Chapter 362: Chapter 361: Don’t Mess with Me in the Next Life
Light!
The ultimate intense light.
In the midst of the light and shadow, it seemed like a giant appeared, and this giant smashed a punch at Zhou Qianmo.
The mountains shook and the ground quaked, as if the sky was collapsing.
Amidst the light and shadow, accompanied by a piercing wail...
Two figures swiftly dashed out from within.
They were Xu Lingjun and Han Yun City, but at this moment, Xu Lingjun was dressed in Vibranium Armor, with a microcomputer embedded in his arm, and holding a Spark Prism.
Evidently...
There was no figure of him in the nanometer armor just now; the armor of Iron Man itself has a computer with automatic remote control capabilities, just like how he remotely controlled the Mecha earlier.
Zhou Qianmo didn’t understand technology, so he didn’t grasp the reason behind it and mistakenly thought Xu Lingjun was within the armor.
However, Xu Lingjun had already hidden himself invisibly to the side...
In order to deal with Zhou Qianmo.
Xu Lingjun went to great lengths, racking his brain with countless ideas.
He fantasized about powering up the C4 Garuda with micro bombs to directly blow Zhou Qianmo to death, but unfortunately, the bomb’s power was too strong. To use it in the Imperial Capital would likely flatten half of it.
Other powerful heat weapons were similarly passed up.
Finally, he thought of the Spark Prism.
It was proven to be capable of causing fatal injuries to an Upper Realm Returning Origin Grandmaster...
It’s okay to use good things a few more times.
And to draw close to Zhou Qianmo, making him fully bear the damage of the Spark Prism, Xu Lingjun specially empowered a microcomputer from the Iron Warrior, using a magnetic field to bend light and achieve invisibility.
But such invisibility cannot move.
Hence, Xiaoya needed to maneuver the nanometer armor, using the Spark Prism’s toy to impersonate him, luring Zhou Qianmo to the fixed hiding place of Xu Lingjun.
Fortunately, Zhou Qianmo was concerned about his grandson, causing both of them to succeed in their deceit.
And now, seeing Zhou Qianmo entirely engulfed by the light, Xu Lingjun shouted, "Han Yun City!"
"Here!"
Han Yun City spat a mouthful of blood, screamed loudly, both arm bones completely fractured, but both legs still intact, he threw a kick filled with all his power onto Xu Lingjun’s back.
Xu Lingjun’s body suddenly swelled.
The Sword of Oath and Victory in his hand began to radiate blinding light.
"Excalibur!!!"
Xu Lingjun roared, swinging the sword, and before the pure light dissipated, the scorching radiance surged again.
The combined attack gathering both their full power, through the Sword of Oath and Victory’s augmentation, was directly poured onto Zhou Qianmo.
The harrowing scream gradually diminished until there was no sound.
"Is... is he dead?"
Han Yun City lay powerlessly on the ground, eyes vacant, murmuring, "If he’s not dead, then we will be."
"That’s you, I still have the strength for one last battle, but conservatively speaking, even if he’s not dead, he’s not far from it."
Xu Lingjun once again hid the Sword of Oath and Victory, holding the long sword, fixated on the front where the dissipating light was.
Suddenly...
A bloody figure rushed out from the depths of the light, holding a pitch-black burned bag, fleeing towards the distance.
The right arm was partially missing, most of the foot had melted, and the eyeballs were completely melted and glued to the face.
The left side was also cut open halfway... It’s hard to believe how he managed to hang his upper body on.
But he was still alive.
Wounded to such an extent, Zhou Qianmo was actually still alive.
"We can’t let him escape!"
Han Yun City leaped, even though both arms were broken, and countless ribs were fractured, he gritted his teeth, wanting to catch up.
"Don’t worry, he won’t get away."
Xu Lingjun waved, and a massive robot emerged in front of him.
He jumped into the cockpit.
Shouted, "Xiaoya, help me aim!"
"Understood!"
Previously, Xiaoya was just an auxiliary artificial intelligence, but after Xu Lingjun powered up the Iron Warrior’s microcomputer from a higher civilization, allowing Xiaoya to reside within, its biggest shortcoming was filled.
Now Xiaoya had truly become an all-purpose AI.
Strong Assault stood up.
Raised its arm, and a long-range beam rifle fired a shot; it looked like a casual shot, but the target, even compared to a Mecha, was scarcely larger than a bird in terms of a human, yet it was incredibly accurate, directly aiming at the heart!
However, seeing the scorching beam approaching his body, Zhou Qianmo, in the face of the extreme threat of death, managed to dodge away.
Boom, boom, boom, boom...
The Mecha continued to shoot.
But Zhou Qianmo was as slippery as an eel, difficult to catch.
"We can’t let him escape into the bustling area, or today’s efforts will be in vain!"
Strong Assault advanced, shooting while chasing Zhou Qianmo.
But in front...
The gunfire suddenly magnified.
Zhou Qianmo’s initial incredible speed abruptly halted as if thunderstruck, and he retreated backward.
"Master, detected multiple units of heat weapons stationed ahead, blocking Zhou Qianmo’s path!"
"Great opportunity!"
Xu Lingjun shouted, "Open fire!"
Two beam rifles fired simultaneously.
This time, not only Xu Lingjun was firing; artillery fire also accompanied from the front.
No matter how hard Zhou Qianmo tried to dodge, he was severely injured, no longer agile.
Though he did his best to dodge, Xiaoya-assisted point shots required him to focus all his attention on evading. With extra support now... no matter how hard he tried, he was ultimately shot through the chest, toppling over with a thud.
Disheveled, he rolled several times.
A pile of white bones scattered and rolled out.
It was undoubtedly the remains of Zhou Mu; Zhou Qianmo struggled to get up to collect them but his consciousness began to fade from his body.
Immobile.
Xu Lingjun piloted the Mecha over, just landed, and immediately caused the stationed soldiers to raise their guns hostilely.
"Stop, it’s one of our own!"
Han Qingxue stepped out quickly, looking up at the towering Mecha, a fascinated look flashed in her eyes, and she shouted, "Is that you, Xu Lingjun?"
Han Qingxue?
Xu Lingjun opened the cockpit, leaping out from inside, landing right beside Zhou Qianmo, looking at him gasping, already breathing in with no out, Zhou Qianmo.
Now the enemy was nearing death.
Xu Lingjun finally felt settled.
He let out a long breath, bent down to help pick up all the bones, and stuffed them into Zhou Qianmo’s arms.
Said, "Rest assured, after you die, I will bury you and Zhou Mu’s bones together. If you hadn’t forced too much, I wouldn’t have resorted to such desperate measures. In the next life, don’t provoke me again."
Zhou Qianmo, hearing this, seemed finally at peace.
His powerlessly struggling body slowly went still, despite being a Grandmaster, successive severe injuries had long reached the end of his life.
If not for his obsession...
He feared he would have long been completely melted in that endless light.
Now his last worry was gone; he held his grandson’s half-melted remains tightly...
Looking at Zhou Qianmo’s tragic death, Han Qingxue couldn’t help but sigh gently.
Her heart wasn’t without melancholy either...
Previously, as their interests aligned, she knew Zhou Qianmo was using her, but as long as objectives were achieved, she didn’t mind being used like a fool.
But now that he had acted so unwisely, she naturally had to make a choice for self-preservation.
Just like now...
But in reality, watching Zhou Qianmo holding the mostly melted remains of his grandson, dying in such a scene, a sudden thought arose in her mind.
If I were to die, would the Emperor Father go to such lengths to protect my remains?
With this thought, the desolation in her eyes deepened.
