Chapter 1149: Chapter 1015: The Distinction Between Inner and Outer Circles

”You’re a sure bet?” The expression of the stout Supreme turned strange, ”That’s a fact, there’s no need for me to feel anything.”

”Hmm...” Qu Jianlei pondered for a moment and asked, ”So no matter how fiercely we fight here, others won’t notice?”

”You still want to resist?” The stout man sneered, ”Doesn’t matter, I can take your head with me!”

”No need for you to take my head,” Qu Jianlei raised his hand and performed a finger technique, ”I’ll take your heads instead... Silver Snake Dance~”

In the clear night sky, countless dazzling electric lights suddenly appeared and descended toward the ground.

Since the other party already knew about his formidable spiritual power, using a spiritual attack might not have any effect.

So he decided to use an electromagnetic attack. Right now, he didn’t have any newer powerful methods.

As for whether such a big commotion wouldn’t attract attention? He would never believe that.

An attack as awe-inspiring as this, no matter how you try to conceal it, it can’t be hidden.

But the confidence in their actions suggests they have some energy on Dream Star.

And given the nutrient injection’s influence on this planet, Bai Tian had already mentioned not to kill in public.

Since both sides have considerable connections, this matter might be covered up.

In fact, Qu Jianlei highly suspected that the space battleship overhead might have been redirected by the nutrient injection.

Although this suspicion seems a bit far-fetched, there isn’t a better explanation for such a coincidence.

Anyhow, the other party evidently didn’t want to blow this matter up publicly, so there was no need for him to hold back.

The stout Supreme’s face changed instantly, ”Damn... is it an Electromagnetic Supreme?”

Only an Electromagnetic Supreme could use electromagnetic techniques with such proficiency.

I’ve hit a wall! This thought emerged subconsciously.

Among the thousands of Supremes in the Empire, Electromagnetic Supremes number no more than two handfuls!

Even if you include those unrecorded, the number of Electromagnetic Supremes wouldn’t exceed three handfuls.

Crucially, a faction that can enlist such a Supreme is almost certainly not a small force.

The stout Supreme was certain, upon coming, that the opponent was no easy target.

But that didn’t matter; he was mentally prepared—ordinary Supremes wouldn’t catch the lady’s eye.

However, the opponent not only had formidable spiritual power but was also an Electromagnetic Supreme, which truly exceeded his expectations.

The cultivation level and methods of the Core Circle Supremes are indeed better than those in the Edge Star Realm, but only by a slight margin.

The corresponding rules are not easily broken.

For example, a Mutated Attribute Awakener cultivates slower than the Five Major Attributes.

This isn’t an ironclad destiny but a result of the Mutated Attributes emerging too late and being too few for extensive trial and error.

Because of this, every Electromagnetic Supreme is exceptionally valuable and well-protected.

Without this layer of protection, if allowed to grow freely, the number of Electromagnetic Supremes wouldn’t even reach two handfuls.

Maybe not even one handful!

The growth of an Electromagnetic Supreme is so arduous, yet one still has the heart to cultivate spiritual power—is there no justice in this world?

The stout Supreme had seen many geniuses, but he never dreamed of anyone being as genius as this!

Eliminating such a genius involves considerable risk.

Of course, with the lady’s influence, such risks were bearable—once a genius is dead, they’re no longer a genius.

But the crux of the problem was, he had never expected to encounter such an opponent!

Put simply, he had come fully prepared to deal with this person, including armor resistant to spiritual attacks.

But the armor for electromagnetic attacks... although present, was quite ordinary.

However, since the opponent had already made a move, it was too late for words. He roared, ”Attack!”

In fact, there was no need for him to issue commands; the five people behind him were a battle-tested elite squad.

One instantly deployed a Rock Shield, meeting the lightning from above, followed by a Wooden Shield.

The effect of electromagnetic techniques against an Earth Attribute Rock Shield is quite ordinary, not to mention the Wooden Shield subtly countering lightning.

Though the technique was executed by an A-level Awakener, it was only a group attack technique.

In addition to those blocking, others launched a fierce attack—what does a Supreme matter? The elite squad specializes in handling Supremes!

However, the moment Qu Jianlei unleashed the Silver Snake Dance, he felt a massive sense of threat locking onto him.

Without thinking, he flashed twice, his body technique as ghostly as a phantom.

Almost as soon as he dodged, a wrist-thick purple light beam struck precisely where he had been.

”Oh boy, it’s actually a focused energy purple laser cannon,” Qu Jianlei seethed with anger, ”How deep does this grudge run?”

This laser cannon is incredibly powerful and isn’t aimed at starships or mechas, but purely targets carbon-based lifeforms.

Using such a cannon to attack people has more power than an Anti-Material Laser Sniper Rifle; even ordinary Supremes with armor might not withstand it.

That’s precisely why these weapons are not only incredibly rare but are also absolute contraband, forbidden for civilian ownership.

The enemy actually arranged such artillery to target him, clearly not aiming to capture but to kill.

Moreover, the one responsible for the assassination isn’t just any ordinary elite; otherwise, Qu Jianlei would have sensed murderous intent long ago.

If not for the slight fluctuation in aura at the moment of firing, he’d estimate the assassin could be a Supreme!

However, even for a Wind Attribute A-level, using it for stealth attacks seems a bit too extravagant, doesn’t it?

As Qu Jianlei made two quick maneuvers, he released his Spiritual Power and without hesitation cast two Thunder Strike Skills.

He perceived that about six kilometers away, the opponent had set up three concentrated laser cannons.

The cannons were spaced about a kilometer apart, clearly intending to fire and relocate after each shot.

If he didn’t eliminate the enemy, he’d surely suffer at least two more shots.

Currently, the greatest threat to him is this sniper; once engaged in a chaotic battle, this person is the hardest to defend against.

If the opponent disregarded their own casualties and dared to fire during close combat, the likelihood of him being wounded or killed would increase significantly!

Taking the risk of injuring teammates... is it possible? Qu Jianlei truly believes it is!

The closer to the upper echelons, the more he felt their detached disregard for life.

As long as they achieve their goals, they don’t mind paying a certain price, even at the cost of their elite’s lives.

”You can’t lead an army with benevolence,”... even on Blue Star, this saying is acknowledged, let alone in the Empire?

Therefore, the urgency now is to take down this person first.

Previously, Qu Jianlei’s favorite electromagnetic technique was Thunder Dragon, which could actively track enemies.

In this regard, Thunder Strike Skill is a bit lacking, even if its Attack Power is slightly higher.

But as his Cultivation Level and micro-operation improved, he can now use Thunder Strike Skill for tracking, and naturally opts for the more powerful technique.

Of course, the most crucial point is that Thunder Strike Skill descends from the heavens, restraining the opponent’s Body Technique evasion.

Using Thunder Dragon, the opponent could possibly use the two walls’ cover to dodge, and this Wind Attribute’s Body Technique is indeed quite good.

Just as Qu Jianlei imagined, although the sniper’s Body Technique is elusive, their preparation was indeed inadequate.

This person didn’t anticipate encountering an Electromagnetic Awakener initially and didn’t wear armor for concealment.

—In fact, whether to wear Wind Attribute Protective Armor or not, it’s all the same.

By the time they realized the assassination target was an Electromagnetic Supreme, it was truly too late.

A Thunder Strike Skill descended, striking the person directly, right when they seemed to be pulling out electromagnetic-resistant armor.

Everything was too late; like a shot-down wild goose, he plummeted violently to the ground, his uncontrolled body crashing through two large trees.

The first Thunder Strike Skill achieved success; even if the opponent wasn’t dead, they couldn’t act again in the short term.

The second Thunder Strike Skill fell on an empty spot by the river about five kilometers away from Qu Jianlei.

This strike seemed to miss, but as the dazzling electric light flashed, a silhouette suddenly appeared there.

The rumbling thunder swept past, the silhouette froze, shook twice, and fell towards the ground.

”No!” The squat Supreme looked on with eyes overwhelmed, shouting desperately, ”Stop, let’s talk this out...”

Unfortunately, he shouted too late; Qu Jianlei’s figure ghostly charged towards the silhouette, not only elusive but also incredibly fast!

Immediately after, the third Thunder Strike Skill descended, targeting the already struck silhouette.

Qu Jianlei was five kilometers away from the opponent, not too far but not exceptionally close either.

At Supreme’s full exertion, travel speed is indeed fast, but such a distance still requires around ten seconds.

If he didn’t follow up with this strike, by the time he got there, the opponent might very well break free from the paralysis caused by lightning.

For him, facing Inner Circle and Core Circle Supremes, caution is not excessive.

Qu Jianlei could sense this shadow should be none other than Julia, the instigator.

As a Water Attribute Supreme, she hid not far from the river, her intentions clear.

Julia should be a research-type Supreme; such people are usually not versed in worldly matters, and Qu Jianlei generally won’t go all out against them.

But this one is far too self-centered, not only unreasonable and tyrannical but also exceedingly malicious.

Qu Jianlei found it hard to feel any empathy towards her; for such a self-obsessed person... just let her die!

Just as he was advancing, he suddenly felt a blackout before him, his body almost losing control.

”A dark curtain?” He chuckled coldly inside; just another dark attribute technique, as if nobody else knows.

The opponent brought a Dark Attribute Awakened, not only indicating robust strength but also a determined ambition.

However, regrettably, such techniques are useless against him.

The one employing Sight Deprivation was the sole B-level in the squat Supreme’s team.

But at this moment, he stared dumbstruck at the scene, ”Let’s see you... it’s actually ineffective?”

Truly elite, he instinctively continued his Finger Technique, ”Sight Deprivation... ah~”
