"Ha!"
Xiahou Wuxin bellowed. All the tiny flying swords that Wei Xiaotian launched at him a moment ago were captured by the force field triggered by the bone spurs and the muscles. Entangling his arms that were as thick as his waist, they formed an iron tornado. He laughed aloud. "Wei Xiaotian, I did not lie to you. I have indeed hidden a lot of the most advanced 'test subjects'. I have also learned a lot of complicated arts from them! In front of 'Manjusaka, the City in the Sky', although I am just an insignificant old dog, whoever wants to claim my life will have to pay a terrible price! "
"Leader Xiahou, you have truly gone through a lot of trouble so that your disciple can escape."
Wei Xiaotian wiped away his nonexistent tears. With an even more scornful expression, he said unhurriedly, "It's a pity that your disciple does not seem to appreciate it very much!"
Next to Wei Xiaotian, Xin Xiaoqi was still locked onto by the three gray Exos. Holding her saber with both hands, she lowered her center of gravity, like a female leopard that was crouching in the grass and baring its tusks.
Xiahou Wuxin's face changed greatly, and he was frozen on the spot.
He had taken everything into consideration, including Wei Xiaotian's reaction, the position and speed of the gray Exos, the flaws that they might expose and the remedies that they might take, and the hidden force that he imposed on his disciple and the distance that she could spurt out.
While he stalled those scumbags with his life, she — she should have been able to escape, unless —
"Why — why didn't you leave?"
Xiahou Wuxin looked at Xin Xiaoqi in a daze. Lackluster brilliance beamed out of his hideous face that was as hideous as an animal's. He said bitterly, "You could've left. Why did you come back?"
"If we're leaving, we're leaving together!"
Xin Xiaoqi's eyes were so red that they were burning, and hot tears were rolling inside. She shouted, "In the past twenty years, you've always kicked me away and left me to fend for myself whenever you asked me to do something. But this time — this time, I'm not going to do it again. I'm not going to be kicked away by you. I'm going to stay and fight side by side with you. We're going to break out of Liberty City in broad daylight!"
Xiahou Wuxin was completely stunned. Something on his hideous face that had been sealed for twenty to thirty years was gradually waking up.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. I did not know that such a touching master-disciple relationship could be nurtured in the foul, bloody Land of Sins."
Wei Xiaotian shook his head and sighed. "It's a pity that our battle is not suitable for the slaughter stream. Otherwise, it would have attracted a lot of attention. Chances are that it will be one of the top ten most popular videos today!"
Xiahou Wuxin ignored Wei Xiaotian's mockery. Hot tears mixed with blood flowed out of his crimson eyes. His dry lips trembled for a long time, but he did not know what to say. He simply mumbled, "Too stupid. Xiaoqi, you are too stupid!"
"I've always been a foolish child. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been fooled by you for 20 years."
Biting her lips, Xin Xiaoqi held back her tears and said, "There are still a lot of things that need to be settled between us. I will not let you die here in the hands of these scumbags. Even if you have to die, you can only die in my hands, master!"
"… Alright."
Xiahou Wuxin seemed to have been injected with infinite energy by Xin Xiaoqi's words. Although his body did not expand further, the brilliance beaming out of his crimson eyes was dazzling for all the gray Exos. "If we are leaving, we will leave together. Today, the two of us will fight side by side and annihilate the heartless, inhumane scumbags. Then, we will march out of Liberty City in broad daylight!"
"Got it!"
Xin Xiaoqi could not hold back her tears any longer, but she was still grinning from ear to ear. "Master, one last thing I want to say. You look so handsome right now. You really look like a great hero. If mom was still here, she would definitely be charmed to death by you!"
"Is that so?"
Xiahou Wuxin smiled. The bones all over his body suddenly uttered cracking noises, as if they were both constricting into a giant iron ball and a spring that had been compressed to the bottom. He attacked Wei Xiaotian as quickly as lightning. "With your words, my life has been worth it!"
Boom!
Xiahou Wuxin and Wei Xiaotian punched each other head-on. The iron storm that was entangled in his arm was all blown toward Wei Xiaotian.
Despite the protection of Wei Xiaotian's highly-advanced Crystal Suit, he was still blown almost ten meters away by Xiahou Wuxin's fist that was filled with violence and ecstasy. The arms and the shoulders of the Crystal Suit were cracking, with white smoke popping up chaotically!
There was still no real change of expression on Wei Xiaotian's face. The moment he was blown away, he drew a glittering gun that was vaguely glittering with thousands of runes from his waist with his left hand. After a dazzling transformation, it was attached to his entire left arm. Dazzling blue brilliance spurted out of the muzzle that was even larger than a fist.
The cluster of blue light split into a dozen or so streaks of blue light in midair. Each streak of blue light was connected to each other by extremely thin threads of light. They crisscrossed and turned into a huge net that covered the sky, enveloping Xiahou Wuxin from head to toe.
In the meantime, the other ten or so gray Exos all took action. They knew that Xiahou Wuxin had activated his techniques to the maximum and was unstoppable. Instead of fighting Xiahou Wuxin head-on, they simply wandered and harassed him from a distance, restricting Xiahou Wuxin to the coverage of the giant net of blue brilliance.
Xiahou Wuxin had pushed Wei Xiaotian, who was wearing a Crystal Suit, back three steps with his fleshly body. He had tried his best, too. There were even signs of fractures on his entire right arm. Harassed by everybody else, he could not catch his breath and was immediately enshrouded by the giant net of blue brilliance. Zi! Zi! Zi!
Zi! Zi! Zi!
The giant net of blue brilliance enshrouded Xiahou Wuxin's magnificent body like a demon beast that was alive, leaving wounds that looked like baby lips on his iron-like muscles.
There were even a few blue threads that burrowed into the depths of his blood vessels like poisonous snakes and nematodes.
"Ahhh!"
Unable to move at all, Xiahou Wuxin was in excruciating pain. He roared like a flood breaking out of a dam and exerted his strength without caring about anything, vaguely showing signs of ripping apart the giant net of blue brilliance!
Without even blinking, Wei Xiaotian fell on one of his knees and used his right arm as a cannon. The gun on his left arm was transformed again. Hundreds of runes revolved quickly at the same time, and a second cluster of crimson light was shot out!
The cluster of light, however, was not aimed at Xiahou Wuxin directly but at the top of his head. After it exploded abruptly, it crashed down brutally like an invisible mountain, collapsing Xiahou Wuxin and the ground in a range of almost ten meters around him!
The magical equipment that looked like a gun was much more advanced than regular storm bolters and Vulcan cannons. As a matter of fact, it was not exactly a gun but an 'array activator'. What other guns shot out were bullets, but what this' gun 'shot out were arrays!
The arrays that had been activated by Wei Xiaotian boasted the ability to change gravity and air pressure at will, making the target feel that they were in the middle of a super high pressure thousands of meters below the ocean. All the internal organs and the muscle joints would be crushed!
"Ahhhhhhhh!"
Before Xiahou Wuxin got rid of the influence of the first array of blue brilliance, he was pressed by the invisible mountain again. His knees hit the ground brutally, and blood spurted out crazily like a volcano eruption.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
Faced with such a cunning and brutal monster as Xiahou Wuxin, even an Immortal Cultivator such as Wei Xiaotian dared not be careless. He pulled the trigger nonstop and strengthened the pressure of the array.
Xiahou Wuxin tried to stand up again and again, only to be pushed to his knees again and again. His knees were almost shattered, leaving two crimson marks on the hard ground!
"Master!"
Xin Xiaoqi shrieked and waved her dagger, trying to rescue him. But she was not strong enough. In the eyes of the real experts, she was no better than Han Te and Coloured Glaze, the two little fellows who followed Li Yao.
Even the gray Exos that Wei Xiaotian brought were no match for her, much less Wei Xiaotian himself.
"Pu!"
She was knocked to the ground by the gray Exos for the fifth time. Vomiting blood crazily, the spurting magical equipment on her hands and feet ran out of crystals and turned into heavy shackles, making it impossible for her to stand on her feet again.
Without looking at Xin Xiaoqi, Wei Xiaotian threw more than ten arrays at Xiahou Wuxin. It was not until the ground around Xiahou Wuxin had been pressed more than one meter that he finally set the 'array activator' to the third mode. Dangerous orange brilliance beamed out of the barrel as it locked onto Xiahou Wuxin's abdomen.
The Immortal Cultivator shook his head slightly and sighed. "Why bother? Is it going to help?"
At this moment, Xiahou Wuxin was bleeding, his flesh was torn apart, and his broken bones were protruding out of his rotten flesh. He looked more miserable than when he pretended to be wounded by A Boxing Champion earlier.
He was still trying to resist the invisible pressure from the sky time and time again, even if his bones were breaking one after another. Hearing Wei Xiaotian's confusion, he glanced at his opponent with his swollen eyes and smiled miserably. "It's not going to help, but it's still necessary."
"Why?"
Wei Xiaotian said, "You clearly know that it's a dead end, so why struggle on your deathbed and put yourself in such a sorry state?"
"It's very simple. Because …"
Xiahou Wuxin took a deep, deep breath. Under the gazes of Wei Xiaotian, Xin Xiaoqi, and all the gray Exos, flames of spiritual energy that were a hundred times more powerful than before suddenly burst out of his body. He was truly able to stand on his feet against the suppression of more than ten gravity and pressure enhancement arrays. "I am a human being, not a dog!"
At the same time, chaotic explosions and gunshots echoed around them. A large crowd of mobsters and stragglers rushed at them like a flood.
"Xiahou Wuxin is over there!"
"I'm told that he has hidden dozens of treasures that contain everything. Capture him and interrogate him now!"
