CHAPTER 994: CHAPTER 992: YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN

"Disconnected? What do you mean? Explain yourself!" Moss pressed, but his communicator seemed to suddenly be cut off by something, and he could no longer hear Qi Ya’s voice.

"Old man, I’m giving you a chance," Zhang Menglong said, "In light of your remaining bit of prestige, if you pull back now, I can pretend nothing happened. But if you’re stubborn, my favorite thing is dealing with those who think they’re capable."

"Give me a chance? Based on your puppets? If they’re all destroyed, even if you don’t feel the pain, I will." In Moss’s mind, these things already belonged to them, and any damage was a loss to their own interests.

"Since you’re persistent, today there are only three possibilities: either you kill me, or I kill you. As for the third... hehe," a slight curve appeared at the corner of Zhang Menglong’s mouth, "Little Black!"

A force from the void erupted, instantly neutralizing Moss’s power.

Zhang Menglong immediately escaped that force’s confinement, "MMP, this aura almost suffocated me. Can you endure this?

"What is this?" Even Moss was slightly unnerved by this force.

Before he could discern what was in the rift, a pitch-black arm emerged from it, stretching several hundred meters, covered in scale-like armor, as if from an ancient Demon God.

The massive fist slammed straight towards Moss, and the power was so strong it made the entire rocky planet tremble.

Boom!

"Level Nine Life Forms?" Moss’s eyes twitched slightly, immediately reacting as fast as he could, crossing his arms in front of his chest, standing small like an ant before the fist ten times larger than his body.

Whoosh! Moss’s body flew backward several hundred meters before barely stabilizing himself, a faint golden glow circulating on him as he utilized a defensive Martial Dao secret technique to withstand the punch.

At this moment, he finally saw what was blocking him: an enormous creature over a thousand meters tall, its power surprisingly thicker than his own!

"This is Zuda Civilization’s strongest artificial weapon!" In another space, six other Level Nine Life Forms immediately thought of this entity.

With their limited data, Zuda Civilization’s strongest artificial weapon was a colossal giant with the power to destroy the world, potentially exceeding the peak of Level Nine Life Forms!

"Indeed, he has obtained all of Zuda Civilization’s treasures!"

"What a lucky guy, he’s benefited so much."

"This is troublesome. With this thing, leaving him today won’t be easy."

"Not necessarily," another Level Nine Life Form said, "Summoning such a strong creature must come at a cost. According to our civilization’s Zuda research experts, the cost is either great energy or life force."

"This isn’t an inanimate puppet weapon; this creature has its own consciousness and likely requires life force. But as a mere Level Five Life Form, how much life force can he expend?"

"You have a point!"

...

"Did you get this from Zuda Civilization’s treasure vault?" Moss casually shook his numbed hand, truly unable to handle Zhang Menglong with this strange creature.

"It’s thanks to your civilization’s people," Zhang Menglong laughed, "that guy Qi Ya gifted it to me. Isn’t it quite handy? Come, Little Black, show him a handstand."

With astonished eyes, the gigantic creature, labeled as Zuda Civilization’s most formidable fighting weapon, obediently began performing a handstand!

"Moss, how strong is this thing?" the other Level Nine Life Forms immediately inquired. If a big price was needed to contain Zhang Menglong, they might just have to let him go today.

"Very strong, at least in pure physical power, far surpassing me. I’m not its match alone."

"Moss, summoning this thing must deplete life force. Once his life runs out, we’ll have a chance."

"Deplete? Does he look like his life force can run out? Just say you want me dead!" Moss nearly screamed this sentence.

They knew this principle, but normally, one would treasure time if life force had to be paid to summon such a creature for battle. Who would dally with him in such a situation? It should be quick and decisive.

He glanced at Zhang Menglong, whose face clearly said "I don’t fear wasting time with you." Against the Phantom Star Beast, he could perhaps endure for a few minutes; longer might mean death!

"This isn’t your opinion alone, is it?" Zhang Menglong said, "Where are the others watching the show? Let them come out!"

"You’re the bravest young person we’ve met!" Realizing they were exposed, the remaining Level Nine Life Forms no longer hid, appearing directly before Zhang Menglong.

"You’re the kindest philanthropists I’ve ever met," Zhang Menglong said jokingly.

Clearly, they didn’t take the term "philanthropists" to heart. It’s no secret that Ritian Sect people enjoy spouting empty words.

"Are you going to gang up?" Zhang Menglong signaled Little Black, who surprisingly posed in a Wing Chun stance, "I want to fight ten!"

"Let him go!" A few seconds later, the resigned voices of several Level Nine Life Forms next to Moss were heard, "With this thing around, even if we wish to kill him, it would cost us greatly, and maybe even lose one or two of us, it’s not worth it."

"Indeed, since he became Zuda Civilization’s successor, we’ve lost our chance."

"You can go!" They shook their heads; they couldn’t handle Zhang Menglong anymore.

"Leave?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "I’m not one to simply come and go at your words. Wouldn’t I lose face?"

"What do you mean?" Moss said, "We’re letting you go not because we’re afraid of you. You’d better quit while you’re ahead."

"Have you gotten forgetful in your old age?" Zhang Menglong said, "I just said, today it’s either you kill me, or I kill you. When have my words been child’s play?"

"Ritian Sect, clear the field!"

"Yes!" All the Super God Academy students began chanting.

"Step aside, everyone! Ritian Sect is conducting business, please leave immediately, respect the fifty-fifty deal I’m asking for."

"The upcoming scenes may be explicit and violent, possibly not passing review, we recommend you don’t watch."

"Go!" At this point, anyone else from other civilizations who didn’t leave was brainless, this spectacle wasn’t for everyone. A battle of Level Nine Life Forms could easily destroy an entire Star System.

...

"You want to kill us?" The seven life forms wore a half-serious smile; truthfully, they were very reluctant to clash directly with Zhang Menglong.

"Of course, you still have a third option," Zhang Menglong said, "You know what I mean!"
