Chapter 2078: Blood Hunter

Good, good, good, Lord Lin An, why are you so agitated?"

"We have someone watching us from behind."

In his own civilization, no longer suffering the humiliation he felt when facing Lin An, Qing Kai feigned alarm, waving his hand, and then slowly withdrew his own Wen Ya.

Seeing the crowd in disarray under the pressure, he felt only relief in his heart.

In the skull realm, he couldn't unleash his power. But in reality, he naturally wanted to let this bunch of monkeys know what a Star Destroyer is!

If it weren't for genuinely fearing Lin An, his methods wouldn't be just this little!

"Someone's watching?"

"Qing Kai, do you really think I don't dare fight you to the death? Exchanging a fourth-stage for a Star Destroyer, I think it's worth it!"

Holding aloft the diffusion prop in his hand, Lin An had no intention of retreating, utterly rejecting Qing Kai's threat! He knew Qing Kai wouldn't dare gamble!

As expected, seeing Lin An about to crush the prop the next second, drawing the attention of the entire star sector, Qing Kai's face sank; the joy that had just risen in his heart was instantly replaced by killing intent.

"Lord Lin An, I was wrong."

"But I too had no choice; as a Star Destroyer guiding you lot of fourth-stage beings, I had to do some things."

Quickly changing his attitude, Qing Kai forced out a smile, suppressing the killing intent in his heart.

"You needn't think I'm deceiving you."

"You should have noticed that in the Creator Alliance, aside from our own clan, other races have very low status. Especially to help you blend into Stellar Glory, you and your companions are war slaves."

"If I received you respectfully and acted completely differently from before, who among the alliance's high-ups wouldn't suspect me? Without your threatening me, just this alone would be enough to make me drink a pot."

Bowing slightly, Qing Kai looked at Lin An with sincerity, then tilted his head slightly, indicating Lin An look toward the celestial body behind him:

"Don't blame me for not warning you; when you later meet the alliance's seed companions, you'd better endure a bit."

"Otherwise, if problems are discovered, both of us will die."

Having said that, Qing Kai led the way forward, and before everyone's eyes, a colossal warship ten thousand meters long came sailing from afar, as if to escort them to a planet; groups of other races with similar identities also entered under different fifth-stage leaders.

Noticing the war slaves being led away by fifth-stage beings, almost everyone followed behind with a humble expression, even being 'led' to fly.

Seeing this scene, Gao Tian and the others also realized Qing Kai was speaking the truth.

"Captain Lin..?"

His voice bitter, Gao Tian anxiously glanced at Lin An, although Qing Kai hadn't said anything further.

But after experiencing just that, they probably also realized that the upcoming ordeal would likely be far from 'pleasant.' If it weren't for Lin An having what Qing Kai needed in his hand, their status would truly be that of slaves.

Putting away Cain's Blade, Lin An fell silent for a moment, then slightly shook his head and calmly said:

"Follow."

"Later, no matter what happens, don't worry."

As his words fell, Lin An no longer wasted time with Qing Kai, directly leading the team to follow.

The sorrow of the weak; with their fourth-stage strength here, they will indeed be looked down upon.

"Lord Lin An, there are still three hours until the Stellar Glory War."

"Later I will first take you and your companions to see another high-level direct descendant of the alliance; once there, if you expose any problems, no one can save you."

"To be frank, I too am taking a great risk."

Inside the warship, Qing Kai solemnly looked at Lin An and slowly spoke.

The matter has come to the final step; his fate is actually already bound to Lin An on the same warship.

Although in his heart he wished to exterminate Lin An's entire clan, letting Lin An die in utmost despair and humiliation, now he can only hope that this damned monkey acts with a bit of reason.

"I know what to do, but after entering, then what? After entering, can anyone see the scene of Stellar Glory?"

"About the seed you mentioned, how strong is he, and will we be on the same team as him?"

Lin An asked calmly, noticing that this warship, including those warships outside the hanging windows, were almost all transporting war slaves.

Just like the strategy of the Stellar Battlefield, high civilizations enslave low ones, using large numbers of cannon fodder to increase their own advantage. Merely the rough count of fourth-stage war slaves he sensed numbered over a thousand.

According to the information Qing Kai previously gave, Lin An suddenly realized that the fifth-stage battlefield within Stellar Glory was likely far more complicated than he had imagined.

Masses of elite fifth-stage and hordes of fourth-stage clashing, the so-called Stellar Glory is nothing less than an enhanced version of the Stellar Battlefield!

"Rest assured, after entering, no one can see what happens inside Stellar Glory. At most it's just point rankings, which we can use to determine contestants' performance via point rankings."

"But you needn't worry about this either, as rankings are calculated by civilization; you'll be quite inconspicuous inside."

Hearing Lin An's implication, Qing Kai smiled and frankly laid it out:

"Rest assured, I believe you can make it out alive. Actually we have no conflict, right? If you truly perform well, after coming out we'll complete our cooperation, and perhaps you'll become one of us in the future."

"By then, they'll all be our own people."

Feigning a hint to Lin An that he wouldn't have designs on Earth after Lin An entered Stellar Glory, Qing Kai finished speaking and pointed to the gradually enlarging surface of the celestial body:

"As for the seed entering together with you?"

"No, not him, but her."

"Blood Armor Descendant, Blood Hunter Ka Lian."

"That is another descendant of a Star Destroyer Peak in our alliance; I get along well with her father, so we're of the same faction."

"Her strength is also considerable, roughly at War Star Peak. To be frank, her background is something even I can't provoke; when you meet her later, you must cooperate. Her temperament is not as good as mine."

"Her?"

Before Lin An could finish hearing, his expression slightly stalled; the next second, accompanied by violent vibrations, a huge metal-feeling planet fortress loomed into view.

Ten minutes later.

Within a war fortress over ten thousand square meters, under the escort of twelve fifth-stage beings, a girl clad in red war armor, with fiery long hair, gazed coldly at Qing Kai leading the crowd in.

The girl's skin was snow-white, wrapped in streamlined lines, her figure slender like a blade-like armor, somewhat resembling Lin An's mutated form.

At the blade's edge, specks of red light glared dazzlingly.

His brows and eyes were cold and ruthless, the flower pattern split open at his glabella, further adding a touch of killing intent.

At a glance, it seemed like a blade in fierce fire, making one's eyes sting just from looking directly at it.

Standing on the high platform, the girl frowned slightly:

"Qing Kai commander, is this the war slave you picked for me?"

"A bunch of trash from a primitive planet?"

Her gaze turned to Lin An, sensing the rule fluctuations he emitted, and a flash of dissatisfied coldness flickered in her blood‑colored pupils.

Barely a Fourth Stage Peak; a Fourth Stage with this strength is really too weak!

With such strength, not to mention being her war slave, even being a dog is unworthy!
