"What is this?" a certain end-level boss asked curiously.
She completely ignored the shocked and somewhat fearful expressions on Wu Man and Zheng Shiduo's faces.
The two felt a powerful pressure, their internal spiritual energy constantly resonating, a pressure that the Number Four Spirit Practitioner had never brought to Zheng Shiduo.
Wang Daoshi kept his hands moving and replied, "A kind of evil curse."
"An evil curse?"
Number Five leisurely walked up to him, gazing at the severed leg in front of Wang Ji Xuan.
"It's just a different form of power. Who defines justice and evil? These are just definitions given by humans… Can I take a look? Just pretend I'm not here; this is a game."
Wang Ji Xuan cursed inwardly.
To treat human lives as a game, isn't this the epitome of a great demon?
However, what annoyed him was Number Five's attitude.
This guy is too arrogant.
"Then you stand in the corner and don't make a sound. You can watch me cast the spell, but don't ask why."
"Okay."
The Number Five Spirit Practitioner happily agreed, glancing slightly at the others.
Without any expression or any communication, she fully demonstrated what it meant to be 'ignored'.
Wang Ji Xuan's hands rapidly formed seals.
He wasn't afraid of others seeing this bit of evil magic. The core curse was silently chanted in his heart. To better conceal the secret and monopolize the technique, Wang Ji Xuan had deliberately added a bunch of insignificant talisman imprints.
He busied himself for about twenty minutes.
"Alright," Wang Ji Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Xing Dian's severed leg was completely disfigured, surrounded by streams of blood-red aura, faintly emitting the sounds of ghosts crying and wolves howling.
Wang Ji Xuan turned his head to look, his expression a bit stagnant: "Hey, why are you guys standing so far away?"
Zheng Shiduo gave an awkward smile: "It's cooler over here… hehe."
The Number Five Spirit Practitioner asked as if no one else was around: "And then what? Will this have any effect? Was Xing Dian's previous advancement ceremony interrupted repeatedly because of this?"
"No," Wang Ji Xuan said, "This is just preparing the tools for the curse. It hasn't been activated yet."
He used his spiritual sense to peek.
Several low-level spirit energy users, acting as waiters, began hurrying towards the rooms of the dead researchers, regularly delivering fruit and water.
The dead were about to be discovered.
Then there was no need to wait any longer; now was the time to strike!
What was Xing Dian doing? Meditating? Probably in deep thought?
What Wang Ji Xuan was wary of about Xing Dian was that Xing Dian was the only spirit energy user he had ever seen who had independently explored the methods of using spirit energy within his body and achieved significant results.
The Daoist gently threw the severed leg forward, clenched his left hand into a fist, supported his left wrist with his right hand, chanted words in his mouth, quickly cast a spell in his heart, his Yuan Soul power was almost emptied, and blood light burst from his eyes.
Opening his mouth, a blood arrow shot out, hitting the severed leg directly!
The object was suddenly wrapped in blood-colored flames, and a huge skull appeared on it, and then the skull disappeared instantly.
Wang Ji Xuan used his spiritual sense, and the Number Five Spirit Practitioner used her own probing abilities, to simultaneously look towards Xing Dian's location.
Xing Dian was very particular about his living arrangements; his residence and rest area were decorated very elegantly.
At this moment, he was meditating in the rest area, with a glowing three-dimensional micro-sculpted landscape painting behind him, and a low table and incense burner in front of him, as well as a bottle of tea with flower petals soaking in it.
A black and red aura suddenly fell.
Xing Dian sensed something at this moment, opened his eyes and looked up, and saw the terrifying skull.
His whole body erupted with spirit energy, and he was about to get up and throw a punch, but the scene in his perception seemed to be in slow motion, and the skull suddenly swooped down, fiercely slamming towards Xing Dian's head.
Xing Dian briefly unleashed three waves of attacks: fist, mental shock, and spirit energy burst.
But except for the mental shock causing a slight ripple to the skull, the other two were completely ineffective, and the skull instantly drilled into Xing Dian's head.
Xing Dian's whole body trembled continuously, he lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face as pale as paper.
His body leaned back and was about to faint, but his strong will made him stubbornly resist closing his eyes directly, but instead grabbed a button next to him and pressed it.
The price for doing so was that blood flowed out of his nostrils and ear canals at the same time, and blood gushed out like a spring from the interface between his severed hand and leg and the mechanical prosthetic.
Alarm bells rang loudly outside the rest area, Xing Dian fell backward limply, the spirit energy in his body was in chaos, his three souls and seven spirits began to suffer the torment of the curse, and he himself began to fall into an endless nightmare, where the people he had killed would turn into evil ghosts seeking his life.
On the other side, Wang Ji Xuan was also spitting blood.
"Chief?"
"Brother Wang!"
"I'm fine, just a little backlash."
A wave of powerful fatigue surged into his heart, he gently shook his left wrist, took out two pills from the storage ring, lowered his head and put them into his mouth, and his complexion finally eased slightly.
Xing Dian's severed leg had already been burned into white bones by the blood fire.
This was only the second time Wang Ji Xuan had used the method of cursing. The first time was after he learned it, he casually took a notorious rogue cultivator and tried it out, and then he discovered that this thing not only had a large backlash and consumed a lot of energy, but was also too vicious and harmful to the harmony of nature.
The moment Xing Dian left his severed leg, he had actually decided that Xing Dian would have this ordeal today, it was just a matter of when Wang Ji Xuan would make up his mind.
Now that progress was blocked, Wang Ji Xuan had no choice but to make this decision. Making Xing Dian unconscious was also a necessary part of Wang Ji Xuan's plan.
"How magical," the Number Five Spirit Practitioner's eyes shone with light.
To be precise, it was the eyes of the body she controlled that shone.
"Can you teach me?"
"No."
"Oh, okay," the Number Five Spirit Practitioner didn't hide her disappointment, and then stared at Wang Ji Xuan's wrist, "How come you have so many things on you that interest me."
"I've already said, I'm a messenger from the Third Civilization. Your spirit slave system doesn't apply to me."
Wang Ji Xuan's complexion was rapidly recovering, and the spirit release array hidden inside the armor was rapidly releasing spirit energy.
He looked at the others and said solemnly:
"Xing Dian will be unconscious for at least three days from now on. The secret base will soon fall into chaos. I suggest that we retreat outside the town first to avoid being surrounded. Then, we need to hold a real war meeting."
Black Shell couldn't help but complain: "A real one… were the meetings we had before all fake?"
"At that time, we couldn't find a way to open Xing Dian's turtle shell, so we could only take it one step at a time. Now, I already have an idea."
Because Wang Daoshi had just cast an evil spell, his whole body was surrounded by a wisp of black and red aura, and there was even a faint shadow of a flood dragon on his shoulders.
He just smiled gently at this time, but in the eyes of others, it had a more sinister meaning.
"Isn't our goal to kill Xing Dian and steal the Number Five Spirit Practitioner's stone tablet?"
"Saying you're going to steal me in front of me," the Number Five Spirit Practitioner curled her lips, "Are you being polite, alien messenger?"
"This is also the game rule you set, alien visitor."
Wang Ji Xuan beckoned:
"Wu Man, come over and carry me down. Chant some Buddhist scriptures; I'm a little dizzy. Let's retreat to the underground passage quickly."
Everyone agreed and immediately began to act.
… …
Half an hour later.
The Peak Maid Corps, the Buddhist Hall Squad, and the Half-Human Mecha led by Black Shell, except for Ji Xiao and Ji Yale, who were still circling in the sky, reunited.
They were in the underground of Rainbow Town, near the place where Aunt Dragonfly had an accident.
In addition to their own people, a certain spirit practitioner was controlling the puppet she controlled and followed them, drifting in a fluttering and natural manner.
Wang Ji Xuan had almost recovered after taking a few pills.
Everyone turned on their lights in the dark passage, and two half-human mechs guarded the left and right. The meeting soon officially began.
As soon as Black Shell opened his mouth, everyone was a little surprised: "Everyone, don't stare at this stranger. She is a puppet controlled by the Number Five Spirit Practitioner."
Wang Ji Xuan said simply: "Aren't you going to introduce yourself?"
"Is it necessary?" The Number Five Spirit Practitioner looked at Wang Ji Xuan from beginning to end, "Some strange mechanical bodies, some spirit slaves that you have改造, and a few half-human mechs that have turned themselves into something that is neither human nor machine."
Black Shell glared and was about to curse.
Zheng Shiduo next to him quickly pulled on the head instructor of this half-human mecha.
Mu Dan replied in an elegant tone: "Indeed, even if the noble spirit practitioners have become losers of a failed civilization, they are still existences high above."
Everyone smiled at the same time.
Number Five Spirit Practitioner's face darkened, and she said coldly: "Aren't you afraid that I will directly notify them? Mechanical body?"
Mu Dan immediately looked wronged: "How can the noble you care about strange mechanical bodies? Wouldn't that lower your status?"
"Alright, alright," Wang Ji Xuan smoothed things over, "Don't quarrel."
He quietly gave Mu Dan a thumbs up.
Then, Wang Ji Xuan said, "However, I can answer Number Five's question just now."
"I'm not called Number Five; I have my own name!"
"Your name is?"
"Hmph."
Mu Dan: "Number Four said that her name is Wilhemina Tuck."
The Number Five Spirit Practitioner said incomprehensibly: "He even said my name? That old thing is really disgusting!"
Wang Ji Xuan: "Let's still call you Number Five… From now on, we are indeed not afraid of you tipping them off because I have already decided to directly bomb them with nuclear bombs."
Everyone was a little puzzled.
The ring on Wang Ji Xuan's wrist flashed, and a briefcase appeared in front of him.
"This is a portable nuclear bomb. I just calculated its explosion range, and it should be able to blast through the first area of the secret base, and the electromagnetic pulse generated by the reaction can also directly paralyze the electronic equipment in their base."
Black Shell frowned and said, "Didn't we discuss this before? Each area inside uses a single-channel series connection and has obvious protection against nuclear explosions."
Zheng Shiduo also said, "If this place is bombed, the D2 war zone will have to get involved whether they want to or not. We're in a dangerous place."
"That's right, that's the difficulty."
Wang Jixuan said:
"But the matter of Ji Xiao and Ji Yale reminds us that D2 doesn't actually want to be directly opposed to D5.
"Everyone, look, this is the internal structure of the secret base. This passage is the only entrance and exit, three kilometers long, deep into the mountain, and only one train can enter and exit.
"This is a huge tortoise shell, easy to defend and difficult to attack, full of traps. It was originally supposed to be where Xing Dian hid the Number Five Spiritual Cultivator stone slab wall."
Mudan displayed the map that Wang Jixuan had drawn in the mud.
Daoist Wang's voice became more cheerful:
"But similarly, the strongest design here is also the most fatal design. As long as we blow up their entrance and exit, won't they become turtles in a jar?"
Wu Man raised his hand and asked, "But if we do that, they just need to wait for support inside. The Six Elders of Spirit Energy City and the D2 Comprehensive War Zone will definitely come to rescue them."
"Play the time difference."
Wang Jixuan said:
"On the one hand, we must try to delay them as much as possible, and on the other hand, we must force the people inside to come out as soon as possible, preferably to make them send out Xing Dian and the Number Five Spiritual Cultivator's stone slab themselves."
"Ah," Zheng Shiduo asked softly, "How can we do that?"
Wang Jixuan smiled and said, "Use some secret means."
Black Shell's eyes lit up: "Poison gas! Use poison gas! Block them up!"
Zheng Shiduo retorted: "The key is, if the passage is blown up, how can we inject poison gas into it? That's three kilometers of mountain!"
"Actually, we don't need to."
Wang Jixuan could only explain simply:
"There are a large number of crystal cores stored inside the secret base. I'll use them to do some... small tricks. Don't worry about this part.
"Next, everyone listen to my command, don't ask too many questions, just execute the orders.
"The plan is divided into three parts. First, transport the nuclear bomb inside. Mudan and I are responsible for this.
"Second, snipe the Snow Mountain Base's support. The cyborg mechs are responsible for this.
"Third, snipe anyone trying to escape from the base. We can't rule out the possibility of other passages being created after the explosion. Instructor Black Shell, my wingman team is responsible.
"The Buddha Hall Squad is incomplete, so they will be used as an emergency force.
"Mudan, give out the terrain map, and I'll mark the points for everyone."
Everyone gathered around.
Black Shell stared at Wang Jixuan's profile. A text message popped up in the corner of his vision.
[Commander-in-Chief: Looking good.]
Black Shell smiled without saying a word, continuing to act like a naive old warrior, and listened carefully to Wang Jixuan's explanation of the battle plan.
Wang Jixuan's plan was actually very detailed.
Before blowing up the passage, they had to create the illusion that their army was pressing in. This could also be considered a two-pronged approach, playing a psychological warfare.
Ten minutes later, everyone traveled underground and on the surface at the same time, dispersing according to Wang Jixuan's arrangement.
Later, a large number of low-level spirit energy users and a large number of ordinary armed forces would be dispatched from the Snow Mountain Base and Rainbow Town. Dealing with them, the third-generation cyborg mechs only needed to activate kill mode, and there would be no pressure at all.
It just required some psychological overcoming.
Wang Jixuan and Mudan followed the underground passage network left by the Blade Beasts, heading straight for the end closest to Xing Dian's secret base under Rainbow Town.
Next, Mudan was responsible for receiving, and Wang Jixuan used his escape technique to sneak in. As long as he placed the nuclear bomb at the junction between Zone One of the secret base and the passage, it would be enough.
However, Wang Jixuan was planning that if he could remain undetected, he would take advantage of the chaos inside Xing Dian's secret base to steal more resources.
There were still a lot of research materials here, and Little Shen would definitely be interested in them.
"Chief, this is the end."
Mudan reminded softly.
Wang Jixuan stopped, and his spiritual sense looked at the only passage leading into the secret base diagonally above. The two were about 350 meters apart in a straight line.
Using the escape technique wouldn't be a big problem.
Daoist Wang swallowed a pill, wrapping it in magic power and placing it in his stomach. When he needed to use it later, he would untie the 'magic power capsule'.
He deftly replaced the crystal core of his X armor's release array module, took out the portable nuclear bomb, squatted down and operated it for a while.
Successful self-check, can be activated.
A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Jixuan's mouth, but then the smile froze, and he turned to look at the black butterfly stuck on the wall next to him.
"No," Wang Jixuan said puzzled, "Aren't you a referee?"
Peng.
The Number Five Spiritual Cultivator restored his puppet's human form and said leisurely, "Because I am a referee, I must see clearly what you are doing so that I can judge fairly."
"I think you just want to pry into my secrets."
"That's right, you have many interesting and mysterious things that can help me reach the pinnacle of power."
"You should return to your peak first."
Wang Jixuan put away the nuclear bomb, stood up and leaned against the arc-shaped stone wall, staring at the Number Five Spiritual Cultivator, his hands rapidly forming seals.
Then I'll show you more, so you have enough curiosity.
Universe Infinite, Let Me Roam, Escape!
