Chapter 942: 942
For the Fire Ant King, the next half a minute was truly the longest thirty seconds of his life . After witnessing the guard being slain by the mica threads ruthlessly, he could not help but feel strange when the fatal weapons were cutting rapidly right next to his body at a speed more than five times the speed of sound . All the while, scorching metal scraps were spluttering out .
The Fire Ant King had never thought that his life would be in the hands of a Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator one day, and such a young one!
What was more terrifying was the countenance of the young Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator . Although he was cursing loudly and sweating hard, there was ecstasy deep inside his eyes that were in different colors . His lips curled up beyond his control . Excitement was leaking out of his every pore . Occasionally, he was even licking the corner of his mouth softly, as if he was not dismantling the most dreadful magical equipment but enjoying the most delicious meal in the world .
As the dismantling work went deeper and deeper, his facial expressions were more and more abundant . He went from frowning to depressed, from beaming with exhilaration to bursting into fury .
The Fire Ant King was not scared of death, but being pulled back and forth over the line of death was too much!
Half a minute later, Li Yao took a long breath in relief . All the mica threads gradually slowed down .
"Did you make it?"
The Fire Ant King kept his voice normal, trying not to make himself sound too anxious .
"I didn't," Li Yao said admiringly . "Jiang Shaoyang is indeed one of the best masters of refining in the federation right now . He has hidden the 'Winter Thunder Runes' below the Triple Gold Ring Runes and thereby created a minor trap . He even increased the sensitivity of the 'Winter Thunder Runes' by more than ten times . The slight vibration when I was manipulating the mica threads was detected by them, and the rune array was triggered . The entire magical equipment could have been detonated in half a second!
"Thankfully, I established a new circuit for the Winter Thunder Runes temporarily and gave a false feedback that the triggering signal had already been sent in the mainframe chips . Otherwise, the magical equipment would have exploded .
"Marvelous . It's indeed marvelous . Jiang Shaoyang's design and micro-carving techniques are the best I've seen . I assume that a lot of masters of refining in the Star Glory Federation were actually 'killed' by the trap when they tried to crack the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle . Hahahaha!"
"…If I may remind you, Fellow Cultivator, there are only 2 minutes and 42 seconds left now!"
Li Yao nodded and scratched his chin, deep in thought . "It is quite tricky now . Jin Xinyue did not just plant one array of the 'Winter Thunder Runes' in the depths of the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle; he was insane enough to deploy more than twenty of those arrays . Besides, nine of them were connected to each other in a synchronic way, like twenty alarms that are hanged on the same rope . If the robe is slightly touched, the alarms will ring at the same time!
"With my maximum hand speed, I can crack three arrays of the Winter Thunder Runes simultaneously at best . Twenty of them is beyond the limits for any refiner!"
Staring at the glittering magical equipment, Li Yao seemed to be absent-minded .
The thousands of components behind him were still like giants of living sand . They were condensing, collapsing, condensing again, and collapsing again .
Time went by one second after another . Li Yao was still at a loss after an entire minute and did not do any further cracking work .
The Fire Ant King observed the bouncing number on the light beam so hard that his eyeballs were nearly crawling into it!
Li Yao finally extended his hands and placed them on the top of the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle . He closed his eyes while his spiritual energy leaked into the magical equipment like water .
The Fire Ant King held his breath, worrying that his breath might be an interference for Li Yao .
But out of his expectation, Li Yao remained in the same posture and seemed to have no intention of cracking the magical equipment at all .
Behind him, countless components were being gathered and growing stubbornly again . This time, they persisted for more than half a minute . Like towers made of sand, they were more and more complicated and precise in structure until they turned into a piece of bizarre piece of magical equipment in the end .
However, right when the Fire Ant King was hopeful again, the magical equipment collapsed abruptly after a cracking sound!
At this moment, there was only half a minute to go before the Venomous Scorpion Bone Biting Shackle was detonated!
"I can't do it . "
Li Yao finally opened his eyes, with an expression that was beyond the description of any words on face . He said, half in frustration and half in excitement, "Jiang Shaoyang's design is impeccable . This is truly a piece of magical equipment that cannot be cracked by brute force!
"I did not know that he had improved so much after only ten years . How I hope that I can have a face-to-face competition with him again using the same materials, the same requirements, and the same magical equipment!"
The Fire Ant King did not know what to say .
Behind Li Yao, most of the components had already been tossed away . Only several hundred of the simplest ones were stilling floating in midair sparsely . They were moving close to each other and biting each other, assembling a piece of magical equipment that was simple in structure and extremely hideous in appearance, to the point that it looked like garbage .
One of the components, pulling a long crystal wire behind it, was connected to one of the slots of his mini crystal processor under the manipulation of Li Yao's telepathic thoughts .
Hum!
The garbage shook violently, as if it would fall apart at any moment .
The Fire Ant King panted and sweated hard .
More than ten light beams were unfolded in front of Li Yao again, each of which was brimming with shining control runes .
