512: On the verge of breaking out

Tang Ku stretched his limbs slightly, his eyes narrowing; he knew that today's situation could not be settled amicably.

Given Tesla's devious nature, he wouldn't let any of Tang Ku's plans succeed, even if this guy had helped him once before.

Among the two people proficient in Law, Tesla seemed to be the soft target, so Tang Ku's first target was him!

His speed was astonishing; in the blink of an eye, Tang Ku reached Tesla and reached out to grab his collar. As long as he could subdue him as quickly as possible, he would be able to seize the initiative.

However, things would definitely not go as smoothly as he had anticipated. Although Tesla was a soft target, he was not a wooden one; he was a living human being, and humans have their own thoughts and can move!

"Clang!"

Tang Ku's five fingers went numb. An energy object resembling a shield suddenly appeared in front of Tesla, and then the guy leaped back, shouting in alarm: "Goodness gracious... I'm not good at fighting, you'd better go find Alfred!"

Withdrawing his hand, Tang Ku suddenly turned around and threw a punch, because he sensed that the robot with one severed arm had already appeared behind him. Its movement speed was extremely fast, basically just a fraction slower than Tang Ku's, but it was still easy enough to draw aggro for Tesla.

"Boom!"

The two fists collided again, but this time it was significantly different from the previous collision. The robot's right fist was shining with a red light, and the explosive power contained within this light actually neutralized Tang Ku's Buddha Power completely.

"Hmm? Is this Explosive Rule?"

Tang Ku exerted more force, blasting the robot away, and then swung his left fist outward, parrying the fist of Nobel who had leaped over. However, immediately after, a piece of Nobel's clothing brushed against Tang Ku's waist, and a violent explosion erupted in that split second, sending Tang Ku flying into the sky.

"Damn it... Can Explosive Rule make anything explode?"

Tang Ku flipped over, used "Moonwalk" in the air to change direction twice, and then landed, still blocking in front of Ksitigarbha and Sun Wukong.

"I thought this thing was made by Tesla!"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice.

Nobel, of course, knew what he was referring to and couldn't help but laugh: "This robot was created by combining the power of our two Laws... Hmm, according to your terms, this thing should be considered a kind of Puppet..."

Tang Ku glanced at Nobel. This guy's attire was completely different from other scientists he had seen; he wore a neat short outfit underneath, covered by a dashing trench coat, and even wore long boots instead of leather shoes.

It seemed he was dressed this way specifically for combat.

Turning his head to look at Tesla, Tang Ku frowned slightly: "The thing you used to block my attack just now, was that a biological force field?"

"Biological force field? Haha, a very fitting name..."

Tesla laughed, "I discovered some small animals on a planet in the Universe. These creatures can spontaneously form energy fields for defense. Although their attack power isn't very strong, their defensive effect is quite significant... Hmm, I made some minor modifications to that creature and keep it with me at all times, just in case!"

"We... there's really no need for things to get so hostile, right!"

Tang Ku narrowed his eyes slightly, "We won't be staying in Purgatory for long. Once we leave, this place will be your territory. If we keep fighting, we'll only end up both injured. What do you think?"

Tesla and Nobel exchanged a glance, and then Nobel laughed: "That should have been the case, but as our future formidable enemy, we cannot just let you leave so easily. In any case, the best strategy is to destroy whatever the enemy intends to do! So, you understand!"

"I don't understand a damn thing!"

Tang Ku pressed his palms together and gathered his Mental Energy. Suddenly, a huge figure appeared behind him—it was the Dharma image of Guangdu Xin Buddha—and he himself turned into a phantom, attacking Nobel.

Nobel did not expect Tang Ku to launch an active attack at such a time, and since he was not skilled in speed, he was at an Innate disadvantage. Tang Ku's punch was astonishingly fast and had already slammed into his stomach in the blink of an eye. However, Nobel was not worried at all. Although the massive impact caused severe internal injuries, he still triggered the power of the Explosive Rule. A cluster of airflow in his abdomen suddenly exploded, blasting Tang Ku away directly.

Amidst the swirling smoke, Nobel wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said indifferently: "Speed is not my forte, so your reaction was correct, but you do not understand my ability!"

Tang Ku looked at his slightly charred right hand and shook it slightly. The charred outer skin peeled off, revealing the undamaged skin underneath and newly grown fine hairs. He said: "Your Law is spread all over your body. Any object that has come into contact with your body, including the air, can explode. The so-called 'everything explodes' is the true nature of your power!"

"Oh... you actually know?"

Nobel was slightly taken aback, then laughed, "You are also a Genius, to have figured out my ability so quickly..."

"But I haven't thought of a way to crack it yet!"

Tang Ku said in a deep voice, "Come again. I won't let you disturb them..."

"Haha, good... come again, come again... Let's have a satisfying fight today; it's been a long time since I've had such a pure battle..."

Nobel seemed very happy. He cracked his knuckles, and then the two figures suddenly collided on the ground. Immediately, a series of explosions echoed in the air. Their figures constantly interacted and collided at different positions on the ground, and violent explosions were heard incessantly...

The robot saw that it couldn't intervene, so it turned and set its sights on Ksitigarbha. Then, with a push of its feet, it charged toward Ksitigarbha at supersonic speed.

However, halfway there, a huge fist slammed down from mid-air, hammering it flat onto the ground... or more accurately, it was hammered into the ground.

The robot was obviously a bit bewildered. It struggled to jump out from under the ground, and its mechanical eyes scanned for a long time, but it couldn't find where the attack came from.

In its processor, it only saw a huge energy entity floating overhead; it couldn't see any physical object at all.

Tesla, on the side, couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile: "The core processor of this thing still has major problems; it can't even detect a biological entity composed of pure energy... I'll have to upgrade it when we go back!"
