The Kleptomaniac was a Colossus that had made the best use of agility, agility, stealth, assassination, and other features. It was almost the most sordid Colossus in the entire universe.
Such sordidness was even the opposite of Li Yao's fighting style.
No matter what kind of person Li Yao was in daily life, and whether or not he was a bit … prudent in his strategic choices, he was still the hot-blooded, unstoppable, and unsheathed cannons in a head-on battle.
The Kleptomaniac, on the other hand, was like an untraceable wind that would steal something from the target every time it passed.
In the first collision between the Kleptomaniac and the Lotus Venerable, the Kleptomaniac stole one of the enemy's breastplates.
In the second collision, the Kleptomaniac stole a power unit on the left rear side of the enemy's body.
In the third collision, even the Lotus Venerable's left calf was "stolen"!
In terms of combat ability, Bai Xingjian, who had broken into the Divinity Transformation Stage in the Xing Yao Federation decades ago and was a new-generation, strengthened version of Boss Bai, who had melted the dual souls of "Supreme Space Pirate Yan Xinjian" and "Pirate Potentate Bai Xingjian", had been far stronger than Li Wuji in the first place.
Even if the two of them were to fight one on one, Li Wuji would definitely be no match for him.
Of course, in a battle between two Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, even if Li Wuji could not defeat Boss Bai, it was very likely that he would be forced to flee thousands of kilometers away.
But right now, there was still A Boxing Champion to deal with.
A Boxing Champion was not a human being. His core was a "battle puppet that could think and upgrade on its own". Even though he was different from the "information lives" such as Xiaoming and Wenwen, they shared a lot of similarities.
A Boxing Champion's real body was not a certain spiritual puppet that was attached to the Lotus Venerable right now but a collection of all the spiritual puppets. He had even crawled into the Lotus Venerable's database and operating system through the intrusion of the spiritual puppets, greatly interfering with the Lotus Venerable's battle.
It was some sort of … "possession" of machinery on machinery!
The terrifying Boss Bai and the weird A Boxing Champion attacked Li Wuji from both sides. The marquess of the Imperium was truly doomed!
For a moment, he felt as if the world was spinning as he was hit back and forth by a torrent of spiritual energy. Blood spurted out of his pores at the same time, and the spotless spiritual residence turned into a mess.
Fuzzy ripples spread out on the operation menu of the Colossus on the virtual light beams around, mincing all the data and commands. The Colossus was getting out of his control quickly, as if a sharp blade had stabbed into his nerves that were connected to the Colossus, tearing his soul away from the Colossus brutally.
"Hua la!"
Under the pressure of the two experts, Li Wuji's defense line finally collapsed completely. The Lotus Buddha's hands and feet were spread out, cramping hard.
The Kleptomaniac took the opportunity to curl its limbs into a giant iron ball and hit the Lotus Venerable's chest hard. Together with the Lotus Venerable, the Kleptomaniac crashed into the bridge of Eternal Spring.
The blast caused by the collision of the two Colossi was like the explosion of a thousand crystal bombs at the same time. The bridge of Eternal Spring was completely paralyzed as if a tornado had passed by.
Shua! Shua!
The sharp blades on the Kleptomaniac's elbows changed their direction and pierced into the spiritual residence of the Lotus Venerable, brushing past Li Wuji at a close distance.
The unstoppable aura of the blades brushed past every nerve on Li Wuji's body like a gloomy wind from the deepest level of hell.
The super-alloy spiritual puppets that constituted part of the Fist King's body also crawled into the spiritual residence through the open breastplate of the Lotus Buddha. They dug out all kinds of weapons, such as sabers, spears, swords, axes, hooks, tridents, and cannons, and aimed them at the center of Li Wuji's eyebrows and his chest, issuing silent threats.
Li Wuji was dizzy because of the blast. When he realized what was going on, he was already caught in the predicament where he could not struggle.
He was angry, anxious, and ashamed. His mind was blank. After staring blankly for a long time, he actually vomited with a "wah"!
…
On the ground of the Blue Sky Market, the resistance of the regular army was still going on.
The Big Bai Pirate Gang merely controlled the firing points around and prevented them from breaking out. They did not intend to attack by force at all.
Since the Big Bai Pirate Gang did not intend to attack by force, the remnants of the regular army who had just been bombarded by heavy cannons and could not reach out to their leader, Li Yuanzhen, naturally would not break out recklessly, either.
They still had great illusions, hoping that Li Wuji would discover something wrong and come back with the undamaged main force of the fleet to rescue them if they persisted for a while longer.
However, such a "beautiful wish" was shattered by the "cruel reality".
While they were at an impasse with the Big Bai Pirate Gang while crouching in the secret fortresses and firing points, a twisted, hole-riddled Colossus flew in from beyond the artificial atmosphere and landed above their heads.
It was exactly the "Lotus Buddha", Li Wuji's ride.
The soldiers naturally recognized their master's Colossus. They thought that it was Li Wuji who had returned in time to reinforce them. They were about to cheer and counterattack when they realized that something was not right. The Colossus was so ragged and smoldering that it seemed to have just been savaged brutally. It was not as clean and clean as Li Wuji's usual carefully-maintained appearance at all.
"What's going on? How did my lord's Colossus end up in such a miserable state?"
The soldiers of the regular army looked at each other in bewilderment, all feeling scared.
"Surrender!"
Half of the breastplate of the Lotus Buddha was kicked away from the inside. Boss Bai and A Boxing Champion crawled out of the spiritual residence and stood above everybody's head majestically.
Between the two of them was Li Wuji, whose face was swollen, tied up, and covered in blood and stains.
In a trance, Li Wuji lowered his head in frustration, not having the courage to face his soldiers at all. However, the crossed blades in Boss Bai's and A Boxing Champion's hands forced him to raise his head so that all the soldiers could see him clearly.
"Surrender!"
Boss Bai shouted for the second time. "Your master has been captured alive by us. This guy does not have the demeanor of an Immortal Cultivator at all. He does not even have the courage to die when he is given a chance to die for a righteous cause. Are you going to serve him loyally or even die for him?
"I cherish the fact that you are all the best starship pilots and do not want to ruin your lives. Otherwise, you can just block the surroundings. After I mobilize the starships over and bombard them for a couple of hours, which of you will not die, and which of you will be left with an intact body?
"Surrender. This is the third time that I've persuaded you to surrender, but I will not persuade you for the fourth time. Surrender or die!"
Hardly had he concluded his sentence when ripples that looked like swirls spread out in the artificial atmosphere. Aggressive starships broke in one after another, adding a vivid footnote to Boss Bai's speech just now.
Several of the smaller starships were dragging "Eternal Spring", the flagship that had basically lost its impetus and been crippled!
The flagship had been crippled, the commander had been captured alive, and their direct superior was nowhere to be found. They were also surrounded by the enemy. With the war coming to this point, it was not embarrassing for any troop to choose to surrender.
Even the troops of the Cultivators had to surrender when they had to.
The regular troops of the four Kurfürst families, especially the young officers, the common soldiers, and even the hominoid slave soldiers, had long been scourged by the tides of reform and the tides of the Cultivators. Their morale was not stable at all. The only reason why they did not retreat was that their opponents were lowly and sordid space pirates, and the honor of the regular troops was supporting them.
But right now, seeing Li Wuji's most humiliating appearance, who would they be dying for if they insisted on fighting to the end?
"Sigh!"
Clang! Clang!
The soldiers all sighed with complicated feelings. Dropping the weapons that were soaked in sweat and blood in their hands, they surrendered to Boss Bai and A Boxing Champion.
It was not until this moment that the common space pirates of the other twenty-eight pirate gangs, who had a numerical advantage, vaguely realized that something was wrong.
"This … This is not right. Didn't Boss Bai and Marquess Yongchun join hands to reorganize us? Why are Boss Bai and Marquess Yongchun's team fighting each other instead? "
The space pirates looked at each other in bewilderment, not knowing what was going on.
It was one thing to be reorganized by the four Kurfürst families represented by Marquess Yongchun, but it was one thing to be reorganized by Boss Bai alone, and they even had to face the dual wrath of the reformists and the four families together with Boss Bai. That … That was too absurd!
"Boss Bai, the heartless Boss Bai, the despicable Boss Bai, the insane Boss Bai!"
A lot of space pirates were woken up from a dream. They tried to pick up their weapons again, but it was already too late.
Their magical equipment and Crystal Suit had long been looted by the warriors of the Big Bai Pirate Gang, and they were arranged to stay on the unprotected low ground. The enemy, on the other hand, was occupying the commanding heights and the firing points, looking down at them coldly in mockery.
Besides, more and more starships were tearing apart the artificial atmosphere in the sky and breaking into the gravity circle of the Blue Sky Market. Like iron beasts, they were docked above their heads lazily.
Many space pirates with keen eyes noticed the emblem of A Boxing Champion on those starships after the first glance. Recognizing that they were the fleets of the Cultivators that had been coming and going at the edge of the Imperium unpredictably in the past year, they were greatly surprised.
"Boss Bai has joined hands with the Cultivators and the dreadful 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie!"
Such a realization smashed the last backbone of the space pirates that they were trying to resist with like a giant hammer weighing a thousand kilograms.
Although the starships of the Cultivators' fleet were all looted from the Imperium's army and even the space pirates, and they were even modified from armed mining starships and business starships, they were ragged, ragged, and not very good in terms of tonnage and firepower.
But starships were starships after all, and they were more than enough to deal with the "ants" that were scattered on the ground.
One careless move, and the whole game would be lost!
Realizing that they had stepped into the sordid trap since the beginning, the space pirates could only sigh and accept the verdict of Boss Bai and A Boxing Champion with their eyes closed.
Just like that, in only twenty-four hours, the Blue Sky Market, which had the most abundant assets, the most advanced maintenance facilities, and the highest upgrading and supply abilities at the edge of the Imperium, had three owners in a row.
