Mech: Shattering of the Galaxy-Chapter 374 - 149: Indifferently Killing
Chapter 374: Chapter 149: Indifferently Killing
At the intersection right in front of this Star Thief’s right side.
Mu Fan silently leaned against the wall, his eyes calmly gazing at his right arm, where a crossbow arrow lay quietly on the back of his hand, while his entire right hand was now completely encased in metal.
“Black, it’s ready.”
A faint voice rose, almost simultaneous with the gunfire of the Star Thieves.
Buzz~
All the lights in the corridor dimmed.
The circulation of air ceased, the engine group stopped, the power was cut off, and the valves locked.
In that moment, the Icebreaker Warship had transformed into a lifeless husk.
“What the—why did the lights go out!?”
“Hey, Hua San, Hua San? Boss, the communication channel is cut.”
Aside from the sparks that the bullets had hit against the corridor wall, which had extinguished in an instant.
Maxi cocked his hand cannon, gripping it tightly in his hand.
“We’ve been ambushed,” a deep voice carried an indescribable fury, “Which ‘friend’ over there is responsible!?”
Mu Fan, leaning against the wall, didn’t speak. He was enveloped in a faint black mist, and in that moment, his presence disappeared altogether.
Dark Breath!
His mind was incredibly calm, as spiritual perception began to spread.
With his left hand, he nonchalantly threw a screw he had picked up from the depot towards the other side.
Ting, bang bang bang!
His left foot lightly stepped out, his body quickly spun, whoosh!
The powerful crossbow mechanism attached to the hand armor proved its worth once again.
The seventh Star Thief didn’t even comprehend how the crossbow arrow had appeared, just feeling a pain in his neck, and his strength draining towards the wound, as his vision slowly began to spin, till it succumbed to darkness.
Another one dead.
Bang bang bang bang!
A series of consecutive shots missed their mark.
They only felt a dark shadow flash in front of them and then there was silence.
The fifth and sixth Star Thieves felt their legs trembling uncontrollably, realizing that the enemy was right before them, and in the next second, the attack would surely be upon them both!
The fifth man pushed the sixth, signaling him to lean against the other side of the wall.
They positioned themselves on both sides of the cold wall, their wall, in the silent corridor, only the faint and rapid breaths remained.
Mu Fan calmly looked at the hand armor on his right hand, and with a light squeeze, a small clink of metal sounded twice.
His left hand slowly drew out the two weapons that had released.
A pair of S-shaped blades were slowly pulled out.
It was… Snake Blades!
The same weapon used by the Solomon Mechanical Master to assassinate Mu Fan earlier!
After the two Snake Blades were drawn, with a nimble spin, one of them landed in his right hand.
The sound was so distinct that Mu Fan made no effort to conceal it.
However, the echoing of the corridor, along with the sheer darkness without a single light source, made it impossible for them to discern Mu Fan’s position.
“Friend, where are you from? We can talk this out,” Maxi tried to slow down his voice while the hand cannon subtly shifted position.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Two crossing Snake Blades suddenly pierced the chests of the left and right Star Thieves, piercing their hearts with uncanny precision!
Boom!
Maxi fired decisively; the muzzle flash illuminated the area in front of him for an instant.
There was no one on the ground.
Above—
At the top!
A dark figure hung silently at the top of the corridor ahead.
This shot would certainly miss.
Maxi now felt a burning rage within. As a Star Thief who nearly roamed the interstellar constantly, his greatest reliance was the warship beneath his feet!
If it came down to a brute force confrontation, who would Maxi ever fear?
How exactly had the enemy infiltrated his warship? No one else had returned since Ivan had gone out.
Wait… Ivan!
“Huh~” Maxi struggled to suppress a breath and in a restrained tone asked, “Friend, is Ivan already dead?”
With his hand cannon hidden behind his back, he prepared to shoot again.
Mu Fan lightly leaped down from the top of the corridor, unseen and unheard by those opposite.
But to his eyes, the defensive moves of the few people opposite were crystal clear.
Maxi’s quiet hand movement, and the prepared stances of the three behind him, with their guns at the ready, were all vividly reflected in his view.
His unique night vision ability was an unparalleled advantage in this environment.
Wrapped in Black Breath, Mu Fan was the ultimate assassin in this darkness. It was only when he crouched and slowly drew the Snake Blade, having approached within five meters of the enemy, that they finally sensed movement!
In a flash, Maxi, with his hand behind his back, violently threw it out. In less than 0.2 seconds, he could turn this man into a sieve.
Daring to come so close!
However, the moment Maxi’s arm began to move, Mu Fan had thrown the dagger he’d been gripping in his hand.
Thud!
The dagger directly pierced through Maxi’s wrist that was about to raise.

A pained groan issued from his throat.
The three men behind the injured Maxi managed to react instantaneously and raised their guns to shoot.
Mu Fan had just pulled out the Snake Blade and threw it backward as he rolled!
The Snake Blade traced an arc, first cleanly slicing across the throat of Star Thief number three, and then piercing into Star Thief number one’s windpipe!
As for the bullets from Star Thief number two, they missed once again.
When Mu Fan drew another Snake Blade, that Star Thief had just squeezed the trigger again.
Dodging to the side, he threw the Snake Blade once more.
It nailed straight into the Star Thief’s forehead, causing him to slump to the ground.
All of this happened in a seemingly slow but actually rapid succession—less than a second had passed from Mu Fan’s elimination of the first person until the death of all seven in under ten seconds.
Maxi, clutching his right hand in agony, let out a bestial growl, “Who the hell are you!”
This time, Mu Fan finally appeared in front of this ruthless criminal.
Maxi could only discern through the blurry figure that this person was smaller than himself.
Could the assassin be this person?
Cough, cough, hmm…
A cold metallic hand suddenly gripped his throat, and then, to Maxi’s horror, he found his body being slowly lifted!
That enigmatic colossal strength lifted his over 200-pound body effortlessly; he could feel that he had been hoisted in an instant.
The metal clasped tightly around his neck, making breathing more and more difficult. He tried to struggle but realized it was vain.
“You are the leader of this Starship… Maxi?”
Only now!
For the first time, Maxi heard the icy voice of the assassin he had never seen.
The voice was definitely no more than twenty years old! What chilled him even more was the lack of any emotional fluctuation in that voice; it was the calm that was truly terrifying.
“I… am.”
Mu Fan glanced at Maxi’s trembling mouth, a clear indication that he was secretly exerting force. Without a change in expression, Mu Fan noted Maxi’s attempt to turn the gun in his right hand and continued in the same even tone, “Then you can die.”
The fingers exerted force, and bones shattered.
Until his death, Maxi’s eyes were filled with endless terror and disbelief.
Perhaps he still questioned why he wasn’t even given the chance to be interrogated, although he would never have revealed the secrets he held… But…
Everything returned to darkness.
“Why did you kill him directly? Didn’t you want to interrogate him for secrets or something?”
“He wouldn’t have talked, and… he was about to counterattack just now,” Mu Fan calmly retrieved the crossbow arrows and the Snake Blade that were embedded in the corpses, reinserting them into Solomon’s Hand Armor.
“The warship can be restarted now, right? I left a backup circuit just now.”
“Power it up, and plot a course to the command room for me.”
The tight interior topology of the ship determined that these people could not possibly possess Mecha!
That was why Mu Fan was determined to head straight for the command room.
And Mu Fan had an even deeper purpose, truly mad…
