Chapter 1458: Chapter 20: Die Together [Second Burst Update]
âHaha, such a fleet dares to come and court death, how boring! If that strong figure called Jia Yan comes over, it might be a little interesting, but he will still be killed by me.â
The next-level monster said arrogantly after destroying three battleships in one breath.
Within the fleet over there, the bald manâs face looked extremely ugly as he stared at this man, almost at a loss for words.
He understood he was wrong, and gravely wrong. Such a strong figure, he, a mere Star Space Level, let alone fighting, he couldnât even dare to imagine.
Now, he wouldnât talk about going forward to fight, but rather about how to escape.
And just when the next-level monster made that provocative statement about Jia Yan, this bald man initially wanted to say something to appease the opponent to see if he could escape, but at this moment, a clear voice rang out.
âAs you wish. Iâm here, see if you can kill me.â
When these words appeared, a ripple of space faintly appeared not far from the front of the two-hundred-meter-large monster.
âHuh, whatâs that?â
In the starry sky, inside the fleetâs command ship, the bald man looked somewhat stunned at the ripple scene, then showed a slightly confused expression.
He didnât understand what kind of skill this was.
In any case, he already felt that inside that ripple, there was a strong figure.
Then he suddenly turned his head and thought of a certain person.
Jia Yan!
There are many versions of rumors about this strong figure, and in each version, it is said that his power is extremely terrifying. But the one point everyone agrees on is that he can traverse space.
Then speaking of it, this presence must be Jia Yan, no doubt!
Sure enough, when the ripple slowly calmed, a man quietly stepped out from that space.
The two-hundred-meter monster, whose expression was somewhat grave, initially became very cautious when hearing the sudden voice and seeing the ripple in subspace.
But after seeing the appearance of Jia Yanâs avatar and sensing his power, it was suddenly stunned.
Then it burst into wild laughter.
âSo you are Jia Yan, huh? Haha, itâs simply laughable. So you are just a Dignitary. The way people talk about you, I thought you were some formidable strong figure. A mere Dignitary, with a flick of my finger, I can tear you apart.â
âIs that so? As I said, why donât you come and try?â
Jia Yan looked at him calmly.
In fact, Jia Yan had already arrived at the battlefield, but he did not appear initially due to caution. After all, the affairs of this defense line had little to do with him for the time being, and he wasnât concerned about the deaths of a batch of Outer Star warriors. Before seeing the opponentâs actual combat power, Jia Yan would not appear.
Only after seeing the opponentâs fighting style did Jia Yan show up because he had already grasped the opponentâs combat strength.
He was confident.
âHumph, come if you dare. Would I be afraid of a mere Dignitary?â
The next-level monster felt uncomfortable being disregarded by Jia Yan, especially since being looked down upon by a Dignitary was almost intolerable.
Although he said he didnât regard Jia Yan, in fact, he wasnât so casual. He was aware of Jia Yanâs previous records, able to defeat a next-level strong figure. Even as a Dignitary, that kind of strength is by no means ordinary. This monster from the Outer Staromain knew that in the interstellar space, there was a batch of creatures with outstanding talent, for whom fighting beyond their level was as simple as eating and drinking.
Now he thought, Jia Yan might just be one of them.
âSo what if he is a Talented Strongman? Heâs just a creature from a closed place. My fighting style, he might not have even seen before. In battle, I can easily kill him.â
He was very confident because he firmly believed that even if Jia Yan was a genius fighting creature inside the Orion Arm, the outsider combat skills Jia Yan absolutely hadnât seen before.
Moreover, his combat skills were rare even outside.
âDie for me.â
This strong creature didnât care much anymore and attacked directly.
The time he could operate with full strength inside the Orion Arm was limited; dragging it out further would be dangerous.
So he lifted his foot and launched a charge towards Jia Yan.
Attached to this strike was an extraordinary energy.
Then on the surface of his footâs outer layer, a crystalline phenomenon appeared, making his body surface both hard and glossy.
âI see, this guyâs combat skill is to use brainwave power to form an extremely solid defensive layer to some extent. The mirror that appeared in the starry sky before was his brainwave power radiating into the starry sky, reflecting battleship fire, and now he is applying this power to his foot, making it incredibly hard.â
Jia Yan saw this scene and felt that the opponentâs combat skills, which he had previously guessed, could now be fully confirmed.
âHumph, country bumpkin, havenât seen such a combat technique before, have you?â
The monster rushed towards Jia Yan, and on a strike, Jia Yan had no choice but to use his fist to meet the blow, flying back several kilometers.
Jia Yan was able to block this strike effectively, and it didnât surprise him at all. If he couldnât even manage this, Jia Yan wouldnât be worthy of the praise given by creatures in the Orion Arm.
âHavenât seen it? Of course not, because such trash combat techniques arenât even worth the use by the strong figures that deal with me.â
Jia Yanâs avatar shook his head, then an unusual light appeared in his eyes.
Puff.
A gravitational wave fluctuation appeared in the vacuum, but the Secondary Level creature didnât notice it at all. He was infuriated by Jia Yanâs words.
âTrash? You call my familyâs battle techniques handed down through generations garbage! Fine, let me see your advanced combat skills, and letâs find out whose are mightier, my so-called trash techniques or yours.â
In anger, the creature charged at Jia Yan, and then several brainwave powers materialized before him like mirror-like prismatic entities.
These prismatic entities shot at Jia Yan like bullets.
âThis is quite interesting.â
Jia Yan found a hint of interest upon seeing this mutation of power, yet he still believed it posed no real threat to him.
His body entered subspace in an instant, and the piercing prismatic entities almost grazed past his body.
âSubspace Talent, no wonder. With this talent, itâs natural to dominate the small Orion Arm, but in the outside world, itâs just a rubbish skill.â
When the Secondary Level monster saw Jia Yan enter subspace, he was slightly stunned at first but not astonished.
After all, Space Talent was a common combat talent possessed by many in the outer world. The way Jia Yan demonstrated it was just like the strength of an ordinary Space Talent being.
As it happened, his avatar didnât possess Space Talent at all. His ability to enter subspace was a leftover spatial sense from his true body.
The monster approached Jia Yan once again, stabbing towards a certain spot in space with his foot.
As a creature who had battled extensively in the outside world, he understood that ordinary Space Talent creatures, even if they could briefly enter subspace, couldnât possibly stay long in that Twisted Territory, since not every talented strongman could endure the Twisting Strength in subspace for an extended period.
Jia Yan, unlike most, not only could stay in subspace for long durations but used it for travel, making him as rare as pandas on Earth. In Jia Yanâs view, he hadnât met many like himself at all.
Whoosh!
This strike from the Secondary Level monster caused the chosen spot in subspace to become even more distorted. If there were any creature inside about to come out, it would certainly suffer considerable injury.
But there wasnât even a shadow of any creature there.
âHuh? Still able to stay in subspace for so long, I underestimated you.â
The monster was about to express his surprise but suddenly felt his body tighten!
âWhat power?!â
He was shocked at the almost unparalleled tearing force he was feeling.
It was likeâŠ
Gravity?!
He looked over in amazement and saw a rip in the fabric of space, inside which a black object spun continually.
âWhat is this thing.â
He looked at this dark object in shock, but being in subspace, he couldnât make heads or tails of what it was.
As he was tugged by that gravitational force for a moment, the space beside him tore open, and a forearm shot through the rift instantaneously.
âNot good.â
He wanted to flee in a panic, but the effort was in vain. The gravitational force binding him doubled instantly.
Originally, he believed this gravity wasnât insurmountable, but his frustration grew, as the gravitational force suddenly intensified, making his strength insufficient for a quick escape.
The forearm thrusting towards him found its way effortlessly, piercing into his body with a soft sound.
The immense pain and sense of impending doom caused the Secondary Level creature to unleash unprecedented strength.
Because his opponentâs body was small, even though the entire forearm pierced it, it wasnât too deep, merely penetrating the surface.
He struggled to pull out the forearm stuck in his body, but his opponentâs brainwave power had already traveled through the forearm, unleashing havoc on his internal organs and destroying a large portion of them.
âSo, how about it, Lord Secondary Level? Is my strength impressive enough?â
After suffering such severe injuries, his flight became unsteady, and Jia Yanâs body slowly emerged from the twisted space that had attacked him.
His forearm was covered with the blood of the Secondary Level monster, reeking terribly, but Jia Yan didnât mind at all. Besides, smells couldnât be detected in a vacuum.
âYou.â
The opponent, angered upon hearing Jia Yanâs words, recalled saying earlier that he would kill Jia Yan even if he were present, and now he fell silent.
âLord Jia Yan, your strength is indeed formidable, but if youâve done your research, youâd know we beings of no consequence in the outside world are inherently weak. Coming here is merely part of a mission. If youâre willing to do a good deed, let me go, and I promise never to return.â
He pleaded.
âImpossible.â Jia Yan shook his head.
âThen letâs die together; Iâll drag you down with me!â
The Secondary Level monster went berserk; since Jia Yan wouldnât let him go, he might as well fight to the last.
Roar!
Unleashing the second burst.
