#360 - Don't come over here!
"Huh?"
"Honey? Darling?"
In the fighter cockpit, Ling Tong, who had finished a simple bandage on her wound, slumped in the pilot's seat.
Had she just heard something?
In Ling Tong's memory, Wang Jixuan had always been a rather conservative person, calling her either 'Huh' or 'Hey', at most saying 'Commander' once or twice during those times, which was already giving her some emotional value.
It seemed he had never directly called her... darling or anything like that.
Ling Tong covered her wound and switched the fighter to automatic mode, with Mudan already providing remote escort.
Greetings sounded in the communication channel, along with the doubts and confused remarks from Zheng Shiduo and the others.
"Ling Tong, are you alright, Big Sis?"
"Ling Tong, how did you get hurt?"
"Was that Brother Wang talking just now? Is Brother Wang awake?"
"Oh my, calling her 'darling' on the public channel, aren't they even trying to hide it anymore!"
"What era is this? What's wrong with calling her 'darling'? It's not like he's calling you big manly men 'darling'."
"If it were our Storm Boss, it wouldn't be bad either."
"Get lost!" Zheng Shiduo scolded with a laugh, "Brother Wang belongs to Big Sis Ling Tong! Even if Brother Wang were to cheat, there would be a whole bunch of beauties lining up, and it wouldn't have anything to do with you guys."
"Are you implying something?"
"I think Old Zheng is implying something."
Wu Man's somewhat weak voice came through: "Stop chatting, the danger hasn't been lifted yet. Squad, return to formation, recover your spiritual energy as soon as possible, and follow up from behind."
Zheng Shiduo and the others immediately agreed.
Ji Xiaoxin said with lingering fear: "Let's hope we're just having a false alarm today."
"If we're having a false alarm, the Blade Beasts are in for a rough time."
"When my Brother Wang gets angry, all these Blade Beasts are going to kick the bucket! Brother Wang is the most awesome in the universe!"
Buzz.
Ling Tong raised her hand and pressed the button, cutting off the communication.
She gently exhaled a breath of stale air and leaned back in her chair, closing her eyes for a short rest, only now feeling the pain in her body.
"Mudan, is he really alright?"
"Well... according to the brainwave readings, the Commander has suddenly entered a completely new frequency, very stable, but between calm and excitement... I have never captured a similar frequency in humans, not even in the few spiritual cultivators I've been in close contact with."
Mudan's voice even carried a hint of excitement:
"The Commander has evolved!"
"Uh, although using the word 'evolved' might not be accurate enough, that's probably what's happening."
"But strangely, the Commander's spiritual energy hasn't changed significantly this time. The increase in quantity is also the power gradually absorbed during the battle with the Blade Beasts, and there's no change in quality."
"In the past, every time the Commander improved his strength, both quality and quantity would increase simultaneously."
"Hmm..."
Ling Tong turned her head to look down, in the direction where Wang Jixuan was currently attacking the Blade Beast nest.
"Help me coordinate a medical team, I need to get back as soon as possible."
"Alright."
Mudan's voice was quite relaxed.
Unless Mudan said it, no one else would know that when she previously stood with her arms outstretched in front of Wang Jixuan's path, she actually felt a brand new emotion in her heart.
It was fear;
A fear similar to that of a living being.
Mudan's current mood was relief after surviving a disaster, and she was quite happy.
...
Wang Jixuan finally understood what it meant to be 'three points weaker after turning good, but invincible after turning evil'.
He comprehended the Dao Profound Mind Realm from the state of being controlled by demonic thoughts, and then took control of the demonic thoughts. He himself was actually no different from before. The demonic energy was still increasing, and the mana in his body was also surging.
But his efficiency in clearing out Blade Beasts was a notch lower than before.
About twenty percent lower!
Of course, compared to before, Wang Jixuan was now consciously digging out the crystal cores of General-level and above Blade Beasts while slaughtering them, and taking away some rare spiritual materials that he happened to encounter.
Before, it was pure slaughter;
Now it was a bit like robbing a house.
Of course, there was also a benefit: Wang Jixuan's storage treasures were rapidly filling up.
He thought slightly, killed his way through this nest, and then began to consciously use demonic energy to drive a portion of the Blade Beast swarm, letting them flee towards the next Blade Beast nest.
He chased after them, the demonic energy still expanding rapidly, and the feeling of bloating in his body had begun to turn into a throbbing pain.
The opportunity was rare.
Kill if he must!
Wang Jixuan began to alternately hold the magic weapon longsword and spear in his hand, consciously releasing his spiritual sense to cover the road ahead, to avoid being trapped.
But now, who could approach him, covered in demonic energy?
In fact, Wang Jixuan had already heard the Blade Beasts strengthening their defenses near the sleeping Pillar Blade Beast.
This was clearly still very far away from the sleeping Pillar Blade Beast.
Attack it?
Then attack it!
Wang Jixuan charged forward with his spear, swept across with his sword, demonic energy raged, and the Demon Subduing Formation. In this dense underground passage, he forcefully carved out a bloody path, aiming at the approximate location of the Pillar Blade Beast, stopping to destroy any Blade Beast nests he encountered, and if he couldn't find a Blade Beast nest, he would turn halfway to kill the nearest sub-King-level Blade Beast.
The human monitoring system for the Blade Beasts had a huge world map covered in red dots.
At this moment, on this map, which was updated every minute based on real-time satellite data, a clear white path with few remaining red dots was slowly spreading forward.
Like a storm passing through.
[The Black Storm is charging towards the Seventh Pillar].
This news quickly spread within the human military.
They were in high spirits.
At the same time, this news naturally also reached the network of the Garinos. In the communication network of the seven Garinos that were left, the Garinos were also urgently discussing countermeasures.
The Black Storm that was attacking again;
The unstoppable demonic energy;
The extremely difficult to restrain escape technique.
In the Blade Beast civilization's short history of several hundred years of development, they had often been constantly evolving to target powerful races. This wave of Blade Beasts on Earth had also undergone varying degrees of physical mutations to target the attack methods of human mechanical civilization.
But facing Wang Jixuan's methods...
They really didn't know how to strengthen their souls, or how to counteract the erosion of that demonic energy on the Blade Beast souls.
The previous Black Storm, even if its skills were 'strange' and its methods were varied, its own physical strength was at least limited. A King-level Blade Beast swarm could at least exhaust him to death.
But today;
The Black Storm had really become a Black Storm;
Endless endurance, directly plundering souls, able to destroy a King-level Blade Beast nest in ten minutes.
For a time, they were actually at a loss.
The four Pillar Blade Beasts that could move normally, the Garinos didn't dare to give any attack orders;
The 'Cloak Garino' inside the Pillar Blade Beast, which was their Beast God, had also sensed the terror of that black energy through the King-level Blade Beast.
They were also avoiding it.
Avoiding this completely unresolvable threat.
Now, the Black Storm was even directly attacking the Pillar Blade Beast closest to him...
[Awaken the Beast God, my lord];
[Awaken the Beast God, my lord];
[There isn't enough time];
[There isn't enough time]...
They communicated rapidly, and in the end, they could only use a stupid method.
Fight a war of attrition with the Black Storm.
The Garinos jointly issued an order, and the Blade Beast swarms on Wang Jixuan's path began to devour each other.
Low-level Blade Beasts devoured each other to become mid-level, and mid-level Blade Beasts devoured each other to give birth to high-level...
Soon, on Wang Jixuan's path, there were batches of terminal-level basic Blade Beasts that could fly in space and had gold patterns mixed into their exoskeletons.
They frantically launched attacks on Wang Jixuan;
This had an effect.
Wang Jixuan's speed of advance began to slow down, because the Blade Beasts that he had previously killed with a stream of demonic energy now required seven or eight streams of demonic energy to repeatedly wash over;
After the Blade Beast density dropped sharply, the spiritual power and soul power that his demonic energy brought back decreased, and his own mana, which had already reached nearly 300%, began to decrease.
The balance point between slaughter and plunder had shifted.
Just as the Garinos were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the situation changed.
Wang Jixuan, realizing that the Blade Beasts had changed their strategy, sneered slightly, and his figure suddenly turned, directly moving away from the trajectory he had been charging along.
Originally he was going straight, but now he began to move in a 'zigzag' trajectory, drawing zigzags with a diameter of over three hundred kilometers on the ground.
Although his speed of advance had decreased, his killing efficiency against the Blade Beasts had increased again.
And he was still steadily approaching the sleeping Seventh Pillar.
The Garinos had no choice but to activate the sacrifice ceremony near the Seventh Pillar, with large numbers of Blade Beasts sacrificing themselves, turning into spiritual energy for the Seventh Pillar to resist its own sleep circuit.
The awakening level of the Seventh Pillar began to skyrocket!
Because Wang Jixuan was moving in a [zigzag], the efficiency of straight-line advance had decreased, and the Seventh Pillar had a degree of awakening.
The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ is ⊥ at ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!
After detailed calculations by the human supercomputer cluster, when Wang Jixuan rushed in front of it, it should already be able to awaken ninety percent to ninety-two percent.
Wang Jixuan naturally received this prediction.
He was not in a hurry at all at this moment;
He was waiting for the Seventh Pillar to awaken.
Last time he failed to personally kill that Cloak Garino, and Taoist Wang deeply regretted it.
As for whether his pressure would cause all the sleeping Pillar Blade Beasts to begin to awaken and start a war of annihilation against humans in advance...
What did it matter to him?
Exorcising demons was just a casual act, and killing beasts was just following his heart.
Just kill!
Kill until the world is turned upside down before talking about anything else!
The Great Dao is inherently unjust, and mediocre people make trouble for themselves.
Wang Jixuan's figure swayed, and suddenly he used the Lotus Stepping Sword Song that he liked the most in his previous life.
Amidst the billowing black mist, pristine white lotuses bloomed beneath Wang Jixuan's feet, his countenance refined and ethereal, unlike anything mortal.
Of course;
Daoist Wang's aura suddenly diminished by three inches.
The foundation of his Dao body was still insufficient; he would have to take it easy later, unable to truly fight to the death, and also be careful not to let the demonic energy shatter his Dao body.
As for whether his Dao realm would be damaged, he was not concerned at all at this moment.
The various insights arising in his heart at this moment were simply wonderful beyond words, his original heart pure and devoid of anything but thoughts of one or two beautiful women.
… …
"He actually transformed."
Nierda Harmon sat at the bow of the wooden boat, arms crossed, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
"Transformed?"
Sabina was puzzled:
"Has his power changed? Why didn't I sense it?"
"Not power, but mentality."
Nierda Harmon explained simply:
"In my eyes, the original Black Storm was actually inferior to Fu Jian; the Black Storm lacked the heart of a strong person and was prone to being indecisive."
"He didn't belong to this civilization, yet he always adorned those responsibilities as beautiful garments, wearing them on himself."
"But now he seems to have suddenly awakened."
"His pursuit should be his own transcendence; the life and death of civilization should not be a matter of concern to him… I can roughly understand him."
"When he breaks free from his own shackles, the path of a true strongman will also open its doors to him."
"A strongman should not have weaknesses."
Sabina shook her head gently: "I still don't believe he can let go of the humans here."
"Letting go is because of compassion, not because of responsibility."
Nierda Harmon said:
"I hadn't paid attention to him before, but I believe he should have had a process of integrating into the current human society."
"It's just that after he integrated, he gradually became unable to break away."
"So when he faced us, I could feel that he was both powerful and weak, but he himself was completely unaware."
"And now?"
"He is qualified to be my strong enemy," Nierda Harmon's eyes gained a bit of excitement, and he casually grabbed a beautiful bottle from a vortex that appeared beside him.
Inside was something similar to liquor, which could temporarily numb the core circuits of a spiritual cultivator.
Sabina hesitated, turning her head to look at Gari喏 hanging below the wooden boat.
"How to deal with it?"
"Give it to the Black Storm as a gift; we are now partners."
Nierda Harmon breathed lightly:
"Killing Gari喏 will only allow its consciousness to move away, it's better to keep it sealed and suppressed forever."
"Okay," Sabina nodded, a bit of contemplation in her eyes.
At the same time;
In a canyon far from the battlefield.
A surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted, enveloping Amina's figure.
She spun around a few times awkwardly in the air, barely stabilizing her figure and standing in the air, a hint of annoyance and shock in her eyes.
Amina was about to rush back, but then she thought of something and restrained her impulsive actions.
She already roughly knew what was going on;
That despicable guardian of the ancient civilization schemed against Wang Zheng!
Damn it!
Knowing that the other party harbored ill intentions, she still failed to prepare…
That's not right either, Cloud City – that ancient civilization relic has incredible power, where Gao Huating's past life remnant spirit is invincible.
What's called the method of saving the Black Storm is to let Gao Huating combine with the Black Storm, let Gao Huating take away the Black Storm's mana, and also become a cultivator.
Hmph!
She also wants to become a cultivator!
Of course, it's to become a cultivator by using the Black Storm to teach cultivation methods! Naturally, there is no intention to do anything to the Black Storm's body.
"Must contact them quickly."
"If there's really no way, in order to save Wang Zheng, Xiao Huating can only take advantage."
"Where's my communicator… Damn, subspace is being interfered with, unable to open the stone tablet for now."
Amina transformed into a small figure with a puff sound, flying anxiously towards the sky.
—Her information is lagging, completely unaware that Wang Jixuan has now entered a completely new state.
She was just about to rush to the nearest human fortress when she suddenly saw the anomalies in the sky.
There, a giant beast was awakening, the earth constantly shaking, and dazzling pillars of light emerged from the fissures, with spiritual energy from the surface and shallow strata frantically converging towards the source of the light pillars.
Pillar Awakening!
Goo, goo goo!
Huh?
Amina suddenly heard the urgent shouts coming from the source of that powerful spiritual energy.
The caller was that awakened Pillar Blade Beast;
Using widespread spiritual energy vibration for transmission, and the standard language of their spiritual cultivation civilization;
And this shout, translated into the language of the local human civilization, should be…
"Don't come over here!"
