Slaughter

As Xiao Yu's cold, clear voice echoed in Su Zhe's mind, Xiao Yu projected a virtual map for him.

The virtual map clearly marked five blinking red dots, with their strength levels noted alongside—three at the fifth rank of the Stellar level, and two at the sixth rank of the Stellar level.

Decent strength, but not enough to be a threat.

Su Zhe looked toward the front right, where a dense forest lay. He guessed that the squad was likely targeting the Single-Horned Iron Rhinos he had just dealt with, but unfortunately for them, Su Zhe had beaten them to the punch.

"Master, they are heading in your direction."

Xiao Yu spoke up to warn him.

"Good."

Su Zhe nodded, his figure instantly turning into a blurred black shadow, silently merging into the shadows of the forest as he sped toward his target.

"Where did that group of Single-Horned Iron Rhinos run off to?"

In the nearby woods, those few adventurers were chatting idly.

"They should be around here somewhere; they couldn't have gone far."

"Once we take them down, we can become official Universe Apprentice Mercenaries."

"Indeed."

At this moment, they were completely unaware that their position had been locked onto by Su Zhe. Relying on his camouflage ability, Su Zhe hid within the forest, blending almost perfectly into the surrounding environment.

Su Zhe restrained his aura, lurking quietly in the shadows of a massive ancient tree like the most seasoned Hunter.

Through the layers of branches and leaves, he clearly saw the five-man squad.

The squad was surrounding a beast that had just been killed, skillfully carving out valuable materials. Two of them held blades, keeping watch, one held a short knife to handle the carving, and the remaining two were chatting idly with no weapons in their hands—likely Psychics.

Su Zhe frowned slightly; Psychics were considered the most troublesome type of opponent.

However, as long as he could lure them into his domain, even a Psychic would find it impossible to escape death.

"Good luck. Taking down this sixth-rank Stellar level Azure Scale Beast, these scales alone will fetch quite a few Black Dragon Coins." One of the sixth-rank Stellar level warriors, who had a prominent scar on his face, gripped a long sword in his hand.

Another second-rank Force weapon.

Su Zhe sighed inwardly; the adventurers who came to this World Lord world were certainly not simple.

They had come fully prepared, and naturally, they would choose the best weapons available.

"Stay alert. Other squads could pop up in this hellhole at any moment."

The other unarmed sixth-rank Stellar level adventurer scanned the surroundings vigilantly. Invisible Psychic Power radiated outward, but within the Thunder World, Psychic Power was suppressed and could not extend very far.

Su Zhe was hiding just outside the range of his Psychic Power.

Relying on the detectors aboard the Black Ink Star Ship, Su Zhe could grasp the squad's information, while the squad knew nothing of him. This was the advantage of information.

Two Psychics, three warriors; that sixth-rank Stellar level warrior must be the squad leader... Su Zhe thought silently.

Kill the Psychics first!

In the blink of an eye, Su Zhe had figured out the squad's composition and decided on his targets.

And once the targets were set...

Strike!!!

With a thought, Su Zhe did not hesitate in the slightest and erupted into action!

To him now, these adventurers were no different from the beasts; they were all "resources" to increase his strength.

Furthermore.

In the Thunder World, the most dangerous things were the other adventurers themselves. Even if Su Zhe didn't strike first, those people would eventually attack him to obtain the horns of the Single-Horned Iron Rhinos for their assessment, or simply to take the equipment on Su Zhe's body.

"BOOM!"

The Deep Black Flame Domain erupted without warning. Su Zhe had already closed within a thousand meters of them, and the Domain of Fire instantly enveloped all five of them!

"Oh no! A domain!"

"Enemy attack!"

"This is... a Domain of Fire!"

The relaxed expressions on the five squad members were instantly replaced by horror.

The Domain of Fire brought with it an immense sense of oppression.

The Genetic Origin Energy and Psychic Power within their bodies began to drain uncontrollably; this was the Nihility Devouring Flame beginning to exert its power. Trapped within Su Zhe's domain, they were completely unable to absorb energy from the universe to recover themselves!

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by the sound of wind, the sixth-rank Stellar level Psychic turned his head sharply, but Su Zhe had already appeared behind him like a ghost.

"CLANG!"

The Psychic's reaction was incredibly fast.

Almost the instant Su Zhe made his move, twelve rapidly spinning shuttle-shaped psychic weapons materialized around the Psychic, interlocking into a jagged, spiked shield that blocked Su Zhe's strike!

"You're courting death!"

The scarred warrior to the side also reacted, gripping his longsword and thrusting it toward Su Zhe.

Su Zhe twisted his body violently to dodge the attack, and to the utter disbelief of the five men, his right arm suddenly elongated, transforming into a long spear that pierced straight into the Psychic's chest!

Puchi!

The spear, wreathed in Nihility Devouring Flame, tore through the Psychic's force armor and impaled his heart, absorbing the energy within his body to replenish Su Zhe's own expenditure.

That Star-Level 6 Psychic hadn't even had the chance to distance himself from Su Zhe; for a Psychic to be closed in on by a warrior, there was only one outcome: death!

Even at the moment of his death, the Psychic could not fathom how Su Zhe had managed to pull that off.

Before reaching the Immortal realm, while the body still possessed fatal weak points, this ability of Su Zhe's could catch any enemy off guard.

Once one reached the Immortal realm and formed an Immortal God Body, the effect of attacking any part of the body became identical, rendering this move far less potent than it was now.

[Devoured Star-Level 6 Psychic, gained 81,920 Devour Points]

[Psychic rank increased: Star-Level 2]

Having devoured the Psychic, there was no time to process his memories.

Su Zhe spun around abruptly and engaged the scarred warrior in close-quarters combat.

"Second Brother!"

The scarred warrior let out a furious roar. Seeing the Psychic die, he was overcome with grief, yet the speed of his sword strikes actually increased!

Accompanied by those traces of the Concept of Wind, although they couldn't directly break through Su Zhe's defenses, the drain on Su Zhe's energy was real and significant!

"Hm?"

Something was wrong.

Su Zhe frowned and instantly put some distance between himself and the scarred warrior.

This guy... there was something off about him!

"Hahaha!"

The scarred warrior laughed maniacally.

"A Domain! This is a Domain!"

Even while facing the pressure of Su Zhe's Domain, he had actually managed to grasp the Domain of Wind!

Although his Domain of Wind had only just been born, it had carved out a small space within Su Zhe's Domain of Fire, standing in opposition to it!

"Boss, go for it!"

"Kill him! Avenge Second Brother!"

The remaining three adventurers also shouted in unison.
