Chapter 859 - 298: Turns Out Lupus and Bai Fu Are in Cahoots! [5k]
Lupus was in a panic.
The people from Titan Industry could afford to wait, but he couldn't.
He had no choice. To leave before Titan Industry's reinforcements arrived, he had to use the Spiritual Ability Point he had just obtained from the Angel Envoy.
He planned to use this point to help suppress the power of the Void Lord Core within him. Using it ahead of time wouldn't completely deplete it, but it would certainly have an impact.
Lupus was furious, and when he got angry, he wanted to kill someone.
Today, he not only wanted to break through but also to leave Titan Industry with a bloody lesson!
Lei Mingdao and the others didn't expect Lupus to have such a trump card. When they realized something was amiss, it was too late to turn the situation around.
"If Galini were here, we wouldn't be in such a passive position."
But what was the point of saying this now?
Stimulated by the Ability Point, the Void Power within Lupus completely boiled over.
With a wave of his hand, he could summon terrifying forces from the Void Dimension, manipulating space like clay in his hands.
Under the dual blow of Void Power and spatial slicing, Xue Quan, the most fragile of the trio, couldn't hold on.
No!
Staying here would surely lead to death!
Xue Quan gritted her teeth and made the same choice as before—
You're on your own!
"?"
What the hell!
Seeing Xue Quan suddenly disappear, Lei Mingdao and Zero felt their heads were about to explode.
How were they supposed to deal with such unreliable teammates?
The three of them together couldn't handle the suddenly erupted Lupus, and now one had fled, making the situation even worse.
At that moment, Lei Mingdao and Zero felt that they were likely going to meet their end here.
But the good news was, between staying to kill them two and chasing down Xue Quan alone, Lupus chose the latter.
"What should we do now?" Zero asked, looking at Lei Mingdao.
Just chill.
Things had gotten so hectic, could they really go to rescue Xue Quan?
Lei Mingdao sneered.
If the Chairman really broke the rules to hold them accountable, he'd rather run away than stay in Titan Industry.
Zero asked, "How should we report to the committee afterward?"
Lei Mingdao replied, "Just report truthfully, can we be blamed? Who would've thought that Lupus was really with Bai Fu since birth? When Bai Fu got in trouble, he rescued her faster than anyone, even faster than the Oath Lord and Yuan Yi. Damn, what bad luck."
Zero's mechanical mouth opened slightly.
This was really unexpected.
Back then, Apostle Holy City declared that Lupus was Bai Fu's backing. They all thought Apostle Holy City was talking nonsense, but now...
That's it.
Let's go.
Everyone gathered and quickly flew with their injured bodies towards the nearest planet with interstellar flights.
...
On the other side.
Xue Quan fled.
Lupus pursued.
The chase lasted for over ten minutes.
In the end, Lupus couldn't catch Xue Quan. Though Xue Quan wasn't great in battle, she was definitely professional at running away.
Her illusion technique and a bunch of items frustrated Lupus terribly, and fearing getting intercepted by Titan Industry's reinforcements, Lupus had to abandon the chase for Xue Quan.
"Damn, I'm not finished with you guys, I'll be back!"
Lupus cursed as he teleported away.
Only after he had been gone for a long time did Xue Quan dare to show herself.
Though Lupus hadn't killed her, he had inflicted severe injuries on her, and she desperately needed a safe place to rest.
She dared not meet up with Lei Mingdao and the others, instead looking for a populated planet nearby to hide for a while before returning to Titan Industry.
Just as Xue Quan was about to leave, she spotted a familiar spaceship.
Wait a minute, wasn't that the spaceship of Bai Fu and Annihilation?
Why...
"I didn't expect to find love around the corner!"
Bai Fu chuckled.
She and Demetri came because they suddenly sensed the pulse of the Super Supreme battle. Thinking perhaps the Imperial reinforcements had arrived and were fighting with Titan Industry people, they decided to approach and check it out. Unexpectedly, they found the lone Xue Quan.
Perhaps it was fate!
Look, Xue Quan is injured, why don't we...
Bai Fu called upon Demetri, and the two rushed forward.
"Don't come near me!"
Xue Quan was shocked, panicking as she started to flee once more.
Her power was stronger than Galini's, but not by much, leaving her helpless against Demetri. She could only rely on her illusion technique and escape gadgets.
Unfortunately, her illusion technique was severely diminished in front of Bai Fu's [Supreme Pure Heart].
Trying to escape?
Ha!
Kabay, block her way for me!
After being spun around like a top by Bai Fu and Demetri, Xue Quan still cried out as her body was shattered, and her soul was locked away by Bai Fu's Heavenly Ark, joining Galini's company.
"Bai Fu, I was wrong!"
Trapped inside the "Glass Bead," even Xue Quan's Spirit Soul Sound quivered with fear.
"You don't realize you're wrong; you're just worried about dying. But don't worry, I won't kill you."
Bai Fu smiled, comforting Xue Quan.
Such a good reform subject, killing her would be such a waste.
Although killing her could yield a lot of Experience, Bai Fu thought carefully and decided that keeping Galini and Xue Quan alive would be more profitable.
For one, she wasn't yet ready to fully go to war with Titan Industry, given the looming threats of Apostle Holy City and the Painter outside.
