Meanwhile, the situation was spiraling out of control on their side.
"This side is also out of control," Yelai remarked.
However, the chaos was not directed at Yelai; it was aimed at the Sixth Team.
"I—I really only know this much," the Squad Captain stammered, a dignified Rank Three Sequence member now reduced to a pitiful state, kneeling before Yelai and begging for mercy with eyes that resembled a dog's.
"I swear to heaven, I've told you everything I know. Yelai, please believe me."
One of his arms was gone, the shoulder where it had been severed a gruesome sight, flesh and blood mangled in an irregular jagged pattern, as if it had been torn off with brute force. His other arm fared little better, twisted in the opposite direction, with bruises marking the skin that suggested it had been forcibly broken.
It was hard to believe what he must have endured prior to this moment.
Looking at the other members of the Sixth Team, they were equally tragic. Three members lay on the ground without heads, utterly lifeless, while the remaining three were either missing arms or legs.
"What about you? Do you have anything to add?"
Yelai crouched down, shifting his gaze from the Squad Captain to the two surviving team members.
"You two ladies—if you have something to say, speak quickly. I don't want to waste time here with you."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but greedily inhale through his nose.
Was this what fear of death smelled like when one was on the brink?
It was intoxicating.
A true delicacy!
The sheer aroma of fear emanating from them could easily fuel a significant portion of the Sequence Power he would need to deal with them.
The two team members stared in horror at Yelai. They had thought their own peculiar habit of keeping male slaves was already twisted enough. But compared to Yelai, they felt like mere amateurs. Yelai's preferences were far more depraved.
With a greedy expression, he sniffed the air, resembling a deranged killer in their eyes. Especially when combined with the power he displayed, their fear of Yelai continued to escalate. They viewed him as a sadistic monster who reveled in the pleasure of torture and murder.
"That's all I know! Please, just let me go! You can do whatever you want to me; I can be your pet! I can serve you, Master! Please, just let me go!"
"Master, my skills are impressive; would you like to hear?"
In their desperation to survive, they cared nothing for dignity or the wounds on their bodies.
The Squad Captain watched all of this unfold in silence. Was this really the same two defiant and disdainful female team members he knew? Just moments ago, they had been laughing and discussing how to train Yelai.
But recalling what had happened just minutes before, he felt a sense of release and even hated himself for not being a woman. If he were, he might have begged for mercy just like them.
Minutes earlier, they had been cautiously searching for Gaze in Hu Family Village when Yelai appeared. They were surprised to see him there; it was unexpected. But before they could process their shock, Yelai struck first, taking down the eagle with ease.
In a whirlwind of fear and disbelief, Yelai subsequently killed two more team members, leaving the three of them behind for torture and interrogation. During this time, Yelai extracted information about Gaze from Hu Family Village, as well as details about Zhong Zhi's plans and his stronghold in the Safe Zone.
Since you have nothing to add, let's proceed.
Upon seeing the Squad Captain and the two female team members begging for mercy, Yelai brushed off the dust from his hands and stood up.
As soon as he spoke, the Squad Captain and the two women felt a glimmer of hope, thinking that Yelai might spare them.
But in the next moment, their pupils dilated in horror.
With three swift stomps, Yelai's feet crashed down with a sound like watermelons smashing against the ground.
He crushed their heads without leaving them a single chance for survival.
In their final moments, all they felt was despair, and they shared a single thought:
【Zhong Zhi, your information was wrong! You said Yelai was a useless key, but he’s far stronger than you!】
