Chapter 741 - 734: Arm in the Blood Mist

Chapter 741: Chapter 734: Arm in the Blood Mist

Mechanical Creatures generally share a few characteristics. They possess extremely high defense or offense, excel at large-scale, high-power attacks, and have vast Energy reserves. However, they most likely lack precision and adaptability in their techniques. After all, despite being in a state of resonance, a machine’s ability to adapt on the fly, its Perception Power, and so on are inferior to a true physical body.

Therefore, the techniques of Mechanical Creatures are often wide and sweeping, seeking to overwhelm opponents with large-area attacks and immense power.

Of course, this advantage isn’t without its limits. Simply possessing the right mechanical limbs doesn’t automatically increase one’s strength.

To reach a state of resonance and free control, one’s modifications must be able to keep up. Otherwise, the violent energy contained within the mechanical limbs will backfire, striking and destroying the host.

The moment he saw his opponent, a stream of information about Mechanical Creatures flashed through Zhou Yuanjue’s mind, allowing him to predict the Third Leader’s likely abilities.

At that exact moment, Hans’s gaze locked onto Zhou Yuanjue. The dark metal limbs on his back suddenly whirred to life, revealing two rows of twelve vents. They violently ejected beams of energy, instantly accelerating his body to a terrifying speed.

In an instant, his heavy body landed at the bottom of the mine, and even the Solid ground shook violently from the impact.

Hans’s pale green Laser Eyes swept over the four members of the Duomoge Organization defeated by Zhou Yuanjue, before finally settling slowly back on Zhou Yuanjue.

HUMMM!!

Strange, shimmering layers of light coursed over his body. Energy patterns resembling a network of veins appeared on the black metal surface, and his pale green Laser Eyes slowly turned crimson.

"It’s Hans. Though he’s only the Third Leader and his Transformation Level is still under ninety, the Mechanical Creature path itself requires far more resources than other paths. With an abundance of resources piled up, they end up stronger than your average candidate."

"That guy has been in the Duomoge Organization for over ten years. He’s exchanged all the resources he’s accumulated through the True Talisman’s exchange system for corresponding resources and Materials, honing his mechanical body to a terrifying degree. In terms of individual combat strength, he’s probably comparable to the Second Leader."

"We should get to see his true power this time."

Lan Yanmeng and the others, hiding in the shadows, spoke with a hint of excitement.

In a place like the Ziying Safety Zone, on the fringes of the Chaotic Paradise, it wasn’t easy to witness a battle of this caliber.

"Did you do this?"

Hans asked Zhou Yuanjue, his voice a cold mix of human and electronic tones.

"I did."

Zhou Yuanjue replied with a nod.

"Then, you can die."

Hans said flatly.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!!

The next moment, his mechanical chest suddenly opened, revealing a pale purple Energy Core.

Then, the Energy Core pulsed with light. Countless twisting tendrils of purple energy erupted from it, instantly covering a radius of nearly a thousand meters.

They looked like countless fine threads swaying in the air.

After spreading to their limit, these dense threads suddenly contracted.

SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!!

Countless threads instantly wrapped around Zhou Yuanjue’s body, binding him tightly.

Hunting Beam!!

BOOM!!

In the next moment, several Energy Pillars shot out from behind Hans, looking like a pair of unfurled wings.

His body streaked through the air, arriving in front of Zhou Yuanjue.

KRAK KRAK!!

During this process, his mechanical body changed again. Various joints on his body opened, revealing some kind of energy convergence Device.

HUMMM!!

At this moment, Hans activated the twelve Energy Cores installed in various parts of his body simultaneously, injecting a terrifying amount of compressed energy into the energy convergence Devices.

SHING SHING SHING!!

Beams of light, as sharp as swords, emerged from the joints all over his body.

Slash!!

His mechanical body allowed all his joints to exert force simultaneously in a way that defied common sense. Twelve Light Blades swung at once, forming a dense, impenetrable net that covered Zhou Yuanjue’s bound body.

Annihilation Blade Net!!

A cruel look appeared in his blood-red Laser Eyes. His powerful computational system continuously estimated the weak points on Zhou Yuanjue’s body, transmitting the data to the twelve Energy Cores distributed around him.

Under the terrifying attack of these twelve Light Blades, a living being’s body would be sliced into microscopic units, imperceptible to the naked eye, turning to dust as if instantly annihilated from existence.

And while entangled by the Hunting Beam, an opponent had virtually no chance to resist.

Although his Transformation Level hadn’t reached ninety percent, thanks to the massive accumulation of resources over the years, his instantaneous burst of true combat power was even greater than that of someone with a ninety percent Transformation Level.

This was the fundamental reason he was willing to stay in this remote corner.

"This is bad!"

Watching from a distance, Lan Yanmeng and the others’ expressions changed. They hadn’t expected Hans to use such a terrifying ability right from the start—so decisive, so ruthless, and so powerful.

Having stood in the Ziying Safety Zone for so many years, the Duomoge Organization’s roots ran deep; trying to topple them was no easy task.

And so, under everyone’s watchful eyes, Zhou Yuanjue’s body was annihilated inch by inch under the impenetrable net of blades, finally dissolving into a cloud of blood mist that enveloped the area.

Only a head remained, falling to the ground.

"It’s over. I told you, the Duomoge Organization isn’t that easy to deal with. A powerful being who could instantly kill four of their members... his Transformation Level must have been at least seventy percent, right? To think he was defeated just like that."

"So ruthless. He vaporized the guy’s body in an instant without even triggering the Life Protection Mechanism. He’s not planning to just kill his opponent. With an injury this horrific, he probably won’t be able to fully recover within the Life Protection Mechanism’s cycle."

"I’m afraid that as a price for this provocation, the Duomoge Organization will kill this person multiple times to make an example of him and warn anyone else in the Ziying Safety Zone with ulterior motives."

Seeing this, the many candidates watching the battle couldn’t help but gasp in shock.

"And here I thought you were someone special. Turns out you’re nothing much at all."

"If ’excessively humiliating a defiant opponent’ didn’t trigger a corresponding Law of the Life True Talisman, I would’ve loved to keep this head of yours. I’d hang it over the main gate of the Ziying Safety Zone to see if any more punks like you would dare to show up."

A cold sneer touched the corner of Hans’s mouth.

"Don’t think too highly of yourself. The only reason you hit me was because I wanted to test the limits of a new ability I just mastered."

"And it seems that someone of your level is indeed incapable of severing the ’connection’ I’ve established."

Zhou Yuanjue’s head lay alone on the ground, but his expression was perfectly calm.

"Still talking tough at a time like this?"

Hans’s face was cold. He brought his two iron hands together, and a Light Blade extended from between his palms.

Then, without any more nonsense, he raised his clasped hands and brought them down in a vicious chop toward Zhou Yuanjue’s head on the ground.

However, the moment he exerted his strength, he found the Light Blade was completely immobile.

He looked up slightly and saw a bizarre, severed arm reaching out from somewhere within the surrounding blood mist. Its pristine white hand had gripped his sharp Light Blade, which was now completely unable to even scratch it.
