117: Chapter 117 Seeking Justice

In the frigid near-Earth space, there was dead silence.

Inside the bridge of the troop transport ship, however, the atmosphere was somewhat strange.

Commander Lin Na stood before the massive porthole, her hands behind her back.

On the planet's surface, that terrifying, deep-blue mushroom cloud, blasted out by the enhanced Star-Exterminating Main Cannon and large enough to cover an entire continent, was slowly rising and roiling.

The blinding, destructive glare illuminated her cold face, making it flicker between light and shadow.

However, for some reason.

Looking at the spectacular scene of absolute destruction, deep within Lin Na's heart, she did not feel the slightest sense of relief that the situation was settled.

On the contrary, an inexplicable, extreme sense of terror climbed up her spine, all the way to her crown.

She seemed to have sensed something, and her originally calm amber eyes suddenly constricted.

Her gaze suddenly shot past the roiling mushroom cloud, staring intently at the outer space orbit hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the center of the explosion.

"What is going on?!" The unease in Lin Na's heart amplified instantly.

Just as she was about to order the radar to scan that anomalous area at full power!

"Bang—!!!"

A terrifying, massive sound exploded in the entire bridge without warning!

The massive bulletproof porthole, capable of withstanding a direct impact from a medium-sized meteorite, was instantly pierced through!

The next second.

"Boom!"

Countless sharp crystal fragments, mixed with violent vacuum turbulence, flooded madly into the spacious bridge!

The entire command room was instantly plunged into a cacophony of piercing alarms and red light.

And amidst the flying debris and chaotic air currents.

A figure, tattered and covered from head to toe in shocking bloody wounds, crashed onto the hard alloy deck of the bridge!

The wind howled, and alarms blared continuously.

The figure slowly straightened his body.

His upper body was almost completely carbonized, and one could even see bones faintly shimmering with a purple-gold luster beneath the curled flesh.

But within this seemingly dying, broken shell, it was as if an ancient Tyrannosaurus Rex had just awakened, recklessly releasing extreme killing intent outward!

Su Wu slowly raised his head.

Those originally deep eyes were now completely filled with violent purple-black thunder.

His gaze slowly swept over the military operators on the bridge who were stunned into speechlessness by fear.

"Who fired the shot."

Su Wu spoke.

His voice was not loud, even sounding somewhat weak and hoarse.

However, these four words, wrapped in Star Emperor Level Origin Qi, resonated extremely clearly in the depths of everyone's eardrums throughout the entire ship!

Dead silence.

Inside the entire bridge, apart from the piercing alarm, no one dared to make a sound.

Lin Na, standing behind and to the side of Su Wu, was completely frozen in place.

Her once-prided calmness and iron-bloodedness were shattered at this moment!

She looked at the charcoal-like man before her with extreme terror.

Her perception was sounding alarms frantically!

How could this be?!

The Origin Qi fluctuations emanating from this man were clearly similar to hers—both were at the seventh stage of the Star Emperor Realm!

But why?!

Why was her body trembling uncontrollably when facing an opponent of the same Realm?!

Why did she feel like a mouse seeing a cat, where even circulating a tiny bit of Origin Qi had become incredibly difficult?!

"Fine."

Su Wu did not turn back; he looked at the terrified crew, a cold sneer slowly curling the corners of his mouth.

"One by one, none of you are going to talk, huh."

Before his voice had even faded!

Swish!

Su Wu's figure left behind a gradually dissipating afterimage right where he had stood.

Too fast! So fast that even Lin Na, at the seventh stage of the Star Emperor Realm, could not capture any movement trajectory on her retina!

Just as Lin Na, relying on her instinctive sense of danger, tried to retreat violently backward.

A charred, blood-stained hand had already arrogantly grabbed her slender, fair neck!

"Ugh!"

Lin Na's pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

She only felt a terrifying pressure, following that hand that gripped her throat of fate, instantly enveloping her entire body!

In the face of this unreasonable, overbearing power, her prided seventh-stage Star Emperor Realm cultivation was as fragile as paper, and she couldn't muster even the slightest strength to resist!

She could only, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, with her feet off the ground, be obediently and humiliatingly lifted into mid-air by Su Wu with a single hand!

Su Wu slowly turned his head, his eyes burning with purple-black thunder, staring intently at Lin Na's face, which was gradually turning red from suffocation.

"You are the commander of this operation."

Su Wu glared, his eyes filled with bone-chilling coldness and killing intent: "I was down there fighting for my life, and you were firing cold shots from the sky?!"

"Was it you!!!"

The final roar, like rolling thunder, exploded directly in Lin Na's Soul Sea!

Feeling the intense, terrifying killing intent emanating from Su Wu, Lin Na completely collapsed.

Where was the cold, arrogant demeanor she had before, pointing out the landscape and treating external aid as cannon fodder?

At this moment, she widened her eyes in terror, her eyeballs bulging high due to congestion.

Her hands desperately and futilely clawed at Su Wu's iron-like arm, her legs kicked helplessly in mid-air, and her whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

The fear of death filled her entire body so realistically for the first time.

"Looking at your reaction... it seems it really was you."

Watching Lin Na's ugly state of desperate struggle, Su Wu suddenly smiled.

The smile was extremely bright, yet more chilling than a demon from Hell.

Hum—!!!

The next moment.

In Su Wu's other hand, which was hanging by his side.

A bolt of purple-black thunder gathered and compressed without warning, finally condensing into a destructive blade of thunder!

That was the Heavenly Punishment Thunder power belonging to the Thunder God Body!

"No... don't..." Lin Na's eyes were filled with endless pleading.

But in the depths of Su Wu's eyes, there was not a shred of pity.

"Squelch!"

A tooth-aching sound of flesh tearing!

That palm, condensing violent purple-black lightning, did not hesitate at all, brutally and directly piercing through Lin Na's abdomen!

"Ahhhhhh—!!!"

Lin Na let out a shrill scream!

Bright red blood, mixed with shattered internal organs, erupted instantly like a fountain, staining her crisp military uniform red.

Her eyes were filled with the terror of her vitality rapidly slipping away and irredeemable despair.

The surrounding military crew members were stunned into speechlessness by this scene.

They were pale as sheets, trembling all over.

Some with weaker psychological resilience even had their legs give way, collapsing onto the cold alloy deck.

"No... no..."

Lin Na cried out hoarsely, large mouthfuls of blood gushing from her mouth, tears spinning wildly in her eyes.

In the final moments of her life, she tried to use her last bit of strength to find an excuse to absolve herself of her stupidity.

"I... I was only... only executing the military's orders... I didn't know... you..."

"Executing orders?"

Su Wu acted as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

He tilted his head slightly, looking at the dying Lin Na, and chuckled softly, "Hehehe."

The laughter was filled with extreme mockery and disdain.

"Go to Hell and execute your orders with the King of Hell!"

Boom!!!

The moment his voice fell.

Su Wu's arm, which had pierced through Lin Na's abdomen, suddenly shook!

That incredibly violent purple-black Thunder God power exploded directly inside Lin Na's body!

"Bang!"

There was no suspense.

Lin Na's long, graceful body, under the internal detonation of the thunder, instantly shattered into pieces, turning into a mass of charred flesh and blood mist!

A military commander at the seventh stage of the Star Emperor Realm was thus humiliatingly blasted into slag on the spot by Su Wu!

Plop.

Su Wu casually flicked the blood off his fingertips, shaking off a piece of charred flesh.

He slowly turned around.

Those purple-black Thunder God eyes looked extremely calmly at the remaining military operators on the ship.

"Are you all here to execute orders, too?"

...

One minute later.

Inside this troop transport ship.

Apart from the piercing alarm, there was no longer any sound of breathing or pleading.

On the spacious bridge, blood had almost gathered into a stream. Severed limbs were scattered all over the floor.

Su Wu was the only living person standing on this ship.

He walked expressionlessly to a relatively clean command chair nearby and sat down very casually.

He took out a handful of high-grade healing Medicinal Pills from his space ring, stuffed them into his mouth like eating candy beans, closed his eyes, and let his Supreme Chaos Body begin to frantically repair the shocking wounds on his body.
