Liberty City was established on the ruins of a prosperous city of the Marital Meritocrats Civilization, with debris as complicated as a labyrinth in the underground world, like a piece of rotten wood that had been gnawed by ants.
It was almost like the gravity arrays that Wei Xiaotian’s ‘array activator’ activated were so powerful that the feeble earth could not take it anymore and collapsed directly, making Xiahou Wuxin fall below.
Wei Xiaotian frowned deeply. Slashing two bandits that lunged at him in half casually, he blew out two winds and threw away the four blocks of broken corpses. In the meantime, he did not forget to plant almost twenty crystal bombs on the broken corpses, paving a channel of blood in front of him with the explosions.
Wei Xiaotian stomped on the ground brutally and lunged at where Xiahou Wuxin fell.
“You want to go? Not so fast!”
To this moment, he still thought that it was merely an accident.
At best, the explosion could only have been caused by Xiahou Wuxin, who was cunning enough to detonate the earth below his feet and flee with the help of soil.
However, the next second, when he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, a creepy warning somehow flowed all over his body, pulling his every nerve ending brutally.
Wei Xiaotian’s every orifice was constricted to the minimum.
It was almost like an unimaginable, undefeatable beast was lurking right inside the cave that had appeared out of nowhere, and the very beast had bulged its eyes, waiting for him to jump into the trap!
For a moment, the sound of fighting and screaming on the battlefield vanished. The only thing that could be heard was the vague breathing of the deadly beast that was ravaging his eardrums and heart!
DUM! DUM! DUM! DUM! DUM!
Wei Xiaotian’s heart was beating faster than ever.
How is it possible? When did such a brutal monster appear in the Land of Sins? How did it escape our attention?
The thought only flashed briefly in Wei Xiaotian’s mind before he reacted as fast as lightning. At the risk of tearing apart all his bones and muscles, he tried to change the angle of his jump and brushed past the entrance of the cave at a close distance.
Boom!
The moment he passed the cave narrowly, an intense cluster of black smoke spurted out of the cave, like the breath of a dinosaur.
If he had jumped into the cave without minding anything just now, he certainly would have been swallowed by the black smoke, embracing his doom.
Although he was not directly hit by the black smoke, Wei Xiaotian still sensed that the terribly brutal force had locked onto him tightly, as if countless transparent tusks had bitten his arms and thighs.
Strangled by such a force, even a cold and heartless Immortal Cultivator like him could not help but moan. Having no time to analyze the source and elements of the force at all, he hopped and sprang, fleeing as quickly as possible!
The black smoke dispersed. Like raging ghosts, it spread in all directions in rings with the cave as the center. Very soon, it covered the entire battlefield.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The skyscrapers lying awry nearby were also detonated by the crystal bombs that had long been planted below the cornerstones. As they collapsed abruptly, the dust they raised blocked the entire sky.
Wei Xiaotian secretly cried. As a result, it would be impossible for Manjusaka to observe what was going on in the battlefield.
This is an expert much more awesome than Xiahou Wuxin and at least three times… no, five times… no, countless times stronger than him!
Who can it be? The Fist King?
It’s impossible. Even if ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie is some sort of spiritual puppet that boasts automatic learning and upgrading functions, ‘Great Iron City’ should be his limits. The dominance and magnificence were entirely different from the sordidness, brutality, and aggression right now!
Thinking quickly, Wei Xiaotian made the decision immediately. He wanted to command his subordinates to retreat and make further plans after the situation was analyzed calmly.
They were all jade, and the sinners were nothing more than bricks. It was illogical to hit bricks with jade.
However, the moment the thought occurred to him, he heard the screams of his teammates of the Second Special Operation Squad of the Heavenly Eye Legion.
Despite the number of sinners, they were all weak mobsters who were poorly equipped. With their advanced gear and their dominating strength, the Immortal Cultivators were able to deal with them before.
However, if a few experts who were similar to ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie, if not stronger, were hiding in the middle of the crowds that were like a surging flood, the situation would be quite dangerous.
They did not even need to attack the Immortal Cultivators directly. All they needed to do was hide in secret and harass the Immortal Cultivators, forcing the Immortal Cultivators to spare half of the attention on dealing with them. The mobsters that were coming at them fearlessly and unstoppably would naturally take care of the rest.
The Second Special Operation Squad of the Heavenly Eye Legion had dealt a heavy blow to the tough bandits and killed countless. With the bloody debts between the two parties, the tough bandits certainly understood the importance of taking advantage of the vulnerabilities of their enemies well and attacked them even more vehemently. All the Immortal Cultivators were mired in the violent turbulence, unable to move anymore.
In less than twenty seconds, the internal screen on Wei Xian’s crystal suit indicated that the performance of his subordinates’ crystal suits and their physical parameters had turned black, which meant that they had been completely destroyed and killed!
The next moment, the light beam twisted violently, and all the data turned into question marks. His connection with his subordinates had been jammed.
The killing intent that felt like a parasite appeared behind him again.
To this moment, Wei Xiaotian still had not figured out who exactly was harassing his subordinates and hunting him.
Frightened, Wei Xiaotian lost his earlier cool. On all fours, he slithered and crawled, fleeing in panic in the middle of the storm of bullets and blades!
Horrible! It was too horrible! Even when he was faced with the mutated beasts in the laboratory or Lord Wuying Lan, he did not seem to have sensed such terrifying killing intent before!
Several bandits ahead of him discovered him at the same time and realized that he was the leader of the mysterious combat squad. They all roared and lunged at him.
“Get lost, you ants!”
Wei Xiaotian’s face became more hideous than ever, with an expression that was even more disgusting than those of the sinners from the Land of Sins. He did not slow down at all even if that meant his crystal suit would be slashed by the enemy’s chainswords and vibration sabers. Two clusters of dazzling light balls burst out of his hands and sent the few bandits to hell!
Within a breath, he had already passed the tornado of blood and arrived at the edge of the battlefield and the black fog.
The killing intent behind him got more and more aggressive, as if somebody was grinning creepily next to his ears.
Wei Xiaotian shrieked. Instead of turning his head, he extended his left arm backward, trying to activate a new array to block the enemy’s pursuit.
But out of his expectations, hardly had he extended his arm when he felt his shoulder blade turn cold. The ‘array activator’ did not function at all when his entire left arm was chopped off neatly, including the ‘array activator’ and the Cosmos Ring that stored his crystal suits!
Wei Xiaotian did not stop or hesitate at all. He did not even show any sign that he hoped to reach for his broken limb and pull it back. Like a gecko that had just lost its tail, his speed was not affected at all when he finally broke out of the black fog!
He escaped desperately, never faster or more panicked in his entire life, until he ran out of strength, and his body was entirely drained. He finally collapsed in the middle of ruins.
When he looked back, he discovered that none of his subordinates escaped, and the raging black fog looked even creepier and more mysterious than before.
Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!
A cluster of white, icy fog spurted out of the fracture of the crystal suit, freezing the wound directly, stopping the bleeding, and depriving him of the sense of pain. Then, a layer of materials that were similar to gel was secreted and enshrouded the shocking wound. After it was exposed to the air for a few seconds, the gel was transformed into a silver shell like a new crystal suit.
There was no delight on Wei Xiaotian’s frozen face.
He adjusted his crystal processor gloomily and reached out to Manjusaka.
“My lord, we have failed. You must have noticed the anomaly on the battlefield. Yes. A few experts showed up. I suspect that ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie is still alive and has found a new iron body. He even has several partners now.
“Yes. The enemy cut off my left arm in one attack, but I didn’t see clearly whether it was ‘Fist King’ Lei Zonglie or somebody else. But it doesn’t matter now. I request a railgun bombardment of one square kilometer on the battlefield.
“Yes, understood. What?
“My lord, are you sure? This will affect a lot of things and involve the ‘epic quest’ that is a hundred times grander than the Battle of Liberty City!”
At this moment, in an underground sewer five kilometers away from the battlefield, Li Yao rolled forward in squeaky noises.
Clang!
The super alloy chainsword that he had installed on the left side of his body broke and fell to the ground.
The tracks occasionally uttered unpleasant sounds, expressing their protest.
Li Yao sighed. The body that he had temporarily jumbled was too fragile to accommodate his soul. When could he be his perfect fleshly body again?
Then, he chuckled in amusement. Wei Xiaotian proved to be overly cautious and was truly scared away by his pretension.
In fact, Wei Xiaotian was certainly an expert above average. With the enhancement of the high-level crystal suits, if he had competed with Li Yao’s ragged body right now, he would have made Li Yao pay a gory price in the bloody battle even if he could not defeat Li Yao.
Therefore, Li Yao had kept himself back and only intimidated the opponent with the air of the Divinity Transformation Stage, playing the trick of deterrence. The guy was truly shocked and fled in panic as he expected and did not even have the courage to fight back after the loss of an arm.
If Wei Xiaotian had been bold enough to fight to the end, Li Yao would have been caught in an awkward situation. He had to make a hard choice between revealing who he was and fleeing in a hurry.
But as it turned out…
I have a Cosmos Ring now!
Carrying the ‘array activator’ and the Cosmos Ring in which Wei Xiaotian stored his crystal suit, Li Yao could not have smiled more delightedly.
