199: Chapter 199 shocked the entire audience.
Quiet.
A deathly silence.
Inside the cockpit of the entire patrol ship, one could hear a pin drop.
Whether it was the surviving Three-Eyed Clan "Judicator" warriors.
Or One-Eyed Dragon Old K of the "Ghost" Squad.
Everyone's brain completely froze at this moment.
They stared blankly at the lazy youth who was slowly withdrawing his fist, without even a single wrinkle on the corner of his clothes.
Their minds were a complete blank.
One punch.
Yet another punch.
That powerful Three-Eyed Clan elite commander, who was as invincible as a god in their eyes.
Was just gone like that?
Beaten into a cloud of dust by a single punch?
What... what the hell kind of power is this?!
Is this really something a human can do?
They felt like they were watching the most absurd and surreal mythological epic.
And that youth was the sole protagonist of that epic.
A true Demon God.
"Cap... Captain..."
Old K's voice carried an uncontrollable, violent tremble.
He looked at the back of the figure who had completely become a "god" in his eyes.
He felt his legs going weak uncontrollably.
He wanted to kneel.
He wanted to prostrate himself and worship that man.
He was now incredibly grateful.
Grateful that when he provoked the other party in the bar earlier, the other party had only "snapped" his wrist.
Instead of giving him a punch like that.
Otherwise, he would probably have turned into a pile of dust scattering in the wind by now.
As for the remaining Three-Eyed Clan "Judicator" warriors.
After experiencing a brief moment of extreme horror.
Only endless fear remained in their hearts!
Their warrior hearts, which had undergone the most brutal training and had long since become as solid as rock.
Completely collapsed at this moment!
"De... Devil! He's a devil!"
"Run! Run fast!"
They threw away their weapons like madmen!
Like a swarm of headless flies!
They fled desperately in all directions!
They wanted to escape from here!
They wanted to escape from this human who filled them with more fear than the most terrifying demon in hell!
However.
How could Wang Pingan possibly give them this chance?
"Want to run?"
A cruel smile filled with "sympathy" and "pity" appeared on his face.
"Did I give you permission?"
The moment the words fell.
A mysterious ripple filled with an ethereal and vast aura flashed through his pitch-black eyes!
Grand Void Contemplation Scripture!
Activate!
Buzz—!!!
An invisible yet vast as the sea spirit power, seemingly from the oldest and most primal source at the birth of the universe!
It spread silently in all directions with him as the center!
The next second.
These Three-Eyed Clan "Judicator" warriors who were fleeing madly.
Their bodies suddenly stiffened without any warning!
All light instantly vanished from their eyes, which were filled with shock and fear!
They became hollow and dazed.
It was as if, in this instant, all of their souls were forcibly ripped from their bodies by an invisible giant hand!
And then dragged into a boundless absolute spirit domain filled with "nothingness" and "chaos"!
There.
Time lost its meaning.
Space lost its concept.
They could only watch helplessly as their consciousness, their souls, their everything.
Was bit by bit decomposed, assimilated, and completely obliterated within that eternal "nothingness".
Not even the slightest trace of their existence could be left behind.
Meanwhile, in the outside world.
Under Old K's completely numb gaze, which was filled with awe.
Those dozen or so overbearing Three-Eyed Clan elite warriors.
One by one, like mud with all its bones removed.
Silently collapsed onto the ground with "thud" after "thud".
Their bodies were intact.
But their souls had been completely annihilated.
From start to finish, the entire battle.
Had not exceeded a minute.
"Done."
Wang Pingan patted the non-existent dust off his hands.
A "bored" expression appeared on his face.
"So dull."
"I thought I could play for a bit longer."
As he spoke, he walked over to Old K, who was still slumped on the ground, looking dazed and unable to even speak.
Then he reached out his hand.
Under the old fellow's gaze, which was filled with terror and awe.
And helped him up from the ground.
"Alright, stop playing dead here."
Wang Pingan's voice was still just as lazy.
"Hurry up and get up to clean up the battlefield."
"Strip everything off these 'couriers' for me."
"Don't let a single one go."
"Ye... Yes! Captain!"
Old K woke up as if from a dream!
He looked at the youth before him, whose face still bore that warm and harmless smile.
He felt like he was dreaming.
A bloody, eerie, yet infinitely shocking and surreal dream.
He didn't dare to be the slightest bit negligent!
He hurriedly acted like the most obedient elementary student!
Scrambling up from the ground!
Then, with a posture bordering on "fanaticism"!
He rushed forward!
And began madly looting "spoils of war" on this "corpse-strewn" battlefield filled with "treasures"!
Meanwhile, Wang Pingan paid him no more attention.
He walked over to the corpses of the several "Ghost" Squad members who had been shaken to death by the Three-Eyed Clan commander's spirit pressure earlier.
A look of "regret" appeared on his face.
"Sigh."
"I told you all not to resist."
"Why wouldn't you ever listen to advice?"
He shook his head and then reached out his hand.
Lightly placing it on one of the already cold corpses.
[Talent Effect 2: Life Siphon!]
Activate!
Buzz—!
An invisible yet eerie suction force filled with an aura of "devouring" and "plundering"!
Burst forth from his palm!
The next second.
That originally lifelike corpse shriveled and withered at a speed visible to the naked eye!
It was as if all the life source power in his body had been completely drained in this instant!
Eventually turning into a desiccated corpse filled with the aura of death.
And a cold system notification sounded in Wang Pingan's mind.
[Ding!]
[Successfully siphoned the life source power of a 'Sixth-Grade Mid-Stage Martial Artist'!]
[Energy conversion in progress...]
[Conversion complete!]
[Congratulations host, you have obtained 50,000 pay-to-win points!]
Looking at the number on the system panel that had surged once again.
A brilliant, smug smile filled with the aura of a "unscrupulous merchant" appeared on Wang Pingan's face.
"Not bad, not bad."
"Waste utilization, energy saving, and environmental protection."
"I, Wang Pingan, am indeed a moral and idealistic environmental pioneer who has transcended low-level tastes."
He thought happily to himself, then followed suit, "recycling" all the "life source power" of the remaining unlucky squad members completely.
[Congratulations host, you have obtained 30,000 pay-to-win points!]
[Congratulations host, you have obtained 45,000 pay-to-win points!]
...
After this series of operations, his pay-to-win points balance, which had severely "shrunk" due to learning the divine skill, recovered a bit.
Just then, Old K's voice, filled with excitement and fanaticism, came from not far away.
"Captain! Captain! We've made it! We've made it! We've struck it rich!"
Old K was seen running over eagerly, holding a large pile of various glowing objects that looked like high-tech equipment parts and energy crystals.
His already hideous One-Eyed Dragon face was now smiling like a blooming chrysanthemum.
"Captain, look! These Three-Eyed Clan scumbags really have quite a few good things on them!"
"Just these standard 'Nether Energy Crystals' alone, we've found over a hundred! This stuff sells for over a thousand spirit crystals each on the black market!"
"And their 'Bio-colonial Armor,' even though it's smashed, the material is good stuff! Melt it down and it'll be worth at least tens of thousands of spirit crystals!"
As Old K spoke, he piled up all the spoils before Wang Pingan like he was presenting treasures.
Wang Pingan only gave them a lazy glance before turning his gaze to the three black Three-Eyed Clan Assault Ships still quietly floating in the void.
"What's so special about that scrap metal?"
He curled his lip and said in a matter-of-fact tone:
"The real prize is in those three 'delivery trucks'."
"Let's go, I'll take you to see."
"What it means to truly... get rich overnight!"
Having finished, he ignored the still-dazed Old K and stepped toward the nearest Assault Ship.
Old K looked at his dashing back and then at the pile of spoils on the ground, which seemed like a "huge sum" to him.
He felt like his brain couldn't quite keep up.
...
Half an hour later.
After Old K and the remaining squad members had thoroughly and carefully looted the three Assault Ships inside and out.
All of them were completely stunned by the massive amount of spoils.
"Cap... Captain..." Old K's voice became somewhat stuttering due to extreme excitement and disbelief.
Trembling, he handed a newly compiled list to Wang Pingan.
"This time... this time we... have captured a total of..."
"Low-Grade Spirit Crystals... two hundred thousand!"
"And various Three-Eyed Clan special alloys, energy cores, and high-tech equipment... all added up, the value is at least over three hundred thousand spirit crystals!"
"Five... five hundred thousand..."
Old K felt like his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Five hundred thousand spirit crystals!
This astronomical sum was enough for their "Ghost" Squad to do nothing and lie flat comfortably in the "Abyss" Base for ten years!
And now, they had only used less than an hour.
And... they got it?
This is faster than robbing a bank, for fuck's sake!
"Only two hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Crystals?"
However, after hearing the report, Wang Pingan only lazily knitted his brows.
A look of "disdain" and "dissatisfaction" appeared on his face.
"These Three-Eyed Clan paupers."
"How can they have so little property?"
"It's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth."
He curled his lip and then fixed his gaze on Old K, who was completely dumbfounded.
An unfathomable smile filled with "mischief" appeared on his face.
"Old K ah..."
