Chapter 568: Chapter 259: Old Tao VS Old Deng_2

"How should I make my move? He still has quite a number of Spirit Slaves."

"No worries," Wang Jixuan was already planning the War Puppet’s route in his mind, "I’ll stuff a suitcase in the spire first."

"A suitcase... You mean a big bomb?"

No. 5 exclaimed:

"Each of us has our own spire, a rare treasure trove, and you’re not even tempted?"

"If we can’t kill the enemy, no matter how many treasures there are, they mean nothing to us, right?"

Wang Jixuan said with a smile.

Then, the round ring called ’Evil’ on the War Puppet’s wrist emitted a faint glow, and the War Puppet lifted a suitcase with its hand.

The third suitcase can be left for Meng Jin and the others.

However, Meng Jin and the others were in a very remote rock crack, making the terrain extremely defensible, tough to attack, and guarded by an SS-level Spiritual Ability User, making it hard to approach them.

The War Puppet was carrying a portable tactical nuclear bomb;

Wang Jixuan carefully considered his battle plans;

He needed some cover, to lure Meng Jin and his people out actively, so he could seize the initiative.

This cover...

Got it.

There was no need for the War Puppet to transmit the signal from afar; Wang Jixuan had the War Puppet close its eyes, shifted his mind to his main body, and let Mu Dan quickly contact the rear command center.

...

With the power borrowed from Elder Feng, Meng Jin was somewhat shocked by the number of ’Dehydrated’ Spiritual Ability Users in the Spirit Cultivator’s Spire.

If all these Spiritual Ability Users could be activated!

If this power could be under his control!

The Spiritual Ability Users in the spire were basically high-level, the accumulation of a Spirit Cultivator, and their weapon against the Blade Beast Tide!

"Elder Feng, if we can snatch the Core Circuits, would these Spiritual Ability Users obey us?"

"They would."

The SS-level Elder Feng chuckled and transmitted his voice:

"I’ve heard something.

"Spirit Cultivators are human, but they are humans chosen by the Core Circuits, essentially they should be hosts of the Core Circuits.

"Core Circuits correspond to individual Spiritual Energy Circuits. The infusion ceremony allows humans to inherit the Spiritual Energy Circuits. Successful inheritance makes one a Spiritual Ability User, and the advancement of a Spiritual Ability User is the refinement and upgrade of the Spiritual Energy Circuit."

"I’ve heard this too," Meng Jin said in a deep voice.

He slightly flickered his gaze, gazing toward the spire’s location, and constantly pondering in his heart.

How could he obtain the Core Circuits?

The Black Storm should have reached here by now; what methods would they use?

If Black Storm chose to proceed steadily, advancing step by step and dispelling the black Qi, then there would be no need to think much, simply retreating would be the wise decision.

The terrain was against them;

The D2 Combined Combat Zone had re-selected their camp;

No one could ignore the wave of ’Unknown Combat Department’ missile salvos.

Meng Jin said: "Wait for the opportunity."

As soon as he finished speaking, the ’opportunity’ came.

A large wave of Blade Beasts pressed near the Snow Mountain Base, several dozen Spirit Slaves barely completed ’charging’ and rushed to meet the Blade Beasts, the two sides engaging in a grand battle in the deep underground tunnels.

At that moment, strong Spiritual Energy erupted from Rainbow Town underground, beams of golden light suddenly blossomed, and the chanting spread across a dozen kilometers.

Certainly, the chanting reached Meng Jin’s ears.

"They’ve started dealing with these black Qi!"

"This dark energy presumably created by Black Storm, it’s no surprise he has a means to counter it."

"Boss, what should we do?"

"Prepare to retreat," Meng Jin laughed, "D2 will inevitably face retaliation from the Six Elders. Then we will settle scores with D2’s military high command."

Everyone nodded, and as the middle-aged man titled Sha Xingzun was about to act, Meng Jin suddenly raised his hand, signaling to stop.

The earth kept vibrating;

Explosions drew nearer;

A swarm of Drilling Missiles!

Meng Jin and his team immediately hid in a more remote corner, the continuous sounds of explosions and the seemingly closer chanting surrounded them.

Meng Jin’s eyes showed a slight hint of reluctance.

His subordinates chatted casually.

"They certainly paid a high price. Using Drilling Missiles like this? Aren’t they extremely costly to produce?"

"The majority of precision instruments are incredibly expensive when including research costs. The more units produced, the more diluted the research costs. These should be Drilling Missiles supported by D5."

"They seem to have drilled through!"

BOOM!

The rock crack constantly shook, the high-performance underground combat systems exploded, transferring shockwaves through solid materials affecting everyone;

Without causing any injuries.

The chanting grew closer.

Suddenly;

The spire’s top floor exploded with thick black and red Qi, Meng Jin and his team heard Old Sophie’s roar:

"Bastards! It’s you! I’ve been hiding here, far away from you!"

"Black Storm! I’ll kill you! Kill you!"

The black-red Qi erupted, instantly suppressing the chanting, and wailing and crying echoed everywhere.

The eerie wind howled, wails filled the air.

Another dozen ’mummies’ rushed toward the narrow passage opened by the Drilling Missiles.

Within minutes, golden light erupted, seven or eight figures simultaneously retreated to the surface, one middle-aged man shouted:

"Hurts like hell! Hahaha! Awesome! These Spirit Slaves are fantastic! Lead them up and finish them off!"

A burly man behind Meng Jin whispered: "I’ve heard this voice in intelligence videos, it’s associated with Black Storm, named Zheng Shiduo, a frontline C-level Spiritual Ability User, but seems his power has significantly increased."

Meng Jin squinted his eyes.

This was an opportunity;

With a bit of risk, they could finish off the remaining Spirit Slaves. Those Spirit Slaves hadn’t completed charging, Elder Feng could directly capture the No. 4 Spirit Cultivator...

As Meng Jin was about to give the order, a missile drilled through the rock layer above the spire, its head split open, revealing a small tactical nuclear warhead glowing red.

BZZZT—BOOM!

A sun appeared in the underground cavity of the spire’s location.

Meng Jin and his team were actually relatively far, separated by dense, thick rock layers, and protected by their deep Spiritual Energy, yet still got burned, feeling various discomforts.

But!

It’s now!

Without hesitation, Meng Jin’s body emanated golden light, swelling his physique, ripping open the seams of his suit.

He punched forward, enveloping his teammates in golden light, shielding them from radiation and high temperatures, and dashed out!

"Top floor of the spire! Secure the stone coffin! Quick!"

This was the opportunity!

The perfect timing to make their move!

Near the No. 4 Spirit Cultivator’s spire, there was no protective force left, only the uncertain No. 4 Spirit Cultivator, and D5’s team would take time to descend.

And this was enough for them to grab the stone coffin and leave!

The admiration in Elder Feng’s eyes turned into intense praise.

The old man felt so proud right now.

Meng Jin’s lineage must have the genes of the Old Feng Family, though such matters were kept secret, revealing them might infuriate one of the Six Elders.

But look at Meng Jin’s decisive action, bold character, precise timing grasp, far surpassing these old codgers.

Elder Feng leisurely followed these shadows, formulating his compliments for Meng Jin, while observing the No. 4 Spirit Cultivator’s reactions, his eyelid twitched slightly.

Something was off.

Elder Feng’s expression turned serious, he thrust his hands forward, attempting to pull Meng Jin and his team back from the spire’s upper cavity.

In a dark corner, the rock layers showed water-like ripples, an arm popped out, tossing a black suitcase toward the gap between Meng Jin and the top floor of the spire.

Trouble!

Elder Feng disregarded anything else, yanked his hands backward, forcibly activated his abilities, making Meng Jin and his five subordinates retreat, as Elder Feng unleashed his strongest defensive power, pulling the six of them back instantly by a hundred meters.

But others weren’t so lucky.

BZZZT—

A second sun again lit up!

With the dense rock layers no longer blocking the radiation, Elder Feng and others directly exposed to the small sun’s light, once more its underground cavity filled with brightness.

From the rock walls, Daoist Wang squinted slightly.

Did they escape?

Though, this explosion seemed to have pushed Old Sophie’s stone coffin open, the SS-level old man and Meng Jin’s team inevitably suffered injuries, and to resist the high heat, radiation, and shock, their Spiritual Energy depletion was enormous.

Shame, if the old man hadn’t reacted so quickly, this trap could have wiped them all out.

No matter.

The War Puppet slightly flicked its wrist, holding a long sword, a short-haired yellow-haired loli stood within the rock crack.

"I’ll kill, you get the Core Circuits."

"Eh?" No.5 blinked, "You’re not afraid I’ll keep it for myself?"

"That thing is useless to me."

The War Puppet of Wang Jixuan chuckled lightly, activated the full-cover armor shield, opening his left hand, raising it overhead.

All Demons Return to the Sect!

The Demonic Qi in this place surged toward him!

Last time, did you fools surround this poor Daoist?
