Kill...

Inside the building, which was already battered and on the verge of collapse.

"Is it over?" Su Ke looked around, his face looking extremely grim.

The scene around them had changed drastically. The view above had opened up, revealing a massive hole where debris—including pieces that were clearly structural wreckage—continued to fall. Aside from Lyumila, who had erected a protective barrier, Khair, who had taken the initiative to collide with and absorb the shockwave, had also landed, along with the twelve Stellar Rank guards scattered nearby.

More importantly, Zuo Mu and the others were also safe and sound.

However, Su Ke was not in a good mood; his expression remained dark. If not for Lyumila and the others being here, this disaster would have been inescapable for not just Zuo Mu and his group, but for Su Ke himself.

Was the attack aimed at us? Thoughts raced through Su Ke's mind.

Zuo Mu, Eloy, and the others looked at Su Ke, still shaken by the ordeal.

They had no idea what had happened. One moment they were happily eating, and the next, the world had turned upside down and the building was gone.

The trauma of surviving such a catastrophe left them pale.

The presence of those powerful, unfamiliar Stellar Rank guards also filled them with fear, causing their bodies to tremble involuntarily.

Some even recalled what had happened during the crisis—that Stellar Rank woman... she seemed to call Su Ke "Master"?

But Su Ke had no time to explain things to them now.

"Master, there are people above," Khair said in a deep voice. "And there are quite a few of them."

Previously, smoke had obscured the view, preventing even Su Ke and his group from seeing the situation in the sky. But as the smoke dissipated, the figures in the distant sky began to emerge.

Even the weakest among them were at the eighth or ninth stage of the Apprentice Rank, and with their evolved bodies and enhanced vision, even Zuo Mu's youngest sister could vaguely see the figures flying in the sky ten kilometers above.

"Are they the ones who attacked us?" Su Ke looked toward them.

"Master, what should we do?" Although Khair and the others were strong, Su Ke was the one who truly called the shots.

"How strong is the opposition?" Su Ke didn't give an order immediately, asking this instead.

He wondered if they were part of some faction, given their numbers.

But he couldn't recall ever provoking any such group.

Khair spoke immediately: "One Stellar Rank eighth-stage martial artist, one Stellar Rank seventh-stage Psychic Master, two Stellar Rank sixth-stage martial artists, four Stellar Rank fifth-stage martial artists, two Psychic Masters each... and one thousand Planetary Rank ninth-stage soldiers." His voice carried a hint of gravity. "Master, shall we move to eliminate them?"

Su Ke took a deep breath!

Eight Stellar Rank experts!

One thousand Planetary Rank ninth-stage soldiers!

This force was enough to sweep across the entire Moon River Planet.

These people had appeared for no reason and attacked the New Moon Restaurant building; could they really be targeting him?

Beside him, Zuo Mu, Eloy, and the others were completely stunned by what they heard.

Zuo Mu's father, Zuo De, swallowed hard, his heart racing. A Stellar Rank eighth-stage? The strongest person on their planet was only at the fourth stage of the Stellar Rank.

What shocked them even more was that the giant man had actually asked Su Ke if he wanted to eliminate them.

They were calling Su Ke "Master"—what on earth was going on?

Zuo Mu and Eloy had grown up with Su Ke; they had never realized he had such a powerful background.

"Let's retreat for now," Su Ke said, taking a deep breath.

Meanwhile, there was no fighting above for the moment, as the Blood Spring Society Detachment that had launched the attack had just discovered the unfamiliar experts below.

"There was a high-energy reaction below just now. Did someone make a move?" One of the Stellar Rank members looked at his auxiliary light computer, stunned. "A Stellar Rank ninth-stage martial artist?"

The members of the Blood Spring Society were all taken aback.

"Stellar Rank ninth-stage? This planet actually has such a powerhouse?"

"Are you sure?"

"The light computer can't be wrong. There is such a powerhouse right beneath the building we attacked." A woman with purple skin, her figure wrapped in a tight combat suit, darkened as she looked at the burly dwarf standing in front of them. "Captain."

A Stellar Rank ninth-stage... their strongest member, the captain, was only at the eighth stage.

However, there were many of them, and they were used to working together; it wasn't impossible for them to fight if they combined their strength.

"Where did this powerhouse come from?" The dwarf frowned, sensing trouble.

The most troublesome part was that the other party might think they were enemies because of that previous attack.

But he wasn't too worried. Given their numbers and the reputation of the Blood Spring Society in this sector, the other party should show some restraint if they knew who they were.

The most important thing right now was to complete the mission.

He stopped thinking about the mysterious powerhouse and refocused his attention on the adventurers who were heavily surrounded, not wanting to delay any longer. A cold glint appeared in his eyes.

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!" At the same time, Su Ke made his decision.

Regardless of the circumstances, the other party had indeed attacked the building and struck at them.

This was no longer a matter that could be explained as a misunderstanding. Looking at the casualties around him, Su Ke felt nothing but a surge of anger.

Fear! Anger! Lingering terror! Various intense emotions battered his mind.

A moment ago, he had nearly thought he was dead; this was the first time he had been so close to death.

How could he easily let the murderer go? No matter who the other party was, they would have to pay the price!

"Gather everyone, including those at the manor," Su Ke said coldly.

If he lacked the power, so be it, but now that he had the ability, he would not endure this.

The 900 Planetary Rank level 9 slaves stationed in the C6-grade spaceship outside the city received the order and rushed over, while the 100 Planetary Rank level 9 slaves in the manor also boarded another ordinary spaceship and headed toward this location at high speed.

The entire nest was mobilized!

A spaceship only had a slow start, but once it began to fly, its speed was incredibly astonishing. It could even reach the speed of light in the starry sky of the universe. Of course, it was impossible to reach such speeds within a planet, but it was terrifyingly fast when moving to any location on the planet.

Almost as soon as the people from the Blood Spring Society made their move, a streak of light cut across the distant sky, and a spaceship suddenly appeared, stopping right above Su Ke and the others.

Whoosh, the hatch opened, and teams of Planetary Rank level 9s flew out; this type of powerhouse kept pouring out of the ship endlessly.

The 900 Planetary Rank level 9 slave guards arrived first, and the vast majority of the team were Psychic Masters!

"Let's go." Since he had decided to fight the other party, Su Ke naturally wouldn't be foolish enough to stay behind; instead, he hid inside the spaceship... A C6-grade spaceship was something even a Universe Rank would have to expend great effort to destroy, and a Stellar Rank would be completely powerless against it.

Zuo Mu and the others obediently followed Su Ke into the spaceship, their heads spinning.

One Stellar Rank level 8 and two Stellar Rank level 1s followed them inside to provide protection, and then, whoosh! The spaceship vanished in an instant. In terms of speed... the speed of a spaceship was incomparably faster than a Stellar Rank level 9.

A Stellar Rank level 9 could reach a flight speed of 150,000 meters per second in the vacuum of space, and while it was much slower on a planet due to air resistance, it could still reach 50,000 meters per second.

Khair and Lyumila exchanged a glance and issued an order to the surrounding slave guard team.

"Master's orders... kill!!!"
