258: Weakness is the original sin

You're back!

His three hands carefully held a data chip as thin as a cicada's wing: "All the information you requested, including the list of all known participants in this auction, their backgrounds, and all of Star Lord's deployments here!"

Su Lei took the chip, and with a sweep of his Divine Soul, a massive amount of information was instantly digested.

The intelligence was more detailed than he could have imagined.

One name, in particular, caught his attention.

Thousand Blade Butcher, Baroque.

An S-class wanted criminal with a notorious reputation across several Star Domains, he hailed from a barbaric race that glorified slaughter. His physique was so formidable that he could withstand a starship's main cannon, and he enjoyed dismembering opponents with thousands of energy blades.

The intelligence indicated that this individual was one of the most important guests invited by Star Lord.

And just half an hour ago, this Thousand Blade Butcher had set up a challenge arena in Fractured Bone Town's most renowned gladiatorial arena, the Meat Grinder.

He specifically challenged the newcomer from Earth to a friendly sparring match.

"He's in the arena now?"

"Yes, sir!"

Three Eyes quickly replied, "He's already killed three clueless individuals there, and his methods are extremely cruel!"

"Now the entire arena is almost torn apart by him, and he's declared that if you don't dare to go, he will personally storm the Throne of Fallen Gods!"

"Lead the way."

Su Lei tossed the chip back to Three Eyes, uttering only two words.

The Meat Grinder Arena, Fractured Bone Town's most popular entertainment venue, showcased the most primal aesthetics of violence every day.

Today, however, the atmosphere here was even more fervent than usual.

In the center of the massive circular arena, a terrifying giant, over three meters tall, covered in dark red keratin, with muscles as gnarled as rock, was stepping on a mangled corpse.

He was the Thousand Blade Butcher, Baroque.

Around him, a thousand blood-glowing energy blades formed a huge, slowly rotating sphere of death, emitting a grating hum.

On the edge of the arena, two other bodies, flayed to mere skeletons, hung.

"Is that Earth softie named Su Lei dead on the road?!"

"Or are all you Earthlings just a bunch of cowards who hide behind women?!"

His roar drew a thunderous chorus of laughter and boos from the audience.

Here, weakness was the original sin.

It was at this moment.

Boom!

The arena's massive alloy entrance was kicked open from the outside!

The two half-meter thick alloy doors flew backward like sheets of paper, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust!

The clamor of the entire arena abruptly ceased at this moment.

All eyes turned in unison to the open entrance.

As the dust settled, Su Lei's figure slowly appeared.

Behind him were twelve Royal Guards, following like shadows.

"You, are you Baroque?"

"Hahahaha! You finally dared to show yourself, little worm!"

Baroque looked at Su Lei's frail figure before him and laughed even more wildly.

"I thought I'd have to crush your beautiful blue planet before you'd crawl out of your rat hole!"

He extended his massive tongue and licked his lips: "I will make you wail in endless pain for three days and three nights, then pull out your fragile bones one by one and make them into my new throne!"

Su Lei couldn't be bothered with such childish taunts, his expression indifferent as he walked forward step by step.

The surrounding audience gradually stopped their mockery.

As desperadoes who lived on the edge of a knife, their intuition for danger was far keener than ordinary people's.

At this moment, from the Earthling walking towards the arena, they felt a terrifying Aura that made their very Souls tremble!

"An interesting little worm, trying to scare me with your Aura?"

The smile on Baroque's face became even more ferocious.

No sooner had he spoken than, in an instant!

Thousands of energy blades instantly transformed into a crimson torrent, sweeping towards Su Lei with a tearing shriek!

Thousand Blade Storm!

Countless opponents had been shredded into meat paste by this storm, unable to last even a single breath.

In the stands, many people instinctively closed their eyes.

However, the expected scene of blood and gore did not occur.

Su Lei continued to walk.

Ding ding ding ding ding!

A crisp, rain-like clang reverberated throughout the arena!

The crimson storm, upon touching Su Lei's body, caused countless sparks to erupt on his surface!

Those sharp blades, capable of cutting through genetic locks, couldn't even scratch his skin, let alone leave a white mark!

He simply walked through that terrifying wall of blades, capable of disintegrating a small planet, as if strolling through a garden, continuing towards the arena.

The entire arena was deathly silent.

Everyone stared, mouths agape, forgetting to breathe, as if they had seen a god.

On Baroque's ferocious face, for the first time, an expression of incredible horror appeared.

"No! This is impossible! How could my Star Shattering Blades..."

He roared frantically, injecting all his energy into the blades, and the power of the crimson storm surged again, becoming so fast it formed a solid, impenetrable drill!

However, it was all in vain.

Su Lei's figure finally passed through the increasingly powerless crimson storm and stood before Baroque, who was already utterly terrified.

He clenched his fist and struck!

Under the horrified gaze of tens of thousands of people in the arena, Baroque's mountainous body, along with the tens of meters thick superalloy wall behind him, was simply erased from the middle, leaving a clear, human-shaped void!

The edges of the void were as smooth as a mirror.

One punch!

The infamous Thousand Blade Butcher, along with his most prized defense, was completely wiped from this world.

Su Lei slowly retracted his fist; his clothes were unruffled and spotless from beginning to end.

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over the already stunned audience, finally landing on the VIP box on the top floor of the arena, which offered the best view.

There, several equally powerful beings were seated.

The other guests invited by Star Lord.

Su Lei looked in that direction, his gaze piercing through layers of obstruction.

Finally, in the dead silence, he slowly raised his middle finger.

The Meat Grinder Arena was as silent as a tomb from which the Soul had been drained.

A needle dropping to the ground would probably create a meteorite crater.

That middle finger pointed towards the sky was not a provocation, but a silent declaration of war delivered to all the overlords of this Star Domain.

It was like a conceptual weapon, ignoring physical distance, piercing through the special crystal of the VIP box, which was rumored to withstand battleship main cannons, and savagely plunging into the arrogant hearts of those interstellar magnates, hearts as proud as a stellar core.

Overbearing!

Lawless!

This man, who emerged from the forgotten blue planet, declared his arrival to all the predators of this chaotic Star Domain in the most primal way.

He was not a passerby; he was the hunter, and they were all prey.
