The captain’s reaction far exceeded his expectations.

Originally, Ye Luo intended to cooperate with him, and wouldn’t mind giving him some resources.

But now it seems, he is merely someone who values immediate interests, a short-sighted petty character!

Such a person is unlikely to achieve great things; even if they cooperate, it would eventually lead to trouble!

Therefore, a strong killing intent surfaced in Ye Luo’s eyes!

Such a person is a complete villain, greedy and ruthless. Even if Ye Luo spares him, he would definitely report to the Emissary or Law Enforcers!

"Kid, I’ve already given you a chance. I’ll ask you one last time; if you don’t hand over your cultivation resources, I’ll have to kill you. Rest assured, I’ve sealed this area with a Secret Technique, so no one can discover what’s happening inside for the time being!" the captain said sinisterly, clearly unwilling to give up, still hoping to extract some benefits from Ye Luo.

Of course, Ye Luo knew that even if he handed over his cultivation resources, the captain would still attack him!

However, Ye Luo was quite pleased with one thing: the captain used a Secret Technique to seal the surroundings, ensuring that whatever he did wouldn’t be noticed outside.

Moreover, the tent already had the effect of blocking outsiders from investigating, and by arranging some secret techniques casually, outsiders’ Divine Sense couldn’t probe inside.

After all, even the Law Enforcers wouldn’t necessarily cultivate their Divine Sense, nor would they constantly focus on this place.

Ye Luo’s most concern was still the Law Enforcers; as for other people, he didn’t care much.

"Very well, since you insist, I won’t hold back!" Ye Luo sneered coldly.

Suddenly, his aura soared, and in almost the blink of an eye, the Thunder Principle and Slaughter Law wrapped around his fist, and the Nuonuo Divine Technique was deployed!

Ye Luo’s recent understanding of the Dao deepened significantly, and the power of this punch reached Ye Luo’s current Peak level!

His purpose was clear: one strike to kill, leaving the captain no chance to retaliate.

The captain initially sneered at Ye Luo’s words, thinking a mere Guard was threatening him, but when he sensed Ye Luo’s aura, his expression changed instantly.

This aura was not something a mere Guard could possess; not even a Patrol Envoy had such presence!

Although his strength superficially matched that of a Patrol Envoy, he was aware there was a distance between him and a Patrol Envoy.

Moreover, he felt the taste of death, a trembling sensation from his soul!

"No!" he roared in anger, his eyes turning blood-red, his Mana rapidly accumulating, enveloping his entire body!

He opted for defense, which was undoubtedly the correct choice. If he chose to attack now, he would have no chance of survival because Ye Luo was using the Strength of his physical body, faster than Mana; in close-range combat, physical Strength had more advantage!

However, with spell defense, the speed wasn’t slow, and in almost no time, the spell defense formed!

Moreover, he intended to defend against Ye Luo’s move and then immediately lift the surrounding secret technique so that if Ye Luo continued to attack, it would definitely draw the Emissary’s attention!

By then, even if Ye Luo killed him, Ye Luo wouldn’t be able to escape!

This was his sinister part; earlier, Ye Luo had called his intelligence lacking to provoke him, but in reality, his mind was quite meticulous, just overly narrow-minded.

However, can his defense truly withstand Ye Luo’s full-strength strike?

That’s a joke!

Even without using the Nuonuo Divine Technique, Ye Luo’s strike could seriously injure or even kill him. With the Nuonuo Divine Technique’s enhancement, there’s no doubt!

As soon as the attack made contact, the Dao contained within Ye Luo’s strike began eroding his defensive spell at a visible speed, and much of the defensive spell layer was rapidly corroded!

The captain ground his teeth, knowing Ye Luo’s strength far exceeded his imagination. What plan could he possibly execute now?

He couldn’t comprehend why a young man like Ye Luo had such profound understanding of the Laws, and the application of the Power of Laws was utterly baffling to him!

This further demonstrated one thing: Ye Luo was Heaven’s favored child!

In the Heavenly Martial Realm, cultivators who grasped the embryonic form of Dao are rare; if not unique to Ye Luo, then definitely scarce, each a peerless genius.

If Ye Luo’s skills spread, two extremes would occur: one, people would desperately try to eliminate him, and two, those truly terrifying forces would desperately try to recruit him.

Crack!

In just a few breaths, the defensive layer shattered completely.

Simultaneously, the captain’s body was enveloped by Law’s power!

Instantly, his physical body began to gradually melt.

This scene was truly terrifying.

"I was wrong, please spare me, I don’t want any resources, I’ll do anything you say, please spare me!"

He actually began begging for mercy.

But, Ye Luo showed no mercy when he decided to kill, ensuring he was undoubtedly dead!

Very soon, he had no strength to scream; his body was mostly melted, leaving only a skeletal frame and a pair of blood-red eyes staring at Ye Luo.

"Die!" Ye Luo said coldly, throwing a punch that burst his eyes.

Thus, the newly-appointed captain met his end at Ye Luo’s hands.

However, a new dilemma arose. The captain was appointed by the Patrol Envoy, and the Emissary knew too. If he fell suddenly, a thorough investigation would surely follow, potentially implicating Ye Luo.

At that time, trouble might reach higher-ups!

But now that the deed was done, Ye Luo felt no regret whatsoever. At worst, he’d discuss with the base to steal the Gold Silk Wood and then make a swift escape.

After all, the base had such capabilities; suggesting it would exhaust half the base’s energy was pure nonsense. If that were the case, the female scientist wouldn’t have even brought up escaping with Ye Luo.

Since it was suggested, such a plan must exist! Of course, the price would be nothing more than giving the base a bit of a headache.

"Ye Luo, your situation seems a bit tricky!"

Suddenly, the female scientist’s voice rang out in his mind.
