Chapter 124: Extreme Joy Turns to Sorrow
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, the experimental site erupted with dazzling brilliance, as the immense saintly pressure burst out from those mysterious Great Dao runes, aggressively oppressing Li Qingming.
"Think you can subdue me with sheer momentum? The one thing I, Daoist Li, am least afraid of is an attack on momentum!" Li Qingming's body trembled violently as the Nine Revolutions Mystical Technique instantly revved up to its utmost limit.
Golden runes, fierce images of a giant panda, and the intense fluctuations of the Law of Force... Almost in an instant, they broke free from his body, confronting the residual might left by the Holy Master.
"What a formidable physique!" Prince Sangla's eyes gleamed green. He licked his dry lips and said: "Kill him, kill him! I want to extract his blood, dissect his body... Such a perfect, fierce, and strong body should not belong to a mere native! He must die!"
"Leo, did you hear that?" Svik glanced at Leo and spoke indifferently.
"Yes, Count!" Leo nodded excitedly, once again mobilizing the pitiful bit of Primordial Power he had left and entered it without hesitation into the card slot.
"Di-di-di! Warning! Warning! Preparing to initiate maximum output power, please input the command code! Repeat, preparing…"
The cold electronic sound rang out. Like someone injected with chicken blood, Leo was excitedly flushed with his face red. He growled, "Damn it! I am the Tier-2 researcher Leo Slaka of Zone One, I command you to unleash the maximum output power!"
"Command code confirmed correct!"
"Swipe!"
A colossal screen materialized out of nowhere in the outer laboratory. It was virtual, flickering with bizarre runes continuously, as many light sources within the entire Pyramid Battleship lit up, channeling all the energy right into the laboratory.
"Energy sufficient! Countdown begins: ten, nine, eight… two, one…"
"Boom!"
Suddenly, almost all of the runes within the experimental field were activated. They interwove into numerous golden spiritual snakes, writhing relentlessly, brazenly exerting endless pressure as they wildly coiled toward Li Qingming.
"Damn it, so vicious!" Li Qingming desperately controlled the Qiankun Tripod of Hell, but these Golden Snakes were, after all, the transformation of the Saint's Tao Traces and still, some thick golden snakes shattered the light shield of the Qiankun Tripod, aiming directly at Li Qingming's body, attempting to draw his blood and rend his flesh.
Fortunately, his Nine Revolutions Mystical Technique was strong enough, and the Golden Snakes that pierced through the Qiankun Tripod had their might reduced by a great deal. They couldn't penetrate Li Qingming's skin and were instead casually slapped out by him.
"Damn it, thinking you can restrict all my actions just by trapping me here, really thinking I'm easy to bully?" Li Qingming was furious. He never had the habit of being treated like a lab rat.
A purple light flickered in his hand, and the Bitter Bamboo Spear appeared in his grasp in an instant.
"Break for me!" he roared, channeling all of the Yuqing True Essence and the Power of the Law of Force into the Bitter Bamboo Spear.
"Boom!"
Just how powerful was the Bitter Bamboo Spear drawing upon two profound forces?
Even Li Qingming himself might not be clear on that. Clutching the Bitter Bamboo Spear, he fiercely swirled his arm and stabbed hard at the crystal-clear, strange wall.
With just that one thrust, a dazzling purple light flashed by, and the experimental field, touted by Leo as so durable and formidable, was shattered to pieces and smashed to smithereens.
"Oh my god, how could this be possible!" Those people were suddenly shocked white, and our poor researcher Leo was struck in the heart and brain by the breaking and explosively flying debris, dead beyond doubt.
"Svik, Eliza, Thor... summon the Mechas, get up there and stop him!" Prince Sangla's body exuded a ring of golden radiance, as he raised his staff and fired a beam of golden light at Li Qingming, then soared into the air, hastily heading towards the upper floors.
"Dang!"
Li Qingming discerned that this fellow was the leader of the spacecraft, poised to pursue him, but a wave of golden light came flying towards him. Frowning, Li Qingming instantly raised his Bitter Bamboo Spear to meet the golden light, and impaled it, shattering it to pieces.
In that brief instant, Prince Sangla vanished into the spatial crevice of this layer.
"Your Highness!"
The handsome Svik, the stunning Eliza, and another handsome young man named Thor who had been hastily conscripted, now felt like they wanted to die.
"Get out of the way!" Li Qingming glanced coldly at the trio and was about to fly past them in pursuit of the fleeing Prince Sangla.
"No, we must stop him! If Prince Sangla dies, we and our families will all be killed!" Svik froze for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and roared at the other two.
"Buzz!"
A shimmering golden radiance lit up, and Svik's armor instantaneously transformed, reassembling into pieces of armor that covered him and turned him into another Mecha Warrior.
"Whoosh!"
Svik drew the longsword at his mecha's waist and mindlessly slashed at Li Qingming.
"Hmph, insignificant ant!" Li Qingming glanced coldly at the onrushing Svik, thrusting and retracting his Bitter Bamboo Spear, the shiny golden mecha was punctured with a large hole, blood gushing out as if it cost nothing.
"Get lost!" Li Qingming lightly flicked his long spear, flinging Svik away.
"Boom!"
The mecha-armored Svik was about thirty feet tall and weighed up to two thousand kilograms. He crashed to the ground not far away, shaking the entire Pyramid.
"What, a mecha forged from a variety of top-quality refining materials, was pierced through by his seemingly casual spear! He is, he's simply too terrifying!"
Eliza and Thor were so shocked that their mouths could have swallowed an ostrich egg. They both were well aware of the mecha's various refining materials and capabilities!
Talking about Svik's Type-A mecha alone, anyone wearing it could exert the power of a Quasi-Saint Peak.
Yet such a powerful mecha was effortlessly picked off by his spear.
Svik, who fell to the ground, was not dead. He struggled to stand up, but the pain in his abdomen told him not to resist in vain.
Eliza and Thor nervously stood in front of Li Qingming, trying to block his path.
"Do you want to try as well?" Li Qingming coldly eyed Eliza and Thor, his piercing gaze making them tremble.
"You, you can't go over there!" The two watched Li Qingming nervously, refusing to step back.
"Hmph, then prepare to die!" Li Qingming had no mercy in his heart, raising his long spear and thrusting it downward quickly.
"Ding!"
Suddenly, a light ringing sound came, with a glint of twinkling starlight resisting beneath Li Qingming's long spear, blocking the attack.
