At that moment, the silver mecha was buzzing to move, its protective shield on the surface spewing light, shifting unpredictably.
"Last time, he didn’t have a protective shield..."
Fang Zhixing instantly noticed that the silver mecha had an additional protective layer, seemingly able to isolate the air.
Perhaps, this was the silver mecha’s method to resist "corrosion."
After all, once exposed to the air, it would continuously rust.
The next moment, the silver mecha raised its right hand.
The right hand suddenly emitted a mechanical friction noise, changing shape, and the entire arm swelled drastically.
The silver palm was raised, slowly opening.
In the center of the palm, a dark hole appeared, widening continuously.
Then, inside the hole, brilliant white light began to gather.
"Damn, is this a cannon...?"
Xigou instinctively widened his eyes, his fur standing on end.
The next instant, boom!
A beam of brilliant white light burst forth from the palm of the silver mecha, carrying a thunderous force.
It was like a thunderclap exploding, shaking the heavens and the earth!
The strong recoil made the body of the silver mecha tremble violently.
The white beam shot through the air, and the temperature around it soared rapidly.
Fang Zhixing couldn’t help but shudder, not thinking twice, his ten Blood-colored Tentacles vibrated wildly, growing a thick layer of Jade Qilin on the surface.
The white beam targeted Fang Zhixing and in a flash, engulfed him with terrifying impact force, resembling a meteor crashing to earth, unstoppable, coming straight at him!
A Blood-colored Tentacle sprang up high, its tip blackened, emitting red flames and thick smoke.
A sharp pain assaulted him!
Fang Zhixing’s eyes sparkled with odd light, though slightly surprised, he was not at all panicked.
The terrifying regenerative capacity burst forth instantly, and the destroyed flesh almost immediately recovered in the blink of an eye.
The lumps of flesh on Fang Zhixing’s body grew rapidly, transforming into a grotesquely ugly form.
After firing once, the silver mecha seemed to have anticipated this result.
Immediately, it raised its other arm, which then transformed into a large cannon barrel.
The white light gathered again.
The second Energy Cannon shot followed swiftly.
Fang Zhixing bared his teeth in a fierce grin, disregarding the flesh lumps on his body, he didn’t hesitate and dashed forward.
Whirling, his ten Blood-colored Tentacles grew bigger and longer, and his body quickly stretched to twelve meters.
A massive explosive force burst forth immediately, sweeping through the air mightily.
The white beam approached once again, colliding with the explosive force.
The front end of the beam twisted, disintegrated, and broke off in segments, like sugar cane chewed up.
For a moment, the dazzling light was overwhelmingly brilliant, piercing through the rolling dust, causing Xigou to squint his eyes shut.
Soon after, the white beam dissipated completely.
Xigou looked up and saw Fang Zhixing still standing unscathed, without any additional injuries.
This shot was blocked.
"This kid, he really can take a beating!" the silver mecha said coldly.
The barrels of the cannons emitted plumes of white smoke, continuing to target Fang Zhixing, gathering frightening energy.
"Let’s finish him off in one go."
At this time, another figure in a black cloak also shed its cloak, revealing a silver metallic body.
This mecha also raised its arms, transforming them into two large cannon barrels, and began to fire.
In an instant, four beams of Energy Cannon simultaneously aimed at Fang Zhixing, bombarding him ruthlessly!
Fang Zhixing paused for a moment, quickly retracting his ten Blood-colored Tentacles, coiling them around his body.
Several rounds of cannon fire followed continuously, all striking Fang Zhixing without exception.
A moment later, the barrage ended.
As the thick smoke cleared, the pitiful state of Fang Zhixing faced everyone.
His ten Blood-colored Tentacles were riddled with holes, two of which were almost completely shredded, resembling charred squid tentacles.
"He’s not dead yet?" the silver mecha looked and remarked somewhat surprised.
The other laughed, "Huh, these kinds of infected bodies are nearly immortal; it’s not so easy to kill them. But he’s done for, he probably can’t even move now."
Upon hearing this, Xigou stared intently at Fang Zhixing and suddenly realized something terrible.
Fang Zhixing’s legs were completely unrecognizable, all swollen and nearly bursting open like grotesque lumps, hanging limply on the ground like melted cheese.
"Alright, that will do!"
The two silver mechas sneered, slowly retracting their cannons, their arms returning to normal.
"Fang Zhixing, how does it feel?" the silver mecha that Fang Zhixing had killed before, asked, sneering as it approached him.
By this time, Fang Zhixing’s face was so battered that not even his own mother could recognize him.
He gasped for air, his severe injuries rapidly healing, but he was almost being devoured by his flesh lumps.
"Who are you guys, exactly?" Fang Zhixing asked.
The silver mecha laughed proudly, "Well, might as well let you die understanding. Remember this, my name is Luo Yuping, his name is Luo Jianzong. You died at our hands."
Fang Zhixing responded, "That’s not what I asked. What’s with your bodies?"
"Hmm, your curiosity is really strong, isn’t it? Do you feel uneasy in death?"
Luo Yuping laughed heartily, "We chose a different path from you. You followed the path of ’Saintification,’ whereas we pursued ’Mechanical Ascension.’"
Both Fang Zhixing and Xigou were struck hard.
This was the first time they had heard the word "Mechanical" from a native of this world.
