Chapter 2115 Vomiting Blood In Anger!
When an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage, driving a Colossus, the ultimate weapon in the sea of stars, unleashed overwhelming spiritual energy, as if he were determined to die together with his opponent, barely anything could possibly stop him.
On the other hand, when the Divinity Transformation Stage expert who seemed to have gone mad and determined to die with his enemy suddenly turned around and escaped like a weasel⊠even fewer things could stop him.
It was exactly the case for Li Yaoâs Tartarean Skeleton.
A second earlier, it was still bursting out with all kinds of dazzling sound and visual effects, as if it were determined to perish together with Li Lingfeng.
In the next second, it had already turned into a stealthy streak of brilliance, diving into one of the holes on the broken âManjusaka, the City in the Skyâ, rushing away at the highest speed!
The switch from dying with the enemy to running, from valiance to cowardliness, was smooth, natural, and immaculate!
Even Li Lingfeng was dumbfounded by the actions of the mysterious guy in the Divinity Transformation Stage.
He had witnessed the demeanors of countless people in the Divinity Transformation Stage in his life. Some of them were fearless of death, some were as crazy as devils, some were as magnificent as mountains, some as vast as oceans, and some as unstoppable as the scorching sun.
But never had he seen such a weaselly one before!
Now that the enemy intended to escape, Li Lingfeng naturally had to follow.
But he immediately found himself in an extremely awkward situation. He couldnât have more concerns.
It must be noted that, although the mutated prisoners and Li Yao had insanely sabotage and slaughter inside âManjusaka, the City in the Skyâ just now, it was a space metropolis that was gargantuan and was as complicated as a maze after all. It couldnât be entirely destroyed in only half an hour.
At this moment, the main structure of âManjusaka, the City in the Skyâ was still intact. Although it was falling slowly into the atmosphere, the buffer rune arrays that enshrouded the bloody Flower of the Other Shore had already begun to function and flash, spurting out gentle exhaust flames. Together with the best trajectories of cut-in and landing set by the mainframe crystal processors, the possibility of a safe landing was very high. More than half of the buildings could be ensured to be unharmed.
Now, many Immortal Cultivators in the space fortress who were far away from the central area were still alive. A lot of them were the descendants of the major families in the Imperium and the leadership of the military. Li Lingfeng certainly did not want to accidentally hurt them.
So, they became Li Yaoâs best shields.
What could Li Lingfeng possibly do?
Fighting a great battle inside âManjusaka, the City in the Skyâ, turning the whole place upside down, blowing up the space fortress completely, and killing all the Immortal Cultivators who might or might not be alive altogether by the way?
If that happened, Li Lingfeng would not be able to shoulder the crushing wrath of the major families of the Imperium and the fleets of the military at all!
Everybody knew that he was the greatest patron of the âHeavenly Eye Groupâ. Many Immortal Cultivators had come to the Land of Sins for trials, vacations, and business negotiations out of respect for him. This place was the center for his connections and the most important nest outside of the Li family. How could he possibly destroy the place in person?
Besides, there were countless advanced facilities and experiment results in the space fortress, all of which were the precious yields of his decades of devotions. They were the greatest leverage for him to compete for the place of âKurfĂŒrstâ. How could he possibly destroy his decades of hard work?
Li Lingfengâs heart was bleeding. No. It was having a massive hemorrhage.
To this moment, he still hadnât figured out where exactly Li Yao couldâve come from.
It was obvious that Li Yao did not work for the queen. But if he were really a Cultivator, how could he have boasted the strength in the Divinity Transformation Stage and maneuvered a Colossus of such a remarkable performance?
Having no place to vent his anger at all, Li Lingfeng felt that his lungs were exploding in his fury.
The fleet of the Immortal Cultivators was now as awkward as Li Lingfeng.
At this moment, many of the starships of the Immortal Cultivators had already broken free from the chaos and approached âManjusaka, the City in the Skyâ. Having not taken too much severe damage, they still maintained a tough firepower.
But even if they could wield all their firepower, so what?
An expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage who was hiding inside a Colossus was not so easy to be locked onto. It was possible that they wouldâve blown up âManjusaka, the City in the Skyâ as well as all the hostages of Immortal Cultivators inside before they hit Li Yao!
Therefore, they could only watch âManjusaka, the City in the Skyâ falling deeper and deeper into the atmosphere and crashing to the surface of the planet inevitably.
Li Yao, on the other hand, seemed to have seen through their awkwardness. He was sabotaging everything on his way while holding his head as he fled inside âManjusaka, the City in the Skyâ. The Tartarean Skeleton was now too seriously damaged to have another head-on clash with the Tempest God, but it was certainly more than easy to go on a rampage inside the space fortress, stomp on a few bug-like Immortal Cultivators, or blow up a few pieces of precise but vulnerable magical equipment.
Following Li Yaoâs tail, Li Lingfeng watched his lifelong work burning and exploding nonstop. Countless blackened and twisted bodies of the Immortal Cultivators also brushed past his Colossus and crashed apart into ashes. He almost felt like crying and dragging Li Yao to hell with him.
âStop there!â
Li Lingfengâs telepathic thoughts seemed to be howling like ghosts. âWho are you exactly?â
Hiu!
Li Yao controlled the Tartarean Skeleton and shrunk it, dodging the three waves of light balls that Li Lingfeng shot out and moving horizontally with the help of the blast of the explosions. He then plucked the roof of a secret chamber where a hundred Immortal Cultivators were hiding, giving all of them a taste of the blasts that were blown out by Li Lingfeng.
The Immortal Cultivators were not very high in level, and most of them were even not battle-type. It was not hard to imagine their outcome in the competition of two Colossi.
Without even looking back, Li Yao chuckled nonstop. âWe are both in the Divinity Transformation Stage. Would you please say something more philosophical instead of the meaningless crap like âstop thereâ or âwho are youâ? How can I possibly stop or tell you who I am?â
âYouââ
Looking at the hundred Immortal Cultivators being burned into roasted ducks by the exhaust flames of the two Colossi, Li Lingfeng was so exasperated that he almost vomited blood. He shouted, âI will not let go of you. I will certainly make you die the most miserable death and never have a next life!â
âDo you hear what you are saying? Same crap again! Do you have any constructive topics that we can talk about at all?â
Li Yao smiled. âIn fact, the two of us do not have any conflicts in our fundamental interests. Besides, violence is never a solution to any problem. Why canât we turn havoc into harmony and sit down to talk nicely?â
Violence is never a solution to any problemâŠ
Turn havoc into harmonyâŠ
Sit down to talk nicelyâŠ
Looking at the messy, gory environment he was at, Li Lingfeng suddenly felt that he should not communicate with the sordid and stealthy guy in the Divinity Transformation Stage anymore, because he would certainly be pissed to death if they continued!
âJust activate your computational ability of the Divinity Transformation Stage and think hard!â
Li Yao, however, continued sending noises to Li Lingfengâs soul. âMy purpose was to blow up âManjusaka, the City in the Skyâ, which I have accomplished already. Even if you dissect me into pieces and obliterate both my body and my soul, you cannot recover the space fortress to what it used to be in the past! Therefore, I am not necessarily your biggest problem at this moment. Right now, your greatest headache should be Li Linghai, your dear sister and the queen of the Imperium!â
Li Lingfengâs soul trembled hard as he demanded loudly, âWhat do you know exactly?â
âI know that you stole your sisterâs child.â
In a chuckle, Li Yao said, âThat Li Jialing must be Li Linghaiâs biological son and your biological nephew, but he canât be His Majestyâs son. I do not need to bluff you; it is an undeniable fact!â
âItâs impossible!â
Instead of giving an answer, Li Lingfeng simply bellowed, âItâs impossible that you work for the queen or learned everything from her!â
âThatâs true. I certainly did not learn everything from the queen, because even the queen is not necessarily aware of the whole truth, is she?â
Li Yao said in a hurry, âHowever, it doesnât matter where I learned everything exactly, and what matters is whether or not I will release the secret to the public and make you bathe in the infinite wrath from the queen!â
âThis⊠this is the greatest scandal for the queen. Once it is set to public, the queen will be the first to take the hit and be doomed forever!â
Li Lingfeng sneered and said, âAs the queen of the Imperium of True Human Beings, she should be an example of all the mothers in the world, and yet, she had a bastard in secret. Once the issue is exposed, the Li family will be the first to punish her. On what basis do you think she can possibly deal with me?
âYou are too na?ve if you think you can blackmail me with that!
âI will be really na?ve if I believe your bulls*it!â
Li Yao chuckled, âAnybody with the slightest wisdom can figure out the truth easily. Itâs been more than a decade since you stole Li Jialing and refined him in secret. If you truly wanted your biological sister dead, or to protect the honor of the Li family, you shouldâve submitted the boy to the leader and the elders of the Li family and asked for their discretion. For the interests of the Li family, they wouldâve killed Li Jialing without any mercy!
âAfter all, as your biological sister, the queen is from the Li family too. Her scandal wouldâve been the Li familyâs scandal. Once the issue is exposed, it wouldâve been an unprecedentedly heavy blow for the Li family. How on earth would Li Jialing have been tolerated in the Li family?
âBut as it turned out, Li Jialing is still vigorously alive even today. He has also received all kinds of procedures from you and is raised into a highly-dangerous super warrior. I assume that you mustâve been doing everything behind the leader and the elders of the Li family, didnât you?
âYes. That must be the case. Otherwise, you wouldnât have sent him to such a distant place as âManjusaka, the City in the Skyâ for strengthening, when there were bound to be tremendous secret techniques within the Li family that Li Jialing couldâve been refined with, would you?
âTherefore, you had your own plans in the matter too. You were hoping to blackmail your sister with Li Jialing to achieve a certain purpose, a purpose that is not necessarily in the best interest of the entire Li family.
âIf we get to the bottom of it, Li Lingfeng, Lord Li, your loyalty to the Li family is rather suspicious for me!â
