Chapter 238: Immortal? Immortal!
Boom!
Pulling the Ship-breaking Blade out of the Giant Armor beneath him, the pilot was just an ordinary Gene Chain Evolutionist with nothing special about him, his Strength was mediocre, and he was instantly killed.
In the blink of an eye, five B-Tier Lifeforms were instantly killed. Li Yu raised his hand and recalled the Cursed Arrow. The Cursed Arrow came with a tracking function and could also be reused.
Therefore, its manufacturing cost was many times higher than that of a God-Slaying Round.
It wasn't over yet. The mechanical structure on his back continuously proliferated, and five Electromagnetic Cannon Turrets deployed. Luminous blue Electric Arcs flickered as they began to charge.
"Old Bart... get out of the way," Li Yu shouted. Bart had been hit head-on by this type of Turret before and naturally knew how powerful it was.
However, those two enemies weren't idiots either, they couldn't just stand there blankly to be attacked without moving.
The instant deaths of their five teammates just now had already terrified them; they completely lacked the confidence to fight against Li Yu.
The moment Bart moved away, they split into two directions and fled respectively.
Edwin shook his head. Energy Beams fired from Sci-Martial Arts Weapons couldn't track enemies; Bart had retreated a bit too early.
However, Bart was probably also afraid of being Caught in the Crossfire. After a series of fierce battles, if he had to take another volley of five Electromagnetic Cannons head-on, he didn't know if he would still be able to stand.
This action was irreproachable.
"Max, prepare to evacuate..." Edwin called Max.
"Damn..." Max looked up, his Nano-helmet retracting, his gaze blank.
Through the reflection in his pupils, one could clearly see.
The electromagnetic Light Beam in mid-air actually made a 180-degree turn, catching up to one of the enemies and submerging him in the electromagnetic Light Beam.
Edwin abruptly looked up, his pupils dilating as he looked at the electromagnetic Light Beam that suddenly turned in mid-air.How is this possible?
Boom!
The Armor exploded, and a figure stumbled and fell down. Although he was still alive, he was taking in less air and letting out more.
Casually conjuring an Energy Bomb and tossing it over, Li Yu ended his sinful life.
"How was this done..." Edwin murmured unconsciously. The bullets just now could be explained as having an attached tracking effect.
Although the craftsmanship was complex and the cost was high... it wasn't impossible. But how could an Energy Beam fired from a Weapon turn?
"Pity, one got away..." Li Yu shook his head, not caring too much. He didn't hesitate, directly putting away the Electromagnetic Cannon, and said to the dumbfounded trio:
"Still watching... run! Waiting for an A-Tier Lifeform to come give you a massage?"
The group snapped to their senses. Edwin organized his guard squad, having them break into smaller groups to leave along with the fleeing travelers.
Li Yu and the others directly soared into the sky, not wanting to stay here for even a second longer.
As for the Mermaid Princess—Olivia, sorry, who is that? Don't know her.
Even Max, at a time like this, didn't foolishly ask the idiotic question, "What about Olivia?"
Which was more important, someone else's life or one's own life? There was clearly no doubt.
Li Yu's movements were extremely fast, and the time consumed by this series of actions was very short.
In the tense atmosphere before Olivia, Strength King suddenly looked up towards the other side. He frowned slightly and hesitated, "You hold them off first, I need to step away for a moment."
Laser Man was just looking for an opportunity to strike when he heard Strength King's words, and immediately said displeased, "Strength King, did you forget our mission? They're just a few ants, if they run, let them run."
"My mission isn't just this one." Strength King didn't waste words with Laser Man. He directly shattered a hundred-meter radius of the Ground, his body tearing through the air, air barriers continuously exploding as he instantly shot out like a streak of Flowing Light.
Li Yu had just breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed the [Titan Colonization Armor] suddenly auto-activate. While covering his whole body, a large number of prismatic Shield emitters deployed, instantly linking together to form an incredibly powerful energy defense.
Before he even knew what was happening, he saw a figure flash by. Strength King, with super explosive power, rushed to above Li Yu's head almost like teleportation.
Terrifying power surged, gathering into a spinning vortex on his fist. His back bulged, blooming with blinding light.
Before Li Yu could even react, the brightly glowing fist smashed into the center of his crossed arms.
Bang!!
It was as if a star exploded in mid-air.
An overwhelming force Impacted him. Being in mid-air with nowhere to leverage his strength, Li Yu's vision blurred, only seeing Edwin and the others rapidly distancing from him.
Immediately after, a violent collision tremor came from his back. His entire person broke through the Earth and continuously descended. Soil and rocks rapidly filled his vision, and the sky in his field of view became nothing but a small dot.
This explosive punch knocked Li Yu from the sky into the ground, embedding him an unknown number of meters deep.
His arms were in pain and powerless, and a large number of prismatic Shield emitters exploded. If it hadn't been for the buffer of the prismatic Shields just now, that strike would have triggered [Near-Death Rebirth].
Only then did Li Yu realize that it was that muscular man who had attacked him.
Damn it, he really is from the Star Glory Empire.Li Yu had suspected it before, and now he was certain.
Other than the Star Glory Empire, no one would bother to conveniently take him out while dealing with Olivia.
"Actually fine?" Strength King was somewhat surprised.
Thud, thud, thud—
Before he could even catch his breath, the ground above his head exploded again. Strength King directly shattered the ground in this area, piercing straight Underground like a humanoid bulldozer.
Not wanting to be buried alive, Li Yu smashed away the falling rubble and flew out. Strength King instantly blocked his path and grabbed one of Li Yu's arms.
"Caught you."
Strength King's expression was indifferent. With one hand, he swung Li Yu up and smashed him fiercely onto the Ground, lifted him up, smashed again, lifted, smashed.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A large number of prismatic Shields continuously exploded, their generation speed not even matching their rate of destruction.
High in the sky, Max and the other two looked at Li Yu being treated as a punching bag, their mouths slightly agape.
"He... isn't dead yet?" Max asked with difficulty, looking incredulous.
"Seems... not dead." Edwin shared a similar sentiment.
"That's an A-Tier Lifeform..." Bart didn't even know what to say anymore.
The [Prismatic Shield - Ephemera Type] was worthy of being called the 'Star Coin Shield' Shield emitter; as long as there were enough prisms, the Shield would be strong enough.
This was also one of the reasons Li Yu could arduously hold on under Strength King's assault.
"Still fine?" Strength King frowned deeply. Others might see Li Yu as not dead, but he himself knew this guy was far more than just 'not dead'.
He basically wasn't badly hurt at all. Those damn prisms seemed endless; just how many Star Coins did this guy spend buying this stuff?
Li Yu's head was dizzy from being smashed. He hurriedly pulled a pool model from his System Space and crushed it. Green Luminescence poured into his body, and a warm current surged.
Part of the internal injuries began to recover rapidly. The [Golden Blood Talent] hidden in his Corporeal Form began to exert force, and threads of power started surging.
[Obtained consumable - Lazarus Power: The power of life blesses you. Gain temporary Immortal Body upon use, duration - 15 minutes.]
This was the little surprise Clone One brought him during the three days waiting for the concert, from Batman's old father-in-law. The Assassin Leader had recruited Clone One to jointly oppose Batman.
He didn't expect to use it so quickly.
The power of the Lazarus Pit wasn't immortality, but life extension. This had clearly undergone magical modification by the System, adding a time limit as well.
With the buff applied, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, looking much more relaxed, and even started teasing Strength King.
"Mister technician, what's wrong? Didn't eat lunch?"
Anyway, this guy didn't look like he would let him off easily, so he might as well piss him off.
Li Yu's voice wasn't quiet; Edwin and the other two in mid-air heard him clearly.
Max didn't even know how to describe his feelings anymore. "He's still provoking that A-Tier Lifeform?"
Bart suddenly felt that the A-rank he had pursued for so many years was nothing more than this; he couldn't even kill Li Yu.
"Shouldn't we leave?" he reminded.
Edwin's expression was hesitant. On one hand, reason told him they should leave as soon as possible, but on the other hand, he wanted to see to what extent Li Yu could go.
If he really could survive... Edwin had a premonition that this person would become a key figure in changing Klein's public reputation.
He gritted his teeth and said: "Find a place to observe the battlefield, don't leave yet."
The smashing abruptly stopped. Strength King lifted Li Yu up, his gaze looking at him as if looking at a dead man, his tone dead silent: "The mission requirement I received is to bring you back alive, as long as you're alive, that's enough, understand?"
Boom boom boom!
Strength King let go, and Li Yu fell in a freefall. However, the next moment, Strength King's fists struck like phantoms, unleashing a storm of attacks.
Fists heavily struck his body time and time again. The inertia that should have sent him flying was neutralized by Strength King using a special method, keeping Li Yu tightly stuck to his fists.
This technique made Li Yu even more passive, constantly suffering heavy blows, blood spurting wildly.
It looked as if he was at the end of his rope. The attack power was extremely strong, hitting him as if every blow was enough to shatter him.
Bang!
The rapid attacks ended, and Li Yu lay on the Earth. The Armor on his chest was already shattered, and his Helmet was also opened by him because he was vomiting too much blood.
"Why did it end?" Li Yu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his voice not even trembling: "I haven't enjoyed myself enough yet, why did you stop?"
Strength King took a deep breath, his pupils gradually becoming bloodshot. This feeling was as if the opponent was clearly a thin sheet of paper that you could crumple and fold however you wanted, but just couldn't tear.
This feeling made him extremely angry, so angry he wanted to destroy everything before him.
"You! Are! Courting! Death!" Strength King said word by word, looking down at Li Yu. His entire body surged with overwhelming power, his hair flew wildly, and Energy Electric Arcs crackled around him.
The shattered bricks and stones on the ground trembled, as if unable to bear such immense power.
He raised his hands high and brought them together above his head, his fists emitting a dazzling light.
"Haa-aaah!" Strength King let out an explosive shout. This was the first time he let out such a venting sound, which was enough to prove the power of this strike.
The raised fists slammed down, Boom—Bang!
They smashed solidly onto Li Yu's chest. Terrifying power swept through his entire body. His eyes instantly widened, blood vessels bursting, as if he was about to explode.
Although he couldn't die now, the feeling of this level of power crashing around inside his body was truly agonizing.
The next instant, the Earth trembled violently. Cobweb-like cracks spread outwards from beneath him, and the buildings along the way continuously collapsed.
The entire Flying Ball Stadium was already blasted Riddled With Holes, and at this moment... it completely turned into Ruins. Who knows how many innocent travelers died within.
The cracks spread over a radius of nearly ten thousand meters, clearly visible even from the planet's distant orbit. If not for the vast majority of the power being controlled onto Li Yu's body by Strength King's special technique,
The degree of destruction would probably have increased exponentially.
In the Ruins, Max spoke hesitantly: "He should be dead, right?"
This was just a pure question; he wasn't hoping Li Yu would actually die.
It was just that the shock Li Yu had caused him earlier was too great, making it impossible for him to consider Li Yu's life or death purely from a safety perspective.
"He couldn't possibly withstand this strike." Edwin's face returned to calmness, analyzing rationally. If this strike exploded with full force on the planet, it was enough to shatter a continental plate.
A-Tier Lifeforms weren't just talk.
He truly couldn't imagine how Li Yu could survive under this strike, just like he couldn't imagine... how an Energy Beam fired by Sci-Martial Arts could turn?
How could an Energy Beam without any Entity be equipped with a Navigation System?
"I can't complete the mission..." The bloodshot look in Strength King's eyes gradually faded. His expression was hesitant, somewhat regretting his impulse just now.
"Forget it... Nash doesn't know who he is anyway, I'll just pretend I didn't spot him," Strength King muttered.
His mission was to bring Li Yu back alive, but in a moment of impulse, he had smashed the target to death, so he could only pretend nothing happened.
"Cough cough..." Coughing sounds suddenly came from the smoke and dust. A large crater had been blasted out from under Li Yu. He lay in the center of the crater, relatively far from Strength King.
So Strength King didn't immediately notice that this guy's Vital Signs were actually still present.
"A... bit... painful..." Li Yu only said these three words, but falling into Strength King's ears, it hit Like a Thunderbolt. The faded bloodshot look in his eyes returned once again.
His body began to twitch irregularly, blood-red hair grew on his body surface, his Corporeal Form began to continuously expand, and the Aura on his body strengthened by another chunk.
"Why!?"
"Why!?"
"Why won't you die!?" Strength King roared to the sky, his Gene Chain completely liberated, transforming into a massive Blood Ape, continuously pounding its chest and letting out thunderous sounds.
Edwin and the other two, who were sneaking away, froze in place again upon hearing this.
However, having endured multiple "thunderstrikes" in a short period, their resistance had increased a lot.
Max's tone was calm, a smile pulling at the corners of his mouth: "He really isn't dead yet."
Bart nodded silently. Edwin drew the Dagger at his waist, sheathed it again, drew it out again, and sheathed it again, unconsciously repeating this many times.
