Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7473

Chapter 7387: The Caged Bird

Li Tianming, imprisoned in a spherical cage, looked like a helpless bird in a cage.

But in reality, his expression was cold; his composure in the face of such blatant targeting seemed almost abnormal.

At that moment,

the white-armored woman was gracefully approaching Li Tianming, her long legs beneath her battle skirt moving slowly.

Behind her, several black-armored figures followed.

Those closest to her appeared to be elites among the black-armored men, their armor appearing more refined.

Besides them were hundreds of ordinary black-armored men.

The white-armored woman looked at Li Tianming, a strange smile playing on her lips.

“Little lamb, why do you seem so unsurprised? Having fallen to this state, aren’t you even a little worried about your life?” the white-armored woman asked with amusement.

“Should I be surprised, or… am I not satisfactory to you? Have things not gone as you hoped, thus disappointing you?” Li Tianming sneered.

“Ignorance is bliss!” The white-armored woman’s voice suddenly turned cold upon hearing this. “You’d better think carefully about your situation. If you cooperate obediently from now on, I might consider only unleashing your Cosmic God Origin four times, leaving you a broken body to survive. Otherwise, just disappear from this universe.”

“So this is how your organization treats its customers.” Li Tianming looked directly into the white-armored woman’s eyes and sneered. “So, passengers who pay are essentially handing themselves over to the tiger’s den? If they’re lucky, they’ll reach their destination alive; if they’re unlucky, they’ll be devoured?”

“No, the only one being targeted is you.” The white-armored woman continued with a smile in her eyes. “After all, those are customers who can bring me multiple business deals. But you’re different. A rich fool like you has to be ripped off. You’re destined to only enjoy my business of taking people out of the city once.”

“So, for this paltry profit, you completely disregard the integrity of a businessman?” Li Tianming scoffed.

“Even if I don’t take action against someone like you, others will eventually target you and you won’t become a repeat customer. So why should I leave this piece of meat for someone else?” the white-armored woman said matter-of-factly.

“That’s truly robber logic. You must have done this kind of thing many times before,” Li Tianming said with a sneer.

At this moment, the black-armored man who had brought Li Tianming into the Ink-Dyed Sword suddenly stepped forward.

He pointed at Li Tianming and cursed, “You lowly thing from the borderlands, how dare you disrespect Sister Yan? Sister Yan gave you a few words, that’s already giving you face. And you still dare to be ungrateful?”

Li Tianming ignored the man’s curses and looked directly at the white-armored woman, his gaze cold. “Those who commit many unjust acts will eventually reap the consequences. Since you’ve done this to hijack passengers, you should be prepared to bear the consequences.”

As a result, the black-armored men present, including the white-armored woman, seemed to laugh.

“What kind of joke is this kid spouting?”

“We’re already working for those chaotic underground black market organizations, what do we care about retribution?”

“If there were really any consequences, we would have died eight hundred times over!”

“I think he’s about to die, and his brain’s been blown out of shape, he can even say something like that.”

The black-armored men laughed and joked, their eyes filled with a cat-and-mouse game as they looked at Li Tianming.

At the same time, the white-armored woman also laughed, extending her slender, white index finger to wipe away a few tears of laughter from the corner of her eye.

“If you can always tell jokes like this to make me happy, maybe I’ll actually be willing to keep you as a dog by my side. If this is how you survive, then I think it’s quite successful. I really don’t want to kill you anymore.” The white-armored woman’s laughter subsided somewhat, but she still spoke with a hint of contempt.

“Sister Nightmare, don’t waste time with this kid. Whether you want to keep him around or not, let’s get all the treasures out of him first,” a black-armored man, whose height was a full three meters even in the Guanzizai Realm, suddenly said.

“Go ahead, we’re not in a hurry to go back this time. We can play with this little rat slowly until he begs for death,” the white-armored woman chuckled. As

soon as she finished speaking, five elite black-armored men appeared behind the white-armored woman, including the one who had brought Li Tianming into the Ink-Dyed Sword, and the extremely tall black-armored man. They all surrounded the spherical cage that trapped Li Tianming.

The aura of the elite black-armored men was terrifying. At this moment, they were no longer pretending and seemed to want to force Li Tianming’s mind to collapse through their powerful aura.

“The strength of these people has basically reached the peak of the Saint Emperor level!” Aurora said with some surprise.

“Although Little Li has come into contact with quite a few Saint Emperors and even light-year-level experts in the Heavenly Emperor Sect, those are equivalent to ‘ministers’ or even ‘royal’ members of the Heavenly Emperor Sect. But such experts seem to be nothing more than thugs in the Qianfeng Eternal Empire…” Sui Shenyao was also somewhat shocked.

However, at this moment, Sui Shenyao and Aurora were only lamenting the gap between two different levels of forces.

At this moment, facing such overwhelming pressure, Li Tianming’s expression remained unchanged.

“Brother Yuan, you brought this person in, you go first, just leave the brothers some breath.” A slightly slender and petite man in black armor said.

The contact person called Brother Yuan looked at Li Tianming with a mocking gaze and said, “Now that things have come to this, you’re already trapped like a turtle in a jar, there’s no need to struggle anymore. This Ink-Dyed Sword is currently in an unknown place in the Tianzang Province, and its communication has been completely blocked by the Dao array. You can’t even call for help, you might as well be Sister Nightmare’s pet now, maybe there’s still a glimmer of hope…”

Boom—! At this moment, the Ink –

Dyed Sword suddenly roared and even took flight, moving far away from its original location.

It seemed that the woman in white armor had controlled the starship’s core and restarted the Ink-Dyed Sword.

Outside the starship, some of those who had already disembarked and witnessed Li Tianming’s transformation had been observing the Ink-Dyed Sword from a distance out of curiosity.

The sudden activation of the Ink-Dyed Sword surprised them slightly.

“Who exactly is this person that he was targeted by those people?”

“He’s a nobody, a newcomer to the Qianfeng Eternal Empire, and he’s not exactly discreet, so it’s normal that he was targeted.”

“If someone had made some connections beforehand and been more careful, at least this could have been avoided. But now it’s too late.”

Seeing the Ink-Dyed Sword disappear from the scene, the old man who had spoken with Li Tianming earlier could only sigh helplessly and turn away.

“This young man, in the end, couldn’t escape… I can only say, be more careful in the next life. What a pity.” The old man murmured regretfully to himself.
