Chapter 794

“Sir Tian...”

Even though it had been a long time, the prestige that Tian Lie had accumulated over the years remained deep within the hearts of every member of Thorned Flower Guild.

In fact... Tian Lie was an even more terrifying existence than their Guild Leader, Shen.

Although everyone understood that Shen’s strength was immeasurable, he would – most of the time – treat the other guild members in a cultured manner and with a genial smile on his face.

But Tian Lie was different. His formidable strength aside, the scariest part about him was his savage character.

It wasn’t just towards his enemy, but also towards his team members.

The Player wielding the great sword understood all too well that he had accepted the order to oppose Tian Lie. However, seeing Tian Lie charge towards him, the killing intent assailing him caused him to fall into a momentary state of shock.

Still, the shock only lasted for a moment and the great sword hacked down furiously towards Tian Lie.

“Little bunny be nice~”

Surprisingly, Tian Lie still had the time to hum a song.

He stretched his left hand forward and the giant sword hacked into his palm, all the way down to his elbow. His entire forearm had been cleaved in half.

“Open the door~”

Tian Lie’s face showed not a hint of pain. Instead, it was filled with excitement. The cleaved part of his left arm wriggled. It then enveloped the great sword and began melding with it.

The Player’s face sank. Only then did he remember Tian Lie’s terrifying physique.

But by then, it was already too late.

The great sword was violently tugged out from the Player’s hand and it was quickly absorbed into Tian Lie’s body, replenishing the metal cells that were damaged from the earlier attacks.

“Hurry up and open!”

The black sword in Tian Lie’s hand stabbed forward, striking the Player’s chest with a ringing sound. The Player’s high-grade protective suit had stopped the attack, but a sharp sensation of pain assailed the Player’s chest and he was thrown backwards.

The tens of halos that had been chasing Tian Lie finally arrived.

Boom!

The moment the halos made contact with Tian Lie, they abruptly exploded, creating a big crater behind him. However, Tian Lie had – at the very same instant – kicked the ground with both legs and used the impact of the explosion to launch himself towards Nicole.

“Master Tian Lie is coming!”

Suddenly, Tian Lie’s chin pulled down and his mouth seemingly opened up by a whole 180 degrees. Immediately, a great roar rang out from his mouth.

The soundwaves were practically visible to the naked eye and they flew straight forward to slam against a Player in metal armour. And while Nicole was less than three metres away, she was not affected in the slightest.

In the face of the soundwaves from Tian Lie’s roar, the Player’s metal armour was instantly shattered apart and his body hurtled backwards, blood spraying out from him.

Earlier, Nicole, who was besieged by several Players, had been having a very hard time warding them off. But with Tian Lie’s sudden interference, killing off two of the Players, the pressure on Nicole immediately lessened significantly. Her Ion Pulse Sword swung out to sever a Player’s arm, which was holding a war blade. The laser blaster in her left hand kept punching holes through the Player’s body.

...

“Lun Tai, what do you think?”

Qiao Qiao turned to look at Lun Tai, who was beside her.

On a hill far away, hidden by the forest’s shadows, the members of Meteor Rock Guild were observing the battle erupting in the camp.

Due to the distance, they were only able to gain a rough view of the two parties engaged in battle. They could not clearly see who were fighting.

What they could tell was, after Thorned Flower Guild managed to take control of the camp, two disruptors suddenly appeared.

Standing up again, Tian Lie’s body had grown whole once more. Rather, his body was several notches bigger than before.

The other Players from Thorned Flower Guild began running.

Originally, they had thought to themselves that even though Tian Lie was very strong, they had the numerical advantage. They would have to pay a high price, but at least they would be able to kill him.

At that very moment, however, Tian Lie, whom they had damaged to the point of nearly dying, was able to make a full recovery.

This fellow... was a true monster!

Fighting against a monster like this was the equivalent of asking for death.

The rout was contagious. The moment the first Player turned around to run, a chain reaction immediately begun.

However, one person remained standing there. It was Gaza, who was piloting his Magic Mech.

Looking at the members of Thorned Flower Guild who were running away, Tian Lie raised his head skywards and laughed wildly.

“Gaza! Look at those runts under your command! Look at how they are running!”

“They will be punished. Like I said, our Thorned Flower Guild has rules.” Gaza did not sound flustered at all.

“Stop bluffing! Come out from your Magic Mech and obediently hand over the meteorite. Then, kneel and lick my feet and I will consider letting you...”

Tian Lie had been striding forward, but after taking but a few steps, his body staggered and he fell to his knees.

“What is it? You can consider what?” There was a tone of delight in Gaza’s tone. “Consider letting me go?”

The Magic Mech stepped forward – its footsteps sounding heavy – to stand before Tian Lie.

“Let me go?!”

The mech’s foot stomped heavily down on Tian Lie’s body and twisted left and right. “Come on! Hurry up and absorb me! Only half of this Magic Mech is organic, the rest is metal! Aren’t you the best at absorbing metal to replenish your body? Why! Are! You! Not! Moving! Huh?!”

The Magic Mech weighed up to tens of tons. Most of that weight was currently pressing down on Tian Lie’s body. Every time it stomped down, it would shove Tian Lie down by several notches. Soon enough, half of Tian Lie’s body was already below the ground level.

“Tian Lie!”

After getting up, Nicole pulled out the spikes on her abdomen, brought out two Healing Beast Blood and shoved them into her mouth. Then, raising her uninjured hand, she aimed at the Magic Mech and fired out a beam of light.

Gaza, though, did not even avoid it. A shield stopped the beam of light before it could strike the mech.

“It’s just one Floater. How much energy reserve could it have? After the fierce battle earlier, do you think you can still break my defence? Your beams, how many more of those can you fire?” Gaza sneered.

Nicole stood up. Clenching her teeth, she stepped forward.

The Ion Pulse Sword on her right arm burst out again, but it flickered.

“Tian Lie! Get up! When did you become such a wastrel? Don’t you have an undying body?”

Nicole shouted at Tian Lie, who was under Gaza’s foot, as she moved forward.

“In this world, how could there be an undying body?” Gaza laughed wildly and once again launched a furious stomp on Tian Lie, pressing his whole body into the ground.

Beneath the Magic Mech’s foot, Tian Lie’s body kept twitching. It felt as though there were countless ants biting at every part of his body.

Amidst the paralysis, itchiness and pain, his body was unable to exert any strength.

Although he could no longer talk, Tian Lie’s mind was still clear.

That Thunderstorm Tank earlier, there was something wrong with it.

One by one, the members of Thorned Flower Guild who ran away earlier returned and they surrounded Tian Lie and Nicole again.

The last Thunderstorm Tank, however, drove farther away. Its turret muzzle, though, was firmly trained upon Nicole.
