Cosmic Trading System-Chapter 739 - 696: Take Action Directly

"Could it be that he somehow learned our location and has come after us?" Qing Luo anxiously suggested.

They had already witnessed Nanweng’s strength, defeating Super Warrior Gweah with a single sword stroke and easily slaying him with a subsequent few. Then, he even held his own against three other Super Warriors of considerable strength.

Even if they pooled their strengths, they would barely manage against Gweah.

If Nanweng were to target them, they would probably not last long. It was safe to say they were doomed.

"No, his aura... it’s extremely disordered, as though he’s heavily injured!" Xiao Chong’s pupils slightly contracted as he said this under his breath.

Him being the strongest in the group, his sensing ability was also the best. He could tell that something was off about Nanweng’s aura.

"Heavily injured? Could it be..." Lianshan trailed off, a furrow appearing on his brow.

"It’s likely the work of those Super Warriors. It’s unclear if it was done by Eastern Emperor, Nine Lines Dragon and Cold and Proud War God, or by the later reinforcements..." Xiao Chong nodded faintly.

These days, they had taken care to sever all external contact to prevent their location from being discovered.

As a result, they were unaware of what happened in the outside world.

If they had utilized Xiao Chong’s information network, they would have known about the battle between Nanweng and the three Super Warriors on that day, which resulted in heavy injuries for the three. If it weren’t for the timely arrival of other Super Warriors, Nanweng might have successfully killed them.

Whether Nanweng’s injury was inflicted by the trio of Super Warriors or the subsequent reinforcements bore significantly different implications.

If it was the former, it would mean that Nanweng’s strength was limited, that he had been critically wounded by the three Super Warriors.

If it was the latter, it would suggest that Nanweng’s power greatly exceeded their expectations, that the three Super Warriors were powerless against him.

"If that’s the case, did he just happen to pass by this place while fleeing? This Star Domain makes it hard for starships and spaceships to perform Spatial Transposition. Few people would pass this way, let alone in a hurry. Are we just absurdly unlucky to cross paths with him..." Qing Luo said bitterly.

Given how difficult it was to perform Spatial Transposition in this Star Domain, it was now too late for them to escape over a long distance.

Listening to Qing Luo, Xiao Chong and the crew were at a loss.

This very Star Domain was one they had singled out collectively. Considering the vast size of the Level 9 Civilization Star Domain, it was unlucky beyond belief that they could run into Nanweng. It was almost comedic, akin to choking on water.

Elsewhere, Nanweng was frantically trying to escape.

Two days ago, he had seized an opportunity to slay another Super Warrior, angering the remaining Super Warriors chasing after him.

Each displaying formidable powers, they managed to give him quite a setback when he intended to take down another Super Warrior.

After making one mistake, he kept getting things wrong.

Initially, he could have escaped without a scratch, but now he had super warriors doggedly on his tail. He could no longer shake them off.

If this continued, he would eventually fall.

"Huh?"

At this moment, he spotted a battleship up ahead, with a faint aura emitting from it. He paused as he recognized the aura.

"Isn’t that Lin Yun and the crowd’s battleship? Right, the aura coming from that battleship... it’s Xiao Chong’s!" Nanweng exclaimed in surprise.

He never would have expected to randomly stumble upon Xiao Chong, Lin Yun, and the others during his escape.

Subsequently, his complexion rapidly shifted.

Honestly, with Lin Yun hailing from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, he didn’t want to provoke him at all.

However, Xiao Chong, Lin Yun and their crew were not weak. If he could slay them all and let the Bloodthirsty Sword absorb their essence, his injuries would undoubtedly recover significantly.

The Bloodthirsty Sword also had levels.

Since his breakthrough to the Super Region, the Bloodthirsty Sword had also advanced to the Super Region’s level.

Now, absorbing the essence of ordinary Cultivators would no longer contribute to his power or recuperation.

At the very least, it had to be the vital essence of a Level 12 Cultivator.

Even then, the essence of an early to mid-stage Level 12 Cultivator hardly contributed to his power increase and recovery after being absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Sword.

While this was Level 9 Civilization Star Domain, the number of Level 12 Cultivators was scant indeed.

An average administrative star didn’t have more than a few, most of whom were at the early or mid-stage Level 12.

He didn’t have the time to hunt them down one by one, nor did he want to risk walking into an ambush set by the Super Warriors.

It wasn’t that he was overly cautious, but that’s exactly how he had gotten caught in an ambush previously. Those people had deduced his flight path and discovered his need to absorb the vigor of strong beings to enhance his power and recover from his injuries.

The sudden appearance of Xiao Chong, Lin Yun, and their crew made for perfect targets.

He knew that apart from Lin Yun and the few Level 12 Cultivators, they had six Half-step Super Warriors among them.

Now, with his strength repeatedly injured, even average Super Warriors posed a problem—so wouldn’t these six half-step Super Warriors make perfect targets?

But… he was somewhat hesitant in his heart.

The fact that Lin Yun and his group came from the Immortal Origin Holy Land was one factor.

He also remembered the last time he planned to deal with Lin Yun, his Bloodthirsty Sword suddenly changed, giving him a significant setback.

What if, this time while dealing with Lin Yun and his group, the Bloodthirsty Sword suddenly changed again and set him back? It would be a loss he couldn’t afford.

"No matter, I’d die sooner or later like this anyway. Regardless of whether they came from the Immortal Origin Holy Land, or could make the Bloodthirsty Sword change, the chance to survive is right in front of me—I’ll take the gamble…" Nanweng soon steeled his heart, gritting his teeth as he made the decision.

Whoosh—Whoosh—

Deciding this, he urged the little remaining power within his body, swiftly pursuing Lin Yun and his group.

"Not good! Nanweng is catching up!"

"Quick! Let’s move fast!"

Seeing this, the faces of Lianshan, Qing Luo, and their group changed, saying anxiously.

"That won’t work, our battleship can only move this fast. Unless we abandon the battleship and try to teleport or use short-distance spatial transposition ourselves. But even then, we wouldn’t be able to outpace Nanweng..." Xiao Chong said with a grim face.

The moment they recognized Nanweng, Xiao Chong instructed their battleship to maintain its maximum speed and fly in the direction away from Nanweng.

Despite this, things were taking a turn for the worst.

At this moment, Nanweng was in hot pursuit of them—they probably had no means of escaping.

"If only we hadn’t chosen to enter this Star Domain, where spatial jumps are difficult to perform..." Meng Black lamented with a bitter smile.

If they hadn’t, they could have facilitated a spatial jump in their battleship before Xiao Chong’s Domain Power could affect it. Now, they were truly just shooting themselves in the foot.

"It’s too late for regrets now, prepare for battle!" Xiao Chong said in a low voice.

"Yes!"

Everyone nodded—the situation had come to this, they had no other choice.

"Boom—Boom—"

Between words, they all released their powerful Domain Power.

Whoosh—

Just then, Nanweng took a step forward, stopping not far from their battleship.

The next moment, he swung his sword towards Lin Yun and his group.

"Swish—"

A burst of blood-red light shot towards their battleship as fast as a meteor.

"Block it!!!"

Xiao Chong shouted.

He didn’t expect Nanweng to attack them directly without a word.

It seemed that their initial guess was correct.

When Nanweng helped fend off the attack from the three Eastern Emperors, he was just using them. In reality, Nangweng had been harboring murderous intentions towards them all along.

"Buzz—"

"Rumble—"

The Domain Power of Xiao Chong, Lin Yun, and the others, various defensive powers, various offensive powers, all spared no effort to intercept the burst of blood-red light.

They hadn’t forgotten, a week ago, when they met Nanweng he killed hundreds of cultivators with a few blood-red strikes—they dared not underestimate this blood-red light.

In the starry sky, bursts of force collided and exploded repeatedly, creating a resounding noise.

In the end, Xiao Chong, Lin Yun and the others successfully blocked the blood-red light, and even had a significant amount of strength left.

"Did we block it?"

"The power of this blood-red light doesn’t seem as strong as before?"

"Has Nanweng’s strength fallen to this level?"

Seeing this, Qing Luo, Lianshan, and the others expressed their surprise and joy one after another.
