Chapter 573: Chapter 542: Dare to Escape and Die!

“The current situation is extremely severe. Without anyone to hinder them, we will all die and it will be meaningless. No matter what methods you employ, as long as you impede them and stay alive, I will reward you handsomely. If you die, I’ll avenge you and I promise to look after your families and friends,” Mingdu declared solemnly.

Someone opened their mouth, seeming about to say something.

“That level eleven peak robot has been gone for some time now. Even if it returned, it would be too late. Furthermore, if it were to rush and catch up with Lin Yun’s battleship sooner, it might cause Lin Yun to give up on tracing us earlier. This is another chance for a change, we can’t have it back,” Mingdu, aware of what the person was thinking from the emanations of their Mental Strength, spoke up.

“Alright! Your Grace has been extremely kind to me, and now is the time to repay you. I’m going!”

“Milord, take care!”

Very soon, two of them nodded, bowing to Mingdu and said respectfully.

“I’m going…”

“We’re going…”

Once someone led the way, others agreed promptly too.

Mingdu’s analysis was clear. If they didn’t halt the enemies, everyone would die, meaninglessly. So, why stay here? To wait for death?

Whether they moved forward or backward, death was the result; might as well fight!

Of course, some amongst them had a faint idea…

They were well aware of Mingdu’s character!

If they stayed here, they would surely die!@@novelbin@@

It wouldn’t just be waiting for Lin Yun and the Golden Beast to kill them.

Instead, Mingdu would personally execute them!

However, if they were to leave this battleship, it might not be the case!

If they couldn’t battle, then couldn’t they run?

After all, at their current strength level, they were already quite powerful. They could live lavishly anywhere in this Star Domain. Anything was better than death!

Lin Yun and the Golden Beast were targeting Mingdu. If they were to run in other directions, Lin Yun and the Golden Beast might not necessarily chase them. This was their chance at survival!

But such thoughts were all compressed deep within their hearts, they dared not think too much.

Mingdu’s Mental Strength was highly advanced. If they contemplated such matters too much, Mingdu would notice!

Whoosh– whoosh– whoosh–

Soon, each level ten cultivator left Mingdu’s battleship and quickly dashed towards Lin Yun and the Golden Beast.

“Huh? More people are out?”

Lin Yun’s pupils slightly contracted.

Soon, Lin Yun discerned their strength levels and smirked coldly.

“Just level ten cultivators, not even robots. Seems like Mingdu has really reached a dead end…”

He murmured softly.

If the robots were all used up, they could be bought again. But if real humans were lost, they were difficult to replace. He knew that Mingdu had brought along some people, but given Mingdu’s previous strategies, under normal circumstances, these actual humans wouldn’t be sacrificed.

“Hum–”

In Lin Yun’s hand, the bloody longsword thrummed restlessly, emanating a highly exciting emotion. It seemed like it had detected that the enemies ahead were actual people. If Lin Yun used it to fight these people, it could absorb their blood essence.

“Alright! Let’s feed you till you’re satisfied today!”

Lin Yun glanced at the Blood Sword in his hand, a brilliant light flickering in his eyes as he spoke.

As time passed, he absorbed more and more of the medicine from the Heavenly-luck Flower, and his killing intention increasingly weakened. He was now able to use the Blood Sword to improve his strength further.

Whoosh– whoosh–

As another group of people approached, the Golden Beast also seemed very excited, continually letting out low growls, its teleportation speed increasing.

“Run!”

“Go!”

However, to Lin Yun’s surprise, not all of them—these people including Shenger, Shengsan, and the Golden Beast—had approached the crowd before a few of them scattered suddenly, beginning to teleport in different directions.

“Huh?”

Upon witnessing this scene, Lin Yun was slightly taken aback.

What was happening?

However, Lin Yun quickly understood.

These people knew what would happen once they got closer, they were finding a way out, they didn’t want to die!

“Roar–”

Spotting this scene, the Golden Beast was somewhat agitated, it’s aura slightly changed, seemingly wanting to catch up to these people and kill them.

The robots that had previously besieged it had already been killed. Its fury had been almost wholly vented.

Chasing after these people was still venting, but it didn’t matter who it killed.

After all, being a relatively unintelligent Star Beast and still a young one, it didn’t realize its primary enemy was actually on that battleship.

“Hey, buddy, don’t chase after these folks. They are just following orders. The one who sent the robots to deal with us is still on that battleship,” Lin Yun transmitted a message to the Golden Beast.

Now was the critical cogwheel to tail that battleship. Every second was crucial. If the Golden Beast changed its direction of pursuit, they may not be able to catch Mingdu.

“Roar–”

Hearing Lin Yun’s words, the Golden Beast first emanated a confused mental strength, then displayed an understanding one. It quickly stopped bothering with the fleeing personnel, its gaze locked onto the battleship, shining brightly.

Lin Yun’s words, it did not completely comprehend.

However, it grasped that the battleship was their ultimate target.

“Smart move.”

As the Golden Beast skyrocketed, Lin Yun looked at the fleeing crowd and muttered to himself.

“Hiss-hiss-hiss.”

However, this idea only came to him when several powerful energy attacks flew from Mingdu’s battleship, quickly overlapping with the fleeing crowd.

“Boom– Boom– Boom–”

Within their vision, individuals attempting to escape were caught up with by these energy attacks, each one bursting into a ball of fire.

A battleship at the level of an eighth-level technological civilization had comprehensive strength equivalent to a level eleven power. Its sheer attacking power even surpassed a level eleven power. This round of attack held nothing back, and no ordinary level ten power could withstand it.

Those running had the highest power level of late-level ten. Naturally, they could not resist it.

Additionally, there weren’t many who were prepared for an attack, and thus the majority were instantly killed.

“Huh–”

Lin Yun was taken aback.

Was this Mingdu’s attack?

Killing his own people?

How ruthless!

He forced people to their deaths…they weren’t even allowed to escape…

“What!”

“These attacks–”

Not only was Lin Yun shocked, but the level ten powers Mingdu had dispatched were also taken aback.

Honestly, when they saw those people fleeing, some of them were also tempted and even contemplated whether they should escape or not.

However, this round of energy cannon attack was like a bucket of cold water poured onto their hearts.

Everyone who had fled just now, died!

Escaping was a dead end!

“Kill!”

With their path of retreat demolished, there was only one way left. Some of them looked in the direction of Lin Yun and the Golden Beast and shouted.

Their tones carried a sense of tragic determination.

Even though they knew they were marching to their deaths, they still moved forward. Life was always filled with helplessness.

Some who had managed to escape and not be killed quickly turned back. They did not dare to run anymore and charged towards Lin Yun and the Golden Beast together!
