Li Zailong spun around and delivered a side kick, his powerful mechanical leg sending Qi Xiao flying.
He wiped his neck, looking at the fresh blood on his hand, his expression extremely grim.
“What kind of blade was that?”
“It looked like just an ordinary short blade, yet it could cut through my armor?!”
“No, that’s not right, it wasn’t cut open; it was more like it was violently shattered, like a damn vibrator.”
Although 'lust' was a weapon forged by Dragon King Norton, in the hands of an ordinary person, it was merely a short sword with special material.
It was only because Qi Xiao possessed Dragon Blood that he could activate its special ability, 'Vibration'.
Qi Xiao rolled a few times, dissipating the impact, and propped himself up from the floor.
Gulp.
A mouthful of fresh blood surged up his throat, and a sweet, metallic taste filled his mouth.
He wiped the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand, resisting the urge to spit out the blood, and forced himself to swallow it.
A refreshing sensation surged from his limbs and bones; the wu gou fruit began to repair his injured body.
“Good, it got to his neck.”
“Now, I just need to stall until the poison takes effect!”
Without giving Li Zailong time to breathe, Qi Xiao pulled out his ZZ Handgun, and Frost Bullets poured out as if they were free.
Suddenly, shallow blue electric arcs appeared around Li Zailong's body; these arcs seemed to form an invisible barrier, blocking all the Frost Bullets.
Li Zailong suddenly felt an intense itch on his neck, and red rashes began to grow at the wound Qi Xiao had cut.
“Something’s wrong, that blade is poisoned!”
He raised his right hand, extended a laser blade, and directly cut off the injured skin around his neck.
Qi Xiao saw Li Zailong’s pulsating trachea and clicked his tongue, “That’s ruthless.”
“Looking at this, the toxin probably hasn't had time to spread yet.”
Li Zailong discarded the skin in his hand, stomped his foot, and charged towards Qi Xiao, pushing through the Frost Bullets.
The tungsten filament lamps overhead, as Li Zailong advanced, had all their filaments snap.
As Li Zailong got closer and closer, Qi Xiao felt his hair and body hair stand on end.
Li Zailong swung his laser blade in a powerful diagonal slash, but it cut through empty air, only leaving a gash in the wall.
Qi Xiao vanished from his spot.
Just as he turned to look for Qi Xiao's whereabouts, Qi Xiao appeared behind him, puffed out his cheeks, and fiercely spat a mouthful of toad potion at his wound.
Seeing that he couldn't dodge in time, Li Zailong's body-surrounding blue electric arcs condensed into a circular defensive force field, blocking all the toad potion Qi Xiao had sprayed.
Seeing his sneak attack fail, Qi Xiao quickly retreated, disappearing once again from Li Zailong's line of sight.
Li Zailong was on the verge of being driven mad; he couldn't hit him, and he had to constantly guard against sneak attacks.
He also didn't dare to deactivate the protective force field; if Qi Xiao suddenly appeared and took a bite out of him, he'd be finished.
This guy's speed was simply too fast.
Li Zailong did not act rashly; he activated his heat-sensing function to locate Qi Xiao's hiding place.
Under heat vision, Li Zailong quickly locked onto Qi Xiao's figure.
He was hiding in the room ahead.
Li Zailong set up his energy cannon and began to charge it.
Seeing Qi Xiao remain motionless there, a faint smile appeared on Li Zailong's lips.
Just as the charge was about to exceed Li Zailong's tolerable limit, he aimed at Qi Xiao and fired a blast!
A blue energy wave shot straight at Qi Xiao, and circular holes appeared in the walls along its path.
They didn't even explode; they were directly vaporized and disappeared.
“It hit!”
Li Zailong expected a hole to appear in Qi Xiao's body, but from the heat-sensing feedback, Qi Xiao's body was completely intact, practically unharmed.
“How is that possible? I clearly hit him.”
At this moment, Qi Xiao was holding the Level 8 treasure chest in front of his chest.
The blue energy wave, capable of melting steel and concrete, had no effect on the Level 8 treasure chest.
It was just like the light from an ordinary flashlight hitting it.
“Damn it, a sneak attack! No martial ethics!”
“To be able to accurately locate me through so many walls, it must be the work of that mechanical eye.”
“A bit annoying, I need to find a way to destroy that eye!”
Just as Li Zailong was charging another shot, Qi Xiao's figure vanished again.
He canceled the charge, extended his laser blade, and turned to stab behind him.
A pre-emptive strike!
Unfortunately, this time he stabbed at empty air again; although he had anticipated Qi Xiao's position, he still couldn't keep up with his speed.
As Li Zailong turned, Qi Xiao directly lay on the ground and slashed at Li Zailong's calf.
Although his strange force field could defend against bullets shot from a distance, it was ineffective against close-range attacks.
Hiss, there's electricity!
As soon as 'lust' touched Li Zailong's body, Qi Xiao's arm felt a tingling numbness.
He quickly retracted his blade and once again put distance between himself and Li Zailong.
Although Qi Xiao was wearing scout gloves, the gloves were fingerless, and Qi Xiao, holding the blade, would still be electrocuted.
After Li Zailong's blade swung into empty air, he immediately stood against the wall, not exposing his back.
When he saw Qi Xiao shaking his arm, he realized that he seemed to have been attacked again.
Li Zailong's expression grew increasingly sinister; this guy was truly troublesome.
Fast, mainly just too fast.
But thankfully, he's only fast; breaking through my defense won't be that easy!
“I have a force field defense against ranged weapons, and he'll get electrocuted if he gets close to me. He can't beat me!”
Just then, he saw Qi Xiao pull out a pair of purple lingguang stockings from who knows where.
Just as he thought Qi Xiao was pulling out some powerful item again, he saw Qi Xiao put the purple lingguang stockings on his hand, with the excess wrapped around the hilt of the blade.
The next second, Qi Xiao disappeared again.
“Not good!”
Li Zailong subconsciously raised his arms, crossing them defensively in front of his face, as Qi Xiao's strike heavily came down!
Vibration, intense vibration came again.
This high-frequency vibration was amplified because his arms were mechanical, causing some prosthetics to alarm.
“Warning! Z7 type vector cannon lost connection, reconnecting...”
“Warning! Connection failed, please check wiring integrity...”
“Warning! Z5 type prosthetic eye socket detected loose, resetting...”
“Warning! Prosthetic temperature too high, please do not continuously enable electrostatic force field, or disable heating function...”
With the lingguang stockings as insulation, Qi Xiao was not electrocuted this time, and he successfully damaged the opponent's left arm.
“Damn it, I'm definitely going to kill you!”
Seeing his left arm about to be directly severed by Qi Xiao, Li Zailong directly abandoned his defense, tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and a pure energy wave shot out from his mouth.
Because it wasn't a charged type, it was emitted instantly, aimed directly at Qi Xiao's face.
Qi Xiao reacted quickly as well; he twisted his neck, dodging the energy wave.
But the white light pillar actually thickened as Li Zailong's mouth opened wider, and Qi Xiao was still grazed by the light pillar.
His right cheekbone was directly exposed, the flesh seeming to evaporate and disappear.
By the time he closed his mouth, Qi Xiao's figure had already vanished.
“Son of a bitch, like a damn ghost, hits you once and then runs.”
Li Zailong had never seen such a despicable fighting style; he couldn't take it anymore. He activated the thrusters on his feet and quickly headed towards the staircase.
