"You all come with me."

Lin Chen grabbed the members of the special ops team beside him, pulling them directly into the Void Pearl, and then threw them right next to Xue Wenrui.

"Watch over her."

Lin Chen was meticulous in his actions, worried that the kidnappers had placed personnel among the hostages, so he left two team members to protect Xue Wenrui.

The two members nodded crisply, standing next to Xue Wenrui, their eyes vigilantly fixed on everyone ahead.

Lin Chen slipped out.

"Boom!"

The bulkhead ahead exploded open, and a figure appeared in front of Qin Zheng, an elderly, white-haired man in ordinary clothes, holding a black blade.

The once wild Qin Zheng saw the old man and immediately stopped, his eyes warily watching him.

"Zhao Guangting, you’re not dead!"

The white-haired elder showed a bitter smile on his face: "Indeed, I’m not dead, but it’s almost the same. Can you tell me how you found this place and appeared inside the flying ship out of thin air?"

Qin Zheng said in a deep voice: "That’s none of your business. As a Level 9 Martial Artist, you’ve resorted to kidnapping. Don’t you feel ashamed? What about the glory you once had?"

The white-haired elder Zhao Guangting coldly said: "My glory was buried long ago. Now, I’m nothing but a walking corpse."

Qin Zheng was silent for a few seconds and then spoke: "Whatever the case, targeting a group of ordinary people is unworthy of your status as a Level 9 Martial Artist."

Zhao Guangting chuckled, but the smile was very bitter: "Ordinary people? Your blades didn’t spare those strangers before either. Although you’re the victors, what’s the difference between your blades and mine?"

Qin Zheng grew even more silent.

Zhao Guangting raised his black blade, calmly saying: "King’s Conquest and Defeat, nothing more to say. Let’s let our blades tell the story."

Qiu Chan gripped her battle blade, stepping forward, speaking in a deep voice: "You can’t escape today."

Zhao Guangting’s gaze fell on Qiu Chan: "I know you, the Federation’s Iron Blood Rose, the large team leader of Security Bureau’s First District. You’ve mobilized quite a few people to save that little girl."

Qiu Chan said in a deep voice: "She’s a fifteen-year-old child. When the incident happened, she wasn’t even born. Regardless of the situation, it has nothing to do with her. You want to achieve your goals, but you kidnapped an innocent child. Whatever justice you hold in your heart, I think it’s wrong."

Facing Qiu Chan’s accusation, Zhao Guangting nodded: "Yes, I admit that."

Qiu Chan didn’t expect him to acknowledge it so straightforwardly without any reason.

"Your plan has already failed. You shouldn’t be our opponent. Do you still want to put up a desperate fight?"

Zhao Guangting raised his black blade, his gaze dreamy: "I just wanted an answer, and to give others some answer too."

Pausing, Zhao Guangting turned his head, staring at Lin Chen with scrutiny in his eyes.

"They won’t answer me, but that move of yours earlier, and your unique black eyes, are you a cultivator from the Sea of Abandonment?"

Lin Chen intently watched the old sir, speaking in a deep voice: "You’re well-informed, old sir."

Zhao Guangting continued asking: "Finding this place, having the controllers find the hostages, was that all your work?"

Lin Chen calmly replied: "I haven’t been with the Federation long, so I’m not clear on your grievances. I came here just to rescue the hostages. Oh, by the way, I’m currently employed at the Security Bureau, under Captain Qiu. It’s my duty, no offense, Elderly People."

Though it seemed like Zhao Guangting was alone, Qin Zheng and Qiu Chan working together had a good chance of winning, but the old man’s sorrowful temperament made Lin Chen vigilant.

An ancient saying goes, the lamenting soldier must win. This old man clearly has an unstable mindset, carrying a chilling aura of death.

Lin Chen didn’t want to become the target of such a person.

Zhao Guangting lightly nodded: "You have a lot of ability."

Zhao Guangting gave Lin Chen a deep look: "Perhaps you could help us a bit."

A chill ran through Lin Chen’s heart, fearing this was exactly what he dreaded, being targeted now?

Lin Chen quickly waved his hand: "What you do is too dangerous. I’m a law-abiding good citizen, so don’t involve me."

Qiu Chan coldly snorted: "Zhao Guangting, worry about yourself first. You can’t escape today."

Zhao Guangting calmly spoke: "With just the two of you, you can’t stop me."

Zhao Guangting drew his knife, casually slicing.

The terrifying blade light instantly tore through the top of the flying ship, rising to the sky, his figure following the blade light, rising to the sky.

Qin Zheng and Qiu Chan both rushed up together, rising to the sky.

Lin Chen followed them, extremely curious about what intensity a battle among three Level 9s would have.

In the starry sky.

Three people stood in the void, Zhao Guangting slashing at Qiu Chan with a knife, the terrifying blade light tearing the starry sky, as if a comet fell, incomparably terrifying.

Qiu Chan swung her battle blade, darted forward, and slashed out.

The terrifying blade light clashed in the starry sky, instantly exploding, forming an extremely terrifying energy wave, which surged and spread in all directions.

The starry sky was filled with numerous meteorites, some as large as continents, yet these enormous starry sky meteorites crumbled the instant they encountered the terrifying energy wave.

Qin Zheng finally drew his own blade, slashing down.

He knew very well Zhao Guangting’s power, that he alone couldn’t take down Zhao Guangting, only with Qiu Chan’s collaboration could he possibly do it.

Amid the fierce impact, Qiu Chan was knocked flying.

Zhao Guangting returned his blade, blocking Qin Zheng’s slash.

Qiu Chan turned back, and the three engaged in battle together.

Lin Chen floated in the starry sky, watching the battle from afar.

The members of the special ops team were dealing with the other people on the flying ship, and Lin Chen didn’t join the attack but focused on watching the battle among the three.

A battle of Level 9 Martial Artists, it’s not something that can be seen all the time, is it?

Zhao Guangting and the three engaged in fierce combat in the starry sky, their figures flashing at high speeds, so fast that even one’s eyes could barely follow.

Blade light flashed occasionally, and wherever it reached, everything was destroyed by the blade light, even planets couldn’t withstand one slice from the three.

This scene made Lin Chen’s heart thump.

Strong!

Too strong!

Qin Zheng is strong, Qiu Chan is also strong, but Zhao Guangting is stronger!

Each slice could repel Qin Zheng or Qiu Chan, and if it weren’t two against one, he probably would have defeated them already.

During the battle, Zhao Guangting suddenly vanished from the spot, and the next second, he directly crossed the Star River, appearing in front of Lin Chen, reaching out his big hand towards Lin Chen.

Every hair on Lin Chen’s body instantly stood up.

Wormhole Jumping!

This Zhao Guangting actually knew Wormhole Jumping too, and he wanted to grab him!

The terrifying pressure enveloped Lin Chen overwhelmingly, and Lin Chen nearly instinctively executed a Star Sky Jump, instantly disappearing from Zhao Guangting’s sight.

Zhao Guangting’s large hand landed in the empty space, a look of surprise in his eyes.

"Huh?"
