Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
In a series of explosions, Qi Yuan poured all his energy balls onto the Slayer's body.
The violent explosions connected together, and the violent energy formed a giant mushroom cloud that almost covered the entire frontline base.
Did he block it?
Everyone looked at the rising mushroom cloud nervously. Although the Slayer was a rank 7 mechanical apostle, Qi Yuan's attack had clearly exceeded the limit of rank 6. Perhaps he really could block the Slayer's charge.
Just as everyone held their breaths, a giant figure covered in electricity charged out of the mushroom cloud and headed straight for Qi Yuan.
It's over!
Qi Yuan's strongest attack did not even stop the Slayer's footsteps. It did not even slow him down.
Although Battle Fort No. 9 had been defeated, as a rank 7 mechanical apostle, the Slayer's power was still terrifying!
This was what a high-ranking powerhouse was like!
Qi Yuan stood where he was and looked calmly at the approaching Slayer. He sighed in his heart.
He did not expect that his full-force attack, which had consumed tens of tons of Asterite, could not even stop the Slayer's footsteps.
The gap between high-ranking and mid-ranking was indeed huge. Even with the blessing of the super life form talent tree, he could not cross it.
Just as Qi Yuan was shocked by the Slayer's power, an invisible force field suddenly appeared and enveloped the Slayer.
This force field was the one that had helped him kill the Furnace of Death in the beginning!
A series of teeth-numbing screeching sounds suddenly rang out. The Slayer's armor suddenly shattered, and countless twisted parts instantly shattered.
It was as if an invisible giant hand was violently dismantling the Slayer's mechanical body.
The Slayer had just taken the full force attack from Qi Yuan, which had consumed tens of tons of Asterite. It did not seem to be able to stop him, but in reality, the Slayer's mechanical armor was already affected. Now, facing Xu Shiyi's force field, the damaged parts could no longer resist and were constantly being dismantled and twisted by the force field.
Slayer let out an angry roar, and a ring of violent energy wrapped around the countless parts that had fallen off. It suddenly spread out like a heavy artillery shell, sweeping in all directions.
The twisted parts let out a sharp sound of breaking through the air, making the surviving ability users' expressions change.
A few lucky survivors couldn't dodge in time and were unfortunately struck by the parts that fell off. Their bodies were instantly pierced with several bloody holes, and it looked like they wouldn't be able to survive.
Although Slayer's sudden outburst had consumed a lot of mechanical parts and caused his body to shrink, he had also used the outburst of these parts to tear apart Xu Shiyi's force field.
Slayer stared coldly at Qi Yuan, who was just inches away from him. He reached out a gigantic hand and grabbed at Qi Yuan.
Under the cover of the shadow, Qi Yuan only felt the sky turn dark, as if he had lost control of his body.
That was an absolute suppression that came from the difference in strength!
Was this the power of a high-level expert?
Qi Yuan was shocked.
Not to mention that he was only Level Five now, even if he had stepped into Level Six, he still wouldn't be able to face such a powerful Slayer head-on.
Seeing Slayer's hand coming closer and closer, Qi Yuan let out a low roar and struggled to break free from Slayer's power suppression. The remaining Asterite energy in his heart roared at the same time.
No matter how powerful Slayer was, it was impossible for him to surrender without putting up a fight!
At this final juncture, Qi Yuan had already prepared for the worst. Compared to falling into Slayer's hands, Qi Yuan would rather detonate the energy furnace in his heart himself.
Although detonating the energy furnace in his heart could very well cause him to die suddenly, Qi Yuan still decided to take a gamble.
As his strength increased, more and more talents lit up. Although he still maintained the appearance of a human, the nature of his body had long been poles apart from that of a human.
If other people's hearts were detonated, they would naturally die without a doubt, but he might not necessarily die. His Steel Body had powerful self-healing abilities, and there was still a glimmer of hope that he could preserve his life.
This was the only way to survive!
If he fell into Slayer's hands, then he would truly die without a doubt.
As Slayer's gigantic palm fell, Qi Yuan closed his eyes and steeled his heart. He was about to detonate the energy heart in his body, gambling on that last chance of survival in the midst of the crisis of death.
"Don't touch my meal ticket!" Blazing Angel's angry roar suddenly reached his ears.
Qi Yuan instinctively stopped his self-detonation.
Blazing Angel's body suddenly swelled to a height of three meters, and a pair of golden energy wings drooped down, wrapping around Qi Yuan in layers in an attempt to block Slayer's attack.
Unfortunately, Blazing Angel was only Level Six!
Qi Yuan sighed.
If Blazing Angel had Level Seven strength, she would definitely be able to block Slayer.
However, she had only just advanced to Level Six. Even if she was an energy life form and had stronger combat strength than an ordinary Level Six, she could not cross the huge gap between Middle and High Levels.
Slayer's palm touched Blazing Angel's wings, and as expected, those golden energy wings were unable to block Slayer's outstretched palm.
Just as Qi Yuan was about to detonate his energy heart, Slayer's palm, which had passed through Blazing Angel's body, suddenly clenched just as it was about to capture and kill Qi Yuan.
At the same time, Slayer released a mysterious force field, directly trapping Blazing Angel.
In the end, Slayer took Duanmu Longxiang's full force attack head-on, and left with Blazing Angel without hesitation.
Blazing Angel:???
The controlled Blazing Angel stared blankly as she got further and further away from Qi Yuan. For a moment, she was unable to react to what had happened.
Qi Yuan felt the pressure around him lighten, and stared dumbfounded as Slayer's figure disappeared into the wilderness.
Slayer's target was not him?
His target was Blazing Angel?
Duanmu Longxiang stood in front of Qi Yuan, and after confirming that Qi Yuan was not injured, he let out a long sigh of relief.
Duanmu Longxiang's full force attack just now had left a huge wound on Slayer's body, but it had only seriously injured him, and had not killed him.
Seeing Slayer escape, although Duanmu Longxiang still had energy left, he did not choose to continue chasing after him. Instead, he chose to watch Slayer escape.
If he had chosen to continue chasing, he might have been able to kill Slayer, but Slayer's actions just now had already proved that if he went all out, he had the strength to drag Qi Yuan down to hell with him.
This was the deterrent power of a high level powerhouse!
When Slayer wanted to kill a mid-level ability user, as long as he was willing to pay a little price, even if the target was protected by Duanmu Longxiang, he still had the strength to complete the kill.
Killing a person was far easier than protecting a person!
Duanmu Longxiang also understood this principle, so between killing Slayer and protecting Qi Yuan, in the end, he still chose to protect Qi Yuan.
