Long Yangjun's attack could've directly cut off the crystallized spine of the Moon Devil, ripping apart the crystal wires and spiritual energy transmission tubes that connected the upper half of the body, and destroying at least seventy percent of the Moon Devil's combat ability.
However, the unexpected attack from the back forced her to wave the crystal blade to the side, leaving a shocking wound on the armor of the Moon Devil's abdomen.
The seemingly narrow and gory wound was immediately blocked by the sticky liquid metal that was secreted from the body. The liquid metal that met the air was quickly solidified into a gray shell, not hurting the enemy's stomach at all!
Before Long Yangjun realized what was going on, a cold and aggressive mental attack crawled into her brain like an invisible viper, displaying the ever-changing, howling illusions of "Devilish Abyss" Li Jianyi, the unparalleled expert of the Meditation Healers!
With the enhancement of the Colossus, Li Jianyi boosted his brainwaves to the maximum and slapped the "Heavenly Crystal" brutally like a whip!
It was a fatal attack that he had focused his hundred years of Cultivation on. If it had hit a regular expert of Yuanying, they might've been turned into idiots immediately.
Despite the toughness of Long Yangjun's soul, she was still slowed down for a moment. After only half a second, "Star Breaker" Song Huanzhen's second storm of sword attacks came right after, forcing Long Yangjun to fight in a hurry with the "Heavenly Crystal" that only had one leg and one arm left.
After taking Song Huanzhen's stormy, incessant sword auras, she could no longer resist Yue Wushuang's ambush from the back. After a crack, the heavy iron tail tore apart the air and slapped the waist of the "Heavenly Crystal" brutally, which was the most vulnerable part of the "Heavenly Crystal", blowing the "Heavenly Crystal" away into a forest of iron, barely able to get back to its feet.
"A * shole!"
Long Yangjun was in excruciating pain. The icicles that were spurting out of her eyes were almost crimson. Not only did she feel that her whole body was in excruciating pain, but her left arm and her legs were also empty, swallowed by numbness.
The sensory components of the Colossus were highly integrated with the nervous system of the user. Although the sensitivity of the Colossus could be improved, all the external wounds would be fed back to the user precisely. In the most severe cases, the nerves and brain cells of the user might even be burnt up.
What Long Yangjun was most worried about had happened after all.
The trap that she set up temporarily did not delay "Devilish Abyss" Li Jianyi and "Star Breaker" Song Huanzhen for long. The two of them even figured out the direction of her attack very quickly and rushed back to reinforce the Great Iron Plants, blocking her way!
It was an impossible mission for a ragged Colossus that had almost run out of supplies to resist three Colossi that were almost intact, including hundreds of elites and even more regular Immortal Cultivators and battle puppets!
"Should I escape?"
Thinking quickly, Long Yangjun browsed through the 3D map of all the mines and tunnels in the hundred square kilometers around inside her head.
However, the three Colossi did not give her any chance to escape. They surrounded her in a triangle formation, and hundreds of aggressive telepathic thoughts blocked every gap around her like raging ghosts.
"Monster Li, you've really screwed me over this time!"
Vomiting a mouthful of black blood, Long Yangjun grinned miserably. Recalling everything that had happened in the past half month, even she was surprised by what she had done. What was she doing exactly? Was she crazy? Was she still Lead Eunuch Wang Xi, one of the Four Rapscallions who had wreaked havoc in the Ancient Sages Sector and did not care about anybody's life at all?
Just when did she start to change in such a way that even she didn't notice?
Was it when she first got in touch with the secrets of the Nuwa warship and activated the primeval memories that had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years?
Was it when she went to the Xing Yao Federation with Li Yao and saw a completely different life style and social form? Did it turn out that human beings did not need to live like pigs that brutalized each other in a pigsty or like puppets at the mercy of other people but could live like real human beings?
Was it when she listened to countless people of the Federation singing the national anthem in silence in the illusionary world that Mo Xuan constructed and tore apart everything that bound them with their united soul? It made her deeply realize that such immense strength was hidden inside the soul of human beings. It was even a strength that surpassed all the Sectors in the universe!
Was it when so many soldiers of the Federation, including "Rabid Dog" Helian Lie, charged forward dauntlessly in the fierce battle between the Federation's fleet and the Black Wind Fleet, sacrificing themselves to illuminate the dark space and the entire Federation behind them?
Had she left the Federation for the Imperium in such a hurry because she could not wait to unravel all the secrets one day? Or was it because, subconsciously, even she was scared that she would gradually be assimilated by Monster Li, the Federation, and the Cultivators if she stayed in the Federation with such people as Monster Li?
However, it never occurred to her that Monster Li would still chase after her even though she had run away from the Xing Yao Federation for such a long time. He even infected her with his unique stupidity!
"One false step may cause everlasting regret!"
Long Yangjun regretted what she had done.
However …
She could clearly feel that when she evacuated the old, weak, women, and children of the Great Iron Plants to the underground world, those people looked at her with heartfelt gratitude and unparalleled trust in their eyes.
Such eyes were something that she had never seen when she played "Lead Eunuch Wang Xi". She had barely seen them even when she played the "Serenity Seraph" in the past. At that time, the Nepenthe believers who had been brainwashed by the Serenity Arts would only look at her numbly and indifferently.
They were not real eyes at all but just flashing indicators of the spiritual puppets.
Human beings were social animals after all. They had to fight for something and someone, didn't they?
Was she … a human being?
Long Yangjun shook her head hard. The black hair that had been tied to the top of her head dispersed like dancing flames and melted with the eccentric fire inside her eyes. Her aura suddenly soared ten times, turning her into a Valkyrie from the primeval battlefield!
"Sister Long!"
Li Jialing was also caught in a hard battle under the siege of a hundred elites of the Imperial Guards and the devil huntresses. Under the enemy's stormy attacks, the weakness of the triple-transformational Crystal Suit, which was too fragile in structure, was magnified infinitely. His Crystal Suit had long been shattered into pieces, and his golden skin was directly exposed in many places. The gold brilliance did not shine for long before it was covered in blood.
To be honest, if Blackstar the Great hadn't ordered the underground pursuit troops to keep Li Jialing alive at all costs through Queen Li Linghai, he would've been torn into shreds by the Imperial Guards and the devil huntresses.
He might be spared from death, but he could not escape punishment. Every attack of the enemy was aimed at his limbs, almost tearing them apart. Li Jialing was knocked to his knees time and time again, but he struggled to his feet again and again and slashed the broken vibration saber into the enemy's chest brutally.
The only thing that supported him to continue fighting was his belief.
As long as he attracted enough firepower, Long Yangjun would certainly be able to take down Yue Wushuang!
The appearance of "Devilish Abyss" Li Jianyi and "Star Breaker" Song Huanzhen, however, made his heart fall to the bottom of an ice cave.
His strength was all drained, and he could not feel the slightest drop of blood or bone marrow. On one of his knees, Li Jialing supported his body with the worn saber. The world was swirling before his eyes, and his ears were humming. He could not get back to his feet at all.
"Serenity Seraph!"
Xu Zhicheng and the other Nepenthe believers had all been rescued by the workers and hid in the safe area at the edge of the Great Iron Plants.
At this moment, they were all "important assets" of the Great Iron Plants. The Immortal Cultivators did not want the skilled workers to be stomped into meat pies by the Colossi, either, so they did not interfere with their escape.
They all recognized Long Yangjun's Colossus and knew that the "Serenity Seraph" had come back to rescue them without bothering anything.
It did not require abundant battle experience to see that Long Yangjun was at an absolute disadvantage at this moment. She had been besieged and suppressed by the enemy.
Including Xu Zhicheng, all the workers were in tears and anxious, but they did not know what else they could do except clenching their fists and praying in silence.
Praying, on the other hand, was the most useless thing that they had done in the past ten thousand years.
The locals had prayed in the darkness for ten thousand years, praying that some vague light would appear deep below the ground and change their life at all.
But their prayers had never been fulfilled. All the changes would only make the situation worse.
Right now, the darkness was more intense than ever. Would new changes still come?
The locals were almost shedding tears of blood as they prayed in silence with their lives. Just once, even if it was only once in ten thousand years, let the tiny hope come!
The three Colossi of the Immortal Cultivators gradually narrowed the encirclement in the shape of a triangle.
"What a brilliant trap."
"Devilish Abyss" Li Jianyi's casual chuckle came over from the abnormally expanded head of the Colossus. "We were almost fooled!"
"Not only was she not at a disadvantage in a one versus three battle, but she was also able to launch such a counterattack?"
"Star Breaker" Song Huanzhen chuckled coldly, too. "I didn't know that Dongfang Wang had such an expert around him. Dongfang Mingyue, is that really your name?"
"She is not Dongfang Mingyue!"
Yue Wushuang shrieked, "When I was fighting her just now, I sensed a familiar and weird wave. It was tenebrum energy! She is deeply related to the extraterrestrial devils. Perhaps she is a real demoness. You must be careful, fellow Cultivators! "
"Extraterrestrial devils?"
Li Jianyi and Song Huanzhen looked at each other and grinned hideously. "It seems that we have caught a big fish by accident!"
