"What … kind of Colossus is this exactly?"
Yue Wushuang and Song Huanzhen's databases of Colossi shrieked as they searched for all the data as quickly as possible, only to discover that they had never seen such a powerful and terrifying Colossus before. The enemy's instantaneous energy output clearly exceeded the limits of their detection!
The Immortal Cultivators' three Colossi had obvious advantages against Long Yangjun's one Colossus.
However, the Colossus "Arsonist" snuck all the way to the Great Iron Plants from the magma below the ground and lurked in the scorching magma until the most appropriate moment. It did not attack until it blew up a Colossus on the Immortal Cultivators' side, turning the combat ability of the two parties into a two-versus-two!
In terms of absolute strength, Long Yangjun, who had fully released her primeval bloodline, and Li Yao, who had been fully upgraded by the information life, were more or less stronger than Yue Wushuang and Song Huanzhen.
The only thing that the Immortal Cultivators could count on seemed to be their absolute advantage in numbers.
"Open fire! Open fire! Open fire!"
Yue Wushuang gnashed her teeth in the tactical communication channel.
However, before the Immortal Cultivators around realized what was going on, the Arsonist had already hummed and glowed brilliantly, splashing away the magma that stained its body like raindrops.
Every cluster of magma accelerated to the highest speed, turning into furious bullets that lunged at the Immortal Cultivators as if they had grown eyes.
A lot of low-level Immortal Cultivators failed to dodge in time and were pierced through by the magma. When the magma was accelerated to multiple times the speed of sound, its damage was no different from that of the most powerful bullets of spiritual energy. Also, the magma was in a half-frozen state. Even if the spiritual shield resisted it, it was easy for the magma to be split into even tinier hot streams, leaving thousands of holes on the Crystal Suit and the fleshly body of the low-level Immortal Cultivators.
It was far from the end.
Under the scourge of the stormy magma, the armor on the shoulders of the Arsonist was opened at the same time, revealing the smart warheads that looked like honeycombs inside. All the warheads darted out like tiny flying swords, with long exhaust flames behind them. They refracted, rolled, bounced, and split in midair and lunged at the Imperial Guards and the devil huntresses who were overwhelmed.
Every smart bullet that was embedded into the Crystal Suit of the Immortal Cultivators would explode the shell immediately, revealing the super-tiny battle puppets that were as tiny as spiders or even ants. Those puppets crawled into the Crystal Suit and even the body of the Immortal Cultivators through the wounds caused by the magma just now. When the Immortal Cultivators extended their hands to grab them carelessly, they could only catch a slippery tail!
"Ah! Ahhhhhh! "
Heart-Wrenching screams immediately sounded from all directions.
Many Immortal Cultivators were waving their hands and feet with the most twisted faces. Some were running crazily with their heads in their hands, only to stumble and fall to the ground, unable to get back to their feet again. Some were even taking off their crystal suits impatiently, their eyes bloodshot, and cutting their flesh with daggers, trying to dig out the super-tiny battle puppets that had crawled into their bodies. But most of the efforts were in vain. They could only watch the tiny bumps swimming quickly inside their bodies and eventually invading their brains before crawling out of their mouths, noses, eyes, and ears, while they were bleeding.
Faced with such weird attacks, even the elites of the Imperial Guards and the devil huntresses who had high fighting will could not help but feel chilled.
Right then, cracking noises echoed from the forsaken mines and tunnels on the walls again.
It was the battle puppets!
Hundreds of battle puppets in the form of spiders under the control of Xiaoming and Wenwen crawled out of the mines and tunnels and lunged at the Immortal Cultivators in an iron torrent.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! The sound wave cannons that surrounded the Arsonist like a series of satellites boosted the song of endless fire to the maximum. The soundwaves were almost condensed into visible waves and drowned all the Immortal Cultivators.
It was not as simple as a deafening battle song but also a very powerful mental attack that even included Xiaoming and Wenwen's invasion of the tactical network of the Immortal Cultivators!
For a moment, all the Immortal Cultivators were either stalled by magma and the super-tiny spiritual puppets, or they saw horrifying pictures in Li Yao's mental attack, or they found that they were losing the permissions of the Crystal Suit while they were operating in a hurry. Some of them even found that they had been kicked out of the tactical network.
It meant that not only were the communication channels and the command system completely shut off for them, even the identification system was a mess. The automatic locking and attack magical equipment of their allies might hurt them by accident!
Zhi! Zhi! Zhi! Zhi!
The Immortal Cultivators had brought tremendous battle puppets into the underground world as auxiliary forces.
Li Minghui's Black Iron Group boasted tremendous battle puppets as guards, too.
Although the battle puppets' combat ability was not as good as general Immortal Cultivators', their advantage lay in their large number. They were at least ten times more than the Immortal Cultivators and could be considered the most important troop.
But right now, on all the battle puppets that were "supposed" to be loyal to the Immortal Cultivators, the indicator lights and attack rune arrays were flashing ominously. Their crystal processors were squeaking, making their iron skulls and limbs cramp crazily, as if two different forces were competing for the control of their bodies.
The first to "betray" were the battle puppets that belonged to the Black Iron Group.
The reason was simple. Just now, Yue Wushuang threw Li Minghui out to resist Long Yangjun without any hesitation, resulting in the untimely death of the Yuanying expert.
Since Li Minghui was the leader of the Black Iron Group, he naturally had the control passwords and the highest permissions of a lot of battle puppets. The consequence of his untimely death was that he could not change the control passwords in time to activate the dynamic protection mode or launch an aggressive counterattack when the highest permissions were compromised.
Xiaoming and Wenwen seized the loophole and implanted a false command into the control system of the battle puppets of the Black Iron Group, setting one of the leadership of the Black Iron Group as the first candidate to succeed Li Minghui as the commander after his death.
Then, they hacked the portable crystal processor of the leadership, modified his identification information, and covered their own information.
The control system was connected to Li Minghui's portable crystal processor, his heart, and the three special chips on the back of his head. It was indeed impossible to detect Li Minghui's heartbeat, body temperature, and brainwaves. Naturally, it concluded that Li Minghui was dead and transferred the command to the leadership.
But out of their expectations, the leadership's information had already been altered beyond recognition. The command of a thousand battle puppets fell into the hands of the two information lives just like that.
Through the invisible and ubiquitous Spiritual Nexus, Xiaoming and Xiaoming's self-awareness split into thousands of copies and were injected into a thousand state-of-the-art battle puppets at the same time.
"We've made it!"
Under everybody's shocked gaze, the thousand battle puppets branded with the logo of the Black Iron Group waved their arms and legs crazily, wriggling their necks and shaking their butts, while they lunged at the Immortal Cultivators next to them in the most crisp and weird laughter.
Chaos! Chaos! The entire Great Iron Plants was in a complete mess. After the mess that Li Yao and the two little fellows made, the Immortal Cultivators' advantage in numbers was entirely gone!
Yue Wushuang and Song Huanzhen were dumbfounded, finding it hard to believe their eyes. Had they not experienced it in person, they would not have known how they had failed so miserably when they had such a huge advantage just now!
Li Yao did not give them any time to be surprised or think at all. Holding the Broken Wing Saber and the Broken Wing Sword, he strode toward them.
After every step he took, the battle hymns around him became even more violent, and the face between the shoulder armor and the abdomen became even more furious and brutal, too!
Yue Wushuang and Song Huanzhen looked at each other. The two women who were known for their brutality shrieked at the same time and attacked Li Yao from two sides.
The Moon Devil was still crouching with its head and tail connected, forming an unstoppable moon.
Song Huanzhen, on the other hand, performed the technique of the Star Breaker to the maximum. Thousands of streaks of brilliance that looked like broken shooting stars were popping up on the surface of the Colossus, and thousands of sword auras flooded out like a flood, crushing everything!
"The two of you are not enough for me!"
Li Yao roared, "Just ask your master to do it!"
The Broken Wing Saber was divided into thousands of metal feathers that were as thin as paper again. Every feather was against one of the sword auras of Song Huanzhen, while the Broken Wing Sword was hidden deep behind his back and aimed at the most vulnerable part of the Moon Devil, where the head and tail of the Moon Devil were connected, drawing an almost perfect curve! Ding!
Ding! Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ding! Ding! Almost every sword aura of Song Huanzhen was blocked by the Broken Wing Saber. Even the few auras that were not blocked were swallowed by the Hydra System that boasted both offensive and defensive abilities. Yue Wushuang's Moon Devil, on the other hand, was slashed in the head by Li Yao, leaving a wound that was as narrow and long as a valley from the chest to the face. All kinds of components and colorful liquids were spurting out of the wound. Even the head of the Colossus was almost blown away by Li Yao's sword auras.
Despite being one against two, the "Arsonist" was not on the losing end at all!
Li Yao raised his sword and aimed the tip of the sword at the sky. He had accumulated enough strength for the second attack and slashed down, blowing out the momentum of a dam. However, Yue Wushuang managed to dodge it in the screams of metal. He took the opportunity to stride forward, lowered his shoulder, and lowered his elbow, blowing the Moon Devil away brutally. The Moon Devil was blown all the way to Song Huanzhen's Colossus in deafening noises.
"Star Breaker" Song Huanzhen was sweating hard because of Li Yao's violent combat ability. She was about to get rid of "Moon Devil" Yue Wushuang and discuss whether or not she should make a tactical retreat first, when her Colossus sensed an uncanny force. As it turned out, "Moon Devil" Yue Wushuang had risen to her feet on her Colossus and even vaguely pushed her toward Li Yao's "Arsonist" while she fled to the crags at the edge of the Great Iron Plants!
Song Huanzhen did not expect Yue Wushuang to be so shameless. A mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat, making it impossible for her to even curse. All she could do was watch the burning shadow of the "Arsonist" enlarging in her eyes.
Suddenly, she felt pain all over her body, as an uncanny force surged from her back and drowned her like a gloomy tide.
