Qin Feng and his three companions also took off their helmets, offering a solemn salute to these heroes who had fearlessly defended the passengers’ safety with their lives.
However, in the midst of this solemn atmosphere, thick with respect and gratitude...
BOOM—!!!!
A deafening roar, a hundred times more terrifying than any of the previous explosions, suddenly erupted from above their heads!
In an instant, the entire ceiling of the fourth-floor lounge was brutally torn open by an irresistible, terrifying force, leaving a massive, jagged hole!
Countless metal fragments and chunks of rubble rained down like a torrential storm!
Following that, a terrifying figure—so massive it nearly blotted out all light, reeking of endless tyranny and evil—slowly descended from the shattered opening!
It was a terrifying demon, over four meters tall, its entire body covered in skin the color of decaying, gray rock!
Bulging veins writhed all over its body, looking as if they were cast from lead and mercury, radiating a sense of explosive power!
A pair of menacing, curved horns jutted from the top of its head, reaching for the sky!
Its crimson eyes, devoid of all reason, held nothing but an endless craving for slaughter and battle!
"Qin Feng—!!!"
The moment it landed, the terrifying Khorne Demon let out a deafening, crazed laugh filled with boundless battle intent!
Its gaze locked precisely, unshakably, onto Qin Feng!
"Shi Dang—!!!"
Staring at the face before him—long since twisted into that of a demon, yet still familiar enough to stoke a hatred that pierced his very marrow—Qin Feng’s pupils abruptly shrank to the size of a pinprick!
Gritting his teeth, he forced out the name he had already recited countless times in his mind, one syllable at a time.
A towering killing intent, like a bursting dam, instantly flooded his reason!
But, in the end, Qin Feng was still Qin Feng.
Even in his extreme fury, he did not lose that absolute calm which had long been fused with his very soul.
The instant he met Shi Dang’s gaze, which burned with crazed battle intent, he immediately issued a series of lightning-fast commands to Dragon Jade, Nissan, and Ning Jing over the team’s encrypted channel.
"Dragon Jade! Nissan! Ning Jing! Update the mission intel immediately! Target Shi Dang has appeared on the Star of the Milky Way!
Report his latest coordinates and life force index to the mission system now! Move!"
He knew that as long as this intelligence was successfully sent, every available Martial Artist who had accepted the "Hunt for Shi Dang" mission would receive the message instantly and teleport here as fast as possible!
BOOM—!!!!
The instant he gave the command, Qin Feng was already in motion!
Without the slightest hesitation, his entire body transformed into a streak of black-and-gold light, filled with grim determination, and charged head-on toward the mountain-like demon!
He unleashed everything he had ever learned, pushing his skills to their absolute limit!
His first strike was his strongest killing move!
Across from him, Shi Dang let out a roar of pure, crazed ecstasy!
He swung his Giant War Axe—wider than a door and wreathed in Hellfire—and brought it crashing down on Qin Feng, making no attempt to dodge!
Furthermore, the technique he unleashed was a terrifying Level 5 Killing Move, superior to "One Heart, Ten Uses" and with power far surpassing any Fourth-level Killing Technique!
Not only that, but judging by the pressure radiating from his life force, his life force index had already reached a staggering twenty-eight thousand!
BOOM—!!!!
Within just a few seconds, the streak of black-and-gold light and the gray, tyrannical demonic figure clashed dozens of times, like two comets colliding head-on!
Each collision unleashed a terrifying Energy Shock Wave powerful enough to rip through Alloy Armor!
Dragon Jade, Nissan, and Ning Jing, along with the surviving Guard Warriors nearby, could only grit their teeth and pour all their strength into maintaining their Spiritual Shields, struggling to withstand the terrifying aftershocks of the battle that rolled over them like one tsunami wave after another!
Without them, the shockwaves from the clash between these two alone would have been enough to instantly kill every ordinary surviving passenger on the ship!
Another three seconds passed.
Shi Dang and Qin Feng had already clashed for several hundred furious rounds!
"Hahahaha—!!!"
Just then, Shi Dang’s crazed laughter, filled with mockery and disdain, suddenly echoed throughout the entire cabin!
"Qin Feng! Have you become one of those disgusting pests who only knows how to launch sneak attacks?! Calling for backup the moment we start, trying to swarm me?!"
"Don’t you have the guts to face me head-on and fight to the finish?! Don’t you want to properly enjoy the supreme pleasure this battle brings?!"
"Qin Feng! Next time! Next time I’ll be back for your miserable life!"
Shi Dang laughed maniacally as the Chaos Spiritual Energy throughout his body suddenly erupted!
He unleashed a devastating killing move, a technique of "One Heart, Twelve Uses," forcing back Qin Feng, who was already at the end of his rope!
At the same time, he used the recoil to launch his body like a cannonball, instantly diving into an emergency escape pod he had prepared nearby!
