Chapter 985: Separation 1

Beast remained calm as he had anticipated an ambush.
“I’ll break them off. Everyone else retreats!”
He growled as multiple green flying snakes which spanned at least one meter long flew out from the side of his body and pounced directly towards the three figures.
“Retreat retreat retreat!!” Someone shouted as a group of men retreated as quickly as they could.
The leader of the three ambushers scoffed and she was surprisingly a girl. The whip that she held with just one of her hands expanded out of the blue and a faint hiss similar to a snake could be heard from the whip as it went towards green flying snakes in the air.
The flying snakes were strangled by the whip and with a gentle motion, they immediately turned into a puddle of blood on the ground. The blood instantly froze and would roll everywhere on the ground like a pebble.
“Energy Machinery Weapon!?” Beast’s expression turned gloomy. “It’s you! Yiling! Are you trying to stop me!!?”
“Stop you? There’s no need for that. I just need to stall you!” Yiling smirked as she immediately went after Beast. Suddenly, a bright golden light and white frozen air appeared around them causing a shockwave around the area which pushed everyone away.
Garen followed behind Joey as they chased after the remainders who were retreating. Before they started the ambushed, Yiling had already warned them that Beast and her were six of one and half a dozen of the other. She could only stall him and would depend on them to deal with the others.
Joey and Garen were ranked top twenty within the Scarlet Snow Sect. As one of the three major sects in the Northern Yu Province, the Scarlet Snow Sect was one of the strongest sects. To be able to rank in the top twenty in the province was considered an elite. Hence, it should be more than enough to massacre these Level Three and Level Four people.
As Garen rushed out, he saw Yiling and Beast fighting against each other from the edge of his vision. He shivered as he felt the residual force field as it was at least equivalent to the strength of the Grade Ten Cold Scarlet Snow. It could be even as powerful as Grade Eleven, which was equivalent to the peak of Level Five, closing to the strength of a Resonance. Furthermore, Yiling and Beast were just Scarlet Snow Sect’s Two Hearted Disciple Level. There were still stronger Energy Machinists from the Three Hearted Disciples. In comparison to a Pilot, the Energy Machinist was clearly much stronger.
Garen moved to the side as he evaded a black bear and two strange-looking blue flying fish that pounced towards him. He immediately rushed forward and crushed a Level Two Energy Machinist’s head as he grabbed onto his head from the side, while kicking two Energy Machinists head with both of his legs, killing them instantly. He then turned around as he attempted to grab hold of the horrified young woman’s back.
“Blink!” The woman took out a yellow flute and blew into it.
Beep… Among the deafening noise, Garen wasn’t able to grab her as the woman in front of him instantly leaped tens of meters away.
“These things again!” He recalled seeing such an escape item back when he was a Pilot in the Blackboard Region.
A blue electric arc then appeared behind him.
He grabbed onto it as it exploded into countless of blue sparks and disappeared.
“Let’s see what kind of escape items you can still use.”
The woman from the Dragon Eye Sect in front of him was a Level Four. Her Willpower was exposed the moment she used the flute. A level Four was definitely the grade of a Two Hearted Disciple, which possessed a hundred points. He could obtain resources from her body as well.
Garen put all of his strength onto his leg as he stomped onto the ground. His body turned into a shadow as he went after the girl who was tens of meters away from him. He had finally decided to use all of his strength to pursue this woman.
“Golden Swallow!”
The woman turned her head around and released a stream of golden light, which turned into a golden swallow heading directly towards Garen’s forehead. As the golden swallow moved towards Garen, the air around it started burning and the surrounding ambient temperature rose drastically to at least a few hundred degrees. The ground and the trees nearby were instantly burnt black.
“Ten Thousand True Technique,” Garen’s pupil shrunk as his body twisted in such an incredible manner that he avoided the Golden Swallow. He then released the chill from his body to cancel off the high temperature released from the Golden Swallow.
After activating the Ten Thousand True Technique, his motions were much agiler as his body turned into the shape of a shuttle, going after the girl at full speed.
“Go to hell!” The woman then threw a black marble, which exploded in the middle of the air. It turned into a black mist, which engulfed Garen who was behind her.
Then black mist immediately exploded as fire rumbled inside. Garen had to stop his pursue due to the explosion, which caused the distance between them to increase.
“What a wealthy fellow!” Garen sensed that this woman was not a typical Energy Machinist. She had so many life-saving items, which far surpassed a typical Level Four Energy Machinist. If not for his current strength which was in the Level Five range, she might have escaped away from his grasp.
“Don’t force me!” The woman turned his head around and shouted at Garen as she realized that Garen was very firm on killing her.
Garen’s expression didn’t change at all as he ran towards the woman. The Eighth Grade Level Four Cold Scarlet Snow Technique had reached its limit. The Scarlet Snow Technique would automatically reach a minimum of Grade Eight once one reached Level Four and its strength increased drastically.
Chills and snow went towards the girl in all direction but it was immediately melted by the high temperature.
“Double Golden Swallow!” The girl’s eyes suddenly brightened up and released two rays of golden light, which turned into two Golden Swallows in the middle of the air as they went after Garen. Two eye-catching golden threads could be seen in the path. It resembled a pair of golden scissors as it tried to cut Garen into half.
“If not for the people coming after me, do you really think I’m afraid of you!?” The woman smirked as she controlled the Golden Swallows towards Garen.
Garen was currently extremely poor. If he were able to kill such an extremely rich Level Four Energy Machinist, it was a win for him in terms of wealth and points. It was worth it even if he was slightly injured!
He pressed on as he felt the threat of the Golden Swallows.
“Cold Radiation!”
A blue radioactive ray immediately released to the surrounding from his body. The chill had reached Level Five as the radiation had mixed with the chill from the Scarlet Snow Technique.
The Level Five chill instantly overwhelmed the Golden Swallow’s scissors and drastically reduced their speed.
Garen took the opportunity to get out from her attacking range and attempted to catch the woman with his hands. The distance between them was no more than five meters.
This distance could be covered instantaneously to an Energy Machinist. All of the Energy Machinist from Planet Naga were all martial artists. As she saw Garen approach her, she was very surprised and she attacked Garen’s shoulders with her fingers without any hesitation. While her speed wasn’t that great, her attacking speed was incredibly fast as afterimages of her hands didn’t even form in the middle of the air. In that instant, her hands reached Garen’s arm and held tightly onto him.
“Ten Thousand True Destruction!” In that instant, Garen released the true strength of the Ten Thousand True technique. His strength and speed in changing his techniques were increased by half in an instant. The true threat of the Ten Thousand True Technique had finally surfaced, which was the ability to change his techniques consecutively.
The most terrifying aspect of the Ten Thousand True Technique was that one could simply change one’s technique’s direction and power in any situation without restraining himself.
After changing his techniques, Garen hit the woman’s abdomen while evading the girl’s attempt to grab onto him.
As the difference between their martial arts was too drastic, the woman wasn’t able to comprehend the situation. Her face immediately turned pale and she wasn’t able to react in time and had no choice but to receive the attack.
Boom!!!
The woman’s body jolted as chills started to spread out across her body.
“Xiao Yu!!” An angry man shouted from the side as Garen suddenly felt a high-temperature airstream approaching him from the left.
Garen was then engulfed inside a ball of red flame.
Garen and the woman were separated as both of them were injured at the same time.
While Garen was under attack, he looked at where the man’s sound came from. What he saw was a man drenched in blood staring back at him. He then carried the seriously wounded woman and escaped. It seemed that he had put all of his strength into that attack as he was barely able to hold the woman firmly.
Garen rolled on the ground and his powerful recovery was able to stabilize the wound. What made Garen terrifying was not his strength but his recovery. As long as he’s not dead, he could recovery and attack as many times as he wanted.
However, there seemed to be a hot invisible force that was holding him in place and it even tried to pull him onto the ground.
Garen looked down to see his legs being held tightly by two arms made from fire. The fires were clashing against the chills and radiation his body was releasing. He could feel throbbing pain in his legs due to the fire.
As he tried to break free from it, the energy field was loosened. Garen then tried to gather energy to pull himself out of the situation once more.
Boom!
The heat aura immediately entered Garen’s body, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood. His injury had worsened.
He was so close.
It was obvious that the Energy Machinists in front of him was not an ordinary Energy Machinists. If he were able to capture them, he would have obtained a huge sum of wealth, resources and even two hundred points. Garen wasn’t allowed to make any mistake as it was a very special opportunity for him to be able to kill these two. If it were a typical situation, these people would definitely have bodyguards around them and would not come out alone without any good reason.
Garen would rather not fight with these wealthy Energy Machinists if they were in their prime as they were so well prepared that they had a lot of items on them. Furthermore, they even had a huge load of combat experience.
This was especially true to that man, who was able to release an attack of such a caliber even in such a dire state. Garen wasn’t sure if he was able to win that woman in a one on one match if she was in her prime. He wouldn’t be able to have such a golden opportunity where they were seriously injured and running for their lives.
That man and woman were running towards a Flying Ship afar clumsily while Garen was chained down. He needed just a little bit more strength to break away from it.
“Hahaha. Let me give you a hand Garen!” Joey then flew over Garen’s head and rushed towards the two in front of him. Greed could be seen in his eyes. He had already given up with these two as they had a lot of items on them and he wasn’t confident that he could win. He didn’t expect Garen to chase after them and manage to even would chase them off while using up most of their items.
Now that Garen was chained down and the other two was seriously wounded. It was the best opportunity to strike. Even God would have been tempted given such circumstances.
“Joey!!” Garen shouted in anger. “They’re mine!”
“The early bird catches the worm!” Joey ran directly towards them as the chills of the Grade Five Scarlet Snow Technique followed along.
A clear crisp sound was heard as Garen broke away from the chain. He started growling as he ran straight towards them. However, it was too late as the distance between him and Joey were hundreds of meters apart. As an Energy Machinist, he would require at least two seconds to cover that distance. Afterall, maximum speed and acceleration were two different concepts.
