Su Jiuzhen turned his eyes to a light beam nearby, which was the picture of the surveillance camera in a narrow cabin.
In the picture, Hu Guohao, who had come to 'rescue' Li Yao, was standing next to two other Exos who were wearing Crystal Suits of the same style. Several staff members were standing next to them.
"Duan Hu, Duan Xiong, Duan Bao, take off your Crystal Suits and examine them. The standard Crystal Suits of the Furious Bears Union are very hard to come by. It is not easy to find them if they are damaged. Go and take a rest. Mission accomplished.
Good job. "Duan Hu, don't take what happened just now to heart. It was my fault. Even if something happened to Li Yao, it would still be my responsibility. Your execution was flawless."
Duan Hu, who was disguised as' Hu Guohao ', was greatly touched. His Crystal Suit shivered and replied, "Yes, Master Su!"
"Shua!"
The other two Immortal Cultivators took off the Crystal Suit first and handed it to the staff nearby.
Then, Duan Hu triggered his telepathic thoughts, too. Gold threads flowed out of the Crystal Suit and gradually disintegrated.
At this moment, the six staff members and the three Exos in the cabin were not protected by the Crystal Suit and were at their most relaxed state …
Duan Hu's Crystal Suit was about to be taken off when a piece of magical equipment no larger than a finger suddenly emitted weird green brilliance on the back of the Crystal Suit, right below the two intersecting tubes!
Huangpu Shiyi was suddenly alarmed, as if thousands of silver needles were stabbing him. He shuddered and jumped to his feet, shouting desperately, "Put on the Crystal Suit now! Put it on now! "
"What?"
In the picture, the staff members were somewhat slow to react. Only the three well-trained Exos changed their expressions at the same time. Knowing that Huangpu Shiyi must have his reasons for being so hasty, they immediately activated the summoning technique of the Crystal Suit!
However, even the fastest of them needed one second to complete the installation of a full crystal suit.
After the green brilliance flashed for three seconds, a flame condensed into a thin thread exploded from the magical equipment and pierced through the crystal reactor of Duan Hu's Crystal Suit!
The magic treasure itself was not very powerful. But it was very agitated and unstable. All the spiritual energy inside the crystal reactor was released, triggering a chain explosion inside the crystal reactor!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In the Tian Yuan Realm. The explosion of a super-compressed crystal reactor had once destroyed the entire Refining Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution!
Although it was the explosion of the crystal reactor that caused the crystal warehouse to explode.
However, in this starship, the explosion of a crystal reactor destroyed several cabins. It was more than enough!
For a moment, the starship seemed to have hit an invisible mountain in space. The earth was shaking, and black smoke was popping up everywhere. Inside the fire, countless Immortal Cultivators screamed and collapsed!
The light screen instantly fell into darkness.
Huangpu Shiyi and Su Jiuzhen looked at each other in bewilderment. The two Immortal Cultivators were stunned for more than a minute. Their faces were even paler than zombies, and they could not say anything at all.
…
An hour later.
Huangpu Shiyi and Su Jiuzhen stood outside of the med bay and looked inside gloomily.
Li Yao was soaking in bright green medical drugs comfortably as if he were taking a hot bath. He couldn't have looked more comfortable.
"The damage is very serious. Four of them were killed in the explosion. The triplets of the Duan family are all dead. Seven of them are heavily wounded and will barely be able to fight in the future. Five of them have broken limbs. Their internal organs and brains are seriously damaged. Their capability will be greatly reduced even after they recover. Six of them are only slightly wounded, but they will need to rest for ten days to half a month to fully recover their combat ability.
"As for the damage to the starship, needless to say, you should know better than me as a refiner!"
"This — this is …"
Su Jiuzhen looked even older than before. His white hair was standing up, revealing his bald scalp. He gnashed his teeth.
Huangpu Shiyi's face was gloomy, too.
However, he was a refiner. Most of the dead people belonged to Su Jiuzhen's system and had nothing to do with him. Therefore, he did not burst into fury.
Thinking for a moment, he asked, "How are Li Yao's wounds?"
Holding back his fury, Su Jiuzhen replied, "The boy is unbelievably lucky. The attack seemed shocking, but it completely avoided his internal organs and only tore apart his flesh and broke one of his ribs. He will be fully recovered after staying in the med bay for half a day!"
Huangpu Shiyi was somewhat surprised. He asked, "Is it possible that he intentionally hurt himself to win our trust?"
Su Jiuzhen sniffed. "Of course, I've considered the possibility. But from a practical point of view, it's very unlikely.
"Although his wounds are not serious, they were very close to his major organs. If he had intentionally hit them, he would have had to control his every muscle, every major vessel, and even the movement of his internal organs precisely.
"Otherwise, the flying sword would've pierced through his heart if he was careless. Even if he was saved in time, his capability would be greatly reduced after he was replaced by a heart of spiritual energy! The price is too high!
"Besides, although his critical parts were not hurt, he did lose a lot of blood, and the lacerations were quite serious. His combat ability must've been greatly reduced. How could a man with ulterior motives put himself in such a weak situation?
"According to my analysis, there is only one kind of person who intentionally created such wounds and kept more than ninety percent of his combat ability."
Huangpu Shiyi asked, "What kind of person?"
Su Jiuzhen replied, "A body practitioner who rejects magical equipment, does not use sabers or swords, and only trains his body by bombarding the gene chains and unleashing the primeval energy!"
Huangpu Shiyi was dazed. He took a long breath in relief and was completely reassured.
Li Yao was a fanatical refiner, a crazy bomber, and an expert in saber refining. Of course, he could not be a body practitioner who rejected magical equipment.
Wasn't this a simple and obvious matter?
Pondering for a moment, he said, "I'll ask Li Yao what is going on right now. But in any case, he doesn't know that Duan Hu is on our side. Everything is a misunderstanding."
"Of course, I know that it is a misunderstanding. It also proves that he is sincerely joining us. Otherwise, I would've stabbed the boy to death!" Su Jiuzhen's eyes were bloodshot. He was filled with fury, but he couldn't vent it.
He was even of the mind to strangle himself to death. He couldn't figure out how a well-planned test had turned out like this.
Even if the starships of the Furious Bears Union had caught up with them and a fierce battle had broken out … That would've been a great loss!
Huangpu Shiyi took a deep breath and walked into the med bay with a smile.
The moment Li Yao saw him, excitement beamed out of his pale face due to the loss of blood. He struggled hard and shrieked, "Isn't the Temple of Immortals awesome? You seem to have everything under your control. Why did the Immortal Cultivators sneak in? How did you protect me? The guy said before he left. He would never let go of the 'traitor'! What should I do in the future? I don't want to live in darkness for the rest of my life! I want to live on Spider Den for the rest of my life! "
Huangpu Shiyi frowned and said, "Don't be hasty. You are partly responsible for this, too. It's your fault for leaving a piece of alarm magical equipment in the room."
Li Yao sniffed heavily. He was not as intimidating as before. He mumbled, "I didn't know what was going on at that time. Wasn't it normal for me to leave a piece of alarm magical equipment?
"Right."
Li Yao's eyes were rolling quickly. He asked concernedly. Behind the med bay, he seemed to have heard a deafening explosion. The entire starship seemed to have been torn apart. What happened? Have all the Cultivators been beaten back? How is Huangpu Xiaoya? "
"Cough. Cough, cough, cough, cough!"
Huangpu Shiyi coughed hard and managed to say, "Huangpu Xiaoya is still in our hands. The Cultivators have been beaten back. But before they left, their warship launched the barrage of main guns for the last time, which affected us. The problem … is not serious. It's not serious.
"In another three or four days, we will reunite with Fengyu Zhong. By then, everything will be back on track. There will be no more mistakes! "
Since Li Yao was sincere about joining the Temple of Immortals, Huangpu Shiyi did not mind sharing some of his secrets with him in order to win the favor of his' future disciple 'so that he could dig out more secrets of refining from him.
Li Yao was greatly relieved. He said angrily, "Those b * stards were lucky to have run away fast enough!"
While he was talking … He touched the wound below his ribs that was gradually healing. He narrowed his eyes and grinned hideously. "Those b * stards were truly brutal. They almost killed me!
"However, I didn't let them off easily, either. Before the Cultivator retreated, I left a small gift on him. Hahahaha. I believe that they will like it very much!"
Huangpu Shiyi couldn't help but shudder. "What — what gift?"
Li Yao chuckled and said, "Over the past few days, according to the techniques you taught me and my own experience in refining Crystal Suit Bombs, I've finally developed a new model of Anti- Crystal Suit Bomb. I've named it 'Crystal Suit Killer'!
"The Crystal Suit Killer has three features.
"Firstly, it is very small! It is very light! It is very stealthy!
"In the Skyhill Sword Seminar, I learned a new understanding from polishing the crystal chips with my bare hands. I have a deeper understanding about the engraving of micro rune arrays. Many aggressive and explosive rune arrays can be engraved to be two thirds smaller than before. Based on all that, the size of the crystal bombs that I've refined has been reduced to one third of the size of the bombs of the same kind, if not smaller!
"Secondly, the size of the bombs is too small. They can't be loaded with a lot of explosives. But it doesn't matter. I'll install the Crystal Suit Killer on the back of the enemy's Crystal Suit, where the crystal reactor is!
"Once triggered, the full power of the Crystal Suit Killer will turn into a stream of spiritual energy and pierce through the enemy's crystal reactor directly!
"It means that the Crystal Suit Killer is in fact just a 'primer'. Its purpose is to transform the crystal reactor on the enemy's Crystal Suit into a real bomb! I don't think I need to tell you how terrible the explosion of the crystal reactor is, do I? "
Li Yao grinned hideously. "Thirdly, and what I'm most proud of, is the trigger system!
"The Crystal Suit Killer is not triggered by a countdown or telepathic thoughts. Instead, it is triggered by certain conditions.
"The trigger condition is when the enemy takes off the Crystal Suit and the crystal suit is about 50% decomposed.
"You see, if the enemy is wearing a Crystal Suit, most of the power of the explosion will be blocked by the Crystal Suit. The damage of the explosion won't be much.
"But those who are not wearing a Crystal Suit will be much more vulnerable!
Yes. When will an Exo take off his crystal suit? "
Of course, it will be when he feels that it is the safest and most relaxed moment!
"Also, chances are that a lot of his companions, as well as the refiners and staff responsible for the maintenance of the Crystal Suit, will be around him. Everybody will be equally relaxed!
"If the Crystal Suit explodes at this moment, hahahaha. How many people do you think will be able to put on the Crystal Suit again or trigger the spiritual shield instantly?"
Li Yao suddenly rose up from the medical drugs. Holding the edge of the medical cabin, he leaned his wet face close to Huangpu Shiyi. His eyes were as sharp as sabers as they pierced into Huangpu Shiyi's pupils. He said, one word after another, "An eye for an eye, an eye for an eye. I, Li Yao, am a very vengeful man!
"Whoever and whatever force goes against me will have to be prepared to pay a high price!
"I wonder, will the guy named Hu Guohao take off the Crystal Suit in front of his fellow disciples when he returns to the starship of the Furious Bears Union?
