While Jin Tuyi was taking over the control of the Coalition Army of Demons bit by bit, Li Yao was pacing back and forth anxiously in the middle of the same warship.
Jin Tuyi did not restrict his freedom. He was even assigned to the most important cabin on Blood Demon, the warehouse of crystals!
Even if he had not installed enough crystal bombs on Blood Demon in the beginning, the crystals and the high-energy fuel in the warehouse were more than enough for him to blow Blood Demon into smithereens.
It was exactly because of that that Li Yao felt that an invisible net had enshrouded him and even embedded into his flesh and soul, making it impossible for him to move at all!
He was more and more convinced that Jin Tuyi was a person ten times more dangerous than Elder Nether Spring.
More importantly, he knew exactly what Elder Nether Spring was up to, but he did not know the first thing about Jin Tuyi's purpose yet!
"Shua!"
The gate of the warehouse of crystals was slowly opened. Jin Tuyi staggered in.
He did not bring any guards with him. He did not even unleash his demonic energy. He was in the most relaxed state.
He was even coughing nonstop. Now and then, he closed his eyes and breathed hard, completely ignoring Li Yao's existence!
Li Yao felt greatly insulted.
What a joke. Among the super experts such as Yan Xibei, Xiao Xuance, and Bai Xinghe, who were not trembling in fear and activating their every cell to the maximum when they were confronting him?
Who dared to be so relaxed in front of him? Did they really think that 'Vulture Li Yao' was fake?
Chi!
Jin Tuyi closed the door and took out a bright green drug from his wings. He injected it into his carotid artery and moaned in relief.
Shua!
The moment he closed his eyes and sighed, Li Yao turned into a streak of blackness and lunged forward!
One had been accumulating power for a long time, while the other was unaware. The black flowing light flashed past Jin Tuyi's left!
Jin Tuyi didn't put up a defensive posture at all. He was still panting lightly and rubbing his temples for a long time before he recovered. He noticed the new gadget on his left arm.
It was an exquisitely crafted, shiny armband that looked like a gorgeous scorpion.
"What is this?" He shook his arm, his eyes filled with curiosity. There was no anger or fear.
"I wonder if Senior Jin has heard of the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle'?"
Li Yao sneered. "This is a small toy I made by imitating the 'Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle'. Of course, its power is far inferior to the former, but it still blew off one of your arms and severely damaged your heart. There shouldn't be a problem. "
"Don't waste your time trying to take it down. Without me, no one can take it down!"
"Oh."
Jin Tuyi put down his arm expressionlessly.
"Oh?"
Li Yao was dazed. "Hey, hey, hey. Senior Jin, this is a really awesome crystal bomb. Isn't your reaction a bit too calm? Do you not believe in its power? Do you want me to introduce its specific structure and operation mechanism to you in detail? Look, this is how it is designed. "
"That will be unnecessary."
Jin Tuyi said casually, "I thought that you had been thinking hard for a whole night. You should've come up with some ingenious moves. I didn't expect that you would still be blowing things up. It's too simple and crude. "
"If you have to rely on these things to support your poor sense of security, I don't care. I'll just wear them. However, my precious time and computing power are not worth wasting on such boring things."
"Boring things …"
Li Yao felt as if somebody had punched the tip of his nose hard. He gnashed his teeth and said, "It seems that you are very confident, Senior Jin. I will definitely not kill you, right? "
"Of course."
Jin Tuyi said calmly, "My confidence does not come from the boring things such as crystal bombs but from my precise calculations. Right now, I am the only person who can restrain the Coalition Army of Demons. Also, I seem to be able to communicate with you calmly. What reason do you have to kill me? If you kill me and make the situation collapse, what good will it do for you and the Tian Yuan Realm? "
"On the other hand, you know that the Blood Demon Sector has lost the ability to attack the Tian Yuan Realm on a large scale after the Eye of Blood Demon was destroyed. Also, until Elder Nether Spring is eliminated, we are all comrades on the same line, or at least partners.
"But you are still worried. You are still trying to gain an illusionary sense of security with the crystal bombs, which will deepen the estrangement between us. The bottom line is that you are not confident in your judgment, young man!"
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. "Cut the crap. What are you up to exactly? Why do I feel that I've been set up by you?"
"Then, you should feel honored."
Jin Tuyi was not bothered by Li Yao's covetous eyes at all. He found a large, high-purity crystal as a chair and sat down. "With my current situation, not everybody is worthy of my precious computational ability. You are perhaps the last opponent in my life that I will use more than 110% of my computational ability to calculate carefully. Keep that in mind. It will be the greatest pride of your life."
"…" Li Yao.
Jin Tuyi smiled. "Besides, it is not exactly a calculation. We are only cooperating in a rather special way to get what we need."
Li Yao mumbled, "So, you admit it? Everything was manipulated by you. You intentionally let Jin Xinyue and me leave Heavenly Path City. You knew the existence of the Spore Stratagem a long time ago, believed everything we said, and sabotaged it in such a way?
"If that's the case, everything makes sense now.
"I've always been curious. A man who was elected as the commander-in-chief of the Coalition Army of Demons and came up with the Red Tide Plan shouldn't be a mediocre man in any case. Why did you leak so much valuable information to me in the phone call and even remind me that a large batch of demon emperors had arrived at the last moment? You were clearly telling me to run away!
"Also, the process of sneaking into the Eye of Blood Demon … was too smooth. Although I encountered some obstacles, there were no major obstacles!
"The defense system of the Eye of Blood Demon is indeed immaculate, but the experts on patrol are too few. If one or two demon emperors had been deployed to guard the key nodes, the result would've been much different. It was like an immaculate chain that was missing the most critical link, and the missing link was perfect for me to crawl in without any danger!
"Also, when we met in the control center of the Eye of Blood Demon, you must've seen through my identity, didn't you? But you intentionally did not expose me and allowed me to modify the stabilization system so that the odds of me destroying the Eye of Blood Demon would be higher!"
"The most unbelievable thing was your mount, the Scorpion-Tailed Gold-Winged Eagle. How could the Demon God Virus break out at the most critical moment?
"Everything was your arrangement, wasn't it?"
Jin Tuyi coughed softly and shook his head. "It's true that I've known certain things since a long time ago, including Elder Nether Spring's infiltration. But my every move was monitored by Elder Nether Spring. How could he have manipulated everything?
"Ninety-nine percent of the credit for the destruction of the Eye of Blood Demon was yours. The best I did was to add fuel to the fire at the critical nodes.
"It couldn't be helped. When I discovered Elder Nether Spring's ill intentions, it was already too late. The people around me had all been infiltrated by him."
"I don't believe it."
Li Yao said coldly. "In the past, I thought so, too. You were too focused on the Red Tide Plan and neglected the people around you. That was why you were infiltrated by Elder Nether Spring.
"But now, it appears that if Elder Nether Spring is one star dangerous, you are at least five stars, Senior Jin. You have clearly calculated everything. How could you have been infiltrated by him?"
"Have you ever heard of 'cerebral sclerosis'?" Jin Tuyi asked calmly.
Li Yao was dazed for a moment, but he nodded.
"I was diagnosed with Highly-Differentiated Cerebral Sclerosis a year and a half ago," Jin Tuyi said. "But before that, the disease had been tormenting me for almost five years. When I was thinking hard about the Red Tide Plan, my brain was affected by the disease, and I neglected a lot of things."
Li Yao was dumbfounded. His first thought was that Jin Tuyi was lying, but even if he was, there was no reason for him to make such an outrageous joke.
He had been fighting with a patient with cerebral sclerosis all this while. How could it be that he was fighting with a patient with cerebral sclerosis?
"Speaking of which …"
Jin Tuyi smiled in self-mockery. "Maybe it was exactly because of my disease that Elder Nether Spring lowered his wariness and pushed me to the front as his puppet and a stepping stone for the Spore Stratagem. So, who can say for sure whether the disease is a good thing or a bad thing?
"All in all, it was two years ago when I realized that I might have cerebral sclerosis. At that time, I suddenly noticed the traces around me and knew that an invisible dragnet had surrounded me.
"However, I didn't know how large the dragnet was, how dense the holes were, how many of my subordinates who had followed me for decades, my brothers, my children, the elders, and my comrades, had been infiltrated, and who could I trust?
"In fact, I don't even know who spread this net."
"But I couldn't try it at all. Once I made a mistake, I wouldn't have a second chance.
"Therefore, I could only raise some new forces outside of the Feather Clan and my trusted subordinates. But under the strict surveillance, there were too few things that I could do, and I might not be able to make a comeback."
"As it happened," Li Yao said, "I showed up at that moment, didn't I?"
"Exactly."
Jin Tuyi nodded. "If all my family, subordinates, and comrades are untrustworthy, it seems that only my enemy is unlikely to betray me. Besides, it is such a terrifying and distinguished enemy.
