Chapter 122 Why Not
Not only were mental attacks ineffective against Leng Tianrui, but even the supernatural damage from Yang Xie and the others was somewhat reduced.
No wonder Zhong Ling felt comfortable letting Leng Tianrui fight against the four of them.
"Tsk." Lv Zhi felt a sense of unease, as if he had been tricked.
He shared his speculation with his companions.
Yang Xie asked, "Is there a solution?"
Lü Zhi said, "The simplest and most brutal way is to smash it with even greater force."
He prefers this direct approach to using his brain.
“Okay.” Yang Xie also liked this direct approach.
“The strength of the three of us should be enough,” Dang Hongyuan said.
The three of them simultaneously gathered their power, and then Lü Zhi controlled Leng Tianrui to ensure that their attacks hit the same spot, which would be much more effective.
The combined attack of the three even caused fluctuations in the energy of the air. Lü Zhi used vines to control Leng Tianrui's limbs and even planned to use his mental power to take advantage of the situation and make Leng Tianrui wake up.
"Bang!" A flash of fire, a clap of lightning, and an invisible energy manipulation struck Leng Tianrui directly in the abdomen.
Unable to dodge, he retreated several steps.
Lu Zhi seized the opportunity and unleashed his spiritual power.
"Pfft!" Zhong Ling outside suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, which startled Zhuang Zhong, who quickly supported her.
Zhong Ling looked shocked and whispered, "Leng Tianrui's mental control has been broken."
The feeling that things were getting out of control made her uneasy.
But Leng Tianrui's metal space hadn't been opened yet, and they didn't know what had happened.
The fighting inside has stopped.
Leng Tianrui knelt on the ground and suddenly spat out several mouthfuls of blood, realizing that their combined attack had caused him considerable damage.
He had just regained consciousness and was still not clear about the situation. A trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, but when he saw Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie, he immediately came to his senses, quickly got up, and staggered towards them.
Yang Xie quickly shielded Dang Hongyuan behind him, gathering power in his hands.
"Party headquarters, Base One..."
"Yang Xie, wait!" Dang Hongyuan grabbed Yang Xie's hand, stopping him.
Watching Leng Tianrui approach with difficulty, he endured the pain and said in a trembling voice, "Base One is no longer the base it used to be. Guan Qi has also been taken into custody. Now, the new generation and the plunderers are in charge. That Zhong Ling... cough cough cough!"
He coughed violently, his chest heaving, indicating that he wasn't simply injured by them.
But Leng Tianrui didn't care at all; he just wanted to tell them the important news.
"Save Guan Qi, Base One, we can't, we can't leave him here..." Leng Tianrui's vision became increasingly blurry, and his metal barrier was also collapsing.
When Zhong Ling and the others saw it, Leng Tianrui had just fallen to the ground, and they assumed that Dang Hongyuan and his group had done it.
"Yang Xie!" Dang Hongyuan reacted quickly, ordering Yang Xie to immediately support Leng Tianrui. To others, it looked like a kidnapping, but in reality, they couldn't let Leng Tianrui fall into Zhong Ling's hands again.
"Does Captain Zhong have any other tricks up his sleeve?" Dang Hongyuan asked coldly.
Zhong Ling took a deep breath; she had really messed up today.
"Retreat," she ordered immediately.
Dang Hongyuan sneered, "Captain Zhong is being a bit naive. Do you think we'd give you a chance to escape?"
The special forces surrounded them all.
Zhong Ling was holding the last teleportation device in her hand. Just as she was about to use it, a vine pierced her wrist. Before the device could even touch the ground, it was snatched away by the vine.
"Lv Zhi!" Zhong Ling glared fiercely at Lv Zhi, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces. She decided to throw caution to the wind and shouted, "Lv Zhi isn't..."
"ah!"
Before she could finish speaking, a powerful bolt of lightning struck her, instantly paralyzing her body. Forget about speaking; even staying conscious was a difficult task.
“Sui Cheng, you…” She looked at Sui Cheng in disbelief; it was Sui Cheng who had just interrupted her.
Now that things have come to this, it would be truly foolish of her not to see the situation clearly.
Those who follow the path know that the law is different.
As her consciousness faded, the last thing she thought of was, "No wonder Lu Zhi was so confident; it turns out that Sui Cheng was on his side from the very beginning."
Zhuang Zhong was concerned for Zhong Ling and wanted to help her break through the encirclement, but Dang Hongyuan and his men were too many. If they forced their way through, they would only seriously injure themselves.
After the charioteer safely brought Dang Hongyuan and the others back to the base, the headquarters breathed a sigh of relief and praised him highly.
They were even more surprised to see that they had brought Leng Tianrui and Zhong Ling back.
Dang Hongyuan instructed them to detain Zhong Ling and the others in a special interrogation room. Zhong Ling, in particular, was a psychic ability user and was to be detained in an interrogation room made of special metal. Leng Tianrui was sent to the infirmary.
The attendant also asked a lawyer to treat him, which saved his life.
Leng Tianrui is very important to them now.
As for Base One, Dang Hongyuan and his team didn't even rest for a few minutes before calling a meeting to discuss sanctions against Base One.
But before that, Dang Hongyuan planned to go to the Qinglong base in person.
His goal was not to get Bai Xuefeng's side to submit immediately, but to prevent them from interfering in the affairs of the Huaxia Base and Base No. 1. More importantly, he wanted to include a threat as a deterrent.
When Zhong Ling woke up, she found herself in a cold, empty room. Her spiritual energy could not penetrate the walls at all, and she quickly realized that there was something wrong with them.
She sat there calmly, her hands clasped with special handcuffs to suppress her powers, her vision becoming somewhat blurry.
Her brain was racing, mostly focused on whether Cecil would come to her rescue.
When she arrived with them, she had already sent a message to Cecil. This was her last resort, a gamble on whether Cecil would dare to directly provoke the Chinese base.
If she wins, she can survive.
If you lose, you can only wait to die.
She glanced at the camera in the corner and knew someone was watching her, but no one showed up. Gradually, she started to get anxious, and all sorts of guesses popped into her mind.
But when the door opened, she saw the passenger, and all her previous assumptions collapsed.
She watched as the passenger closed the door, then gritted her teeth and asked her first question: "Do you know that those who practice the law are of a different kind?"
The passenger wasn't surprised that she would ask so directly.
On the other end of the surveillance were Dang Hongyuan and Yang Xie, and he wasn't afraid of others finding out.
"So what?" The attendant pulled out a chair and sat opposite Zhong Ling, his expression indifferent. "Are you surprised?"
Zhong Ling was naturally surprised. As far as she knew, Sui Cheng disliked people of different species and always dealt with them ruthlessly when they encountered them. So why would he tolerate Lu Zhi following him?
“I see confusion on your face. Do you want to know why I let Lu Zhi follow me?” Sui Cheng crossed his legs, placed his hands on his knees, and curled his lips into a slightly flippant and mocking smile. “Because Lu Zhi said I could use him, and he would do anything for me. He’s been so sincere, why wouldn’t I take him?”
