Chapter 904: Stealing Pinnacle!

*Whoosh~*

The warbot flashed as it thrust its sharp arm to Qing He’s head!

This attack was far too shocking! No one would have expected this warbot to lock onto Qing He the moment it appeared and attack him without hesitation!

“Not good!” Lian Taidong urgently shouted as he rushed over.

*Bang!*

His right arm rapidly grew larger, striking the warbot. At the same time, he slid forward, his left arm extended so that he could grab Qing He and pull him away from the blade.

As Pinnacle’s safety official, Lian Taidong possessed a formidable cultivation; he reacted as quickly as lightning. Unfortunately, Qing He was far too close to the warbot. How could he have ever imagined that the first thing this warbot would do when it appeared was attack him? It was as if it had recognized Qing He and considered him an enemy!

There was no time to waste, so Xia Fei had brazenly begun his plan, and the first step shocked the soul!

Just because Xia Fei was not in the main station did not mean that he could not affect it. As long as the mind was quick-witted enough, distance was no problem! Xia Fei had been able to live this long precisely because he had plenty of tricks and because he was ruthless!

*Rumble!*

With a lightning-fast punch, Lian Taidong obliterated the warbot and saved Qing He from the blade!

However, while Lian Taidong had saved Qing He, he had failed to save Qing He’s fingers!

Qing He had turned ghastly pale, his old face twisted and large beads of sweat rolling down his forehead. Meanwhile, his left hand had been neatly cut in two, and blood was gushing out!

The fingers were linked to the heart, so the pain from this blow almost drove Qing He insane!

No one had noticed that, while the warbot seemed vicious, it had actually been merciful at the last moment, the edge of its blade turning and cleaving apart Qing He’s hand. If not, Qing He would have had a precise straight line across his neck right now.

“What’s going on here?! Why did this warbot suddenly start attacking?!” asked Lian Taidong loudly.

Qing He’s face was grim. He had no idea of the danger lurking within, and even now, his mind was a complete blank. He had no idea what had gone wrong.

At this moment, Qing He and Lian Taidong saw something utterly enraging on the screen!

In the distant Research Station 12, Xia Fei was playing around with the warbot he had just created!

It was an identical warbot, both in structure and coding, yet Xia Fei’s was utterly harmless and obedient, while Qing He’s copy was a savage to the extreme! It had tried to slash at Qing He the moment it saw him!

The difference was just too extreme!

Qing He and Lian Taidong scowled, sensing that they had both been played by Xia Fei.

An employee quickly began to bind Qing He’s maimed hand, and the excruciating pain traveled straight to Qing He’s brain and made him howl.

His face pale, Qing He shoved that employee aside and stared at Xia Fei, who was far, far away.

Suddenly, Qing He crazily charged over to the main control system and slammed on a red button. This sent the signal for the space stations to combine. Normally, the main station and the twelve research stations were separated in their own regions of space, but once the linking order was given, the twelve research stations would immediately come together and combine with the main station!

Any intelligent lifeform had a weakness; Xia Fei had noticed that the cunning Qing He was extremely confident, and this was the latter’s weakness!

An overconfident person could not stand to face any setback. Once he experienced a setback, he would explode in rage and lose all rationality, becoming capable of doing even the most absurd of actions!

It was clear that the loss of his right hand by the warbot had thoroughly infuriated Qing He! He now wanted to get Xia Fei to the main station no matter what so that Lian Taidong could viciously torture him and get the secret of that AI code out of his mouth!

Patience? Qing He had very little patience right now!

Lian Taidong naturally said nothing, for he had never been in favor of Qing He’s methods. He preferred compelling the truth through brute force! Now, Qing He was doing exactly what Lian Taidong wanted, and he viciously smiled, his fists audibly popping as he clenched them.

“That’s the way! As long as you get Yin Fei over here, I’ll make him talk!” Lian Taidong heartily laughed.

…

In Station 12, Xia Fei inspected the warbot he had successfully produced while anxiously waiting.

He did not know if his plan would work, but he also understood that if he did not do anything, he would no longer have an opportunity! Thus, he had to try!

*Rumble!*

The space station suddenly began to accelerate, the surrounding stars growing distant as Station 12 moved!

The stations only changed positions every hour, and it had only been less than half an hour since the last shift. It was clear that this was not a planned move!

Xia Fei was surprised. Standing up, he went back to the main computer and began to wait.

The deep-space research station could move very quickly, and only a few minutes later, Xia Fei saw an even larger space station in the distance. This station appeared like a vase. At its top were twelve grooves; a small research station was able to embed itself in each of these grooves perfectly.

Xia Fei’s eyes brightened. It was clear that this was Pinnacle’s main base! His plan had worked even better than expected! In Qing He’s rage, he had decided to gather all of Pinnacle’s research stations!

Station 12 quickly approached. At the same time, many more identical stations appeared in the distance.

*Pa!*

Xia Fei tapped on the keyboard, sending out the signal. It now depended on Radix. As long as he could infiltrate the main system and send out his signal, Xia Fei would be able to determine whether Radix was on the main research station or not.

At this moment, the twelve robots at Xia Fei’s side seemed to receive some sort of order. They circled around Xia Fei, two of them grabbing his arms. They began to escort him to the main station.

Xia Fei did not resist as he was moved along by this squad of robots. He could see that the main station was much larger and the equipment was of better quality. Xia Fei saw two nervous researchers as he was being escorted. They looked at him with pitying gazes as if they sympathized with his situation.

*Whoosh~*

The two robots opened a door and threw him inside. At the same time, Xia Fei felt a gust of wind as a fist hurtled toward him!

This was Lian Taidong! Pinnacle’s only safety official, the fierce individual who singlehandedly ensured all of Pinnacle’s safety!

“Crafty Approach!”

Xia Fei went down using his momentum, his body moving bizarrely. His head tilted to the side, which caused Lian Taidong’s fist to brush past and miss him entirely.

While it seemed like a clumsy way of dodging, it actually required a considerable foundation in terms of skills. Xia Fei had cultivated the Crafty Approach for many years, so his movements now were extremely deceptive. Thus, it was hard to tell if he had intentionally dodged.

“Eh?” Lian Taidong frowned. Before he could see what was happening, Xia Fei had avoided his punch. This made him feel very sullen, for he thought that he had miscalculated and failed to strike his target.

Xia Fei used the time that he was falling to the ground to assess his surroundings carefully. This was the main control room of all the research stations, and about a dozen employees were busying away next to their tasks. On the side, Qing He was furiously glaring at him.

“What are you standing around for? Break this brat’s arms!” Qing He brutally ordered.

Lian Taidong loudly laughed. Pointing at Xia Fei’s nose, he said, “You heard him! Hurry up and say everything you know; save yourself the torture!”

Xia Fei ignored Lian Taidong and Qing He; his eyes were completely focused on the screen. As seconds went by, Radix could break through the main system at any moment and release his signal.

Xia Fei was now 90% sure that Radix was nearby. All Xia Fei needed was a sign, and then he could stop pretending and use his full strength!

Alas, there was still nothing on the screen. It seemed that Radix had encountered difficulties in attacking the main system.

“*Tsk!* You brat, you have no idea what’s good for you. Let me loosen up your bones a little first!”

Lian Taidong was somewhat frustrated. He grabbed Xia Fei by the arms. He was using a special martial arts move that could let him break Xia Fei’s bones the moment he seized Xia Fei’s arms!

Suddenly—

At the moment Lian Taidong moved to seize Xia Fei, the entire system broke down!

All of the lights on this enormous station lit up at once! They illuminated the sea of stars like beacons in the darkness!

All of the screens became lines of nonsense code, glitching all over!

After 0.1 second, though, the system’s madness stopped. Still, this was enough for Xia Fei to reach a conclusion!

‘Radix is here!’ Xia Fei realized, a wicked smile appearing on his lips!

There was no need to keep pretending!

*Rumble!*

Xia Fei flipped over and jumped off the ground, moving as quickly as lightning.

Peacock Blue erupted in fury! Six giant blades of grass instantly swept through the control room!

The employees were beheaded by the sharp blades before they even had time to blink, their blood splattering across the room. Lian Taidong and Qing He were swept up by Peacock Blue and held in the air, the sharp white flowers cutting at their flesh and inflicting excruciating pain on them!

“What treachery! Yin Fei, you’re a warrior?!” Lian Taidong shouted, his face livid as he glared at Xia Fei.

Peacock Blue was now extremely tough after being strengthened by the Unparting Pine, such that not even Lian Taidong and his Law Sage cultivation could not break free.

“You’re right, but it’s already too late!” Xia Fei raised an eyebrow as he spoke.

*Plush!*

Peacock Blue exerted its strength, instantly crushing Lian Taidong into a paste!

Blood splattered everywhere as Qing He’s face turned ghastly pale!

Red lights began to flash madly across the entire main space station as if it were some kind of warning signal!

Qing He forced himself to focus. His face turned savage as he snarled, “Even if you kill me, you can’t escape! Pinnacle possesses the highest safety level in the entire Fig Corporation! The emergency signal has already been sent out. In just one minute, a powerful security team will arrive! Yin Fei, you’re dead meat!”

Xia Fei was unmoved, though. He simply turned around and smiled at Qing He.

Suddenly, a giant black shadow appeared in the universe! A tunnel between this place and Dark Space had opened!

*Bang!*

An enormous golden demon chrysalis emerged. It was Little Goldie!

Since their last meeting, it had somehow grown even larger. It had once been half the size of the moon, but it was now just as large!

Little Goldie opened its mouth and swallowed up the entire space station!

Little Goldie retreated into Dark Space, and that curtain of darkness disappeared. The sea of stars was now completely with no trace left of the space station!

Qing He’s eyes went wide, unable to believe what had just happened!

This made no sense! In just a few seconds, Pinnacle Research Station had been pulled into Dark Space!

It must be understood that Pinnacle was the essence of Fig Corporation. Not only did it possess laboratories of the highest level, it also imprisoned many heaven-defying scientists like Radix!

It turned out that Xia Fei’s plan had never been to take away only Radix! He was stealing all of Pinnacle!

“One, my name isn’t Yin Fei. It’s Xia Fei!

“Two, who said that I wanted to escape? I’ve always been someone who takes!”

Xia Fei looked at Qing He and craftily smiled.
