266: A true hunter

“I'll gladly accept this grand gift, one that’s enough to change the Universe's entire pattern!”

He didn't hesitate, intending to take the key, which was enough to drive the entire Universe mad, and dive into it, making his escape.

However, his wild laughter lasted less than half a second before it stopped abruptly, like a duck whose neck had been squeezed.

His body froze in place, his three eyes, previously filled with ecstasy and greed, now brimming with an incomprehensible, extreme terror.

He slowly used all his strength to lower his head and saw a hand, a hand that had appeared at some unknown time, resting gently on his shoulder.

“You, when did you...”

“When you self-destructed your arm.”

It was Su Lei.

“Your disguise was very good...”

“Whether it was that utterly humble posture or that astonishingly detailed intelligence, it was all perfect.”

“It's just a pity you overlooked one thing.”

“In this world, there's never been a free lunch.”

“Intelligence so detailed that it knew exactly how many eavesdropping runes Star Lord had installed in my room—do you really think its value is only a Valkyrie Empire command key that I casually discarded?”

Boom!

Su Lei's words exploded in Three Eyes's mind like a Nine Heavens divine thunder!

His body began to tremble uncontrollably, and cold sweat instantly drenched his back.

He finally understood; he had been exposed from the very beginning.

His seemingly flawless disguise was nothing more than a ridiculous, flawed solo act in the eyes of the other party, who seemed to be able to see through past and future.

The reason the other party hadn't exposed him on the spot, and had even gone along with accepting his loyalty and intelligence, was simply to see how much trouble this little fish hiding in the dark intended to stir up, or perhaps, the other party simply wanted a cannon fodder to step on a landmine for him at the last moment.

“You, you already knew...”

“I don't know who is behind you...”

“But now I do.”

The moment the words fell, Su Lei's hand on his shoulder gripped tightly!

Crack! A crisp, bone-chilling sound of bones shattering rang out, and Three Eyes's shoulder blade, constructed from special memory alloy, was effortlessly crushed like a fragile biscuit!

“Ah!”

Su Lei's hand, like a parasitic growth, moved down his shoulder.

Everywhere it passed, whether it was his proud muscles or his countless modified bones, they were all ground into paste, inch by inch, before that power!

“No!”

“Mercy! Lord, have mercy!! I was wrong! I'll tell you everything!”

Three Eyes completely collapsed.

He struggled frantically, trying to escape the demonic claw that brought him endless pain and despair, but all his strength seemed so pale and powerless before the other party.

He could only watch helplessly as his body was dismantled piece by piece under that hand.

Finally, Su Lei's hand stopped at his wrist, which was spasming from the intense pain but still clutched the key tightly.

“Now, return what doesn't belong to you.”

“I, I...”

Three Eyes still wanted to say something to beg for mercy, but Su Lei had clearly lost all patience.

He twisted his wrist, and with a muffled thump, Three Eyes's entire arm, clutching the key, was forcibly torn off at the shoulder!

Dark green, foul-smelling blood gushed out like a fountain.

Su Lei casually grabbed the severed arm, along with the key tightly clenched in its hand, and then, like throwing a disgusting piece of trash, he tossed the remaining half-body of Three Eyes, who had already fainted from pain, into the slowly healing spatial rift.

“Go back and tell your master.”

“Next time, send someone smarter.”

After doing all this, Su Lei turned around again and looked at the two true opponents not far away, who had merely watched the farce with cold eyes from beginning to end.

“Now, there are no flies to bother us.”

“We can continue.”

However, just as Su Lei's words fell, and just as Three Eyes's severed arm, still clutching the key, was about to be put into his storage space, another sudden change occurred!

The spatial rift that Three Eyes had torn open through self-mutilation, its edges, without any warning, lit up with an extremely eerie blood-red glow!

Immediately after, a monstrous giant claw suddenly stretched out from the other end of the rift!

Its target was not Su Lei, nor Star Lord or Gravekeeper, but Three Eyes's severed arm that Su Lei held in his hand!

The timing of this giant claw's appearance was too precise and too cunning.

This was a long-planned, calculated move, surprising everyone, a 'mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind' from a higher Realm!

“Seeking death!”

Su Lei was the first to react.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the palm of his other free hand instantly covered with a layer of golden Divine Soul fire, unhesitatingly grabbing at the blood-red giant claw that exuded endless evil Qi!

However, the blood-red giant claw completely ignored Su Lei's terrifying attack, which was capable of directly scorching the Soul Origin.

It preferred to let its claw sizzle and its flesh melt in the golden Divine Soul flames, forcibly snatching the severed arm from Su Lei's hand in a near-self-mutilating manner!

Clearly, for the unknown entity on the other side of the rift, the key to Purgatory was far more important than this giant claw, which was constructed from pure energy!

Just as the severed arm was about to be dragged into the unknown spatial rift by the fearless blood-red giant claw, at this critical moment, a beautiful female voice, as clear and cold as ten thousand years of profound ice, echoed without warning through this chaotic space, which was heading towards its final destruction.

“Ice Phoenix, Nirvana!”

As these four words fell, the space behind Three Eyes, which had begun to slowly heal, suddenly solidified completely!

A divine Phoenix, with a wingspan exceeding a hundred meters, constructed from Ice Crystal and Ice Law, tore through layers of spatial barriers and descended fiercely from a world of absolute zero, a world of ice and snow!

The moment it appeared, the raging energy storm at the core of Fractured Bone Town, its destructive speed suddenly slowed!

The surrounding temperature plummeted in an utterly unreasonable manner!

“This is, Ice Law! Ice Law of supreme purity!”

Star Lord felt from the Ice Crystal Phoenix a sense of Ice Law that was in no way inferior to that of Astrea, the Queen of the Valkyrie Empire!

How could this be!

How could there be a second person in this Universe, besides that born Ice Dominator, who could comprehend Ice Law to such a terrifying Realm!
