CHAPTER 328: CHAPTER 327: CAN ONLY HUG, NOT LICK

And at this moment.

The battle between the Mecha and the Giant Ape had reached a fever pitch.

At first, Xu Lingjun was quite inexperienced, after all, the last time he operated the Mecha, it was in cooperation with Wang Qingya, and mainly it was Wang Qingya controlling the Mecha through him.

This was the first time he truly operated it alone.

But he was no longer the same as Wang Qingya.

Wang Qingya, after all, was a first-timer, lacking experience and unable to endure the heavy pressure, soon bleeding profusely and turning pale, unable to hold up... but that was entirely because she was just an ordinary person who couldn’t withstand the rough handling, even sitting on Xu Lingjun’s lap was the same.

But Xu Lingjun was different.

Upon reaching the Profound Realm, now wherever he went, he was already considered a master.

Controlling the Mecha was effortless for him, aside from some slight awkwardness at the beginning, during the battle with the Giant Ape, he became more and more familiar with the combat procedures.

Especially with no worry of lacking energy anymore.

He could use the Mecha freely; even with one hand protecting Li Jingjun, he completely maintained a state of fair competition with the Giant Ape.

And at this moment.

As he became increasingly familiar with the operation system.

From initially only being able to smash the Giant Ape with the Light Beam Shield, to later, while entangled with the Giant Ape, he was also able to release two Dragon Cavalry Systems to entangle the Giant Ape, causing it tremendous trouble, making it howl ceaselessly.

"Roar~~!"

In the Giant Ape’s angry roar, there was a hint of bewildered helplessness.

Mind you, it had been decades since it was born, and since it matured, it had never lost if only strength was concerned.

But this time...

It was forced to only entwine with the enemy with agile movements.

Even a little carelessness would result in getting hit by the cannon... no matter how tough it was, it still gritted its teeth in pain, being struck until its flesh was torn open.

The more it fought, the more fear crept into its heart, and the desire for revenge faded.

This was different from when it lost an arm to the opponent’s sword before; it was scared witless back then, realistically, if it had reacted faster and dodged in time, there would have been nothing to fear.

But now.

It had to sadly admit that the opponent’s absolute strength was completely above its own.

If the fight continued...

It might die.

For a moment, the idea of escape took precedence.

"Roar~~~!"

It roared again, but the desperation in the sound had significantly diminished.

After throwing a fierce punch which the opponent dodged, the Giant Ape dared not linger, and without hesitation, turned to leave.

But just as it turned around, Xu Lingjun was not about to let it leave just like that, and he casually placed Li Jingjun on his shoulder, the thrusters suddenly accelerating, directly crashing into the Giant Ape...

Causing it to stagger.

Both hands found a gap.

The Mecha forcibly pressed the Giant Ape down, stepping on its remaining arm, pinning it down, forcibly prying open its jaws, and a blisteringly dazzling ray of light began to radiate from the chest.

The Phase Beam Cannon started charging, and then a violent scarlet beam burst from the chest, directly blasting into the Giant Ape’s mouth...

The fierce beam strike was like flowing lava, filling the Giant Ape’s mouth.

The Giant Ape’s snow-white body started to radiate a scarlet hue, twitched twice, and became motionless.

A great victory was achieved!

No matter how powerful, the Giant Ape was primarily a Demon Beast focused on agility, and after losing an arm to the Sword of Oath and Victory, its agility was significantly diminished, not to mention its absolute strength being far inferior to the Assault Freedom Mecha.

In less than ten minutes.

The Giant Ape was left with nothing but a mutilated corpse.

Li Jingjun stared wide-eyed in shock, unable to believe that the Giant Ape, which had previously rendered her defenseless, had been killed in just ten minutes by Xu Lingjun’s robot.

Her lips parted, and she called out, "Xu Lingjun... classmate..."

Xu Lingjun grasped Li Jingjun back into his palm.

Looking at the pale-faced girl in his palm, he said, "Are you alright?"

Li Jingjun apologized, "I think my leg might be broken, I’m really sorry, Xu Lingjun, for troubling you to rescue me again."

"With our relationship, saying thanks or sorry would be too distant, wouldn’t it?"

He placed his hand at chest level.

The hatch opened, and Xu Lingjun appeared at the hatch, carefully leaping onto the hand of the Mecha.

Crouching down, he said, "I apologize."

He gently cradled Li Jingjun in his arms.

Li Jingjun somewhat bashfully looked at the crook of her leg held by Xu Lingjun and said, "When we played games, you always joked about hugging my thigh, hugging my thigh. Is this now a literal thigh hug?"

Xu Lingjun instantly chuckled, responding, "I guess it is. I didn’t expect such a casual remark to actually come true."

"Hugging is fine, but don’t lick."

Li Jingjun recalled Xu Lingjun’s joking remarks during their gaming sessions, making her feel a bit shy, and she said, "I haven’t bathed in days."

"Okay, I know."

Xu Lingjun thought to himself, this girl is too straightforward.

I was only joking about hugging and licking, but she actually took it seriously back then...

Jingjun’s demeanor is really good, she didn’t even get angry when she took it seriously.

He smiled as he picked Li Jingjun up and turned to walk towards the cabin.

Just then, Zhou Qianmo’s eyes suddenly tightened, and he silently exclaimed, "Opportunity!"

Like an arrow leaving the string, he suddenly broke away from the tree and dashed towards Xu Lingjun.

Zhou Qianmo had hidden himself too well; before he moved, even Xiaoya hadn’t detected his presence.

And just as he moved.

"Master, be careful!!!"

Xiaoya suddenly shouted in alarm, along with a bit of paralysis.

Evidently... realizing there wasn’t enough time to convey a message through sound, Xiaoya acted directly on Xu Lingjun, a weak electric current instantly stimulating him, making his whole body tense up, even causing Li Jingjun to let out a low cry, evidently also getting shocked by it.

Xu Lingjun felt an ominous premonition rising.

He was secretly astonished, not knowing who was so skilled to evade Xiaoya’s detection.

But at this moment, there was no time for anything.

"Hold onto me."

Xu Lingjun shouted, casually grabbing the Sword of Oath and Victory.

A flash of light swept by.

The invisible sword was instantly exposed, accompanied by a rise of fierce golden light.

Xu Lingjun was already very familiar with how Excalibur worked, and in just a moment, as the opponent was closing in, he felt a golden light rushing towards them.

The scorching radiance even made Zhou Qianmo’s hairs stand on end.

This kid has so many cards; with just him alone, he likely has the strength to kill Xiaomu solo.

Xiaochen was right, this kid must be involved in Xiaomu’s death.

Thinking this way, his heart turned furious...

A rare opportunity.

Even with the hair-raising fear, facing the incoming golden light cannon attack, Zhou Qianmo decisively gathered all his power.

With an angry roar.

A palm struck out, a sharp ghostly blue Blade Qi soaring into the sky, then slashing down towards Xu Lingjun and Li Jingjun.

Once you strike, there’s the risk of exposure...

These two cannot be allowed to live!
