Chapter 83: Who Told You to Fire Up the Gaomao King Kong!
In front of the Wei'e Fortress Gate.
In the distance are the repelled Terrans, and behind them a wall of Green Skin Star Realm Army.
Only a few dozen of Abadon's veteran bodyguards stand there besides Xisi and Abadon.
At that moment, an Arctic cold wind blew, and on Abadon it felt an unusual desolation.
Especially as Abadon watched a human clad in Divine Emperor's Blessing Armor, bearing the Terror Torment Demon Sword, glowing with Sè Niè Powder Light, and finally piloting a Gaomao King Kong; this desolation seemed to drift with the cold wind into his heart.
Laugh......
At this moment, Abadon truly could not laugh.
Since the rear guards stared wordlessly, if we were to count Blessings as before, the Xisi opposite also had four!
And one of them is a TM Green Skin God!
Abadon's expression turned deadly bleak, and for a moment he didn't know what to say, but before he could speak, Xisi opposite piloted a Hundredfold‑enhanced Gaomao King Kong and hammered his chest several times with great force.
Watching the four sparks of fire burst from the fist, Abadon's eyelid twitched, then he slightly lowered his eyes, a hint of "Is this right?" doubt in his gaze.
Gaomao King Kong is equivalent to the Human Empire's knight Mech, the most powerful conventional ground unit.
During Abadon's long campaigns, he often dealt with Gaomao King Kong, but seeing Xisi's piloted Gaomao King Kong and comparing it with the one in his mind, Abadon simply could not equate the two.
Aside from looking identical, just hearing the muffled hammering made Abadon know that if that punch landed on him…
Abadon suddenly shivered, his thoughts halted, and as he was about to consider how to leave without embarrassment, the sunlight before him was blocked by a towering shadow.
Abadon froze, then slowly raised his head.
"So it's you, Abadon?"
The bodyguards behind had retreated at some point; after all, being Abadon's guards, they could tell at a glance that the human piloting the Gaomao King Kong opposite was beyond anything they could stop.
Abadon stared at the Gaomao King Kong overhead, where a human head abruptly sprouted from its neck, asking him a question, his eyes glazed.
Putting aside how provocative Xisi's words were, the mere fact that Xisi piloted the Gaomao King Kong and arrived before him without any reaction already left Abadon at a loss for words.
He opened his mouth but said nothing; perhaps Xisi sensed Abadon's embarrassment and deliberately broke the ice for him.
After the question, Xisi raised a palm dramatically, covering the star with an exaggerated hand, then with green light turned Abadon directly into a cannonball, blasting him toward a distant abandoned plastic‑steel wall, where his whole body lodged.
Silence.
Aside from the smoke raised by Abadon's cannonball form, the entire world—whether the Green Skin behind, the humans, the bodyguards ahead, even Washituoer and Aolake on the Ominous Sign Ark—had their lips sealed, expressionless, watching the scene.
Even though Aolake had no lips, the server's humming seemed oddly quieter.
The only sound in the world was the whimper of the cold wind sweeping across the ground.
Until Abadon clenched his teeth, suppressing the urge to vomit blood, he struggled to rise from the wall, and before he could catch his breath, the sunlight before him was blocked again.
Abadon froze, his neck stiffly lifted, then watching the Gaomao King Kong's arm rise again before him, a sudden fear arose:
"Still… still coming?"
The same motion, the same steps; the only difference was that this time Abadon collided not with a plastic‑steel wall but with a slab of solid ice.
Watching the War General, now transformed into an ice‑shaving machine, the Chaos Region fell utterly silent, and the humans on the wall involuntarily opened their mouths, unable to believe what they had seen.
Even Sha Hansen opened his mouth for a moment, then stared blankly at Fanluosi beside him, speechless at how he had let Xisi find him first!
This time, after Abadon finally emerged from the solid ice, he could no longer hold back the spurt of blood; without hesitation he drew his demon sword, fully powered Horace's Claw, and glared at Xisi in fury.
Then, this time, he finally saw how Xisi arrived before him without any reaction.
Abadon looked up and could only see the notoriously cumbersome Gaomao King Kong in Xisi's hands, leaping directly from the ground with exaggerated, almost absurd power and agility, charging toward him.
His face immediately showed resentment:
"A thing that big, you drive it like a flea—don't you find it awkward?!"
Abadon had no words to express his anguish; after a lifetime of battles, he could always find a way to counter any foe, be it Original Body or even a great demon, but now, watching the wildly approaching Xisi, he stared for a long time, unable to even know how to retaliate.
With a sword?
Abadon glanced at his sword, then recalled Xisi's hammer strike upon entry.
Although his demon sword might indeed damage such Green Skin steel arms, thinking of the full force of that punch transferred to himself, the sword would be fine, but Abadon would have to vomit a lot of blood.
Abadon thought this and decisively sheathed his demon sword; before he had bullied others with his strength, now being bullied by Xisi's brute force, he realized this absolute power gap, making combat unbearably frustrating!
But confirming he could not engage in melee, Abadon, worthy of the War General title, immediately chose to keep distance for ranged combat.
Facing Xisi's suddenly leapt massive body, Abadon rolled and crawled aside, daring not to counter, merely widening the gap; then, from countless past duels in his memory, he selected the one most akin to the current situation and employed the opponent's tactics.
Just as he raised Horace's Claw, capable of launching Exquisite Enchanted Bombs, Abadon suddenly realized that this move was exactly his reaction when Kaerjia was being chased and struck that day.
Only that day, Kaerjia had become him, Abadon, and he, Abadon, had become Xisi.
Abadon fired a barrage of bombs at Xisi while unable to help but jab at Kaerjia.
"This combat power..."
"That day, it should've been you, Kaerjia, who should have jumped the gang!"
Abadon quickly ceased his jab, watching Xisi, whose Gaomao King Kong was still blasted by Exquisite Enchanted Bombs from Horace's Claw, yet Xisi still charged straight at him without dodging; Abadon then prepared to continue learning Kaerjia's advanced duel experience.
He widened the distance again, and seeing Xisi not pursue, Abadon's face brightened; just as he was about to resume fire, he saw Xisi standing still, pulling from behind the Gaomao King Kong a fully Green Skin‑styled 'Super Big Burst Cannon'!
Simultaneously, under Abadon's stunned gaze, Xisi, with a sudden realization of "so it can be done like this", aimed the Super Big Burst Cannon at Abadon.
"Can a duel use ranged weapons?"
"Why didn't you say so earlier!"
