World-saving Plan: The Only Savior-Chapter 1432 - 326: McCarthy’s Last Resort (Part 2)
"Also, that Kurus Clan boss, you could at least make up a story that makes sense. Who in the universe doesn’t know by now that the Kurus Clan was completely annihilated because someone attempted to track the Demon Lord and he used a bloodline curse on them? How could there possibly be any survivors? Hahaha!"
"Hehe, kid, don’t think about running. With your strength, even if you have companions, their power won’t be much greater."
"If you ask me, you should just hand over your belongings obediently, that way you can avoid a lot of pain, and we might at least give you a swift end!"
A burly man covered in bizarre twisted markings spoke.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoman’s expression turned slightly bitter.
Naphaya had mentioned the Kurus Clan to him, but didn’t tell him that the race had been exterminated. Now, it had backfired.
However, there was still a glimmer of hope.
He thought about the last thing the opposition said, and one sentence in particular caught his attention.
"They want something on me? What is it? Is that why they haven’t made a move yet?"
Zhang Xiaoman’s thoughts raced as he felt more and more certain of this reasoning.
These people didn’t look like the low-IQ villains in movies who needlessly chatter before taking action.
The reason they hadn’t moved could only be that he possessed something they desperately needed.
"I’ve stored the item in another special space. If you want to retrieve it, you better listen to me and let them leave first."
"Ha? Let them leave first? You pirate, are you out of your mind!?"
The four-armed man made an exaggerated expression and said:
"You’ve already been captured by us. Why would we let you leave, just to take the item out of our line of sight again?"
The impatient black-tattooed man interrupted:
"Enough, let me take care of it. I’m confident I can kill him before he destroys the Space Ring!"
The other individuals around the burly man also seemed eager to make a move. A blonde woman in black combat gear turned to the leading man and said:
"Razor, it’s done!"
The woman who spoke was the creator of this Sea of Evil Thoughts Illusion, the one who eroded Hillna’s Moon God Illusion Realm.
At this moment, three patterns appeared on her body, indicating that she was activating her special ability.
By now, Zhang Xiaoman understood that he probably couldn’t continue his act any longer.
To buy some more time, he quickly asked:
"Wait! What exactly are you talking about? Tell me! Maybe that thing isn’t even here!"
"So... you’ve been stalling for time all along..."
The leader suddenly spoke up.
He slowly removed the hood from his head, revealing a face with a menacing scar.
Zhang Xiaoman recognized him as one of the widely rumored Evil Gods on Erin Continent.
The Dark God—Razor.
Also the captain of the Joy Reaper Team, a terrifying presence with Middle Control Level power.
"Hehe, stalling for time... quite interesting... but your plans will ultimately fail. The magic used to feed below may be powerful, but it’s only low-level energy to us, what does it even matter...?"
Razor cruelly exposed the truth with a cold smile:
"You think you’re the only one stalling for time, but aren’t we also doing the same...?"
"The spatial capture ability of the Sea of Evil Thoughts is complete. Now, if we strike you down, even if your Space Ring is damaged, the Storage Space inside will still be captured, without losing anything..."
His expression suddenly sharpened, eyes emitting a fierce glare.
"Alright, enough chat, take action!"
With Razor’s words, the tattooed man who wanted to strike impatiently moved.
He lunged towards Zhang Xiaoman with astonishing speed.
However, at that moment, an unexpected scene occurred.
"Whoosh!!"
A black shadow flashed by, and a figure shot from the sky, colliding with the tattooed man halfway, intercepting him.
"What!?"
The tattooed man was sent flying hundreds of meters, only stopped by his allies.
Upon looking at his body, a deep wound exposing bone was seen on his chest from the collision.
"What’s going on!?"
Zhang Xiaoman was also taken aback, not expecting such a twist.
His eyes widened, realizing it was a person who had saved him, a purple-haired woman in black clothing.
"It’s you!"
The seven members of the Joy Reaper Team clearly recognized the newcomer.
"Ziwei! You really are persistent! We already severely injured you on Crystal Observation Star, yet you still managed to tail us here!"
Razor’s face showed a fierce glint, black energy emerging from his hand, seemingly ready to make a personal move.
"Razor! Your illegal cultivation of sentient beings has seriously violated the Dark Spirit Star Domain Alliance’s Decree 337. As a Shadow Sentinel, I will arrest you. I advise you to cease all futile struggles and resistance, and perhaps I can mitigate your sentence in the Order Court!!"
This so-called Ziwei stared intently at the people in the sky with a serious expression.
Despite her words urging their surrender, she was fully prepared to attack if necessary.
Witnessing this, Zhang Xiaoman was shocked but quickly understood from their conversation.
"The Order Court... a Shadow Sentinel... I see... clearly, their actions aren’t legal, and Ziwei is here to catch them..."
However, as Zhang Xiaoman glanced over the black-clad woman, he couldn’t help but feel speechless.
Her condition didn’t appear promising; her clothes were torn, and blood stained her mouth.
Overall, she looked a mess, nowhere like someone there to make arrests, but more like one coming to court death alongside them.
"Boom!!"
While Zhang Xiaoman pondered this, the black-clad woman engaged in combat with Razor.
Both seemed to use close-range combat, clashing in midair, causing the sea surface below the illusion to roil chaotically.
"Pfft!"
The black-clad woman spat fresh blood, flying backward into the Sea of Evil Thoughts.
While Zhang Xiaoman watched with concern, she emerged again, charging toward the seven once more.
"Is she... stubbornly reckless..."
Zhang Xiaoman opened his mouth, wanting to call her back, but refrained.
After all, regardless of why, she inadvertently aided their side, buying them some time.
He thought this while glancing at McCarthy below.
There, the skill was chanted to its final stage, seemingly about to complete.
"Hey pirate over there! Why are you just standing there doing nothing! Come help! If I fall, you’ll be next!"
The black-clad woman radiated a milky light, piercing through the Filth Beast’s massive body, sending it crashing back into the sea.
Simultaneously, the Joy Reaper Team’s attacks arrived.
"It’s useless! As long as the Sea of Evil Thoughts exists, the Filth Beast is undying and undestroyable!"
The Despair Goddess Nevan rushed with a Long Spear.
Alongside her, several other Dark Spirits launched ranged attacks, sweeping toward the black-clad woman.
