Chapter 736: Mutual Deterrence Is Broken!
Translator: flycrane01 Editor: Millman97
Hiu!
Li Yao quickly retreated to ninety-nine meters away . One meter further, and the crystal bomb inside Bai Xinghe's stomach would be detonated immediately . Still not relieved, he opened his hands and formed four spiritual shields in the front while planting a hundred crystal bombs that would explode the moment they were touched amid the spiritual shields, building three walls of bombs!
After finishing the decoration in the blink of an eye, Li Yao was somewhat relieved .
Bai Xinghe was dazed . He seemed to be surprised as he said, "My young friend Bloody Vulture—"
"Don't move . Don't talk . Let me think for a minute!" Li Yao yelled . Every cell in his body was vibrating crazily as he prepared himself for battle . The chaotic butterflies of thought congregated and dispersed inside his brain, leaving starry brilliance behind .
From the moment he caught up to Bai Xinghe, Li Yao had been feeling ill at ease . But during the way, Bai Xinghe had behaved obediently, and the multiple traps below the ground had distracted Li Yao's attention . Therefore, Li Yao had gradually overlooked the warning in his heart .
But right now, the uncanny behavior of Bai Xinghe introducing a secret story from ten thousand years ago without a good reason made the warning pop up again . Something was buzzing earsplittingly inside his head .
This is not right . My intuition tells me that I must have ignored something very important . That's why I felt so alarmed all the way here!
Details! Remember every detail of Bai Xinghe!
Li Yao utilized all his computational ability and analyzed every second since Bai Xinghe's appearance by dividing them into a hundred pictures and scrutinizing every single frame .
It was like the wildly flying butterflies in his brain were fixed, and the stripes on them were zoomed in . Everything was crystal clear now!
When the totally different stripes on two butterflies were conflicting with each other in his brain, Li Yao's pupils constricted violently because he realized the reason of his unease!
The first picture was on the carrier of the Tiger Teeth Pirate Gang, where Bai Xinghe kicked Luo Jinhu down and said, "Cut the crap! With a decent price, you wouldn't even blink before selling your family! Also, for a decent price, I guarantee that I will sell your mother to the brothel tomorrow! We are all lawless space pirates . Are you pretending that you are a loyal knight?"
The second picture—No, actually it was not picture, but a voice that Li Yao had heard . It was the miserable scream when Bai Xinghe was ambushed by his first true disciple . "Bai Wulei, you, too?"
The scream was indeed full of bewilderment, fury, hatred, and desperation!
Li Yao also recalled 'Stormy Sword', a notebook written by Fengyu Zhong personally, in which Bai Xinghe's rise was elaborated in his biography .
During the process of turning from a treasure hunter that was humbler than a rat miraculously into a Pirate Potentate, he betrayed at least three leaders who were practically fathers to him and sold twenty sworn brothers!
'Stormy Sword' was a tutorial on the arts of space pirates that Fengyu Zhong had written for his son, Fengyu Ming . It was quite personal, and there was no reason for him to slander Bai Xinghe in such a way .
Therefore, for a great man who established his fame with plots, betrayals, and treacheries and knew clearly that there was no warmth between space pirates but only backscratching, how would he utter such a desperate, painful, and stunned scream even if he was truly betrayed by his disciple?
But if his scream was faked, or at least half faked, what would have been on his mind?
Li Yao thought quickly and put himself in Bai Xinghe's shoes .
If he had been in Bai Xinghe's position, heavily wounded and aware that there was a secret teleportation array that nobody else knew of deep below the ground of the Red Steel Crystal Suit Center, he would know that he had to get there as quickly as possible .
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Every crevice and intersection when he traced back to Bai Xinghe in the beginning popped up his brain again .
He constructed a transparent map of escape inside his head, while he calculated quickly how long it would take for a Building Foundation Stage Cultivator to finish the whole journey .
Five seconds later, he came to a conclusion that almost froze all the blood throughout his body .
"You were waiting for me," Li Yao mumbled . "I didn't catch you; you were waiting for me next to the secret teleportation array on purpose!"
Bai Xinghe's voice was equally warm and comforting, like the everlasting spring breeze, when he said, "My young friend, what you are talking about?"
Taking a deep breath, Li Yao stared at every power rune on Bai Xinghe's body and gnashed his teeth . "According to my calculations, even though Fengyu Zhong was right about you being in the Building Foundation Stage because of the heavy wounds, you would still have been able to enter the teleportation array half a minute before I showed up!
"Through the teleportation array, it would have taken you only a few seconds to reach the entrance of the fortress . You needed only to destroy the teleportation behind you, and I would never have been able to find you again!
"If you were indeed running away without caring about anything, there was no reason for you to have been delayed there for half a minute!
"The only plausible explanation is that you slowed down on purpose to wait for me, or rather, somebody who might catch up with you!"
Bai Xinghe smiled casually and clapped his hands . "My young friend, you are indeed thoughtful as a well-known bandit in the circle of space pirates who rose to fame in only one short month . Although your epiphany comes too late, it is worth complimenting . "
The armor on the hands of his crystal suit clashed, emitting crisp sounds that echoed inside the vast palace, mixed with a hint of scorn .
