I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 914: Chapter 605: The Power of Soul Cutter, Blood Demon Cult’s True Objective (2)

"Dark Moon" is a top-tier ultra-long-range sniper rifle, capable of accurately headshotting a Tier Seven Snow Beast over dozens of kilometers of blizzard, never missing its mark.

Compared to these two guns, the soul gun we just witnessed is undoubtedly more bizarre and unnerving, delivering a soul-directed attack that is utterly indefensible.

"Instructor Xue, I’ll leave the rest to you." Robert stepped slowly to the side of the gigantic corpse of the Tier Seven Ice Beast, his fingers slightly moving, storing the massive beast, comparable to a hill, into his Space Equipment.

"Understood, sir." Xue Wuyang nodded in agreement.

The most powerful Ice Beast leader was dead, and the remaining Ice Beasts in the ice cave were merely minor troops. With the current team’s strength, they could completely wipe them out within half a day, securing this crystal mine of astonishing reserves under Ice Extreme Pass.

Robert nodded slightly, said no more, and turned to head towards the ice cave’s entrance.

The soldiers present watched his back with reverence, instinctively stepping aside to clear a path.

However, just as Robert walked a short distance away, a shadow darted out of the darkness, blocking his path.

"Haha, Instructor Xue, you’ve done well."

A low, hoarse voice echoed, icy and sinister, reverberating in the open ice cave.

The faces of those present changed, each gripping their weapons tightly, vigilantly eyeing the shadow.

In the dim ice light, a man in a wide black robe slowly approached, the hem dragging across the icy ground, making a soft scraping sound. His face was hidden by an ancient bronze mask that blocked all sight and Spiritual Power probing.

Who is he?

It seems the arrival isn’t friendly!

The soldiers’ hearts instantly soared to twelve on the alert scale, and instinctively, everyone’s gaze focused on Xue Wuyang. What did the masked man’s words mean?

What is the connection between Instructor Xue and him?

Clap—

The masked man stopped walking, standing firmly twenty meters away from Robert, his raspy laugh echoing with a hint of mockery: "Mr. Robert, thanks to Instructor Xue, I was able to meet you here smoothly. Now, on behalf of the Blood Demon Cult, I sincerely invite you to join us and fight against this unfair bloodline world together."

What?!

This statement exploded in the soldiers’ ears like thunder, shaking them to their core, their eyes filled with disbelief.

Blood Demon Cult!

This man is from that notorious evil organization!

And Instructor Xue...

In an instant, a complex mix of looks gathered again on Xue Wuyang, filled with vigilance, doubt, and bewilderment. Having known Xue Wuyang for a long time, they were well aware of his background and experiences.

His wife was brutally killed by the Blood Demon Cult, and his only son Xue Yong was kidnapped, his fate unknown.

In his quest to find his son, Instructor Xue impulsively killed a high-ranking officer in the Military Department, eventually landing in prison, now still in the Zuiyu.

He has an irreconcilable blood feud with the Blood Demon Cult.

Yet the masked man’s words clearly imply that Xue Wuyang followed his orders to lure Mr. Robert to this remote ice cave.

If there is such a blood feud, why would Instructor Xue collude with the Blood Demon Cult?

This makes no sense!

Unless...

The soldiers suddenly had a thought, the only possibility—Instructor Xue was being coerced!

The Blood Demon Cult had a hold on his lifeline—his kidnapped son!

Hearing the masked man’s words, Robert remained unfazed, merely standing quietly in place.

And Xue Wuyang, contrary to the crowd’s anticipation of a panicked denial, stared unwaveringly at the masked man, his eyes icy cold, brimming with uncontainable, dense killing intent.

It was hatred accumulated over years, a towering rage against the Blood Demon Cult for harming his family.

Seeing this, the masked man was not angry; instead, he chuckled, "Instructor Xue, it seems in your heart, your son’s safety is far less important than your future and interests. Pretending to surrender, luring the snake out of its hole, aren’t you afraid that I will now inform the cult to throw your precious son into the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes, letting him endure the agony of snake bites, a fate worse than death?"

It was indeed true!

Hearing this, the soldiers’ doubts and confusion instantly dissipated, replaced with deep empathy and anger. Instructor Xue was indeed being coerced by the Blood Demon Cult; he didn’t betray the Military Lord, nor did he betray Ice Extreme Pass. Everything he did was to save his son!

It’s just that Instructor Xue’s son...

Thinking about the child who might be suffering endless torture, the soldiers’ killing intent burned even stronger, glaring at the masked man, wishing to rush up and tear this sinister man apart.

However, at this moment, a sense of foreboding instead arose in Xue Wuyang’s heart.

Something was wrong, too wrong!

The masked man’s reaction was too calm, as if he had anticipated this outcome, neither panicking at the exposure of the plan nor surprised by the "luring the snake out of its hole."

So, was their target really just Mr. Robert?

"General Qin, since you’re here, why don’t you come out and meet us."

While doubt clouded Xue Wuyang’s mind, the masked man suddenly spoke, his voice still hoarse but carrying a tone of certainty.

Military Lord?

The Military Lord is here too?

The soldiers’ bodies jolted, a flash of joy crossing their faces.

The next moment, a stalwart figure appeared out of nowhere, standing steadily beside Robert.

Seeing that familiar back, the soldiers felt a surge of security in their hearts, their vigilance, doubt, and anger melting into peace and calm in that moment.

As long as the Military Lord is here, even if the sky falls, they fear nothing!

Qin Tian stood next to Robert, his gaze calm as he looked at the masked man, speaking with a detached tone: "Your target, aside from Robert, must also include me."

Upon hearing this, the masked man chuckled lightly, his voice full of admiration:

"As expected of General Qin, seeing through our true intentions at a glance. Indeed, our core target this time has always been you."

Behind the mask, the hidden eyes sparked with a burning greed, as if appraising a peerless treasure.

Before this, the name Qin Tian had appeared on the Blood Demon Cult’s headquarters list but had never been taken seriously.

In the eyes of the Blood Demon Cult, a mere Major General was far less valuable than those Spiritualists of the special Golden Clan and Silver Clan.

Those were their primary targets for bloodline plunder.

But as Qin Tian’s fame soared, the Blood Demon Cult soon took notice of this unusual young general.

With a non-Holy Blood status, he slew a direct lineage of the Shinguji Clan of the same tier;

Single-handedly infiltrated Subspace, successfully rescuing the Dan Tower’s Great Elder from the Evil God’s base camp;

More shockingly, Qin Tian had even demonstrated diverse abilities like lightning, fire, and darkness.

How could such a unique and powerful bloodline not be coveted by the Blood Demon Cult?

Therefore, the Blood Demon Cult’s high command immediately decided to launch a capture operation against Qin Tian.

Yet Qin Tian was extremely cautious, also possessing incredibly powerful Spatial Abilities, such that even Subspace could not confine him, making it essential to devise a seamless plan to ensure his capture.

After careful investigation, they found an excellent entry point—Xue Wuyang.

Xue Wuyang was the head instructor of Ice Extreme Pass, integral to its high command, coincidentally, his son Xue Yong was at that moment in the hands of the Blood Demon Cult, being kept as a reserve blood source.

Additionally, they discovered another exceptionally notable presence beside Qin Tian—Robert.

This man not only boasted Tier Seven combat strength but was also exceptionally knowledgeable, nearly omnipotent, and more importantly, according to reliable intelligence, Robert possessed a groundbreaking battle armor forging technology, exceedingly powerful and little known at present.

If the Blood Demon Cult could grasp this battle armor technology and promote it within the cult, their overall power would gain unprecedented enhancement.

In consideration of these points, the deputy head of the Blood Demon Cult personally formulated a "three birds with one stone" scheme—to capture Qin Tian, Robert, and Xue Wuyang all at once.

They thoroughly studied Xue Wuyang’s character and conduct, confident that he would never truly submit to the Blood Demon Cult because of his son.

If so, Qin Tian would certainly have Xue Wuyang pretend to surrender, laying a trap to "lure the snake out of its hole."

However, Qin Tian would never imagine how much the deputy head of the Blood Demon Cult had invested this time.

No matter how Qin Tian planned or struggled, he could not escape the inescapable net the Blood Demon Cult had long set in place.

Thinking of this, the masked man’s lips curled into a cold smile.
