Chapter 1894: Chapter 1890: Even If You Steal It, You Can’t Get Out
"I also don’t know the principle, but now Bai Shengqi has fused with the ancient poison crystal core, and it seems his body both exists and doesn’t exist..."
Zhuge Guang replied helplessly; it was the first time he encountered such a situation.
"Your attacks have no effect on me; unfortunately, I can’t actively harm living beings. Otherwise, killing you all would be easy."
After his energy ball failed, Bai Shengqi simply stood there, neither dodging nor moving.
"How the hell are we supposed to fight like this?"
Tang Ming and Jin Zi were both at a loss.
"Let me try."
Just as everyone was at their wits’ end, Hua Yingjie suddenly shouted, "Find a way to let me touch his body; only I can separate Bai Shengqi from the ancient poison crystal core."
"Oh right! How could I forget about you."
Tang Ming was enlightened and immediately ran toward Hua Yingjie.
"You are my only weakness."
Bai Shengqi looked coldly at Hua Yingjie and suddenly raised his hand to summon a black energy python, which charged at Hua Yingjie with its mouth wide open.
"Not a chance."
Zhuge Guang laughed coldly, changing hand seals with his right hand, enveloping Hua Yingjie in a rising mist, and then he disappeared.
"Gone?"
Bai Shengqi was slightly taken aback and then angrily shouted, "You Huaxia cultivators are truly detestable; last time, I was sealed here by your endless means. If I manage to leave this place, I’ll kill all of you."
"We’ll talk about it if you ever manage to leave."
Zhuge Guang smiled oddly, and Tang Ming and Jin Zi immediately resumed their attack from the front.
"It’s useless; your attacks have no effect on me at all."
Bai Shengqi mocked disdainfully.
"What about me?"
At this moment, Hua Yingjie suddenly appeared behind Bai Shengqi, with his hands fiercely thrust into the ancient poison crystal armor on his body.
"When did you get here?"
Bai Shengqi exclaimed in surprise, only to find his arms firmly grabbed by Hua Yingjie.
"Brothers, help me out."
Hua Yingjie shouted excitedly.
"Each of us takes one."
Tang Ming shouted at Jin Zi, quickly rushed to Hua Yingjie, and kicked Hua Yingjie in the chest, sending him flying.
As Hua Yingjie flew, he held onto Bai Shengqi’s arm tightly, and under the powerful impact, dragged Bai Shengqi and the ancient poison crystal armor into the air.
"Big Treasure Sword!"
Jin Zi also acted simultaneously, raising his hands to concentrate a golden energy great sword, striking with powerful qi towards the location where the armor was being pulled.
Tang Ming attacked Hua Yingjie while Jin Zi directly targeted the ancient poison crystal armor. The two forces wrestled, ultimately allowing Hua Yingjie to pull Bai Shengqi out from the ancient poison crystal.
"It worked!"
Jin Zi controlled the energy great sword to completely separate the ancient poison crystal armor from Bai Shengqi, shouting excitedly.
"Oh dear!"
On the other side, Hua Yingjie fell to the ground, raised his head to see Bai Shengqi’s lifeless, skeletal face lying on his own.
"Help, help!"
Seeing Bai Shengqi’s lifeless expression, Hua Yingjie cried out in terror.
"It’s over, why are you yelling like a ghost?"
Tang Ming grumpily walked over to Hua Yingjie, kicking Bai Shengqi’s corpse aside: "This guy had been shot dead earlier; he was merely used by the ancient poison crystal core. Now that you pulled him out, he has returned to his original state."
"So he was already dead; that scared me."
Hua Yingjie wiped away cold sweat, looking towards Jin Zi’s direction: "How’s the situation over there?"
"Not sure."
Tang Ming looked up to see the ancient poison crystal armor, without Bai Shengqi as the host, first liquefy, then revert to its original form—a black and red hexagonal crystal suspended above the ground.
"Jin Zi, quickly destroy it while it’s in a solid state."
Zhuge Guang hurriedly reminded Jin Zi, who was controlling the ancient poison crystal core with the energy great sword.
"Destroy it? Such a miraculous thing, how could we destroy it?"
Jin Zi stared intently at the ancient poison crystal core, quickly took out a cloth bag to pack it up, while the energy giant sword in his hand didn’t attack the ancient poison crystal core but fiercely struck at Zhuge Guang instead.
"You..."
Zhuge Guang didn’t expect Jin Zi to get greedy at this moment and even launch a sneak attack on himself, yet he was powerless to fight back.
"Watch out!"
Seeing this scene, Tang Ming’s face changed dramatically; he stomped the ground hard, beneath him a black array plate appeared, enveloping Zhuge Guang, concentrating a layer of golden protective shield around him.
"Clang!"
A sound like metal clashing rang out, and the golden protective shield blocked Jin Zi’s attack.
"Hahaha, thanks for your help, everyone; I’m taking the ancient poison crystal core."
Jin Zi ran off while laughing and shouting.
"Do you think leaving is that easy?"
Shao Wuchou immediately chased after him, gun in hand.
"These bastards, none of them are good people."
Tang Ming cursed, quickly looking at Zhuge Guang: "Are you alright?"
"Won’t die, hurry and chase them; don’t let the ancient poison crystal core fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives."
Zhuge Guang teased while gritting his teeth to remind.
"Alright! Promise me you’ll be careful."
Tang Ming nodded, immediately pulling Hua Yingjie to chase after Jin Zi.
"What’s wrong with Zhuge Guang?"
Hua Yingjie curiously asked Tang Ming: "He didn’t seem to do much, yet looks badly injured."
"Didn’t do much? Trapping the ancient poison crystal core, blocking so many attacks, that’s pretty impressive."
Tang Ming gave Hua Yingjie a look, "The main thing is he used space power to teleport you behind Bai Shengqi, consuming his enormous energy."
Tang Ming also knew the Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes, so he understood how difficult it was to utilize space and time powers. Even he didn’t dare to mobilize energies from these two attributes.
This time, Zhuge Guang managed to have Hua Yingjie instantaneously appear behind Bai Shengqi by using space power, which led to enormous self-consumption; otherwise, he wouldn’t have needed Tang Ming’s help.
Realizing that Zhuge Guang’s desperate efforts were to prevent massacre and destruction, Tang Ming’s opinion of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect improved significantly. Regardless, this sect indeed deserved respect.
Tang Ming and Hua Yingjie pursued for a while, eventually witnessing Shao Wuchou and Jin Zi fighting.
With the ancient poison crystal core in hand, the previous alliance was completely shattered; now everyone wanted the ancient poison crystal core, including Tang Ming.
"Hey, let’s talk this over. Could you stop fighting?"
Tang Ming stood aside, speechless, watching the two going at each other: "There’s only one entrance to this place, entirely controlled by the Netherworld Road. Even if you get the ancient poison crystal core, you’re stuck here."
