Pu!
A mouthful of black blood spurted out and wriggled in all directions as if it were alive. The control panel was corroded and squeaking, as if it were about to be set on fire.
Li Yao's eyes were bloodshot, but they were in a weird black color, which made his face even more hideous.
He didn't know that the curse that had been lurking inside his body was so weird that it didn't show its real power until this moment. It was as if nine black snakes had ripped open his heart, crawled in, and connected their heads and tails, forming a solid shackle that was about to lock his heart tightly.
Black Spider Evil Soul, death before curse.
If Li Yao hadn't received the heritage of Iron God Yan Ba, a Yuanying monster, and his body hadn't been extremely tough, his heart would've been crushed by the shackle.
If it were any other time, Li Yao would've been able to focus his attention and compete with the Black Spider Death Curse with the tough body of a body fundamentalist and the magnificent soul power of Ou Yezi deep inside his brain. He would've expelled the curse before it was fully activated.
It was also the reason why Li Yao had not been scared of Su Jiuzhen's death threats and killed him quickly.
However, he had seized every second to set up the trap on his way. He had only been able to suppress the curse and hadn't had the time to expel it at all. He didn't know that the Black Spider Death Curse was intelligent. It had been lurking in the beginning and hadn't burst out until the most critical moment.
Li Yao was calculating the escape route in the next second with his highest computational ability in the gaps between the broken stones and the space steles deep inside the planetary ring. Flying seemed to be unpredictable and easy, but the consumption of his soul power was no less than that of a life-and-death battle.
The Black Spider Death Curse suddenly took effect, constricting his soul power and greatly reducing his computational ability. His eyes were dazzled, and he made a mistake in his calculation. Immediately, a couple of broken stones brushed past the escape capsule.
The strengthened crystal window at the front of the escape capsule was covered in cracks. Immediately, terrifying spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the wall, as if it would explode in the next second, causing people to tremble in fear.
The cross-shaped wings on his back were hit by a weird rock, too. A large chunk of it was broken off.
Li Yao roared crazily. The spiritual energy all over his body turned into hot streams and flooded into his heart. His heart was instantly constricted to the size of a baby's fist, but gold brilliance was beaming out of its surface before it expanded abruptly. All of a sudden, it became three times the size of a normal person's heart. Even the left side of his chest was pushed up high.
As he breathed in and out, his blood boiled, and his spiritual energy exploded. The nine Black Spider Death Curses seemed to have been burnt by fire. Nine consecutive screams burst out deep inside Li Yao's brain, but they were temporarily suppressed again.
Only the heart-gnawing pain of ten thousand ants still lingered in his chest, as if it would never dissipate.
Before Li Yao could catch his breath, an ear-piercing buzzing sound came from the escape pod.
There was no need to scan various parameters. He only needed to raise his head to see that it was an enormous meteorite more than thirty meters in diameter. It was faintly glowing with a metallic luster, and its entire body was covered with sharp collision horns. It was crashing right at him.
He had been distracted by the Black Spider Death Curse and was half a second late in calculating the course.
Li Yao gritted his teeth. His hands were moving quickly. The small-scale maneuverability of the escape pod was accelerated to the maximum. Dozens of power rune arrays spurted out dazzling brilliance one after another, allowing the escape pod to avoid the head-on collision of the enormous meteorite.
But the two parties had serious friction. One of the sharp protrusions on the meteorite brushed past the surface of the escape pod. The shell of the escape capsule was torn apart easily. Even the magical equipment units that had been temporarily assembled were blown apart. The broken pieces burst out in all directions like the blossoming flowers of a fairy.
The escape pod immediately started spinning uncontrollably. It was hit by more than ten meteorites and was riddled with holes. It was about to completely disintegrate.
All the parameters of the escape pod had hit rock bottom. Ninety percent of the power rune arrays had collapsed.
Taking the opportunity, dozens of space pirates surrounded Li Yao and locked him in the middle.
Although he couldn't reach into their communication channel, Li Yao could still imagine the crazy laughter of the space pirates in the communication channel.
Li Yao was laughing, too.
Hideous laughter.
"I'm bold enough to challenge the Storm Prison Pirate Gang single-handedly. How could I rely on such a tiny escape pod?
"You want to die? Then die. "
"BOOM!"
Another meteorite whizzed over and embedded itself deeply into the fuel chamber of the escape capsule. The escape capsule instantly turned into a bright fireball.
The moment before the explosion took place, a streak of blackness dashed out of the escape pod in advance. With the broken stones as the stepping board and the space as the stage, it stood in the middle of the space pirates.
It was a weird-looking, intimidating Crystal Suit.
"Hu!"
Before the crystal cameras of the space pirates captured the details of the Crystal Suit, a cluster of crimson flames spurted out from the shoulder of the Crystal Suit. The crimson flames circled around the critical parts of the suit and then dragged the suit to dozens of meters away.
There was no wind in the sea of stars, but the crimson flames were like a flag that was fluttering in the middle of a hurricane. They were fluttering in the absence of wind, like a bloody cloak dozens of meters long that was invigorated by the overwhelming fighting will of its master. Tigers roared and dragons roared.
Black Crystal Suit, crimson cloak, Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber in his right hand, and the Purple Electric Blue Hell Claw in his left hand that could condense into a drill of mystic rays at any moment, Li Yao was like a god of slaughter that had arrived at the mortal world.
The space pirates had never seen a cloak of flames dozens of meters long behind a Crystal Suit. They were stunned for a moment.
They felt that the crimson cloak of flames seemed to be made of infinite blood. They couldn't help but feel scared.
Li Yao sneered, his eyes brimming with killing intent.
The 'cloak' of crimson flames was the first piece of experimental magical equipment that he tried to craft by combining the ancient refining arts from forty thousand years ago and the essence of modern refining arts.
His original intention was that he felt that there were too many secret materials on the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that should not be shown to other people easily. Therefore, he wanted to craft a piece of magical equipment that could cover them slightly.
On second thought, there were a lot of 'flag-type' magical equipment in the world of ancient Cultivators, such as the Seven Star Soul Guiding Flag and the White Bone Ghost Flag.
When the flag-type magical equipment was waved, it would immediately generate a cluster of mist that would cover the whole body of the magical equipment.
In the meantime, the flag-type magical equipment was large enough to cover the entire Crystal Suit like a cloak.
However, flag-type magical equipment was rarely used in modern Cultivators. The techniques that it contained had long been melted into the 'emblems' magical equipment and the patterns of flags.
It was not easy to combine a piece of real flag-type magical equipment with a crystal suit. Besides, in a battle in space, it would be inappropriate to hang a flag-type magical equipment on the back of a crystal suit and would be unsuitable for use.
Li Yao thought long and hard. After combining more than thirty ancient flags that were introduced in the classics on the second floor of the Heavenly Refining Tower, together with the modern techniques of illumination and dazzling magical equipment, he finally crafted the crimson cloak of flames.
The cloak did not have a real body. It was purely made of two flame generators that were installed below the shoulder plate armor.
A lot of ancient flags and techniques had been applied to the binding structure of the flames. It was a virtual 'crimson flag' that could be turned invisible or extended to dozens of meters away according to Li Yao's will, turning it into a super long cloak.
The most important function of the cloak was, of course, to cover the critical parts of the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit that came from Skeleton Dragon and the scraps of ancient magical equipment.
With the cover of the crimson cloak, other people would only be able to tell that the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit was a very awesome Super Crystal Suit at best. As for the details of the Crystal Suit, it would be impossible for them to see through it.
Besides, the cloak of flames had a certain effect of mental attack. When it was released to dozens of meters away, it could move on its own and unleash overwhelming fighting will according to Li Yao's will even if it was in a vacuum. It would be a great shock to the enemy.
Right now, Li Yao's Cultivation was not high enough yet. The mental attack was just better than nothing.
However, Li Yao believed that he would be able to craft the cloak of flames into a real ultimate treasure for mental attacks one day.
Sabers were roaring, claws were shrieking, and the crimson flag was rolling up and down. Li Yao's face was not hideous at all. Instead, he was looking forward to the moment, as if he had been looking forward to it since a long time ago.
"Die!"
Before the space pirates took action, he had stomped on a meteorite and attacked in advance.
All the space pirates thought that he would continue to flee into the depths of the planetary ring. But he did the opposite and rushed to the periphery of the planetary ring in the same way that he had come.
The few space pirates deployed at the periphery of the planetary ring did not realize what was going on at all. They only saw a flash of redness in front of their eyes. The crimson cloak dozens of meters long was like a raging dragon bathed in blood, and a murderous Crystal Suit dashed to their front.
In a hurry, one of the space pirates at the front hurried to activate his spiritual shield to the maximum. After a 'bo' sound, three layers of spiritual shields in red, yellow, and blue appeared in a row within three meters around him.
Between each layer of spiritual shields, there were also countless runes, which were emitting golden light in all directions, hanging down from the eight corners.
Although the space pirate's Cultivation was not high, he was born with thick skin and was very resistant to attacks. Therefore, he had been specially trained by the pirate gang and equipped with the Crystal Suit, which boasted a high defense ability, so that he could be used as a 'meat shield' to block the enemy.
Li Yao bellowed and raised his Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber high. Crimson aura spurted out of the saber and dyed all the stones within a hundred square meters crimson. The unstoppable saber slashed into the three layers of spiritual shields without any fancy moves.
Zi! Zi!
The three layers of spiritual shields twisted and struggled, cramped, and then perished.
The Boiled Blood Wind Slashing Saber pressed forward unstoppably and cut the space pirate into two halves together with his armor. His blood splashed out in the sea of stars.
The Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit passed through the two halves of the body, stirring up a large amount of blood mist, and stood above the sea of stars.
The blood mist seemed to be stirred by the crimson cloak and spread out around Li Yao, outlining his rampant killing intent clearly. It was not finished yet.
