Chapter 2843 - 2844: Encirclement and Slaughter

Chapter 2843: Chapter 2844: Encirclement and Slaughter

Xue An remained noncommittal.

Duan Muguang and Wu Jun shot up into the sky, entering through the passage beneath the spaceship.

The interior of the spaceship was arranged similarly to the Starry Domain of the Palace of Light, with dazzling golden light everywhere.

Duan Muguang and Wu Jun were not strangers to this place, so they naturally found their way to the ship’s main hall.

At this moment, a man was sitting in a chair waiting for them.

As they arrived, the man’s lips curled into a mocking cold smile.

"Thirty finger snaps late. Useless indeed is just useless!"

Wu Jun’s face flushed red with anger, eyes blazing with fury.

Just then, Duan Muguang pulled him aside, showing great respect with a bow.

"Liao Siduo, we apologize sincerely. The two of us were unprepared, which caused some delay!"

"What? Are you blaming me for not notifying you beforehand?" Liao Zhiji, holding the position of Siduo, retorted coldly.

"I wouldn’t dare!" Duan Muguang immediately lowered his head and said.

"Hmm, I suppose you wouldn’t have the guts!" Liao Zhiji leaned back in his chair, saying indifferently, "Enough with the nonsense. How did the task I assigned to you go?"

"To report, Liao Siduo, most of the tasks you assigned have been completed, except for..."

Duan Muguang raised his head, looking troubled, "Except for the thirty Monster Hearts you requested, I haven’t been able to gather."

"What?" Liao Zhiji exploded in fury, "Useless indeed! You can’t even gather thirty Monster Hearts? What good are you two?"

"Yes, yes, yes, I realize my mistake, but honestly, this planet is too small. There are only a few creatures capable of condensing Monster Hearts. After hunting a batch, it’s become far more difficult to gather the rest!" Duan Muguang explained calmly.

But Liao Zhiji wasn’t having it, slamming the armrest angrily, "Stop making excuses! You were ordered to gather every single thing properly, I don’t want to hear anything else!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Jun could no longer hold back, ignoring Duan Muguang’s restraint, he shouted in anger.

"Liao Siduo, aren’t you being unreasonable? We only have control over this tiny planet and it’s impossible to gather all the things you want. Your unyielding demands are clearly meant to make things difficult for us!"

Liao Zhiji suddenly calmed down, sneered and said, "You’re right, I am deliberately making things difficult for you two. What can you do about it?"

"You... you..." Wu Jun’s face alternated between blue and white with anger, on the verge of cursing.

Still, Duan Muguang remained composed, pulling him behind himself, he asked in a deep voice, "Liao Siduo, have we two ever offended you?"

"No?"

"Then why do you repeatedly target us?"

"Haha, no reason needed, I just enjoy taking aim at you two. How’s that?" Liao Zhiji laughed arrogantly.

Even someone as composed as Duan Muguang couldn’t help but show a flash of anger.

Wu Jun erupted on the spot, "Liao Zhiji, you bastard! At last, you’re telling the truth! I knew you had ill intentions, and that the things you made us gather have been lining your pockets!"

Liao Zhiji wasn’t enraged being pointed at and scolded, instead showing a cold smile of a scheme succeeding.

"Exactly, I’ve been greedily pocketing them. What can you do? Today, I’m telling you, since you can’t gather what I wanted, don’t blame me for being merciless!"

"What? You’re intending to kill us both?" Wu Jun shouted furiously.

"You guessed right!" Liao Zhiji sneered.

At that moment, numerous Palace of Light disciples dressed uniformly flowed from various passages in the hall, surrounding Duan Muguang and Wu Jun.

Seeing the situation, even someone as slow as Wu Jun realized something was off.

For Liao Zhiji’s behavior was strange; first he arrived unannounced, then continually targeted the two.

Looking at the current scenario, he was attempting to eliminate them quickly!

Wu Jun seethed with rage, ready to explode.

Yet Duan Muguang remained as calm as ice, asking three words, "Why is that?"

"Why? Haha, I’ll tell you the truth, it’s all because of your master!"

"My master? What happened to her?" Duan Muguang immediately inquired.

"She’s fine, but as her disciples, you’re the ones in trouble! Kill them!" Liao Zhiji lazily ordered, casting himself back to enjoy the upcoming slaughter.

For these two pawn’s departure meant nothing to him, he merely calculated how to complete this beautifully, gaining favor from that prominent figure.

He never considered what happened if surrounding them failed!

For in his view, it was impossible.

Just two wastrels inheriting some shallow lineage, capable of no real prowess.

But these thoughts were quickly dispelled by Duan Muguang and Wu Jun’s actions.

Despite being surrounded by so many, Duan Muguang and Wu Jun kept their composure, working in perfect coordination.

Furthermore, their moves frequently astonished, occasionally performing incredible feats, causing pressure on the disciples instead of the reverse.

Witnessing this, Liao Zhiji’s face finally showed a hint of seriousness.

"Impressive, you two have some skill. But unfortunately, this is my absolute domain—a place where you’ll die regardless!"

As his words fell, black turrets extended from every corner of the hall.

These turrets were inscribed with dense secret patterns, emitting a chilling intimidation.

Seeing these turrets aimed at them, Duan Muguang and Wu Jun’s expressions changed dramatically, immediately attempting an escape.

But Liao Zhiji wouldn’t allow that, coldly laughing, "Fire!"

The turrets started charging, launching attacks at Duan Muguang and Wu Jun.

Blinding beams of white light encroached from all directions, blocking all escape routes for Duan Muguang.

The duo sighed in despair, believing all hope was lost.

Just then, the incoming white light was suddenly reflected back.

As if an invisible mirror appeared in front of them.

This surprising dramatic change stirred immediate chaos.

The turrets exploded first, followed by the demise of those surrounding Duan Muguang as collateral—a universal slaughter by the white light.

Frightened out of his wits, Liao Zhiji bolted to escape, only to have a sword light pressing against his throat as a calm voice spoke.

"Don’t move!"
