’Because they can’t use them yet. Absorbing them directly would just waste the most precious component—the Spirit Brand used to construct the Projection.’
’They’ll wait until they’re actually starting to construct their ’Indestructible Projections’ before they use them.’
’In that case... if I run into them, I absolutely can’t let them get away.’
’I must... slay them!’
’To me, they’re nothing more than walking treasure chests, filled to the brim with top-tier resources!’
’Still, I have to be careful to avoid the powerful Martial Artists from Galaxy #99, especially Caesar and those monsters under his command whose ’Indestructible Projections’ are already taking shape.’
’As for the River Realm Martial Artists from the other five major star systems, I can leave them be. They can help fight against Galaxy #99.’
...
For the next few days, Qin Feng continued his cautious exploration inside the treacherous star.
He was like the most patient of hunters, concealing his entire aura, avoiding all combat zones with intense Energy Fluctuations, and searching for his prey only in remote, forgotten corners.
Finally, on the fifth day, his Divine Thought caught a life aura dozens of times larger than the fragment from before.
Qin Feng immediately transformed into a streak of light and shot toward the source of the aura.
A huge [Savage Beast Fragment], over ten meters tall like a small mountain peak, was emitting a faint, mesmerizing, treasured light.
However, before this "treasure mountain," two figures were locked in a brutal life-or-death struggle.
One of them was burly, with two signature horned accessories on his head. His broadsword swung in wide, sweeping arcs, exuding a wild aura.
It was Tie Muer!
His opponent was a Martial Artist in power armor. His strength was comparable to Tie Muer’s, both at the peak of the ’River Realm,’ but he was clearly a Martial Artist from Galaxy #99.
At this moment, the two had clearly been fighting to the death for a long time.
Tie Muer was bathed in blood, his power armor covered in vicious gashes. His aura had grown chaotic and weak. He was clearly at a disadvantage and could be slain by his opponent at any moment.
Qin Feng’s appearance went completely unnoticed.
Like a bolt of lightning in the dead of night, he shot toward the Martial Artist from Galaxy #99, wrapped in unstoppable speed and power.
At that moment, the tip of the [Star-devouring Spear] lit up with a profound darkness capable of swallowing all light.
BOOM—
The Martial Artist from Galaxy #99 didn’t even have time to react.
His body, along with his power armor, instantly exploded under the devastating spear strike, turning into a sky-filling mist of blood.
Immediately after, this blood mist transformed into countless tiny motes of light and dissipated completely.
An instant kill!
Tie Muer, who had been preparing to risk everything on a final slash, was completely stunned.
He shook his head, making the two horned accessories on it buzz, and stared blankly ahead.
It wasn’t until he clearly saw the familiar, terrifying black long spear and the cold face he would never forget.
Qin Feng!
"Qin Feng! It’s you?"
Tie Muer’s pupils instantly shrank to pinpricks!
A fear that stemmed from the depths of his soul made all his muscles tense up. He was about to instinctively unleash the strongest slash he had ever learned...
However, Qin Feng simply withdrew his long spear calmly, his gaze falling upon the massive [Savage Beast Fragment].
"This fragment is mine."
His voice was as calm as an ancient well.
"As for you, leave."
Tie Muer froze on the spot.
He couldn’t quite believe his ears, his rugged face filled with deep confusion and vigilance.
"...You’re not going to kill me?"
Tie Muer spoke in a low, hoarse voice.
In his memory, ever since the first time he’d hunted Qin Feng, their relationship had been reduced to a single principle: kill or be killed.
After that, whenever Qin Feng ran into him, he would hunt him down without hesitation.
Not long ago, outside the ’Sorcery Library,’ he had been instantly killed in public with a single spear strike by a much stronger Qin Feng, forcing a humiliating Rebirth.
You could say that the two of them had long since developed a deep-seated, irreconcilable hatred for one another.
But this time, Qin Feng... wasn’t going to kill him?
"I’m not killing you."
Qin Feng’s gaze didn’t even move from the huge fragment.
"Go find other fragments yourself."
"Who knows, you might even be able to kill a few River Realm Martial Artists from Galaxy #99."
"I have no desire... to take on that damn debt myself."
Hearing this reason, Tie Muer fell silent.
He wasn’t a fool; he instantly understood Qin Feng’s meaning.
This wasn’t mercy, nor was it reconciliation.
It was simply a purely rational choice made in the face of a stronger, common enemy.
Preserve every bit of combat power on their side to wear down the enemy, to fight for that one-in-ten-thousand, glimmering hope of victory.
"Thank you."
Tie Muer gave Qin Feng’s back a deep look, finally cupped his hands in a fist, and forced out those two difficult words.
The next second, he turned without hesitation, transformed into a streak of light, and vanished deep into the complex Meteorite Belt without a single look back.
Qin Feng quietly watched Tie Muer’s figure disappear into the distant, complex maze of flames and meteorites, until his aura vanished completely from the range of his Divine Thought.
He hadn’t spared Tie Muer out of any sense of mercy or pity.
It was simply the optimal solution—a purely cold and calculated decision based on the current state of the battle.
