Chapter 2644: Wuying Qi’s Fatal Weakness!
“How is it possible?”
Activating the Cosmos Ring and retrieving the Colossus were the simplest moves. Li Yao couldn’t have done it wrong even if his hands were cramping. However, there was absolutely no response no matter how he poured his spiritual energy into the Cosmos Ring.
No, there was a response. When he blew tremendous spiritual energy into the Cosmos Ring, trying to tear it apart, thorny electric arcs dashed out from the Cosmos Ring and shocked him. He couldn’t help but scream.
He noticed that Long Yangjun was waving her arm too. Her Colossus, “Heavenly Crystal”, had also been locked in her Cosmos Ring!
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
Li Yao recalled what happened just now and soon figured out the reason. Not long ago, in order to win Wuying Qi’s trust, they had offered the Cosmos Rings that stored their Colossi to Wuying Qi.
Wuying Qi seemed to be convinced of their loyalty, but actually, he did not throw the Cosmos Rings back to them until after he clenched the Cosmos Rings in his hand.
Damn it! They were tricked!
The clench of someone in the Divinity Branching Stage was certainly not a joke. The retrieval rune arrays of the Cosmos Rings must’ve been ruined back then!
No wonder Wuying Qi had been so confident. From his perspective, he destroyed Li Yao and Long Yangjun’s biggest reliance first and then attracted them to a brainwashing space with hundreds of other experts. Even if they were pretending to surrender at the start, they would have to surrender for real in the end.
Of course, Wuying Qi did not expect Li Yao to be so cunning that he would disrupt the massive brainwashing so skillfully. He was a victim of his own scheme.
Now that the supervillain was infuriated and dropped his disguise, Li Yao and Long Yangjun were caught in an awkward situation!
“How could you do that?”
Realizing everything, Li Yao pointed at Wuying Qi’s nose and scolded, “How can you be so shameless as an emperor? You said you gave the Colossi back to us because you trusted us, but you actually played tricks on our Cosmos Rings?
“I despise the lying, stealthy people who never dare to put up a fight and can only resort to tricks and schemes most. If you think you’re good, just unlock our Cosmos Rings, and let’s have a fight. If you win, we will… Aya!”
Before Li Yao finished, Wuying Qi had gathered a blood-red hand and slapped Li Yao right in the face, spinning Li Yao in midair. He vomited blood crazily, and half of his face was swollen, making it impossible for him to speak anymore.
“Li Yao!”
Long Yangjun jumped forward, trying to flee with Li Yao. But the place had been dimmed by shadows and blood, and it was impossible to find a way out. Long Yangjun was more than anxious. She said angrily when she saw Li Yao’s swollen face, “Just stop talking? Didn’t you notice that the more you talk, the stronger our enemy is? You’re only getting us killed!”
“What are you talking about? Is it really my fault?”
Li Yao said, “If you hadn’t insisted on submitting our Colossi to him, we wouldn’t have been caught in such a weird situation!”
“We had nothing but eye contact. What more did you expect me to do when you hinted that I should work with you?”
Long Yangjun said angrily, “Besides, do you really think he’s an idiot? He knew that we carried Colossi, and yours had crushed the Colossi of the three Divinity Transformation Stage experts. Do you think he wouldn’t do anything about it? Even if I hadn’t submitted the Colossi, he would’ve still played tricks on the Colossi, or he might even ask to examine them!”
“All in all, the bottom line is…”
While vomiting blood, Li Yao squeezed a creepy smile with his swollen face. Staring at Wuying Qi who was approaching, Li Yao declared, “Wuying Qi, I was not wrong. You’re not confident in your Next Sun Plan!
“Even you do not believe in your brainwashing technology or that you are an omnipotent god. That’s why you played a trick on our Cosmos Rings, in case anything went wrong.
“It’s the greatest irony that you’ve done to yourself and the biggest strike for your belief!
“No wonder you were defeated by us in the mental battlefield. If you don’t believe in the Next Sun Plan yourself, how can you convince us, the Immortal Cultivators, and mankind that your tomorrow will arrive?
“From that perspective, you’ve completely failed. You’ve completely destroyed your belief!”
Wuying Qi’s hideous face that was laden with thick veins cramped, as if he were struggling. But soon, he calmed down in the bloody aura.
“Whatever you say, the best response to someone as talkative as you is to not respond.”
Wuying Qi said casually, “Anyway, you are going to die no matter how you struggle today!”
“What are you doing?”
Supporting Li Yao, Long Yangjun said in a low voice, “Why are you talking to him instead of treating your wounds?”
“I’m criticizing him from the perspective of justice and belief!”
Li Yao said, “Don’t you feel that we have triumphed and crushed in the aspect of belief? Even if we are physically and spiritually destroyed by him, our belief will exist forever, and even if his evil plan works, he will only be a poor empty shell that does not have any belief. So, we’ve already won!”
Long Yangjun: “…”
“Of course, I also need more time to think. Don’t be intimidated by his bluff. The situation might not be as bad as it appears!”
Li Yao vomited blood less frequently now. He said calmly, “First of all, he only clenched our Cosmos Rings once just now. How many tricks could he have played? If he had ruined the Cosmos Rings too badly and it was discovered by us immediately, it would’ve been very awkward.
“So, I’m certain that our Cosmos Rings are only damaged on the surface, and their cores are fine.
“I mastered the marvelous skills on Cosmos Ring maintenance when I just jumped to the Imperium. As long as you buy five minutes for me, I guarantee that I can recover the Cosmos Rings!”
“Huh? Five minutes?”
Long Yangjun looked at Wuying Qi, who was near at hand and enshrouded in intimidating blood, and then at Li Yao. “Isn’t five minutes too short? Why don’t I stall this supervillain, who was in the Divinity Branching Stage in the first place and is now boosted by the heritage of the Mad Armageddon, for five days, so that you can take your time to repair the Cosmos Rings?”
Li Yao: “… Is this a subtle way of telling me that you can’t hold him back for five minutes?”
Long Yangjun: “Of course! Look at his appearance and sense his fury! I don’t think I can block him for five seconds!”
“He’s only bluffing!”
Li Yao stared at Wuying Qi and said coldly, “Haven’t you realized that he’s still walking unhurriedly when we’ve talked for such a long time? He’s also stopping now and then as if he’s waiting for us. Why? Does he think it’s a movie? Should we play some background music for him?
“Also, don’t you find it odd? If the heritage of the Mad Armageddon were as awesome as the treasures of the Supreme Emperor, he could’ve crushed us a long time ago. Why would he give us an opportunity to play tricks?
“So, here comes the question. Why did he never resort to the mysterious power at the beginning until the situation is now worse than ever and he has to try for one last time?
“Of course, it can’t be because he’s benevolent or he’s arrogant. If my guess is correct, he must be incapable of fully controlling the Blood God’s power yet. Or maybe the power itself will seriously hurt him or even swallow his soul.
“While Wuying Qi is the ancestor of the Immortal Cultivators, the Mad Armageddon was the strongest Demonic Cultivator in history. Immortal Cultivators and Demonic Cultivators are on different paths. So, his power and the Mad Armageddon’s must have serious compatibility issues.
“Yes, that’s right. That’s why he would rather not use the Blood God’s power unless it’s absolutely necessary. When he uses it, he needs a long time to address the incompatibility issue of the two powers. So, he’s still striking poses when I’ve analyzed so much!
“No matter how cool he looks, he is not as strong as we imagine. It’s possible that he’s more weakened and divided than ever. This is the best opportunity to kill him while the two powers haven’t been integrated with his body yet!”
Li Yao struggled to stand up and raised the shapeless blade made of fire and light at Wuying Qi.
“Wuying Qi, I’ve seen through your weakness. You’re doomed!” Li Yao declared resolutely while spitting bloodstained saliva.
“Oh? Is that so?”
Wuying Qi smiled, and dozens of bald experts that were manipulated by him jumped over. Like a thorny wall, they stood in between them and gazed at Li Yao and Long Yangjun with their bloodshot, hollowed eyes.
