step
Surrounded by armed guards, standing in the Lotus Formation unable to summon heroic spirits, and being locked by a sniper rifle, Wu Ci smiled calmly and helplessly, "Your Highness, everyone's time is precious. Are you sure you want me to accompany you in such a meaningless game?"
"Please don't say that." Princess Morning Star said softly, "Wu Ci, I gave you a chance, but you were very disobedient... You should understand that the face of the royal family cannot be violated, not to mention that a wild wolf like you who only cares about personal interests and pursues power and status will only become an eagle dog of the Sky Group and oppose the royal family, oppressing my beloved people and wantonly destroying the Dark Star that raised us...
I am sorry to have to kill you as a solution, but for the reasons above, I cannot let you continue to live... I really hope you can forgive me for what I have done, dear Wuci."
Wuci gently took off his gloves, "Since you insist on doing so..."
"Kill."
Both sides spoke at almost the same time.
Sniper bullets whirl stealthily from a distance!
Wu Ci quickly pulled out the pistol from his thigh belt, opened the safety arm and pulled the trigger in the direction of the floor-to-ceiling window!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The pistol/gun bullet with a shorter range carried spiritual power and broke the French window, and collided with the armor-piercing electromagnetic bullet of the sniper rifle accurately and precisely at the position that Wu Ci had already calculated based on the crosshairs on his head!
In the sky, a series of collisions created blue arcs that were extremely dazzling even under the false sunlight!
Wu Ci turned his gun around, temporarily avoiding the second wave of bullets fired by the sniper, and threw the gun that had run out of bullets high into the air.
The guards surrounding him spewed out dense flames like a barrage from their hands!
Wu Ci's movements were restricted by the golden lotus halo under his feet, and he obviously had no way to avoid it, but he unexpectedly drew the dagger from his belt!
The dagger supplied to the highest-ranking officer of the Special Management Bureau was of very good quality. It was made of an unknown alloy and he had added a layer of green spiritual power to the blade.
The knife flowers were spinning, and dense bullets were chopped away. Some were split in half by the sharp blades, and more were bounced in all directions based on the kinetic potential energy!
The bullets penetrated the bodies of the surrounding guards accurately!
Princess Morningstar, who thought everything was a foregone conclusion, widened her eyes.
"Princess! Get out of the way!" Miss Chen kicked over the desk and pushed her behind it, but Princess Morning Star raised her hand to stop her, "Sister Yan, stand still and don't move."
She raised her slender index finger to her red lips, "Have you noticed that every ricochet bullet will accurately penetrate the guards' fatal parts, making them lose their ability to react immediately? For example, the neck, the center of the eyebrows, the temples, the heart..."
Princess Morning Star said softly, "When he deflected those bullets, he calculated the landing point of each bullet, without any mistake.
Such an amazing brain calculation law certainly knows that it cannot kill me, otherwise it will definitely anger Lady Ines, and the mountains and rivers will not protect him. If we move rashly, we will only leave the safe area he has marked out for us and hit the trajectory of those anti-bullets. "
“I know, but I don’t trust him. He is too cruel and ruthless. I even wonder how he was able to sign a contract with Chu Ci.” Miss Chen said, standing in front of Princess Morning Star with her immortal spirit, and looking warily at Wu Ci in the Golden Lotus Formation.
Around Wuci, blood flowers exploded one after another. The flames that the guards spewed at him became sickles for the god of death to harvest themselves, and every shot was deadly.
All the guards fell to the ground with a bang. Wu Ci's slender and serious hands twirled his knife like a butterfly to shake off the blood and smoke dust, then put the knife back into the belt around his waist, raised his hand to catch the pistol he had just thrown and put it back on his leg.
He dodged the explosion of the distant sniper electromagnetic bullet by somersaulting on the ground with one hand. The air brought by the narrow Golden Lotus Formation bit his waistline tightly, and the hem of his long windbreaker drew a beautiful arc and flew gracefully.
Wu Ci hooked his long legs tightly wrapped in military trousers and leather boots, and two guns of different models in the hands of the guards' corpses fell into his hands.
In the blink of an eye, guns of different models were quickly disassembled, parts fell to the ground with clanging sounds, and a new gun appeared in his hand.
Wu Ci licked his lips, took out his magazine, loaded the bullets, and squinted at the French window with his naked eyes.
“Bang! Bang…Bang!”
The armor-piercing electromagnetic sniper bullets that were attacking him from a distance stopped before Princess Morningstar gave the order.
This means that five snipers were killed at the same time.
"I underestimated you, Wuci. It's really amazing."
Princess Morning Star was not angry at all for the lives Wu Ci had killed. Instead, she smiled and clapped her hands, "I sincerely invite you to join the royal family. Otherwise, I would not be able to keep you, as you are so outstanding."
"Hmm?" Wu Ci said with a slightly smiling ending. He stepped on the corpse of a certain unlucky guard with one foot, and with one hand he raised the newly assembled gun across the pool of blood. He aimed it at Princess Morning Star, who was smiling dignifiedly without even a stain on her skirt. "The fun is over, Princess. I think your heroic spirit, Miss Chen, does not have any active offensive skills, right? Otherwise, how could she just control me?"
"That's true. My rank is not that high. I was just a mortal before I died. I don't have that many special skills. I can't compare to your Taoist Master Chu, who is born extraordinary. I can't compare to you, who is restricted from using heroic spirits and can even solve these small troubles around you without using the methods given by Zhen Shanhe."
Miss Chen took a step forward and stood in front of Princess Morning Star. The two girls smiled in the same way and their eyes looked exactly the same. "But are you sure you don't want to accept the princess' invitation?"
Wu Ci observed the two of them calmly.
I hadn’t realized just now that Princess Morning Star and Miss Chen are so compatible… they actually look so alike… But Miss Chen looks so confident of victory, does she have a backup plan?
Is it the ability of the one favored by the Heavenly Lord or the inherent ability of the heroic spirit?
The ability of the Tianzun's favored ones... [Sacrifice to summon the gods] is definitely not enough. It would require at least 90 million people. Moreover, if they summon Tianzun to take a look, the world will be destroyed immediately. It would be a big move of the newspaper that would drag everyone to death. Miss Chen would be crazy to use this.
Therefore, the only things that can be used in this situation are [Stealing Life] which can temporarily seize other Xuanling Tiandao's authority and other people's status and abilities, and [Blood and Flesh Infusion] which is used for treatment.
Princess Morningstar is a member of the royal family, so she certainly has no shortage of spirit stones. If Miss Chen didn't feel sorry for Princess Morningstar, she could use the rich spiritual power and the sacrifice of some organs to temporarily take away Wu Ci's state and abilities. Then Miss Chen could use [Blood and Flesh Infusion] to restore herself and Princess Morningstar.
But Wu Ci is also a favored one of the Heavenly Lord! Even if he cannot summon Chu Ci, he cannot reveal that he can possess Chu Ci, but he can also use the skills of the Heavenly Lord's formation. As long as he has enough spiritual power, he can regain the state that has been taken away. There are so many corpses of guards around, it doesn't matter whether he digs out eyes or cuts off hands and feet. Anyway, there is no burden to use [Blood and Flesh Infusion].
As for the unknown abilities of Miss Chen's heroic spirit, Wu Ci grabbed a handful of spirit stones before leaving. It should be enough to use the method given by Zhen Shanhe to deal with it. It should be enough to suppress them before Miss Chen uses the large amount of spirit stones in the princess's hands to seize his state.
If you can beat them, then there is no need to bow your head! Bowing your head is not decent!
Wu Ci showed no concern, and shook his head gently and tolerantly, as if he was looking at an ignorant child. "Let's not talk about the fact that you two asked me to betray the director. Just your attitude towards me and the dead around us is unbearable. You don't respect us at all, so...please forgive me for refusing."
"Since you choose to refuse, I can only force you to agree."
Princess Morning Star pulled off the largest gem on her skirt and crushed it, then looked at Miss Chen and smiled happily, "Sister Yan, I want him."
She spread out her fair hands and added with a smile, "I have decided to use the only refining quota on him. With his ability and the contract with Taoist Master Chuci, he is definitely the best choice."
The gemstone powder was transformed into pure spiritual energy by Princess Morning Star and used as a string to deliver it to Miss Chen.
The skirt of the Heroic Girl, who originally looked and had a temperament very similar to that of Princess Morningstar, caught fire, turning her pink skirt into the color of flames.
The gentle bun was turned into a high ponytail, and the pretty face that had hidden its sharpness became completely more gorgeous.
It was exactly the attire that "Chu Ci" had seen in Qinglu Mountain!
The gem on Princess Morningstar's dress turned out to be a highly concentrated spirit stone many times larger than normal, which directly pushed her heroic spirit into awakening mode!
The standard size of the spiritual stones on the market is about half the size of the little finger nail. The non-standard spiritual stones Wu Ci got from Black Cat were uneven in size, with only a few being as big as the little finger nail.
The smallest gems Princess Morningstar inlaid on the hem of her skirt were as big as a pigeon egg, and the largest ones were as big as a baby's fist, and they covered the entire skirt!
Because they were too huge and their color was different from normal spirit stones, Wu Ci had never even suspected that those things were spirit stones!
The taxpayers' money goes to the country, but this is how the royal family squanders it?!
Princess Chenxing had said that she had so much money, so she gave it directly to Wu Ci. Wu Ci would just follow her lead! If it weren't for the huge debt, who would be willing to work as a dog for Zhen Shanhe?
Wu Ci regretted that he had not accepted Jin Qian's invitation just now, but now that things had come to this, it was no use to regret it. Princess Morning Star had already ripped off all the gems on her skirt without any scruples, crushed them lightly, and turned them into a torrent of spiritual energy that was wasted.
Miss Chen, who received the spiritual power supply, narrowed her eyes, pulled out the Golden Lotus in her hair with one hand, turned it into a long spear and threw it towards Wu Ci.
The Blood-Refined Golden Lotus Magic Array that "Chu Ci" had seen in Qinglu Mountain rose from the ground in the lotus halo under Wu Ci's feet, restraining his movements!
Wu Ci originally thought that they would come up with something, but he didn't expect it to be demonic energy, a highly contagious and unstable energy that could destroy the world if not handled with care.
He reached out and touched the closed barrier. When he found that he could not get out, he frowned and asked in a low voice, "Are you going to refine me into a demonic energy for you to control?"
Princess Morning Star unfolded her feather folding fan, and a slightly smiling voice came from behind the fan, "Oh, sorry, you guessed wrong, this time it's a puppet. Sister Yan will use magic to control your brains and modify your cognition, so that you, along with Taoist Chu Ci, can be used by me. I can also let you lurk beside Zhen Shanhe and do things for me that others cannot do.
After all, other necromancers don't listen to me... But please rest assured, dear Wuci, I will use you to protect the Dark Star, and you can make a great contribution to this world."
"I didn't kill you just now, and this is how you treat me?"
Wu Ci was really angry this time and didn't even use the term "I".
"Don't be angry, dear Wuci. We all know that if you had killed me just now, it would have completely angered Lady Ines and the royal family. Director Zhen Shanhe would definitely not save your life, and would even be happy to use your death as an excuse to demand some compensation from the royal family."
Princess Morning Star stood among corpses and pools of blood. Her gorgeous, fluffy skirt was clean and beautiful, like a graceful tulip under the false sunlight.
They are soft and fragile, but because of their noble status they stand high under the false sunshine, protected by the background behind them. With the rights and abundant material conditions brought by their status, they look down sadly and fatally at the inferior people who have been squeezed dry by them and have crawled out from the bottom of the darkness through their own efforts.
She chuckled softly, "People are different, and the value of our lives is not equal. Although it is cruel to say this, it is the truth, Wuci Executor, even if you try your best and give up everything to climb to a high position, in the eyes of us who are truly in power, you can be abandoned at any time and played around with at will. I thought you should have understood this after struggling for so long in the lower level."
Wu Ci understood, Wu Ci understood, Wu Ci had understood what she said a long time ago.
In fact, from Princess Morning Star's perspective, this is also true. She is just as good as Miss Chen back then.
She works hard every day to keep the country running under the restrictions of the Sky Group. She has to handle all matters that the Special Management Bureau is not responsible for, coordinate with the government and the necromancers with special powers who do whatever they want, as well as those nobles who have nothing to do every day.
She also had to please the Queen Mother and find a way to prevent her from being displeased with her, so as to avoid imprisoning her like her brother, the Emperor of the North Pole, leaving the entire Dark Star without supervision.
In such a chaotic world, the entire planet operates smoothly under her proper arrangements.
Perhaps she really hates capital and the Sky Group that hinders the royal family's control, so she wants to kill Wu Ci and make him a puppet for her to control.
Perhaps she really is a qualified ruler, perhaps she really cares about her people, and perhaps she really loves this land without reservation, regardless of the cost, without sacrifice.
But her existence itself is a sin.
At least that's how it seems to some people.
Princess Morning Star will sacrifice some people's lives, rights and freedom to achieve her goals.
But any sacrifice that disregards the wishes of others is a sin. Those at the bottom who have no choice also want to live.
Wu Ci is not an ant that cannot resist. He can be controlled by others and make everything go according to the path arranged by Princess Morning Star.
He sighed softly and crushed the spirit stones of different sizes in his hand.
[One step to conquer the country]
Wu Ci raised his legs and stepped forward.
The joker card made of mechanical metal turned over, revealing a faceless and smirking little clown. It disintegrated under the impact of spiritual power and turned into a blue binary data stream.
The blood-refined golden lotus formation that bound him beneath his feet collapsed.
The air begins to distort in the refraction of vision and light.
Cyan spiritual energy data spread from under his feet, gravity changed, and the ground sank and expanded from him like ripples in water.
"I hate people standing on high ground and looking down on me... so..." Wu Ci took a heavy step down, "Please... come down."
The corpses and pools of blood were crushed into particles, as were the desks, documents, expensive gray-white wall decorations, the gorgeous chandeliers on the dome, and the black-and-white floor tiles of the palace...
A huge anti-gravity field pressed down! Everything within sight was crushed into dust by gravity!
