Red Devil received no combat information about the opponent's skills, so it could only go all out.
The mechanical arms slowly reassembled, with the left arm instantly transforming into a mechanical long sword and the right arm becoming a cannon barrel. The right arm then slowly lifted, and countless missiles shot out from the barrel towards Xie Qing.
Seeing this, Xie Qing manifested the evil energy behind him into a large net, directly rushing towards the missiles. It was like a gaping abyss swallowing all the missiles, followed by a huge explosion. Black evil energy thorns shot towards Red Devil. Red Devil's right arm slowly fired, and a light shield appeared at the front of the cannon barrel. The circular light shield directly protected its body.
However, as the black evil energy thorns struck it, the light shield developed tiny cracks. Seeing this, Red Devil's left mechanical arm sword slowly split in half, revealing a small cannon barrel in the center of the sword. The cannon barrel then slowly fired a blue beam that directly scattered the evil energy thorns. The beam then shot towards Xie Qing. Seeing this, Xie Qing's hands emitted black flames that gathered on his claws. He then pushed his claws forward, and the black flames formed a wave of flames that shot out to confront the beam.
Both sides retreated simultaneously. Red Devil's mechanical eyes pulsed with numbers, analyzing the situation. However, analysis required time, and Xie Qing would not give Red Devil any opportunity, having been tricked once before. He would not make the same mistake again.
He decisively chose to attack. His claws crossed, then he pulled his arms back, forming an "L" shape behind him. Evil energy wings slowly appeared behind him, and his claws were entwined with black evil energy. His claws crossed, and a black evil energy wave shot out towards Red Devil.
Seeing this, Red Devil raised its right arm, and the cannon barrel extended, firing a multicolored beam that, like a rainbow in the sky, directly confronted the black evil energy wave.
But this time, Red Devil's beam was gradually suppressed. Seeing this, Red Devil's right arm transformed, and the cannon turret instantly became a mechanical shield, which Red Devil placed directly in front of itself.
With a whoosh, the black evil energy cut through the void, striking Red Devil's shield. Red Devil's body was forced to retreat.
At the same time, sparks flew from the mechanical shield on its right arm, indicating severe damage to the mechanical parts. Fortunately, its body had a self-repair function, and soon the mechanical shield was intact again.
Red Devil looked at Xie Qing. Its left mechanical long sword then aggregated. The mechanical parts on its chest opened like a blooming lotus, and vortices rotated within its chest, channeling energy. The mechanical arm of its left hand detached from its arm, and the hilt was inserted into its chest. The long sword then spread out towards the mechanical lotus petals on its chest.
The entire long sword was disassembled into a sword-lotus shape and embedded in its chest. Then, with a tremor, a massive silver beam shot out and continuously struck Xie Qing.
Simultaneously, silver light flowed from Red Devil's body into the void. This was Red Devil's final move. If it couldn't defeat the opponent, it would have to let someone else intervene.
Chen Tian, watching from outside, became anxious. Seeing the helplessness of Pigeon, Number, and the others, he desperately wanted to help, but a man standing in front of him blocked his way. He couldn't get through.
The gourd-carrying man then spoke, "You can go in now. They have completed the first step and no longer need to hold on."
He then clasped his hands, and instantly, a tunnel appeared in the surrounding space. Chen Tian was stunned, then opened the spatial tunnel. Who was this person?
But Chen Tian didn't overthink it and stepped into the tunnel. The space then closed behind him.
The mysterious man also disappeared. In the void, as Red Devil's beam shot towards Xie Qing, Xie Qing simply extended his arm. A black protective film appeared in front of him, and Red Devil's silver beam struck it without any effect.
Red Devil was stunned. What was this protective film that it couldn't analyze? However, its output had reached its limit.
Then, the silver beam weakened and shrank, and Red Devil's energy was depleted.
Xie Qing looked at Red Devil and said, "Out of energy, aren't you? Then die!"
He extended his claw, and instantly a black sphere of light shot towards Red Devil. But Red Devil showed no panic. A figure suddenly appeared in front of Red Devil. A fireball of icy blue flames collided with the black flame fireball.
An explosion erupted, and at the same time, Number and Qing Ling moved towards Red Devil's location. As the explosion subsided, Chen Tian slowly stood in front of Red Devil, looking at Xie Qing and saying coldly, "What do you think you're doing to my friend?"
"Oh? Another ant? How pathetic. Do you think you can stop me?"
Xie Qing was even more disdainful. An ant at the first tier was nothing to him.
Number and Red Devil spoke in unison, "Chen Tian, use your fusion ability to merge us into your body. That way, you can contend with him."
"???"
Faced with Pigeon and Number's words, Chen Tian felt completely confused. The fusion system couldn't merge players, could it?
As if sensing Chen Tian's confusion, Qing Ling spoke, "Brother, in our current state, we are not considered players but awakened. It's like what people in your world call past lives. We are limited in our strength due to certain reasons. To defeat this Xie Qing, we can only fuse the three of us."
"And the three of us have awakened, even if it's only half our strength. Combined with your strength, it will be enough."
Chen Tian was completely bewildered and didn't understand what they were saying. However, Chen Tian knew that the priority was to deal with this evil spirit first.
Without hesitation, a phantom of a giant furnace instantly appeared in the void, enveloping the four of them.
Xie Qing watched the scene with a leisurely expression. He wanted to see what other tricks they had up their sleeves. He wanted to play a little longer.
Soon, the furnace exploded, and a figure calmly appeared before Xie Qing. Xie Qing's expression instantly turned solemn, as the aura of the figure before him was not weaker than his, and perhaps even stronger.
At the same time, Xie Qing became interested. And Chen Tian, opposite Xie Qing, felt his immense power and was shocked. What a formidable power! What level was this?
At this moment, Chen Tian's appearance had not changed, but his body was more resilient, resembling a growing youth, almost reaching the physique of a young man.
