111: Chapter 111 Bizarre Behavior

---

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Over a hundred streaks of light, like meteors falling to the earth, slammed heavily into the surface of Abandoned Planet No. 7.

As soon as they landed, the sky full of wild sand rushed toward them like knives.

The reason this planet appeared as a deathly silent earthy yellow in space was precisely because its surface was constantly being whipped by super sandstorms that blotted out the sky.

Visibility was extremely low, and strangely, even Divine Thoughts were being interfered with to a certain extent within this violent flying sand and stone.

Everyone propped up their protective Origin Qi one after another. Various colors of Origin Qi light shimmered indistinctly in the dim yellow wind and sand.

However, as soon as Su Wu's feet stepped onto the hard gravel, his brow furrowed slightly.

Something was wrong!

The wind and sand were mixed with a nauseating, thick smell of blood! Within this wildly dancing yellow dust, countless extremely eerie blood-red shadows were actually faintly writhing!

Right at that moment.

"What is that?!"

Not far from Su Wu, a Martial Artist in the Star King Realm suddenly let out a cry of alarm.

Swoosh!

Without any warning! From the seemingly ordinary sandstorm vortex beside him, a massive blood-red fleshy tentacle as thick as a water bucket suddenly lunged out like lightning!

The surface of this fleshy tentacle was covered in mucus and barbs, and it was even pulsating constantly like a heart. Carrying a terrifying force that could overturn mountains and seas, it whipped ruthlessly toward the waist of that Star King Realm Martial Artist!

The speed was so fast that it even produced a piercing sonic boom!

That Star King Martial Artist's reaction could be considered extremely swift.

He gave a furious shout, and the Origin Qi in his body instantly erupted. He immediately held up the high-grade longsword in his hand, attempting to withstand this sudden and eerie attack.

But.

He had severely underestimated the power of this blood-colored tentacle!

"Crack—!"

An extremely crisp sound of metal snapping exploded in the wild sand.

Under the strike of this blood-colored fleshy tentacle, that tough longsword infused with Star King Origin Qi actually shattered into two pieces instantly like fragile glass, not even holding out for half a second!

The fleshy tentacle's momentum remained undiminished as it carried terrifying kinetic energy and whipped heavily against the Martial Artist's chest!

“Pfft—!”

The Martial Artist was struck as if by a bolt of lightning, his sternum collapsing instantly.

His body was like a kite with a broken string, drawing a tragic arc in mid-air as he was violently thrown away.

While still in mid-air, he spat out a large mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Then, with a "bang," he crashed into a distant sand dune and was instantly buried by the yellow sand, his life or death unknown!

An instant kill!

This scene happened in the blink of an eye.

"Careful! There's something strange in this dust! Everyone, group up!"

It was unknown which experienced Star Emperor veteran it was, but he immediately let out a thunderous shout that echoed across the battlefield.

The other Martial Artists, who had originally scattered to search for the enemy, felt their hearts tighten. They all reacted, quickly gathering back-to-back and pushing the Origin Qi in their bodies to the limit.

Just as they had finished forming their defensive formation.

"Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!"

In the surrounding yellow sand that blotted out the sky, it was as if some demon's nest had been completely awakened.

Many, many dense blood-red fleshy tentacles crazily bored out from underground and from the dark corners of the wind and sand!

They were like tens of thousands of blood-colored venomous snakes baring their fangs and claws, bringing with them the sound of breaking air that made one's scalp tingle as they crazily converged to strangle everyone!

Not only that!

"Kill all these dogs of the Federation!"

"For the Sacred Cult!"

Accompanied by the attacks of these terrifying tentacles, figures with blood-red eyes emerged abruptly from the yellow sand like evil ghosts crawling out of Hell, using the wind, sand, and tentacles as cover!

Clearly, these were the remnants of the Star Demon Cult who were hidden here, prepared to fight to the death!

"Good timing! My Pass is right on your heads!"

"Kill!"

The over one hundred external aid Martial Artists who had come for the bounty were already ruthless characters who lived on the edge.

Facing the ambush, not only did they have no fear, but they instead erupted with even more violent killing intent.

Without any nonsense from either side, they instantly fell into an extremely tragic and chaotic battle on this yellow sand-covered surface!

The blood-red fleshy tentacles moved through the dust like ghosts, whipping and entangling.

And those Star Demon Cult remnants were like a group of well-trained assassins, taking advantage of the chaotic offensive of the tentacles disrupting the formation to launch desperate and violent charges at Su Wu and the others from every blind spot.

Various colors of Origin Qi light collided crazily, and severed limbs and broken arms, accompanied by blood, were constantly tossed onto the yellow sand.

However.

The development of the battle was somewhat unexpected.

Although the Star Demon Cult remnants used the cover of the eerie tentacles and occupied the geographical advantage.

The strength of this group of "external aids" who had come for the passes was simply too great.

The lowest among them was at the Star King Peak, and Star Emperor experts were by no means few.

After a brief moment of panic, these external aid Martial Artists quickly stabilized their positions.

Various violent Martial Skills and thick Origin Qi were blasted out.

With the appearance of the Star Demon Cult remnants, these cultists not only failed to form a crushing force but were instead quickly suppressed by the powerful firepower, falling completely into a disadvantage! Swaths of Star Demon Cult members were blown to pieces on the spot.

At the edge of the battlefield.

Su Wu's expression was cold and stern.

He didn't use his full strength at all, not even employing the Thunder God Body or his attributes.

He merely maintained the most basic Origin Qi protection, casually severing a few tentacles that attacked him.

He was in no hurry to snatch kills because his extremely keen intuition told him—this battlefield, this situation, and the reaction of this group from the Star Demon Cult, all revealed an indescribable sense of incongruity!

"I always feel like something is weird somewhere." Su Wu coldly scanned the battlefield.

Right at that moment.

A high-ranking member of the Star Demon Cult, exuding the terrifying aura of a Seventh-Stage Star Emperor and holding a blood-stained scimitar, set his sights on the seemingly "idle" Su Wu.

"Die!"

That Seventh-Stage Star Emperor roared, intense dark-type Origin Qi erupting as the scimitar drew a black line of death in mid-air, aimed straight for Su Wu's head.

Su Wu's eyes turned cold.

Swoosh!

Without any warning of spatial fluctuations.

Su Wu's figure directly left a faint afterimage in place and instantly vanished!

That Seventh-Stage Star Emperor's blade hit nothing but air. His pupils suddenly contracted, and alarm bells rang in his heart.

Before he could even make a defensive move.

Su Wu had already appeared before him like a ghost, abruptly, less than half a foot away!

He simply extended his right hand very casually.

His five fingers spread open, and with pure and tyrannical Physical Body strength, he grabbed the face of that Seventh-Stage Star Emperor!

"You..." That Star Emperor was struck with horror, just about to struggle.

The five fingers suddenly exerted force!

“Bang!”

An extremely dull sound of an explosion!

The head of that Seventh-Stage Star Emperor expert was instantly crushed in Su Wu's hand!

Red and white matter mixed with bone fragments sprayed out like a fountain, splashing into the air.

Casually flicking away the bloodstains from his fingertips, Su Wu didn't even give the headless corpse a second glance.

He looked up at the surrounding Star Demon Cult members who were being crazily slaughtered by the external aid Martial Artists, his brow furrowing deeper.

That sense of incongruity finally found its root in his mind.

"Something's not right."

Su Wu's gaze was icy as he quickly deduced the battle situation in his heart.

"These blood-colored fleshy tentacles all over the ground have astonishing power and are extremely well-concealed. This is clearly some kind of extremely powerful method of the Star Demon Cult."

"If they have this level of geographical advantage..."

Su Wu looked at those cultists who kept rushing out to their deaths, a flash of doubt and vigilance in his eyes:

"These pieces of trash from the Star Demon Cult could clearly have stayed hidden and slowly, risk-free, worn us down through those eerie tentacles."

"Why would they give up an absolute geographical advantage and take the initiative to run out and engage in this kind of close-quarters life-and-death struggle with us that results in such heavy casualties?"

This wasn't fighting.

This was almost like... they were deliberately seeking death!
