According to Yan Qing, the Imperial forces would arrive within a day. To make the encirclement operation smoother, Qin Tian’s first thought was to focus on the spaceship’s cockpit.If the cockpit couldn't react in time when the forces arrived, the warships could easily breach the spaceship’s hatch, allowing the Spiritual Energy User forces to board and engage in boarding combat.However, the cockpit was protected by guards both inside and out, and their defensive strength was not weak, so breaking through the cockpit required prior preparation.Whoosh! Qin Tian used Void Shuttle to enter Poison Widow’s room.“The Imperial forces will arrive soon.”As soon as Qin Tian spoke, Poison Widow’s heart tightened, and a worried expression appeared on her face.She was a wanted criminal of the Empire; even though she had pledged allegiance to her master, the wrongs she had committed could not be undone.She worried that after the Empire annihilated the Hundred Hunt Star Pirates, she would still have to pay the price for her past crimes, such as going to jail!Through the Soul Imprint, Qin Tian knew what Poison Widow was worried about. Indeed, as a mere Imperial Colonel, he didn't have the authority to help Poison Widow clear her name.Furthermore, Poison Widow was not like Li Qi, who had made an indelible contribution in an Evil God Sacrifice that nearly destroyed an entire continent, thereby atoning for her sins and gaining a new identity.However, if it was just to protect Poison Widow, he still had a way.“Later, I will send you into an extradimensional space. You can experience it first. There, you can live normally, but your stamina and energy will be slowly drained, so you cannot stay for too long,” Qin Tian said.What!Poison Widow’s eyes showed deep shock. An extradimensional space where living people could survive? Her master actually possessed such astonishing ability.“Prepare!”Qin Tian placed his hand on Poison Widow’s shoulder, then activated his ability, sending Poison Widow into the Yang Space.This was his first time sending a living person into the Yang Space, and he wanted to see how Poison Widow would react after entering.Buzz—A strange humming sound echoed in her ears. Poison Widow felt her vision blur, and the surrounding scenery instantly changed.The originally dim cabin disappeared, replaced by an boundless, light-golden space. There was no sky or ground, only soft golden light filling every inch of space, as if she were immersed in liquid sunshine.“This…”Poison Widow subconsciously reached out to touch her surroundings. Her fingertips felt a slight resistance, like being submerged in some viscous liquid, yet she could breathe freely.She looked down at her body and was surprised to find a faint golden glow on her skin, as if covered by a thin veil.Suddenly, a strange sensation of being drawn away came over her.She clearly felt that the Spiritual Energy User energy within her was slowly but steadily draining away, like fine sand in an hourglass, being absorbed bit by bit by this space.Even more strangely, this extraction was not painful; instead, it brought a wonderful sense of comfort, as if her entire being was being purified.“Master was right…” Poison Widow murmured, trying to move her limbs. Her movements were a bit slower than in the outside world, but entirely within an acceptable range.She tried to circulate Spiritual Energy User energy and found that although the energy was slowly draining, it did not affect her ability to use skills in the short term.In the distance, some vague outlines were dimly visible in the golden “mist”—these were items and materials that Qin Tian had stored in the space; they floated silently, their surfaces also covered with a faint golden glow.Further away, the space seemed to have no end, only eternal golden light.Poison Widow returned to the room.“How was it? How long do you think you can last in there?” Qin Tian asked.Poison Widow thought for a moment and said, “Five to seven days should be no problem.”Upon hearing this, Qin Tian nodded slightly.The Yang Space had an “energy siphon” mechanism that continuously drew energy from living beings within it. The stronger the individual, the longer they could last.Using Poison Widow, a Tier 5 Spiritual Energy User, as a reference, he could roughly estimate the survival duration for people of various strengths within the Yang Space.“Get ready and bring your belongings.”Qin Tian said seriously, “When the army arrives, I will put you into this space, and I will release you when it is safe.”“Yes, Master.”A hint of joy flashed in Poison Widow’s eyes. This way, she would be able to escape smoothly.After leaving Poison Widow’s room, Qin Tian used invisibility to quietly sneak into the spaceship’s kitchen. There were hundreds of intelligent robots working there, and a Xingdao (Star Pirates) squad was patrolling back and forth.However, with their strength, they naturally couldn’t detect Qin Tian.Qin Tian added a colorless and odorless mixed poison to the food. This poison would not cause any reaction after entering the human body, but once combined with another inducing toxin, it would instantly cause massive damage within the body.Qin Tian was not worried that innocent slaves would be accidentally poisoned.Inside the spaceship, the slaves’ food consisted only of the most ordinary energy paste and energy bars. Even the ace fighters of the Blood Arena only had better-tasting energy paste, nothing more.Afterward, Qin Tian opened a Void Gate and quietly sent some food to Bear.All preparations were complete; now came the waiting phase.“Hundred Hunt Star Pirates.”Recalling those bloody and cruel scenes, killing intent surged in Qin Tian’s eyes.“Your doomsday has arrived.”The next day, in the spaceship’s cockpit, “Don’t you think we’ve been too cautious lately?” A pilot in the cockpit was lounging with his legs crossed, idly chewing on a stimulant tablet. “Ever since our last job, the atmosphere feels so tense, and there’s no talk of starting work again.”“Shut up,” the co-pilot next to him glared. “That’s the Imperial regular army. Do you think it’s as simple as robbing a merchant ship? If—”A piercing alarm suddenly blared!Beep, beep, beep—Warning! High-energy reaction detected!Both men simultaneously jumped up and rushed to the control panel. On the radar screen, fifteen crimson light dots, like drops of blood in clear water, suddenly appeared at an extremely close range!“This is impossible!” The pilot’s face turned ashen, his fingers frantically tapping on the control panel. “Why didn’t the long-range radar give an early warning?!”A holographic projection automatically popped up, showing fifteen streamlined silver-gray warships appearing like ghosts.Their outer armor was covered with special wave-absorbing coatings, and the main cannons on their fearsome bows had already begun charging, their muzzles flickering with dangerous blue light.“It’s the Empire’s Shadow Blade Stealth Destroyers!” The co-pilot’s voice was distorted by fear.The Shadow Blade Stealth Destroyers employed the Empire’s most advanced stealth technology, capable of excelling even in large-scale military conflicts. The radar detection level of the Hundred Hunt Star Pirates’ base ship simply could not detect the Shadow Blade Stealth Destroyers in advance.The main pilot stared intently at the screen. Indeed, it was too close—the distance data on the projection showed that the nearest enemy ship was less than a hundred kilometers away from them. This distance was almost point-blank in terms of space combat!“Sound the alarm!”Woo—woo—A shrill alarm, like a sharp blade, pierced through the entire spaceship. Crimson warning lights flashed frantically in every corridor and cabin.Chaotic warning sounds spread to every corner of the spaceship.“Imperial warships attacking! All hands to battle stations!”In the mess hall, the Xingdao (Star Pirates) who were dining suddenly dropped their utensils, and metal trays crashed to the floor with a harsh clatter. Their expressions quickly shifted from bewilderment to terror, their faces changing dramatically.The moment the piercing alarm blared, the Blood Arena fell into an eerie silence.Red-haired Flag’s wine glass shattered on the floor with a “smash,” and crimson wine splashed onto his shiny leather boots. He widened his eyes, disbelieving, “This… this is impossible…”In the center of the arena, two blood-soaked slaves remained frozen in their grappling posture. The Xingdao (Star Pirates) in the stands were like ducks with their throats squeezed, mouths open but unable to make a sound. A Xingdao (Star Pirates) who was placing a bet trembled, and his chips scattered across the floor with a clatter.“Im… Imperial warships?” Flag’s subordinate stammered, repeating the alarm content, his face pale. “How did they find us? Our route was clearly…”“Stop talking nonsense!”Flag gritted his teeth and said, “Prepare for battle!”The moment the alarm sounded, in the cultivation room, Ling Jue’s pupils suddenly contracted.The energy crystal in his hand shattered with a “crack,” and blue energy flowed from between his fingers.This second-in-command, always known for his coldness, now had a solemn expression on his face.The instant the alarm’s shriek pierced the dead silence of the secret chamber, the dark red blood pool suddenly churned.The viscous blood surged as if boiling, and bubbles burst with a chilling “gurgle” sound.Suddenly, a “splash!”A figure burst out of the blood!Crimson liquid slid down his silhouette, but strangely evaporated the moment it touched his black robe, leaving no trace. A blood-colored mask covered his face, with only two points of eerie light flickering in his eye sockets. He slowly raised his hand, blood droplets that had not yet evaporated still dripping from his fingertips.“The Empire—”His voice was deep and hoarse, like the echoes of countless lost souls in the abyss, his tone no longer the usual composure, but with a rare hint of surprise.“They’re finally here!”Inside the room, Qin Tian suddenly opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.Whoosh~He continuously flickered, throwing the already prepared Poison Widow and Bear into the Yang Space.Immediately after, he entered the void again, his destination—the cockpit.In the dark universe, fifteen Imperial “Shadow Blade” class stealth destroyers simultaneously opened fire. Dazzling energy beams cut through the void, like swords of judgment, instantly tearing through the Xingdao (Star Pirates) outer defense line!Boom! Boom! Boom!Those civilian spaceships, plundered and converted into escort vessels by the Xingdao (Star Pirates), exploded one after another under the precise strikes of the Imperial warships.Blazing fire silently bloomed in the vacuum, and metal debris flew everywhere, like a cruel fireworks display.Base spaceship, cockpit: “Shield energy remaining 67%… 59%… 43%…” The mechanical alarm coldly reported the despair-inducing numbers.The main pilot frantically adjusted the spaceship’s posture, trying to evade the gunfire, but the Imperial attacks were too dense.Every time the shield was hit, the entire spaceship trembled violently. The co-pilot watched the shield energy curve plummet, his face pale. “At this rate, we won’t last three minutes!”Just as everyone in the cockpit fell into despair, three dazzling energy light pillars suddenly burst out from the spaceship’s outer shell!Boom! Boom! Boom!Three figures, like meteors, broke through the spaceship’s armor and directly entered space.They were surrounded by their respective energy fields, carving brilliant trajectories in the vacuum.“It’s the leaders!” The co-pilot excitedly slapped the control panel.The Blood-faced Leader was clad in dark red Starry Sky Armed, with a pair of huge wings condensed from blood spreading behind him. He held a blood-colored longsword, its blade entwined with eerie blood-colored lightning.The second-in-command, Ling Jue’s, Starry Sky Armed was pure black, as if he had merged with the darkness of the universe. He held a ghostly blue energy light blade in each hand, and wherever he passed, even space showed subtle cracks.The third-in-command, “Black Frost” Morris, was clad in ice-blue Starry Sky Armed, holding a crystal-clear ice staff, surrounded by countless ice crystals. Even in the vacuum environment, those ice crystals strangely floated, emitting bone-chilling coldness.The three of them, like meteors, dodged the artillery beams and rapidly flew towards the warships.Witnessing this scene, the members in the cockpit clenched their fists, their eyes filled with strong anticipation.In interstellar warfare, the role of Spiritual Energy User cannot be ignored.A Tier 6 Spiritual Energy User has the ability to destroy a warship; a Tier 7 Spiritual Energy User can contend with ten or even dozens of warships. As for higher-level Tier 8 and Tier 9 powerhouses, they can even, with one person’s strength, contend against an entire fleet.The leader was a Tier 7 Spiritual Energy User, and both the second and third leaders were powerful Tier 6 Spiritual Energy User. With the combined strength of the three, there was hope to break through the blockade of these fifteen warships and carve out a path to survival for the Xingdao (Star Pirates).Just then, the guards stationed at the cockpit door also entered the cockpit. At this ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) moment, no one was more important than the pilots. “You all focus on controlling the spaceship, the rest is up to—”Before the guard captain could finish speaking, suddenly, a burst of blood splattered from his chest, and a green vine pierced through him, its tip carrying bloody heart fragments. Immediately after, a flash of blade light appeared, and his head fell to the ground.Swish, swish, swish! Dozens of vines tied all the guards and pilots like zongzi. Qin Tian, holding his black frost blade, decapitated all the Xingdao (Star Pirates) one by one, leaving only the main and co-pilots.He looked at the three figures flying towards the warships on the combat display, a cold smirk forming at the corner of his mouth:“Overestimating themselves.”In the face of the military’s powerful strength, the actions of these three were no different from moths flying into a flame.But this was also good; with the three most troublesome individuals gone, it was time for him to freely reap.Hundred Hunt Star Pirates, it’s time for you to pay the price in blood for your sins!
