Chapter 64: Chapter 64: Puppet Cyborg? (First Update)
This Blood Demon Guardian was definitely the toughest opponent Xu Nian had ever faced. Clearly, he was at the First-Grade Martial Artist Realm, yet somehow, he had managed to block Xu Nian’s kick while he had the "Rest Gate" activated. Even a Grandmaster would probably have suffered heavy injuries from that kick. And yet, there was no reaction from him at all? How could that be? Xu Nian’s face grew solemn.
He had to bring the fight to a quick conclusion. Otherwise, once his Internal Energy was depleted, he would only be waiting for death. The Ultimate Technique, "Eight Gates Escape Armor," was too buggy. The side effects were also enormous, causing a weakness and pain that could turn a person into an invalid.
"So, that’s how it is? Then..." Xu Nian chuckled softly as the Internal Energy surrounding his body turned from transparent to a faint green, and his body began to flush and turn red.
Eight Gates Escape Armor—Life Gate! Open!
BOOM—
A terrifying fluctuation of Internal Energy burst from Xu Nian’s body, spreading out in all directions. Instantly, Xu Nian’s body emitted an indescribable sense of oppression.
Those Blood Demon Sect Followers who had backed away were forcefully knocked to the ground by this wave of Internal Energy.
Noticing this development, the Players were also stunned.
"Fuck, what’s happening? Is the Sect Leader really that amazing?"
"I get it now, that’s definitely ’Eight Gates Escape Armor.’ The Sect Leader has opened the Eight Gates Escape Armor, that’s so cool!"
"Can Junlin and his team open the ’Eight Gates Escape Armor’ now too?"
"I’m so jealous. We’ve all practiced Ultimate Techniques, so why does his look so cool?"
Opening the Life Gate, Xu Nian’s attacks and speed were boosted once again.
Even Blood Evil felt an unprecedented pressure. Is this the Bottom Card of the Profound Yellow Sect? The Internal Energy can actually linger around the body, and it turned green no less. It’s a force that could easily crush the Jianghu in Fengxiang Prefecture.
"Foshan Shadowless Kick!" Xu Nian’s speed reached its limit, and in an instant, he arrived in front of Blood Evil.
SNAP!
He kicked, and the sound of a sonic boom could be heard.
A trace of wariness appeared on Blood Evil’s calm face.
BAM! An incredibly fast kick landed on Blood Evil’s body, sending him flying like a cannonball.
BANG—
Blood Evil was kicked into the air. He flew from the Main Hall of the Front Courtyard, crashed through its walls, soared out of the Main Hall, and tumbled into the Pond in the Backyard.
Despite landing this kick, Xu Nian felt an unprecedented sting. Although it did not harm his meridians or bones, the pain from the side effects made him involuntarily let out a muffled grunt.
In the Pond, half of Blood Evil’s body was completely shattered by the kick. Relying only on his remaining left hand, he climbed out.
The terror of that kick was profoundly etched in his heart.
But when he crawled out, the Players who wanted to finish him off were also startled.
At that moment, Blood Evil, half his body shattered, showed no sign of blood. Instead, precision parts made of refined iron from his body dropped beside the Pond.
It was then the Players realized this Boss was actually a cyborg!
"Holy shit, I thought this was a Wuxia Game? Since when did it have cyborgs?"
"What’s the big deal? Haven’t there been existences like the Mohist School in history? They could modify the human body too."
"But isn’t this Boss a bit too scary? Ninety percent of his body is modified?"
"From what I can see over here, his heart is still beating, and it’s connected by a bunch of metal tubes."
Yes, Blood Evil was indeed a living puppet. He was a terrifying existence, his body ninety percent cold iron. Even such grievous injuries couldn’t kill him.
Blood Evil, having climbed out, slowly sat up. He surveyed the surrounding Profound Yellow Sect Disciples, then looked down at his own mangled body.
For the first time! This was the first time he had suffered such heavy injuries.
Even their Sect Leader couldn’t inflict such damage on him.
That kick had essentially crippled him.
Is this Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect really just a First-Grade Martial Artist?
As he was stunned, a figure surrounded by green Internal Energy appeared beside him.
Blood Evil looked up at Xu Nian, a flash of panic passing through his calm eyes.
Am I going to die? It seemed he knew what his end would be. He also realized he had been too arrogant just now. This was the consequence of his arrogance.
Xu Nian stared at Blood Evil, also somewhat surprised. He seemingly hadn’t expected Blood Evil to be a puppet, nor that he had modified himself to this extent.
"Was this kick satisfactory?" Xu Nian murmured to himself.
"Heh..." Blood Evil spoke with a cold voice, "You indeed are not simple, but it’s too late. You shouldn’t have let White Hair leave Fengxiang Prefecture City."
Too late? No! For Xu Nian, it wasn’t too late.
Players could totally dismantle all the Blood Demon Sect Followers in Fengxiang Prefecture. In the face of Contribution Points, the Players’ fighting spirit should not be underestimated.
Xu Nian muttered as he stared at the battered body, "You’re going to die, aren’t you?"
The people of the Blood Demon Sect were too arrogant. The Black-robed Guardian was like that, Protector Sanhun was too, and now so was this Blood Demon Guardian. Their deaths were all due to arrogance.
Fengxiang Prefecture would be in chaos, but the Players would settle this disorder.
Blood Evil said nothing, just sitting quietly on the spot, watching the young Sect Leader of the Profound Yellow Sect in front of him.
If I hadn’t modified my body, perhaps I would be this young too.
"Who exactly is behind the Blood Demon Sect?" Xu Nian asked with a slightly cold tone.
Blood Evil sneered.
"You will never know."
Blood Evil softly said, "You will never know in this lifetime."
With that, a HISS came from his body, and crimson blood flowed down along the iron parts.
He was dead. The modified Blood Evil was now dead.
In less than a day, two Protectors of the Blood Demon Sect had died by Xu Nian’s hand. If this news spread, it would likely cause quite a stir in the Jianghu.
But Xu Nian had no reaction, just quietly watching this scene, his whole heart sinking.
Not saying anything even in death? It seems the person behind them is very important to the Blood Demon Sect. Will the Blood Demoness talk?
Xu Nian suppressed this thought, planning to deal with the Blood Demon Sect Followers in Fengxiang Prefecture first, and then find the Blood Demoness to ask clearly.
Which prince is it, the one standing behind the Blood Demon Sect!
The Players watching such a Boss die at the hands of the Sect Leader were beating their chests and stomping their feet in regret.
If they had killed him, he surely would have dropped a lot of good loot. Such a pity, such a pity.
"The Front Courtyard has been breached, brothers, charge!"
"For Contribution Points, to become Number One in the World!"
"All the Sword Team, follow me out and kill, don’t let the Construction Team steal our kills!"
"Daytime Alms, you son of a thief, stealing my kill again?"
