Ten minutes later, a warehouse was completely engulfed by the flood. Books to read w/w w · 1 · c · c
At the center of the warehouse, there was a space with a diameter of five meters that was impervious to water and fire. At the center of the space was a blue bead that was floating in midair and emitting streaks of electric light.
This was the Water Repelling Bead. Using the principle of ionization, it could maintain a completely waterproof space in a static state for half an hour.
Bai Kaixin's upper body was bare, and his face was as pale as paper. He was floating three feet from the ground with the help of the anti-gravity rune arrays. Above his heart was a translucent flying sword that looked like a fish bone.
The flying swords were covered with barbs that glittered with cold light. Just looking at them would make one's heart jump.
Li Yao manipulated dozens of metal wires that were thinner than his head with his telepathic thoughts and extended them into the hollow hilt of the Reverse Tooth Heart Sword. After groping carefully for a while, he completely destroyed the mechanism inside after a crack.
The blood that was gushing out of his wound immediately stopped.
Li Yao took a breath in relief and wiped the sweat on his forehead. He said to Bai Xinghe and Lei Dalu, "The trap has been sabotaged. It will not suck blood from your body anymore. However, I am not a doctor. The flying sword is too close to your heart. It is impossible to pull it out here. Let's figure out a way after we reach the Star Prier's House."
Bai Kaixin looked lethargic. His lips seemed to have been painted white as he stared at Li Yao. He did not move his eyes away for one second even when Li Yao was sabotaging the traps.
Bai Xinghe was in a trance. His face was aging at a visible speed, as if the sword had not stabbed into his son's chest but his heart.
Bai Kaixin extended a trembling finger.
Li Yao and Lei Dalu both looked at Bai Xinghe. They both understood what Bai Kaixin meant. He wanted to ask Bai Xinghe a question, a question that he had already guessed the answer to but still wanted to hear it from Bai Xinghe's mouth. ≡ ≡ to ≡ to read a book w/w/w · 1 · c · c
Bai Xinghe was silent for a long time. Then, he opened his mouth slowly. His voice was so hoarse that it did not seem to be coming from his throat but from the depths of his heart that was riddled with holes. But I was the one who killed him! If I hadn't forced her to stay on Spider Den, she wouldn't have died! She wouldn't have died! "
"It's me. I killed her, it was me! "
Bai Xinghe fell to the ground in frustration and mumbled to himself. Faced with his heavily wounded son, he did not look like the Pirate Potentate at all.
Bai Kaixin finally knew the answer. Her eyes were filled with sparkling tears, and the worry that had not faded away for decades seemed to have been blown away by a spring breeze in an instant, and more than half of it faded away.
For the first time, Li Yao found that Bai Kaixin was a very handsome man when he was not frowning.
He waved his hand slightly and allowed his hand to fall into his father's rough palm. He closed his eyes in relief and the corners of his mouth curled up. He didn't know whether it was relief or a smile.
"The Sword of Heart-Connecting Teeth has been damaged. We need to return to the Star Prier's House immediately. The Immortal Cultivators are gradually infiltrating our area. They will discover us very soon!"
Bai Xinghe treated Bai Kaixin's wounds briefly. Then, he asked Li Yao to fix the bottom half of the Reverse Tooth Heart Linked Sword while he cut off a section of the flying sword that protruded out of Bai Kaixin's chest, leaving only a slight protrusion.
Then, she put on a special waterproof combat suit for Bai Kaixin and held him carefully. After putting away the Water Avoidance Pearl, the four of them swam toward the Star Prier's House. Books to be read w/w/w · 1/k/a/n/s/h · u · c · c
Judging from the surveillance images, the main troops of the Immortal Cultivators had already surrounded them from all directions.
Cultivators who had reached the Core Formation realm or higher. It wasn't something the aquatic exotic beasts could deal with easily. At most, it would only cause a small disturbance.
"Quick!"
With Bai Xinghe leading the way, the four of them moved forward in the dark flood and returned to the Star Prier's House.
After half an hour of exploration, they gradually approached the area where the Star Prier's House was located.
However, there was no path ahead.
The entire pathway had been through an intense explosion. It had completely collapsed and been blocked by debris and rocks.
"Well —"
Li Yao frowned. When they came down, the pathway had been perfectly fine. He did not expect that it would end up like this.
"Is there another path?" Lei Dalu asked.
"Yes," Bai Xinghe replied.
Glancing at the surveillance picture on his mini crystal processor, he smiled bitterly. "There were two paths that we could've bypassed, but they have both been occupied by the Immortal Cultivators right now.
"Then, we can only find a way to clear this path!"
Lei Dalu stuck his hands to the debris and rocks that blocked the pathway. He bellowed and exerted his strength. An enormous rock in front of him was immediately pulverized into powder.
However, even more rocks were slowly collapsing from above. Once again, half of the hole that he had opened up was submerged. Books to be read w/w/w · 1/k/a/n/s/h · c · c · c ·
"Let me have a try!"
Li Yao's telepathic thoughts and spiritual energy surged out. The feathers of the Feathered Dragon Saber dispersed and condensed into an enormous black drill again.
The drill of mystic rays on Sparkle was a powerful piece of equipment from the Star Ocean Imperium in the first place. Li Yao had killed Skeleton Dragon with the drill of mystic rays. He had been fond of such magical equipment ever since.
At his insistence, the Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit did not forget to modify the small drill of mystic rays and meld it with the Feathered Dragon Saber while it was being modified.
Sha! Sha! Sha!
The drill condensed by the Feathered Dragon Saber revolved rapidly, surrounded by dazzling electric arcs and mystic rays. It was still glittering even in the middle of the dark river. Very soon, it drilled out of a large space.
However, the pathway was very long, and the geological structure above was highly unstable. Li Yao had to be careful despite the marvelous weapons in his hands. His progress was slow.
He was drilling in the front, and Lei Daliu was reinforcing the pathway behind him. Bai Xinghe, on the other hand, simply observed in silence with Bai Kaixin in his arms.
After more than twenty meters of the pathway had been drilled through and half of it had collapsed, Bai Xinghe suddenly said, "You can drill slowly here. I'll check the Immortal Cultivators' whereabouts."
Li Yao and Lei Daliu were dazed for a moment. They immediately realized what Bai Xinghe was going to do.
Bai Kaixin bulged his eyes, which were glittering in the dark flood. Bai Xinghe smiled and squeezed the back of his son's neck softly, making him close his eyes slowly and fall into a deep sleep.
"Shua!"
Bai Xinghe took off the Dragon King Battlesuit and stored the Crystal Suit in a Cosmos Ring, which he threw at Li Yao. In the meantime, he put on the 'Blood River Battlesuit' that he had worn in the second confrontation with Li Yao!
"Li Yao, the Dragon King Battlesuit is yours. It will be a great bargain for the Immortal Cultivators if it falls into their hands. "
Bai Xinghe said casually and patted the Blood River Battlesuit on his body. "The Crystal Suit is enough."
"Boss Bai!"
Li Yao had mixed feelings and did not know what to say.
Bai Xinghe put his son down carefully and touched his forehead softly. Then, he waved his hands. He disappeared into the darkness.
From this moment on, Li Yao could only talk to Bai Xinghe through the communication channel.
"The latest map of the underground fortress, including the parts that Yan Xinjian modified and the location of his secret training room," Bai Xinghe said, "I will send them to your crystal processor as a small souvenir for you. You are a very good opponent, Li Yao."
Li Yao gnashed his teeth. "Boss Bai, are you really going?"
"Is there a second option?" Bai Xinghe said casually. "I'll buy you half an hour. In half an hour, you must clear the pathway and rescue my son. Otherwise, I will haunt you even if I become a ghost! "
Li Yao was silent.
Bai Xinghe smiled bitterly and said gloomily, "There's one more thing. I've been lying to you. If I don't tell you right now, I'm afraid that I won't be satisfied even if I die. Believe it or not. Just consider that I'm telling you a story.
"Do you remember how I came to Spider Den as I told you?"
Li Yao was dazed. "It was all fake?"
"Everything before was real," Bai Xinghe mumbled. "We were caught in a cosmic storm. We wandered into an unknown space zone and were rescued by somebody. Later, we were in trouble. My parents discussed that they would kill their savior in exchange for their own lives … Everything was real.
"But later, I lied!
"At that time, I was seven years old. I'm already seven years old, so I already know a lot of things. "
"After I heard my father say 'only one of us can live' and 'if I don't kill him, he'll kill me', although I didn't quite understand what he meant, I sensed a hint of ferocious killing intent from my father's tone and expression."
"It was something that I had never sensed from my father before.
"I was so scared that I burst into tears. I ran out and hugged my father's leg without caring about anything, asking him what he was going to do and if he was going to do anything bad.
"I said to my father, 'Dad, you are a Cultivator, and Cultivators can't do bad things!'
"Perhaps my father was touched by my words. He was dazed for a long time. Then, he suddenly hugged my mother and cried, 'What kind of Cultivator am I?'
"The two of them cried for a long time before they gradually calmed down and discussed with each other. They were our saviors and had been so nice to us. If they really did such a thing, let alone Cultivators, could they still be considered as human beings?"
"Therefore, they decided to try to repair the communication magical equipment with all the remaining resources on the starship. If it did not work, they would make another decision the next day.
"But …
"That night, while they were repairing the communication magical equipment, our savior attacked us in advance!"
Li Yao could not help but exclaim in shock, "What!"
Bai Xinghe's voice was like that of a ghost. "Our most trusted savior ambushed us. Everybody on the starship, including my parents, was killed by them. I was the only one who was stuffed into an escape capsule by my parents in advance and shot out. I survived the disaster and ended up in the hands of the space pirates!
"Hehe. My father was right. 'Only one of us can survive'. 'If I didn't kill him, he would've killed me'. I killed them. I killed my parents!
"If — if I hadn't stopped them, maybe we would've been the ones who survived, and I wouldn't have ended up on Spider Den and become an inhuman, unscrupulous space pirate!"
"Why did you lie to me the first time?" Li Yao asked solemnly. "What's the benefit of such a lie?"
"Because I was trying to win your trust at that time," Bai Xinghe said gloomily. "But if I told the truth, nobody would've believed me!"
Li Yao found it strange. "Why?"
"Because —"
Bai Xinghe's voice sounded somewhat arrogant. "Do you know who our 'savior' is?
"Haha. Hahahaha. The one who saved us first and then fired the first shot, killed everybody on the starship, and looted all the assets was Xiao, the former leader of the Feathered Snakes Brotherhood, the CEO of the Grand Illusionary Group, the uncrowned king of the Flying Star Sector, and the leader of the Cultivators! Xuan! Strategy! "(To be continued.)
