“Those people should be ‘photoners’!
The mental waves of the mental devil suddenly turned sharp. “Hide now. Don’t let them notice us!”
At the same time, information about ‘photon’ flooded into Li Yao’s soul.
The priests of the Holy Accord Alliance were classified into different ranks according to their capability and jurisdiction. They were known as ‘Small Wizards’, ‘Great Wizards’, ‘Small Worshippers’, ‘Small Worshippers’, ‘Small Worshippers’, and ‘Great Rituals’. However, most of the priests were only
responsible for the work of faith, education, and brainwashing and did not participate in battles directly.
Priests belonged to the water race of the five tribes of the Sanctuary, and fighting was the responsibility of the Fire Clan.
However, since they were part of the core class of the Star Glory Federation, it was impossible that they did not have their own battle team. The so-called ‘photoners’ were the ‘battle priests’ who had strong combat ability and firm beliefs and were personally trained and commanded by the Great Sage.
In other words, the Photon Soldiers were the special forces directly under the command of the Great Master. They were similar to the imperial guards, and their standards were hundreds of times more stringent than those of the ordinary soldiers. Even the cleaners of the Heresy Interrogation Bureau
were far from them.
The combat ability of the yaksha squad might be on par with that of the Photon Troop, but when it came to the strength of mental power and the firmness of belief, they were far from it.
In the vast network of the Sanctuary, there was barely any information about the photon troops. Li Yao and the mental devil had only ‘heard’ that such a troop existed, but there were not many combat videos or training files.
However, such immense mental power was like a boundless electric net that was pressing down. Even Li Yao, who was lurking far away, sensed the screams and agitation of his soul. Who else could it be but ‘Photon’?
Ina trance, Li Yao seemed to see hundreds of lightning bolts as thick as arms surging out of every photon and striking the medical center ruthlessly. Thousands of lightning bolts interweaved into a storm of destruction that could almost melt steel.
It was needless to say that a body of flesh and blood would be vaporized in the blink of an eye!
Li Yao secretly clicked his tongue. He thought to himself that it was a good thing that his intuition was sharp enough to stop his movements at the last moment. If he had been one second late, he would have been the scapegoat for the puppet king—Lu Qingchen.
Dozens of ‘photon demons’ unleashed their strongest soul lightning at the same time. Even though he was the best expert of the Pangu Universe, he would still be shocked to the point that his eyes were burning!
At the same time, the thought of “this is how it should be” appeared in his mind. As expected, it was not that simple to send out a small team of yakshas and a few special forces of the God Bless Army to capture the puppet king. The so-called “Ghost Capture Plan” was just a pretense. Whether it was the
small team of yakshas, the small team of cleaners, or the special forces of the God Bless Army, they were all bait to be corroded by the puppet king. These “photon” were the real hunters. This was the real “Ghost Capture Plan”!
Had Master Zhi Shan foreseen that Eternal Brightness would be in chaos?
However, if they could capture the puppet king, their most dangerous enemy, it would be worth it even if they had to sacrifice ten Eternal Brightness.
‘These guys were indeed jackals of the same tribe. They were equally cruel, evil, and disregarded human nature and human lives!
“Master Zhi Shan has planned everything. We are determined to capture him. What should we do?”
The mental devil asked.
Li Yao was in a dilemma.
It was true that he was against the approach of Lu Qingchen, the puppet king, and that he wanted to whip, ravage, and humiliate the scumbag, but he did not want the puppet king to fall into the hands of his master.
Putting the safety of the Star Glory Federation aside, Lu Qingchen knew a lot of secrets about ‘Vulture Li Yao’ and even shared the same origin with him. The soul waves of the two of them had similar models, and it would be quite troublesome if they were captured by somebody else.
“Let’s see.”
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and said, “If the puppet king is Lu Qingchen, the guy won’t give in so easily, will he? We are ready to take him away at any time!”
Sure enough, just as this thought flashed in Li Yao’s soul, in the deepest part of the medical center, where the spiritual lightning was densest and brightest, bursts of wild and untamable laughter rang out.
For a moment, gloomy wind was blowing. The hundreds of square meters nearby seemed to have turned into a gruesome battlefield. Black smoke, air currents, swirls, and lightning were everywhere!
Negative emotions. Such intense negative emotions!
The mental devil drooled and exclaimed, “Jealousy, arrogance, fury, greed, hatred… Endless negative emotions have been released from the medical center. What—what did the puppet king—Lu Qingchen go through when he left the federation? How did he accumulate such intense negative emotions?”
“He might not have accumulated them himself. It is very likely that he ‘stolen’ them from the Psychic Temple!”
Li Yao said solemnly, “So many captives of the imperium have been captured and sent to the Psychic Temple to wash away their emotions, memories, and selves. The moment they lose everything, their pain, anger, and hatred must’ve reached their peak, and they will release negative emotions that are as
overwhelming as a tsunami. If Lu Qingchen, the puppet king, had planted his subordinates in the Psychic Temple long ago, how could he not have thought of refining the negative emotions into weapons with such precious ‘resources’?”
“Fair enough!”
‘The mental devil exclaimed, “Huh. That’s not right. Why do I feel that you’ve become smarter all of a sudden?”
“Like I said, your wisdom has been absorbed by me!”
Li Yao said, “We are one. It doesn’t matter who is smarter. In short, observe the puppet king—Lu Qingchen’s combat pattern carefully and be prepared to take advantage of him at any time!”
In the blink of an eye, dozens of photons with pure souls and firm souls had been entangled by the negative emotions floating in the air.
The negative emotions wriggled crazily on their bodies like black vipers, electric eels, and leeches, trying to find a gap through which they could enter. Their pure, holy brightness was now stained with ugly black spots.
Hesitation and pain were written all over the faces of the ‘photon demons’. Their hands blossomed like lotuses and formed thousands of different gestures. In the sacred, inviolable chants, the negative emotions were torn apart and dispersed, turning into raging black fog that could not approach them
anymore.
However, the brief pause gave the puppet king time to catch his breath and counterattack.
The hideous laughter deep inside the medical center grew more and more miserable and louder, until it finally formed an unstoppable tide.
The electric net that had been covering the medical center seemed to have been torn apart by invisible brute force. It turned into embers of electric arcs and fled in panic.
In the meantime, the darkness, evilness, and madness that seemed to be the amalgamation of thousands of negative emotions rose up slowly like an octopus rising from the bottom of the ocean.
“You think you can suppress me with nothing but puppets?”
From the depths of the darkness came the laughter of the puppet king. “In your dreams!”
Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!
Countless black lightning bolts darted out from the core of the ‘Octa~Clawed Octopus’ and pierced through the brains of every ‘photon’.
It was not a lightning that existed in the real world and could be blocked by the spiritual shield and the iron armor, but one that was more powerful than any attack in the real world.
For a moment, the eyes of all the ‘photon demons’ turned pitch black.
‘The faces of some of the photons were filled with panic and horror as if they had fallen into a nightmare. Their limbs were shaking violently, and they were foaming at the mouth.
Some of the photons gritted their teeth to resist the dark force, only to fall from the sky with blood spurting out of their orifices.
On the forehead of some of the photons, especially their temples, there were bulging veins that looked like earthworms. The veins were almost black and looked like venomous liquids. In the end, they exploded after cracking noises.
Ina moment, the suppressing array made of dozens of photons was shattered by the mental attack of the puppet king.
Li Yao, who was crouching next to him, was even more shocked and infuriated when he saw the might of the puppet king in person.
‘What’s wrong with this guy? I haven’t seen him for several years, and his soul power has soared to such an unbelievable level! It’s even more terrifying than when I saw Black Star Emperor Wu Yinggqi’s full-blown mental power at the bottom of the Gold Crystal Tower!
Li Yao had to admit that the mental devil was right.
Maybe, in the Pangu Universe, there were a few people whose talents were slightly higher than his and whose luck was slightly better than his. Therefore, their training speed was… slightly faster than his.
“Hey, the puppet king doesn’t seem to need our help. He can deal with all the ‘photon rays’ by himself easily. He is about to break free and run away.
“Are you sure you want to kidnap, tie up, and humiliate him?”
“Uh…”
Li Yao pondered carefully.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Not far away, the octopus, which was the symbol of the puppet king on the mental level and was as pure black as ink, extended all its tentacles to the maximum and waved them hard. Thunderous noises were echoing nonstop, resulting in a surging blast that broke all the ‘photon rays’. Their brains
collapsed, and they were blown away like a kite whose string had been cut off.
“You are overestimating yourself. Nobody can stop me in the world of the mind!
The puppet king burst into laughter. The dark force soared up and was about to leave.
“Tthink we have a huge advantage right now.
Li Yao said calmly, “Therefore, we might as well wait and see. What do you think?”
“I thought it was good.”
‘The mental devil said, “Then, are we going to follow him and ambush him when we have the chance?”
“Of course. It is not because we are scared of a head-on clash with him, but because we don’t need to. There is no need to care about the rules when we are dealing with the sordid, evil Cultivators. Sneak attacks are what we should do!”
Li Yao picked up the six limbs and was about to sneak behind the puppet king’s dark force when the shocking mutation broke out again.
The puppet king’s dark force had barely soared into the sky when it suddenly retreated.
Or rather, it was smashed back brutally!
