Chapter 21: A One-Sided Battle
Chapter 21: A One-Sided Battle
The Blood Spring Society members had already discovered the arrival of the spaceship.
The encirclement and killing operation seemed to have slowed down slightly.
However, in such a short time, the adventurers lost three more members, leaving only a bald, burly man at the fifth level of the Eternal Star rank and a third-level Eternal Star rank struggling to hold on. The rest died, including Eloie's uncle.
"Dead! They're all dead!" The bald, burly man's eyes turned red as he witnessed his companions, with whom he had spent every day and risked his life, dying one after another before his eyes.
"Tell me quickly, where is what you obtained from the ambush on Amgu? Hand it over and you can live!" The dwarf burly man swung his golden axe wildly, like lightning slicing through the sky. Each blow was so powerful that it could easily split the sea and shatter mountains.
Boom! The bald, muscular man's black heavy sword blocked the attack, but the collision caused a shockwave that spread outwards, and he was cleaved away, spitting blood from his mouth.
The power gap is too great.
Starting from the first level of the Hengxing realm, in terms of basic strength alone, each level doubles the strength of the previous level! Not to mention the combined effects of weapons, battle armor, secret techniques, power generation, and so on.
The fact that the two adventurers, both at the Eternal Star level, have been able to hold out this long is simply because the other side is deliberately showing mercy.
"Hahaha..." The bald, burly man finally understood what had happened. He was filled with regret and hatred, as well as hatred for the enemy. Naturally, he did not believe what the other party said. Knowing the brutality of the Blood Spring Society, he knew that they could not escape death no matter what.
He and another third-tier Constant Star used ordinary primal energy weapons, while their opponents consisted of eight powerful Constant Stars, some even wielding first-tier primal energy weapons, creating an overwhelming situation—a brutal encirclement and slaughter!
"Since they're so stubborn, then let them die! Everyone, show them no mercy, kill them!" The dwarf strongman no longer held back. He had originally wanted to force them to reveal the location of the item, but now he was desperate.
Because a huge, dark mass of troops was already charging towards them from not far away.
"A ninth-tier Constant-Star martial artist, a ninth-tier Constant-Star mentalist, and an eighth-tier Constant-Star mentalist..." The voluptuous woman with purple skin in the Blood Spring Society exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the results from the auxiliary computer. "Captain, this is bad, this is a tough one!"
The dwarf-like strongman was also taken aback. A ninth-level Constant Star warrior was already troublesome enough, but now a ninth-level Constant Star mentalist and an eighth-level Constant Star mentalist had appeared? It should be known that mentalists can control multiple mental weapons to attack simultaneously, and their fighting style is ever-changing, generally making them more difficult to deal with than warriors of the same level.
The price of slaves makes it clear: a mentalist costs three times as much as a martial artist of the same level!
The strongest on their side was only him, a level eight martial artist of the Constant Star level. Compared to the high-end combat power of the opposing side, he was no match for any of them! As for his subordinates, there was even less to say.
"No, we can't win."
"Damn it, where did so many powerful beings come from on such a small planet as Moon River..." Cold sweat broke out on the dwarf's forehead.
They weren't even absolutely confident in dealing with a single ninth-level martial artist of the Hengxing rank, let alone with so many more people on the other side now.
"Who are you? We are members of the Blood Springs! We're on a mission! Let's talk this over!" the dwarf shouted, each word transmitted through the Force.
The principle of sound transmission via the Force (genetic energy) is very simple.
The goal is to use the Force to create a telephone line effect, allowing sound to travel rapidly to the desired location—a common technique among martial artists throughout the universe. For psychics and martial artists possessing telekinesis and the Force, they naturally possess techniques different from ordinary humans, and transmitting sound using the Force is one of them.
The dwarf-like strongman thought the two sides could communicate, as he had some confidence in his organization's reputation... but the other side seemed completely oblivious, and remained aggressive!
"I fucking..." The dwarf could no longer remain calm, swore, and then gave the order without hesitation!
"Retreat! Retreat in separate groups!" After giving the order, he was the first to turn around and transform into a streak of light, urgently flying away in a distant direction.
The Blood Spring Society members were stunned. The purple-skinned woman and the three-eyed man had wanted to ask what to do about the mission, since running away would definitely lead to being held accountable by the organization if the mission wasn't completed. However, when they saw that their strongest captain had already led the way and that the other side was about to rush towards them, they were startled and stopped hesitating, splitting up and fleeing. The others followed suit.
Boom! The Hengxing-level beings all fled. The remaining planetary-level Blood Spring Society members weren't fools either. They scattered in all directions like bees from a bursting hive.
For a moment, apart from the direction of Liu Mila and the others, the sky was filled with the figures of people fleeing.
"Trying to escape?" Liumira, Hail, and the others were surprised that their opponent would choose to flee without a fight. Naturally, they would not be polite and began to pursue and kill them.
As for the last two adventurers, they both wore expressions of relief upon seeing the situation.
Now that neither side is paying attention to them, they seem to be safe.
The two exchanged a glance and then quietly slipped away.
"Captain, are we just going to run away like this? What about the mission?" the purple-haired woman asked anxiously during the escape. "What if we get blamed from above..."
"Are you just going to wait to die if you don't run?" The other person's words left her speechless.
"Hmph." The dwarf strongman knew very well that facing those three powerful figures head-on would be impossible for his eight Eternal Star level members; they would simply be wiped out one by one. Since that was the case, it was better to just run away. Even if he was punished by the organization, it was better than losing his life. His loyalty to the organization was not as important as his life.
The dwarf strongman was unaware that he had made the wisest choice. Liumira and her companions were far more powerful than he had imagined; even among ninth-tier Constant Star cultivators, there was a significant gap! Back then, at the Purple Phoenix Star Treasure Pavilion, Suk spared no expense in equipping his top subordinates with second-tier primal energy weapons, telekinetic weapons, and even primal force suits! This caused Liumira and her group's strength to skyrocket! One of them could easily take on several of their own kind!
If the two sides were to actually clash, it would undoubtedly be a one-sided battle...
The situation at the scene was chaotic.
"I'll go after that eighth-level Star-rank martial artist, you go after that seventh-level Star-rank mentalist!" Liu Mila quickly transmitted her voice.
Since the goal is to hunt down and kill, the target should be an important figure on the other side.
"Then I'll go after the others," another level eight spiritualist in the team said casually.
Their flight speed was terrifying, far exceeding that of the ninth-tier planetary-level members. Before the Blood Spring Society members had even escaped far, they rushed in. When they got close, they showed no mercy and began to kill, reaping the lives of a large number of unfortunate planetary-level Blood Spring Society members.
Limbs and fragments flew everywhere, and for a moment a tragic yet cruel rain of blood fell from the sky.
"They escaped?" Suk and the others in the spaceship could directly monitor the scene from the control room. When they saw this, Suk was also a little surprised.
"However, they said they were members of the Blood Spring Society..." Suk had never heard of this organization before, but he had a vague feeling that it was not a simple organization.
However, Saki's father, Zoto, seemed to have heard of it, and his expression changed. "The Blood Spring Society?"
