73: Chapter 73 Counterattack

Mo Yufei moved to the side behind a thick, ancient pine tree, using his Soul Talent to completely conceal his aura.

Xiao Hei lay at his feet, its black nose twitching constantly, firmly capturing every subtle fluctuation of airflow and energy disturbance in the forest.

It instantly caught a cold, violent energy fluctuation approaching at high speed. The fluctuation was erratic, carrying a faint sensation of spatial distortion—it was an Ability User from the Blood Killing Hall capable of teleportation.

The next second, this precise sensory information flowed into Mo Yufei's consciousness without delay via the Beast Taming Contract.

Mo Yufei's fingertips twitched, and he immediately transmitted the warning signal via the neural link to the two Commander Robots hidden on either side.

The two Commander Robots had long been lurking behind large rocks in the jungle. Their bodies were covered in biomimetic jungle camouflage, blending in with the surrounding trees and rocks. Their optical detectors were fully activated, scanning for spatial energy and biological signs simultaneously.

The moment they received the sensory signal from Xiao Hei, the core processors of the two robots completed the data comparison and locked onto the target's location in the same millisecond.

That cold energy fluctuation was fifty meters ahead in the jungle. It was initiating a short-range teleportation, causing faint ripples in space; the next second, it would appear within the ambush zone.

Without the slightest hesitation, the two Commander Robots simultaneously initiated their combat programs. Energy guns quickly popped out from the sides of their bodies, unfolding into strangely shaped energy rifles.

Pale cyan energy rounds rapidly condensed at the muzzles, their aim locked tightly onto the spot where the teleportation fluctuation was about to land.

Their coordination was seamless. Without needing extra instructions, they achieved perfect tacit understanding in concentrated fire based on the combat system's extreme synergy, waiting only for the moment the target appeared to launch a fatal strike.

The next second, the air suddenly twisted, and a figure wearing a dark black tight-fitting combat suit abruptly stepped out from the spatial ripples—it was the teleporting assassin from the Blood Killing Hall.

With a sinister face and ruthless eyes, he held an energy dagger in his hand. As soon as he appeared, he instinctively scanned his surroundings, intending to use his teleportation ability to quickly search for the target.

He had absolutely no idea that an ambush was hidden in this seemingly peaceful jungle.

He didn't even have time to let out a cry of alarm before the energy rifles of the two Commander Robots fired simultaneously!

Two solid beams of pale cyan energy, like two bolts of lightning, instantly pierced through the layers of branches and leaves, shooting accurately and unerringly toward his chest.

The teleporting assassin's pupils constricted, his face full of disbelief. He reacted extremely quickly, instinctively wanting to teleport again to evade, but the speed of the energy beams far exceeded the speed of his ability.

"Puchi," with two muffled sounds, the energy beams pierced through his chest without hindrance, bringing out a spray of scarlet blood.

Intense pain swept through his entire body. The assassin looked down at the bloody hole through his chest, the burning sensation of residual energy spreading at the wound.

He opened his mouth, wanting to send a signal for help, but could only cough up a mouthful of blood. His body fell heavily backward, crashing onto the thick decaying leaves, and his energy fluctuation was completely extinguished.

The moment the teleporting Ability User's aura was extinguished, Xiao Hei immediately sensed a larger, colder aura rapidly approaching from this direction.

That was the main pursuit force of the Blood Killing Hall, each one surrounded by a violent, dark aura, moving swiftly through the jungle.

A middle-aged man with a sinister expression in the middle of the team was the leader of this operation, possessing the strongest power among all the pursuers.

He frowned slightly and raised his hand to signal the team to stop. His gaze scanned the dense jungle around him like a hawk, and he sniffed, trying to capture that sense of crisis lingering in his heart.

Just now, A-Yong, that subordinate who could teleport, suddenly lost contact. The signal was completely cut off, which made him feel uneasy. This jungle was too quiet, so quiet that only the rustling of wind blowing through leaves remained, which instead revealed an eerie murderous intent.

He narrowed his eyes and probed his spiritual energy around, searching the surrounding dense forest, but failed to find any trace of an ambush, nor could he even perceive a single extra trace of biological aura.

"He's just a native who came out of a secret realm. Even if he has a few tamed beasts and bought a few dancing robots, what kind of waves can he make in this jungle?"

The captain mocked inwardly, assuming he was just overthinking, and signaled the team to continue moving forward, aiming directly at the direction where Mo Yufei was hidden.

The pursuit team moved quickly through the forest, their footsteps making faint sounds on the decaying leaves as they gradually approached the core area of the ambush, until the last Ability User also stepped into the attack range.

When the entire team was fully exposed within the firing vision of the two quadrupedal wheeled attack robots, Xiao Hei also accurately transmitted the enemies' positions into Mo Yufei's consciousness via the Beast Taming Contract.

Mo Yufei did not hesitate at all, his fingertips quickly touching the neural linker on his wrist, transmitting the attack order to the two Commander Robots without any delay.

Almost in the same millisecond the order was issued, the two quadrupedal wheeled attack robots lurking behind the large rocks erupted instantly!

The mechanical legs that had been firmly locked into the soil slightly adjusted their angles, and the twin laser cannons on their backs suddenly pierced through the gloom of the forest, lighting up with a blinding pale blue glow.

Two blue laser beams, half a meter thick, were like thunder from the heavens, instantly piercing through the layers of branches and leaves with a world-destroying momentum, shooting straight at the two Ability Users at the very front of the Blood Killing Hall pursuit team!

The laser beams cut through the mist in the forest, leaving a blinding trail of light. The speed was extreme; the Ability Users of the Blood Killing Hall didn't even react to what had happened before they were hit head-on by the lasers.

The two leading fire-type and earth-type Ability Users had just wanted to activate their spiritual power defenses when the pale blue lasers had already pierced through their chests, and their outer armor melted instantly.

Their ability shields shattered like paper, and they couldn't even let out a scream before falling straight onto the decaying leaves, their lives completely extinguished.

Before the rest of the pursuers could panic, the attack robots' laser cannons quickly switched to rapid-fire mode, and pale blue energy beams shot out continuously, precisely strafing the chaotic team.

Wherever the lasers passed, vegetation instantly carbonized, and the spiritual shields of the Blood Killing Hall Ability Users were torn apart by the high-energy lasers before they could even be fully erected.

Screams, explosions of spiritual power, and the sounds of limbs hitting the ground rose and fell in the forest, and the originally orderly team instantly fell into chaos.

Some people dodged desperately, some tried to activate their abilities to counterattack, but under the dense laser firepower, all resistance seemed pale and weak, not to mention that they couldn't lock onto the attack robots hidden deep in the dense forest at all.

That captain's reaction was far superior to his ordinary subordinates. The moment the lasers erupted, he fiercely activated all his power, erecting a thick shield in front of him, narrowly dodging the first laser strafe.

His gaze followed the direction from which the lasers came, and he finally discovered the hidden attack robots.

His eyes were split with rage, and he let out an angry roar. He drew the long sword wrapped in dark red energy from his waist, his feet burst with power, and he was about to charge toward the position of the attack robots, intending to rely on his own profound cultivation to forcibly destroy these machines.

But Mo Yufei had long since taken in his every move, and Xiao Hei also sensed his capabilities; his explosive power was very strong, belonging to close-quarters combat, a typical warrior, but he was weak at long range.

Therefore, Mo Yufei would not give him a chance to get close. The Commander Robots also simultaneously adjusted their attack angles, and two beams of even stronger energy, condensed by the heavy artillery robots, shot simultaneously toward the assassin captain's vital points.
