Chapter 296: Chapter 277: Blood Demon, Blood Demon Cult?
Once the Spiritualist troops entered, Qin Tian completely withdrew.
Most of the Star Thieves had been killed by him, and the task of hunting the remaining Star Thieves was left to this group of Spiritualist warriors.
Qin Tian flew out of the hatch, Stellar Armor covering his entire body, as he flew a distance, observing the battle between the three powerhouses of the Hundred Hunt Star Thieves and the military Spiritualists.
The leader of the Hundred Hunt Star Thieves, nicknamed Blood Demon, had always worn a mask since establishing the group. No one knew what his face looked like beneath it. He was mysterious and powerful, a Tier Seven Spiritualist, and his bloodline level was undoubtedly strong.
The second-in-command, Ling Jue, a Silver Bloodline Spiritualist above Tier Six Four Stars, was cold-blooded and ruthless, skilled in Swordsmanship.
The third-in-command, "Frost" Maurice, a Tier Six Silver Level Spirit Mage, was proficient in ice magic.
If these three were allowed to charge at will, the 10 Shadow Blade destroyers would be unable to withstand them. Fortunately, several top powerhouses were also dispatched for this encirclement operation.
...
In the starry sky, an energy storm raged.
Six figures clashed in the void, each engagement stirring terrifying ripples of Spiritual Energy.
The Shadow Blade class destroyers had already retreated to a safe distance, with the ship’s cannons locked onto the battlefield but hesitant to fire—this level of combat was beyond the realm of mundane weapons.
"Blood Demon" was enveloped in a bloody aura of Spiritual Energy, each wave of his hand raising a surging wave of blood.
His opponent was the deputy commander of the 27th Army in the Li Yue Star Zone—"Iron Wall" Lawson, also a Tier Seven Spiritualist.
Lawson’s arms were covered in thick armor of Spiritual Energy, blocking Blood Demon’s bloody palm head-on, and the resulting shockwave shattered nearby floating asteroids into dust.
"A coward who hides his head and shows his tail!" Lawson sneered, his fist gathering a blinding golden light, "Let me see your true face!"
Blood Demon remained silent, a peculiar gleam flashing in his eyes beneath the mask.
His figure suddenly blurred, transforming into nine bloody shadows attacking Lawson from different angles. Each shadow carried corrosive energy, even burning the space into distorted traces.
...
Ling Jue’s sword light poured down like a galaxy, each slash carrying the power to sever space.
His opponent was Tier Six Swordsmanship Master Bai Ye, blades clashing and Spiritual Energy sparking brilliantly in the starry sky.
"Your blade is too slow." Bai Ye suddenly changed tactics, the sword tip tracing a profound trajectory.
Three bloody marks instantly appeared on Ling Jue’s sleeve, yet he showed a sinister smile instead.
"Interesting, now you are worthy to be my sharpening stone!"
...
Surrounded by a freezing current of absolute zero, Maurice seemed to freeze even the starlight.
Meanwhile, his opponent—fire element Spiritual Master Yan Jin, controlled flames that could incinerate everything, the clash of ice and fire forming a magnificent and deadly vortex of energy in space.
"Your ice..." Yan Jin formed a seal with both hands, a giant fiery bird’s illusion appearing behind him, "is not cold enough!"
...
As the battle reached a stalemate, Lawson’s tactical headset suddenly sounded:
"Report, commander! The Hundred Hunt Star Thieves’ ship has been completely controlled, all hostages safe!"
A sharp light shot from Lawson’s eyes: "Close the net!"
Almost simultaneously, three new powerful auras shot up from the nearest Shadow Blade ship!
"Chain" Hodl, a Tier Seven Spiritualist;
"Shadow Dance" Xue Qingshan, a Peak Tier Six assassin;
"Rock" Wu Kelei, a top-tier defensive powerhouse.
Dr. Xie’s death had angered the military, and the high command issued a strict order to annihilate the Hundred Hunt Star Thieves with overwhelming force.
Upon learning of the strengths of the Hundred Hunt Star Thieves’ three leaders, the military naturally dispatched not just three top experts but six in total, two at Tier Seven, four at Tier Six.
Moreover, all four Tier Six powerhouses were Silver Bloodline, and the two Tier Seven were Golden Bloodline.
Earlier, Lawson had been concerned that Blood Demon might have left some trick on the ship, and if Blood Demon found escaping hopeless, he might just blow up the ship or massacre the hostages onboard, causing unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, he only let Bai Ye and Yan Jin join the fray, primarily to entangle, giving the enemy the illusion that perhaps they could break through.
However, once the Spiritualist warriors successfully controlled the ship, it would be the end for Blood Demon’s trio.
The void trembled, six terrifying auras enclosing Blood Demon’s trio like an inescapable net.
Faced with such a formation, a flash of crimson light gleamed in Blood Demon’s eyes beneath the mask.
"Form the formation!" Blood Demon shouted sharply, and the three of them instantly formed a triangular battle formation back to back.
Ling Jue’s blade shone with blinding silver light, Maurice’s body congealed into crystalline ice armor, and Blood Demon forced out three drops of Essence Blood from his palm, drawing a blood-red rune in the void.
"Blood Prison Great Formation, activate!"
The blood-red rune suddenly expanded into a kilometer-wide crimson barrier. Lawson’s golden fist seal slammed onto the barrier, only creating a ripple.
"Interesting." Hodl sneered, his chains slithering like a spiritual snake, "Let’s see how long you can hold out!"
Six powerhouses attacked simultaneously.
Bai Ye’s sword light poured down like a galaxy, each slash carrying the power to sever space; Yan Jin summoned a Heaven Burning Fire Phoenix, its scorching flames twisting the void; Wu Kelei transformed into a Steel Giant, each punch carrying the force to shatter mountains and split the earth.
"Boom!"
The first wave of attacks landed, causing the blood-red barrier to shake violently, yet it remained unbroken.
Blood Demon seized the opportunity to retaliate, nine bloody shadows splitting from the barrier, each carrying seventy percent of his power, attacking in different directions.
"Tricks of the trade!" Lawson’s fists collided, sweeping golden waves in all directions, instantly crushing three blood shadows, but the remaining six had already approached the various Shadow Blade ships.
