Chapter 19 The Sudden Slaughter
Chapter 19 The Sudden Slaughter
Inside the blood-red spaceship that resembled a great white shark.
"Target activity data has been collected from the planetary monitoring system's central database, and the location has been locked."
"The target adventurer team consists of 11 people in total, with no omissions, which matches the intelligence information."
"They are now gathered at the Crescent Moon Restaurant in the Moon River Starry Sky City."
Intelligence reports arrived rapidly.
With the support of headquarters, the speed at which information was collected was terrifyingly fast.
The main problem is that the other party is still in the dark and has no idea who they have offended. They haven't bothered to conceal their whereabouts. Otherwise, if they had simply fled in their spaceship and hidden in some deserted and remote star system, it would have been like finding a needle in a haystack. Even the Virtual Universe Company doesn't have the ability to find people out of thin air.
"Alright, now that we've found them, let's prepare to move out." A powerful man with a full beard, short yet incredibly burly, shouted, his voice icy. "Remember, if those people resist, kill them on sight. But killing isn't the primary objective; the most important thing is to retrieve what the higher-ups want."
"Those adventurers are unlikely to discover the existence of that thing, nor be able to recognize its value... otherwise they wouldn't be so bold as to continue showing themselves in public."
"Captain, don't worry." A man with three eyes, dressed in a green combat uniform and as thin as a bamboo pole, laughed and said, "They're just an ordinary adventurer squad. They're doomed if they face our Blood Spring Society."
"Brothers, quickly take care of these adventurers and you'll get the credit!" the dwarf warrior shouted after glancing around.
The spacecraft hovered on the outer edge of the atmosphere in outer space. The hatch opened, and figures filed out one after another.
One Eternal Star, two Eternal Stars... including the dwarf and the three-eyed man, this team has a total of eight Eternal Stars, any one of whom is stronger than a fourth-tier Eternal Star from Moon River Star.
A thousand planetary-level ninth-tier martial artists and mentalists followed behind.
This is a squad from the 'Blood Spring Society,' a powerful organization with a significant presence in the surrounding star systems. After receiving orders, they rushed here as quickly as possible to prevent the enemy from escaping.
A robust dwarf, clad in a powerful black combat suit, surveyed the vast blue planet below. "You all come down with me. Leave the spaceship here. Have some people monitor the ground. If you spot them leaving in a spaceship, intercept them immediately." He didn't care about the planet's reaction. A planet at most a fourth-tier star level was utterly defenseless against their force. Even if the spaceship deliberately concealed itself in outer space, the planet's defenses wouldn't be able to detect it.
"Walk."
Whoosh whoosh whoosh... Led by the powerful dwarf, this formidable team immediately sprang into action, their figures transforming into streaks of light, falling towards the ground like meteors.
Target: Crescent Moon Restaurant in Sakigawa Castle.
......
A loud whooshing sound came from above Sakigawa Castle, and a series of powerful figures suddenly flew down from the sky at an astonishing speed, landing on top of a skyscraper.
Until this point, the Moon River Star authorities had not noticed anything unusual, and the people below continued their peaceful lives as usual.
"Attack!" Without even glancing at the people below who were as small as ants, the group of people, whether martial artists or mentalists, focused their power on the top floor of the skyscraper tens of thousands of meters high and launched an attack.
Their weapons were also different; they were planetary-level, all ordinary items, and not a single one was an energy weapon.
Only the Hengxing level is a first-tier primal energy (psychic) weapon, including the strongest ones. Although their quality is generally average, they have additional effects on combat power.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Under the frenzied attacks of several Eternal Star level and thousands of Planetary Star level 9th rank, it was as if the sky and earth were collapsing!
Their target was very clear: the people on the top floor of the building.
"Beep beep beep..." The personal computers on the adventurers who were relaxing and having fun on the 999th floor suddenly emitted a rapid and sharp alarm.
"Oh no!" Everyone's expression changed drastically!
Just then, the incredibly sturdy alloy walls of the building suddenly shook and cracked open, with the adventurers bearing the brunt of the impact! The shockwave, visible to the naked eye, spread in all directions, naturally spreading downwards layer by layer from the top as the attack primarily came from above.
900th floor...
800th floor...
700th floor...
The speed of its spread was astonishing, like a toppled domino effect.
Meanwhile, Suk and the others on the 127th floor were still unaware of the situation.
"Beep beep beep." The intelligent computer on Suk's body suddenly emitted a loud alarm.
"This is..." Before the others could react, Suk's expression changed, and two figures burst through the wall like the wind.
It was Liu Mila and other star-level guards who had been stationed in the next room.
"Master, you're in danger! A powerful energy surge has been detected above!" Liu Mila shouted anxiously.
At that moment, Suk felt a strong sense of crisis.
Following his instincts, he raised his head and looked upwards.
"boom!!!"
The building was tens of thousands of meters tall, and the attack came down from the top, covering a distance of nearly ten kilometers. It was also blocked by layers of sturdy buildings, which slowed down the spread of the attack, allowing Suk to react in time.
At this critical moment, Hail soared into the sky, crashing through the ceiling and rushing upwards. Black scale-like primal energy battle armor appeared on his body, and he held a black battle sword in his hand. His eyes were crazed as he gathered all his strength and slashed upwards heavily.
As Liu Mila's body flew out, countless silver petals flew out. The edges of the petals had sharp serrations. The dazzling light danced around them and in an instant, they combined into a fan-shaped structure, more like a blooming flower. This formed a tough shield that directly protected Suk and the others below.
The other twelve powerful beings at the Hengxing level also used their respective abilities to help resist the impact.
At this moment, the heavens and earth seemed to be shaking.
A series of loud rumbling sounds came from all around. Suk felt the surroundings shaking violently, and his senses were severely affected. To the naked eye, numerous spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the surrounding walls, and many rock and metal fragments were constantly falling down.
From the outside, the magnificent, towering building appeared to be swallowed up by an invisible force from above, rapidly disintegrating and collapsing. More than 100 stories above it turned into countless fragments, with only a small section near the ground remaining visible.
Whoosh... Smoke and dust filled the air, and figures flew out amidst the chaos.
They were adventurers, but half of them were gone. Several powerful beings at the Eternal Star level survived, but even the strongest one, the bald, pointed-eared, burly man, was injured. As for the others, they would have died in the terrifying attack if they hadn't been protected by their companions.
The team originally consisted of 11 people: four Eternal Stars and seven Planetary Stars at levels eight and nine. However, one Eternal Star at level one has died, and there are still five Planetary Stars left. The team is now down to only five people, which can be described as a heavy loss.
"Who is it? Who attacked us!" The bald, sharp-eared, burly man with a wound on his face bleeding was in a sorry state. He clenched his fists, his veins bulging, and roared angrily. But when he looked up and saw a large number of figures flying towards him, his expression changed drastically.
The sirens wailed and echoed across the city. The streets surrounding the disaster center were in complete chaos, with debris flying everywhere, affecting streets and buildings outside the Crescent Restaurant and resulting in numerous deaths and injuries.
The worst-hit area was the Crescent Restaurant. Apart from a few adventurers who survived, almost no one survived from the floor above where Suk and his group were. This included An Tai and the others who had mocked Suk earlier. They all died unknowingly in the previous attack, becoming innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire.
