Vague brilliance was spreading out from the depths of the gate. It should be some kind of inert gas that kept the performance of the magical equipment stable during the long-term hibernation. At first glance, a splendid new world seemed to be hidden inside.
Wang Xi hesitated for a moment in front of the new world. Biting her lips softly, she strode in.
Hardly had she walked in when the cabin door was about to be closed again.
Li Yao's heart was beating faster than ever. Even his breastbone was aching, as if it were about to explode.
This was his only chance.
It was about the control of a Nuwa warship that could possibly still take off.
Wang Xi had suffered another blow from Yan Liren. Her combat ability was at the lowest point.
Even at the risk of her identity being exposed, it was worth a try.
BOOM!
Li Yao seemed to have stepped on ten thousand crystal bombs. He leaped out of the corner and lunged into the cabin before it was closed, crashing into Wang Xi's back.
Wang Xi opened the door of the bridge of the Nuwa warship. She was in the middle of a dazzling, ecstatic state.
But out of her expectation, a ferocious force surged at her from behind, and the seven alarm rune arrays that she deployed did not react at all.
Wang Xi's face changed color abruptly. She immediately realized that somebody must've seen everything when she transformed.
In her excitement, her movements were somewhat rigid. Hardly had she turned around when she was blown away by Li Yao like a meteorite. The two of them rolled into the bridge of the Nuwa warship, one after the other. The cabin door was closed behind them.
It was an enormous space that was as splendid as a palace.
On the ground that was as smooth as a mirror, almost a hundred 'sky pillars' were standing. Every pillar had countless holes and was connected to each other by tens of thousands of crystal cables.
It was a certain array crystal processor system of an unprecedented scale.
Even though it had been in the hibernation state for hundreds of thousands of years, the crystal processor system was not entirely destroyed. Instead, it was emitting hazy brilliance under the protection of the deep blue inert gas, illuminating the bridge as if it were truly a paradise.
However, at this moment, the paradise on earth had turned into the Asura Arena.
Wang Xi's greatest secret had been exposed. His face couldn't have been more hideous. Without waiting for the momentum of the fall to end, he tapped on one of the pillars softly and immediately drifted back like a feather. The crystal sword that had been hidden somewhere a moment ago rushed out and turned into a crystal whip dozens of meters long, covering every gap on Li Yao's body.
The bones of Li Yao's left arm cracked, and the claws, the bone spurs, and the energy-gathering crystal protruded out. After all, Wang Xi had already seen his apocalyptic body last time. It would not hurt him to let her see it again. In the meantime, he picked up a metal claw with his right hand and manipulated dozens of molecular mica threads to deal with Wang Xi's crystal whip.
Both of them instantly increased their spiritual energy to the maximum.
It was a pity that the deep blue inert gas inside the bridge seemed to boast the weird effect of absorbing spiritual energy and restricting magnetic fields, turning the flames of spiritual energy around the two of them into hairy light balls. The auras of the blades that they released were often swallowed by the deep blue gas before they reached the enemy.
Realizing that, the two of them chose a more brutal melee battle almost at the same time. They turned into dozens of streaks of brilliance and entangled each other like dozens of vipers.
Chi!
Li Yao's shoulder was left with a hole the size of a finger by the whistling crystal cluster. The flesh around was in a weird, translucent state, as if it had been infected by a certain virus that had never been seen before.
Shua!
Long Yangjun's abdomen was torn apart by Li Yao's sharp claws, too. A very inconspicuous Cell Obliteration Cannon almost roasted all her internal organs.
BAM!
Despite the heavy wounds, the two of them did not even frown. Summoning all the spiritual energy in their body, they had a head-on clash without any fancy tricks. Although they weighed only hundreds of kilograms, the impact was like two mountains crashing into each other. Even the almost stagnant deep blue gas was rippling because of their collision.
Li Yao and Wang Xi grunted at the same time and fell backward. Both of them felt that their veins and nerves were broken, their internal organs were burning, and their souls were shaking like a lone boat in a surging ocean.
This is not the way to go.
Li Yao gritted his teeth in his heart.
His Cultivation was on par with Wang Xi's in the first place. Although Wang Xi's leg had been slashed by Li Yao's sword, she was not someone that Li Yao could kill easily when she was in a desperate fight.
Besides, Li Yao did not want to kill Wang Xi at all. He only wanted to capture her alive and interrogate her about the whole incident. He might even be able to learn the maneuvering methods of the Nuwa warship through Wang Xi.
It can't be helped. I have to resort to my ultimate move.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes. Dangerous brilliance beamed out of his crimson left eye. After all, Wang Xi had been suspicious of his identity since a long time ago, and his disguise could not be flawless. Besides, it was very strange that he had shown up in this place in the first place. There was no way that he could fool a schemer of Wang Xi's level with any excuse.
It was never Li Yao's style to be attacked passively. It was also not his style to sit there and be suspected and interrogated. For the Nuwa warship and the factories of the Colossi, he would not hesitate to expose the existence of the Crystal Suit.
After all, he had to capture Wang Xi alive and take the initiative first.
Li Yao's eyes were rolling crazily. He inputted the distribution data of the hundred pillars into his brain and sorted out dozens of different tactics.
When a cluster of crystal swords pierced at his thigh again, he pretended that he was unable to dodge in time, and a long bloody mark was left on the outside of his thigh. He staggered to the right, but the dozens of super-tiny crystal bombs were thrown at the route of Wang Xi's attack that he had predicted with the secret technique of 'Thousand Fingers Soft Bones'.
The super-tiny crystal bombs were the essence of the most advanced explosive magical equipment of the Xing Yao Federation. Although they were only the size of a fingernail, they were five times more powerful than the grenades of the Ancient Sages Sector. After they were launched, they exploded between Li Yao and Wang Xi, forming a colorful wall of spiritual energy. Even if they could not heavily wound Wang Xi, they could at least block her for a moment.
It was exactly the critical second that Li Yao was fighting for.
"Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, Cloak."
With everything coming to this point, there was no need to hide anymore. Li Yao tapped the center of his eyebrow. His spiritual energy surged out together with his soundwaves. Dozens of streaks of black-and-red brilliance suddenly darted out of his Cosmos Ring and condensed into a magnificent Crystal Suit around him.
My combat ability is on par with Wang Xi's in the first place. After I put on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that has been significantly upgraded with the technology of Kunlun, my combat ability will be improved by at least two times. I will definitely be able to capture her alive if she is caught unprepared.
With the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit on his body, Li Yao's chest was filled with the familiar feeling and confidence that he had not felt for a long time. He roared, and the eighteen power rune arrays on the two sides of the Crystal Suit spurted out dazzling flames at the same time, driving the Crystal Suit to tear apart the blasts of the explosion and crash at Wang Xi again.
If everything had gone according to Li Yao's plan, the crash with the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, which had been boosted by two to three times, would definitely have been able to destroy Wang Xi's spiritual energy circulation structure. Her spiritual energy would have been disrupted for a moment, and he would have been prepared for the dazzling attacks that would follow.
Li Yao had calculated ninety-nine possible responses for Wang Xi. None of them could have escaped from his control. Hehehehe.
The problem was —
What the hell is this?
After tearing apart the aftermath of the explosion, Wang Xi, who had also been charging at him with all her strength, changed her form again.
Her shoulders, arms, legs, and chest were covered in a translucent crystal suit. The crystal suit was inseparable from the skin that was exposed to the air, as if it had been melded with her flesh and blood and had been triggered from the depths of her bones.
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit detected unbelievably high spiritual waves and immediately sent out earsplitting alarms. But it was too late.
The two parties were so close to each other that Li Yao had no time to change the route of his attack. He could only grit his teeth and crash into her.
The only comforting thing was that, at the moment of the collision, he seemed to have seen the same dumbfounded and astonished expression on Wang Xi's face on the opposite side.
BOOM!
Li Yao felt that he had run into an iron board that was full of nails.
His consciousness was even disrupted for one second, and all he could see was a bunch of mottled butterflies dancing in front of his eyes.
When his soul was condensed again, he heard the miserable cries of the mainframe crystal processor of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit, which reported to him the plummeting performance parameters of the critical units.
"Cough, cough. Cough, cough, cough, cough."
Li Yao swallowed a mouthful of sour blood and shook his head. He grabbed the handle of his saber with one hand and pressed the ground with the other, ready to retrieve dozens of Triple-headed Six-barreled Vulcan Machine Guns and a hundred crystal bombs from his Cosmos Rings and blow his mother up.
More than a hundred meters away from him, Wang Xi was staggering and dizzy like a drunken concubine. She tried three times but failed to stand firm. In the end, she could only kneel on one of her knees and breathe heavily. She stared at Li Yao coldly, half in surprise and half in confusion.
The splendid crystal suit that was beyond Li Yao's imagination was still growing on her body. Four octagonal clusters of glittering crystals were hovering around her like satellites. Although they were somewhat lackluster, they were more than enough to protect herself. …
The situation was indescribably awkward.
Li Yao had thought that, as long as he summoned the Crystal Suit, which would boost his combat ability by two to three times, he would be able to take down Wang Xi easily. Then, he would be able to decide what to do with her.
But as it turned out, Wang Xi had the same idea as him and had been hiding such a fatal trump card in secret.
The scales of victory had returned to the beginning. Neither of them seemed to be able to do anything to the other. If they continued fighting, the only outcome would be that neither of them would win.
