Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Battle of Geniuses

Chapter 167 Hunting for the Unrivaled King (Part 2)

"They're coming for me!"

Luo Feng understood the situation, but his mood somber.

This was not the first time he had been assassinated.

However, it is truly unprecedented in history that the three top clans have joined forces in such a tacit and unspoken way, as they have done today.

Luo Feng felt that he was not yet a threat that could be seen as a thorn in the side by the three top clans.

"I can guess the reason to some extent."

Luo Feng was slightly speechless, feeling like he was caught in the crossfire.

But the next moment, he swept away his negative emotions and gave the order to his soul servant: "Heavy Arrow, prepare to assist me in escaping the battlefield!"

"Yes, Master!"

At the same time, Luo Feng also informed his teammates that a Zerg team was approaching them unimpeded.

However, it did not reveal that this Zerg team was targeting them.

It wasn't that he was deliberately hiding it, but rather that he suspected he was being targeted, and he couldn't prove it in a short time.

I simply won't explain. My teammates aren't stupid; after my reminder, they'll probably understand the truth with a little thought.

In the blink of an eye, the heavy arrow king and other soul servants quietly changed positions and blocked Luo Feng and the King-level team's path. These soul servants were already around Luo Feng, so their position change was naturally extremely fast.

This action was naturally noticed by the Zerg King-Sealing Squad, who were keeping a close eye on Luo Feng. They no longer concealed their purpose and approached him directly.

The Heavy Arrow King, standing in front, burned his divine power and activated the precious Purple Bell, directly enveloping the three alien kings at the head of the group.

At the same time, two enormous black arrows shot out like black meteors, piercing through several alien kings and wreaking havoc within their divine bodies, annihilating more than ten percent of their divine bodies in the blink of an eye.

Several other long, silvery sword lights followed closely behind, slicing through the Kings who were trying to sneak up on them from the left and right.

However, Luo Feng made a sudden move, and his battle blade, stained with Femoro's venom, killed several kings in a short time.

Sensing the movement and realizing that Luo Feng was being targeted, the human reinforcements attempted to rush to his aid. However, as if they had been prepared, many powerful kings from the three races charged out recklessly, burning their divine power without hesitation, and forcefully blocked their reinforcement route.

Meanwhile, the Zerg army did not miss this opening and marched straight into the gaps in the slightly dispersed ranks of the human Allied forces.

"Oh no! This is an alien trap!"

The twenty-one leaders of the human alliance naturally noticed the change in the battle situation immediately and had to adjust and shrink their battle lines.

"We are abandoning this competition to seal the star!"

One of the dark-faced men directly relayed a message to the leader of the allied forces of the three top races.

There was naturally no reply.

But that wasn't his real purpose; it was to shake the spirits of those non-leadership, king-like warriors.

With such a treasure before them, and humanity indeed beginning to retreat, the slightest hesitation from these majority of alien kings could change the course of the war.

Such a momentous event as the union of the three races could not have gone unreported by the human spies infiltrating the alien races.

The only possibility is that this was a last-minute decision by the leaders of the three races. And it's highly likely that the changes were caused by the existence of the Seven Sword Kings and the Blade River King.

This means that it is impossible to mobilize the people below in a short period of time.

The three alien races are in a competitive position with each other, and there are many individuals who have deep-seated hatred for each other.

Aside from the leader's confidants who can execute orders without hesitation, no one else could possibly forget their own frictions and cooperate perfectly upon hearing instructions.

In that moment of hesitation, the Seven Swords King had already unleashed his trump card.

By combining the power of his subordinates, the seven swords merged into one, transforming into a dazzling giant sword. Under its full power, it slashed down at lightning speed, instantly killing over a thousand powerful kings and cleaving open a bright path.

At the same time, an ancient golden pool spun in the air, and a golden shield with the image of a huge monster floating on top enveloped the core of the human alliance of thousands of people, devouring the terrifying energy generated by the machine race's surprise attack.

Meanwhile, the attack on the core of the human alliance was quietly thwarted.

But Luo Feng was facing a perilous situation.

Originally, Luo Feng was positioned in the core position not only to be responsible for local command, but also for safety, so that he wouldn't be attacked immediately.

However, the disparity in military strength between the enemy and ourselves is too great now, and such a position is extremely awkward when we are fleeing and retreating.

The human alliance was defeated, and many who were on the edge of the battlefield either fell into the void or retreated to other forbidden spaces through new pathways created by the collapse of the void portal.

The formation of the powerful kings who were originally at the forefront has been shattered.

Fortunately, those who have reached the King level have strong survival abilities. Unless they are surrounded and hunted by more than ten times their number of enemies, most of them should be able to escape after paying a heavy price.

This was not a clever collaboration between the three top clans; rather, it was a case of kicking a man when he's down, a desperate hunt for profit.

"Damn it, the demon race is coming over too. Do they think I'm an easy target?"

Luo Feng gritted his teeth.

But he knew in his heart that in the eyes of the alien races, his battle zone was indeed an easy target.

Not long after his squad began fighting and retreating, countless Zerg troops poured out from the world rings of the Zerg faction's King-level squad, directly dividing the human battlefield.

More than a hundred of his teammates who had been crowned kings died tragically, many of whom were his close friends from the past century.

"Damn it! Zerg, demons!"

The thought of his comrades dying tragically made Luo Feng's eyes bloodshot, and his killing intent surged wildly.

But at this point, he himself was somewhat in a precarious situation.

The reason he hadn't yet summoned the golden-horned behemoth hidden in the ring was because the Wu-killing wings were still on his body.

He was unwilling to reveal the true form of the Golden Horned Beast, as this would easily lead people to associate him with the Golden Horned Beast's ability to create clones, which would have many drawbacks.

Moreover, now that humans can wear the King's Armor, their actual combat strength is not too far behind that of the Golden Horned Beast.

Human beings can reach the limit of kingship in terms of combat power, while the Golden Horned Beast, wearing the Wu-Slaying Wings, has combat power close to that of an invincible king.

If one is truly invincible and crowned king, one can turn the tide of the battle in this local situation. But being close to being invincible and crowned king is ultimately a bit lacking.

Luo Feng knew that he was being targeted by the Zerg, and it was very likely that they had discovered something amiss with his identity and were after him with the intention of causing his true demise.

You must keep your cards hidden.

Luo Feng's face was ashen. Every time he used the Wu Yuyi sword or his longsword to strike, countless Zerg soldiers and enemy Marquis-level Immortals and Immortal Army Lords fell, their numbers too numerous to count.

"what!"

Luo Feng frowned. Not far away, the Heavy Arrow King let out a miserable scream. The precious Purple Bell was sent flying hundreds of kilometers away by several immortal insect kings whose muscles swelled up like bulging mosquitoes. It had lost control of the bell.

On the other side, the Zhenfeng Star was fully revealed, and the allied forces of various races once again dispersed into many small teams to fight for it.

The human camp has basically given up the fight. Most of them, including top experts such as the Seven Sword Kings, are rapidly approaching to provide reinforcements, but they are intercepted by elites from some of the demon and insectoid camps, resulting in another bloody battle that can be described as a meat grinder.

Luo Feng had already confirmed that when he was facing the Zerg army head-on, the main force of the human camp was simply unable to provide reinforcements in time and quickly abandoned the idea of ​​seeking help from others.

"I need to find an opportunity to enter the World Ring and release the Golden Horned Beast clone."

"It has to be an opportunity that makes the fact that the Golden Horned Beast's clone had been 'hiding and not making a move' extremely valuable."

If the Golden Horned Beast's previous dormancy was meaningless, anyone could guess its connection with the main body.

But soon he realized that he didn't need to think about it anymore.

Ugh—.

A piercing buzz seemed to cleave the noisy battlefield in two.

A massive, colorful flying wheel ripped through the fragile spacetime wall of the void passage and sped straight into the battlefield.

In a short time, thousands of kings perished, including several truly invincible kings!

As if by coincidence, the colorful flywheel, which flew along an arc, quietly passed over the local battlefield where Luo Feng was as it returned to its owner's hand, slicing and cutting down a large number of immortal insectoid warriors. The terrifying Yin-Yang and Five Elements laws rapidly invaded the divine body from the cut surface, instantly annihilating and dissipating these insectoid warriors.

This sudden turn of events plunged the entire battlefield into silence.

The latest novel is first published here!

"It's...it's that monster!"

"Death Wheel King!"

"That devil is here!"

Countless alien races that were on the opposite side of humanity cried out in terror.

Luo Feng received a similar message in his ears, and his expression was momentarily dazed.

He composed himself and looked at the figure whose body was surrounded by spinning wheels that were rotating at high speed.

"Is he the infamous Death Wheel King, feared by all other races?"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Luo Feng's eyes.

He had heard many rumors about the Death Wheel King, but this was the first time he had seen him in person.

Contrary to the legends of his ferocious appearance, with long, narrow fangs and a look like a reincarnation of Asura, the real Death Wheel King had an ordinary, unremarkable human face.

Luo Feng did not associate the other party with Hunzhen as he did with the String Sword King.

The two are so different in their fighting styles, main weapons, and even the types of laws they use that it is impossible for a normal person to connect them.

This is also the thought of most creatures active in the extraterritorial battlefields.

It was this preconceived notion that allowed Hunzhen to conceal his true identity so well.

Luo Feng was observing the Death Wheel King, thinking to himself that seeing is believing, when he was surprised to find that the other party glanced at him.

"Is it just my imagination...?"

Luo Feng was filled with doubt and surprise, but he quickly attributed it to excessive self-awareness, because after that fleeting glimpse, Hunzhen had already manipulated the flying wheel and joined the main battlefield for the struggle to seal the star.

……

Hunzhen, who had been rushing all the way, recognized Luo Feng at a glance as soon as he entered the Void Passage War Zone, which was on the verge of collapse.

After all, once Luo Feng settled on the identity of "King of the Blade River" to operate in the outer battlefield, he did not change his appearance again.

Even though the Wu-killing wings could conceal his presence, he still immediately detected the other party's existence thanks to his powerful mental strength and computational abilities.

The joy of meeting an old friend on the battlefield is even greater than that of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, but Hunzhen was not foolish enough to actively increase Luo Feng's status and weight, thereby attracting unnecessary attention.

"Visiting my junior brother" was just Yu Xing's purpose. His main purpose in coming here was to reap the fruits of his efforts over the past century in this rare and unprecedented battle.

……

"Death Wheel King!!!"

Compared to the lower-level alien races who only possessed the strength of a beginner or advanced King and were simply terrified of the Death Wheel King, the ultimate Kings and invincible Kings at the top of the alien races had a different kind of feeling towards Hunzhen.

They were so eager to kill him.

After all, Hunzhen always aimed his attacks at the invincible King-level.

Not to mention the record of killing dozens of invincible kings, the highest number of deaths were actually among the kings at the limit level who were close to the invincible kings.

They are no match for the invincible king, and they are standing in front of Hunzhen to prevent him from reaching the mission quota. If we don't kill them, who else can we kill?

Often, Hunzhen's surprise attack failed to kill the target, the invincible king, but instead slaughtered many of the king-level powerhouses under his command.

These powerful figures who could always stand close to the king under his command were either soul servants or close comrades-in-arms.

As they were slaughtered batch after batch like chickens and cattle, an indelible hatred naturally arose.

"Death Wheel King, you used to be unrestrained and bully the weak, but times have changed!"

A demon king, invincible through gritted teeth, swept his gaze across the faces of the three race leaders, confirming that many of them had suffered at the hands of Hunzhen. His expression hardened, and he declared fiercely, "We have all endured your heinous and inhumane acts. Today, united in purpose, this will be the place where you perish!"

The numerous invincible kings of the human camp, upon seeing Hunzhen suddenly appear and witnessing this scene, all had their expressions shifting.

Finally, the Seven Swords King coldly declared, "As fellow kings of our Hong Alliance, this Death Wheel King has come to our aid upon hearing the news. At this moment, are you all going to stand idly by?"

Upon hearing this, the group of invincible kings nodded in unison.

It is clear that the great war is about to bring about a new change.

Hunzhen, facing a large group of powerful alien beings, suddenly grinned and unleashed his divine power in an instant!

"Don't let him break through the encirclement and reunite with those humans!"

A demon king, invincible, roared and gave the order.

boom--!!!

A loud bang was heard, and a powerful expert at the peak of the King level in the demon race camp suddenly stepped forward, rushed towards the invincible demon king with a strange expression, and then self-destructed on the spot before he could react.

As if in a chain reaction, similar actions were taken by members of the demon race, the insect race, and the mechanical race.

The close-range self-destruction of a King-level expert is comparable to the attack of a Venerable. Even if the invincible Kings are able to defend themselves hastily and not die instantly, it is a wide-open door for Hunzhen, who was prepared in advance.

Colorful streaks of light flashed by at an unprecedented speed.

Hunzhen brought out the full potential of this tactic, which could only be used once and for all.

One-tenth of the original incarnation, burning divine power, already possesses the combat strength of a top-tier high-level cosmic venerable. The Yin-Yang Five Elements Spacetime Wheel has always been its forte in attacking and killing, and its speed is incredibly fast!

This situation is just like harvesting chives.

Dozens of alien kings, invincible and undefeated, had no time to react. In an instant, they died tragically without even making a move to resist.

To be precise, he died from Hunzhen's deceitful scheme.

The Death Wheel King, who has only ever displayed extreme killing methods, actually possesses a subtle and pervasive soul control technique that can deceive even the invincible King-level beings!

Who could have imagined this before this trump card was truly revealed?

It may seem absurd or even ridiculous, but once Hunzhen decides to use this strategy, the alien race will inevitably face such a calamity; it's only a matter of time.

As for learning from this experience and becoming more cautious and vigilant, that's something for later.
