293: Chapter 287 The Pirates' Lair

The remaining Star Pirates had lost the grimaces and greed on their faces, replaced by extreme fear.

The man before them was not some pauper at all, but a devil through and through.

"Run!"

Someone shouted, though it was unclear who.

The remaining Star Pirates snapped out of their stupor and scattered like birds and beasts, fleeing frantically toward every corner, wishing only that their parents had given them more legs.

"Want to leave?"

Song Yang had already charged out.

A Star Pirate running at the back felt a chill at the back of his neck, and a large hand, like iron pliers, had already gripped his throat.

Before he could even turn his head, he felt an irresistible force surge through him.

"Crack!"

The sound of cervical vertebrae shattering was crisp and jarring.

The Star Pirate's head hung down at an eerie angle, his body slumped softly to the ground, twitching twice before falling silent.

Song Yang didn't even glance at the corpse on the ground; he kept moving, chasing after another person.

The tall, thin man was terrified out of his wits, using his hands and feet to scramble frantically, trying to climb over the wall.

But just as he climbed halfway, one of his feet was grabbed from behind and yanked down violently.

"Ah!"

The tall, thin man screamed as he fell to the ground, and before he could get up, a large foot stepped heavily onto his chest.

"Pfft!"

He felt as if everything inside his chest cavity had shattered, and a mouthful of blood mixed with organ fragments gushed out, staining the ground beneath him red.

Song Yang lifted his foot expressionlessly and walked toward his next target.

The alley was not long, but for these Star Pirates, it had become a road to the afterlife from which they could never escape.

Whether hiding in a corner or attempting to climb the wall, none could escape Song Yang's pursuit.

Fear even made them forget that they could fly.

The entire process was shockingly fast.

Yang Yueqi, Zhang Xinmei, and Bai Jie leaned against the wall, watching everything in a daze.

Their faces were pale, and their stomachs were churning.

Although they knew these people were villains who deserved their fate, such a direct and bloody scene of slaughter still brought them a huge visual shock.

Especially Yang Yueqi; her small face was deathly pale, and she covered her mouth tightly to keep from vomiting.

She had seen Song Yang kill monsters, and she had seen him kill people, but she had never seen such an efficient and brutal method of killing.

One punch, one kick, one twist.

Simple, direct, yet fatal.

Song Yang shook the slight bloodstains from his hands and turned to walk toward the three women.

"Are you okay?"

"I... I'm fine."

Zhang Xinmei was the first to react; she took a deep breath, forced down the discomfort in her heart, and shook her head.

"Brother Song Yang..."

Yang Yueqi looked at him, her eyes slightly red, feeling both lingering fear and being moved.

Song Yang walked up to her and reached out to ruffle her hair.

"Don't be afraid, it's all over."

"You go back to the manor first; I still have some things to handle, and I'll be back soon."

"Then you..."

Zhang Xinmei looked at him with some worry.

"Don't worry, it's just some small fry."

Song Yang gave her a reassuring look, "Go back quickly; the smell here isn't good."

The three women looked at each other, seeing the worry in each other's eyes, but they also understood that staying here would only be a burden to Song Yang.

"Okay, we'll go back and wait for you, you must be careful," Zhang Xinmei urged.

Song Yang nodded.

Watching the four women support each other as they left the alley entrance, the gentleness on Song Yang's face slowly faded.

He walked over to the corpse of Scarface, who had been killed with a single punch to the head, crouched down, and removed a black metal bracelet from his wrist.

On the bracelet's screen, some unread messages and location signals remained.

Song Yang operated it a few times, and a clear coordinate point was displayed.

He stood up and looked toward the direction of the city center.

...

On the other side of the city, in a vast and luxurious manor.

Here, trees provided shade, with rockeries and flowing water, looking peaceful.

However, beneath those meticulously trimmed lawns, camouflaged lifting platforms were hidden.

Star Pirates' ships with ferocious designs and painted skull insignias were parked on these platforms.

Inside the manor's main building, people were coming and going, bustling with activity.

Dozens of fierce-looking Star Pirates were drinking and partying in the hall, with tables full of fine wine and delicacies.

Directly above the manor, Song Yang's figure appeared quietly.

In the sky behind him, countless dark red vines grew out of thin air.

Those vines were incredibly thick, obscuring the sky.

They twisted and extended in the air like living creatures, then plummeted toward the manor below!

"What the hell is that!"

In the manor, a Star Pirate on guard duty was the first to discover the strange phenomenon in the sky, and he screamed in terror.

The partying in the hall came to an abrupt halt.

All the Star Pirates rushed out, looking up at the sky.

When they saw the blood vines falling like a shroud over the sky, everyone's face was filled with horror.

"Enemy attack! Quick! Get on the ships!"

Someone roared at the top of their lungs and turned to rush toward the camouflaged platforms on the lawn.

However, it was all too late.

The speed of the blood vine was unimaginably fast.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Countless blood vines smashed fiercely into the manor's ground, turning the entire manor into a red jungle.

The thick vines, like giant pythons, crazily strangled every living thing in sight.

A Star Pirate had just run to the front of the ship platform when his chest was instantly pierced by the blood vine, hanging him high in the air.

Another Star Pirate attempted to fly into the sky to escape but was entangled by several blood vines and torn into pieces.

This was no longer a battle, but a one-sided slaughter.

These Star Pirates, who usually burned, killed, looted, and committed every evil, were as fragile as ants before the blood vine.

Just a few minutes later, no more screams could be heard in the manor.

The ground was covered with severed limbs, and fresh blood had dyed the soil and lawn dark red.

Dozens of Star Pirates were slaughtered completely.

Song Yang's figure slowly descended from the sky, stepping onto the ground covered by the blood vine.

He took a look at the carnage everywhere and moved his thought.

The blood vine entrenched across the entire manor began to wriggle again.

Like giant hands with life force, they inserted into the earth, flipping the entire manor's buildings and foundations, along with those Star Pirates' ships, right out from underground!

"Rumble—"

The earth shook violently, with soil and stones flying.

As the entire manor was overturned, a huge metal space, deeply hidden underground, was exposed.

It was a huge cage.

The cage was made of unknown black metal and divided into small compartments.

In each compartment, one or several figures were imprisoned.

Most of them were in rags, their expressions numb, huddled in corners and shivering.

These figures had different appearances; some had pointed ears, some had skin that was a faint blue, and others had small wings on their backs.

Without exception, they were all beautiful alien girls.

The moment the cage was flipped onto the ground, the dazzling sunlight made them subconsciously close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw that figure standing on the ruins, surrounded by countless blood vines.

Just then, the blood vine wrapping around the huge cage began to tighten.

"Clang! Clang! Bang!"

The sturdy metal cage, under the strangulation of the blood vine, was easily torn and destroyed like a fragile biscuit.

The prison doors holding the girls were violently ripped open one after another.

"Go home, you are free."

Song Yang stood in the sky, like a god, looking down at everyone.
