Yuan Tiangang's poison gas was incredibly potent, so much so that even emperors with immense mental fortitude felt their bodies and minds ravaged. Cheng Yaojin, Li Xiaogong, and Yuchi Jingde followed closely behind Li Shimin as they charged in.
In the ensuing chaos, Fang Er found himself unable to intervene. "Quick, you protect the control console! Don't let anyone damage any equipment in the fight!" he instructed Xiang Sitong, casting a fierce glare at Yuan Tiangang before reluctantly chasing after Li Shimin and the others.
On the White Emperor, the ion cannons had already proven ineffective against these three-bodied beings. Thus, everyone now wielded impossibly sharp sabers. The bridge was vast, housing hundreds of the three-bodied beings at work, and their armaments remained unknown. Yet, neither Li Shimin nor Qin Shi Huang displayed any hint of fear. Their commanding presence was absolute.
"Die!" Qin Shi Huang thrust his saber, sending an approaching three-bodied being flying. Though the saber failed to pierce its attire, it inflicted considerable internal injuries. The being, standing at about 1.2 meters, was propelled over ten meters before crashing against the bulkhead, sliding down with a scream, unable to rise again.
"Morning star!" Fang Er, engaged in combat, paused as he heard Li Shimin call out the word.
"What?"
"Give me morning stars!" Li Shimin pointed at the three-bodied beings. "In this situation, blunt weapons would be more effective!"
Fang Er immediately understood. With a flick of his wrist, several maces appeared. Li Shimin, accustomed to such situations, readily picked one up and swung it at a three-bodied being. These maces had been collected by Fang Er from the Song-Jin battlefield, each weighing at least sixty to seventy jin. Their movement through the air produced a chilling sound.
"Bang!" Another three-bodied being was sent flying, its life extinguished before it could even scream. With the physiques of Li Shimin and his companions, wielding cold weapons against these small creatures was akin to bullying children.
However, the one-sided advantage did not last long. The three-bodied beings soon produced their own weapons. Some drew ion cannons, while others wielded laser weapons that extended into nearly meter-long beams, functioning like swords, slicing anything in their path in two. But more prevalent were the small spheres that could transform into nets.
"Anzhi, save me!" Fang Er was startled by Li Xiaogong's cry for help. He turned to see the unfortunate ninth prince ensnared by a net once more, writhing on the ground like a maggot. Fang Er navigated through the three-bodied beings, rescuing Li Xiaogong from the net. Just then, he saw Ge Luoyang's hand severed at the palm by a laser sword.
"Old Ge!" Wang Xuance also witnessed this, but despite his efforts, he could not break free from the fray to offer support.
"I say, let there be fire!" At this moment, Li Shimin's almost divine voice echoed. With a boom, a circle of fire erupted around Ge Luoyang, shielding him completely. Everyone was astonished. Li Shimin had previously only managed small flames capable of lighting a cigarette. How had he achieved this?
Yet, what truly bewildered Fang Er was yet to come. As if in a contest, Qin Shi Huang let out a roar. "I say, let there be wind!" As his words fell, Ge Luoyang, within the fiery circle, felt a powerful gust of air descend from above. "Boom!" The air current swirled the flames, scattering them instantly towards the surrounding three-bodied beings.
"Superpowers! You are indeed damned superpowered beings!" The three-bodied captain's expression contorted at the sight. "Kill them all!" "Superpowered beings must die!" "Yes!" Initially, the three-bodied beings had attempted to capture their opponents alive. But at this command, they unleashed attacks designed for fatal blows. Whether it was laser swords or ion cannons, they targeted the heads of their adversaries.
"I, Old Cheng, say, have you asked me first!" Seeing Li Shimin and Qin Shi Huang unleash their ultimate moves, Cheng Yaojin refused to be outdone. With a swing of his arms, the black armor on his body extended several meters, forming two bladed whips. "Swish!" With a single whip, several heads were severed. While the three-bodied beings' attire offered high defense, parts of their bodies remained exposed!
All of them were seasoned veterans of countless battles, aided by the brainwave enhancement. Despite being outnumbered, they held their ground.
"Stop!" Suddenly, Fang Er's loud command rang out. Everyone turned to look. Fang Er, standing beside him, was holding a battle axe. Li Shimin's mouth twitched unnaturally. If that thing detonated, no one present would survive.
"Did you not hear me tell you to stop?" Yuan Tiangang appeared behind Fang Er, wearing the glove that had been confiscated by the three-bodied beings.
"You say stop and we stop? What do you take this captain for?" The three-bodied captain, gazing at his fallen subordinates, retorted through gritted teeth.
"Heh! Want to try?" Fang Er gave him a disdainful glance. Yuan Tiangang, hearing this, casually drew a circle in the air, and a wormhole instantly formed within the cabin.
"This is impossible!" The three-bodied captain was utterly stunned. A wormhole! He only knew that the White Emperor could open wormholes, having witnessed it firsthand before their capture. But he could never have imagined someone could open a small wormhole so casually.
While the captain was bewildered, Fang Er casually tossed the battle axe into the wormhole. The next moment, the wormhole vanished, and the holographic screen displayed the view outside the cabin. The battle axe that had disappeared into the wormhole had reappeared outside. A flash of fire ensued, and everyone understood what had happened. The battle axe had been transferred outside and detonated.
Fang Er, smiling, produced another battle axe and raised an eyebrow at the three-bodied captain. "What do you think would happen if I took them and left through the wormhole, leaving this behind before we departed?"
"Heh, I don't believe it!" Unexpectedly, the three-bodied captain did not yield. Instead, he provocatively raised his laser sword towards Fang Er. "Come on, continue!"
