They were obviously two sides of the same coin. In the battle against the Fuxi just now, in order to perform the ultimate skill 'Earth Blast', their souls had been drained together.
However, in order to trick Lu Qingchen, while Li Yao and Lu Qingchen were dealing with each other, the mental devil had still secretly swallowed tremendous meaningless garbage data. Then, it had packaged and highly compressed the garbage data, pretending that it had a very powerful soul. Together with Li Yao, it had even put on an act, trying to scare Lu Qingchen away.
To be honest, for a moment, Lu Qingchen's mental defense line had indeed collapsed. He was almost fooled by their bluff.
If it had been an opponent that Lu Qingchen did not know at all, or an opponent who was honorable, honorable, and trustworthy, Lu Qingchen might've been fooled and fled in panic.
However, it was exactly because his opponents were Li Yao and the mental devil, and considering their misdeeds and shameless approaches in the past, Lu Qingchen still made up his mind and decided to take a gamble even if he had to die.
As he expected, he had seen through the real faces of Li Yao and the mental devil immediately!
It was not because Li Yao and the mental devil's acting skills were not good enough, but because they had used the same trick too many times and left a fixed impression on other people.
It was especially so in the battle to defend the Federation. They had performed similar tricks in front of Lu Qingchen and Mo Xuan, giving Lu Qingchen a deep understanding of their personalities.
Lu Qingchen's smile was more and more contemptuous and sarcastic. There was nothing but aggression in his eyes.
Li Yao and the mental devil looked at each other in bewilderment and swallowed at the same time.
"Like I said, it won't work. It will be a waste of time!"
The mental devil was almost crying.
"Who says it won't work? It's obvious that your acting is too exaggerated, okay? Why do you always have to act as an arrogant, despotic, and incomparably evil demon king? Why do you have to make a bloody mouth full of fangs? Such an exaggerated and unimaginative look, of course people won't believe you!"
Li Yao couldn't help but complain.
"I'm exaggerated? Are you kidding me? My acting skills are absolutely superb. It must've been you who exposed yourself. When I screamed miserably, my screams were as fake as possible. Do you have any idea how much I wanted to laugh? Before you blame me, you'd better reflect on your own acting skills first! "
The mental devil sneered back.
"What's wrong with my acting skills? Let me tell you, Vulture Li Yao has been unrivaled in the sea of stars for a hundred years. It's all because of my acting skills that I make a living! You can insult my strength, you can even insult my character, but you can never insult my acting skills! Also, speaking of laughter, what does that 'hehehehe' laughter of yours mean? Yes, there is an idiom called 'Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie', but 'Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie' doesn't equate to a weird laughter like 'Jie Jie Jie Jie'. Look, which normal person laughs like 'Jie Jie Jie Jie'? Just hearing this kind of laughter is enough to see through your true nature! "
The more Li Yao talked, the more infuriated he became.
"So, you are trying to shift all the blame to me, aren't you? You were the one who asked me to interpret the vibe of the 'dominator of the dark universe', to be a hundred times more evil than him, so that he would realize the consequences of his impulsiveness and feel the deepest remorse! Then, if I didn't laugh in a 'cackle', should I have laughed in a 'cackle'? What kind of 'dominator of the dark universe' is that? "
The mental devil was also more and more infuriated.
"I did ask you to be more evil, but I didn't ask you to be so dramatic. Can't you grasp the subtle differences precisely? If I have to teach you such a thing as' hideous laughter ', what's the use of having you around? Also, in the end, why did you charge at him so fast? You didn't even give him several seconds to consider before you charged at him in a hurry to swallow him. That was his natural reflex. Of course, he took action to defend himself! If you had charged at him slower and given him a few seconds to consider, chances are that he would've realized what was going on and run away with his tail between his legs. You're really a good-for-nothing but a good-for-nothing! "
Li Yao gnashed his teeth in fury.
"Are you serious? I risked my life for you, and I was stabbed dozens of times by him just now, and you're saying such things to me? Fine. If you are so dissatisfied with me, let's just call it quits and fight to the death. Even if I'm going to be completely annihilated by him in one minute, I'm going to kill the ungrateful bastard first! "
The mental devil shrieked.
"Come on then. I've been meaning to annihilate the unpardonable mental devil for a long time. Come on. I'll count to three. Let's attack together. Whoever doesn't attack is a coward!"
Li Yao roared.
"Alright. Let's fight to the death then. My good nephew, don't stop me. We can settle our business later. Everything can wait until I kill the scumbag!"
The mental devil was infuriated. No, it was infuriated.
For a moment, the two small earthworms expanded into boas respectively. Every flagellum was shivering at a high speed, as if there were propellers growing all over their bodies.
Li Yao and the mental devil glared at each other. Taking a deep breath, they bellowed at the same time, "Three!"
After they said 'three', the two small earthworms darted out in two streaks of gold and red brilliance.
However, they were not charging at each other but in two completely different directions.
Li Yao grabbed Xiaoming, and the mental devil picked up Wenwen. The 'flagellum propellers' that were spinning quickly provided a powerful impetus, allowing them to accelerate to the highest speed in the blink of an eye. They were about to reach the edge of the ocean of data in 0.1 seconds.
But right then …
Two dazzling saber auras seemed to have foreseen that they would flee. They had been waiting at the edge of the ocean of data for a long time.
At this moment, they slashed at the two small earthworms brutally, forcing them back in embarrassment.
Slash after slash, the auras of the saber forced the two small earthworms back to Lu Qingchen's front like a series of thunderbolts.
Li Yao, the mental devil, and Lu Qingchen stared at each other in bewilderment. The place was caught in dead silence for a moment. It was rather awkward.
On Lu Qingchen's face, he was more embarrassed for Li Yao than complacency. He was even embarrassed for himself who used to admire Li Yao a hundred years ago.
"…"
Li Yao, whose flagellum had all been cut off, did not know what to say. He could only cough and say shamelessly, "Qingchen, listen to my explanation. Well, in fact, the whole thing is not what you imagined. I didn't mean to trick you. I only wanted to teach you some life lessons through the harmless episode. It's really impossible for us to control everything. Look, I screwed up because I failed to control it well, didn't I?
"My acting skills are fake, but the truth is true. Don't be haunted by your own dark side, or you will end up like me right now, burdened by the mental devil that you can't get rid of at all. How miserable!"
"Don't listen to him, my good nephew. He was trying to trick you so that he could escape. Then, he could ask his wife to help him beat you up!"
The mental devil shouted. "Even I had to lie to you against my conscience because of his tyranny. But now, I've thought it through. Really. I've thought it through. Joining hands with you is not a bad idea. With my wisdom and your combat ability, who in the entire Pangu universe can possibly be a match for us? Hehehehe. Don't you think so? "
"Qingchen …"
Li Yao said.
"My good nephew …"
The mental devil said.
On the head of the giant of light that Lu Qingchen turned into, a few rays of brilliance that looked like veins seemed to have been broken instantly.
"You are a disgrace to the Federation. Let me send you to the deepest level of hell so that you won't embarrass yourself any longer!"
Lu Qingchen roared hysterically with all his strength. All the rules in the entire ocean of data turned into lightning and danced around his fists. His heavy fists were like tornadoes that carried countless sharp blades as they smashed at Li Yao and the mental devil, enshrouding the two of them entirely.
Even when he was faced with Fuxi, Lu Qingchen had never been so furious. He was so angry that he was determined to beat Li Yao up without caring whether or not he could digest and absorb Fuxi perfectly.
"We're screwed!"
Li Yao and the mental devil screamed at the same time. This time, they truly did not have any trump cards. They could only watch the destructive tornado grow larger and larger and roll closer and closer.
Of course, even just now, their double act was not really a trump card at all. They were merely stalling for time. They only hoped that they could buy enough time …
Right when the tornadoes that were densely packed with sabers and swords were about to rip Li Yao and the mental devil into shreds, a deafening explosion suddenly echoed above their heads, as if a burning meteorite had fallen into the ocean. The tides raised by the explosion almost cleared half of the data space, and the most powerful blast was about to pierce through the entire virtual world!
As the blast spread out, the entire ocean of data was burning furiously. The seawater turned into magma, which was boiling and exploding nonstop.
A cluster of ultra-compressed data streams that appeared out of nowhere hit the tornado that Lu Qingchen triggered precisely like a dark meteorite, shattering it into pieces.
Then, the meteorite stood in front of Li Yao and the mental devil, helping them to resist the attack of the giant of light.
With earsplitting noises that sounded like the operation of machines, the black meteorite gradually unfolded and turned into a magnificent iron giant. Dense, complicated runes were all over its body. The features of the runes were different from all the runes in the history of the Pangu universe. They seemed to be from … another universe!
"This is —"
Looking at his broken right arm that was slowly healing, Lu Qingchen stared at his new opponent in disbelief.
He browsed through the databases of himself and Fuxi, but he could not find any information about such a formidable enemy.
"A Boxing Champion!"
