Chapter 161: The Devil's Contract
Taixu never expected that his bastard teacher would play such a game, if he had known that this would happen, he would definitely kill the guy with Cyclops in advance, so as not to let himself end up in such a passive situation now, and there would be no way out.
Originally, he was ready to stay honest and not cause trouble for the next period of time, and then find a way to run out when the limelight passed...... It's good now, not only is it a hot potato, but once it fails, it is very likely that it will not be able to come out for 20 years.
Because that bastard teacher has always been true to his word, and if he really fails, he will never be able to run out again for the next twenty years.
But it's not so easy to succeed.
You must know that it was Apocalypse who took Professor X away, and it was a level 5 transcendent who really stood at the pinnacle of the earth!
Taixu has always been unsightly, and he is also very confident in himself, but self-confidence does not equal arrogance, he knows very well how big the gap between himself and a real level 5 is.
Even in the face of a level 4 peak like the God of War Tyr, he never took half a step back, but if it was a level 5 like the Apocalypse, no matter how many means he had, it would be useless.
The gap between the two is just too great.
In addition, if he changes to level 5, this matter may not be unavailable, because the task given to him by his teacher is only to rescue Professor X, not to kill Apocalypse.
In this way, there is an opportunity to take advantage of it, such as finding out the specific location of Professor X, and using a teleportation spell to catch Professor X off guard and secretly rescue Professor X.
No matter how annoyed the other party is afterwards, he will definitely not be able to catch up, and even if he wants to retaliate, he doesn't know who rescued Professor X, and there is no way to talk about revenge.
But Apocalypse is different, he is also proficient in spatial teleportation, and he also has a lot of strange and messy abilities, once any of these links go wrong, it is very likely that he will not even be able to escape, then he will really throw himself into the net and send him to death.
So the surprise attack plan didn't work for the apocalypse.
If he wasn't sure, Taixu would definitely not do it, because it would be better to not come out for twenty years than to be killed by the apocalypse directly, and he wouldn't joke with his life.
Therefore, if you want to rescue Professor X, you must find a way to solve the apocalypse once and for all.
Solve a level 5?
It's not ordinary...... It's no wonder that Taixu would be so annoyed, if it weren't for Zhang Taibai, he would really have the heart to kill Laser Eye now.
"You're good!" Too empty and gloomy to look at Cyclophalo.
Bang!
Cyclops suddenly flew upside down, knocking a big hole in the wall behind him!
At this time, even Taixu was slightly startled, and when he looked at it, he realized that it was Zhang Taibai who made a move.
"What are you doing?!"
ββ!!
A metallic wind broke out, and Logan's steel claws stretched out again!
"Do you really think you're immortal? If I beat you into a puddle of pulp, will you be able to regenerate? Zhang Taibai looked at Luo Gen lightly.
He didn't even have the intention of using Kenmaru at all, because against level 3 like Logan and Cyclopneum, he didn't need to use weapons, even with his bare hands, he could torture them to death.
"Logan, stop!" Storm Girl hurriedly stood in front of Logan.
She was much more rational than Rogan, and knew that she was definitely not the opponent of Zhang Taibai and that Taixu Mage, so it would only be boring to really fight.
"Zhangβ"
Natasha shouted on the side, wanting to intercede, but was stopped by Zhang Taibai raising his hand, "Don't talk, Natasha, it's none of your business." β
Seeing Zhang Taibai say this, Natasha already understood what he meant.
Zhang Taibai was telling her that this matter had nothing to do with her, and if she had to get involved, she would only embarrass herself in the end.
"I'm only here because Eve is unconscious, she's in this situation because of your Professor Charles, and you can't save her...... Now I'm trying to find someone to save her, in exchange for your gains? Zhang Taibai's face was gloomy.
He's really a little hot, not just for show.
Just like the reason why he was reluctant to let Taixu help him before, because he had already owed Taixu too many favors, even if it was his own brother, he didn't do it.
As a result, he was too vain to make his own decisions, and risked not being able to come out for ten years to find his teacher, Master Kalu, and successfully saved Everea.
But the action of Laser Eye is equivalent to giving Taixu another pit.
How can Zhang Taibai endure this?
So before he could make a fuss, he couldn't help but do it!
Although he didn't directly kill the killer just now, the gap between him and Cyclops was just as big as the gap between Apocalypse and Taixu.
Hit by his blow, Cyclops was seriously injured if he didn't die.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, Cyclops was just impulsive......" Stormgirl pleaded.
"On the spur of the moment? I see. Zhang Taibai nodded, "Then I was also impulsive just now, I hope you don't care...... Besides, if this stupid wolf keeps staring at me like this, I can't guarantee that I won't be impulsive again......"
While Zhang Taibai was speaking, Logan was still looking at him with murderous eyes.
"Forget it, brother, don't be angry, that guy has already paid a terrible price for his impulsiveness......" Taixu's voice suddenly came.
"Oh?" Zhang Taibai looked at Taixu.
But I saw that he was holding the scroll that Master Kalu had just given to Cyclopyo, which should have fallen to the ground when Cyclops was knocked away by him, and was picked up by Taixu on the side.
"I'll just say how could that old bastard be so kind, and so easily agreed to that guy to help with this, hehe......" Taixu closed the scroll and smiled grimly.
Seeing the appearance of Tai Xu, the storm girl had a bad feeling in her heart.
"Don't sell it, what's going on." Zhang Taibai said.
"This is a 'demon's contract', which hell lord the old bastard should have gotten from, and that kid signed this contract just now, which means that he sold his soul to the old bastard, and when the old bastard needs it, he will directly drain his soul...... With the virtue of an old bastard, I'm afraid that kid will not be able to survive or die when the time comes, tsk. β
When Taixu said this, he didn't mean to be angry at all.
Because he can already imagine what will happen to Cyclops in the future.
Selling one's soul to a mage who has no humanity to speak of, and can almost be called an evil camp, is even worse than selling one's soul to a demon...... You know, even the real demon of Hell will tremble at the mention of the name of his bastard teacher!
"What?" Although Storm Girl had already had a premonition, she didn't expect it to be like this.
Doesn't it mean that Cyclops can't escape this contract even if he dies? This is the real can't die.
"How can this be ......," Storm Girl's face turned pale.
"Didn't he bring it on himself?" Taixu saw the reaction of the storm girl, and sneered, "For the sake of the old brother, I have already reminded you, don't try to hit the old bastard's idea, even if it is the apocalypse you are afraid of, it is definitely not as cruel as the old bastard, but what about you?" β
Stormgirl was speechless.
β¦β¦
Half an hour later, Zhang Taibai and Taixu had returned to New York, and they also took the unconscious Evereya with them.
The 'Mutant Academy' is no longer safe, and Zhang Taibai doesn't feel at ease to keep her there.
Zhang Taibai and they teleported back directly through Taixu, and Natasha stayed in the 'Mutant Academy' temporarily, probably to catch up with Logan, and the plane she flew over was still in the 'Mutant Academy', she had to drive back, and she couldn't lose it, so she didn't go with Zhang Taibai and them.
As for the trouble caused by the laser eye, Taixu is too lazy to care.
Because the price he paid was ten times and a hundred times the trouble he brought to Taixu.
However, Zhang Taibai didn't bring Evereya home this time, he lived there by himself, but it was not very suitable for recuperation. And Evereya's current situation also needs to be taken care of, and he himself is extravagant, and he really can't take care of it.
So he had to find someone to help.
"Little junior brother, this is really not your girlfriend?" Looking at Evereya lying on the bed, the second senior sister Dong Xueqing blinked her eyes and asked curiously.
"It's a good female friend, not a girlfriend, second senior sister, I've already told you three times." Zhang Taibai said helplessly.
If he had known that this second senior sister was so gossipy, he would never have come over.
is mainly his female friends who have a good relationship in New York, probably the second senior sister Dong Xueqing and the seventh senior sister Winnie, and the others are either not in touch for a long time, or they are simply not in New York.
But because Winnie is an executive of the 'Stark Group', she is usually very busy, considering this situation, Zhang Taibai did not bother her, so she thought of Dong Xueqing, the second senior sister who was at home with her husband and children, and she should be more free.
This second senior sister Dong Xueqing is more than a round older than Zhang Taibai and them, so she has already married and had children, and even her youngest child is already in high school, but probably because she has a relationship with martial arts, she looks very young, and she can't tell her real age at all.
It is precisely because her children are already very old that they are usually idle.
Thinking of this, Zhang Taibai brought Evelya over, wanting to ask her to help take care of her for a while, and wait for Evelya to wake up before making plans.
But I didn't expect this second senior sister to gossip like this...... Zhang Taibai has already regretted it.
Taixu, who followed on the side, saw Zhang Taibai's predicament, and had no intention of saving him, but instead 'fell into the well' and said, "Brother, don't pretend, if this wasn't your girlfriend, would you go to such great lengths to help her?" Even if it's not, it can be a yes. β
Dong Xueqing already knew that Taixu was Zhang Taibai's younger brother, and said with a smile, "What your brother said makes sense, I think this girl is very beautiful, and it is enough for you to be a kid." β
"Okay, well, I can't talk about you." Zhang Taibai decided to raise the white flag and surrender, "Second Senior Sister, do you still have a spare room here, I have something to discuss with Taixu." β
"The two rooms upstairs that turn left and go to the end are empty, you feel free." Dong Xueqing said.
"Okay."
"Then you talk slowly, I'll go get ready and get you some delicious food in the evening." Dong Xueqing said with a smile.
"Then it's going to trouble the second senior sister." Zhang Taibai said.
"It's all my own family, you're welcome." Dong Xueqing waved her hand.
After saying hello to Dong Xueqing, Zhang Taibai and Taixu walked to the second floor.
This second sister is a rich second generation herself, in addition to her father is a wealthy Chinese businessman, she now has the status of a Republican congressman, and her husband is also a good combination with her, and the family also has a family business, and now it has taken over.
So her house is still quite big, it shouldn't be too much to say that it is a mansion, and there are a lot of spare rooms, if it weren't for that, Zhang Taibai would be embarrassed to trouble her.
