Chapter 2948 - : Shameless and Shameless…
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The sharp question rendered Lu Qingchen speechless for a moment. His two blades were shivering like vipers, but he could not make up his mind how to deal with the dark beast that he had released in person.
"What's wrong, dear nephew Lu? You can't answer?"
The mental devil was even more rampant. It burst into laughter and said, "What's so great about you controlling the fleet of the Fuxis? After I absorb all your data, I will naturally be granted the corresponding permissions. Also, I will be able to learn all your abilities in refining the brain virus, including
the hundreds of thousands of years of knowledge left by the Fuxis. Tsk tsk tsk. It seems that you and the Fuxis have both suffered heavy losses, and I will benefit from it in the end. Thank you for your kindness, Nephew Lu!"
""You—"
Lu Qingchen's face was pale. He gnashed his teeth.
"Forget it. 'm not going to play the cat-and-mouse game with you anymore. Even if you can come up with an undeniable reason, I don't need to keep you here."
The mental devil gnashed its teeth and said casually, "You are too dangerous and might bite back at any moment. 'Human beings will never be slaves' is what you said to the Fuxis just now. Who knows whether or not I will end up like the Fuxis after I keep you here?
"You don't need to swear to the heavens that I am not the soft-hearted Li Yao who cannot bear the sight of blood. I am the Li Yao who knows the darkness of the universe and the truth of human nature. I am the Li Yao who is stronger and has no weakness! Right now, I can clearly see that a fatal chain of
suspicion is tied between you and me. It is either you die or I die. Otherwise, there is no way that I can cut it off!"
While he was talking, the mental devil shook the tentacles all over its body. Every sucker expanded and opened, revealing countless coldly-shining, circular teeth that slithered toward Lu Qingchen.
"Wait. Wait
Lu Qingchen felt cold all over his body and finally took half a step back.
"Huh?"
The mental devil was more and more brutal, but its laughter was more and more mocking. "Why? Are you scared? Do you regret it? It's too late! You don't have to struggle, either. There's no need for you to struggle at all. You said that Li Yao was bluffing just now. But in my opinion, you are the one who is
bluffing. What kind of tremendous treasure is the data, information, and thinking logic that the Fuxis have accumulated for hundreds of thousands of years? How can you digest it all in such a short time?
"Mn less than ten days, you've been seriously wounded by the self-detonation of your soul twice, and you've just gone through the mysterious rebirth. Although your upper limit has been significantly improved, your combat ability right now is definitely not at its peak, is it?
"Hehe. Right now, you are like a patient who has just recovered from a serious injury. Your limbs and bones are still weak, and you've eaten food that is hundreds of times heavier than yourself because of your craving for food. Of course, as long as you digest the food and nourish your nerves, veins, bones,
and muscles with its nutrition, you will become a giant that can topple mountains and overturn seas. But do you think that I'm stupid enough to be intimidated by the fancy sound and light effects that you created on purpose and give you time to 'digest the Fuxi'?
"So—
"Don't resist, Nephew Lu. Come on. Be good and be eaten by Uncle Li. Hahahaha!"
The mental devil's crazy laughter raised a tsunami.
The ocean of data that had been at Lu Qingchen's mercy a moment ago was immediately frozen. The entire virtual space was shivering in the roars and agitation of the mental devil.
The mental devil was not bluffing or threatening him. Hardly had it finished its sentence when it crouched and dashed out like a lightning toward Lu Qingchen.
The bloody mouth was opened as wide as possible, as if the front half of the body had been split apart like a chrysanthemum. If half of the virtual space was swallowed, not even the bones would be left.
Seeing that the mental devil was coming close, Lu Qingchen was even more bewildered. He seemed to have forgotten how to react for a moment and simply stood there in a daze.
Seeing that the dozens of rows of sharp teeth inside the mental devil's mouth were spinning rapidly like a crusher, and that every bit of Lu Qingchen's life information and every scrap of his soul was about to be torn into pieces, an earsplitting explosion suddenly burst out from the depths of the mental
devil's throat. A golden fireball exploded and blew the mental devil away, brushing past Lu Qingchen.
'When they were closest, there was only a hair, no, a character, between them.
"AHHHHHHH"
The mental devil screamed in pain and fury. Gold smoke was spurting out of the gaps between its teeth.
The smoke grew longer and longer in midair, before it turned into almost a hundred streaks of gold brightness that interweaved into a glittering giant net and dragged the enormous and ugly body of the mental devil. The force was so immense that the gold brightness pierced into the body of the mental
devil and dug out black mud.
"Qingchen, run while I have the last bit of strength to control it!"
The giant golden net turned out to be Li Yao, a small earthworm. The high-intensity soul burning put Li Yao on the verge of death, too. He revealed his head in front of the giant golden net and shouted at Lu Qingchen desperately, "Run! We'll fight for the ultimate path later. Right now, before I die, run!
Run! Run now!"
"You want to run away? Not so fast! Last time, when I swallowed the soul fragment of you as a 'Nether World Devil', my Cultivation soared and evolved to an unbelievable new level. This time, after I absorb all your remaining life information, what kind of amazing changes will happen? I'm really looking
forward to it. Hahahaha. Hehehehehe!"
The mental devil cackled. The body embedded in the golden net suddenly expanded. The black venom and the bloody mist that it spurted out corroded the golden net like acid.
"Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa!" Amidst Li Yao's blood-curdling screams, the golden net broke apart inch by inch. It was as if a small earthworm that had been stretched to the limit had been slashed into over a hundred pieces. "Tragic" was not enough to describe it!
"Qingchen, I can only… help you… to… this…"
Countless scraps of Li Yao's soul smiled feebly.
In the next second, they were swallowed by the soaring flames of the mental devil.
The mental devil was not satisfied after swallowing Li Yao. Instead, its hunger was aroused, and it charged at Lu Qingchen a hundred times faster than before like burning black magma.
Lu Qingchen had witnessed the formidability and horror of the mental devil with his own eyes. Logically speaking, as long as he still had the last bit of rationality, he should flee and make plans.
But he seemed to have been scared out of his wits. His face was gloomy, his eyes were blinking, and his lips and the corners of his eyes were twitching. The billions of thoughts that constituted the giant of light were flickering and changing into thousands of colors and patterns.
'When the mental devil accelerated to the maximum speed and could not turn back anymore, Lu Qingchen finally made up his mind.
Not only did he not run away, he even condensed all the streaks of brightness around him into an unstoppable blade!
"ant"
Inside the light blade, Lu Qingchen's eyes were bloodshot, revealing the craziness of the last gamble!
"Huh?"
In the middle of the black streaks of brightness made of the bloody heart, a shocked scream echoed, which was completely different from the rampant, brutal, and dominating voice just now.
BOOM!
Two clusters of information streams that seemed to be equally powerful crashed into each other brutally, resulting in a blast that enveloped the entire virtual space. Then, they were separated by the surging blast.
'When the swirl calmed down and everything was settled, the mental devil was still occupying the center of the ocean of data like a glutton, and Lu Qingchen turned from a blade of light into a giant of light again.
At first glance, the two 'Unparalleled Devil Lords' did not seem to have changed at all. They were merely exchanging positions.
Moreover, Lu Qingchen's soul had been seriously damaged. Not only was his body size much smaller, even his flames were much dimmer, too. He seemed to have suffered a great loss.
But Lu Qingchen's lips curled into a vague smile, while the Taotie-like mental devil was… shivering.
"Chi
The mental devil tried its best to maintain its arrogant and brutal appearance, but it could not hold on for more than three seconds. The sucking discs and wrinkles all over its body were spurting out useless garbage data, which was shrivelling and shrinking like a deflating ball. It was even rolling in the
ocean of data because of the counterforce.
God knows how much garbage data this guy had stuffed into the framework of his own soul. He was simply a straw bag with a stomach full of straw. When all the garbage data had been spat out, this guy had shrunk to the size of Li Yao a moment ago. Where was the imposing aura of a Taotie, a prehistoric
behemoth, a nightmare beast, and a Dark Lord?
No. It was not 'almost. It was more like a mirror. Right now, it was bouncing in front of Lu Qingchen's eyes and twisting into two earthworms, one gold and the other red. The two earthworms were both waving their sparse flagella and looking at him innocently. Although their faces were gone, they were
still smiling in embarrassment and flattery.
Everything was clear now.
It was true that Lu Qingchen had not fully recovered from the damage caused by the self-detonation of his soul. Having just been reborn, he was like a newborn baby who had swallowed 'food' that far exceeded the limits of his digestion. Naturally, he could not bring out his full combat ability and had to
resort to the dazzling effects of sound and electricity to bluff.
However, no matter how much he bluffed, there was still a limit. At most, he could only boast of 30% of his strength. In other words, even if he completely leaned towards the dark side, Lu Qingchen still had a bottom line. He needed some face.
The other two—Li Yao and the mental devil—were utterly shameless..
