Forty Millenniums of Cultivation - Chapter 2511

Chapter 2511: Hold On Tightly and Don’t Let Go!

“Lay down your magical equipment, take off your cape, do you hear me?”

Right when Huo Dongling was overwhelmed, the Immortal Cultivator’s thunderous voice echoed from behind her. Pausing for a moment, the voice was even louder than before. “Where’s the last guy? There were obviously three persons on this side. Where is the last person hiding? Get out, get out!”

So, it was not Huo Dongling’s illusion, and “Mr. Li” had truly disappeared.

But how was it possible?

“Mr. Li” was behind her back in the beginning. If he had walked away quietly, it was possible that she did not hear it.

However, the Immortal Cultivator in the crystal suit as well as his ferocious companions had been looking at them face to face. How could this “Mr. Li” have vanished mysteriously right under the watch of so many Immortal Cultivators?

Huo Dongling couldn’t have been more baffled, but it was not the time to think. She could already feel the eyes of the Immortal Cultivators that were rubbing her body like scalpels.

The girl was both frustrated and frightened. She almost wanted to curse at the Immortal Cultivators aloud, but she did not have the courage to do so after all. Her tears ran out of her eyes helplessly again.

Was Mr. Li right that those wretched Immortal Cultivators did not intend to spare anyone in the first place? Would she die? Would her father die? Would her friends who had left the South Spirit Planet for a living just like her all die?

If they all died, nobody would bring the water cleaning cartridges and the air cleaning systems back in time. The settlements on the South Spirit Planet would surely collapse. Everybody would die of thirst, hunger, and suffocation. The South Spirit Planet that they had been constructing for a hundred years, their barren but lovely hometown, was about to be destroyed, too!

How could the Immortal Cultivators of the four families have been so ruthless?

Just now… Just now, that “Mr. Li” said that everything would be fine as long as she clung to the clothes of the cheetah?

Although it sounded absurd, Huo Dongling couldn’t help but want to believe “Mr. Li”. She didn’t really have a second option either.

Swallowing hard, the girl extended her shivering hands at the corner of the mysterious man’s clothes.

“Don’t move! I told you not to move!”

The Immortal Cultivator in the black crystal suit was already paranoid because of the disappearance of “Mr. Li”. Noticing Huo Dongling’s tiny movement, he immediately shouted.

Huo Dongling trembled hard, and her nerve endings constricted to the limits. Her little, tender hands that looked like lotus roots were frozen. She did not have any courage to move anymore.

The mysterious man noticed Huo Dongling’s movement too. He slowly turned around and looked at her, and the eyes of suspicion leaked out of the deep dark goggles, as if he were asking the little girl, What are you doing exactly?

Huo Dongling’s face was immediately burning, and she couldn’t have felt more ashamed. Gosh, what was wrong with her today? Why did she want to seek the protection of an Immortal Cultivator? Was she out of her mind?

Immortal Cultivators never protected the ordinary people. They were all jackals of the same lair. They were the high and mighty deities, masters, true human beings. They were…

Out of her expectation, while the girl was going to retreat her hands, her head in a mess, the mysterious man in black offered to pull the bottom of his coat and deliver it to Huo Dongling.

“Huh?” Her eyes widening, the girl looked at the guy in confusion.

“Hold on to it,” the mysterious man in black wiped the rice on his lips and said coldly.

“A*shole, what are you doing exactly? Are you really not scared of death? Who are you people? Are you the spies of the reformists? Where is the last bas*ard hiding? Get out, get out!” the Immortal Cultivator in the black crystal suit roared crazily.

Huo Dongling extended her hands to grab it, shaking, but the mysterious man in black simply stuffed the hem of his coat into her hands impatiently. He also pinched her cold hands and hinted her to grasp it tightly.

“Stay within one meter from me. You must hold on to it tightly, do you understand?”

The mysterious man in black finally took off his goggles, revealing a pair of eyes that were more brilliant than gold. “If you do, nod your head, and we will begin.”

Begin to do what?

Huo Dongling was completely lost and nodded her head subconsciously. Then—

The whole world changed!

The corners of the cabin had lights illuminating the room in the beginning, but they died out at the same time, casting the whole room into the darkness like ink.

The glittering crystal suits on the Immortal Cultivators immediately became the best targets in the darkness.

Huo Dongling felt like she was flying, as if she were sitting on a lion that had grown wings. The whole world was swirling and rushing next to her.

It was impossible for her to cling to the mysterious man’s coat with her weak strength, but the guy’s cold hands had been dragging her wrists and delivering gentle strength, helping her soothe the blast of the high speed.

Huo Dongling’s heart was pounding three times faster, and it was impossible for her to even scream.

While she couldn’t scream, there were too many people who could. Colorful flames were emerging in the darkness nonstop when the storm bolters and the blades were activated and unleashing spiritual energy, but neither the burning guns nor the broken sabers could stop the arrival of death. The cocky Immortal Cultivators a moment ago were all crying as if they were pigs being butchered, mixed with the noises of crystal suits being destroyed and bones being shattered.

Whenever one of the flames was glittering, Huo Dongling could see an astonishing and unbelievable picture.

The Immortal Cultivator in the black crystal suit was the first to take the hit. His chest had been collapsed heavily by the mysterious man who had gold eyes. The entire breastplate of his crystal suit fell so deep into his stomach that it was almost stuck to his back.

Vomiting blood crazily, he was blown backward and hit the wall; his hands and feet deeply embedded into it. It was obvious that none of the gods in the entire universe could save him now.

The other invaders suffered the same. As if swallowed by an invisible tornado, their hands and feet that were covered by the solid crystal suits were bent unnaturally. Their heads were twisted by 180 degrees, allowing them to see their backs before the heads were twisted back to the front again. Their necks were loose and couldn’t support their heads anymore.

When the third flame glittered, Huo Dongling saw the twisted face of the second mercenary, whose pants had been wetted and whose face was as pale as his pants. In a voice more high-pitched than a castrated rooster, he shrieked, “Don’t… Don’t kill me. I’m loyal to the reformists and the Business Alliance of Ten Thousand Sectors… Long live the reformists, long live the—”

His scream came to an abrupt end before he finished it, replaced by the bubbling sounds of blood springing out. Like a dying crab, he cramped as if he suffered an electric shock, with pink foams flowing out of the corners of his mouth.

“Close your eyes.”

The mysterious man in black said coldly, “It’s not pretty.”

Huo Dongling was stunned for a long time before she realized that the mysterious man was talking to her. Her pinky face was even hotter in her embarrassment. She felt that the guy’s cold hands were getting warm despite the blockage of the gloves.

After so many things, she had to persist however scared she was. Thinking for a moment, Huo Dongling said concernedly, “You… You should escape now. There are still a lot of people outside!”

She was referring to the two “Starry Shark”-level hunting warships that were covetous and about to attack.

However tough the mysterious man in black—Mr. Li’s brother—was, and however many bad Immortal Cultivators he could kill, it was impossible to get away from the hunting of two warships!

“Don’t be scared.”

Out of her expectation, the mysterious man in black simply grabbed her wrist and said casually, “There’s nobody outside now.”

…

The stone belt was both cold and scorching. In the vacuum that was both dark and frequented by the lights of destruction, Mr. Li—or Li Yao—who had just left Little Bear, only wearing a mustard-seed combat suit that was as thin as paper, leaped forward agilely toward the two “Starry Shark”-level warships with the rushing meteoroids as his stairs.

While sprinting forward, he whistled an awful tune. A streak of redness darted out of his Cosmos Ring and turned out to be a mini warship the size of a short arrow. It was exactly Neltharion that he hadn’t used for a long time!

A red hue surged out of his forehead and entangled Neltharion, instantly filling the mini warship with firepower and killing intent!

“Hey—”

The mental devil who was attached to Neltharion was very dissatisfied. “I am a mental devil after all, and a king of all mental devils for that matter. Why do I have to help you with the meaningless stuff again?”

“Don’t think about it that way. Just consider it a test to check how powerful Neltharion is after being redesigned, modified, and upgraded by Xiaoming, Wenwen, and the Fist King. Also, the blood of those scumbags is the best offering to it!”

Li Yao said with a smile, “Hey, are you interested in a race?”

The mental devil’s blood brilliance immediately broke apart. “What race?”

“There are thirteen starships aside from Little Bear. Let me see… Huh, there are three and a half Immortal Cultivators and 22.3 battle puppets on average that have invaded each starship.”

Counting his fingers, Li Yao said, “I’ll take care of the two warships, and you will settle the scumbags who have invaded the cargo ships. Let’s see who is faster.”

“It’s such a childish game. I don’t want it.”

The mental devil scorned, “Moreover, it is very troublesome to clear the invaders on every cargo ship. You obviously have more advantages… Fine, let’s have it!”

While talking, it suddenly accelerated and dashed toward where the other cargo ships were on Neltharion, at a speed thirty percent higher than before. The bloody streak it left behind was multiple kilometers long, like a ribbon attached to the back of a flying sword.

Li Yao smiled. “I knew it!”

His eyes suddenly grew sharp. Too lazy to summon the Colossus, he simply touched his forehead with two fingers and retrieved a Mystic Skeleton Battlesuit with eight pairs of super-alloy wings. When he raised his hands, his vitality field immediately spread to hundreds of meters away, enshrouding a thousand meteoroids that were flying by. His technique of remote manipulation accelerated the meteoroids nonstop and covered them in dazzling electric arcs, which joined each other and congregated into a destructive lightning storm!

Standing at the center of the lightning storm, Li Yao slowly descended between the two warships. His telepathic thoughts saturated the two warships like tides while he put on a cold smile. “The strongest people on board are just juniors in the Core Formation Stage. You are bold enough to play evil when you are so evil? You truly don’t know what you are doing!”
