Number One took the lead, while Number Six and Number Eight also condensed a spear and a longsword respectively, each taking on an opponent.
Violent battle fluctuations erupted in an instant.
Slayer's doppelgangers were stronger than the mechanical guards, but they were not at a level where they could crush them. It would take some effort to take them down.
This should have been an intense battle, but after it erupted, it was not as intense as expected.
Apart from Number One, the other mechanical doppelgangers were clearly not going all out.
Their goal in not finishing off their opponents quickly was very simple, and that was to use this opportunity to observe Number One's combat strength. In the battle where the two sides had met, although Number One had displayed the effect of the AT force field, weakening many of the patrolling sentries in one fell swoop, he himself had not made a move.
If Number One's frontal combat strength was not very strong, then the others might have a chance to turn the tables.
Qi Yuan controlled the two mechanical puppets, similarly only delaying the opponent and not going all out. He also wanted to know how strong Number One really was. At the same time, he also had Nine lead the patrolling sentries in position, ready to attack at any time.
Facing the two mechanical sentries working together, Number One clearly had no intention of holding back. He directly opened the AT force field to suppress the enemy, clearly wanting to end the battle quickly.
The two mechanical sentries rushed to Number One's side, their speed visibly slowing down. Not only did their movement speed slow down, even the speed of their energy attacks was affected by the AT force field, becoming sluggish.
In a battle of this level, the difference in speed was enough to determine the outcome of the battle.
Number One was bare-handed and did not condense any energy weapons, but by relying on his advantage in speed, he was still able to face the attacks of the two mechanical sentries with ease.
A mechanical Sentinel abruptly swept out with its sword, the blazing white energy sword drawing an arc of death as it slashed towards No.1's waist. The blazing white energy emitted a terrifying energy fluctuation, and even No.1 didn't dare to directly take the all-out attack of the mechanical Sentinel.
Number One's body turned, avoiding the slash at the waist, and suddenly closed in. At the same time, the five fingers of his right hand suddenly burst out with blue electric snakes, abruptly grabbing at the mechanical sentries' abdomen.
Zap!
The rampaging electric arc instantly struck the mechanical sentries' abdomen armor, and then it instantly collapsed. With the abdomen as the center, it spread out around the mechanical sentries' body.
Qi Yuan's eyes flashed. Slayer's attack was not to destroy the target but to analyze the internal structure of the Mechanical Sentinel.
This was a common method used by Mechanics in internal battles. Although Mechanics did not have the traditional vital points of a human body, if one could accurately find their energy core, the battle would be half won.
It was the same when dealing with these mechanical Sentinels. Different models of mechanical Sentinels usually had different internal structures, but the internal structures of mechanical Sentinels of the same model would not be too different.
The eight Sentinels here were all of the same model. As long as he could find the energy core of one Sentinel, he would be able to find the weak points of all the other Sentinels.
The spreading electric snakes slowly disappeared. Using his speed advantage, No. 1 only dodged and did not attack. After dodging several consecutive attacks, he found another opportunity and circled to the back of the mechanical sentinel. The same attack landed on the mechanical sentinel's chest.
The blue electric snakes spread out again, searching for the energy center hidden inside.
Although in theory, these mechanical Sentinels could be designed to hide their energy centers in the four limbs, considering the resistance in battle and the defensive strength of the four limbs, very few mechanical Sentinels would use such a design. Generally speaking, the energy centers of humanoid mechanical Sentinels would be hidden in the body or the head, which had the strongest defense.
Although Number One did not find the location of the energy core after two consecutive probing attempts, he eliminated the torso and locked onto the head of the mechanical sentinel as his final target.
Since the energy center was not hidden in the body, it must be hidden in the head.
The head!
No. 1's gaze locked onto the head of the mechanical sentinel. Compared to the body, the head was obviously more difficult to attack.
However, to No. 1 who had the advantage of speed, this was only slightly troublesome.
As long as he locked onto the energy center of the mechanical Sentinel, the following battle would be much easier.
Blue electric light surged out from No. 1's fingertips, condensing into a sizzling blue electric ball in his palm, emitting a terrifying energy wave.
Qi Yuan's eyelids twitched.
With this kind of attack power, if it hit the energy center, it would probably only take one hit to break the outer armor of the mechanical Sentinel, and the second hit would be enough to detonate the energy center.
This was also because the outer armor of the mechanical Sentinel was sturdy enough. Otherwise, No. 1 would only need one hit to destroy it.
He could not wait any longer. If he waited until No. 1 killed these two mechanical Sentinels, he would not have the chance to fish in troubled waters.
No. 1 seized the opportunity and suddenly attacked, smashing the blue electric ball in his hand into the head of one of the mechanical Sentinels.
Boom!
A ball of blue electric plasma instantly spread out, and the mechanical Sentinel that was hit tilted its head back, taking a few steps back. Only then did it dissipate the impact of the electric ball's explosion. However, this attack still heavily damaged its mechanical head.
Under the impact of the blue electric plasma, nearly a third of the originally silvery-white mechanical head had melted, and the remaining area was scorched black. Even one of the mechanical eyes had been extinguished, leaving only a single eye that was still flickering.
Qi Yuan's heart trembled. The power of No. 1's attack was even more terrifying than he had imagined. This was an attack that was enough to instantly kill a patrolling Sentinel. If it had landed on his body, his head would have exploded.
The other doppelgangers were also shocked by No. 1's attack. They also could not withstand the full power of No. 1's attack.
With such a powerful attack, coupled with the cooperation of the AT force field, even if the main body did not have a backup plan, No. 1 still had a tyrannical strength that was above the other doppelgangers.
This discovery made the other doppelgangers nervous. For them, this was definitely not good news.
The stronger No. 1 was, the less likely it was for them to turn the tables.
Just as the doppelgangers were having different thoughts, Qi Yuan was surprised to find that the mechanical Sentinel that had half its head melted by No. 1's full power attack had unexpectedly not fallen. Instead, it waved its energy sword and once again charged at No. 1.
A third of its head had been melted, yet it could still fight. Could it be that the energy center of these mechanical Sentinels was not in the head?
No. 1 was also clearly stunned. There was no energy center in the torso, nor in the head. Could it be that the energy center of these humanoid mechanical Sentinels was hidden in their limbs?
What kind of inhumane design was this?!
No. 1 had just recovered from his shock when he saw five patrolling Sentinels suddenly appear and charge directly at him.
Hadn't the surrounding patrolling Sentinels already been cleared?
The battle here had just begun. How could five patrolling Sentinels suddenly appear? Could it be that they had been lying in ambush nearby?
The sudden change ignited No. 1's anger. He subconsciously thought that No. 4 and the others had deliberately set him up.
He could use the AT force field to suppress two mechanical Sentinels, but there was no way he could deal with seven of them!
Under the combined forces of seven mechanical Sentinels, he would definitely be destroyed!
No. 1 was completely enraged. He had originally thought that even if No. 4 and the others wanted to turn on him, they would have to wait until they entered the energy warehouse. He had never imagined that No. 4 would use such a stupid method to deal with him.
