Chapter 3865: The team expands
Shi Deze looked at Ling Han in shock. ‘Are you really ranked in the 100,000s on the Galaxy Network?’
“Are you sure?”
Ling Han cracked a smile, “What is it? Feeling like you’ve bitten a hard nut?”
That really was the case.
A string of curses raced through Shi Deze’s mind. ‘You’re far too good at showing off, aren’t you? You’re clearly powerful enough to rival me, yet your ranking in the Galaxy Network is only around 100,000. Aren’t you afraid of showing off too much and being struck by lightning?’
“You’re cursing me in your heart.” Ling Han shook his head, and said, “I despise people like you. You have to understand that it’s extremely immoral to speak ill of others in secret.”
Then how much better would it be for you to show off like this?
Though Shi Deze was filled with wariness towards Ling Han, it was not to the extent that he feared him. He asked coldly, “So what about it?”
“I’m naturally going to thrash the one who does it.” Ling Han smiled, and suddenly burst out with power.
How powerful was he? How could Shi Deze withstand such an explosive burst of power? Instantly, he was pressed onto the ground, and served with a flurry of punches.
Seeing this scene, everyone was shocked speechless.
Shi Deze was ranked in the 700s in the Galaxy Network. He could be regarded as one of the super geniuses in any galaxy. However, in front of Ling Han, he couldn’t fight back at all and was beaten like a punching bag.
Then, they turned to look at Li Zisuan.
Judging by Ling Han’s tone, Li Zisuan was even more powerful than him. Just how powerful would he be then?
Li Zisuan was also very confused.
He knew that Ling Han was very strong, but had definitely not foreseen that he would be this strong.
However, with so many people staring at him, he couldn’t reveal any flaws, right?
Thus, his nonchalant expression made people think that he was even stronger than Ling Han, and that was why he didn’t take it to heart at all.
In this way, everyone looked at him with even more reverence.
As expected of a fierce man who could battle Lu Qi for 500 rounds. Just look at that scar, exuding such a powerful and heroic aura.
Ling Han only pummeled him for a while before withdrawing. There was no animosity between him and Shi Deze, and he was only a little annoyed that the latter wanted to chase him out, and that was why he had pummeled him.
“Alright, we’re all here to adventure. It’s unknown whether we’ll be in trouble or good fortune now. It’s better to unite and face unknown dangers together.” Li Zisuan mediated.
Now that his identity was completely different, his words naturally carried a lot of weight, causing the people on both sides to nod endlessly. They felt that not only was this person’s abilities unfathomable, he was also benevolent and generous, which was rare.
In a sparring match in martial arts, it was very normal for one’s skill to be inferior. Shi Deze also very quickly returned to normal. He had already believed in Li Zisuan’s “identity”. This was a man that could challenge Lu Qi, and was much, much stronger than him. And once he was strong to the point that others could only look up to him, even if he was defeated by the latter, that could still be considered an honour.
―Though he had actually lost to Ling Han.
Thus, it wasn’t long before the animosity between them disappeared. They silently waited for the super storm to end before setting off together and continuing to advance.
The environment here was really too terrible. In the evening, they encountered another great storm, and had no choice but to go to another valley to hide. Now, it was already late, so they simply decided to rest here for a night.
Not long after they entered into the valley, another team quickly entered into the valley to hide.
Li Zisuan immediately stepped out, calling on everyone to unite.
At first, the opposing team was not on good terms with them, but as Shi Deze and Geng Xing came out respectively to explain, “convincing others with virtue”, this team was instantly convinced.
Coincidentally, a few more people entered the valley at night. They had all come alone, and had also been recruited into this team.
There would always be those who were ambitious, unwilling to be a lackey, and wanted to challenge Li Zisuan. In the end, Shi Deze, Geng Xing and the others moved, and easily suppressed him, causing Li Zisuan’s prestige to become higher and higher.
You see, even Shi Deze, an elite that was ranked more than seven hundred in the Galaxy Network, was willing to be inferior to him, so what did they have to be dissatisfied about? On the second day, they continued onwards.
This time, they were relatively lucky. They didn’t encounter any great storms for an entire day.
However, they didn’t encounter a single valley on their way, and at night, they started a large bonfire to prepare dinner.
Because there were so many people, the atmosphere was naturally lively, especially after they had drunk some wine. Everyone was fawning madly on Li Zisuan, and Li Zisuan had been pretending all this while. He had become accustomed to it, and began to boast about the great battle between himself and Lu Qi. Those five hundred moves were vividly described by him, fierce and exciting, and they caused everyone to exclaim endlessly in shock.
Ling Han listened from the sidelines, and smiled internally. Going by how Li Zisuan was going on like this, this guy’s fame would definitely become bigger and bigger. When Lu Qi heard about this, who knew what kind of expression he would have.
-The reason why he would cover for Li Zisuan’s lie was actually because of this simple
mischief.
Everyone was making a fuss, and toasting one another. It was very lively.
In the middle of the night, they finally finished drinking, and all of them fell asleep.
The next morning, the sun rose, and the temperature immediately soared, waking everyone
up one by one.
They all sat cross-legged and cultivated, but there were also people practicing fist techniques. This was also a kind of cultivation method. Half an hour later, everyone packed up and prepared to set out.
“Yi, why is there one less person?” Li Zisuan’s eyes wandered around, and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.
Everyone counted heads. There was really one person missing. His name was Huang Liang. He did not come as part of a group, but rather blended into the group all by himself. “Strange, Huang Liang was still drinking with us yesterday. It can’t be that he left alone,
right?” someone said.
Someone flew on a Tool, and when they arrived at a higher altitude, they looked around, but
did not find anything.
“Forget it. Perhaps he doesn’t want to be with us.”
“Let’s go.”
Everyone set out, and Ling Han was a little surprised. Li Zisuan was quite a responsible leader,
wasn’t he? These people were all unfamiliar with him, and he could actually tell that someone
was missing with a single glance.
Ling Han fell into deep thought. Though he had also fallen asleep, his divine sense was sensitive. If there was the slightest movement, he would immediately be awakened, but he
did not sense anything at all.
Had Huang Liang really left on his own?
This desert seemed to be shrinking in size. In the afternoon, they encountered another team, consisting of fourteen people. Shi Deze stepped out, and successfully subdued this group of
people, uniting under the leadership of Li Zisuan.
Unintentionally, they also said that there were originally fifteen of them, but one of them had
left this morning.
Everyone hurriedly asked, and the result was that the situation on both sides was the same. They had both only discovered that the person had quietly disappeared in the morning.
Yi, so coincidental?
That night, no one dared to drink anymore. Instead, they arranged for sentry guards to take
turns keeping watch.
However, on the morning of the second day, something happened again. Not only were there
fewer people, there were three of them missing.
This was a huge problem.
Was this a ghost? Three people had suddenly disappeared into thin air?
Everyone felt their hair stand on end.
