Chapter 8: A decisive kill

By the time Shi Jiu discovered Wang Xing's interconnected plan, it was already too late.

On the battlefield, the Blue Star Human team launched a photon bio-energy matrix.

This is a very effective measure to trap escaping photon life forms like Interstellar Killers.

While it couldn't completely trap a high-level Interstellar Killer like Shi Jiu, it could at least hold him back temporarily.

The time it took to hold him back was enough for Di Lanruo to capture the Killer's training ground.

He exerted tremendous effort to finally strike down the derivative human, “Wang Xing,” who had been Entanglement him tightly.

After all, it was a product of material science, and it couldn't be killed in the usual way one would treat organic life forms.

This truly infuriated Shi Jiu to the point of explosion.

Shi Jiu broke through the photon matrix's restraints and charged directly towards Wang Xing.

He intercepted Wang Xing's path.

“You treacherous and cunning Wang Xing!”

Wang Xing replied indifferently, “I didn't plan to kill you here; I still need you to bring the news of my return to Dila Deng.”

“Then let me take your head to meet my supreme leader.”

Wang Xing gave a cold smile, “Just you?”

This was not the first time Shi Jiu had fought Wang Xing.

Shi Jiu had massacred countless planetary lives and slaughtered many Starry Sky fringe races.

And human civilization had only just entered the cosmic spacetime, merely a fringe race not taken seriously by other Starry Sky civilizations.

Wang Xing intentionally slowed his return speed precisely to wait for Shi Jiu to catch up.

The Blue Star Humans' vitality had not yet recovered, and experiencing this war again was adding insult to injury.

That Shi Jiu still had some use for Wang Xing.

This battle was inevitable.

At this moment, thick smoke billowed from the direction of the Killer's heartland, infuriating Shi Jiu.

Shi Jiu, inherently fond of killing and fighting, put down his lethal radioactive weapon, intending to engage in close combat with Wang Xing.

After all, Wang Xing's nano-entropy-reducing shark skin was resistant to energy weapons, so this kind of radioactive weapon was useless against him.

Shi Jiu's eyes were bloodshot, his mouth twitching, as he clenched his fists and lunged at Wang Xing.

This punch, like a hammer of thunder, struck Wang Xing's abdomen, forcing Wang Xing to retreat repeatedly from the powerful impact.

Wang Xing opened his mouth and spat out a puddle of red liquid. Shi Jiu, seizing the opportunity, spread his five fingers, aiming to tear out Wang Xing's internal organs.

At this critical moment, Wang Xing's figure flickered, and like a ghost, he swiftly raised the brightly gleaming Kuaizi Light Spear in his hand.

He executed a rapid turn, moving with unimaginable speed, already surpassing the speed of light!

As he moved, the light spear traced a brilliant arc in the air, instantly unleashing countless chilling cold arrows that struck fear into the heart.

These cold arrows, like shooting stars chasing the moon, carried an unparalleled sharpness, all simultaneously shooting towards Shi Jiu's clawing hand.

A series of crisp sounds rang out as the cold arrows accurately pierced into Shi Jiu's iron-hard hand, deeply embedding themselves, going straight through the palm!

Shi Jiu was immediately subdued by Wang Xing.

Wang Xing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, a charmingly wicked smile playing on his lips, “System, why didn't you tell me my combat power was so strong beforehand?”

A synthesized voice sounded after a beep, “The original host's combat power is far more than this.”

“Then I'm quite looking forward to it.”

“Then I have to tell you, with this war's victory, you will be upgraded to P2.”

“Forget it, you can go.”

Just thinking about this bizarre upgrade method made him angry.

“But I must remind you, before upgrading to Interstellar Marshal, you still have many missions to complete.”

“What other missions?”

“You'll have to explore that yourself.”

“……”

Saying that was as good as saying nothing; it would have been better to say nothing at all.

It was better to let go of this unreliable and argumentative AI System.

Shi Jiu was still struggling in Wang Xing's hand, trying to use the back of the light spear to stab Wang Xing.

But Wang Xing quickly snatched it away, and the light spear was held against Shi Jiu's neck.

“Do you believe I'll slice you piece by piece?”

“Kill or dismember, as you wish.”

“I said I wouldn't kill you, how could I go back on my word?”

“What exactly do you want?”

“You'll continue to be the leader on Trabit Planet, but, you're not allowed to touch my people.”

“What do you mean?”

“You'll be a puppet, understand?”

“Don't understand.”

Shi Jiu looked at Wang Xing with a bewildered expression, making Wang Xing so angry that he kicked him to the ground.

It seemed that the communication gap between Starry Sky races couldn't be explained in a few words.

Then, Wang Xing had to rephrase his words into a language Shi Jiu could understand.

He started by explaining how Wang Xing had disguised himself by Shi Jiu's side these past few days.

Then, these traps were designed to make Shi Jiu take the bait.

Shi Jiu saw the rising combat power of the Blue Star Humans and also saw the returning Wang Xing.

Well, then, his next actions would be correct if he followed Wang Xing's arrangements.

“But why should I listen to you?” Shi Jiu continued to question.

“You're in my hands now. If I throw you out of Trabit Planet, what do you think Dila Deng will do to you?”

As the supreme leader of the Interstellar Killing Organization, who not only massacred the Star Clan, how could he easily let go of a defeated subordinate?

“Then you might as well kill me.” Shi Jiu's face changed dramatically, his pale face already turning black.

Since he would die sooner or later, dying by Wang Xing's hand was better than being bitten and torn apart alive by Dila Deng's hyenas.

Wang Xing blew a light breath, “Then do you believe I'll peel off your skin and wear it myself?”

“You dare?”

“What do I not dare?”

He had peeled off the skins of so many Interstellar Killers.

Without Wang Xing's explanation, Shi Jiu also understood what 'practice makes perfect' meant.

Those Interstellar Killers who had mysteriously disappeared, he now knew their whereabouts.

Shi Jiu suddenly reacted, his face filled with horror, “Could it be that the fire at the last Killing Feast was also set by you?”

“That's right.”

“How dare you?”

The supreme leader who orchestrated the Interstellar Killing, originally came to Trabit Planet to attend a celebration banquet.

Yet he was scared away by a fire set by Wang Xing, acting with such caution.

Perhaps he had killed too many living beings, and it was inevitable that ghosts would often knock on his door.

It seemed that there were quite a few people who wanted his life, and he had encountered no shortage of murders and riots.

Now holding Shi Jiu in his hand, Wang Xing wanted to see when this Dila Deng would show up.

Wang Xing tapped Shi Jiu on the head.

“Either be my puppet, or be skinned alive by me? Choose quickly.”

Having the choice of death handed over to Shi Jiu, he was very conflicted.

Once the high-tech facilities and equipment of the human base resumed operation, a screw would eventually be installed in the back of Shi Jiu's head.

At that time, Wang Xing would point, and he would strike, eliminating the need for such troublesome coercion and enticement.

According to the current time, Di Lanruo had already captured the Killer's training ground.

Once the training ground was breached, the ferocious Starry Sky life forms inside would frantically scatter.

They had experienced life-and-death struggles, which were even more cruel and bloody than battlefield massacres.

To survive, they could even devour Interstellar Killers alive.

As Wang Xing prepared to skin Shi Jiu, the female synthesized voice in his mind sounded.

“Control him with a Soul Catcher!”

“What is a Soul Catcher?”

“Don't you know that neutrinos, these ghost particles, can control a life form's consciousness and dharma body?”

“This……”

Such words actually came from an AI System of the multi-planetary life era.

That superficial scientific knowledge truly felt offended.

This metaphysical viewpoint always waited at the end of the scientific path, ready to deliver a blow at any time.

Under the AI System's guidance, Wang Xing successfully activated the Neutrino Detector's soul-capturing function.

Shi Jiu's soul was then captured and sealed by the Neutrino Detector.

Shi Jiu successfully became a walking corpse, somewhat similar to a Zombie Puppet.

The land behind them had already been occupied by Tang Jiumu and the Blue Star Humans.

Shi Jiu was brought back to the Killer's heartland.

There was also the Killer's largest breeding ground on the entire Trabit Planet.

Those Zombie Puppets also represented the largest population base on Trabit Planet now.

The people inside the Killer's training ground had already killed and driven out most of the Killers in the heartland.

The remnants of this battlefield would still require some time to clean up.

Tang Jiumu, still on the battlefield, sent a message to Wang Xing, “Captain, does your derivative human substitute need a proper burial?”

“Whatever.”

“That's your 'afterlife'.” The bloody sorrow of the battlefield had already numbed the soldiers, Tang Jiumu said playfully.

“Discontinue the derivative human experiment plan later.”

“Why?”

“To be buried with the soldiers who died in this battle.”

Finally, a tombstone was erected for the derivative human Wang Xing, and he was buried alongside the fallen soldiers.

Returning to the Killer's heartland, the early large ranch of the human base.

Wang Xing had Di Lanruo select a group of Zombie Puppets, and then had these Zombie Puppets disguise themselves as new Killers.

This was to conceal the extraterrestrial Interstellar Killers from sight and hearing.

These Zombie Puppets disguised as Killers swayed as they patrolled the surrounding environment near the breeding ground.

Having undergone strict training, they were able to perform quite convincingly.
