75: Chapter 75 Magic Energy Crystal
Tang Mo's words caused Tu Nie to fall into deep thought again. A moment later, Tu Nie spoke once more: "Actually, there is another way, just like what Tu Xiaoxia said—perish together with those beasts."
"During the last beast tide, you saw the magic energy assault cannon, didn't you?"
Tang Mo nodded. He still remembered the power of the magic energy assault cannon vividly, but the weapon was massive. Even if it were transported here, it would become the primary target during battle.
Facing the Dark-Winged White Tiger, it was unlikely many people could defend it.
Seemingly noticing Tang Mo's concern, Tu Nie continued:
"There's no need to transport the magic energy assault cannon here; just a few magic energy crystals will suffice."
"magic energy crystals?"
"Yes, that's right. The reason the magic energy assault cannon has such great power is that the various formations on it are merely auxiliary; the magic energy crystal is the most important component."
"Even without the auxiliary formations on the magic energy assault cannon, the power of the magic energy crystal itself is quite impressive."
"Furthermore, with your status in the Heavenly Sword Bureau, obtaining a few magic energy crystals shouldn't be a problem."
"When the time comes, by catching them off guard, we will surely achieve unexpected results."
"However, a single magic energy crystal is enough to destroy the entire Jiangkou City."
At this point, Tu Nie's expression became grave.
If it truly came to that, Jiangkou City would be completely finished.
Tang Mo also fell silent. Destroying Jiangkou City was not the outcome he wanted to see. "There must be another way!"
"If I weren't injured, I would have killed my way back to Jiangkou City directly. I doubt even if Commander of Jiangkou City Guard Army, Wang Kaiwen, and Zhao Tianba teamed up, they would be my match. It's just a pity..."
Tang Mo looked up, just about to comfort Tu Nie, when a plan suddenly popped into his mind. "I know what to do!"
After saying that, Tang Mo left Tu Nie and his daughter and ran outside.
Tu Nie hurriedly chased after him and asked: "Kid Tang Mo, what idea did you come up with?"
"Lure the snake out of its hole!"
Tang Mo quickly returned to Jiangkou City and took a taxi directly to the teleportation station.
After paying 20 gold coins, Tang Mo was teleported directly to the capital of the Great Xia Dragon Country, Xiaan City.
With no time to admire the splendor of the Great Xia capital, Tang Mo hurried without pause to the Professional Management Association in Xiaan City.
In the Great Xia Dragon Country, the Professional Management Association was equivalent to a government department.
Tang Mo directly showed the receptionist the token symbolizing his identity in the Heavenly Sword Bureau and signaled him to call the person in charge.
The receptionist immediately dialed the front desk phone.
Soon, a slightly plump man with a handlebar mustache walked out.
Su Xing took the token from Tang Mo's hand and examined it carefully.
After confirming it was genuine, Su Xing led Tang Mo into his own office and asked with some surprise:
"Why have you suddenly appeared here?"
"I need two magic energy crystals."
Su Xing was stunned for a moment. One had to know that magic energy crystals and the magic energy assault cannon were the most important strategic resources of the Great Xia Dragon Country; no one had the authority to requisition them privately.
Of course, for people from the Heavenly Sword Bureau, it was an exception.
However, the details still needed to be clarified.
"What will you use the magic energy crystals for?"
"An emergency combat mission."
"Combat target?"
"The Dark-Winged White Tiger."
After hearing Tang Mo's concise answer, Su Xing frowned slightly.
The Dark-Winged White Tiger was very strong, but the Heavenly Sword Bureau should be fully capable of handling it. Why would they need to use magic energy crystals?
"Requisitioning magic energy crystals will likely take some time."
Although puzzled, Su Xing still decided to submit the application for Tang Mo. After all, matters concerning the Heavenly Sword Bureau were not for him to question.
"Can't it be any faster? Will this work?"
Tang Mo took out the Heavenly Sword Bureau token and asked Su Xing.
"Yes, if you have the heavenly sword token, the approval from above will be very quick."
"Are you sure you want two?"
"Yes."
Subsequently, Su Xing began typing rapidly on the computer keyboard, occasionally scanning his own iris and the heavenly sword token.
After about three or four minutes, Su Xing finally stopped.
"Everything has been handled properly. Wait another three minutes, and someone will deliver the magic energy crystals."
Tang Mo nodded to express his gratitude to Su Xing.
Su Xing immediately responded: "You're too polite; this is just my job."
This wasn't Su Xing being sycophantic. As long as it was an order from the Heavenly Sword Bureau, every organization and individual within the Great Xia Dragon Country had to unconditionally obey. Anyone who dared to resist would be killed without mercy!
Three minutes later, a dozen soldiers wearing special Guard Army uniforms arrived in Su Xing's office carrying two cases.
Then, after another round of identity verification, they handed the cases containing the two magic energy crystals to Tang Mo.
"You only need to channel your spiritual power into the interior of the magic energy crystal to disrupt its internal balance, and the magic energy crystal will explode."
"Once the magic energy crystal explodes, it will destroy everything within 300 square kilometers. Please be careful when using it."
After saying this, the soldiers gave Tang Mo a very standard military salute.
This was a courtesy enjoyed only after making a huge contribution to the country.
These Guard Army soldiers knew very well the fate of using magic energy crystals without the assault cannon; no one could escape the shockwave caused by the explosion of a magic energy crystal.
As guardians of the magic energy crystals, they had already seen too many warriors sacrifice themselves for the country in this way; therefore, they were naturally full of respect for Tang Mo.
Tang Mo didn't know all that. After putting the magic energy crystals into his storage space, he started heading back.
Soon, Tang Mo's figure appeared at the teleportation station in Jiangkou City.
Meanwhile, at the Guard Army barracks, Wang Kaiwen was excitedly telling the soldiers at the gate something.
"It's absolutely true! I definitely saw Tu Nie outside the city. There's a wanted poster online; I absolutely couldn't have misidentified him."
A guard soldier hurriedly ran inside to report.
Subsequently, Commander of Jiangkou City Guard Army and Guan Ruifeng ran out after him.
"You say you saw the wanted criminal Tu Nie?!"
Wang Kaiwen nodded his head like a pestle pounding garlic. "I... I saw him."
Commander of Jiangkou City Guard Army was overjoyed upon hearing this and hurriedly asked: "Where?"
Commander of Jiangkou City Guard Army had long been incredibly covetous of Tu Nie's professional abilities, but unfortunately, it had been messed up by Guan Ruifeng and the other one.
Now that he suddenly heard about Tu Nie's whereabouts, Commander of Jiangkou City Guard Army was naturally overjoyed.
"Outside the city, to the northeast!"
Wang Kaiwen said confidently.
"Are you sure that person is Tu Nie?"
Wang Kaiwen continued to nod. "Not only Tu Nie, but Tu Xiaoxia is also by his side."
"I carefully compared it with the wanted poster online; there's absolutely no mistake!"
Commander of Jiangkou City Guard Army gave Guan Ruifeng a look, signaling him to go notify Zhao Tianba to join them in the action.
Commander of Jiangkou City Guard Army used to deal with Tu Nie often, so he was naturally very clear about his strength.
Just with him and Guan Ruifeng, they couldn't take down Tu Nie at all; on the contrary, they might be killed by him instead.
Even after having Guan Ruifeng go call Zhao Tianba, Commander of Jiangkou City Guard Army still decided it wasn't safe enough, so he simply picked his trusted confidants from the barracks, the Guard Army.
These people were all moles he had planted in the Guard Army over the years, and they were all members of the Beast God Society.
After getting ready, Commander of Jiangkou City Guard Army took Wang Kaiwen and the Guard Army and prepared to set off.
