Naturally, Li Yao was not scared of the half-monster and half-machine guy.
However, he was surrounded by bandits and thugs. Chances were that a lot of Immortal Cultivator players and tourists were mixed in. He was just a 'ragged' spiritual puppet. What reason did he have to kill the guy in front of so many people?
The smoke above his head was thinner and thinner. Any unexpected action might be noticed by the Immortal Cultivators.
Li Yao was so anxious that he pretended to be staggering and dodged the bombardment of the Gravity Hammer clumsily. His enormous body was shaking because of the blast and the interference of gravity. He was like a lone boat in a surging ocean that could be blown apart at any moment.
It was not going to work out if things went on like this.
With his disguise, there was no way that he could avoid so many bombardments.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! The enemy burst into fury after failing to blow Li Yao into garbage almost ten times in a row. The honeycomb-type launcher in front of his lower body spurted out a thunderstorm and drowned Li Yao immediately.
Li Yao gnashed his teeth in fury in the smoke and fire. He was of a mind to go on a killing spree without caring about anything. If there was no other choice, he could only release a lot of smoke grenades to disrupt the battlefield and blow the monster into meat paste.
However, the risks were still high. Judging from the monster's capability, he was certain that he must be a notorious expert in Liberty City. Many people would certainly pay attention to the cause of his death. Chances were that they would trace the clues back to him and cause him endless trouble. His plan to sneak into the City in the Sky would be aborted before it was carried out!
What should he do?
Li Yao couldn't have gnashed his teeth more.
Right then —
The thunderstorm came to an abrupt halt. The whole world seemed to have been frozen in iron.
A turbulent whirlpool was formed in the middle of this solidified steel!
Li Yao's soul spread out, only to discover that an iron wall had suddenly risen in front of him and blocked the enemy's bombardment.
After a moment of shock, he realized that it was an illusion created by a monstrous aura. The one who had truly descended from the sky and landed heavily between him and the monster was none other than "A Boxing Champion" Lei Zonglie!
The Fist King's brown cape had long been ripped apart, but his silver metal shell had turned crimson where hot steam was popping up, making him look like a cluster of iron that had been heated.
His domineering aura condensed into a colorful vortex around him, making him not look like a person, but like the gathering of thousands of soldiers and horses!
Thousands of rune arrays had been carved on his iron shell. At this moment, every rune array was glowing, shaking, roaring, and roaring, as if they were about to float from his body and form a translucent, unstoppable rune armor!
The overwhelming pressure froze all the mini flying swords and explosive bullets that the enemy was shooting at him in midair. A series of feeble explosions even burst out into a dazzling wall of fire.
The monster on his opposite side was obviously frightened, but it could not stop its body from waving the meteor hammer to the maximum under the inertia of fury and bloodthirst just now. It smashed at him like a roaring meteor.
BOOM! BOOM!
The earth below A Boxing Champion's feet exploded. Rocks and mud surged up crazily like a spring. His immaculate body of strengthened alloys arched like a dragon that was lurking in the abyss, and all his strength was hidden in the iron fist at his waist.
Li Yao even felt that the fist had its own life. It was absorbing the strength of the mountains, the oceans, the sky, the earth, and the entire world, while it roared hungrily and thirstily!
A Boxing Champion's fist had been launched!
There was no sound at all. A Boxing Champion's fist was far faster than the speed of sound. It collided head-on with the meteor hammer, but its strength was soft and firm. It actually knocked the meteor hammer back without any damage.
Before the meteor hammer could return to its owner, A Boxing Champion's second fist followed.
Under the acceleration of the first fist, this was the real killing move!
After the punch was launched, the air within a radius of dozens of meters seemed to have been emptied. The ground sank several centimeters deep and countless crisscrossing cracks were torn apart. Li Yao felt as if he had felt the roar of the main cannon of a crystal warship at the closest distance, right next to the shell of the turret!
Looking at the opposite side, the half-machine, half-monster monster didn't even have the time to scream before its upper body was completely smashed into smithereens by A Boxing Champion, leaving only a bloody bottom that was still trembling and twitching.
A Boxing Champion's strength, on the other hand, continued pushing behind him, not entirely satisfied yet, plowing a trench more than one meter deep where hot steam was popping up.
Within the radius of a hundred meters, all the villains had their internal organs ruptured and died with blood oozing out of their seven orifices. Even the villains who were hit by the shockwave were sent flying. Their faces were pale, and they vomited blood, losing their ability to fight.
"The power of a single punch has reached this level. The title of Fist King is well-deserved!"
Li Yao's soul was beating like a heart as he secretly complimented. 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie was indeed the strongest spectral Cultivator that he had ever seen in his life. There was really no telling what kind of uncanny techniques the guy had practiced that allowed his remaining soul to be so strong!
Perhaps, the answer to the question was also what the Immortal Cultivators wanted to know. That was why they had secretly arranged such a 'Battle of Liberty City'!
"Xiahou Wuxin!"
Lei Zonglie blew up a lot of enemies within a hundred square meters with one punch and blocked the enemy's pursuit with his own strength. Then, he roared in the direction of Liberty City, "I'll spare your life today. If you still do not dare to come out of the city and have a duel with me tomorrow, don't blame me for razing the entire Liberty City to the ground!"
Thunderous roars were echoing nonstop. None of the defenders, including the Immortal Cultivator players, had the courage to step forward and compete with 'A Boxing Champion'.
"Retreat!"
A Boxing Champion looked at Li Yao and waved his hands, covering the retreat in person so that the attackers could retreat from the battlefield in an orderly manner.
Li Yao shuddered in coldness. He felt that A Boxing Champion's look was more than he thought.
Perhaps, A Boxing Champion had seen through his disguise when he was actually dodging the monster's attack at ease on the surface.
…
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze slowly woke up.
They discovered that they were in the secret chamber where A Boxing Champion kept his spiritual puppets, on the top floor of Great Iron City that they visited the previous night.
'Grandpa Yao' was next to them, and 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie was still sitting on the throne of gears and looking at them without saying anything.
Other than them, there was no fifth person in the secret chamber.
The two little fellows were greatly alarmed. Looking at each other in bewilderment, they both looked at Li Yao in confusion.
"Don't look at me like that. I don't know what's going on, either!"
Li Yao's soul was soaked in cold sweat. "Today's siege has come to an end. Just now, A Boxing Champion took action in person and saved us from a monster. Then, he ordered his subordinates to bring us to this place. Who knows what he is up to exactly? I estimate that he is probably still suspicious of me. You are obviously telling the Fist King that there is something wrong with me by looking at me in such a hazy and craving for knowledge! "
The two little fellows were both stunned. It was not until then that they realized that they had made a great mistake, but they did not know how to fix it. Their expressions were rather awkward.
Compared to 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie, who was a giant in the Land of Sins, the two of them were too insignificant to struggle at all.
Li Yao was secretly thinking to himself, too. What was' A Boxing Champion 'Lei Zonglie up to exactly?
Why did he vaguely sense the same conclusion as the mental devil — that A Boxing Champion seemed to be uncannily 'interested' in him, if not rather subtly 'fond' of him?
He can't really be so perverted, can he?
Li Yao's soul felt goosebumps all over his body.
Seeing that the two little fellows had woken up and the subtle interaction between them and Li Yao, A Boxing Champion's eyes were even more thoughtful. He said casually, "The monster that I killed with one punch just now was named 'Bloody Butcher' Lei Kuang. He was one of the seven most famous rapscallions under Xiahou Wuxin, the leader of Liberty City.
"Although we failed to break into Liberty City in one go today, we have figured out the enemy's real situation and slain such a renowned warrior as' Bloody Butcher 'Lei Kuang. This is already a minor victory.
"It shouldn't have been easy to kill such a tough guy like 'Bloody Butcher' Lei Kuang. Thanks to the two of you, he was so infuriated that he made a mistake in judgment and failed to detect my arrival, which gave me a chance to kill him with one punch. Therefore, you have made great contributions!"
Han Te and the Coloured Glaze looked at each other in bewilderment. They did not know what A Boxing Champion was talking about at all.
Li Yao was secretly mumbling to himself, too. A Boxing Champion was only saying that because he was looking for an excuse to spend time with them — no, with him alone.
In fact, with A Boxing Champion's overwhelming punches, if he really wanted to kill 'Bloody Butcher' Lei Kuang, who could've stopped him unless Xiahou Wuxin, the leader of Liberty City, was there in person, or a group of Immortal Cultivators?
"I, Lei Zonglie, am a man who values fair rewards and punishments. Whatever your background is, as long as you make contributions, you will be greatly rewarded!"
A Boxing Champion stared at the two little fellows and suddenly changed the topic. "However, judging from your young and innocent appearance, you do not seem to be of the same background as the other people in the 'Red Viper Squad', do you?"
Han Te, the Coloured Glaze, and Xin Xiaoqi had long discussed the standard answer about their backgrounds with each other. Therefore, they replied half-truthfully, "A Boxing Champion, it is true that we were not of the same background at the beginning, but we all came to join your army from different directions. We were ambushed by the Flying Leopard Hall on our way and were saved by them. As it happened, we had an invitation card with us. Therefore, we formed a team and looked after each other."
It was not strange that the Fist King's temporary team was formed more and more frequently during his recruitment.
"That explains a lot."
A Boxing Champion's voice was even milder than before, but it did not match his intimidating body at all. "Don't get me wrong. I've known Xin Xiaoqi since a long time ago. She accepted the mission from me and delivered the invitation cards to the major forces for me. Therefore, I did not suspect you. I was just curious.
