42: Chapter 42: Lure Chen Bo out, or I'll kill you.
Teacher Su used to say his furnace quality was good; if it weren't for binding with a rookie War Princess like her, with his furnace quality, he would have soared to the skies long ago.
At the time, Yun Zhuo didn't feel much, but now, compared to these three idiots, he felt it immediately.
Thinking about how, with Earth Rank Middle Grade speed, he could still level up five times in five days, even Yun Zhuo was a little impressed by his own ruthlessness.
That said, Liao Hu and the others weren't acting arrogant anymore; they couldn't afford to be.
Without Spirit Energy, wanting to kill a whole group with one slash had become a thing of the past.
Now, they could take care of what was in front, but not what was behind.
The Mutated Beasts lunged and bit whenever they found an opening; although the damage each time wasn't high, there were just too many of them.
Liao Hu's heart went numb, he couldn't parry anymore, and the blade in his hand was becoming hard to hold.
He was heard shouting in the beast horde: "Go! Follow me and break out from this side!"
No one answered; A-Biao and Luo Zi had already been bitten to death by the dogs.
Turning back to look, he couldn't see Luo Zi or A-Biao, so he suppressed the despair in his eyes.
Using his accumulated Spirit Energy, he wiped out another group of Mutated Beasts and charged, only to be blocked again.
Unwilling to give up, he let out a hysterical roar at the beast horde in front of him, and finally, enduring the pain of the loss, he took out a big item and threw it at the beast horde ahead.
"What is that?" Yun Zhuo stared at the object Liao Hu had thrown, its trajectory carving a parabola in the air.
Teacher Su explained: "It looks like an Anti-Corrosion Energy bomb."
"An Anti-Corrosion Energy bomb!"
As Yun Zhuo was speaking, a spherical electric net suddenly burst out from the beast horde in front of Liao Hu, expanding with a whoosh to form an electric ball with a diameter of sixty or seventy meters.
Then, with another whoosh, it contracted, and the Mutated Beasts within that sixty-to-seventy-meter diameter area were instantly wiped out, as if they had never existed.
Yun Zhuo's eyes widened instantly, and after a few seconds, he asked: "Why is there no sound?"
Light travels faster than sound, so when thunder strikes, you see the lightning first and hear the thunder a few seconds later.
Logically speaking, an explosion of such a large scale should be deafening.
But Yun Zhuo waited for a few seconds, and apart from the roars of the Mutated Beasts, he heard nothing.
Teacher Su said: "Anti-Corrosion Energy bombs don't have a sound to begin with."
"Look, he's running! Do you think he has any more of that stuff on him?"
"That is military-exclusive; every single one has a serial number. The Federation controls it even more strictly than Martial Skills. It's already a miracle that he could get one; the chance of him having a second one is almost zero."
Seeing that Liao Hu had already run out of the Mutated Beast encirclement, Yun Zhuo had no time to hesitate and immediately gave chase.
As soon as he rushed out of the encirclement, he had his War Princess transform into a Mecha Wolf and rode it away.
Just as the principal had said before, there is no footwork in this world that can run faster than one's own War Princess's first form.
At this moment, Liao Hu didn't even know where in the Temple of Wealth he was; he just lay on his War Princess, desperately charging forward, convinced that as long as he didn't turn, he would definitely be able to get out.
The threat of death completely ignited the War Princess's potential, running several times fiercer than when she was chasing Yun Zhuo earlier.
Before long, the red wasteland appeared at the edge of their vision.
Now the War Princess ran even harder, and her speed actually increased by a few notches.
Closer, even closer; as long as they rushed out, they would be able to escape alive.
Finally, they were out. The Mutated Beasts chasing behind them all stopped at the edge of the ruins, as if an invisible wall was blocking them all inside.
Liao Hu rode on the Mecha Wolf, glanced back, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and laughed up at the sky, "My life is truly tenacious."
As for crippling Yun Zhuo and taking him to the Chen family to claim credit, that had long been thrown to the back of his mind.
In this world, what could be more exhilarating than being alive?
Suddenly, his body lurched forward violently, and then both he and the wolf tumbled to the ground.
That old fox Yun Zhuo, while he was laughing up at the sky, had poked his spear through the Mecha Wolf's rear end from behind.
The Mecha Wolf, feeling that pleasure, forgot everything and immediately rolled forward a long distance with Liao Hu.
This was something Yun Zhuo had been inspired by after seeing Liao Hu do it the first time he went to the wasteland town.
If you want to take down a Spirit War Master, take down their War Princess first.
Back then, Teacher Su was so scared by this that she couldn't sleep for several nights, pestering Yun Zhuo every day to tell her jokes.
He didn't expect to use it on the man himself today.
As for why he stabbed that place, whether he had some special fetish, that would be framing him.
This wasn't his first time facing a level thirty-something Mecha Wolf; he was afraid that one spear stab wouldn't kill her.
He had no choice but to target her weak point to maximize attack power.
While Scar Brother's War Princess was still rolling on the ground, she could no longer maintain her first form and reverted to human form.
When she stopped, she was already battered and bloody, and her tight black combat suit was torn to shreds.
This wasn't a soft grassland, but a wasteland full of sharp rocks and gravel; crashing at high speed could cost lives.
That Scar Brother's War Princess could still hang on to a breath of life was already a miracle.
Scar Brother, who had also been thrown into a daze, shook his head, which felt like it was filled with lead, and it took a long time for him to recover.
Lying on the ground, looking at his battered and bloody War Princess, he was stunned again.
What was going on? The old wolf stumbled?
He couldn't care about the pain in his body; he propped himself up and crawled over, wanting to see if his War Princess could still be saved.
A white, pointed, thin high heel clicked down, crushing his War Princess's head.
Liao Hu's body stiffened in fear. Subconsciously, he followed that shiny, long leg all the way up, and a female mecha with cold, sharp lines and magnificent curves stood before his eyes.
The red and white mecha looked like it was wearing a smooth, tight-fitting suit, like a female Ultraman in armor, its whole body shimmering with a cold luster.
Her snow-white long hair fluttered in the wind, and the sun directly overhead happened to fall behind her, dyeing her graceful silhouette in a halo of golden light.
Although from this angle her heavy twin peaks blocked her face, just standing there, her indifference as she looked down upon all living things was like a god descending to the world.
Coming to his senses, Scar Brother scrambled backward, his hands and feet scraping against the ground.
Yun Zhuo lifted his foot and looked at Teacher Su's high heel. Just now, when he crushed the opponent's skull, Teacher Su had been complaining incessantly in his consciousness that it was filthy.
Anyone who didn't know would have thought he stepped in excrement.
Now that he looked, Teacher Su had stopped talking; the clean white high heel looked like it had been oiled, without a speck of blood on it.
Then he squatted down, extended his spear forward, and the tip rested right on Scar Brother's shoulder.
Scar Brother's body sank under the weight, and he immediately became obedient and didn't dare to move.
"What did Chen Bo tell you?"
Yun Zhuo's slightly teasing voice came from Teacher Su's helmet.
"Chen... Chen Bo? I don't know any Chen Bo. Big Brother, did you mistake me for someone else?"
Yun Zhuo didn't bother with small talk; he directly slammed his spear onto Liao Hu's leg, shattering his kneecap into a comminuted fracture, as if a piece of rolled dough had been flattened.
Just as Liao Hu wanted to clutch his leg and scream, Yun Zhuo pressed the spear tip against his chin, lifting his head up.
"Right now, I only smashed your left leg. Later, I can smash your right leg, and your hands too. If you have nothing better to do, feel free to keep quibbling."
The excruciating pain from his leg made Liao Hu clench his teeth desperately, his cheeks puffed up like a Steamed Bun, causing the veins on his temples to bulge, which stood out starkly on his pale face.
"He... He told me to cripple you. If you were hard to deal with, I could just kill you, but when I killed you, I had to be on a video call with him.
Anyway, from what I gathered, he just wanted to make you regret provoking him."
"In other words, he wants to act tough in front of me?" Yun Zhuo asked.
Liao Hu swallowed with difficulty: "I guess so."
"Find a way to lure him out."
"How is that possible? President Chen would never let him come out."
"That's your problem! If you can't lure him out, I'll beat you to death. It's up to you."
After saying this, Yun Zhuo stood up and moved to the side, giving him plenty of space to perform.
