Xianwei devised a plan,
"Why don’t we have a serious fight, until the sky collapses and the earth shatters, and let the aftermath turn this bunch of scum into minced meat?"
Tie Dan coldly said,
"Get lost, you’re no good either."
The legion doesn’t consist of just one Spider, there are also Bald Lizards and a heap of extinct creatures from a different world. Not to mention killing this one, who knows if the next one would be so easy to talk to. If we really damage the ship, returning home might become even more distant.
Moreover, this Xianwei is the least trustworthy. He plays the role of a Penglai cultivator in the Divine Sense Illusion Realm, yet knows nothing about Penglai and the Mystic Sect. Looking at his true form as a parasite, perhaps he’s seized and killed all these Penglai cultivators, making him a bigger threat than the legion. After all, he can parasitize a Three-headed Whale or a Turtle, so why not Yazi?
"Brother Xuantian, have you made up your mind?"
Meanwhile, a message from Spider Xi also came from the other side of the ear,
"Just agree to be the General’s slave, and you can go home!"
Tie Dan replied,
"I refuse."
Spider Xi was puzzled,
"Why?"
Tie Dan said,
"No matter what decision I make now, I can’t rule out that it’s being manipulated by you behind the scenes. Moreover, I know too little about your legion, the information gap is too large, I will not board this pirate ship under unclear circumstances."
Spider Xi was somewhat helpless,
"But you’re already on the ship..."
Tie Dan naturally understood what the other party meant, now with the Spider and the Balds working together, the legion can completely ignore Tie Dan’s personal wishes and use the Vengeful Eye Dao Body. Originally, it was like being a slave, no need to ask his opinion, now they add titles like ’engagement partner’ and ’captain’, it’s just for show.
But Tie Dan wasn’t truly helpless. This time, he actively let his Primordial Spirit emerge, abandoned the Dao Body, and flew to a nearby meteorite,
"Although I still can’t truly solve your Primordial Spirit Binding Method, but after being trapped for so long, repeatedly forced to emerge, I have some insights, watch."
"Shhh!"
As Tie Dan raised his hand, a soft sword shot from his fingertip, wrapping around a passing mecha. The mecha was startled! It quickly raised its hands to surrender, but was swiftly cut through the limbs by the soft sword, even the soldier in the cockpit was encircled by the Sword Circle, curling up into a ball, not daring to cross the line.
Tie Dan, expressionless, rubbed his fingers, twisting the soft sword finer and finer, until it turned into a shimmering thread. The thread no longer sliced through alloy and flesh, but delved into the unlucky trembling soldier’s body, connecting with his nerves, making him twitch as if having a seizure.
"The previous bald-headed technique was a four-person chorus, through cooperative resonance, in an instant, they exceeded the peak value of the primordial spirit resonance wave to overpower me and force my spirit out, taking the opportunity to seize my Dao Body.
And you are even more formidable, with a primordial spirit strong enough to be on par with cultivators of the Refining God and Returning to Void level, with advanced mastery of control techniques, incomparable skills. To illustrate, you focus all of your primordial spirit power on a single thread, a single needle, attacking a single point.
Even if I use the Primordial Spirit Shielding Method to enhance spiritual defense, in the contest at this singular point, I can’t withstand your breakthrough, and you will attack into my Divine Court and seize control."
Spider Xi praised,
"You’re impressive, Brother Xuantian, seeing through the intricacies so quickly."
Tie Dan pulled back the Primordial Spirit Line, the soldier convulsed as if electrocuted, twitching uncontrollably, foaming at the mouth as he wet himself.
"Understanding is one thing, executing is another, I think it’ll take decades of practice to reach the point of being able to control it so effortlessly as you do."
Spider Xi was curious,
"Don’t you want to go to Earth anymore?"
Tie Dan laid it on the table,
"Heh, go if you love to, did you really think such petty tricks would threaten me? I just realized, not only can’t you handle me, you can’t deal with that parasite either. With so many Taoist Ancestors and Lords entrenched in the Taiji Realm, how many can you handle?
These little tricks might work when I’m off guard, but when used often, there are always ways to counter. We can truly withstand the Entropy Energy Splitting Cannon; can you?
So I can afford to wait, I’ve already lived over five hundred years, closing myself off for another five hundred is nothing. With your refined Primordial Spirit Method beside me for practice partners, I do believe I will one day evolve abilities sufficient to retaliate.
When you are of no use to me, I can just seize the ship and return, it’s all the same."
Spider Xi fell silent, seemingly communicating with Jizhou over there.
After all, Tie Dan was right, he really can wait. He is an Evolution Beast, the Child of the Stars, already refining God and returning to the void, surpassing the limits of life, and he will continue to break through, to evolve. Five hundred years, a thousand years, hundreds or thousands of sequences mean nothing, eventually, he will escape the spider’s net and be beyond the legion’s control.
But the legion can’t wait any longer, if they delay further, humanity’s suppressive fleet will truly arrive.
So Spider Xi, after some communication, brought a revised proposal from the Jizhou,
"If you really won’t get engaged, how about a short-term lease? The legion hires on a basis of three sequences, deposits and three installments, no refund on breaches, you can pay by card."
