The Inducer
The first to break free was the One-Eye Lei Kun.
He jolted awake, and the blankness in his bloodshot eyes quickly faded, replaced by an almost manic fervor and worship.
He did not answer Chen Fan's question, nor could he answer it.
He let out a roar that seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat, then turned abruptly and charged once more into the boundless sea of black insects!
The flashes of the blade were more ferocious and decisive than ever before!
"Kill!!"
Leng Yan and the Monkey followed closely behind. They subconsciously glanced at Chen Fan's still calm, even somewhat frail, back. It was this back that had just wiped out thirty-three terrifying beings capable of destroying them.
In an instant, all the previous fear melted away like ice and snow.
Instead, there was an unprecedented sense of absolute peace and high morale, originating from the depths of their souls.
With a god standing behind them, what do they have to fear?
"Follow Chen Feng!"
The Monkey roared, its hands flashing across the Optical Brain, creating afterimages as interference waves and energy shields precisely covered Lei Kun's charging path.
Leng Yan remained even more silent. She repositioned her Sniper Rifle, her breathing eerily steady. Each bullet precisely pierced the head of a high-level Insect Race, clearing away the threats on Lei Kun's flank.
The three men's fighting style underwent a qualitative change at this moment.
They are no longer cannon fodder struggling to survive, no longer carefully calculating their physical strength and ammunition.
They transformed into a highly efficient and ruthless harvesting machine, working seamlessly together to advance in the opposite direction amidst the endless Insect Tide, their momentum unstoppable, as if they were about to completely pierce through this black ocean!
Looking at the three men whose fighting spirit had been rekindled, Chen Fan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
Not bad, I wasn't scared out of my wits.
He didn't say anything more and turned to continue his unfinished cleaning work.
He maintained his leisurely stroll, hands in his pockets, and wherever he passed, Insect Race of Zerg vanished like dust wiped away by an invisible hand in absolute silence. His efficiency remained outrageously consistent.
Meanwhile, aboard a stealthy reconnaissance ship in the distance.
Li Minglei finally snapped out of the excruciating pain in his palm.
He stared at the figure on the Light Screen, so leisurely it seemed as if he were strolling in his own backyard, and his endless fear finally transformed into a twisted, extreme resentment.
"We can't let him live! Absolutely not!"
This thought, like a wildly growing poisonous vine, instantly entangled his entire Divine Soul.
He knew that if this monster were allowed to live, he and the Frenzied Flame Squad would never have peace.
A flash of madness crossed his eyes as he immediately activated his squad's encrypted communication system and issued orders to another, even more brutal battlefield.
"Gao Hu! Immediately activate the 'Type B-7 Infrasonic Inducer,' lock the coordinates to the A-3 Gate direction, and set the power to maximum. Execute immediately!"
A horrified voice came from the other end of the communicator. "Gao Hu! That's equipment strictly prohibited by the Military Department orders! And... it will lure that 'Void Ripper' from our defense zone! We..."
"Shut up! Follow orders!" Li Minglei growled menacingly. "These are orders!"
The infrasonic inducer can simulate the unique fluctuations that occur when a high-level Life Core matures, making it fatally attractive to certain Insect Races with spatial abilities.
Li Minglei's plan was extremely shrewd.
As long as they lure the Void Ripper, whose strength has reached the peak of the Sixth Grade Undying Realm, which their team is responsible for, to the A-3 Gate, even if they can't kill that monster named Chen Feng, they can definitely put him in a hopeless situation.
Afterwards, no one knew anything about it, and no one could find any evidence!
Just as the Pioneer Team Seven was efficiently clearing the battlefield, their ranking on the War Zone's Light Screen was rising at a rocket-like speed, attracting the attention of countless people. Inside the War Zone Command Center, Commander Huo Yan was standing with his hands behind his back, staring intently at the monitoring screen of area A-3.
His deep eyes held a mixture of awe and admiration.
However, the next second, his brows furrowed sharply, and his gaze instantly shifted to the macro tactical map beside him.
On the map, a huge red dot representing the Seventh Grade Immortal Realm is rapidly deviating from its original location B-2 War Zone, along an extremely abnormal trajectory, heading straight towards the A-3 Gate like a blood-red arrow released from a bow!
"What happened?!"
Huo Yan's voice suddenly turned cold.
A-3 Gate protection zone.
Just as Chen Fan was preparing to wipe out the last batch of stubborn Insect Race and completely end this "warm-up exercise," his movements suddenly stopped.
He slowly raised his head and gazed into the distant depths of the starry sky.
A terrifying pressure, far exceeding the combined power of the previous thirty-three Hive Executioners, tore through space like an invisible dark curtain and descended suddenly!
The suffocating pressure even plunged the lower-level Insect Race on the battlefield into unprecedented chaos and fear. The three men, Lei Kun and his companions, who were rushing forward frantically, also paused in their movements, feeling a tremor originating from the level of life itself.
Chen Fan's eyes finally changed.
He abandoned his usual nonchalance, and for the first time, a genuine interest appeared in his dark pupils.
He murmured to himself.
"Finally, someone decent has arrived."
War Zone Command Center.
Dead silence.
Huo Yan stared intently at the enormous red dot on the tactical Light Screen that represented the "Void Ripper," which tore through space with an unreasonable trajectory and hurtled straight toward the A-3 Gate.
A perfect straight line.
This was neither an encounter nor an accident.
This was a premeditated assassination!
A chilling killing intent erupted from Huo Yan, and a fine layer of white frost condensed on the solid Alloy walls of the entire Command Center.
"Report the latest position of Seventh Grade combatants!"
Huo Yan's voice was devoid of any emotion.
The Adjutant, Zhou Yan, looked extremely pale, and his lips were trembling.
"Commander, the Dragon Fang Squad is currently on a critical mission in Sector B-7, but they are being held up by three Alien Races of the same level. At the earliest... it will take them at least five minutes to break free and provide reinforcements!"
Five minutes!
This number struck like an invisible hammer, pounding hard on the hearts of everyone in the Command Center.
Five minutes is not time for a target being targeted by "Void Ripper," Sixth-Grade Peak king with the ability to traverse space; it is an epitaph.
"Bang!"
Huo Yan slammed his fist into the Alloy control panel in front of him, and the half-meter-thick surface was instantly covered with terrifying spiderweb-like cracks.
His eyes were bloodshot as he spat out the command, word by word, through clenched teeth.
"Seal off the B-2 War Zone! Investigate! Who used the forbidden decoy?"
Meanwhile, the A-3 Gate defense zone.
As the terrifying pressure, powerful enough to distort light, descended, the endless Insect Tide that had been frantically attacking the defensive line instantly fell into an eerie silence.
