Chapter 729: This Is My Time
Such a massive body was undoubtedly a Diamond Rank Spirit-Binding Beast!
Its elongated torso was covered in thick black carapace that emitted a faint black glow.
Countless millipede legs hooked onto the rock walls, producing a clanging sound.
Its face was utterly ferocious, with blood-red patterns resembling a young woman's face on the black armor of its forehead.
Its mouthparts were razor-sharp; just the sight of its hideous appearance made people's scalps tingle and a chill run down their spines.
Wang Ba roared, "It's a Diamond Rank Red Beauty Iron Armor Millipede! Scatter!"
But the millipede was already charging toward the mountain of corpses, its sharp mouthparts snapping at Ye Xinghe!
Ling Feng's eyes turned red as he lunged forward, grabbed Ye Xinghe by the collar, and threw him away!
He braced himself with his mechanical arm!
"Clang!"
Sparks flew from the mechanical arm, and the immense impact sent Ling Feng flying, crashing heavily into the stone wall!
Wang Ba also charged in, his iron fist hammering down on the millipede!
"Thud!"
One punch left half of Wang Ba's body numb. What kind of insane defense was this?
But now the millipede's legs stabbed at Wang Ba like countless spears!
His chest was torn to shreds, blood splattering everywhere!
Just then, Tao Xinyi leaped in, executing a spinning back kick that slammed into the side of the millipede's face, knocking it off balance!
Gong Lin seized the opportunity to grab Wang Ba and retreat, quickly feeding him a Small Ginseng. If they had waited any longer, he would have been minced to pieces!
The others took the chance to scramble off the corpse pile. Ling Feng stood up, wiped the blood from his mouth, and was about to charge again!
But his expression froze. His mechanical arm was smoking. He clenched his fist, and the forearm began to vibrate wildly!
Tao Xinyi blushed: "Pfft! Shameless~"
Gong Lin looked disgusted: "Hey! We're in a fight, major crisis! Can you be serious? Did you set the flight mode on your mechanical arm to auto-activate?"
Ling Feng: !!!
Who the hell set a timer? The millipede must have short-circuited it just now!
Now was not the time for flight mode to join the fun! We're in a fight here!
Ling Feng, with a dark face, frantically pressed the flight mode button, but it wouldn't stop!
In a rage, he tore off the mechanical arm, threw it on the ground, and stomped it to pieces.
Then they saw the millipede climbing onto the corpse pile, ignoring everyone, and starting to devour the giant lizard carcass!
Ling Feng's scalp tingled. Once it finished eating that, it would start eating them, wouldn't it?
This Diamond Rank millipede had high attack and thick health; it was practically a boss-level existence from the Abyss!
Qin Shou swallowed hard: "Teacher Qi Yu, what are you standing around for? Go! This centipede is nothing more than a single punch from you, right?"
"Now's the time to show your heroic spirit!"
Ling Feng and the others turned to Qi Yu in shock. Did this bald guy have some hidden ultimate technique?
Qi Yu's face fell: "You can just fuck off with that. If I go up there, I'm dead!"
"There's a big difference in one word, don't talk nonsense! I can't pull off this act!"
In the blink of an eye, the millipede had devoured the entire corpse pile, its aura growing even stronger. Its blood-red eyes locked onto Ling Feng and the others!
Wang Ba was bleeding profusely from every pore. He quickly shouted, "Boss Nan! Come back! This target is tough!"
At that moment, Jiangnan and Roberta, working together, had almost finished off the Spirit-Binding Beasts on the Fish Country side.
The cowardly Spirit-Binding Beasts had all gone after the E Country personnel, making Yuri and Yuke curse loudly.
The little rich heiress's crisis was temporarily resolved.
Jiangnan turned his head to look at the giant millipede, drool nearly spilling out!
As if discovering some rare treasure, he tilted his head back and swallowed Small Ginseng!
He yelled, "I'll take it on!"
Roberta wiped the blood from her sword and silently followed Jiangnan!
Jiangnan was startled: "You want to help too?"
Roberta said flatly, "Don't misunderstand. I'm just eliminating a threat on my own side."
Jiangnan grinned and tossed Roberta a Small Ginseng: "Heh, a hard-mouthed woman. I don't dislike that."
Roberta didn't refuse. She tilted her head and ate it.
But Adams said grimly, "Roberta, don't go!"
"That centipede is their problem. If you leave, who will ensure our safety here?"
Haidy said anxiously, "How can you be like this? Boss Nan just helped us too! We can't be ungrateful!"
Adams sneered, "He just said it was a transaction! We're still paying him, aren't we?"
Roberta lowered her head: "The centipede is very strong. If Jiangnan and the others fail, we'll become its food too. It's better to..."
Adams said angrily, "That's their problem! We can use this time to escape the cave and get out alive!"
"Only a fool would stay in a place like this any longer. Don't go! Are you going to disobey the orders of the Fish Country royal family too?"
"You're just a maid! I am the Holy Son, and I tell you to do—"
Before he could finish, Jiangnan's expression had turned ice-cold!
He raised his halberd, charged to Adams, and kicked him in the chest, sending him flying like a cannonball!
Adams slammed into the rock wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood!
[Rancor Value from Adams +1000!]
His eyes were filled with fury. Before he could speak, Jiangnan had already drawn the Blood-Drinking Blade and plunged it into Adams's shoulder!
Pinning him to the wall amidst his pig-like screams, Jiangnan pressed the Blood-Drinking Halberd against Adams's neck!
"You piece of trash! Is this how you treat Roberta, who risks her life to protect you? Don't you know what gratitude means?"
"Is all the kindness others show you just taken for granted?"
Adams's face twisted: "Dare you touch me? You'll regret this. I..."
Before he could finish, Jiangnan twisted the Blood-Drinking Blade, making Adams unable to speak from the pain!
"Get the situation straight! In this Spirit-Binding Field, killing a waste like you takes me less than half a second!"
"Every beat of your heart right now is because of my mercy!"
"Say one more word, and you die!"
Adams's face was pale. He saw undisguised killing intent in Jiangnan's eyes.
His body trembled uncontrollably, and he didn't dare say a word.
Just then, Roberta's steel sword gently rested on Jiangnan's shoulder.
"If you kill him, I'll have to kill you."
Jiangnan smiled lightly: "I'm speaking up for you here, you know? Is this how you thank me?"
Roberta lowered her head, her expression dim: "I'm just fulfilling my mission."
"My family has served the Fish Country royal family for generations."
Jiangnan pulled out the Blood-Drinking Blade and sheathed it back into the halberd: "Right now, I don't have the mood to deal with this piece of garbage."
"But you'd better pray he doesn't cross me. Anywhere."
Adams collapsed weakly, his gaze toward Jiangnan filled with resentment, his rancor value maxed out!
But he didn't dare say a single word, afraid Jiangnan would cut him down.
At this moment, Wang Ba lay on the ground, spitting blood: "Boss Nan! Stop flirting with the maid over there!"
"If you don't come help soon, there won't be any turtles left in the jar!"
Jiangnan grinned: "Watch me show it up."
With that, he leaped high, swinging the Blood-Drinking Halberd down at the millipede!
Ling Feng and the others' eyes lit up with anticipation. Finally, here it comes!
The millipede seemed to sense the threat from Jiangnan. It raised half its body upright!
Using over a dozen legs to block, it deflected Jiangnan's Blood-Drinking Halberd!
Then its massive tail whipped out, slamming Jiangnan heavily into the ground, creating a human-shaped crater!
The air fell into absolute silence...
Ling Feng and Wang Ba: (≖_≖)
Give us back our anticipation!
Is this the legendary "cool for less than three seconds"?
Roberta also charged in with her steel sword, standing still as she swung the blade into a blur, wind blades shooting everywhere!
She stood her ground, hacking at the giant centipede!
But the millipede had nothing if not legs. Dozens of legs moved in concert, blocking all of Roberta's slashes!
Sparks flew in the air!
At the same time, the Dali Legion was also frantically attacking the millipede. But with so many legs, most attacks were blocked!
Damage to the black carapace was barely absorbed!
Just then, a hand covered in white smoke grabbed the edge of the crater!
A hoarse voice echoed through the cave!
"Blood Incineration: Emperor Engine! 100%! Activate!"
"Boom!"
Thick high-temperature steam erupted from every pore of Jiangnan's body!
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
His blood boiled, and his heartbeat echoed like a ten-thousand-rev engine, making everyone's hearts feel uncomfortable!
Slowly rising, Jiangnan's eyes were bloodshot, his muscles striated, and his skin a deep red!
His veins bulged like writhing dragons. The corner of Jiangnan's mouth curled up!
"For the next three minutes, this is my time!"
The moment he spoke, he had already vanished from the spot!
At the same time, the millipede let out a screech!
A bloody gash had been torn open in its abdomen by Jiangnan's Blood-Drinking Halberd!
No matter how high its black carapace defense was, under absolute power, it was forcefully breached!
Wang Ba's eyes bulged: "Holy shit? Teleportation? Can Boss Nan use his ability inside the Spirit-Binding Field?"
Ling Feng said in shock, "No... that's not teleportation. It's speed beyond the human eye's tracking limit!"
"With this metabolic rate? Sigh~ Brother Jiang is starting to burn his life!"
