’Damn it, how useless are two twins?’ Terogene Khan cursed. He knew there was no way Song Luli could defeat Bai Qi, but she only needed to hold on a little longer. He exhaled to calm down, trying to think of a solution.
"Whatever they paid you," Bai Qi said in a harsh, almost inhuman voice. "Is it worth your life?"
Terogene Khan squinted. "No, it’s not worth it."
"I can pay you more," Wang Wei suddenly said directly into his mind. "I have even more data."
"This is not about any reward, and you know it," Terogene replied. The puppet was a master of defense, and Bai Qi’s Slaughter Dao was the epitome of attacking-based Dao. It took Terogene so much to deal with one, meaning he had no choice but to deal with both. And if they work together to find his Time Mark, the result of this fight will not be Limbo, but true death.
"You just need to buy a little more time," Wang Wei persuaded.
"Our contract was to stop one Primal, and I told you I would prioritize my safety," Terogene continued. "I’m sorry, but this is as far as I’m willing to interfere in the affairs of the Overlords." Terogene no longer hesitated and teleported away, washing his hands clean of this entire event. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Shit," Wang Wei cursed. If this bastard had given him a few minutes, he could have convinced Cao Sicong to support him. He calmed down, using this event as a learning opportunity. Before Mongke becomes the Khan and a Primal, the Barbarian Race is not as much of a reliable ally as he thinks.
Bai Qi glanced at him. His eyes flashed with a red hue full of desire for slaughter, but it quickly dissipated. The Killing God turned to the puppet: "Now, there is no excuse to fail his majesty’s orders."
The puppet said very little, except to teleport back to the Origin Seal Continent. He raised his hand to use the same attack he used on the Khan, but the target was the city underneath him. Bai Qi followed him by summoning a river of blood that slowly turned into a red spear.
Bang!
The city’s defensive array trembled before cracks spread over a few hundred meters of its surface area. However, before they could rejoice, another power materialized and instantly fixed the damage. A tinge of surprise flashed in the attacker’s eyes. Even without someone managing the array, or considering that a significant portion of its power was diverted to something else, this array could still block the full power of two elite primals.
’No wonder his majesty thinks she is his greatest threat in the race of transcendence,’ Bai Qi thought. He summoned another river of blood, but this one was also accompanied by souls full of resentment. Meanwhile, the Terracotta General’s sword grew from a few thousand meters to ten thousand meters.
’I need a plan, and I need it quick,’ Wang Wei thought, trying to remain calm in these circumstances. His focus was on dealing with this annoying assassin, and he could not free himself. ’Let me do a quick check on Song Luli first.’ His wife would be devastated if something were to happen to her disciple, so Wang Wei wanted to anticipate the situation.
He used the karma link to her. Luckily, she was alive — albeit in a weak state. It seems even with the support of the continent’s artificial Construct, Bai Qi outclassed her.
’Wait, the six Constructs,’ Wang Wei realized. Now that she was not using them, he could. He did not hesitate to borrow their powers. Six magic circles suddenly manifested above the city’s defensive array, before condensing into a six-layer protective shield. The combined attacks of these penetrated two layers, but the interesting part of this six-layer shield is its connection; the four intact layers immediately used their powers to repair the damaged parts.
Bai Qi glanced at him, and without any signs, a blood rain started falling on Wang Wei’s body. The six-layer shield manifested around him, showing that the city’s formation also protected him. Bai Qi narrowed his eyes. "Take out the talisman."
The general summoned the Anti-Array Talisman and activated it. The talisman flew into the sky, blessing the two of them with its power. They attacked and successfully penetrated three layers of defense. Bai Qi immediately showed an annoyed look before summoning three Grand Constructs: Source Qi Space, River of Time, and Six Paths Samsara.
With his strength as an A-Class Primal, he went all out. The puppet did not attack, but used a skill that allowed him to further boost Bai Qi’s attack potency. So, as the enormous blood spear fell on Origin Seal City, four of the six-layer defenses were penetrated.
’This defense is better than Qin’s old array,’ Bai Qi analyzed. Without mastering the pendant and upgrading the dynasty’s protective array, they would not be able to compete. Qin has always been proud of their defensive capabilities since what they did during the Devil Conquest. However, this place has long surpassed their achievements, and they were just unaware.
