Chapter 295 - 276: Frenzied Slaughter
Chapter 295: Chapter 276: Frenzied Slaughter
The Netherworld Ghost Cave is the core of the talent [Netherworld Ghost Contract]
The time flow inside the cave differs a hundredfold from reality; the Soul Body undergoes slow transformation and growth, which can be accelerated by infusing Mental Energy.
Moreover, the Soul Sealing Seal in Qin Tian’s hand, along with the [Ghost King Secret Scripture], can greatly enhance Karsas’s growth speed and combat abilities.
Karsas, with considerable Spiritual Power, reaches the level of a Tier Four Spirit Mage. After becoming undead, instead of diminishing, his Spiritual Power increases. After some cultivation, he can easily break through to the Tier Five level.
With Karsas’s backup data placed in the Spirit Space, Qin Tian flashed to the cockpit and took a glance at the battle map first.
The three strongmen from the Hundred Hunt Star Thieves detained 10 Shadow Blade destroyers, but the remaining five continued to attack the ship. Judging by the remaining Energy Shield value, soon the shield will be destroyed, and the hatch will be violently breached.
Before the Spiritualist troops can enter the ship, he needs to kill as many Star Thieves as possible in the limited time available, accumulating talent and Evolution Points.
Whoosh~
Silver light suddenly flickered, and Qin Tian’s figure appeared ghost-like in the Bloody Arena.
A hellish scene unfolded before his eyes.
Hundreds of Star Thieves were in chaos; some were kneeling, clutching their throats, coughing blood, others were frantically tearing at their protective suits, while more stood frozen in terror.
Corpses lay strewn across the metal floor, blue-black faces twisted in grimaces, thick black blood formed streams on the ground, emitting a pungent stench.
When Qin Tian suddenly appeared, everyone’s gaze fell squarely on him.
"It’s you!"
Feilake’s pupils contracted; despite the change in attire, he recognized Qin Tian immediately.
This Barbarian, wasn’t he already killed by Sibada?
"Feilake, and you bunch of bastards."
Cold killing intent erupted from Qin Tian’s eyes, his voice like piercing polar wind: "It’s time to settle your sins."
His gaze swept over those distorted faces of fear, each eye contact caused the Star Thieves to feel as if falling into an icy abyss.
"Do you remember the Royal Soldiers you tortured to death?"
"Do you remember the innocent civilians used as experimental subjects?"
"Those slaves slaughtered by you in the arena..."
With each sentence, Qin Tian’s voice grew colder.
"Now, it’s time to pay your debt."
Feilake roared fiercely, muscle swelling, metallic luster surfacing on his skin—he was a Gold Element Spiritualist, proud of his steel body.
"Stop pretending to be gods and ghosts!"
He roared furiously, charging at Qin Tian, each step leaving deep imprints on the metal floor,
"Die!"
Qin Tian neither dodged nor evaded, just coldly watched him.
Just as Feilake’s fist was about to hit the face—
"Slap!"
A slender hand casually caught the punch strong enough to shatter armor.
"What?!" Feilake’s eyes widened, unable to believe his full-force strike was so easily blocked.
Qin Tian’s fingers slowly tightened, and Feilake’s steel fist emitted a tooth-grinding "creak."
"Crunch!"
Feilake’s fist was crushed, white bones piercing through skin, blood gushing out.
Before he could scream out, Qin Tian’s knee slammed heavily into his abdomen.
"Urgh—"
Feilake spat out a mouthful of blood mixed with organs, collapsing to the ground.
He was horrified to find his impervious steel body seemed like paper in front of this man.
Qin Tian looked down at him from above without a trace of warmth in his eyes: "Rest assured, I won’t let you die too easily."
As he spoke, a green vine slowly wrapped around Feilake’s neck...
Witnessing this scene, the Star Thieves around completely collapsed.
Their respected Feilake, who was like a Demon God in their hearts, was powerless like an infant before this man.
Who knows who first took the lead, but the survivors began to flee in all directions, completely losing the courage to resist.
But how could Qin Tian let them have their way?
"Trying to escape?" he sneered, snapping his fingers.
All exits were immediately sealed off by rampant vines, turning the entire arena into a vast death prison. Those trying to break through the walls were invariably caught by the vines.
"Don’t rush," Qin Tian surveyed the desperate Star Thieves, his voice gentle yet eerily chilling, "one by one."
"Your blood debt..."
"Shall be repaid with your lives."
Vines pierced the bodies of Star Thieves, extracting their blood and Energy.
"Ugh ugh~"
The Star Thieves struggled desperately, but couldn’t shake off Jie La’s binding.
Qin Tian held the vine as dark purple Celestial Punishment Divine Thunder quickly conducted along the vine branches, falling on the Star Thieves.
Fizz fizz fizz~
Except for Feilake, all the Star Thieves were electrified, smoke emanating from their bodies, their vitality rapidly fading away.
Those killed by Jie La, Qin Tian couldn’t gain any Evolution Points or talents from them.
That’s why his current combat strategy was to let Jie La assist, control the enemies, then personally execute them, maximizing efficiency and gains.
On the other side, Feilake’s neck was wrapped twice by vines, mouth agape, face reddened like an oxygen-deprived, suffocating fish, dark purple electric light flashing on his body, his internal strength continually extracted.
His eyeballs protruded, showing deep fear and despair, he asked with difficulty:
"Who... who are you really?"
Qin Tian pressed his hand against Feilake’s forehead and said calmly:
"The one who will end you."
ZZZZ...
Dark purple lightning burst from his palm, instantly destroying Feilake’s cerebral nerves.
At that moment, Qin Tian’s chest felt slightly cold; the powerful suction from the Netherworld Ghost Cave absorbed all the mental energy released by the star thief’s death.
From the Ghost Cave, a deep, raspy voice of Karsas sounded.
"Only through more death can true eternity be nurtured."
"You, my friend, have truly become a poet."
Qin Tian chuckled.
Jie La extracted flesh and energy, while Karsas absorbed souls; thinking of it this way, the two of them were indeed a perfect match, maximizing the value of the enemy.
Oh, seems like I’ve forgotten someone...
Ah, there’s Kazik too.
Kazik will take charge of the hunt.
With a flash of silver light, Qin Tian disappeared from the scene.
...
Minutes later
"Boom—"
Along with the ear-piercing sound of metal being torn apart, the spaceship’s hatch was forcibly ripped open by a special breach device designed by the Royal Military.
Five fully armed spiritualist squads pierced in like sharp blades, followed closely by hundreds of elite warriors, the charging sounds of energy rifles transformed into a continuous symphony within the corridor.
"Team A, take control of the cockpit!"
"Team B, sweep the left-wing passage!"
"Team C, search and rescue any possible survivors!"
The commander’s orders were relayed over tactical headsets rapidly, yet when the warriors breached the interior of the spaceship, the anticipated fierce resistance did not occur—
Scattered throughout the passage lay the bodies of star thieves.
These normally ferocious thugs now curled up on the ground in hideous postures, their skin displayed an eerie bluish-gray tint, with black blood dried at the corners of their mouths.
What was even more shocking was that their corpses almost covered every passageway, the deeper into the spaceship, the thicker they were piled.
"Report... Area B clean-up complete, no resistance encountered."
"Area C found a few surviving star thieves, all have lost combat capability..."
"Area D... Oh, heavens, it’s like a slaughterhouse here..."
The reports from various teams echoed through the communication channels, each with an unmistakable tone of shock.
Warriors advanced, their boots sticking to pools of thick blood, eyes behind combat helmets filled with vigilance and confusion—how could this infamous group of star thieves have been dismantled from within?
When the main forces pushed to the central region of the spaceship, the sight before them made everyone halt simultaneously—
Within the hundred-meter wide circular hall, the corpses piled up like a mountain.
In the center of this mountain and sea of blood, a tall figure stood with his back to the entrance.
His foot stood atop the last few twitching star thieves, holding a black battle sword in hand. Hearing footsteps, the man slowly turned around, his cold face splattered with a few droplets of undried blood.
"Be on guard!"
Hundreds of energy rifles instantly aimed at this dangerous individual.
Yet the next second—
"Snap!"
The man swiftly performed a Royal Army salute, his voice steady and powerful:
"Colonel Qin Tian of the Seventh Bureau Special Action Team, greetings to fellow comrades."
Dead silence filled the scene.
The leading Lieutenant Colonel’s eyes widened, the identity recognition system on his tactical goggles flashing furiously, eventually displaying a bright red "Verification Passed."
Qin Tian.
He was the Seventh Bureau officer who infiltrated the Hundred Hunt Star Thieves and transmitted real-time locations to the command headquarters—Qin Tian.
From the firefight between the battleship and spaceship to this moment, in such a short time, he had nearly annihilated the entire Hundred Hunt Star Thieves single-handedly!
Warriors collectively fell into an almost suffocating shock.
Their hands holding guns trembled slightly, their eyes behind tactical goggles widened like saucers. Several warriors even unconsciously took half a step back, as if standing before them was not a comrade, but a primordial beast cloaked in human form.
"Drip—"
A sweat drop from someone fell onto the metallic floor, unusually distinct in the silent hall.
The Lieutenant Colonel’s throat moved up and down; he opened his mouth only to find himself voiceless.
This seemingly lean officer in front of them exuded a bloodthirsty aura so intense it was almost tangible. Those heaps of corpses, the frozen terror on the star thieves’ faces... all silently spoke of the brutal massacre that had happened here.
"Snap!"
A sharply distinct sound of metal clashing shattered the silence.
An old soldier at the forefront suddenly clicked his heels together, pressing his rifle heavily against his chest—this was the most honorable battlefield salute in the Royal Army.
Then the second, the third followed...
"Snap! Snap! Snap!"
The sound of orderly salutes echoed through the hall.
Each warrior straightened their backs with all their might, the shock in their eyes gradually transforming into fervent reverence.
