CHAPTER 699: 242 TERRIFYING DEMON KING BAI FU, DOMINATOR’S DISTANT STRIKE [5K]_3

This time, upon hearing that Cipris would accompany Bai Fu to the Dark Domain, she thought this might be an opportunity, so she had her clone sneak onto the Night of Serenity, using the clone as a locator to pinpoint Cipris’s location and see if her main body could find a chance to launch a surprise attack and kill Cipris.

However, the Night of Serenity was flying in the complete opposite direction to her hiding place, so for a time she thought the trip would again be in vain.

Who would have thought that on the return journey, the situation suddenly changed; Bai Fu was ambushed, and everyone’s eyes were focused on her.

She suddenly realized, wasn’t this the opportunity she had been waiting for all along?

Her clone was weak, but it was still capable of assassinating Cipris, reducing her to a collection of Dissociative Potion progenitors. Then, all she needed to do was cast the scattered potion progenitors into outer space, and Cipris would not be able to resurrect for a long time.

With her heart pounding with excitement, the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress thus controlled her clone and charged towards Cipris.

Die, die, die!

At this moment, she was only 0.5 seconds away from dispersing Cipris.

She trembled with excitement.

But just then, a strange purple lightning bolt flew from the side, moving so fast that just as the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress saw it, the lightning had already pierced through her clone’s body.

Snap—

A burst of purple light exploded in mid-air, and the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress’s clone shrieked before crashing to the ground, motionless, becoming a corpse.

"?"

The spaceship was very quiet, so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, and no one expected things to turn out this way.

Ten or so seconds later, Cipris screamed again. She first pointed at the corpse of the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress’s clone: "Just as I thought, this traitor!"

Then, she pointed at An Ya, who controlled the purple lightning.

"The Punishment Needle! That was definitely the Punishment Needle! Where did you get it from?"

"What Punishment Needle, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

Noticing that Cipris actually recognized the Punishment Needle, An Ya played dumb.

Cipris was not really stupid and could see right through An Ya’s attempts to play her for a fool: "Don’t lie to me, I can tell, that was definitely the Punishment Needle, because it was originally an artefact worshiped by our Dark Domain Insect Clan, found by our ancestors in the Spirit Holy Hall!"

An Ya flatly ignored Cipris.

Muttering to herself, Cipris said, "I’m not planning to fight with you over it. I’ve already said that as long as you help me regain my power, I’ll tell you the biggest secret of the Dark Domain Insect Clan, which is the Spirit Holy Hall. Hmm, no, I can’t go into more detail, but I have no intention of fighting you for it."

An Ya was skeptical: "The needle was found by the boss on Indigo Star, it has been there for hundreds of years, how old are you this year?"

"Over five hundred years old, why?"

"..."

"Is over five hundred years old considered very old? Besides, I was actually killed by that traitor when I was in my teens, so I’m not really older than you."

"Nonsense, no matter how you count, you are older than me."

"Is that the point? I’m telling you, the Punishment Needle is a good... oh, something’s not right!"

While talking, Cipris fluttered her wings and flew to the porthole.

She saw that the situation in deep space had changed.

When the Dark Domain Insect Clan Empress launched the ambush, Bai Fu sensed the anomaly and quickly withdrew from the center of the battlefield.

The few Catastrophe-level members of the Honorable Force did not follow. They had been hit hard enough and thought Bai Fu was deliberately exposing a weakness to lure them, and as they watched Bai Fu retreat, they also drew back.

However, during their retreat, they didn’t stay idle and immediately contacted headquarters through the spaceship’s super-distance communicator to inquire about what to do now.

With the situation so critical, their own power was not enough to resolve it.

After receiving the message, the spokesman of the Honorable Force turned pale with fright, quickly consulting his superiors.

As expected, he was thoroughly scolded.

Seven against one and they were calling for emergency support?

What kind of interstellar joke was this!

The spokesperson for the Honorable Force was speechless.

Honestly, he had already taken this matter very seriously. As soon as he learned that N2 was being disobedient, he immediately dispatched ten Catastrophe Levels in one breath, but even with so many people sent out, the problem still couldn’t be resolved. What else could he do?

Fortunately, his superior didn’t scold him for too long.

Scolding couldn’t solve the problem. Whether N2 was bluffing or really knew some inside information, N2 couldn’t be allowed to keep living.

"I will invite the Dominator to take out N2. Don’t hang up the communicator, and tell the people on the Dark Domain side not to hang up either."

"Yes."

The spokesperson for the Honorable Force immediately nodded.

A dozen seconds later.

Buzz.

A strange electrical sound suddenly came from the other end of the communicator.

And then, the bizarre incident occurred.

While in combat with the Honorable Force’s Catastrophe Level, N2’s body suddenly stiffened. Bai Fu noticed a "-37861" pop up above his head—a colossal damage figure.

There was an energy fluctuation, but who was it?

Bai Fu’s face turned pale.

It was all too late.

The Catastrophe Level at N2’s side seized the opportunity and unloaded a barrage of attacks on the severely injured N2.

"-9671"

The last black damage figure floated up, and N2 was killed on the spot.

Seeing N2 dead, the Catastrophe Levels from the Honorable Force hurriedly fled; they had no intention of continuing to fight with Bai Fu.

Damn it!

Bai Fu was furious.

N2 was dead. How was she going to complete the task she had just accepted?

She directed her Spiritual Ability Army to chase after them.

But the others were determined to escape and in the end, she was only able to capture two of them.

"This monster!"

On the spaceship, the survivors from the Honorable Force gritted their teeth. Ten against three resulted in three deaths, and the remaining seven fled. How would they face others once the news spread? How could they continue to exist in their circles?

Today’s task had gone horribly awry. The only piece of good news was that the Dominator who had taken action said they had read N2’s memory and was sure N2 hadn’t told Bai Fu who the mastermind was.

"Let’s hurry up and leave. I don’t want to see Bai Fu’s face for even a second longer."

The spaceship’s warp engine activated, and it vanished in an instant.

Meanwhile, Bai Fu silently watched N2’s body.

"Forget it. If the task hasn’t been declared a failure yet, that means there’s still a way to find out who the mastermind is."

She was just about to return to her spaceship when she suddenly received a call from An Ya.

"Boss, Cipris says that N2’s Spirit Fragments haven’t completely dissipated yet. If we use the Punishment Needle on him now, we can retrieve his memories."

"!"

An Ya’s words made Bai Fu freeze.

Then, clenching her fist tightly, she smiled.

The situation had completely turned around!

Now she could know who the mastermind was, and there was a high probability that the mastermind didn’t yet know she was aware. She had suddenly moved from the light into the shadows. This advantage was not inferior to having the foresight of a Prophet.

"It looks like intervening in the Tem Civilization’s main task this time could yield a big reward."
