Wei Jiangqi dared not act rashly anymore.
He indeed had the idea of using his spiritual power to take control of Chen Gu’s perception once again and then sneak in undetected.
"Put down that brain," Wei Jiangqi said, "I swear by my faith that I will ensure the safety of you and your companions as you depart!"
"Otherwise..." Wei Jiangqi spoke as his thought flashed through his mind. Powerful spiritual tendrils, having solidified, wrapped around the other mbers of the special ops team hiding in the shadows, lifting them all into the air!
Gong Shuxu snorted angrily. How could a grand master of the Sixth Energy Level be insulted so lightly! He clearly felt the spiritual tendrils that had beco tangible rolling towards his neck. Behind him, another two tendrils snuck silently along the ground beneath his feet. Indeed, this was the setup to handle a master of the Sixth Energy Level—two more tendrils than for the other team mbers.
However, when he tried to resist, he caught nothing but air, and the two tendrils behind him also disappeared. Then, a spiritual tendril, having wrapped around his ankle without him noticing, suddenly lifted him upside down!
A massive surge of spiritual power then flowed in, severing the neural connections throughout his body!
Gong Shuxu was a Psychological Spy who had spent his lifeti engaging in ’deception’ and ’misdirection.’ But today, in this battle, he had been completely misled and outsmarted, resulting in a particularly stifling defeat.
Gong Shuxu, suspended upside down, saw that the other team mbers were all hanging by their necks, while only he was inverted.
Was this the special treatnt for the Sixth Energy Level?
What shocked him even more was that he, a distinguished master of the Sixth Energy Level, was utterly powerless under Wei Jiangqi’s control. Although his underestimation of the enemy played a part, even if he had been fully prepared and fought Wei Jiangqi with all his might, the outco would likely still have been a bitter defeat.
When did this guy get so strong?
Wei Jiangqi had caused trendous casualties to the Bureau of Mystic Security’s special services when he was captured, but at that ti, the strength he demonstrated was at most on the Fourth Energy Level.
Chen Gu held the Crown Brain high. After so boasting, he saw that all his backup had been captured. A wave of dread washed over him, especially when he saw Gong Shuxu hanging upside-down.
His previous judgnt had been spot on: Wei Jiangqi, hiding in the Confederation’s prison, must have been plotting sothing. Now that he was out, he possessed terrifying power, probably on par with the Eighth Energy Level. Chen Gu felt a pang of regret; he shouldn’t have personally co to oversee Tian Luo Star...
Wei Jiangqi, keenly catching the astonishnt flickering in Chen Gu’s eyes, solemnly said, "I an what I say. Give the brain, and I will let you leave."
He reached out his hand toward Chen Gu.
Would Chen Gu dare to hand it over? Of course not.
He was calculating various ideas in his mind when Wei Jiangqi firmly said, "You have only three seconds to think!
"I am well aware that if you could show up here, there must be military backup. Don’t think about stalling for ti!"
Chen Gu pressed hard into the void, and a virtual button materialized. He retorted fiercely, "You guessed right! As soon as your retrieval ship landed, a second-level fleet followed and has sealed off this planet’s outer space!
"The mont I press this button, it will signify the failure of our mission, and the fleet’s flagship will promptly use a planet-destroying caliber weapon to bombard our coordinates!"
Wei Jiangqi sneered, "No, you won’t.
"Everyone’s afraid of death. We haven’t reached that point yet, so don’t think you can bluff ."
Chen Gu nodded. "Indeed, it hasn’t co to that yet. I don’t want to die, nor do I want my companions to perish. But I don’t trust you!"
Wei Jiangqi pointed to his followers. "You can ask them. A vow I make upon my faith will not be broken."
His followers quickly nodded, fervently assuring Chen Gu that the Prophet’s faith was pure and steadfast, among other such praises.
No matter what, ti had been delayed, far exceeding three seconds.
But Chen Gu still didn’t know whether the ’support’ he was hoping for would arrive.
The military satellites in the sky were continually scanning. Once the magnetic levitation armored vehicle convoy rendezvoused with the Bear and confird Wei Jiangqi was on Tian Luo Star, they transmitted the information back.
The headquarters would certainly send reinforcents, but interstellar travel takes ti. And whether the backup specialists could subdue Wei Jiangqi... now seed very doubtful.
"You can leave first." Wei Jiangqi knew he couldn’t drag this out any longer; the more ti they wasted, the more disadvantageous it was for him.
"I’ll keep these hostages. After you reach a place you consider safe, put down the brain. After I retrieve the brain, I will release these hostages."
"No," Chen Gu imdiately refused. "If I accept such terms, how could I face everyone afterward?"
Would I be seen as a coward who runs away alone, abandoning his comrades?
He still tried to stall for ti. This ti, a strong tide of spiritual power swiftly surged from Wei Jiangqi. "My patience has run out, thief—et your demise!"
"Wait a second!" Chen Gu, holding the Crown Brain high, raised one hand. But Wei Jiangqi was indeed ready to attack. Great Actor Chen suddenly felt as if he was standing alone in front of a tsunami’s towering wave.
The wave of the opponent’s spiritual power could engulf him with a single sweep.
Chen Gu inwardly cursed Wei Jiangqi for playing dirty, while quickly positioning the Crown Brain in front of him. As expected, the tsunami-like spiritual power vanished instantly.
