Behind Li Yao was the flatland at the bottom of the ocean, with no obstacles at all. With Blackstar the Great's Cultivation, he could've caught up with him in one breath.
However, while Li Yao and Wuying Qi were stalling each other, Li Yao had secretly asked the mental devil to hide Neltharion on the undersea plateau and dig out many holes. Then, he filled the holes with crystal bombs.
When Wuying Qi chased after him furiously in "Hellstar", Li Yao triggered his telepathic thoughts and detonated the crystal bombs. Blackness that looked like mud immediately rose up like thousands of pillars at the bottom of the ocean, greatly disrupting Wuying Qi's vision and senses.
Li Yao activated the power unit of the Gold Vulture to the point that it was squeaking and might fall apart at any moment. Then, he rushed a hundred kilometers away and saw that Wuying Qi's "Hellstar" had completely disappeared into the darkness, as if he had gotten rid of it.
However, Wuying Qi's infuriated voice chased after him like maggots. "Do you think you can get rid of me with such petty tricks? Today, I will catch you and open your skull while you are still alive. I will take a look at the structure of your brain and see how different it is from the Cultivators of a thousand years ago! "
"Save your breath. There are too many guys in the universe who hate my guts and wish to skin me and mince me into pieces. Right now, their bones are already enough to beat drums, but I'm still alive and kicking here!"
Li Yao laughed while he rushed forward. "Vulture Li Yao deserves the title of 'King of Reverse Attacks'. You want to catch me? Let's talk about it after you are fully recovered! "
Wuying Qi bellowed. "Hellstar" was immediately accelerated by ten times. Dozens of metal tentacles darted out like flying swords, targeting exactly where Li Yao's laughter came from.
However, they missed nothing except for the seawater that was stirred up.
As it turned out, Li Yao had foreseen that his opponent would lock onto his every move. In the end, his telepathic thoughts were refracted and transmitted through a magical equipment unit that had been carved with vibration rune arrays. Naturally, Li Yao's real body had changed directions a long time ago.
Narrowing his eyes deeply, Wuying Qi spread out his telepathic thoughts at a high speed and locked onto Li Yao's real body again.
Wuying Qi truly did not know how to describe his feelings when he saw that Li Yao had stealthily steered a magnificent, dominating Gold Vulture that was running at a high speed. He gnashed his teeth and said, "I don't understand. If you are so scared of death, why don't you surrender to me? I promise that I will spare your life!"
"Even ants try to survive. I've finally reached the Divinity Transformation Stage. There are still a lot of places that I haven't visited and a lot of things that I haven't done. Of course, I don't want to die!"
Li Yao said hurriedly, "However, compared to death, I can't bear to live in a world ruled by a wretched old fart like you even more! Anyway, you won't be happy if you force yourself. I advise you not to chase after me anymore. I didn't lie to you when I said that I still have an extremely terrifying, ferocious, and cruel trump card. Don't force me to use my strongest attack! "
Blackstar the Great sneered nonstop. "Hellstar" was like a hybrid of a metal sea urchin and a super giant squid. As the black fog spurted out, it moved faster and faster. In the end, the metal tentacles all over its body were entangled into two enormous drills. At first glance, it looked like a weird-shaped shuttle.
After it turned into a shuttle, the efficiency of breaking the seawater was more than ten times higher. "Hellstar" darted at Li Yao like a streak of black brilliance, covering the dozens of kilometers between them instantly.
The metal feathers on the wings of the Gold Vulture had all darted out just now, and only the skeleton was left. However, it managed to resist the crash of "Hellstar" with its back. But after the crash, all the bones were broken and blown away, too.
"Pu!"
Inside the cockpit of the Gold Vulture, Li Yao vomited a mouthful of blood crazily. He felt that countless streams of evil energy flowed into his body through the gaps of the Colossus after the collision of "Hellstar". Ten thousand ants seemed to be crawling deep inside his nerve endings and veins, and three thousand hideous illusions were popping up in his head.
"Huh. What a familiar feeling."
The mental devil exclaimed in surprise, "Tenebrum energy! Blackstar the Great is not using spiritual energy but the tenebrum energy of the extraterrestrial devils!"
…
In the opposite direction of the fierce battle between Li Yao and Wuying Qi, deep inside the Silver Moon Ocean, Long Yangjun slowly sank to the bottom of the ocean with Li Jialing and found a supply station.
The supply station hidden in the sand at the bottom of the ocean had been secretly prepared by Dongfang Wang for his escape. Weapons, ammunition, crystal fuel, medical drugs, and the fins that could improve the speed of the Crystal Suit in the deep ocean were all available.
Dongfang Wang was killed by the traitors, and all the traitors were finished by Long Yangjun. Naturally, the precise coordinates of dozens of undersea supply stations fell into Long Yangjun's hands, which were enough for them to sneak back to the continental shelf quietly and enter the underground town deep inside the gap of the main continent through the secret channels on the continental shelf.
"Little guy, wait here obediently."
Long Yangjun tapped Li Jialing's helmet, hinting for him to crawl into the narrow space of the supply station. "I'll be back soon."
"Sister … Dongfang."
Hesitating for a moment, Li Jialing summoned his courage and asked, "Are you going back to save Brother Yao?"
Long Yangjun sniffed and said, "It's one thing whether or not I can save him, but if the enemy is really Blackstar the Great, how can I miss such a splendid scene when 'Vulture Li Yao' was savaged by Blackstar the Great?"
"Is that really the case?"
Li Jialing looked at Long Yangjun suspiciously. He couldn't help but gnash his teeth and ask, "Sister Dongfang, you and Brother Yao must've known each other for a long time, and you didn't just surrender, did you?"
"The little guy is very smart."
Long Yangjun said casually, "Why do you say that?"
"I'm young, but I'm not really stupid. If we weren't deeply connected, why would I risk my life to save Brother Yao when the enemy might be Blackstar the Great?"
Li Jialing got the answer, but his confusion was not resolved at all. His curiosity was almost bursting his stomach. Thinking for a long time, he still found it hard to believe. "But how is it possible? How did Brother Yao know you for a long time? What's your relationship exactly? Are you … a couple?"
"A couple?"
Long Yangjun was amused. "Come on, little guy. Let me ask you a question. What do you think is the most important thing for a couple?"
"A couple?"
Bulging his eyes, Li Jialing thought hard for a long time and said, "Telepathy? Mutual support? Shared weal and woe? Never leaving each other? Like-Minded? Telepathy? "
"No, it's' going to bed '!"
Long Yangjun folded her fingers and flicked the young man's head on the helmet neither too lightly nor too heavily. "Let me ask you another question. If you were a woman, would you believe that you had sex with Li Yao?"
Pondering for a moment, Li Jialing shuddered hard. "It seems … rather horrifying!"
"I don't find it horrifying, but I find it hilarious. If such a day does come, I'm sure that I'll be laughing my head off every minute."
Long Yangjun said casually, "Besides, the seemingly intimate relationship of 'couple' is only meaningful in the brief phase after sexually reproducing life forms develop a fixed spouse system. For the intelligent lives that reproduce asexually or in groups, there is no concept of love and marriage at all. Then, the word 'couple' will be utterly meaningless. My life will not be bound by such a weak concept."
Li Jialing was confused. "Well, I don't understand."
"Silly boy, Brother Yao and I are not a couple."
Long Yangjun smiled and said, "Such a chivalrous, distinguished, and loyal man can only be matched by the most heroic, powerful, and valiant woman. I'm sorry, but I'm not that woman."
"Heroic spirit, strength to uproot mountains and rivers, unstoppable courage?"
Li Jialing blinked for a long time, but he could not imagine what a woman who could be described by those words would look like. However, he finally understood one thing. "Then, you are friends, right? Come on, can you tell me more about Brother Yao? I've never seen such a … maverick Cultivator before. "
Long Yangjun said considerately, "There's no need to be so vague. I know what you mean. In fact, Li Yao was not like that in the past. At the very least, his behavior was quite normal when I just met him.
"However, you should know how much damage training and fighting can do to the human body and especially the brain. Li Yao is an out-and-out lunatic in training and fighting. After only decades of fierce battles, the frequency of his battles and the intensity of his training are much higher than that of regular Yuanying and Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators.
"It was exactly in the hellish slaughterhouses that he burned his life and soul time and time again, squeezing the potentials of his brain and defeating the opponents who were far stronger than him that he became one of the youngest experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage in the entire universe.
"However, such crazy battles and rapid leveling up seriously damaged his brain in the end, leaving behind irreversible sequelae. It turned him from the hot-blooded, determined, unyielding, and self-respecting sunny young man into … what he is today."
Li Jialing grew solemn. "I knew it. Brother Yao's behavior in daily life did not match the image of an expert in the Divinity Transformation Stage at all. So, it's because his brain was seriously wounded! So to speak, Brother Yao must've been a hero in the past, right? "
"A hero?"
Long Yangjun smiled and swung the metal fins on her legs away. "Maybe. But that's not what I'm concerned about. I simply find him interesting. The universe is so vast, but lives are so lonely. The more interesting lives there are, the better.
"So … hang in there. You can't be blown up by Blackstar the Great so quickly, can you?"
