Chapter 170 - The Tables Turn

"Jiang Li, where's your Abusika?"

Thor looked around, realizing Abusika wasn't with Jiang Li, and asked.

"He's outside."

Jiang Li explained, "My teacher is a member of the Universe Mercenary Alliance, and Abusika has to follow the rules of the Universe Mercenary Alliance."

"The Thunder World is an assessment world, and only those below the stellar level are allowed to enter."

Hearing this.

Both Hong and Thor's expressions changed.

"That's a big problem."

Thor immediately said, "There are over a dozen star-level warriors chasing our adventure team…"

"We need to leave immediately."

Hong, supporting his severely injured body, stood up and solemnly tossed his space ring directly to Jiang Li, saying, "Jiang Li, this is for you…"

"If I can't escape, don't worry about me, especially Jiang Li…"

"You absolutely cannot be harmed!"

Jiang Li was strong, but he couldn't withstand so many enemies, especially since they were generally a large realm higher than them.

"That's right, you are the future of Earth!"

Thor and Luo Feng exchanged a look, both understanding Hong's meaning.

As the four strongest individuals on Earth, if they were wiped out here, the future of humanity on Earth might be over.

Hearing this.

Jiang Li was moved and returned the spatial ring to Hong, saying, "Get some rest. I'll handle the rest."

"But, according to our school's rules, I get to take three-tenths of the share when I make a move."

Hong, Thor, Luo Feng: "!!!"

\n\n

Just as Jiang Li was joining Hong and Thor, several kilometers away, the adventurer team pursuing them quickly approached.

The leader was a burly man in black combat attire. He glanced down at the smart optical computer on his wrist and sneered, "I thought they found some powerful help! One is only a Stellar Level 5, and the other is still a Planet Level 9?"

"They're so damn weak!"

Behind him were twelve star-level teammates, each wearing goggles with smart displays. Data flickered across the lenses as they all snickered.

"They got in first, probably dug up a lot of Cosmic Crystals."

"Get them! Surround them, don't let them escape again!"

"Yes!"

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"…

The group quickly closed in, forming three layers to trap Jiang Li and the others against the cliff face.

"It's them?"

Jiang Li raised his eyes to look at the adventurer team surrounding him and asked a question.

"One ninth-step stellar level, the others are all sixth-step powerhouses."

Babata appeared, crossing his legs casually and calmly saying, "With your current combat power, it shouldn't be a problem."

Realm is one thing, combat power is another.

Someone like Jiang Li, who has comprehended the laws, even if he's only at the first step of the stellar level, can still fight against a ninth-step stellar level without the laws.

Moreover.

Jiang Li has comprehended more than one law.

"I'll give you a chance, implant the chips, and I'll spare your lives."

The burly, black-clad man at the front flipped his hand, producing four electronic chips designed to control slaves.

He was quite interested in slaves who possessed a domain.

"Which faction do you belong to?"

Jiang Li looked at the slave chips that were thrown over, his eyes narrowing slightly. He made them hover in front of him and asked, "Black Cloud Society, North Dragon City, or Hundred Tiger Tower?"

"You know quite a bit, huh."

The burly, black-clad man sneered a few times. "Fine, I'll let you know who you're serving! Your master is Kun Palo of the Hundred Tiger Tower."

"Hundred Tiger Tower, is it?"

Jiang Li casually said, "I'll settle the score with the Hundred Tiger Tower later for the price of injuring my friend."

"Oh?"

The burly man in black eyes turned cold: "Looks like you're courting death!"

In an instant.

Four slave chips suddenly burst forth, tracing four strange arcs like lightning towards the surrounding star-level experts.

"Be careful, it's a Controller!"

Even before Jiang Li asked, the twelve star-level sixth-stage experts had already prepared themselves. Having ventured through the universe for many years, they understood the importance of going all out, even when facing a seemingly insignificant opponent. They would never underestimate any enemy.

After all, a moment of carelessness could lead to their demise on the spot.

"Clang," "Clang," "Clang"! All four chips were blocked. As the sounds rang out, the twelve star-level sixth-stage experts almost simultaneously charged, intending to kill Jiang Li, but their bodies suddenly shuddered.

One by one, the grim-faced martial artists split apart, their bodies cleaved. Their heads, still wearing goggles, flew off to the side. They instinctively looked back at their bisected bodies, their faces frozen in terror.

"Impossible!"

The confident, burly man in black had his eyes widen in shock. He sensed a strange ripple in the surrounding space, and nearly screamed, "This is Space Cutting!"

"Damn it!"

Space Cutting! This was a secret technique of space that even those who had just entered the space law might not understand. Yet, this person, only a Star Rank 5, had such a terrifying mastery of the space laws? There were only a few geniuses of this caliber in the entire Qianwu Universe Country!

And he had to run into one?

"Escape!"

Even though the burly man in black was a Star Rank 9, he didn't have the courage to fight.

In that instant, he retreated, fleeing swiftly.

"Think you can escape?"

Jiang Li watched the burly man in black turn into a streak of black light. A cold smile played on his lips. With a blink of his eyes, an invisible pressure erupted within the range of his mental power, and streaks of earthen yellow light converged.

The burly man in black felt as if a planet had slammed into him. He was burdened with a force of hundreds of tons, causing him to crash to the ground instantly, accompanied by a rumbling "Boom" sound.

"Boundless Force??"

"This is the Earth Fundamental Law!!!"

The burly man's face contorted, looking like a ghost. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

A genius of a race who had comprehended two fundamental laws would be an absolute core talent, no matter the organization. Who went out without dozens or hundreds of guards?!

How could it be like Jiang Li, who only brought a planet-level ninth-order underling?

If there were more people, he would never have provoked, or plundered like this!

It was a pity…

Crack!

Space Cutting sliced through, and the burly black-skinned man couldn't accept it even in death!

In just a few dozen seconds, all thirteen of the star-level warriors, including one at the ninth rank, were killed by Space Cutting.

Seeing this scene, the three from Earth were somewhat stunned.

"Damn, isn't this law too overpowered?!"

Thor stared, slapping his bald head.

"It's not that the law is overpowered; it's Jiang Li's comprehension of the law that's insane."

Hong's mouth twitched, but he laughed heartily, "It's really a case of the tables turning. According to the martial school's rules, Jiang Li, you get an extra thirty percent."

"Alright."

Jiang Li readily agreed.

The Limit Martial Arts School's rule was actually quite reasonable. Firstly, it allowed those who helped to do so without any qualms.

Secondly, it saved everyone the trouble of owing favors.

"Heh heh, Jiang Li, don't underestimate that three percent!"

Having dealt with the threat, Thor raised an eyebrow and said, "Hong and I came in a few days ago and dug up over 9,000 cubic meters of Cosmic Crystal, which is more than 20 billion Qianwu Currency!"

"That much?"

Luo Feng exclaimed upon hearing the number.
