"I am a doctor and a virologist," Shou Yuxuan said calmly. "I know very well that, of the thousands of antiviral drugs in the Xing Yao Federation, none of them only target the infected cells.
"Many viruses lurk deep inside the cells and even disguise themselves as normal cells. With our current knowledge, it is impossible for us to distinguish them one by one.
"Most of the effective antiviral drugs will kill a lot of healthy cells while they kill the infected cells and viruses.
"Some of the treatments even cause serious damage to the human body, such as vomiting, hair loss, decreased resistance, necrosis of the femoral head, and many other symptoms!
"As a doctor, I don't want my patients to suffer that kind of torture. I don't want the healthy cells in their bodies, or even the 'guard cells' that fight against diseases and protect the health of the human body, to be killed in large batches."
"But I don't have a choice!
"In many cases, if we are worried about the patient's health and do not use radical treatments to kill both the infected cells and the healthy cells inside the patient's body, the only outcome is that the virus savages the entire body and leads to complete death!
"This is why I am willing to stand on your side, Brother Lu.
"The compatriots who died miserably in the square of the Federation were, of course, innocent. But they were like the healthy cells that were killed by a certain antiviral drug. It was a price that had to be paid for the survival of the entire body.
"Vulture Li Yao, perhaps, was not possessed. Perhaps, he was the most dedicated white blood cell inside the body.
"But …
"For the entire body and for the great Federation, he had to make sacrifices!"
Lu Zui remarked with mixed feelings, "Brother Shou, I've never considered a problem from such a perspective before. Thank you for sharing it with me. I feel that my belief is firmer, and my level is firmer now!"
Shou Yuxuan smiled and said, "Integration, integration. The people in parliament have been saying that the Tian Yuan Realm and the Flying Star Sector must be integrated every day!
"However, the customs, habits, and social systems of the two Sectors that have been separated for ten thousand years are entirely different. They are like two intact, functioning bodies. How can they be completely integrated in only a couple of years?
"There is only one way to fuse them as soon as possible. Use a sharp scalpel to cut two bloody wounds on the two bodies. Then, place the wounds opposite each other and stitch them together!"
"Using this method to force their bloodlines to fuse and grow together!"
"Let the Patriots Partnership be the sharpest scalpel!"
Lu Zui laughed heartily. "Good, good, good. With a man of insight like Brother Shou and thousands of true patriots, our country will definitely be saved!"
Shou Yuxuan smiled and said, "Alright, I've disturbed Brother Lu for too long. Rest early. I still need to rely on Brother Lu's brain to come up with strategies! The Nine-Headed Ocean Devil has been slain by Brother Diwu. After the storm calms down, I will send Elder Nether Spring's memories to the capital city. "
Li Yao's heart jumped.
'Diwu' was a rarely-seen surname. Few Cultivators in the Tian Yuan Realm had the surname 'Diwu'.
Few of them were qualified to call Lu Zui and Shou Yuxuan, two Yuanying experts, brothers and capable of slaying the Nine-Headed Ocean Devil.
Deep inside Li Yao's brain, a name suddenly jumped out. Diwu Jian, the vice president of the Exo Association of the Xing Yao Federation!
The president of the Exo Association was an honorary title, similar to the 'Lifetime Achievement Award'. It was usually held by the respected seniors.
The vice president, on the other hand, was one of the top experts in the circle of Exos of the Xing Yao Federation!
Diwu Jian, a Yuanying Cultivator, was a seasoned expert who had been famous for more than a hundred years, just like 'Death Ray' Ye Changkong.
Ye Changkong was good at sniping, but Diwu Jian was good at melee combat. He was the famous' Sword God 'of the Federation!
'Diwu' used to be a surname. However, after he advanced into the Yuanying level, the Sword God had been using his surname as a nickname.
Even the cruelest demon beast and the strongest enemy would not be able to escape from the slaying of his' Five Swords of Heavens and Human '. There was no need for him to use the' Sixth Sword '!
As I expected, the Patriots Partnership has been lurking in the dark for such a long time. There must be more than one Battle Yuanying expert, Ye Changkong. There must be at least two of them. Diwu Jian must be another Battle Yuanying expert!
While Ye Changkong is carrying out missions outside, Diwu Jian is responsible for the defense of the most critical undersea drug production base!
Realizing that a highly-dangerous Yuanying expert was eyeing him covetously, Li Yao even swallowed the thought of berating Shou Yuxuan for his shamelessness. Cold sweat was all over his body, and he did not dare move at all.
The Nine-Headed Ocean Monster had been slain by Diwu Jian. His enemy could focus his attention on the surroundings again. Even if he merely farted, he might be discovered by his enemy!
In a one-on-one battle, Li Yao was not scared of any Battle Yuanying expert of the Tian Yuan Realm, including Diwu Jian. However, his enemy was accompanied by dozens of Core Formation Stage Cultivators and quite a few fully-armed crystal warships!
How could he fight them?
He might as well crouch at the bottom of the ocean for a while longer!
Hardly had the idea popped up in his head when Lu Zui raised his voice to a higher level. "What's the meaning of this? Nine-Headed Ocean Monster? "
"Yes," Li Yao said.
"The base was attacked by a Nine-Headed Ocean Monster. It was probably triggered by the eruption of the undersea volcano. But it was not a big problem. Some of the anti-pressure shells at the periphery were only broken. Eighty-eight percent has been repaired. The Nine-Headed Ocean Monster was slain by Brother Diwu, too."
"Wait! Wait! Wait! "
Lu Zui was getting more and more anxious. He was not as anxious as he was when he heard the news of Elder Nether Spring's death. "A Nine-Headed Ocean Monster attacked the undersea base and sabotaged the defense system. A few cracks were left on the shell of the base, and a lot of seawater flooded into the base?"
"Yes," Shou Yuxuan said. "It was just the periphery. What's the problem?"
"And Elder Nether Spring was killed soon after the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster's attack?" Lu Zui asked.
Shou Yuxuan thought for a moment and said, "It seems so. However, the two things are not related, are they?"
"Maybe they are. Maybe they are. But it doesn't matter."
Lu Zui gnashed his teeth. "What matters is that the base is likely to have been invaded."
Before he finished the word 'invaded', the two parties had lost contact.
It was because Li Yao had slashed the undersea cable brutally!
Before the two parties reached out to each other through the second undersea cable, he had earned himself a few seconds of reaction time!
Li Yao cursed in his heart. He did not know that Lu Zui's computational ability was so terrifying that he had already sensed danger from the weird appearance of the Nine-Headed Ocean Monster!
Thankfully, Lu Zui had been planning too many schemes recently. His brain was in the low tide and recovering. That was why he was more or less slow!
If his mind had been in the peak state, Lu Zui would've caught all the traces after they exchanged a few words!
I've definitely been exposed!
Li Yao gritted his teeth. Having no time to conceal his aura, he rushed upward like a cannonball that was roaring out of his body.
He could choose to escape without alarming anyone. With his speed, it was barely possible for Diwu Jian and the dozens of Core Formation Stage Cultivators to stop him!
However, after hearing the insane scheme of the Patriots Partnership, how could he just leave like that?
He had to get the Jade Crystal Disc that stored Elder Nether Spring's memory data. It was the key to solving the problem!
"Come on, Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Blood Demon Form. Unleash your greatest strength!"
Li Yao roared. A lot of bubbles popped up around him. The blast spread out like ripples and formed an enormous undersea swirl!
At the center of the swirl, a shadow that was as deep as the night sky, as red as blood, and as shining as stars showed up glamorously!
Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Around Li Yao, the spiritual shield made of mixed spiritual energy and demonic energy was expanding nonstop. It enshrouded him like the most glamorous ball of lightning. All the seawater inside was vaporized and popped up to the surface of the ocean as bubbles.
But he stood in the middle of the ball and stabbed his hand into his chest like a saber. He ripped apart the breastplate on the two sides brutally, revealing the dazzling demon core at the center of his chest!
The Hellish River Cannon, the upgraded version of the Cell Obliteration Cannon, was the most powerful remote weapon on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit right now!
"Burn, my cells!"
Li Yao's soul surged. All the cells inside his chest seemed to have exploded and unleashed infinite energy. When the energy was gathered and enhanced by the demon core, it was like a small sun rising from the bottom of the ocean and illuminating the dim ocean!
"Intruder! It is very likely to be Li Yao! "
Lu Zui's voice finally echoed in the entire undersea base through the other cables!
'Diwu Jian', the Yuanying Battlesuit who was responsible for the defense of the base, discovered Li Yao together with countless Cultivators of the Patriots Partnership!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hundreds of flying swords, mystic rays, crystal cannons, and water cannons covered the hundreds of square meters around Li Yao like a storm and bashed his spiritual shield overwhelmingly. The spiritual shield was shaking and flickering, indicating that it was about to collapse!
Li Yao gritted his teeth and swallowed the blood into his chest. Before the blood flowed into his stomach, it was already transformed into the purest energy by the annihilation force of his cells!
Swoosh!
A sword aura as fast as lightning pierced through thousands of meters of seawater like an invisible red line and slashed apart his spiritual shield directly!
It was Diwu Jian's unparalleled technique, the Five Swords of Heavens and Human, the most dreadful sword art in the Tian Yuan Realm!
After only one attack, the sword aura split into tens of thousands of red threads and enshrouded Li Yao's spiritual shield tightly, shattering it instantly. A weird barrier was even raised, preventing him from condensing a second spiritual shield for several seconds!
Without the protection of spiritual energy, the enemy's attack marched forward and was about to hit the surface of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit!
