Butterfly?
A black butterfly that passes directly through rock, resembling a teleportation technique yet not quite?
Having discovered the location of Aunt Dragonfly's attack, Wang Jixuan was already on edge.
In a flash of lightning, Wang Jixuan transmitted a loud shout, his fingers rapidly forming sword gestures.
"Enemy attack! Eject now!"
Peony and Black Clam were visibly stunned.
Their equipped sensors and radars had not detected any sign of an enemy.
Suddenly!
A jet-black butterfly emerged from the rock wall above, fluttering its wings and scattering extremely faint light spots in the dark environment.
It seemed to be approaching Wang Jixuan's shuttle.
In that fleeting moment;
The two shuttles silently began to collapse and deform inward.
Without a word, Wang Jixuan tightly gripped his left wrist with his right hand and jabbed forward with his left hand in a sword gesture.
Great衍 Heart Sword!
A transparent sword light swept towards the jet-black butterfly!
Explosions occurred beneath the three seats in the two shuttles, ejecting them upwards, and the cabin doors exploded open on their own.
The jet-black butterfly also seemed to have not anticipated Wang Jixuan's counterattack to be so swift and fierce; its body was struck by the sword light and smashed to the side, causing light distortion in the surrounding area.
The deformation trend of the shuttles was interrupted for a moment!
Wang Jixuan, Peony, and Black Clam were ejected from the cabins, their backs slamming hard against the top of the tunnel.
The jet-black butterfly had transformed into a young human female, who was now kneeling on one knee in a disheveled state, raising her hand towards the shuttles in front, her eyes glowing with black light as she clenched her fist fiercely.
The shuttles emitted several bursts, as if they had been crushed into twisted aluminum cans by a giant's iron hand.
The firelight from the explosions illuminated the young woman's appearance.
With disheveled hair and a pale face, she was truly frightening in this deep, dark underground tunnel.
Wang Jixuan landed steadily, and two small flashlights popped out from the shoulders of his X-Armor, directly illuminating the front and rear of the tunnel as if it were daylight, and he held a long sword with autumn water-like ripples in his hand.
Blinded by the sudden strong light, the woman subconsciously closed her eyes.
A black shadow had already flown out from above Wang Jixuan's head, the slender figure rapidly rotating in the air with its head and feet as the axis, the pigtails behind the helmet spinning like a whirlwind.
Peony was charging forward!
She punched towards the young woman with her right fist, while the destruction cannon in her left palm had completed a rapid charge.
Wang Jixuan's long sword flickered, a hint of sword light brewing on it, seemingly about to unleash a sword aura, but in reality, it was radiating ripples.
Buddhist scriptures suppressing demons!
The young woman did not expect to be exposed prematurely, leading to the failure of her sneak attack;
Secondly, she had not anticipated that the opponent's offensive would be so fierce.
She crossed her arms in an X-shape, with faint black light blooming around her, resisting Peony's incoming right fist, the sudden sound of chanting scriptures made her upset and unable to concentrate, and her body showed a sense of stagnation.
Bang!
A muffled sound, the black light scattered like sparks.
The young woman was thrown backwards like a comet, her back slamming hard against the stone wall, she lowered her head and spat out a mouthful of blood, pitch-black light enveloping herself.
Wang Jixuan's long sword vibrated, and the chanting became more rapid.
Peony rushed forward, running around the arc-shaped stone wall, her clenched left hand seemingly about to throw a punch, but she opened her fingers, and the destruction cannon in her palm was already pressed against the young woman's forehead.
Point-blank shooting!
Buzz!
The young woman jerked her head to the side.
A light purple beam erupted.
The black light condensed in front of her offset most of the energy, but the skin on her right ear and the upper part of her right ear directly melted away.
"Ah--"
The woman screamed, and a pitch-black ripple rippled outwards.
Wang Jixuan and Black Clam were struck as if by a heavy blow!
Peony's figure had already leaned back and jumped away, landing gracefully and accurately in front of Wang Jixuan's left, the destruction cannon in her left hand entered cooldown, and her right palm had begun to charge.
With one side of her ear and hair burned away, the woman now looked truly terrifying.
However, she calmly stared at Wang Jixuan, seemingly not feeling any pain, and the destroyed skin and even hair were recovering at an extremely astonishing speed.
Black Clam, who had been watching the battle, had now completed the highest energy level charge of the destruction cannon.
He was not in a hurry, but silently looking for the best opportunity to attack.
Moreover, according to Black Clam's understanding, now was the time for both sides to talk, greet each other, curse each other, or try to extract some information from the other party.
Sure enough.
Before Wang Jixuan could speak, the woman was already asking.
"You, are not a psionic?"
"You are also not a psionic?" Wang Jixuan's voice was clear and relaxed, as if he had thousands of troops behind him.
The woman tilted her head slightly, and a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Oh? How did you see that?"
"Unstable soul."
Wang Jixuan said calmly:
"I just used a little trick, and cracks appeared in your body and soul.
"This body of yours should only be a B-level psionic, her physical enhancement is not very strong, but now, there is a psionic energy comparable to an S-level psionic in her body, and her internal organs and body are damaged.
"So you are... a spirit cultivator's clone?"
The woman said thoughtfully: "The three of them had previously reminded me that a tricky and despicable guy would come to bother me recently. You are indeed very tricky, you saw through my identity at first glance."
Wang Jixuan:...
The six spirit cultivators can indeed communicate with each other.
However, shouldn't it be the No. 4 spirit cultivator who told her? Why is it 'the three of them'?
Does 'the three of them' refer to the three under the Psionic Capital?
"So what," Wang Jixuan said indifferently, "Did you personally show up to sneak attack us? Or do you not even have a few trustworthy subordinates?"
The woman suddenly smiled, smiling very gently: "Human, you are very interesting, every sentence you say is trying to extract information from me, but I don't want to follow your rhythm to talk... How about becoming my subordinate? You can name your conditions."
Wang Jixuan said: "That depends on what price you offer."
"Name anything you want," the woman paced slowly, "I haven't informed Xingdian that your whereabouts have been discovered, so you don't have to worry for now. The three of them said that Old Sophie has been activated by you? Are you Old Sophie's student?"
"Old Sophie?"
"According to the numbering given by you humans, it is the No. 4 spirit cultivator, I should be No. 5."
The woman's voice became more cheerful, her pale chin slightly raised.
That kind of pride flowed outwards from her bones.
The woman said: "You don't have to bother trying to kill this body of mine, it's just a container, so I can come out and get some air, my power is beyond your imagination... Have you thought about the conditions?"
"Tell me what you can give."
Wang Jixuan responded verbally, while thinking rapidly in his heart.
Their shuttles had been destroyed by the woman.
That was the only reason why the other party was fearless.
As long as this spirit cultivator gave an order, they would be caught in an endless pursuit.
Wang Jixuan had anticipated many possibilities before, but he really didn't expect that the No. 5 spirit cultivator, who should have been the 'final BOSS', would actually come out for a stroll from time to time. Aunt Dragonfly should have been directly captured by the No. 5 spirit cultivator.
A Xingdian old silver coin was already tricky enough;
The No. 5 spirit cultivator was not to be outdone!
A text message popped up in front of Wang Jixuan.
[Black Clam: Try to delay as much as possible, you can agree on the surface, we are very passive now.]
Then he heard the woman mutter:
"What can I give you?
"My civilization is above human civilization, which is almost what you call dimensional reduction, I can give you all kinds of things.
"If you want power, you can help me restore my strength, and then I will build a kingdom for you, making you the ruler of all spirit slaves, you can use spirit slaves to rule part of this planet's area.
"Note, it is part of the area.
"Old Sophie (No. 4 spirit cultivator) is a soft bone, weak in nature, accomplished nothing, and likes to brand himself as a gentle liberal.
"You should already know that there are three strong old guys among the six of us, they are already helping the Six Elders build a planetary ruling system, and their power recovery speed is far above mine.
"So, in terms of power, I can promise you one-sixth of the land and sea.
"How about it?"
Wang Jixuan smiled freely: "That's not what I'm pursuing?"
"Then what is it? Human primitive civilization should still be in the social stage of pursuing humans playing humans, power can satisfy most of your desires."
"Individual advancement?" Wang Jixuan's voice was also a little uncertain.
The woman suddenly smiled: "You crave power? You are a little more advanced than them, they always think that power serves power, but it is not, the real fun lies in gaining strong power yourself, to understand the essence of this universe, I am starting to appreciate you."
The newest novels are launched first on Six 9 Books!
Wang Jixuan's heart skipped a beat.
This No. 5 spirit cultivator is definitely much more difficult to deal with than the No. 4 spirit cultivator.
Her own pursuit, and even her personality, are more in line with Wang Jixuan's perception of those cultivation lunatics.
Of course, he was also a lunatic back then.
The woman thought carefully and said frankly:
"The reason why I want you to be my subordinate is because you have a completely different power system from us, I can sense that, you are very interesting, the psionic energy in your body is constantly rotating according to a certain pattern, each rotation will make it more pure.
"This may allow me to have stronger power.
"I have always longed to reach the pinnacle of power, the sudden attack of the Blade Beasts and the destruction of my civilization prevented me from continuing my personal pursuit.
"So, I can't guarantee to you now that I can let you complete individual advancement, because I don't want to destroy this peculiar psionic energy model in your body."
"Once I've thoroughly researched you, I can make you the most elite spirit slave. If you can contribute to my goals, or if we spend more than ten thousand Earth years together, I can plunder the core circuits of other spirit practitioners for you, allowing you to advance into a true spirit practitioner."
"Provided, of course, that you let me study you."
Wang Jixuan shook his head: "I don't crave your power."
"Why?"
"My own is enough," Wang Jixuan smiled, "And for certain reasons, I can't let you study me. The powerful being behind me is very wary of that."
"Oh, alright."
The woman was visibly disappointed as she gazed at Wang Jixuan:
"So, does this mean negotiations have failed?"
Wang Jixuan said: "Not necessarily... You're quite interesting yourself. If possible, I'd like to interact with you more. At the very least, you're much more honest than that hypocritical and deceitful Spirit Practitioner Number Four."
"Really?" The woman smiled happily. "That old guy is hypocritical and arrogant, and he doesn't have any real skills. You know, when every civilization develops to a certain stage, there will be some bastards who rely on their seniority to act mighty and block others' paths to advancement, all while smugly calling themselves veterans... It's disgusting."
Wang Jixuan: ...
I can't respond to that.
That's too broad of an attack on the cultivation world.
He asked directly: "Is there any way I can convince you to come back with me?"
"Me, go back with you?"
"Yes," Wang Jixuan replied very honestly. "I'm fed up with Spirit Practitioner Number Four's endless deception. If you can come back with me, I'll destroy that guy directly."
The woman thought carefully: "You're essentially a lower civilization provoking me... Although I don't have much collective honor, how you treat Spirit Practitioner Number Four now is how you might treat me later."
"It's not the same. I admire your straightforward personality."
"I also admire your thinking ability," the woman smiled. "Without realizing it, you've started to dominate our negotiations."
"Does it matter who's in charge? Let me formally introduce myself."
Wang Jixuan walked in front of the peony, opened his helmet visor, and said solemnly:
"My name is Wang Zheng, but my real name is Mu Liang. I am a representative of a higher civilization, different from spirit practitioners, blade beasts, and Earth humans."
"I was originally an Earth human, so I hate blade beasts. We have that in common."
"The reason I was able to obtain power is that a higher civilization discovered humanity suffering here and sent me to help eradicate the blade beasts and help humanity return to the right path. This is a trial for me."
"In the war against the blade beasts, I fully realized that if I rely solely on my own strength, I will eventually be besieged and killed by them."
"Therefore, I am now more inclined to find partners."
"Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian of the D5 Integrated War Zone is my closest partner now. If possible, I would like the spirit practitioners to join our camp as well."
"Counterattack the blade beasts, take back the planet, and then I will provide some assistance to help you completely conquer the blade beasts."
The woman thought carefully.
Her current appearance has no meaning; it's just a spirit slave she has possessed.
Perhaps Wang Jixuan's gaze was too frank and sincere, the woman actually hesitated.
She said: "Frankly speaking, you really tempt me. I mean, I'm tempted by your abilities, don't misunderstand and think I have any designs on you."
Wang Jixuan was puzzled: "We're talking about power, why would you think of such a low-level thing?"
"Sorry," the woman's expression was somewhat apologetic. "I was being presumptuous, but I really was disgusted. The spirit slave I chose before, named Xing Tian, actually wanted to mate with me decades ago to achieve his own advancement, and even thought that as long as I had a relationship with him, I would become his mental dependent... It disgusted me so much!"
Wang Jixuan: ...
Black Shell: ...
Fu Jian, watching remotely: ...
Peony muttered softly: "Then he must like reading pulp novels from the Golden Age."
"However," the woman smiled, "Although that Xing Tian is a bit disgusting, his abilities are quite good. Since you want to cooperate with me instead of becoming my spirit slave, I need to test you."
"Test?"
"You probably don't know the location of my slate wall."
The woman said:
"I won't reveal your whereabouts."
"Next, find me, no matter what method you use, as long as you can reach me, even if you are seriously injured and on the verge of death, I will accept your cooperation proposal."
"I know that the reason you are chatting with me so politely is largely because you are afraid that I will directly send people to hunt you down."
"That's what I initially thought, otherwise I wouldn't have directly destroyed your means of transportation, but now, I find this model to be very interesting."
"The most interesting point is that you are arrogant at heart, but because of the current situation, you have to prove your ability to me..."
She blinked slightly and sniffed.
"I've already remembered your scent. When you come to find me, if you try to escape, I'll have Xing Tian and the messengers sent by those three old guys come and hunt you down."
Poof!
Her body was wrapped in black light, turning into a jet-black butterfly that gently flapped its wings and disappeared in a flash.
But her voice still echoed in the tunnel:
"I like your evaluation of Old Sophie."
Wang Jixuan hurriedly asked: "How is my scout now?!"
"Mai Qingting? She's a good seedling. I'm planning to transform her into my spirit slave. Is she your person? Then I'll speed up the transformation... You have to come and find me quickly, the transformation process can be fatal."
The voice completely disappeared.
Wang Jixuan and Black Shell stared at each other.
What, what should we do?
