"Click!"
Just as the Gold Armored Saber Mantis was bombarded into retreating step by step, its flesh and blood splattering everywhere, and its severed limbs scattered all over the ground, an ear-piercing mechanical sound suddenly came from the Six Barrel Rotary Cannon. The unrestrained firepower came to an abrupt end, as if a violent dance of flames had been forcibly interrupted.
The bullets were all used up!
Li Yao slightly wrinkled his brows. He understood why Ding Ling Dong and the other close-combat cultivators didn't like to use firearms.
Although the firepower of firearms was ferocious, the consumption rate of bullets was too fast. Several hundred bullets couldn't even completely kill a middle-rank Demon Soldier.
If it were a high-rank Demon Soldier, Demon General, or even a Demon King, then how many bullets would it take?
Only an army with powerful logistical support could unscrupulously pour out firepower in a frontal battlefield.
It was simply impossible for a combat squad formed by cultivators to carry hundreds of thousands of bullets at a time and enter the depths of the Wasteland for several days and nights of fighting.
In this kind of small-scale, long, and high-intensity battle, fists and swords were still more reliable.
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! "
The Gold Armored Saber Mantis's screams were incomparably ear-piercing, sharp, and berserk.
Although it had yet to be killed, it was seriously injured. Not only was more than half of its carapace torn, but three of its eight limbs were broken. Even its right forelimb, which had a sawtooth blade shape, was broken, and it flowed with a fishy purple liquid.
Where was the slightest bit of the imposing manner of a Mantis King? It was simply like a stray dog with broken hind legs.
The Gold Armored Saber Mantis was seriously injured, but it had become even more berserk, tyrannical, and bloodthirsty. Its last trace of reason had been swallowed by the sharp pain. Its scarlet compound eyes seemed as if they were about to drip blood!
It had also discovered that Li Yao had used up the last bullet. Its screams became incomparably cruel, and its limbs retracted. It retreated two steps and was about to charge forward!
"Not good!"
Everyone's complexion suddenly changed. Only now did they realize that Li Yao had approached step by step during his display of firepower. He had already faintly broken away from their protection and penetrated deep into the enemy's territory alone. He walked in front of the Gold Armored Saber Mantis.
Regardless of whether it was a refiner or a heavy firepower expert, the consequences of approaching an injured and berserk demon beast without protection were very serious!
Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan glanced at each other and nodded at the same time. They were about to step forward to save him.
"Wait!"
Ding Ling Dong suddenly called out to them. With a calm smile on his face, he nodded with his chin. "Don't be anxious. Let's observe the situation first."
While they were in a daze, another shocking change occurred in front of them.
Li Yao threw the Six Barrel Rotary Cannon to the side. He unloaded the large metal box that he had been carrying.
"Boom!" He heavily smashed into the ground, causing dust to fly everywhere.
Li Yao muttered something under his breath as his hands transformed into a mass of grey mist, operating at lightning speed.
The dozens of rune arrays around the iron box suddenly lit up, forming a series of complicated runes that intersected with each other.
Accompanied by a smooth mechanical sound, the four sides of the large metal box suddenly opened. Countless crystal gears were exposed.
As the gears rotated at high speed, the entire structure changed, turning into a portable weapon rack!
Swords, spears, swords, and halberds. Axes, battleaxes, hooks, tridents … Eighteen types of weapons were available. All of them were close-combat magical treasures that overflowed with brilliance and radiance, soaring to the heavens!
"That's too exaggerated!"
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They didn't expect Li Yao to carry so many close-combat magical treasures with him.
He truly deserved to be called a refiner!
The Gold Armored Saber Mantis was intimidated by the cold light emitted by the weapons and was stunned for a long time. Then, its extremely savage bestial nature was stimulated by the sharp pain as it brandished its sickle-like forelimbs. It suddenly charged forward!
Li Yao was calm and unhurried as he extended his left arm toward the weapon rack. He put a black iron ring on his wrist.
Soon after, he whistled and five palm-sized black shields flew into the air. They slowly revolved around him, sometimes combining together to form a large shield that appeared in front of his left arm. Sometimes, they scattered in all directions to protect every vital point on his body.
Li Yao's right hand reached out and picked up a fiery-red battle saber as if he was holding a raging flame. The corner of his mouth curled up as he smiled at the Gold Armored Saber Mantis.
The Gold Armored Saber Mantis went berserk as it screamed and heavily crashed into him!
Li Yao didn't dodge. The five small shields on his left arm combined into a large shield and forcibly withstood the Gold Armored Saber Mantis's crash.
With a boom, Li Yao flew seven to eight meters away.
The Gold Armored Saber Mantis also retreated four to five steps. It staggered and was somewhat dizzy.
"This resistance is too terrifying. He can actually clash head-on with a demon beast!"
Everyone, including the tall and sturdy Lu Tieshan, trembled in fear as they watched.
Although the Gold Armored Saber Mantis was seriously injured and its strength might have fallen to the level of a "Low Level Demon Soldier", demon beasts were originally known for their great strength. After being injured, they became even more berserk.
Li Yao was actually able to clash head-on with it?
Furthermore...
Li Yao directly somersaulted in the air and landed on the ground. He squatted deeply with both of his legs and let out a long howl as he pounced forward. The tip of the flaming battle saber was released to a range of three meters as it ruthlessly chopped down at the Gold Armored Saber Mantis!
He actually recovered from the crash before the Gold Armored Saber Mantis!
"Hiss!"
The Gold Armored Saber Mantis was still somewhat dizzy. It didn't expect this human to be so valiant.
Caught off guard, it was slashed by the saber.
Although its carapace was incomparably sturdy, the saber still pierced deeply into its torso. A large amount of purple body fluid burst out, which was instantly evaporated by the flaming battle saber, making a sizzling sound.
"What kind of battle saber is this? Why is the temperature so high? Even the carapace of the Gold Armored Saber Mantis can be split open with a single slash? "
The freshmen had gradually become accustomed to Li Yao's valiant body.
However, they were curious about the strangely shaped battle saber in Li Yao's hand.
Especially the sword cultivators of the Chaos Edge Hall. When they saw the sharpness of the flaming battle saber, their eyes lit up as they discussed spiritedly. However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't remember which sect had refined this divine weapon.
When Li Yao's saber hit its mark, he stopped while he was ahead. In a flash, he retreated five meters, narrowly avoiding the Gold Armored Saber Mantis's violent counterattack. He put the flaming battle saber back on the weapon rack and pulled out a chainsword.
Not only was this chainsword's blade particularly wide, but its sawtooth was slightly curved like a wolf's fang. It was unknown what forging method was used to forge it. The tip of the sawtooth was faintly suffused with blood. Its imposing manner was extremely frightening.
Li Yao's hand trembled, and the wolf's sawtooth began to vibrate at high speed. It cut through the air, making a frightening whining sound.
Li Yao brandished the chainsword. Once again, he pounced!
In the next ten minutes, after Li Yao's dazzling display of firepower, he once again contributed a brilliant display of close combat magical equipment!
In addition to the flaming battle saber and the wolf's fang chainsword, he pulled out battle axes, sledgehammers, long spears … more than a dozen kinds of close combat magical equipment.
Each of them had a peculiar shape and were very different from the close combat magical equipment commonly seen on the market.
The astonishment in Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan's eyes grew more and more intense.
Others were astonished by Li Yao's endless variety of magical equipment, but they were astonished by Li Yao's incomparably valiant physique.
The two of them realized. No matter what magical equipment Li Yao used, there was only one way to attack.
It was to meet force with force without any fancy tricks. First, he would use the shield to fiercely collide with the Gold Armored Saber Mantis. Then, he would take advantage of the Gold Armored Saber Mantis's dizziness to quickly pounce. He would launch an attack.
And before the Gold Armored Saber Mantis woke up, he would quickly retreat and switch to a second weapon.
It was a very simple and crude tactic, but it was absolutely effective.
However, only a monster like Li Yao, with his insane resistance, could employ such a tactic.
If it were someone else, even with the protection of a shield, perhaps after three to five collisions. They would still vomit three liters of blood.
"What do you think of Li Yao's battle strength? If he wasn't facing a demon beast, but one of us, what do you think would be the outcome? "
Zhao Tianchong whispered to Lu Tieshan.
Lu Tieshan muttered to himself. He said:
"Li Yao's strength and resistance are both very astonishing. His instantaneous explosive power is also very powerful. Look, he squats deeply and suddenly explodes. His speed suddenly soars to the limit. Even the Gold Armored Saber Mantis would find it hard to react. "
"Apart from that, he is very good at defense. He must have cultivated a cultivation technique specifically for defense. His spirit energy has formed a strange protective membrane around his body. The Gold Armored Saber Mantis's several fatal attacks were all slid away by this protective membrane! "
"With this layer of spirit energy protective membrane, coupled with his steel-like physique, Li Yao's defense is probably higher than the Gold Armored Saber Mantis. Even if I were to use the" Thunder Devil Fist ", I still wouldn't have the confidence to blast open his defense."
"However —"
Lu Tieshan changed the topic and said with some confusion, "Compared to his defense, his offense is simply a mess. It's unbearable to look at. He's completely at the level of a layman!"
Zhao Tianchong nodded and said:
"I agree with you, but I think that student Li Yao's choice is very wise."
"Wise?"
Lu Tieshan scratched his head and asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Tianchong faintly smiled and explained:
"A person's time and energy are limited. It is impossible to learn everything. Student Li Yao was able to modify the 1st Generation Tai'e crafting furnace. Clearly, he has spent a lot of time and energy on refining. How much time does he have for martial arts training?"
"Since he doesn't have much time, he must first learn more practical skills."
"With great strength, he can carry more magical equipment and materials, displaying his advantages as a 'man with many treasures'."
"Strong resistance and a brilliant defensive cultivation technique can help him increase his chances of survival on the battlefield."
"As for offensive techniques, it doesn't matter if he learns them or not. In any case, he is a refiner and not the main force in battle."
After Lu Tieshan finished listening, he let out a long sigh of relief and said with lingering fear:
"Now that you said it, I understand. It seems that this kid is still a normal human. He doesn't know everything. His biggest weakness is that he isn't good at attacking."
Zhao Tianchong said:
"It can't be said to be a weakness. Everyone's career choices are different, so the direction of development is certainly different. If a person can refine, has extraordinary strength, and is proficient in fighting, then it's simply..."
He shook his head and didn't continue speaking.
At this moment, a strange change suddenly occurred.
The Gold Armored Saber Mantis was covered in cuts and bruises, and the purple liquid in its body was almost drained dry. It finally couldn't stand the head-on confrontation with Li Yao. After letting out a shriek, two thin transparent wings suddenly opened on both sides of its body with a whoosh!
With a light flick, the Gold Armored Saber Mantis instantly flew more than ten meters away and fled in panic!
"Li Yao actually forced a Gold Armored Saber Mantis to retreat by himself?"
Until now, there were still many freshmen who didn't dare to believe their eyes.
Li Yao calmly took out a small remote control from his waist. With a smile on his face, he aimed it at the direction the Gold Armored Saber Mantis was fleeing and gently pressed it.
Boom Boom Boom Boom Boom!
The Gold Armored Saber Mantis suddenly trembled and its whole body exploded.
The dozens of fireballs instantly expanded and turned into blooming blood lotuses! (To be continued)
