That was why A Boxing Champion had broken into the defense line of Liberty City unstoppably on his own.
As he savaged and rampaged like a volcano eruption, the morale of the defenders of Liberty City was indeed riddled with holes like cotton that had been torn apart.
Other than the gangs that had followed Xiahou Wuxin for decades and tied themselves to the tank of Liberty City, the tough bandits and thugs that had been recruited temporarily in the recent months were all hesitating, looking for ways to protect themselves or even change sides. The barrage of the hasty counterattack became disordered.
The attackers were all seasoned tigers and wolves. How could they not see the wavering of the defenders? The momentum of the charge was immediately increased by multiple levels. The iron torrents raised surging tides and turned into raging ferocious beasts that smashed at the enemy's head without caring about their own safety!
Everybody had expected that the defense line of Liberty City would be broken, but they did not expect it to be broken so quickly.
If the situation went on, most of the defenders would probably lose the courage to fight in the street and turn into routed soldiers who would loot the burning house.
"Xiahou Wuxin!"
A Boxing Champion burst into laughter. Pointing the flag of A Boxing Champion at the depths of Liberty City, he roared, "After being the master of Liberty City for decades, have your bones been soaked in wine and meat? Do you dare to show up and fight me, A Boxing Champion?"
"Fight A Boxing Champion!"
"Fight the king!"
"Fight!"
"Fight! Fight! Fight! Fight!"
A Boxing Champion's roars, with loud echoes, turned into overlapping tides that spread to the front of the battlefield and hit the chests of the defenders brutally like giant cannons. A lot of people felt that their legs were too weak to hold their weapons anymore.
Strength was the ultimate law in the Land of Sins.
The leader of Liberty City had no choice but to show up.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Li Yao keenly sensed that thousands of streaks of brilliance were darting out of the magnificent buildings near the towers of heaven deep inside Liberty City. They overlapped and attacked A Boxing Champion at a high speed.
They were all flying swords that could cut through hair and cut through iron like mud!
Under the observation of Li Yao's Primordial Spirit, these flying swords were all entangled by strands of spirit threads, and the spirit threads intertwined and intertwined with each other, forming a huge net that covered the sky.
At the center of the flying sword network was a cluster of spiritual waves no weaker than those of A Boxing Champion. Only an expert in the Yuanying level could release such spiritual waves!
Boom!
At the center of Great Iron City, the Shooting Star Plasma Cannon opened fire again, as if the earth's crust was cracking, a volcano was erupting, or a meteor was crashing into the moon.
The dense formation of flying swords flew straight toward the plasma. Thousands of flying swords shone brightly at the same time, and the light was even brighter than the plasma. They formed a bloody mouth and instantly tore apart, devoured, and fused with the plasma!
All the flying swords were as red as fire because of the plasma. Attracted and manipulated by the spirit threads, they were condensed into a 'giant of swords' almost ten meters tall!
The giant was surrounded by coldly shining blades and tips of swords. Even its indifferent facial organs were made of tiny flying swords. The aura around it couldn't have been sharper and more intimidating, too. After only one look at it, one would feel that one's eyeballs had been pierced through by needles. It couldn't have looked more hideous!
What an impressive array of swords!
Li Yao secretly complimented. The thousands of flying swords were indeed not simple. They should be some sort of systematic array of intelligent flying swords. Every flying sword had been embedded with a super-tiny crystal processor or chip, which could be used as an independent combat unit or combined into the armor of the commander. It was a very advanced and even crazy weapon system. Li Yao thought to himself, "That's right.
The so-called 'spiritual puppets' did not necessarily have hands and feet like human beings or animals. As long as they were driven by spiritual energy, controlled by crystal processors, and boasted certain autonomous patrol and combat abilities, they could be called 'spiritual puppets' in a broad sense.
In other words, the thousands of intelligent flying swords under the control of Xiahou Wuxin, the leader of Liberty City, could be counted as a variant of spiritual puppets, except that they were more exaggerated.
Did 'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie, a 'spiritual puppet enthusiast', have anything to do with Xiahou Wuxin's array of flying swords that he chose Liberty City as his primary target?
"Lei Zonglie …"
Xiahou Wuxin's voice that was as gloomy as a blade echoed inside the giant of swords that was brimming with killing intent. "You are asking to be killed!"
The competition of the two experts immediately silenced the battlefield. Everybody was caught in half a second of stagnation under the scourge of their intimidating auras.
Even the players and tourists of the Immortal Cultivators temporarily stopped their slaughter and observed the two 'big toys' with great interest, as if they were appreciating the competition of lions and tigers that was specially arranged by a circus.
The two experts attacked almost at the same time.
While Lei Zonglie's fists turned into two shooting stars, the array of flying swords on Xiahou Wuxin exploded again.
The thousands of flying swords, like unpredictable demons, suddenly congregated into an unstoppable torrent of swords. Then, they turned into dozens of rapidly spinning caltrops. Then, they crawled into the ground sordidly and attacked the Fist King from below.
The Fist King's attacks, on the other hand, were not fancy at all. His attacks were bold and ferocious as he bombarded the enemy with his iron fists.
He was surrounded by an extremely powerful force field shield. All the flying swords would be disrupted when they were half a meter away from him and spluttered to all directions.
The outcome of a battle of experts could only be decided by a hair's breadth.
Lei Zonglie and Xiahou Wuxin, two great heroes of the Land of Sins, were like two tyrannosaurs that were unbelievably fast colliding head-on, raising surging blasts.
All the people and crystal tanks within a hundred square meters were riddled with holes by the splashing blades and air currents before they were completely crushed into a thin layer of debris. The people who were running away while covering their heads could not see the battlefield that was enshrouded in smoke and flames of spiritual energy.
Li Yao was the only one who could see everything clearly when he observed with his soul.
This was the first time that he had observed a life-and-death battle between two experts in the Yuanying level as a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator. It was quite an amazing feeling.
In the state of his soul, the whole world was dissected into a colorful ocean of spiritual energy. Lei Zonglie and Xiahou Wuxin were exactly two enormous swirls in the ocean, trying to swallow each other.
Li Yao's heart was as clear as a mirror. He suddenly understood something.
The specific moves and movements were not important. What mattered was the collision of the two swirls of spiritual energy to see which one of them could disrupt the rhythm of the other's rotation and drag the other into their own rhythm.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Shua! Li Yao 'saw' that the dozens of flying swords that Xiahou Wuxin boosted hard finally broke through the interference force field around Lei Zonglie and pierced into his iron shell. They either exploded, triggered dazzling electric arcs, or were frozen into translucent ice. It seemed that Lei Zonglie had been heavily wounded.
But it was useless.
Xiahou Wuxin was too focused on the gains and losses of his moves to notice that the rhythm of his spiritual energy had been vaguely dragged into A Boxing Champion's swirl!
"Not good!"
Han Te shrieked. "A Boxing Champion has been hit!"
"No."
Li Yao said casually, "The leader of Liberty City has failed."
Hardly had he uttered the word 'failed' when wild laughter echoed from the middle of the thousands of flying swords. The array of flying swords seemed to have been corrupted by weird sorcery and froze in midair!
Like a tiger that had jumped out of a trap, A Boxing Champion stepped out of the siege of his opponent's flying swords and locked onto Xiahou Wuxin, who was hiding behind the flying swords.
Boom!
A Boxing Champion punched eighteen times in the blink of an eye.
The force of his punches could not have been weirder. Every punch carried the force from two directions. They did not blow the opponent away but seemed to have 'nailed' the opponent in midair heavily.
The eighteen heavy punches hit Xiahou Wuxin's chest at the same time. It was not until the last punch that Xiahou Wuxin finally managed to break free from A Boxing Champion's control and flew out like a kite whose string had been cut.
While he was still in midair, devastating arrows of blood were spurting out of his helmet.
His array of flying swords, on the other hand, fell into the control of A Boxing Champion and revolved slowly around A Boxing Champion.
How is it possible?
Sharp waves were bouncing out of Li Yao's soul. Lei Zonglie has fooled everybody! He is not just a simple-minded warrior with more brawn than brains, but also an expert of crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus? He has hacked the control network of Xiahou Wuxin's array of flying swords without alarming anyone in the middle of a soul-stirring battle. There is no telling what kind of thing he has implanted that has allowed him to take over the highest permissions of the weapon system?
What — what a terrifying ability to hack the crystal processors and the Spiritual Nexus is exactly!
Li Yao thought for a moment. With the abilities that he inherited from Professor Mo Xuan and the extraterrestrial devils, it should be possible for him to sabotage the control network of Xiahou Wuxin's sword array. But to hack it without alarming anyone, implant a virus, and take over the permissions was too appalling.
'A Boxing Champion' Lei Zonglie, what kind of monster are you exactly?
Li Yao's curiosity was almost exploding his soul.
In the eyes of other people, the final battle of the two experts had ended with A Boxing Champion blowing the leader of Liberty City away with one punch. It was almost the knell of death for the defenders of Liberty City.
The battlefield that had just been frozen burst out with energy ten times more violent. The fire of war swept toward Liberty City like magma. Countless people followed A Boxing Champion and charged at Xiahou Wuxin's landing point, trying to cut off the leader of Liberty City's head and hang it on the flag of A Boxing Champion.
Right then, an abrupt change took place!
Huh. Something else is happening.
Li Yao observed every subtle ripple of spiritual energy on the battlefield from the high vantage point.
Right when A Boxing Champion charged into Liberty City in the lead, soaring flames and intense venomous fog suddenly burst out from the landing point where Xiahou Wuxin was blown away. Dozens of intimidating auras appeared next to Xiahou Wuxin mysteriously and darted at A Boxing Champion!
Behind A Boxing Champion, almost ten Immortal Cultivator players, among the 'comrades' who were supposed to fight side by side with him, aimed their blades at A Boxing Champion and launched unexpected assassinations.
Among them were Red Viper, Black Spear, and Flash Point, the three 'trial-takers'!
That explains a lot!
Li Yao finally understood the 'main quest' of the three trial-takers. As it turned out, it was not to conquer Liberty City but to assassinate A Boxing Champion. They had been assigned to Liberty City's side since the very beginning, and they were just assassins who had snuck into A Boxing Champion's army.
There was probably something wrong with Xin Xiaoqi, too. She had been bribed by the leader of Liberty City a long time ago. That was why she said that Han Te and the Coloured Glaze were going to die anyway!
