CHAPTER 991: CHAPTER 510: MISUNDERSTANDING_2

The lion exerts its full strength when hunting a rabbit; the Azure Dragon indeed should not be underestimated.

"They even sent an X Level Mechanical Transformation to secretly protect Li Ming; he surely is important."

Beckett’s face was cold as he stared at the nearby Mechanical Transformation, adorned in a metal mask with fiery red hair, shining brightly.

"But the trap is ready; he won’t escape."

Neither side spoke much, knowing that any form of communication might reveal their identity before the mission succeeded.

They were all seasoned veterans, unlikely to make such mistakes.

Lair’s mechanical body glimmered with a cold metallic shine in the starscape, with a bluish energy flow across the armor’s gaps, reacting with the engulfing super plasma, causing continuous sizzling arcs.

Anti-gravity thrusters on its limb joints left a trail of afterimages with each move, heading straight towards the opponent.

Beckett hovered in the void, surrounded by red flames.

His hands formed two star-like fireballs, with flames spiraling into a fierce dragon beneath him, spewing out destructive heat waves with each breath.

Boom!

The two collided, generating a blinding white light.

The surface of Lair’s mechanical body, covered with high-temperature-resistant quantum coating, still glowed red from the scorching heat.

In the instant of collision, it vanished, tearing out a trail as it appeared in the distance.

Beckett followed, merging with the flames, transforming into a humanoid flare.

Massive black dots burst out from Lair’s body, releasing a swarm of nanorobots forming a massive metal web covering half of the Star Domain, even creating a suppressive magnetic field.

Boom!

Beckett compressed the flames into a new star core; the resulting shockwave shredded the metal mesh.

The two were fully engrossed in their battle, while Li Ming was slightly bewildered.

Where did this person come from, and why start fighting?

Robbin relaxed and said, "Lord Azure Dragon indeed planned well, even sending someone for protection."

Li Ming suddenly thought, "You think one of them is with us?"

"Yes..." Robbin felt Li Ming’s question was odd: "Why else would they start fighting?"

Then, realizing something amiss, he hesitantly asked, "What do you mean?"

"No reason." Li Ming shook his head.

These two guys are likely here to ambush him.

However, one side was well-prepared, laying down a series of trapping maneuvers that forced the other person out, instinctively assuming they were there for protection.

Although the situation seemed strange, Li Ming’s expression gradually turned cold.

This time, there were indeed many fish; though he wanted to fish, they seemed to see him as easy prey.

Most likely, they’re not from the Federation or the Empire, at least not from Adam.

They’ve seen Mechanical Holy Spirits, unlikely to act so recklessly.

Nor the Holy Mother Church, their manpower is limited, still studying that severed arm.

"Thus, there are very few suspects left."

Boom!

Another flash of dazzling light; the attacker’s trap wasn’t ordinary, limiting the battle fluctuations of the two X Level Life Forms to this area without widespread leakage.

Lair’s mechanical right arm transformed into a high-speed rotating metal drill, its tip reaching temperatures of millions of degrees, tearing through the vacuum.

Beckett held terrifying energy in his hand; upon collision, the flame burned the metal surface of the drill red and began to peel off.

The rotational force field of the drill tore out spiral energy, while its left arm deployed the Gravity Chain Blade, space ripples fluttering as it swung, but internally arcs kept exploding.

"This trap-laden place doesn’t favor continued fighting." Lair’s expression was serious, releasing a torrent of energy to forcefully pull away.

Then, it sprayed ion streams from its legs, leaving a splendid trail heading straight for the spaceship.

Its target was Li Ming, not the opponent.

"Trying to escape with someone?" Beckett sneered inwardly, slower but unworried.

Boom!

A streak of black Flowing Light attacked diagonally, directly hitting Lair.

"Another one? Does Azure Dragon really have so many X Level Life Forms?"

Lair was shocked, barely turning its mechanical eye before the Flowing Light struck hard against its left shoulder.

The armor surface instantly dented, metal armor cracking like fragile glass, shards flying, each reflecting battlefield flames.

The left shoulder armor completely shattered, revealing the complex internal mechanical structure, the energy pipelines broken, blue Energy Liquid spurted out like blood.

The attacker shrouded in black fog was indistinct, but seemingly quite large.

"Lord, apologies." A spiritual fluctuation drifted forth.

"Two X Level Life Forms, quite the preparation."

Lair reluctantly responded.

One black, one red figure already blocked its front and rear escape.

"Better safe than sorry." Beckett’s spiritual fluctuation was rather calm, "If it was just one person, today would end disastrously."

"Hehe..." Lair smirked in silent anguish, "Are you mocking me?"

Beckett shook his head, "Rest assured, Lord, you won’t be in mortal danger; once the transaction completes, you’ll naturally return safely."

"I can return?" Lair was surprised; Ivan’s life was uncertain, never heard Azure Dragon mention any transaction?

"Of course, we’re just confirming some things; not truly wishing to fall out with Lord Azure Dragon." Beckett spoke matter-of-factly.

"Fall out with Azure Dragon..." Lair exclaimed, shocked: "You’re not Azure Dragon’s people?"

Right after speaking, its expression changed slightly, regretting deeply.

Beckett was momentarily bewildered, his crimson eyes suddenly tightened, "You’re not one of Azure Dragon’s people?"

Both sides fell silent, simultaneously sharing a thought.

This is pure absurdity.

Two ambushers collided, each assuming the other was protection.

"So, Azure Dragon didn’t send anyone to protect Li Ming?" Beckett couldn’t help but frown, "Overestimating Azure Dragon..."

As thoughts raced, his expression sharply changed, suddenly turning his head, nearby space had stacked with folds.

A purple gigantic hammer, carrying world-ending might, crashed down.

The surface of the hammerhead entwined with an ion storm, the strained space already under immense pressure, now completely overwhelmed.

The target was heading straight for the life form shrouded in black fog.

The attack was too abrupt; all three had just felt speechless from their misconception, almost too late to react.

Under horrifying majesty, the black fog dispersed, revealing a three-four-meter-tall giant, eyes filled with terror.

The giant hammer descended; its overwhelming impact instantly dented its back, muscles and bones fragile against such power like paper.

The horrendous force seemed to squeeze energy out from its cells, boiling energy fluctuations spreading like ripples endlessly.

Flesh rolled and blood splattered.

Oddly, despite the immense force, it didn’t fly away, instead sticking tightly to the hammerhead.

Its body contorted, ribs breaking out of its chest, spreading ghastly cracks across much of its limbs.

Beckett’s pupils contracted, fear gripping her heart; Rupert had stepped onto the Ultimate Path as an X Level Life Form.

Combat Level exceeds 400X, also the trump card for this assault.

Yet now, in a single strike, crushed to this extent?

Lair’s face underwent similar transformation; the combat system swiftly captured the hammer’s owner.

A giant Mechanical Body, nearly ten meters tall, even the three-four meter giant on the hammerhead, appeared exceedingly slender.

Although its form differed, it quickly confirmed, this was Azure Dragon!

"Azure Dragon, how could he follow?" Lair’s heart sank deep.

"Only this much?"

Some spiritual fluctuations spread, Li Ming watched the three before him, truly these three guys weren’t very skilled.

Ambushing was merely habitual; no one could match him directly, even combined wouldn’t suffice.

The strongest, undoubtedly the giant he wielded, just one strike.

This was holding back, wishing to absorb Genetic Essence; otherwise, one strike would kill outright.
