Chapter 53 A Sword that Runs Rampant in the Apocalypse (53)

Ding Jing let out a bitter laugh. She knew full well, but she had no other choice, living was the only chance for revenge.

Ji Mengmeng sneered coldly, Shi Moxuan also looked at Bai Tang with malice.

“Ding Jing, if you don’t make your move, don’t even think about living!”

Ding Jing once again raised her fruit knife, filled with hatred, slowly stabbing towards her face. Ji Mengmeng became even more joyful.

Bai Tang let out a sigh, “Isn’t it just a healing ability? Level 6, what’s the big deal? Little sister, don’t destroy your face, come join our team.”

Bai Tang raised her hand, and a faint golden light enveloped Ji Mengmeng. Ji Mengmeng could clearly feel her ability level rapidly dropping.

“Stop it! What are you going to do to me? My abilities!”

Faced with Bai Tang’s gaze, Ji Mengmeng panicked.

Qu Qingzi and Chen Songjin hurried to help Ding Jing over. Shi Moxuan unconsciously moved further away from Ji Mengmeng. He was still injured and didn’t want to be dragged into this.

Bai Tang said innocently, “This healing ability is too wasted in your body. It’s been contaminated and not used in the right way. I may not have an ability, but taking your crystal core is very easy.”

A golden, prismatic crystal core surrounded by warm, radiant light emerged from Ji Mengmeng’s head and flew into Bai Tang’s palm. It hovered there quietly as Bai Tang examined it. Those who had seen Bai Tang remove crystal cores before were surprised but not shocked. But for those who had never seen her use this method before, they were horrified.

Ji Mengmeng suddenly lost all her strength and collapsed helplessly on the ground, staring hatefully at Bai Tang.

Bai Tang’s expression was one of slight disgust. Such a good healing ability was wasted by Ji Mengmeng, who had chosen to use it for evil instead of good. Now, the core was pure and good.

Bai Tang surveyed her team and gestured for Tang Manli to come over. “Manli, come here,” she said.

Tang Manli quickly ran over with her iron rod, “Captain Sister, I’m here.”

Bai Tang handed the crystal core to Tang Manli and patted her shoulder. “Don’t disappoint this healing crystal core as it can distinguish between good and evil, and right from wrong. If you ever stray from the right path, it will explode in your brain.”

Tang Manli was serious and excited, “Thank you, Captain Sister. If ever I have such thoughts, I won’t need the crystal core to explode within me. I will kill myself first. I will go heal that girl now, Captain Sister.”

Bai Tang nodded, and Tang Manli quickly ran over to heal Ding Jing.

Bai Tang added, “You can also try using it on Gutsy Guts and the others.”

“Give me back my abilities! Give them back to me!”

Ji Mengmeng’s voice was filled with desperation, as if someone had ripped a piece of meat from her body.

Shi Minzhi laughed cruelly, “Going by Shi Moxuan’s personality, he’ll quickly enter the base and Ji Mengmeng will no longer be of any use to him. He’ll squeeze every last drop of value out of her. Once he’s in the base, he’ll spread word of how you were able to acquire other people’s crystal cores. At that point, little Captain, you will become a thorn in many people’s side and they’ll use you as leverage. If you don’t cooperate, they’ll threaten and manipulate you.”

Shi Minzhi kindly shared his insight with Bai Tang.

This, again, had cost her how much of her cultivation? The more threats she faced, the faster her cultivation dissipated. So, Shi Moxuan mustn’t die yet.

Bai Tang didn’t care, “Instead of scheming against me, why not worry about the alien monsters outside of Earth?”

Shi Minzhi reminded her, “Little Captain, since he was a child, Shi Moxuan learned from his mother on how to twist right and wrong. My father, that dead ghost, actually believed that it was my mother’s fault that he couldn’t be with his first love. He beat and scolded us endlessly. When I was four, his mistress and illegitimate child moved in with us, driving my mother insane.”

Bai Tang let out a long sigh, “He really knows how to play the game.”
