Chen Ming shook the longsword in his hand and infused spiritual energy into the blade.

All traces of the Black Mist Spirit Ability Users were thoroughly erased.

But after doing this, he suddenly felt a discomfort.

The source... seemed to be his sidearm and the bone longsword in his hand.

It seemed these two spiritual weapons were conflicting.

Their properties were in conflict.

Chen Ming felt that the spiritual energy amplification given by his weapon, "Ming," was gradually disappearing due to the conflict in spiritual energy properties.

It seemed he couldn’t simultaneously use two different spiritual weapons.

Chen Ming frowned, withdrew the spiritual energy he had infused into the sword, and the discomfort immediately vanished, while the amplification given by "Ming" gradually returned.

This was something he never anticipated; for a situation like this, in an area of ignorance, it would be best to consult a professional.

Chen Ming hung the sword at his waist and suddenly said, "He managed to escape, where could he run to?"

At this time, Bai Quan, who remained on the ship, was having a video communication with Chen Ming through the terminal. Upon hearing Chen Ming’s words, he immediately said, "The Black Mist Spirit Ability User ran off? Then I remember you mentioned earlier there was also a Hu Yi? Where did he go?"

"He... was strange, after initially launching a spiritual energy attack, he just vanished, couldn’t find him at all."

Bai Quan speculated, "Could there be a third Psychic? He took Hu Yi first, then took this Black Mist?"

Chen Ming pointed to his waist, "Then why leave the sword behind?"

"The sword might be a decoy, meant to lure you here, and the Black Mist was hiding elsewhere. By the time you found the sword, he had already escaped through other routes."

Chen Ming was silent for a moment and then said, "Last time, it was the Black Mist who took Hu Yi, so who is it this time?"

"It doesn’t necessarily have to be someone else to pick them up, maybe Hu Yi initiated a spiritual energy attack and was then taken by the Black Mist Spirit Ability User, who then tangled with you here."

"That’s possible."

"If we can’t catch him now, once his spiritual energy recovers, there will be even less chance to catch him, is it over?"

"Maybe, what a pity."

Just as Chen Ming said "what a pity,"

beneath Chen Ming’s feet, about fifty meters underground in a hollow cavity,

the Black Mist Spirit Ability User, who had shrunk back with his remaining strength, concealed all spiritual energy fluctuations, and was thoroughly exhausted, faintly heard Chen Ming’s words thanks to his acute perception.

He subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the moment he relaxed, he suddenly heard a dripping sound nearby.

The Black Mist Spirit Ability User immediately sensed something was wrong. He had chosen this underground, entirely rocky, and very dry cave for his safety, to avoid a cave-in,

so why was there the sound of dripping water now?

He cautiously reached out in the dark and soon followed the sound to touch that cold liquid.

His fingertips felt a weight distinctly different from ordinary water droplets.

At that moment, the Black Mist Spirit Ability User’s heartbeat nearly stopped.

He neither had the time nor the ability to respond before he was violently dragged to the surface by the metal liquid seeping underground.

Besides the rushing sound of breaking through the earth, he also heard Chen Ming’s voice, filled with unexpected delight: "It seems it’s not over yet."

The Black Mist Spirit Ability User was slammed onto the ground by the metal liquid, leaving him momentarily disoriented and his vision black.

He wanted to escape but was powerless, allowing Chen Ming to trap him in the solidified metal liquid just like the Zuo Jing operative involved in the plot at the dome earlier.

With spiritual energy exhausted, he couldn’t move at all, only showing a look of despair like an ordinary person.

Chen Ming did not waste words, standing in front of the Black Mist Spirit Ability User, he asked, "Let me ask you a question, who sent you here?"

The Black Mist Spirit Ability User remained silent, entirely unwilling to reveal a single word.

Seeing this, Chen Ming did not use any violent interrogation methods but instead took out the Stone of Chaotic Words from the Mind Fluctuation Generator.

Simultaneously, the metal liquid that bound the thoroughly exhausted Black Mist Spirit Ability User loosened slightly, freeing one of his hands.

The Black Mist Spirit Ability User instantly understood what Chen Ming was about to do, and fear flashed in his eyes for both Chen Ming and the spiritual stone in his hand.

Now, he could only choose to use his remaining strength to clench his fist tightly, not daring to release it a bit.

But just as he clenched his fist, it was pried open again by the metal liquid, as human strength was entirely unable to contend against the power of spiritual energy.

Seeing that the Black Mist Spirit Ability User still had no intention of speaking, Chen Ming no longer deliberately slowed his actions and directly placed the Stone of Chaotic Words into his hand.

In the eyes of the Black Mist Spirit Ability User, whose spiritual power was already exhausted, a web of bloodshot instantly appeared. His ears were engulfed by frantic murmurs, with Mind Shock delving deep into his brain, leaving him no room to struggle as he went limp and fainted.

Chen Ming checked to ensure his spiritual energy fluctuations had completely calmed and that he had genuinely entered an unconscious state.

A Psychic shouldn’t be fatally harmed, but he definitely won’t wake up anytime soon.

Chen Ming relaxed slightly, released the restraint of the metal liquid, and took off the Black Mist Spirit Ability User’s mask, snapping a few photos for evidence.

Afterwards, Chen Ming searched him and indeed found a few items that appeared quite unique.
