In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

#285 - Saber Beast and Peace Talks

Wang Ji, using his spiritual sense, watched the bewildered Old Zheng, and couldn't help but feel a little… amused.

Who would have thought that this guy would also have to face pressure to get married one day!

Fortunately, because this occasion was relatively formal, before Zheng Shiduo could stammer out more than a few words, Zhou Zhengde, who was good at handling such situations, stood up and exchanged a few polite greetings with Zheng Tianyuan, showering Zheng Shiduo with praise, saying that Old Zheng was a warrior with a firm human stance, bearing immense pain, and an important force in prompting the Commander-in-Chief to change his views on spirit users, which brought a smile to Zheng Tianyuan's face.

Dongfang Zhenghong looked at Angel and Li Weiqi, who were wearing military uniforms but without badges, and said with a smile and gentle voice:

"I have prepared a reception room on the first floor."

"Since you two have arrived here today in the name of the Space Fortress, as long as you don't engage in any excessive behavior, we will treat you with the hospitality due to guests."

"If you two don't want to be guests, we also have ample combat readiness here."

Dongfang Zhenghong slightly raised his hand, and a circle of high-level mechanical bodies simultaneously took a step forward, while several semi-human mechs hiding in distant firing positions symbolically adjusted the angle of their laser cannons.

Angel's smile remained confident: "Please rest assured, if all you have here is the power you're displaying, then even if I wanted to act excessively, there wouldn't be any obstacles."

"You two!"

Zheng Tianyuan frowned and said:

"Don't start with such a strong smell of gunpowder right away!"

"Just give our Space Fortress some face, regardless of whether it will succeed or not, let's sit down and talk first. There are two Pillar-level Blade Beasts with awakening levels of eighty-five percent and forty-eight percent respectively."

Dongfang Zhenghong nodded with a smile, not saying much, and was about to turn around to invite them in when a low, hoarse male voice suddenly came from the side:

"Let's just do it here, no need to go down."

Everyone was visibly stunned.

Angel's body was covered in goosebumps, and she frowned as she looked at the rising elevator, her eyes filled with apprehension.

The elevator doors opened, and Wang Ji's battle puppet strode out.

The burly figure, the silver-white single mechanical arm, and beneath the slightly wild hairstyle, the alloy mask reflected the cold sunlight.

After half a month of recovery and enhancement, the battle puppet's Buddha-Devil Dao coexisted, and the spiritual energy within its body had been completely transformed into magical power. The powerful aura it exuded at this moment made Angel feel a slight sense of oppression.

Xing Tian?

Just as Angel was about to speak, Zhou Zhengde smiled and said: "Didn't you say you couldn't come up… Teacher Xing."

"A guest has arrived."

Wang Ji glanced at Angel and said indifferently:

"Let's negotiate here. Commander Dongfang, have some tables and chairs moved over. We'll hold the reception here today."

Dongfang Zhenghong slowly nodded: "Alright, Teacher Xing."

It was still the young man Zhou Zhengde who had a good head on his shoulders; he almost blurted it out just now.

Wang Ji controlled the battle puppet to approach, and Angel subconsciously took two steps back.

The Daoist suddenly smiled: "Such little courage, and you still came here as an envoy?"

Angel chuckled awkwardly: "How can I compare to Senior Xing Tian, who joined the mysterious Black Storm and severely damaged the Spirit Energy Capital that nurtured you for decades."

"Nurtured? You call that nurturing?"

Wang Ji raised his voice, his acting skills instantly maxing out.

He said indifferently: "They were just training some lackeys."

"And now?" Angel sneered, "Aren't you their lackey now?"

"This is not the same," Wang Ji controlled the battle puppet to walk past Angel, "Now I am on the right path, doing the right thing, overcoming obstacles, fighting against Blade Beasts, and saving the human world."

Angel's expression was somewhat… disgusted.

"Hearing such things from the mouth of a notorious person like you only makes me wonder if Commander-in-Chief Fu Jian has an accurate standard for describing justice."

The surrounding people watched the verbal clash between these two 'S-level spirit users', unsure of what to say for a moment.

"Captain!"

Li Weiqi stepped forward decisively and said quickly:

"We are here today to discuss cooperation, and cooperation means… setting aside past grievances and facing the enemies that threaten human civilization."

Angel slowly nodded, not speaking further.

Wang Ji chuckled inwardly.

This young man is not bad; it seems like he spared his life last time, letting him take a message to the Spirit Energy Capital?

The Daoist didn't pay much attention.

He walked behind the newly moved long table and sat down, locking his spiritual sense on the figure rushing from afar, and slightly transmitted his voice to Dongfang Zhenghong.

Soon, the sound and trails of missile launches appeared on the left and right;

Hundreds of guns and cannons in the surface military camp, far and near, simultaneously locked onto the black shadow advancing at low altitude.

Successive explosions were heard;

The air seemed to become somewhat燥热.

Plumes of smoke from the explosions appeared in the desert, getting closer and closer to the surface military camp.

Everyone was already sitting behind several tables.

Zheng Shiduo stood obediently behind Wang Ji's battle puppet, not daring to look at Minister Zheng Tianyuan, but pondering whether he should acknowledge this biological father.

In front, a black shadow sped across the ground.

Angel was visibly surprised: "The Beast God Sect? I sensed crystal core fluctuations! You even arranged to negotiate with a Blade Beast?"

Wang Ji ignored the middle-aged woman and snapped his fingers at Zheng Shiduo.

"Stop him."

"Yes, Teacher Xing," Zheng Shiduo, in front of Angel, placed his left hand on the bracelet on his right wrist. The bracelet flickered with a soft light, and Zheng Shiduo immediately had a fully charged mid-tier annihilation cannon for armored vehicles in his hand, aiming and firing at the rushing figure.

The group of high-level mechanical bodies and semi-human mechs around them had not yet received Dongfang Zhenghong's orders and did not take action at this moment.

The black shadow swayed left and right on the sand dunes, leaving several afterimages, and the annihilation cannon shot directly into the air.

Wang Ji's spiritual sense could capture the slight, mocking smile on the corner of the Beast God Sect spirit user's mouth, as he continued to charge towards the camp.

Wang Ji looked at Zheng Shiduo, who immediately understood, picked up the sword pill, and threw it far into the desert with all his might.

Spiritual sense locked, flying sword unleashed!

A silver light flashed above the desert, and the flying sword seemed capable of piercing through the universe!

Zheng Shiduo's action was actually just giving Angel and the others a false impression;

The flying sword was actually being controlled by Wang Ji, using the battle puppet's magic power and Wang Ji's own spiritual sense.

The flying sword instantly reached the Beast God Sect spirit user, stabbing and slashing horizontally, forcing the spirit user to dodge clumsily, unable to retaliate.

Wang Ji showed no mercy, the flying sword vibrating left and right at high frequency, emitting streams of cold light. Finally, dozens of streams of cold light burst out simultaneously. The Beast God Sect spirit user had no time to dodge, fully supporting a spiritual energy shield, and then the scene of being 'pierced by ten thousand arrows' unfolded.

The flying sword pierced through the person's chest, circled in the air, and flew back towards the military camp, transforming into a sword pill, which Zheng Shiduo caught with a wave of his hand and sent back into the bracelet on his wrist.

Old Zheng almost 'screamed' out in pleasure.

His Brother Wang, even showing off includes him!

But for Wang Ji, this was just a bit of a firepower demonstration.

Angel stared intently at Zheng Shiduo's wrist.

In just seventy seconds, she had been shocked three or four times. All of this was so unfamiliar, yet… so powerful.

A front-line spirit user with a B-level energy reaction killed a Beast God Sect spirit user with a near S-level energy reaction. Although the Beast God Sect had undergone crystal core modification, and there was a lot of exaggeration, but this…

That cold weapon longsword that could fly on its own…

Angel suddenly remembered a piece of intelligence, a piece of intelligence that had been labeled 'fallacy' by the Six Elders. The intelligence stated that Xing Tian, with the help of the Black Storm, had terminated Spirit Cultivator Number Four.

— According to the Six Elders, Spirit Cultivator Number Four was contaminated by an evil energy, his mind was confused, and then he was taken out by Spirit Cultivator Number Five.

For some reason, Angel suddenly believed that piece of intelligence now.

Dongfang Zhenghong asked: "Teacher Xing, this Beast God Sect spirit user came alone, most likely to negotiate with us, and we just killed him…"

"It doesn't matter."

Wang Ji said simply:

"There's another guy cowering behind."

"This is actually a test from the Blade Beasts. They first send a guy to break in by force. If we can't even stop this guy, then they have no need to negotiate politely."

"Don't believe me, just look…"

Almost as soon as he finished speaking, a familiar sound came from afar.

Goo—

Everyone simultaneously had a voice that sounded like metal scraping against a glass plate in their minds:

"Cultivator, I think we can talk again."

Wang Ji spread his hands.

Dongfang Zhenghong smiled wryly and immediately ordered the high-level mechanical bodies next to him to turn on the photography equipment.

There was actually a small detail here.

In order to reduce the risk of contact with spirit users, Dongfang Zhenghong and Zhou Zhengde did not bring any adjutants or assistants. There were almost only the two of them, ordinary humans, sitting in the middle of this circle of semi-human mechs and spirit users.

Zheng Tianyuan leaned on his civilized cane, curiously watching the figure constantly approaching in the desert, and asked seemingly casually:

"I heard some strange voice, it said it wanted to talk again, right? Have you contacted them before?"

"Yes," Zhou Zhengde said from the side, "After careful consideration by the Commander-in-Chief, this information has not been made public to avoid causing panic."

"Oh? What exactly did you talk about?"

"It was the situation that occurred after the Mind-Eating Worm was discovered."

Zhou Zhengde sought Dongfang Zhenghong's consent with his eyes and said quickly:

"At that time, a scavenger was controlled by a Blade Beast and came to communicate with us. Its intention was nothing more than to threaten us, and by the way, assassinate our Mr. Black Storm, giving Black Storm a mark."

"Only then did we know that Blade Beasts can understand us, but they disdain to understand us.

"Later, as the newly acquired intelligence continued to increase, we also roughly understood that the primitive civilization on our planet was affected by the flames of war between the Spirit Cultivator civilization and the Blade Beast civilization."

Zheng Tianyuan slowly nodded: "It seems that I need to go and consult with the Commander-in-Chief properly."

"Actually," Zhou Zhengde said in a deep voice, "the Space Fortress is also facing..."

"Cough!"

Dongfang Zhenghong coughed lightly, and Zhou Zhengde immediately changed his words: "Facing a choice, which is how to balance the relationship between Lingneng Capital and our local war zone."

"Is that so?"

Zheng Tianyuan nodded with a smile, his eyes slightly flickering.

The second Beast God faction Spirit Cultivator crossed the desert by means of levitation flight and has now arrived outside the military camp.

Wang Jixuan suddenly spoke: "Just stay there, any further and you'll be destroyed."

The Spirit Cultivator instantly landed, standing steadily on the yellow sand hundreds of meters away, placing his right hand on his chest, bowing his head slightly in salute, and then slowly sat down.

It spoke directly, Wang Jixuan could hear its voice with his spiritual sense:

"Cultivator, it is I."

"Oh?" Wang Jixuan spoke through the battle puppet's voice, "Garinor? Aren't you awakening your Beast God? What brings you here?"

"A Beast God is about to awaken, and I think you should already feel the threat."

"The pillar-level Blade Beast you want to awaken is not nearby, and according to the information I have obtained, you are only using the lives of ordinary Blade Beasts to resist the dormant circuits. Your Beast God will fall asleep again after a period of activity, and he should not be able to reach me here."

"That's right."

The puppet Spirit Cultivator sighed and continued:

"Previously, I was angered and wanted to awaken the Beast God at all costs and attack your human territory."

"Now, that Beast God is on the verge of being able to awaken at any time. Sacrificing some non-core individuals is not a big problem for us, just like the human body undergoes cell metabolism."

"I have recently studied the primitive civilization on this planet, and it is very interesting."

"But an all-out war at this time does not meet the expectations of both of us. The Beast God will destroy one-third of your existing civilization and kill at least sixty to seventy million of your people."

"The instigator of all this is hiding in the Arctic Circle, and the Beast God does not have enough time to move there."

"Come on," Wang Jixuan said coldly, "You said that Garinor never lies. Do you need me to describe the mobility of a pillar-level Blade Beast to you?"

The puppet Spirit Cultivator said: "The information you have obtained is only one-sided. On this planet, the Beast Gods and Spirit Cultivators have been suppressed to varying degrees, and their abilities will be relatively limited."

Suppressed? Limited?

Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

The puppet Spirit Cultivator continued: "My conditions are very simple. If you don't want to benefit the Spirit Cultivators and their spirit slaves, why not cooperate with us? You are originally an outsider, a mysterious cultivator. We do not want to anger the great civilization behind you, especially the Heavenly Dao."

"Cooperation? Then tell me your conditions."

"You have mastered Old Sophie's core circuit. Give it to me, and we will spare this planet. We will leave after killing all the Spirit Cultivators. As long as the Spirit Cultivators do not come here, we will not come here either."

Wang Jixuan was really conflicted.

The average credibility of Blade Beasts is slightly higher than that of Spirit Cultivators;

However, he and Number Five have already begun in-depth cooperation. To go back on his word at this time is not what a righteous cultivator would do.

But it concerns the lives of hundreds of millions of people...

He didn't know if his various methods could work against a pillar-level Blade Beast.

But if he compromised, what about the tens of billions of people who had already died?

Would he not avenge this blood feud?

Wang Jixuan was not wavering, but weighing the pros and cons, and found that whether he agreed or refused, there were opposing reasons.

This was not just his own business.

The puppet Spirit Cultivator said: "I can prove the credibility of my promise today in any way you can accept. As your communication with the Spirit Cultivators deepens, I think you should be able to understand how powerful our Blade Beast civilization really is."

Wang Jixuan was silent.

In the seventh level, Number Five, the Spirit Cultivator who heard his conversation with Garinor, also pursed his lips nervously.
