Chapter 2027: Chapter 2023: Hua Luoying’s Death
As time passed, Tang Ming and Hua Luoying’s energies began to merge on the crystal column, and the result was...
When the two energies collided, Hua Luojie suddenly widened his eyes, his body twitching, and stared at Tang Ming with a face full of terror.
"Damn, he’s not an immortal."
As soon as the energy made contact, Hua Luojie realized he had made a monumental mistake, discovering that Tang Ming did not possess immortality; he was just an extraordinarily powerful ordinary person.
This situation was completely beyond Hua Luojie’s expectations!
Tang Ming had twice been accompanied by a white spirit demon and possessed a formidable healing ability. Coupled with Hua Luoying’s accounts and his own intense desire for immortality, it finally led him to commit this fatal error.
This machine could transfer the energy from an immortal to an ordinary person, at the cost of the immortal dying!
And with two ordinary people converting like this, both would die unimaginably tragically, and the most terrifying part was that once the conversion started, it couldn’t be stopped.
"Brother, don’t worry, the pain is just part of the conversion process. Just hold on and it will pass."
Standing on the side, Hua Luoying, unaware of what had occurred, saw Hua Luojie’s pained expression and immediately began to console him.
"Damn it!"
Hua Luojie cursed and gritted his teeth, shouting, "Big brother, come here and help me straighten the spinal equipment at my back. I didn’t set it up properly just now."
"Huh? Okay, okay."
Hua Luoying’s face changed slightly and hurriedly rushed toward Hua Luojie, asking with concern, "Which equipment? How do I straighten it?"
"It’s this one."
Hua Luojie suddenly raised his hand and inserted an electronic gun-like device connected to the equipment into Hua Luoying’s abdomen.
"Ah! What are you doing?"
Hua Luoying looked at Hua Luojie in terror.
"I’m sorry, brother, I need your help."
Hua Luojie activated the anesthetic, staring coldly at Hua Luoying.
"Why... are you doing this?"
Hua Luoying, completely off guard, slumped onto Hua Luojie’s body.
"Because Tang Ming isn’t an immortal, if there’s no immortal energy to convert with me, I’m as good as dead."
Hua Luojie quickly inserted another metal instrument into Hua Luoying’s body: "From the start, I aimed to gain immortality; that’s why I engaged in this research. Since the technology was immature before, I used you as an experiment, turning you into an immortal.
You’ve lived comfortably for so long, now giving me the immortality isn’t really a loss."
Hua Luoying moved his lips, but his body completely lost feeling. He never imagined that his emotionally deficient, self-reliant little brother would be so cunning and calculating, realizing at the end that he was the real fool!
"Don’t blame me; if a man doesn’t serve himself, the heavens and earth destroy him. Blame only that you mistook the target."
Hua Luojie reached out to close Hua Luoying’s eyes: "If Tang Ming were an immortal, we brothers could share the eternity. But now, one must die, so it can only be you, brother, to fulfill me."
Hua Luoying, already unconscious, had no means to face the suddenly changed Hua Luojie and could only despair as he sensed his inner energy rapidly depleting.
"Fine! Even though Tang Ming isn’t an immortal, he still possesses a formidable healing ability. I’ll just convert both of your energies to myself, surely I’ll be stronger than big brother."
After a moment of sentiment, Hua Luojie then stared excitedly at the crystal column.
Soon, Hua Luoying’s energy also flowed into the crystal column through those two devices, and this time Hua Luojie smiled, feeling the everlasting, never-extinguishing energy aura.
"Finally, success is near. With my intelligence, once I become immortal, I can rule the world and usher humanity into a higher civilization, I..."
Just as Hua Luojie envisioned a bright future, his body suddenly twitched, now feeling as if he was the one being converted, failing to absorb the immortal energy, his vitality rapidly depleting.
"Ha ha, so that’s how Hua Luoying’s immortal ability came about. I really must thank you brothers."
At this moment, Tang Ming, who had remained comatose, suddenly opened his eyes, smiling at Hua Luojie.
"How did you wake up?"
Hua Luojie stared at Tang Ming in shock.
"I was never anesthetized, so naturally, I could wake up."
Tang Ming lightly smiled, forcefully breaking free from the chains binding his hands and feet, feeling the surging energy continuously flowing into his body, while he looked playfully at Hua Luojie: "The domestic matters have concluded, and I was just worried about escaping the encirclement when your brother and Left Hand jumped out, so of course I took the hitchhiker’s ride."
"It was only after hearing your conversation in the car about the immortality conversion that I decided to come along for fun."
Looking at Hua Luojie, Tang Ming chuckled, "No wonder all big forces want you. You truly grasp such advanced technology. You’re indeed a remarkable genius."
"Damn it, give it back to me! It’s all mine..."
Sweating profusely, Hua Luojie tried to pull the energy back into his body with his mind.
"Isn’t it a bit too arrogant for an ordinary person like you to challenge my will?"
Tang Ming sneered, his body impervious to all poisons, the anesthetic was ineffective against him. Instead, it allowed the Dust Gu to absorb ample energy to restore its strength; otherwise, even he would have taken several days to recover in such a previous state.
"You bastard, you damned bastard, you calculated against us."
While twitching, Hua Luojie crazily raised his hand towards the instruments on Hua Luoying: "Even if it means mutual destruction, I won’t let you enjoy my achievements."
"Woosh!"
Tang Ming raised his hand, shooting out a Sword Qi that pierced through Hua Luojie’s arm joint, then continued to attack, severing Hua Luojie’s meridians.
"Haha, it seems I only need to absorb Hua Luoying’s immortal energy, while you’re just a burden. It’s not really a problem to cripple you, right?"
After disabling Hua Luojie, Tang Ming took a deep breath, pondering: "Indeed, it’s a truly captivating energy. I’ve devoured countless energies, yet I’ve never seen anything like it, even among all the energy attributes in the Heavenly Mechanism Hundred Changes. It’s exhilarating."
"Tang Ming, you beast, to calculate against us like this, you won’t die a good death."
With his body unable to move, Hua Luojie could only watch as his and his brother’s energy was converted by Tang Ming, cursing through gritted teeth.
"Haha, it seems that after this conversion, I’ll have an undying body. How do you plan for me to die poorly?"
Tang Ming grinned, looking at Hua Luojie.
