"Lao Liu, not bad, still know to follow Lao Zhong to this place, you have vision." Ding Huan’s gaze fell on Lao Liu.
Lao Liu, who originally was very dissatisfied with Zhong Chi’s attitude, immediately put on a flattering expression upon seeing Ding Huan, chattering a few times, obviously trying to ingratiate himself with Ding Huan.

Zhong Chi snorted, "Lao Liu, after all, it was I who brought you here. You were all arrogant on the way here, but you’re like a grandson in front of Brother Ding."
Lao Liu couldn’t be bothered with him and just glanced at Qi Xinyue beside Ding Huan.
"Lao Zhong, I plan to go straight to these aliens’ den and kill them. You coming is perfect, you can give me a hand." Ding Huan was originally going tomorrow, but since Lao Zhong arrived, he would go today.
The sooner he got there, the less likely he would be discovered.
"Haha, Brother Ding, as long as you think highly of me, I, Lao Zhong, am in it to the end." Zhong Chi thumped his chest with a loud smack.
However, he couldn’t help but look down on Zhu Qijiang in his heart; Lao Zhu even let him follow the Security Department there.
Hehe, following the Security Department there, and now aren’t they just cowering in the Federation trenches?
Following Brother Ding was so much cooler, going straight to the aliens’ den, just thinking about it was refreshing.
"Good, Lao Zhong, you really haven’t let me down. This knife is for you. Let’s go together." Ding Huan grabbed his usual Starry Sky Blade and threw it to Zhong Chi.
"Brother Ding, I have a knife. It’s you who doesn’t have a handy weapon." Zhong Chi hurriedly refused.
"I have weapons, don’t worry about me." Ding Huan waved his hand, not taking back the knife that Zhong Chi tried to return to him.
Now he had the White Hardwood Long Spear, and apart from being a bit sharp, the Starry Sky Blade wasn’t really of much use to him anymore.
"Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony, when do we set off?" Zhong Chi grabbed the Starry Sky Blade and laughed heartily.
Originally, the Starry Sky Blade was collected by the Federation, he didn’t have the money, and could only watch as it was bought by Nian Jinqing.
"Now, of course." Ding Huan sat in the cockpit and had already started up the Blue Star.
At this moment, Ding Huan felt as if he had returned to those days in the starry sky, piloting ship number five and wandering the stars.
The difference now was that he had several companions; back then he was always alone.
The Blue Star spat out a streak of blue light, shooting towards the clouds.
Ding Huan also lamented, compared to the Blue Star, the Security Department’s single-engine fighter was outrageously weak.
If they had a fleet of these kind of combat spaceships, then the Earth Federation Army wouldn’t need to bother resisting.
Even though Ding Huan reduced the speed, the Blue Star only took half an hour to arrive above the alien encampment.
Had he not reduced the speed, he probably would have flown out of Earth by now.
What met his eye were two gargantuan War Discs, no telling what kind of energy source drove these.
Ding Huan quickly maneuvered the Blue Star to stop between the two War Discs.
After stopping the Blue Star, Ding Huan breathed a sigh of relief. He was worried that the Blue Star wouldn’t have stopped before the others took action against it.
"Ting Ti, Ji Yuan, what are you doing? Who allowed you to stop the escort spaceship in between the War Discs?" A shocked and angry voice sounded inside the cabin.
"Lao Zhong, the door of the War Disc on the left is open, I’ll enter there later. You go to the other War Disc, and try to take control of it within the shortest time. Lao Liu and Xinyue stay on the Blue Star."
After speaking, Ding Huan had already opened the hatch door, grabbed the White Hardwood Long Spear, and charged straight into the War Disc through the void.
The two guards at the entrance of the War Disc didn’t even have time to draw their weapons before they were slashed to death by two of Ding Huan’s Wind Blades. Following that, Ding Huan encountered no further obstacles inside the War Disc.
Captain Baru had just received the news from Ting Ti and Ji Yuan, when Ding Huan’s abrupt entry shocked him.
Ding Huan’s descent from the Blue Star, charge onto the War Disc, and killing of the two guards took less than ten seconds in total.
There were twelve people in the conference room. Despite the Zhan Shen base having zero casualties, Captain Baru was still anxious; he was also worried about the Earth’s military forces continuously attacking the Zhan Shen base.
The Zhan Shen base had a light screen to block the endless artillery, but it wasn’t without a cost; the cost was piles of Divine Crystal Stones and Energy Veins.
Each Divine Crystal Stone was of great value in the Zhan Shen Continent, and this consumption amounted to tens of thousands; who could withstand such a loss?
As for the Energy Vein, it was fundamental across the universe; once depleted, the War Disc would be nothing more than junk.
When they conquered Earth, the profits they could earn were uncertain, compared to the investments in the Divine Crystal Stones they had spent.
Because of the shortage of Divine Crystal Stones, in addition to Ting Ti and Ji Yuan, the rest of the leaders from the two other War Discs and one spaceship were present.
They were negotiating on how to minimize losses.
One of the advisors, An Qinger, had suggested that instead of waiting here for the Earth People to keep attacking, it would be better to take the initiative.
Just like when they occupied West Asia, after eliminating all living forces, wouldn’t Earth be under their control?
Baru highly agreed with this suggestion, and they were currently discussing the details of launching an attack.
Since a great battle was imminent, Captain Baru had personally rushed Ting Ti and Ji Yuan twice.
Ding Huan’s entrance was quite timely.
Three of the quick responders had already drawn their Light Killing Crossbows, but Ding Huan was faster, and several Wind Blades had already been hurled forward.
Blood splattered as three headless corpses fell to the ground.
After these three were killed, Ding Huan threw out several more Wind Blades, and then another four people were killed.
The remaining five people didn’t dare to move; Ding Huan’s killing speed was too fast.
Moreover, they had clearly seen that the seven who were killed all shared one trait: they had taken out their Light Killing Crossbows.
"Who are you?" Baru didn’t dare to move his hand, as Ding Huan’s strength far exceeded his estimation of Earth’s powerful warriors.
While he was asking aloud who Ding Huan was, in his heart he was quite clear that Ding Huan was indeed one of Earth’s strong warriors.
"Those without value, step forward." Ding Huan slapped Captain Baru on the neck, and Baru felt as if all the strength in his body had been sucked out, leaving him slumped on the ground.
At this moment, he couldn’t even move a single finger, let alone raise a hand against Ding Huan.
No one stepped forward.
Ding Huan pointed to a tall, skinny older man: "You, come here."
The man hurried over to Ding Huan. In the face of a decisive killer like Ding Huan, there was no room for luck.
"Where is your value?" Ding Huan asked.
The man hurriedly said, "I can command the Undying Spiders. Don’t believe me? Look."
As he spoke, he gestured with his hand, and dozens of Undying Spiders appeared out of thin air around Ding Huan.
Ding Huan saw clearly, though, that these Undying Spiders had shrunk to the size of small black balls and were placed in the corners of the room. At the man’s command, they transformed into two-meter-tall Antenna Monsters.
The others watched the Undying Spiders nervously, knowing that if they caught Ding Huan, his death was certain.
The dozens of Undying Spiders moved in the air as if on cue, flowing like liquid, then they extended hundreds of long legs toward Ding Huan.
It seemed like the legs of the Undying Spiders could stretch indefinitely. Though they were still several meters away from Ding Huan, in an instant, they reached out right before his face.
Ding Huan raised his hand, launching a hundred Wind Blades. He did not sever the legs.
He had learned from Ji Yuan that these Undying Spiders couldn’t be killed by ordinary means and that if he used the method of cutting the legs, it would only cause more trouble for himself.
Once a leg was cut off, it would immediately turn into a small spider and attack Ding Huan again.
After the fight, these small spiders would return to the body of the original spider and merge back into one.
Just as Ding Huan acted, three others grabbed their Light Killing Crossbows.
Previously, nobody was able to use the Light Killing Crossbows to threaten Ding Huan, not because the crossbows weren’t effective, but because they never had the chance to activate them.
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!" Blade Lights flew out, and the dozens of Undying Spiders wrapped around Ding Huan fell from the air like paper mâché under the force of Ding Huan’s Wind Blades, turning into a pile of mush upon hitting the ground.
These Undying Spiders, made of who-knows-what material, turned into a sloppy mess when they fell to the ground.
At the same time, feeling the crisis, Ding Huan twisted his body forcibly, and yet a Light Killing Crossbow still managed to graze his arm and leave a bloody furrow.
Once activated, the Light Killing Crossbow was incredibly fast. Ding Huan only managed to dodge because he sensed the danger in time; otherwise, he was sure he couldn’t have avoided it.
"Crack!" After the Light Killing Crossbow left a bloody furrow on Ding Huan’s arm, it struck the meeting room door behind him, blasting a hole through it.
Ding Huan glared at the man who had fired the crossbow, a short and fat fellow.
Meanwhile, the fat man was even more shocked than Ding Huan.
Not a single one of the dozens of Undying Spiders that had charged at Ding Huan had survived. Clearly, Ding Huan had uncovered the secret to controlling the Undying Spiders.
The man who had summoned the Undying Spiders had his neck split by Ding Huan; his eyes were still wide open, unable to believe what had just happened.
Of the others who had picked up Light Killing Crossbows, only he was still standing. The two beside him hadn’t even managed to activate their hand crossbows before Ding Huan sliced through their necks.
"Not bad, you managed to evade my Sword Light. You’ve got some moves. What’s your name?" Ding Huan suddenly asked.
Just as the fat man was about to reply, a faint killing intent seemed to envelop him, and he frantically backed away.
"Pfft!" A Blade Light that could have severed his wrist instead struck a chair and split it in two.
"Eh, you dodged for the second time. Not bad," Ding Huan said without wasting any more words, and dozens of gun lights blasted from his White Hardwood Spear.
Several Light Killing Crossbows fired from the fat man’s hand, but by then, he couldn’t even discern where Ding Huan was, let alone hit him.
"Crack!" The fat man felt a pain in his wrist, and the next moment, he saw one of his wrists being violently torn off by a gunshot.
Then, two more gun lights hit his other wrist, shredding it.
"Ah..." the fat man let out a piercing scream, collapsing to the ground.
Ding Huan then walked over and kicked him in the face, sending him rolling next to Captain Baru.
This fat man’s strength was probably on par with that of a common Ninth-Level Genetic Cultivator.
"My friend, please have mercy," the fat man pled, his will to survive still strong despite having his hands slashed off by Ding Huan’s White Hardwood Spear.
"Just now, I asked that old man what his survival value was, and he summoned the Undying Spiders for me to see.
How careless, eh? It resulted in three more deaths, and it cost you your hands."
Ding Huan spoke with a tone of reproach.
The fat man nodded quickly, "Yes, yes, he was blind for daring to attack a friend."
"Right, your eyes don’t seem too bright either," Ding Huan hummed in agreement.
"Exactly, I was blind too, but now I see clearly. I can be of great value to a friend," the fat man replied, speaking even faster than Ji Yuan had before.
"I don’t see it," Ding Huan said, finding a chair to sit down, while sweeping up the Divine Crystal Stones from inside the bodies of the Undying Spiders he had killed.
Ding Huan pocketed these Divine Crystal Stones, and with another sweep of his hand, ten pouches landed in his hands.
These ten pouches belonged to the ten people he had just killed, each containing their most valuable possessions.
"Friend, my name is Zang Yuding Grey. I control another War Disc, and I can switch the controller to you," Zang Yuding Grey said obsequiously, with no hint of anything amiss.
The drained Captain Baru yelled out, "Zang Yuding Grey, are you seeking death? How dare you speak such words? Do you understand the consequences of your actions?"
"Baru, if it weren’t for you, would we have ended up in this state?" Zang Yuding Grey no longer held any respect for Captain Baru.
Ding Huan sarcastically remarked, "Baru, it seems you’re the one looking for death right now. Zang Yuding Grey might still face consequences, but you might not even get that far."
