“Your Earth is very interesting. It is rich in resources and spiritual qi, has wonderful entertainment, yet ruled by such a weak and frail race, humans.
“What a waste.” Ao Zhen spread his arms.
“As the first commander of the alien army vanguard, I do not wish to see Earth consumed in the flames of war. Let us work together, you and I. You are the strongest human on Earth, you can do anything.
“You work in the light and I in the shadows. Agree and I will order the alien army to withdraw. I only want riches.
“Gold, trinkets, jewels, ores, spiritual qi, I want everything. But I won’t take it all at once. I’ll do it slowly.
“Agree and no alien will step foot on Earth. What do you say?”
Ao Zhen laughed.
“I think you’re a moroon.”
“Why do you say that?”
Li Mo said, “Because. Ao Zhen, I’m guessing you’re no one important in your race, am I right?”
Ao Zhen’s face sank.
Li Mo hit it right on the money. Although he was the majestic third crown prince, but to the Nine-headed race, he had no worth. Not with the royal blood eldest crown prince, and second princess around.
In the Nine-headed race, Ao Zhen was ostracized.
“You think now that they made you a commander of the invasion, they’ll let you wield its power? You think your word has worth?”
“What are you implying?”
“You’re just a cannon fodder, a spare. You can lead the invasion, but have no power to make them retreat.”
“Lies!”
Ao Zhen roared.
“I am the first vanguard commander! My power is beyond your comprehension!”
“If you don’t believe me, you can ask your leader. See if he lets you.”
“He-he, are you trying to make me withdraw the troops?”
“It has nothing to do with me regardless if you can. Let me tell you, I never once cared about this invasion of yours.”
“Ha-ha-ha, how arrogant.”
“Only truth.”
“Fine, see how I’ll give the order right now! Wait and see!”
Ao Zhen took a jade that shined once he used spiritual qi.
This was the product of Nine-headed race’s science. It was just like a cellphone, albeit thousands of times more advanced and could be used anywhere in the universe.
“I have subdued the strongest earthling. He obeys me without fail. I believe there’s no point in attacking Earth now, I am withdrawing.”
“You’re just the vanguard, not the marshal. Ao Zhen, your power is limited to the Nine-headed race and its vassal races. Do you hear me?”
A cold voice came from the jade.
Li Mo squinted.
He knew that voice.
“What? That’s not what you said when you made me commander!”
“Then you can take it up to your old man. Ao Zhen, let me be perfectly clear, the order to attack Earth shall never change. Our objective is the destruction of Earth, not driving them into submission. Do you understand me?
“If you don’t comply, I will have you replaced!”
The jade’s glow faded.
Ao Zhen’s bird face twisted.
Li Mo laughed.
With how large the alien army was, of thousands of races, how could a mere Ao Zhen affect it? This moroon became vanguard commander thinking he had the army at his fingertips. There wasn’t a bigger dumbass out there.
Li Mo said, “What other right do you have to speak terms with me?”
Ao Zhen laughed in anger, “Curses, have the higher ups lost it? Why destroy Earth when there’s no need to?“
“Was that God Huo?”
Ao Zhen jerked, “How did you know?”
Li Mo smiled, “I remember his voice.”
God Huo was from the Divine Fire race, one of the ten strong races. He was the uncle of Huo Ling’er, the one he taunted and mocked in the ancient battleground.
God was no name, but a tittle. Just how eight level being were called Almighty Ascent, the ninth level ones were called Saints and the tenth level Gods.
The past God Huo had hunted down Li Mo for a century to get the Staff of Origin. If not for the many life saving tricks and items, he’d long since be dead. Until one day, when Li Mo came upon a young master from the Earth Fire race, they became friends and taught him Pyrokinesis. Only then God Huo gave up and returned to Divine Fire Planet.
If not for the path of eternal life suddenly appearing, Li Mo would’ve went to Divine Fire Planet and killed them all.
“Ao Zhen, you still have the power to talk terms with me.”
Li Mo added, “Tell me who is the mastermind behind the alien invasion and I will spare you.”
“Spare me?”
“Ha-ha-ha…” Ao Zhen’s nine bird heads were all wobbling in laughter.
“I am not my brother and sister’s match but few are those that can contend me on Nine Origins Planet.
“Li Mo, I wanted us to work together not out of respect for you, but for that Dorag there!”
Ao Zhen turned to the cub. He never cared of Li Mo, only of the black kitty.
Bestial Galaxy was barbaric in every sense of the word. Offending any would bring a swift and gruesome war to his race.
If not for that black tiger cub’s claw wound earlier, he would’ve long since killed Li Mo.
“In the face of the universe’s races, what do you humans amount to? He-he, from what I saw, those among you that reached the sixth level are a rarity.
“You are weak, you are ephemeral. You are barely stronger than even snow people!”
“Tone down the boasting.
“I take it you do not want to tell me?”
Ao Zhen snorted, “You’ll have to pry it from me first, if you have the power!
“Bestial Galaxy’s Dorag, you saw it. It was this human challenging me first.”
“Who the hell cares.” The kitty cursed, burring his head in Ye Xiaolu’s bountiful buxom. He sure liked the softness.
“Good.” Ao Zhen’s heart eased. He didn’t want to mess with any Dorag.
As for Li Mo, he snorted and flew.
“We’ll fight in the sky.”
His gorgeous carriage and many, many other valuables were around. He didn’t want them ruined.
Li Mo flew as well.
Ao Zhen’s nine bird heads swayed, then shot lights from his jaws.
Bam~
The nine beams landed and threw Li Mo ten meters back.
“Ha-ha-ha, puny human, your death is nigh. You only have yourself to blame for it!”
Ao Zhen focused for longer and shot much thicker beams this time…
