Chapter 800: Mechanical Heart

Su Xiao was injecting the No. 1 potion directly into his body, and Lan Jue on the other side was also ruthless enough. Lan Jue also took out a syringe, but he didn't stab it into his neck; he stabbed it into his heart.

With one injection, the blood gushing from Lan Jue's shoulder stopped. Not only that, he also summoned dozens of mechanical scorpions. These mechanical scorpions crawled onto Lan Jue's body, starting from the wound on his shoulder, and formed a black arm.

The mechanical scorpion arm formed quickly. The five fingers were the tail stings of five mechanical scorpions. Blue venom dripped from the stings at the fingertips, hissing as it hit the ground.

"Very good, I have an arm, and the Ghost Bee will be back soon."

Both sides were ruthless people. One injected a very dangerous recovery item into his body immediately after his leg was blown up to ensure his movement speed. The other stabbed his heart and used summons to form a prosthetic limb. This arm didn't count as an arm regenerated by Lan Jue, so Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan's ability didn't activate.

"The arm is solved, but how do I break free from this thing? It seems very sturdy."

Lan Jue looked down at his body; he was currently wrapped in the Boundary Breaking Line.

Su Xiao in the giant crater tightened the Boundary Breaking Line. Bloodstains appeared on Lan Jue outside the giant crater. This guy's stamina attribute wasn't low; the Boundary Breaking Line could only break his skin, not chop him to pieces.

Lan Jue leaned back, his feet plowing the ground as he gradually approached Su Xiao. After all, the gap in the strength attribute was there.

After Su Xiao's legs regained sensation, he immediately rushed forward according to the direction of the Boundary Breaking Line, rushing out of the giant crater in a few steps.

The two looked at each other from more than thirty meters away. Although Lan Jue was covered in blood from the Boundary Breaking Line, he wasn't flustered; instead, he revealed a smile.

"Are you sure you want to come over and hack me?"

Lan Jue blew his whistle, and a sharp piercing sound came from the sky over the battlefield in the distance. Moreover, for some reason, neither the Empire nor the Tribe soldiers approached within a hundred meters of the two. This area seemed to have become a 'forbidden zone'.

This was Lan Jue's summons at work. Each of his mechanical summons had its own unique ability. For example, the rhinoceros beetles currently distributed a hundred meters away from the two were the ones misleading the senses of those soldiers, making those soldiers believe that the battle area between Su Xiao and Lan Jue was unapproachable and extremely dangerous.

Hearing the familiar piercing sound in the distance, Su Xiao's cheek twitched. The ability of that metal arrow was truly disgusting: etherealization, extremely fast speed, adding abnormal statuses after being injured, and the most shameless part was that it could also split.

Lan Jue had many fighting methods; Su Xiao couldn't compare to this. Su Xiao didn't know those fancy things; he only excelled at hacking people. After a few slashes, not many enemies of the same tier could survive. Even big bosses had been hacked down by him in a few slashes.

Now Su Xiao had two choices: one was to turn around and deal with that metal arrow, and the other was to ignore that metal arrow and attack Lan Jue with all his might.

Lan Jue also knew this. He was gambling, gambling that Su Xiao cared about his own life and would prioritize defending against the Ghost Bee.

Su Xiao stepped on the ground beneath his feet and, without even looking back, rushed straight towards Lan Jue!

"This brute."

Lan Jue's whistling paused for a moment, then turned even more urgent.

Su Xiao rushed to Lan Jue's front in a hurry. Lan Jue couldn't control other summons while controlling the Ghost Bee, so he could only jump backward. Fortunately, his agility attribute wasn't low.

The long sword slashed down. Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan's blade tip tore through Lan Jue's leather clothes, slashing a wound several centimeters deep on his chest.

Lan Jue was a man who had been through a hundred battles; he relied on his willpower to withstand the intense pain produced by the Green Steel Shadow energy.

"Command · Supersonic."

Lan Jue's whistling stopped.

Boom!

An air explosion sound came from behind Su Xiao. That was the sonic boom produced after something went supersonic.

At this moment, Lan Jue was still maintaining his backward jumping posture, with a bead of blood floating in front of his chest.

Su Xiao's pupils contracted. That strange feeling appeared again. His heart began to ache faintly, as if something was about to pierce his heart. He subconsciously shifted his body.

With a swish, the Ghost Bee penetrated Su Xiao's body and disappeared into the ground in front of him.

A wound the thickness of an arm appeared on the lower left side of Su Xiao's chest. Through the wound, one could even see his beating heart.

The Ghost Bee in the soil fell into a forced hibernation state.

"It didn't penetrate a vital point, damn it!"

Hundreds of mechanical bees appeared near Lan Jue. Su Xiao, with blood overflowing from the corners of his mouth, ignored those mechanical bees and rushed to Lan Jue's front.

Blade light flickered. Su Xiao slashed out several times in less than a second. In a situation where the enemy didn't block his attacks, the high-speed slash effect was the best. These slashes hit Lan Jue's neck, chest, abdomen, and other positions respectively.

While Su Xiao was slashing, hundreds of mechanical bees wrapped him inside.

"Command · Suicide."

Lan Jue, with blood gushing from his mouth, gave the command.

Boom!

The fire produced by the explosion wrapped Su Xiao inside. This was one of Lan Jue's abilities, which could concentrate the explosive power of his summons. After the explosion swallowed Su Xiao, dust mixed with soil splattered, and the battle finally subsided.

The dust drifted up, and a slow breeze blew by, blowing away the dust.

Lan Jue's severed head stood on the ground, his expression dull. Suddenly, Lan Jue's eyeballs moved, and his gaze looked at Su Xiao. He actually hadn't died!

"..."

Lan Jue's mouth opened and closed, but no sound came out. After being beheaded, there was no ability to make a sound at all. Fortunately, activating skills didn't actually require making a sound. The ability he used was his ultimate life-saving move, named: 'Command · Mechanical Heart.'

Thud, thud, thud...

In Lan Jue's body, which had been slashed into several segments, that heart that had stopped beating began to beat again. If one were to dig out this heart, one would find that Lan Jue's heart was of mechanical construction. This was also the reason why he hadn't died after being slashed to pieces.

In reality, Lan Jue would also die. If he did nothing within ten seconds after being beheaded, he would lose consciousness and eventually die.

As that mechanical heart beat, Lan Jue's slashed body began to mechanize. When his entire body was mechanized, Lan Jue breathed a sigh of relief. His head also became metallic. As long as the mechanical heart wasn't destroyed, he wouldn't die for the time being.

Washinoki Washinoki Jishi of mechanical beetles crawled out from the ground. They lifted Lan Jue's body and pieced Lan Jue's body together. Of course, piecing it together was useless; the nerves and bones had already broken. This wasn't a problem that mechanization could solve. Mechanization was an ultimate life-saving move, not an on-the-spot resurrection.

A dozen beetles used their claws and the pincers of their mouths to fix Lan Jue's body together, forming a human shape.

Mechanization could only be maintained for two hours. If Lan Jue couldn't recover his body, which had been slashed into several segments, within two hours, he would die.

At this moment, Lan Jue's body couldn't move at all; the only things that could move were his facial features. Fortunately, there were beetles lifting him up.

"Still not dead? As expected, this guy's survival ability is very strong."

Lan Jue looked at Su Xiao. Su Xiao was lying on the ground, seemingly having passed out.

Suddenly, Su Xiao's index finger twitched, and the few beetles preparing to approach him stopped.

Su Xiao, lying on the ground, raised his head. Pain came from all over his body. He tried to prop up his body with his hands, but unfortunately, he failed.

"Kill him."

Lan Jue's order was given, and a few beetles began to approach Su Xiao, preparing to self-destruct.

A white object rolled out from Su Xiao's arms. As soon as this thing appeared, it split into dozens of small white frogs, jumping and hopping towards Lan Jue.

"Retreat!"

The mechanical beetles under Lan Jue dragged him and crawled away quickly. Those small white frogs chased relentlessly. The few mechanical beetles that had come to kill Su Xiao earlier met the alchemy bombs.

With a boom, the mechanical beetles exploded, and most of the small frogs made of alchemy bombs were detonated; only a dozen chased after Lan Jue.

A mechanical beetle crawled out from the soil, dragging a metal arrow and running away quickly, which was very comical.

Su Xiao climbed up from the ground. He really wanted to raise his sword and chase after him, but unfortunately, his heart was willing but his strength was lacking. As a Hunter from Apocalypse Paradise, Lan Jue was naturally not easy to deal with.

With his current physical state, wanting to chase and kill Lan Jue was purely a pipe dream. It was better to consider how to survive on the battlefield. After Lan Jue retreated, those soldiers who had been fighting together a hundred meters away had already begun to approach Su Xiao.

Su Xiao drank a bottle of No. 1 potion, considered it for a moment, and very simply lay on the ground to play dead. This was something he was good at.

Su Xiao actually wasn't in a hurry. Reincarnation Paradise hadn't issued him a mission to kill the opponent. On the contrary, the opponent seemed to have a mission to kill him. Judging from the opponent's tone, if he didn't kill him, the opponent would die before this world ended. But the authenticity of this news remained to be verified. After all, this was something the enemy said, and Su Xiao wouldn't believe it completely.

In this battle, although neither side killed the other, Su Xiao won. Except for a hole pierced in his chest, he didn't lose any other parts, while Lan Jue was miserable; he had been slashed into six segments by Su Xiao.
