Target energy signature - locked! Planetary core life energy level! Threat level - maximum! Clear command - activated!
Buzz——!
The high-frequency oscillating particle blade instantly activated, its edge emitting an eardrum-piercing shriek! A blinding burst of light suddenly erupted from the dark blue energy jets at the joints of the Hunter's legs! Its entire body transformed into a dark silver afterimage that tore through the air, aiming directly at the most central and majestic direction of the City of Thorns' energy reaction: the Emerald Tower!
Boom!
The moment the Stalker launched, a dozen meters ahead, a patchwork of tangled vines and massive, knotted root nodules, suddenly exploded! A figure, covered in dark gold patterns and ablaze with pitch-black, apocalyptic flames, burst forth from the earth like a demon from hell, shattering everything with unbridled force! Pei Du! His appearance was precisely timed to coincide with the Stalker's charge. His dark-gold-patterned right fist, with a space-shattering shriek, unpretentiously slammed into the Stalker's metal chest! Wherever his fist passed, the air was forcibly compressed and ionized, leaving a trail of vacuum in its wake!
The Hunter's single crimson eye instantly captured Pei Du's movements. Its combat logic predicted them within a billionth of a second. No dodging! The dark blue diamond-shaped energy shield on its left arm instantly shifted sideways, blocking Pei Du's devastating punch with uncanny precision! Simultaneously, the high-frequency particle blade on its right arm slashed a deadly crimson arc, like a scorpion's stinger, striking Pei Du's defenseless ribs at an incredibly tricky angle!
Attack and defense in one! A perfect killing machine!
Boom——!!!
A dull, heart-stopping thud echoed, like a ten-thousand-ton hammer hitting a superalloy anvil!
Pei Du's fist, covered with dark gold patterns and burning with pitch-black flames, slammed hard onto the hunter's dark blue energy arm shield!
The expected scene of shield breaking and arm breaking did not appear!
The center of the dark blue energy shield, struck by the fist, instantly erupted with a blinding, incandescent light! Like a film of super-tough water thrown upon a boulder, the shield's surface sank and twisted violently! Countless fine, circuit-like energy lines flashed wildly across the shield, overloading and emitting a piercing screeching sound! Violent energy currents emanated from the shield's edges, carving deep furrows into the surrounding ground!
The Hunter's entire heavy metal body was knocked back several meters by this violent punch, and its metal feet plowed two deep, charred grooves into the ground! The trajectory of the particle blade swung back by its right arm was also slightly deflected by the huge impact. The scarlet blade grazed Pei Du's waist covered with dark gold lines, leaving a streak of dazzling sparks and several shattered dark gold energy lines! The skin on Pei Du's waist was torn by the high-frequency energy contained in the blade, and a shallow bloodstain appeared instantly, which was then forcibly sealed by the energy of the end!
Pei Du's molten gold pupils suddenly contracted! This monster's defenses far exceeded expectations! That energy shield could actually withstand his powerful blows, imbued with the power of the End, without shattering. His left hand, covered in dark gold lines, instantly transformed into a blade. The inky black power of the End, with its absolute will to annihilate matter, pierced the hunter's head, exposed by the hunter's blocking, like a pitch-black lightning bolt!
However, the hunter's reaction was even faster! It seemed to have foreseen Pei Du's attack! As it withstood the blow and retreated, the crimson light at the center of its faceted head suddenly shone brightly like a blood diamond! An invisible, highly concentrated mental shockwave, like the most sinister sting, ignored physical defenses and instantly penetrated Pei Du's core of consciousness!
Ice cold! Chaos! Billions of illogical code fragments, brimming with destructive commands, assaulted Pei Du's will like a flood, attempting to disintegrate his thoughts and freeze his movements! It was a pure, emotionless torrent of killing commands! Even Pei Du's resilient will, having weathered countless mental shocks, felt like being thrown into a high-speed meat grinder. Instantly, he felt a tearing pain! His left palm blade thrust inevitably faltered!
It's this billionth of a second delay!
The high-frequency particle blade on the Hunter's right arm didn't retract after deflecting. Instead, it pressed downward, the blade edge swung upward at an incredible angle, piercing Pei Du's throat, where his defenses had been weakened by the mental shock! Simultaneously, the energy jets on its legs flashed again, its entire body clinging to Pei Du like a thorn in its flesh. The energy shield on its left arm suddenly thrust forward, a dark blue energy glow bursting forth, slamming fiercely into Pei Du's chest! The transition from offense to defense was seamless! The efficiency of this killing machine was brought to its peak!
The tip of the scarlet particle blade was about to pierce Pei Du's throat, and the energy shield that could withstand the heavy punch of the End was about to knock him away!
At this critical moment!
"Get out of here!"
A clear and angry roar sounded like thunder from the sky!
In the space surrounding Pei Du, countless tiny golden dots of light materialized and condensed! Xu Shuangyao's figure shifted from imaginary to concrete, as if born directly from pure life energy! Her white, vine-lined dress fluttered without a breeze, and the golden flame mark between her brows burned to its peak, illuminating her beautiful face like a god! Her hands formed seals across her chest, so fast that they left afterimages behind!
Buzz——!!!
With her at its center, a pure, majestic life energy, imbued with supreme purifying intent, erupted like a golden tsunami! This energy didn't directly attack the pursuer, but instead enveloped Pei Du with uncanny precision! Like the warmest holy light, it instantly washed away the cold, chaotic torrent of commands that had invaded his sea of consciousness!
Pei Du's molten gold pupils instantly regained clarity! The sluggish left palm blade was no longer hindered. With the accumulated anger and the ultimate will of annihilation, it pierced the side of the hunter's head face like lightning that pierced the darkness!
