He Xingjue had thought that Li Ze's movements were already graceful and exquisite while they were traveling, but when the other party rushed toward the warship like a ghost, He Xingjue realized that his understanding of Li Ze was still too shallow.
Is this the strength of an SSS-level being?
He Xingjue secretly said.
After realizing the gap between himself and Li Ze, he was not only not ashamed or discouraged, but also full of ambition. He believed that one day he would break through the SS level and enter the SSS level.
The next second, He Xingjue also moved. He didn't go to the crowded place, but chose two space pirates in the corner.
“A few days ago, more than ten of our brothers died. They were all killed by someone who slashed their necks. Apart from the neck wounds, none of them had any other wounds on their bodies. We don’t know who did it. They are so powerful.”
"The spatial buttons on their bodies are gone, which means they were robbed. But such a powerful person must be a high-ranking member of the group."
"What are you saying? Do you think these big shots are short of money? Would they kill their own people to rob them?"
"Uh, that makes sense. But if it's not someone from our group, then who is it? Someone from another space pirate group?"
I guess so.
"Damn! That's so underhanded, a competitor attacking another competitor!"
"Isn't that because we suffered heavy losses of personnel recently, and everyone was unable to go out and had no income for several months?"
"It's not that bad—"
Two soft "pfft" sounds were heard, very close together.
The two space pirates stared at each other in shock, their eyes wide and almost popping out.
"Why aren't you making a move?" Li Ze asked He Xingjue. Seeing He Xingjue hiding to the side without moving, he assumed that the other party was not confident, so he took action for him.
He Xingjue looked at the space pirate who had been killed by having his neck slit with a single blow and said meaningfully, "Your method of killing is quite efficient."
"Die as quickly as possible," Li Ze said casually. "You guys handle the rest. I'm going to kill someone. Don't wait for me, I'll go back myself."
"Are you going to kill Els?" He Xingjue asked.
Li Ze hummed in agreement, "That person threw me into the sea of stars. If I don't avenge this, how can I face my demonic sect—"
Realizing something was wrong, Li Ze quickly shut his mouth, stealing a glance at He Xingjue.
However, He Xingjue felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar after hearing only the first half of the sentence.
Els threw him into the sea of stars, and he went to kill Els. What about him?
He stood by and did not help, and bluntly said he was abandoning him. Did he harbor resentment towards him? Did he hate him too?
He Xingjue dared not ask for the answer. He said with difficulty, "I'll go with you."
"I can manage on my own." Li Ze didn't want to bring He Xingjue along, simply feeling that the other party would be a burden.
“I can keep watch for you. If we encounter any high-tech weapons, I can also be of help,” He Xingjue said.
Li Ze thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay. But you have to be able to catch up with me."
After saying that, Li Ze disappeared from the spot.
He Xingjue's pupils contracted, and he hurriedly followed.
Several days ago, Li Ze had already thoroughly figured out Els's residence and his daily schedule.
It's 8:20 p.m. Els should be at his villa at this time, either drinking with friends or playing in the pool with a group of men and women. His life is quite rich and full of fun.
When Li Ze arrived at the villa, he happened to see a group of scantily clad, almost naked men and women playing in the pool.
But Els was nowhere to be seen.
Li Ze released his divine sense, and soon he found out Els's location.
Inside the study on the second floor of the villa.
Without saying a word, Li Ze climbed the wall and hid himself in the shadows.
He Xingjue, who was in hot pursuit, was astonished to see Li Ze hanging himself on the wall without any assistance. How did he do that?
In the study, Els and Bakhun were sitting at the table, with a screen at the front and seven or eight men opposite them.
This is a video call.
Li Ze was curious about what they were going to talk about, so he pricked up his ears.
At this moment, He Xingjue also silently arrived beside Li Ze and grabbed Li Ze with one hand.
Unfortunately, he couldn't keep his body still on the smooth wall.
"They're having a meeting," Li Ze whispered.
He Xingjue blinked, indicating that he had heard it.
“The empire is facing an unprecedented beast tide in the south, and all the major legions will definitely go to support it. This is our opportunity,” one of the men said.
"We haven't had any income for months, and my staff are complaining every day. It's time to get out there and get some exercise."
"This time, we're going to choose a more prosperous place. You can go to either the Exile Starfield or the Flowing Flame Starfield, we're not going."
"The empire has countless wealthy planets. Everyone should state their own goals to avoid ending up together."
"Ells, why aren't you saying anything? Aren't you space pirates planning to make a move this time?"
"Of course not. I'm just considering how feasible it is to rob Suzaku Star."
"Stop! Don't go looking for your own death. Unless you're already SSS-rank, you'll never come back."
"I'm just thinking about it. After all, it's such a rare opportunity."
"I wouldn't even dare to dream of it!"
......
A group of space pirate leaders were discussing raiding the Empire.
Li Ze looked at He Xingjue, curious about what he would do.
To everyone's surprise, He Xingjue remained calm, seemingly accustomed to such situations.
Sure enough, he said, "They do this all the time."
Li Ze: "......."
The meeting of the space pirates finally ended after Li Ze and He Xingjue hung on the wall for half an hour.
Before He Xingjue could say anything, Li Ze had already casually climbed through the window and gone inside. He was so fast that He Xingjue didn't even have time to stop him.
He's being way too reckless!
He Xingjue followed closely behind. As soon as he entered the room, without even looking at anything, he used his body to block Li Ze's path.
But the next second, the quiet atmosphere in the room surprised him. Why was there no reaction at all?
He Xingjue looked over at Els and Bakun, only to see the two of them frozen in place, their faces filled with shock and their eyes wide with anger.
"What did you do to them?" He Xingjue asked.
"I used demonic energy to control them," Li Ze answered in his mind.
"Don't worry about that, as long as the goal is achieved." Li Zeli said without changing his expression. He pushed He Xingjue aside and walked towards Els. "Leave Els to me. You can take care of that Bakun."
He Xingjue grunted, flashed in front of Bakun, and without saying a word, cleanly and decisively severed Bakun's trachea with a single cut.
Bakhun felt blood gushing from his neck, but he could do nothing and could only watch his life force rapidly ebb away.
Bakhun's face first showed shock and anger, then horror, followed by immense fear, and finally, a mixture of fear and resentment, before he died.
Els watched this scene in utter horror, his pupils dilated and his body trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing Els's expression, Li Ze gave He Xingjue an approving look, "Well done."
It's good to suffer emotional pain before dying.
