Chapter 317: Chapter 145: Killing the Robot

Gao Xin struck a successful blow but did not let his guard down.

He spun his body in a circle and then delivered another vertical chop, trying to split the robot in two again.

However, the headless robot continued its attack unabated, its twin blades merging instantaneously and slicing through Gao Xin’s torso and neck.

"Ding! Ding Ding Ding!"

"Puchi!"

As Gao Xin’s Demon Blade spun, it clashed with the robot’s silver blades, followed by a series of piercing collision sounds, and his body, casting a mist of blood, was thrown out.

This robot, having lost its head, seemed like it had lost nothing, striking swiftly and forcefully.

Gao Xin had deflected nearly all of the robot’s attacks, and the light blade of the Demon Blade had pocked the silver blade, but still, he was struck by a blow—it was an inevitable consequence of the robot’s superior speed.

If he were fighting head-to-head with a True Tiger class for too long, he wouldn’t stand a chance; the gap in attributes was double.

Fortunately, as he was locked in this grueling exchange, Ling Sha’s Blast Punch arrived once more.

"Die!"

The sound of the punch colliding was deafening, and Ling Sha once again sent the robot flying with a bursting body and spinning through the air.

But this time, she performed a Rising Dragon maneuver, followed immediately by a soaring Charged Bombardment!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

One Charged Bombardment followed another, Ling Sha’s attacks accelerating into three rapid stages, each blow imbued with penetrating force and reverberating with thunderous impacts.

One human and one machine fought from the ground to the air and then back to the ground.

Ling Sha’s gloves were extraordinarily tough, and each strike penetrated defenses, shattering the robot’s metal shell.

Gao Xin advanced with a sliding step to support Ling Sha.

Meanwhile, Lin An pointed toward the tunnel and shouted, "The head is still active, moving!"

Only the robot’s neck was severed; its head was intact and had fallen to the ground.

At that moment, liquid metal began to spread from the chin, quickly forming into several fine mechanical legs, resembling a spider.

With the formation of the spider legs, the head itself became much thinner, fully revealing its core structure—it turned out to be a laser emitter.

Combined with the eight legs, it indeed resembled a laser-emitting mechanical spider.

The spider crawled swiftly with a creeking noise, quickly moving along the walls of the Duel Arena.

"Chirp! Chirp!"

Every few seconds, the mechanical spider would fire a laser beam, powerful enough to melt through a True Tiger class body.

Lin An instantly accelerated into a second phase, dodging at high speed, yet he was still struck through.

But he endured the pain and, exploiting the intervals, closed in to deliver a strike with his sword, sending sparks flying from the mechanical spider.

Visible electric arcs crackled on its surface, followed by a wisp of blue smoke.

His High-pressure Electric Sword, though ineffective against Gao Xin, proved remarkably effective against a mechanical spider.

Seizing the opportunity, Lin An launched a series of relentless attacks, dismembering and chopping up the mechanical spider on the spot.

Even then, it was still moving. In the end, Lin An continued chopping it until it was as fine as gravel before completely neutralizing it.

"No battery found; this robot runs on wireless energy. As long as at least one Intelligent Mechanism Module remains in the severed limbs, they can be transformed into a combat unit at any time!"

Having dealt with the mechanical spider, Lin An immediately alerted Ling Sha.

Ling Sha smiled confidently, "I know, but my penetrating force can shatter its Intelligent Mechanism Modules. Watch me smash it into scrap metal!"

Gao Xin was taken aback, "Infinite energy?"

Seeing his confusion, Ling Sha laughed, "It’s a global wireless superconducting energy network, backed by countless fusion energy cores."

"Theoretically, official robots are never supposed to run out of energy."

Gao Xin’s pupils narrowed, "Then how can we destroy the robots?"

"They have an endless supply of energy and can repair themselves with liquid metal; do we really have to shred them?"

Gao Xin easily overcame what was described as expert-level combat awareness and lopped off the robot’s head with a single slash.

But robots, after all, are not human.

Humans die when killed, but a robot with a severed head has its combat capability undiminished and can even split into two combat units.

He was prepared for this, so after beheading the robot, he did not slack off and continued his strikes.

Yet hearing that the robots had an infinite energy supply still shocked him.

With the ability to keep running and repair themselves, aren’t they perpetual fighting machines?

Ling Sha explained, "Shredding is one way, but the key is to destroy all the Intelligent Mechanism Modules."

"As far as I know, a True Tiger level combat robot can typically break down into three thousand six hundred combat units, which means there are three thousand six hundred Intelligent Mechanism Modules distributed throughout its body."

"That’s the lifeblood of the robot. Once you destroy all these modules, it’s just a pile of materials."

"My gloves have an electromagnetic impact feature, capable of emitting an electromagnetic force to instantly vibrate a range and shatter its internal structure, making it extremely effective against these robots."

Gao Xin nodded slightly; he had previously felt that Ling Sha’s punches seemed capable of controlling kinetic energy, and it was indeed so.

At the beginning of the game, he had exchanged a punch with Ling Sha. At that time, he’d deliberately not worn his gloves, clashing flesh against flesh, and his entire arm had exploded.

Even though he had intentionally held back then, the power of that punch was truly fierce.

"Intelligent Mechanism Modules are the lifeblood, eh? What exactly are they?" Gao Xin was eager to learn this knowledge.

That was something even his father, Gao Jiaoji, did not understand, as Gao Jiaoji’s knowledge was very outdated and he rarely dealt with these high-end combat robots.

Ling Sha seemed very familiar with it and directly said, "It’s a teardrop-shaped object that contains a chip, you don’t need to search for it, it’s very small, just the size of a pinky nail."

"That thing can even move around inside a robot’s body, so it’s almost impossible to destroy the robot by slashing, unless the slashing power is particularly great, to completely smash it."

"Otherwise, it’s best to rely on explosive power, shock force, or high temperature melting, to eliminate these things in bulk."

As she spoke, Ling Sha’s Charged Bombardment continued relentlessly, having already battered the robot into partial disablement and clearly having destroyed many internal Intelligent Mechanism Modules.

During her charging interval, it was Gao Xin’s turn to act.

Although slashing did little damage to the robot, the plasma light blade unleashed by Gao Xin’s Demon Blade could melt at high temperatures.

Even B+ level metal would still be melted by the blue-white super-high temperature plasma reaching up to six thousand degrees.

It was clear that although the robot was made entirely of B+ grade materials, it wasn’t anything valuable.

"With both of us teaming up, this robot is not a concern," Gao Xin quickly assessed.

The robot was indeed formidable; if Gao Xin had been fighting alone, plus not being familiar with the principle, it probably would have been a tough battle.

True Tiger Level full six-dimensional attributes, body strength of B+ grade materials, Liquid Metal Repair, wireless superconductive energy, expert-level combat consciousness, ability to ignore fraction injuries...

Each feature was not simple, each stronger than Gao Xin.

Of course, except for the expert-level combat consciousness, which to Gao Xin, was like a ’debuff’.

Not to mention being weak like a viper, it was even weaker than a viper!

The battle consciousness deduced from human data, when matched against the Heart of Underlying Logic, the stronger it actually is, the weaker it gets!

Humans still could pull a neural blade trick, but this robot executed perfectly; in Gao Xin’s eyes, it was simply full of vulnerabilities.

If it really knew no tactics, very skilled yet overly straightforward, one power defeating ten guilds, turn-based blood swapping, Gao Xin would actually have a hard time withstanding...

But this advantage was really hard to compensate for the other shortcomings; in a duel, this robot was stronger than any of them, a true non-inflated prospective Tiger King.

Ling Sha slightly nodded: "This robot is slightly stronger than me, mainly because I can’t outlast it..."

"Battling it, I must activate triple overclocking, only then can my strength and speed barely surpass it."

"But I can’t hold on for long, my condition would only get worse, while its condition is constant..."

"Unless I break through, it will grind me to death."

Gao Xin smiled: "Same for me."

Both admitted that without a breakthrough, they would lose in a duel with the robot.

But to note, Gao Xin was just sub-Tiger Level...

Ling Sha glanced at him with slight annoyance, how could sub-Tiger Level be the same as her True Tiger Level, his words putting her in an awkward position?

Just as the two of them were steadily dismantling the robot, at a pace that could finish the battle within five minutes.

Suddenly from above someone shouted, "Great chance, I’ll blast it to death!"

A Plasma Cannon shot down, and Gao Xin and Ling Sha immediately halted their attacks, scattering apart.

"Boom!"

The blue-white plasma ball hit the robot, directly blasting its body apart!

A large area dissolved, streaks of high-temperature plasma spread, and waves of heat rolled.

The robot’s upper body was completely destroyed, split open like a pitcher plant, resembling a silver flower with legs.

The one who acted was Iron Hand; compared to the others’ hard battles, he was much safer.

Relying on both arms to ascend higher, finally reaching his comfort zone... the ceiling.

Here, like a high-mounted cannon, he could shoot downward.

Taking advantage of the suppression from Gao Xin and the others, his shot was soul-stirringly accurate, blasting the robot into severe damage.

"What are you doing? You want to steal the kill?" Ling Sha shouted.

Iron Hand hastily said, "Don’t put it so harshly!"

"Aren’t we all fighting together? I’m providing firepower support, with just two shots I can blast it to death!"

In terms of destructive power, Iron Hand was indeed the fiercest one.

Hitting the target, the robot was severely damaged.

Gao Xin sheathed his blade: "No worries, whoever kills it first doesn’t matter."

"We are all teammates, and we agreed that each of us would slay one, didn’t we?"

Iron Hand laughed: "That’s right, Tai Sui always speaks pleasantly."

With that, Plasma Cannon bombs fell one by one, blasting the severely damaged robot.

Finally, it was blown into a puddle of goo, thoroughly eliminated.

Ling Sha looked on coldly, everyone understood Iron Hand’s little scheme, he was merely worried about further uncertainties later, thus wanted to seize the early advantage.

The current team of four formed a three-way delicate situation.

Ling Sha and Lin An were the most powerful duo, followed by Gao Xin with supreme individual combat ability, and lastly Iron Hand, who was merely more fierce in firepower and could fly to save his life.

So in Iron Hand’s eyes, if any upheavals were to occur in the team later, both Ling Sha and Gao Xin likely could still handle the robots once the team breaks, only he couldn’t.

Thus, taking advantage of the early honeymoon period to secure kills was his best option.

Miss this village, and there might not be such a shop again.
