Wang Xi's eyes were like sabers with hooks that were cutting every critical part on Li Yao's body. His smile was more and more intense as he said unhurriedly, "Only by planting a minor barrier on you, Fellow Cultivator Spiritual Vulture, to make sure that you will not do anything stupid that will hurt both of us will we reach an agreement."
"Barrier."
Li Yao rolled his eyes and immediately understood what was going on. He could not help but sneer. "You are trying to turn me into your accomplice, who will go through fire and water for you." "That's right.
"Right. Your cooperation with Qi Changsheng, Han Baling, and Wan Mingzhu, the three rapscallions, is certainly not sincere. After all the secrets of the Divine Palace are dug out, you will certainly try your best to eliminate all of them."
"It is a pity that it is too difficult for you to deal with the three of them on your own. If you have a great fighter like me as your accomplice, chances are that we will be able to eliminate the three of them one by one. That will be my usefulness."
Wang Xi did not give any comment. "Even if I say that I do not have a plan to eliminate Wan Mingzhu, Han Baling, and Qi Changsheng, you will not believe me, Fellow Cultivator Spiritual Vulture."
Li Yao sniffed. "It's none of my business whether or not you want to get rid of the three of them. I only want to know how you are going to guarantee that you won't get rid of me and monopolize all the benefits after the job is done. After all, after you plant the barrier, my life will be in your hands, and I will be at your mercy."
"There is no fundamental conflict between me and you, Fellow Cultivator Spiritual Vulture. Why do I have to eliminate you, Fellow Cultivator?"
Wang Xi opened his hands and said in a seemingly sincere voice, "Han Baling, Wan Mingzhu, and Qi Changsheng are all leaders of their own forces. Their ambitions are definitely not limited to themselves but to overturn the world. If I want to get rid of the three of them, it will be more or less reasonable."
"But you are a relatively simple Cultivator, Fellow Cultivator Spiritual Vulture. You do not seem to be interested in the so-called power.
"If we work together, we can take what we need. Everything in the Divine Palace that is related to the ancient refining techniques can be yours. You can even study the Cloud Qin Gold Statues. If I want to build an army of Cloud Qin Gold Statues in the future, you can be in charge of all the refining work. Wouldn't that be great?"
"It does sound good."
Li Yao said coldly, "However, your promise is too weak. No matter what, I am not willing to put my life in the hands of others."
Wang Xi's voice grew colder. "You don't have a choice."
"Either you let me place a restriction on you and cooperate with me obediently. Perhaps you'll encounter some fortuitous encounter in the process of exploring the Immortal Palace and turn the situation around. Or perhaps I'll really fulfill my promise and let you go."
"Or die now!"
He held the crystal sword upside down and approached Li Yao step by step.
Li Yao was breathing more and more quickly. The blood flowing all over his body was almost frozen into crimson amber. He suddenly gnashed his teeth and said, "Wait. I can cooperate with you, but I want to know more about the Divine Palace."
Wang Xi stopped. He did not expect that Li Yao would propose such a weird request. Deep in thought, he looked at Li Yao suspiciously.
"I need to calculate the odds that I will be killed after the exploration of the Divine Palace according to the information I know. Then, I will decide whether or not to cooperate with you."
Li Yao explained, "If I will definitely be killed by you after the mission is accomplished, what's the point of being insulted by you for no good reason? I might as well fight it out right now."
Wang Xi narrowed his eyes, which turned into two cold brilliance. He said, one word after another, "As I said, you don't have a choice."
"I don't have a choice, but you do."
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "You can choose to tell me everything about the Divine Palace. Then, it will be possible that you will be supported wholeheartedly by a super expert on par with Qi Changsheng, Han Baling, and Wan Mingzhu. My expertise in refining will be of great help to you during the exploration of the Divine Palace, too.
"You can also choose to kill me right now. In such a case, not only will you lose a potential subordinate, you may also suffer irreversible wounds.
"You don't think that I can't hurt you at all because I don't have any magical equipment in my hands, do you?
"You must know that in the following process of exploring the immortal palace, you will still have to scheme and compete with the few ferocious people in the world. If you suffer some extremely strange small injuries before this, it won't be too good, right?"
Li Yao chuckled like a crow.
Staring at him for a long time, Wang Xi furrowed his eyebrows and then furrowed them again. He said slowly, "Alright. Like I said before, I am sincerely cooperating with you, Fellow Cultivator Spiritual Vulture. The so-called barriers were only because I had no other choice. To show my sincerity, I can tell you the whole story."
"Then, go ahead."
Li Yao licked his bloody lips and pricked up his ears. "I'm all ears."
"The so-called Divine Palace …"
Wang Xi's eyes were somewhat unfocused, as if he were caught in a distant memory.
But the next second, his eyes were focused, sharp, and blossoming again.
Solemnly, he bit his lips hard, with vague confusion on his face. He sniffed the air carefully, as if he could smell the scent of extreme danger.
"Something isn't right."
Wang Xi mumbled to himself. He focused his eyes on Li Yao again, especially his left arm, which seemed to have been cut off and was dangling softly behind him. The blood was almost running dry.
"Your left hand. Show it to me."
Wang Xi demanded. His crystal sword was humming, and thousands of stars were ready to be unleashed.
Li Yao was slightly dazed. Vague confusion was beaming out of his face, as if he did not understand what Wang Xi meant.
There was a deep, bloody hole on his left shoulder blade. It seemed that the shoulder blade and the joint had been minced apart by the aura of the sword. His entire left arm could not move at all.
When he crashed to the ground, his left arm had been bent behind his back the whole time.
At this moment, he could only grab it with his right hand. While grabbing it, he grunted, "My left arm seems to have been broken."
Before he said the last word, a series of cracking noises were echoing deep inside Li Yao's left arm.
It was like a snake whose bones had been crushed and turned into the most ferocious dragon instantly.
Shua! Shua!
Shua! Shua! The skin on Li Yao's left arm turned black and green at first, before a series of greasy, shiny scales grew out. Bone spurs bounced out of his flesh like sharp blades, too.
His opened fingers also expanded abruptly. A round crystal at the center of his palm was emitting dazzling, incandescent colors because of the surging energy inside the mitochondria.
"Cell Obliteration Cannon, attack!"
The moment he crashed to the ground, Li Yao had commanded the mental devil to activate the primeval cells inside his left arm crazily to repair his body as quickly as possible while accumulating the power of the Cell Obliteration Cannon bit by bit.
If he had been given half a minute, truly half a minute, the Cell Obliteration Cannon would have accumulated enough energy to cover the entire desolate island with its destructive power.
But out of his expectation, Wang Xi's senses for danger were so keen that he smelled vague demonic energy in the air. Li Yao had to change his plan and take action in a hurry.
Hiu!
A streak of the purest ivory light rushed out of Li Yao's palm and darted toward Wang Xi's face.
The two of them were very close to each other. Even though Wang Xi sensed something wrong, he did not expect that Li Yao, a 'master of refining', could still launch such a brutal attack without any magical equipment.
He managed to tilt his head and narrowly avoided the bombardment of the Cell Obliteration Cannon, but half of his cheek and his temple were still hit brutally. He felt that he had been splashed with magma.
Wang Xi shrieked miserably and made the wisest choice. He retreated without caring about anything.
Li Yao grinned hideously. His tusks grew rapidly in cracking noises, and his left eye turned into a weird, bloody color. New granulation was crawling out of the seemingly terrible wounds all over his body. The result of the crazy explosion of the primeval cells was that his body was healing at a visible speed, and he was even as tough and terrifying as a primeval beast.
Wang Xi had overlooked one thing despite all his calculations.
With the 'apocalyptic body' that had been modified by the mental devil, and after five years of melee combat with Ding Lingdang in outer space, Li Yao was one of the most dreadful slaughter weapons on the planet with only his body of flesh and blood without any magical equipment.
Shua!
Li Yao's ghost claw snatched at Wang Xi's' impressive breasts' from his right side.
The Cell Obliteration Cannon just now not only seriously scratched Wang Xi's face, but it also caused serious damage to his right eye. He would not be able to see anything clearly for the time being.
Naturally, Li Yao would not let go of such a great opportunity. His every claw was enshrouded in fatal demonic energy, which made them look like five sharp flying swords.
He was not necessarily going to pierce through Wang Xi's chest.
Well, even if he could only tear apart the guy's clothes and see the real face of the plump woman, it would not be a bad idea.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
At the critical moment, Wang Xi's face was as cold as frost. His teeth were biting his lips hard, indicating that he was truly infuriated. A storm of sword brilliance spurted out again, almost twice as bright as before, forming an impenetrable defense in front of him.
Li Yao chuckled and took the opportunity to turn around. He waved his sharp claw and grabbed the 'Sound Nest', a piece of jamming magical equipment that was still floating in midair. He squeezed and kneaded for a while, enshrouding the 'Sound Nest' with his overwhelming demonic energy and blocking the blast.
Shua! Shua!
The molecular mica threads, the needles, and the crystal bombs inside the Cosmos Rings could finally be retrieved.
With all the magical equipment in his hands, and the guy's right eye being wounded by the Cell Obliteration Cannon, Li Yao took the initiative again.
