Chapter 110: Harming Others and Oneself
Chapter 110: Harming Others and Oneself
In this rare opportunity to escape with their lives during such a confrontation, the two didn't hesitate for a moment.
Li Qian used the soul pact to contact Qi Zai, instructing it to flee as fast as it could. Taking advantage of the moment when the Dragon Bull was dealing with the hidden Machinery Drought Sect member, it would run as far as it could.
As for whether they would encounter other extraordinary creatures or fall into a new crisis, they couldn't afford to worry about that now.
Qi Zai was naturally gifted, and as a powerful companion beast with the potential to reach the Overlord Fifth Rank, its intelligence far surpassed that of ordinary companion beasts.
At this very moment, even without Li Qian's orders, it knew what to do.
It sprinted with all its might, using the 'Dragon Soar' skill without holding back on energy. In just a few breaths, it flew several kilometers away.
Just as they took off, the next second, a battle unfolded on a small hill not far from them.
No, to be precise, it wasn't a battle but a one-sided slaughter, as the hidden Machinery Drought Sect member had almost no resistance.
Like the Machinery Drought Sect members in the real world, he had mastered the ability to merge with the robot.
After merging, their strength would surge in a short period.
Facing the Dragon Bull's swift pounce, the hidden Machinery Drought Sect member's soul was terrified.
He dared not hesitate and quickly unleashed his ultimate move, then raised a light shield to block the attack.
Boom!
The Dragon Bull's tail swung like a giant hammer from the sky, striking down with incredible speed and explosive power.
With just one strike, the light shield skill, which the merged robot had exerted its full strength to cast, was shattered.
Without losing momentum, the Dragon Bull accurately struck the merged robot's chest.
The merged robot, as expected, was knocked back by the Dragon Bull's tail hammer.
Finally, with a loud 'Boom', it smashed into a small grove in the distance, even plowing a long gorge in the ground.
Sizzle, sizzle...
The merged robot lay in the gorge, its body scattered with numerous components. The machine's body and internal wiring were severely damaged, sparking with thick arcs.
It was evident that with just one strike, the merged robot had suffered almost catastrophic damage.
The Machinery Drought Sect member, merged with the robot and seated in the cockpit, turned pale instantly. Cold sweat drenched his entire body, soaking his clothes.
Without hesitation, he pressed a red button next to the cockpit.
As the red button was pressed, thicker arcs of electricity suddenly emerged from the merged robot lying in the gorge.
Then, the next moment...
Boom!
The robot's body exploded violently.
The explosion was incredibly powerful, and the Dragon Bull, which was not an ordinary extraordinary creature with intelligence, was hit hard. Its chest was scorched black by the blast.
This was the robot's suicide strike, and it was normal for it to have such power.
However, the Dragon Bull was not an ordinary extraordinary creature with intelligence; its rationality was almost non-existent.
After being injured again, it roared even more angrily and ferociously.
"Roar, roar, roar..."
It took two steps in one, and in an instant, it reached the remains of the merged robot.
Facing the mangled remains, the Dragon Bull showed no signs of holding back. Its sharp claws furiously stabbed down.
Boom, boom, boom...
The Dragon Bull relentlessly struck with its claws, tearing the already scattered remains of the merged robot into even smaller pieces.
After venting its frustration, the Dragon Bull's anger dissipated significantly. It turned its head and looked towards the direction where Li Qian and Chu Xiran had fled.
Just at that moment, from the ruins that had been ravaged beyond recognition, a mechanical octopus, roughly the size of an adult, stealthily emerged, preparing to escape the scene.
Inside the mechanical octopus, there was a chamber, and at this very moment, a member of the Machinery Drought Sect, who had been hiding in the shadows, was curled up within this chamber.
This was his last resort to save his life.
In most cases, it could also ensure his survival.
Unfortunately, this situation was different. The Dragon Bull's perception was incredibly sharp, and at such close proximity, even the slightest sound couldn't escape its ears.
The mechanical octopus barely moved, and just as it showed signs of attempting to escape, the Dragon Bull became aware of it.
The octopus was also very agile. Seeing that the Dragon Bull was about to turn its head, it immediately stopped its escape and once again transformed into a lifeless object.
The Dragon Bull's eyes flickered, and then it suddenly opened its mouth, releasing a scorching heat that instantly dissipated.
In this terrifying heat, an orange fireball with a diameter of five to six meters shot out.
Boom!
The massive orange fireball hit most of the combined robot's remains, and unfortunately, the mechanical octopus was also covered within it.
"Ah! I can't accept this!" A faint, barely audible wail of agony echoed, and then everything returned to nothingness.
After the dust settled, upon closer inspection, the scene was devoid of any remains, leaving only a pool of molten lava.
The poor member of the Machinery Drought Sect, a renowned Overlord-ranked beastmaster, had died so unceremoniously, without any dignity or presence.
If Li Qian had been present at the scene and witnessed this, he would have surely sighed, "This is a self-inflicted fate, harming oneself in the end!"
Before this, if this guy hadn't framed Li Qian and Chu Xiran, and had sneaked away, there might have been a chance for him to escape.
After completing these actions, the Dragon Bull didn't linger. It exerted tremendous force and started sprinting, its speed reaching a point where it was almost impossible to capture with the naked eye.
Li Qian and Chu Xiran rode Qi Zai and fled at an incredible speed, but within less than two minutes, they noticed something amiss.
The raging heavenly and earthly energy was rapidly approaching!
Li Qian instinctively turned around and then couldn't help but exclaim in terror, "Damn, how did this guy catch up!"
He couldn't understand it at all.
How could this guy be so fast!
After all, Qi Zai was flying in the sky, while the Dragon Bull was running on the ground.
Even so, its speed was still far superior.
Chu Xiran asked with a puzzled expression, "What about the Machinery Drought Sect member hiding in the shadows?"
Li Qian twisted his mouth and couldn't help but complain, "He was at least an Overlord-ranked beastmaster, and he died so quickly!"
"Then, next, aren't we..." She turned back and saw that the Dragon Bull was gradually closing the distance, and Chu Xiran's voice became anxious.
Li Qian grimaced and said, "Unless a miracle happens, today, we, teacher and student, might have to hang here together!"
"You sound so relaxed..." Chu Xiran took a deep breath, and her anxious expression lessened slightly.
Li Qian's mouth twitched, "I feel like crying, but for some reason, I just can't shed tears!"
