I am a quadrillionarire chapter 1681–After they heard Cornelius’ terrified cry, everyone on the spaceship jumped into action immediately.
They activated all of the defense systems, and at the same time, they accelerated with full force.
Everyone wanted to get out of there as fast as possible.
Obviously, they were greatly traumatized and shocked by the death of the two beginner Sovereign Rankers.
The opponent could kill a Sovereign Ranker in seconds, let alone these people.
Even if they all rushed forward, it would be like hitting a stone with an egg. They would all die. When David heard what Alba said, he knew that Cornelius was lying to him.
Thus, he immediately acted without hesitation.
He approached the Lightfoot family’s spaceship and swung his sword, causing a flash of red light.
Under this red light, the defense system of the spaceship was cut open instantly like a block of tofu, and even the spaceship’s body was directly penetrated by the red light and disappeared into the void.
Despite that, the spaceship was not shaken too much.
One could see how sharp and rare this red light was.
Just a casual swing of his sword could cause such tremendous damage.
It was indeed the Evil-Splitting Sword that could cut everything in the world.
Following the gap left by the red light, David stepped into the spaceship and came behind Cornelius.
Everyone dared not move in the Lightfoot family spaceship’s control room.
They widened their eyes in terror and stared at the man who had suddenly appeared.
Cornelius sensed something was off, so he turned around slowly.
An incredibly young face appeared in front of him.
‘Isn’t that the guy who killed the beginner Sovereign Rankers in seconds?
‘H-How did he get here?’
As he looked at the face that was filled with murderous intent, Cornelius’ heart was racing, and even his body started to shake uncontrollably.
He had been living for so long and this was the first time he had been in such close proximity to death.
“W-Who are you? W-What are you trying to do?” Cornelius asked, trying his best to suppress
the terror in his heart.
However, his shaky voice betrayed him.
“I want you to die. As long as you’re dead, everything that happened here will be buried in the ground. No one will know the truth,” David answered calmly.
“M-My friend, p-please spare me. If you let me go, I can promise you anything you want. Money, women, status, anything you want I can give to you.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t believe you. So, I can only kill you. You should blame yourself for suffering such a fate.”
David’s words became the last straw that broke Cornelius.
Thud!
Cornelius knelt in front of David.
He had a complete emotional breakdown.
He was still young, and he had such a promising future. He did not want to die here.
“My Lord, please don’t kill me! I beg you, please don’t kill me. Please! If you let me go, I, Cornelius Lightfoot, will be your slave. I will only listen to you. If you want me to go east, I will never go west,” Cornelius knelt in front of David and begged with tears running down his face.
At this moment, he did not have the airs of the second-in-line heir of the Lightfoot family.
He was facing the crisis of death, so no matter how high his status was, he would be no different than an ordinary person.
David did not sympathize with Cornelius’ begging.
What welcomed Cornelius was the red light from David’s Evil-Splitting Sword.
When the red light flashed, Cornelius saw the scenes in front of him changing constantly as if he was floating on air.
He did not know that he had already been beheaded.
However, since he was an Eternal Realm beginner Immortal Ranker, he would not die even if he was beheaded.
If he wanted to recover, he needed a lot of energy.
Of course, this was under normal circumstances.
David’s Evil-Splitting Sword had already entered Cornelius’ body while filled with infinite energy, killing all of the cells inside.
