Chapter 1200: Behind the Scenes 2

Nine-Tailed Fox tried to withstand the intense pain, forcing herself to stay on her feet and face the robot. Beside her, Li Hua held up her gun, but her complexion was pale.
Her shooting skills were extremely formidable, but in comparison, the gun’s firepower was sorely lacking, and would not be able to penetrate the robot’s outer shell at all. Under these circumstances, she did not pose a threat. Right now, Nine-Tailed Fox was the only one holding up their side of the battle.
“White Crab again.” Nine-Tailed Fox glared at the white crab logo on the robot’s chest with a hint of anger. “Just who the heck are you guys!!? Why did you ambush us!”
The robot slowly stopped the spinning of the steel ball on its arm and cackled with a strange laughter.
“Against you? I’m just following orders, as to why we’re going against you, I don’t know either.
“With your wound as well as the intense corrosive poison, no matter how strong your physical fitness is, you will definitely fall unconscious and go into shock within ten minutes. I just have to wait to achieve an easy victory, why, I won’t need to waste any energy at all.” It spoke, word by word, demonstrating its obvious intellect.
“You’re shameless!!” Li Hua could not help but curse at it loudly.
“Shameless?” The robot laughed again. “Even if I didn’t ambush you, you still wouldn’t be able to leave this ship. My Speed is 1.4 times that of yours, Nine-Tailed Fox, and my Strength is 2.3 times of yours. Plus, I’m covered with the most recently developed corrosive poison, touch me and you’re instantly incapacitated. Do you two really think you can win? What a joke!”
“You’re not a robot!?” Nine-Tailed Fox was slightly surprised.
“Of course not!” replied the robot with a laugh. “I’m just remote controlling this robot’s body. Unfortunately for you two…” Before he could continue, his voice was abruptly cut off. He seemed to be listening to some other information.
“Hm? That idiot Begal is dead!?” he said, his voice shocked and confused, but it sounded more like he was talking to himself. “Looks like it’s about time I finished you guys off.”
The metal sphere in his arm started to turn again, spinning into an illusory wheel that wailed as it cut through the air.
“I’ve investigated your trump cards a long time ago, now die!”
He stomped down hard with one foot, and a part of the deck caved in with a rumbling noise as the entire robot shot toward the two women like a bolt of lightning.
“Retreat!” Nine-Tailed Fox whipped out her ribbon, her body spinning rapidly so that the countless white ribbons circled around her, forming a soft defensive wall. But at the same time, this further aggravated the wound on her waist, her blood slowly splattering everywhere. It dyed almost every part of the silk ribbons. The white mixed with red possessed its own bright beauty.
At the same time, Li Hua was swept by Nine-Tailed Fox’s ribbon and sent flying high up over the clouds, until she finally landed in the ocean beyond the deck.
To her surprise, there was someone steering a Speedboat and waiting at the spot on the sea where she was about to fall. It was a muscular man who opened his arms and caught Li Hua with all his might.
Bam!!
The two of them crashed into each other on the Speedboat, and the large man’s arm made a cracking sound. Still, his expression did not change at all, he just immediately turned around and started up the Speedboat, heading into the distance hastily.
“What about Nine-Tailed!?” said Li Hua urgently. It was not easy, but she finally managed to get on her feet and steady her footing on the Speedboat.
“Someone else will fetch the Boss!” replied the large man quickly. “Relax, right now we’re the ones holding her back!”
“Alright!” Li Hua calmed her heart.
Just then, there was a huge explosion from the cruise.
Boom!!
The deafening explosion spread to the Speedboat Li Hua was wondering, and the tremors made both their scalps go numb, their ears buzzing. Their vision was a blur, and they could barely see anything at all.
Amidst the flames, a slender figure leaped into the air and landed on another Speedboat not far away on the surface of the sea. That Speedboat just happened to be speeding toward the side of the cruise, and managed to catch Nine-Tailed.
“Go!” Nine-Tailed yelled loudly, her body all covered in blood.
The two Speedboats did not hesitate in the slightest, rushing toward the horizon at the same time.
On the deck, the steel sphere robot dashed out of the flames and saw the two Speedboats that had already gotten some distance away. He snorted coldly.
Suddenly he looked up at the direction the Speedboats had left in, and saw a giant white army ship headed toward him at a high speed.
“Vulture No.1, huh? Consider yourselves lucky!” He leaped straight into the ocean and soon disappeared into its depths.
Even though it was an ambush, but in truth both Nine-Tailed and the robot knew that even if it was not an ambush, even if they had gone face-to-face, Nine-Tailed would still be no match for the robot. After all, that would be pitting the human body against a cutting-edge peak-level product made entirely of technology. There was no competition at all.
And Nine-Tailed Fox’s true abilities were actually more along the lines of Vulture’s No.4 or No.5.
*******************
Bam!!
Countless bullets and guided missiles left long trails of white smoke behind as they shot toward Garen.
They were currently on another island, but the same scene was repeating here as well.
After the black driver landed here, Garen was once again surrounded. And this time, the enemy was even better prepared. Their firepower was a lot stronger than before, and this time, they even used electromagnetic bombs and poisonous gas grenades without hesitation. They had clearly prepared in advance for this.
Garen had the black man take Kong Xinxue away from here, while he stayed behind on his own to face down the White Crab Army members on this island.
He held in his hand a long military saber that he had picked up somewhere, and the soil under Garen’s feet exploded, again and again, the immense rebound force allowing him to quickly dodge the vast amounts of gunfire that kept raining down on him.
Whoosh!
There was a flash of blood. Even if the soldiers holding submachine guns were armed to teeth, Garen still flitted past them easily, penetrating their necks and killing them instantly.
Garen’s figure did not stop for even a moment. Compared to the previous conflict, this fight had stronger firepower, but he also had more experience now. As a result, he could deal with the attacks more freely, facing the continuous and widespread fire from more than two hundred enemy soldiers.
He ignored the bullets completely, swinging his military saber as he moved at high speeds. Most bullets could not even reach him, he could easily block stray bullets with one hand, and ricocheting bullets could not even break his skin.
As for explosive and missiles, he might take one blow occasionally, but aside from that there was no problem at all.
Amidst the forest of coconut trees, Garen wielded his military saber and flitted past like a ghost. Wherever he passed, the soldiers there would simply crumple to the ground.
“Retreat, retreat, retreat!!!”
Someone yelled, and the soldiers at the back instantly abandoned their comrades at the vanguard, retreating without hesitation.
A fighter jet dived down, emitting a sharp wail as it unleashed its guided missiles.
Boom boom boom…!!
Consecutive explosions and fires burst to life not far away from Garen, but it was as though he had predicted the missiles’ trajectories in advance each time, allowing him to dodge aside.
Suddenly, a guided missile came flying at him and actually made a turn in mid-air. Garen was originally sure that he had evaded it, and was taken slightly by surprise.
“Heat-seeking missiles?”
He kicked up a large patch of stones and soil, forming a black flying dart that preemptively hit the heat-seeking missile with extreme precision.
Barroom!!
This missile was exceptionally powerful.
An intense wave of heat and flames exploded in mid-air, the resulting tremor making all the nearby explosions feel small in comparison.
Garen raised his hand to block the incoming high temperature and heat wave, then he quickly changed his location. Hurriedly, he dashed forward.
These were the perks of being a small and fast target, plus his physical fitness was strong enough. Only direct hits would have any effect at all on him, so the legend of one man destroying one small-sized army was repeated again on this world as well.
Whoosh-whoosh!
There were two clear sounds, and a bunker that Garen flitted past instantly misfired. Garen had stabbed his saber straight through the embrasure, instantly and decisively killing the person inside.
He had immense strength and the shock techniques to match, so with an enclosed space like that, everyone inside was simply shocked to death, no exceptions.
More than ten bunkers and several tanks, Garen annihilated them all with his ghost-like attacks.
Finally, he picked up a submachine gun and opened fire loudly at the armored helicopters circling the airspace above him.
The bullets hit the bottom of the chopper, clanging as they went, and somehow hit some crucial spot, causing the entire helicopter to sway and circle. Soon enough, each of the helicopters crash-landed onto the ground.
There was yet another string of unending explosions, causing this relatively larger island to shake continuously.
If someone could look down on them from the sky, they would be able to see that on this B-shaped island, the white earth was all covered in flames, human remains, burning trees, corpses, and fresh blood.
And one person stood alone in the middle of all this.
That person was Garen.
His clothes had been destroyed a long time ago, and he was currently wearing a full suit of the White Army uniform that he had pulled off someone somewhere. The only difference was he had torn off the logo of the White Crab at the chest area.
Holding his military saber upside down, Garen glanced at the rapidly-retreating naval ship and felt extremely bored.
“That wasn’t a challenge at all, how uninteresting.”
“Then allow me to be your opponent!”
Garen turned around and saw a young blonde woman dressed in white skin-tight clothes. She had all the curves in all the right places, and the zip at her collar was pulled down, revealing her deep cleavage. The only pity was that her face was covered with a silver-white metal mask.
And just like the robot from before, this woman also emanated a faint hint of Soul Energy Aura.
“A higher-up from the White Crab Army?” Garen raised an eyebrow.
Clang!!
The woman appeared behind him as though he had teleported there, and stabbed a dagger mercilessly at his waist. Garen stopped her.
“You’re not very polite, are you?” Garen chuckled once, turning the military blade back around and stabbing it toward his right. At the same time, his other hand formed a blade, swinging in a circle before coming down on the woman’s shoulder.
Even if he rounded off his Strength stat right now, he could still easily hurt the enemy’s bones and grievously injure her.
That was the benefit of being strong enough, you just had to hit them once and things will be settled once and for all.
Contrary to Garen’s expectations, however, the woman was extremely fast. She leaped backward and did several nimble backflips, heading toward the distance.
“Tailwind.” Garen’s saber gave a small jolt, and he also vanished from the spot. When he next appeared, it was directly under the place where the woman had done her mid-air somersaults.
Their eyes met, one pair above and one below.
A hint of a smile appeared on the corners of Garen’s mouth. His blade sliced upward without hesitation!!
Psst…!
The woman was still flipping in mid-air, and it never occurred to her that Garen would be so much faster than her. Frantically, she activated her ability. Her body became instantly faster, and a faint wind began to encircle her.
The air current caused by the wind picking up seemed to block off any interference from Garen’s blade, and at the same time, the woman’s body turned. She was forcing herself to twist and turn in mid-air, and just barely managed to evade Garen’s attack.
“Are you challenging me at move transformations?” Garen instantly laughed, and the woman’s pupils dilated abruptly.
She actually saw the military saber coming straight at her head once more. Despair shone in her eyes, and she closed them abruptly.
Psst!!
Barroom!!!!
Yet another terrifying explosion.
Garen looked at the intense explosions about a dozen meters away, his heart still pounding. Thank goodness he retreated backward as soon as he stabbed her, because it seemed as though the people from the White Crab Army had a thing for self-destruction. He abandoned the military saber and took off in a run.
Thankfully he managed to evade it too, or else he would surely be injured again if he took that blow at such a short distance.
Even now, he had yet to completely heal from the light injury he sustained before, so he must not get injured again.
