Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 76 Provocation

"What plan?"

The man in black, Hong, frowned. Such a commotion, just to lure him over, was clearly not something trivial.

"It's related to monsters, but this isn't the place to talk about that!"

Seeing several more streaks of light flash by in the distance, Qin Mu spoke calmly.

The Chinese military and the Thunder Martial Arts School personnel arrived almost simultaneously, and one by one, powerful figures flew out of the fighter jets.

Two powerful figures, surpassing the level of the God of War, have arrived from the Chinese side: Councilor Jia Yi and Councilor Tuoba.

A mixed-race, bald monk in white robes flew out of the fighter jet in the Thunder Martial Arts Hall.

As soon as the white-robed, bald monk appeared, he burst into laughter.

"Brother Hong, you beat me to it again! I set off immediately after receiving the news, but I was still a little slower than you. Did you get the Cloud Vine yet?"

Hong gently shook his head, his gaze towards Qin Mu somewhat solemn.

Based solely on information obtained from previous satellite data, Hong could conclude that Mo Yun Teng was quite powerful, and that he and Thor were probably the only ones on Earth capable of subduing it.

But Qin Mu, who has risen to prominence at an extremely rapid pace, has also done it with ease.

Following Hong's gaze, the bald, white-robed monk looked at Qin Mu.

"Qin Mu? You got your hands on the Cloud-Piercing Vine?"

Qin Mu smiled when he saw the white-robed, bald monk and replied.

"That's right! I got lucky."

The fact that he liked to wear white robes, was a bald monk, and called Hong "Brother" made his identity quite obvious.

Thunder God, the headmaster of the Thunder Martial Arts School!

"Your skills are quite impressive. How about we spar sometime?"

Unlike the mature and steady Hong, Thor's personality is much more unconventional, and his style of doing things is quite casual.

On Earth, the strength of others is far inferior to theirs, making even a simple sparring match impossible.

The only person he could spar with was Hong, but every time he sparred with Hong, he was unilaterally defeated. After a while, he stopped sparring with Hong.

Upon discovering a powerful martial artist, how could one not be overjoyed?

In this era, there is no one who is not warlike who can become a powerhouse surpassing the level of a war god!

"sure!"

Qin Mu smiled slightly. This was exactly what he wanted, or rather, it was one of his goals all along.

During their conversation, neither Jia Yi nor Councilor Tuoba spoke, but simply greeted them and came up behind Qin Mu, acting as if Qin Mu was the leader.

They knew that Qin Mu would seek an opportunity to challenge Hong and Thor.

However, Qin Mu and Lei Shen did not rush to make a move. Not only had they not finished harvesting the spirits of the plants on the ground, but fighter jets were also approaching from afar.

The HR alliance forces from the other four major countries also arrived one after another.

"Greetings to the First Speaker and the Second Speaker."

Amidst the HR Alliance fighter jets, a white man with brown curly hair and flames all over his body flew out of the jet and greeted Hong and Thor with a respectful expression.

Among the American fighter jets, a tall, strong white man also respectfully saluted Hong and Thor.

"Greetings to the First Speaker and the Second Speaker."

The forces of the five great nations and the HR Alliance all bowed to Hong and Thor.

The man led by the American, seeing that all the major powers had arrived, greeted Hong and Thor with apparent respect.

"There are so many plant spirits here, and those long vines too, I wonder how we should distribute them?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Hong and Thor out of the corner of his eye.

The powerful figures from the surrounding forces also held their breath and listened intently.

Hong didn't speak, he just shook his head.

"Let's go! Let's collect the spirits of plants and trees!"

The powerful figures from the United States, Europe, and other countries were just about to rush towards Kirishima Island below.

The man from the HR Alliance, covered in flames, glanced at a white man in front of him, his expression changed slightly, as if he had received some instructions, and suddenly spoke.

"The people from Huaxia must have been the first to arrive! They've actually harvested so many plant spirits! Everyone who sees these plant spirits gets a share; you Huaxia people are far too greedy!"

Almost everyone present was a powerhouse surpassing the God of War, so how could they not notice that the backpack floating behind Qin Mu was almost full of plant spirits, roughly estimated to be over a hundred!

If it were just one or two plant spirits, that would be one thing, but with so many plant spirits, how could they not be envious?

China is not like Hong or Thor, possessing the power to make them absolutely submit!

Although Qin Mu's performance during the previous beast tide was amazing, their HR Alliance is not without strong members!

It's not impossible for Ester, the strongest in the EU, the fourth speaker, and the strongest in the HR Alliance, to kill a level-three planetary monster in a fit of rage.

Not only is Fourth Speaker East, but Fifth Speaker Atkin is also quite capable.

Driven by self-interest, how could they easily let go of such an opportunity?

The powerful figures from the other major powers around them remained silent.

If they were merely a few spirits of plants and trees, they probably wouldn't have considered confronting the Chinese nation.

But that's hundreds of them!

This means hundreds of peak-level warriors!

Moreover, the plant spirits with vines that are thousands of meters long, as seen in satellite monitoring, are probably powerful enough to create beings that surpass even the God of War. Of course, they are tempted!

They just didn't dare to say it outright because of Hong and Lei Shen.

Although Hong established Hongning Base City and founded the Extreme Martial Arts School, he was, after all, of Chinese origin.

Hong, deep down, definitely favors China.

Now that the HR Alliance has brought this up, who wouldn't have some thoughts?

Upon hearing the words of the man engulfed in flames, Qin Mu revealed a cold smile.

"Representative Farr from the HR Alliance? You have a problem with our Chinese state?"

Qin Mu had read about the strength of all the current powerful individuals on Earth, especially those at the planetary level, in the military's intelligence reports, so he also had some understanding of the flame man.

"It's not that I have a problem with it! It's just that you can't possibly consume so many plant spirits! And the core of that long vine plant spirit—that level of plant spirit could probably create a councilor-level powerhouse!"

Councilor Nafar's eyes were filled with greed. If he obtained that spirit of plants, wouldn't he have a chance to reach the level of power of Hong and the Thunder God?

Even if he actually got it, he certainly wouldn't have a chance to use it within the HR Alliance, but even so, he still had ideas in his mind.

"snort!"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Mu's eyes. He said nothing more, and behind him, crescent-shaped blades shot out, striking Councilor Fal's chest with lightning speed.

Senator Nafar felt his scalp tingle; aside from being covered by the Black God Armor, he was unable to retaliate at all before being hit.

"Wow--"

Representative Nafar coughed up a mouthful of blood, his chest was caved in, and his bones were broken.

If it weren't for the Black God Set, this attack would have been enough to kill him instantly.

"You dare!"

In the HR Alliance, a white leader was enraged and raised his weapon to strike.

But the moment he made his move, more than a dozen crescent moon blades around Qin Mu shot out at more than twenty times the speed of sound, and almost instantly struck him.

In just a moment, he was sent flying backward through the air, just like Councilor Far, spitting out blood.

"Atkins? What garbage!"

Qin Mu's eyes were cold. In this HR Alliance, only Ister made him think highly of him. The others were basically scum, the kind of people who would need to be cleaned up after Earth was unified.

The reason why Ist was given such high regard was not because of his strength, but because in the original timeline of Swallowing Star, he chose to sacrifice himself in order to help Luo Feng kill the Golden Horned Beast.

"The Black God Set? I'm very curious! Can this Black God Set save your lives?"

A chilling smile crept across Qin Mu's lips.

"Rainbow Moonlight Slash, go!"

The 256 crescent moon blades converged and combined, transforming into a silver moonlight beam tens of meters long, which slashed wildly at Atkin, who was flying backward.

However, just as the moonlight was about to touch Atkin.

Hong's figure appeared in front of the silver moonlight. Centered on Hong, a hundred-meter space fell into endless darkness. The silver moonlight that had been slashing forward seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, its speed rapidly decreasing. When it flew in front of Hong, it was knocked away by the spear in Hong's hand.

"Your strike was enough to kill him."
