? When did such a terrifying ninth-level star appear in our Beta City?"
"Too scary, this person has at least reached the level of a Star Lord. I feel like if I were to face him, I would be killed instantly."
"That shouldn't be the case! Logically, we wouldn't be unaware of such a person settling in Beta City!"
Many ninth-level stars in Beta City looked at the afterimages left by Chu Zhou in shock.
They were full of doubts. The circle of ninth-level Star Warriors in Beta City was not large. There were only about 150 to 160 people in the entire circle, and basically everyone knew each other.
But they had never seen Chu Zhou.
"Is he... Chu Zhou?"
Ulmers recognized Chu Zhou.
He was also very shocked.
He knew that Chu Zhou, as a "first-class talent", must be no ordinary person.
But I didn't expect Chu Zhou to be so extraordinary.
There is no doubt that Chu Zhou's strength is far beyond that of a ninth-level star warrior in the conventional sense.
As a person who has stepped half a step into the realm master level, Ulmers' strength is far beyond the conventional ninth level of stars.
He had never fought with Chu Zhou, so he didn't know whether he was stronger or Chu Zhou was stronger.
But there is one thing he is sure of, with the terrifying speed displayed by Chu Zhou... he can't do anything to Chu Zhou.
In other words, Chu Zhou was already invincible before the competition even started.
“The price paid for this war is indeed very high… But if I can make friends with a monster like Chu Zhou, it doesn’t seem to be a loss!”
Ulmers thought so in his heart, a smile appeared on his face, and he flew towards Chu Zhou.
