"Luo Nie! Do you still know who you are?" Wang Qi roared. "If you do, then wake the hell up!"
The high-speed golden treasure wheel spun once more, unleashing a surging torrent of Sword Qi that cleaved through the heavens and shot toward the Ice Corpse.
Wang Qi had never expected some hot-blooded comic-book scenario where shouting a few lines would let an ally controlled by the enemy break free from brainwashing—especially when he barely knew this fellow called Luo Nie.
The reason he did this was to probe the other party's "behavioral pattern."
This was also the most important point after coming into contact with alien beings. Whether it had been the Zhengtian Division's first contact with the Sea God, his earlier contact with Laud, or even his battle against Wish Fulfillment, all had been based on this line of thought. The first clash was meant to test for "information."
—This guy had devoured human souls and mastered part of human knowledge, which meant he had become capable of communication!
—And the reason he had sent this Ice Corpse here... might have been to communicate!
"Luo Nie" opened his mouth, maintaining that eerie smile as his lips moved. "I, Luo Nie... am from Leiyang... Welcome, everyone... to come... and settle down."
An even greater cold current slammed into the Flying Escape Magical Item Wang Qi controlled. Blue liquid washed over it gently, yet carried an irresistible force.
Wang Qi felt a chill. Even the blazing Heavenly Sword Qi could not avoid having its temperature stolen away by that inexplicable power.
"You say welcome... but you're really not holding back!"
Hundreds of strands of Sword Qi scattered through the air like celestial maidens scattering flowers. At Wang Qi's command, they turned and swept toward the Ice Corpse from every direction.
