777: Chapter 26: Who Says You Can’t Stab Someone to Death without a Gun Head?

Boom!

The 80mm cannon fired at the Cyclops Giant, causing its body to skew and allowing the gruff Mountain Tribes Chieftain, Tiechen, just enough time to escape to the side.

However, other than that, the shot didn’t achieve much: The Cyclops Giant was already a heavy Armor Suit type and was further augmented by the Stone Skin Potion—unless hit by an Alchemical Cannon, ordinary gunpowder weapons struggled to cause damage.

Just as the Cyclops Giant was preparing to continue its pursuit, three mud giants began to tremble.

The mud on the ground surged wildly, and then it climbed up their bodies, forming sets of ferocious Armored Clothing.

‘Enhanced Mudstone Colossus’—using a large amount of Origin Quality to drastically increase the power of the mud colossi for a short time, these colossi in a deadlocked battle state obtained defense and strength comparable to heavy Armor Suits.

This was why Second Tier Powerhouses were said to be a match for several Armor Suits—they indeed had the strength to eliminate an entire Armored Squad on their own.

The three mud colossi clad in armor formed a perfect encirclement.

They silently pounced forward, attacking simultaneously from three directions, forcing the Cyclops Giant which had intended to chase down Tiechen to turn around and face them head-on.

But Ian didn’t panic in the least.

He calmly controlled the Armor Suit to raise both hands, blocking the colossi’s fierce charges from the left and right sides.

And his shoulder-mounted main cannon was aimed at the third colossus charging towards him.

—What was he trying to do?

For a moment, even Tiechen, who had already escaped to the side and was hastily consuming potions to treat his injuries, Zhenzhou, who was ready to use long-range cannons to assist his own colossi’s attack, and Sheyan, who was skirting around ready to seize the opportunity to bind Ian, were all stunned.

They all knew that the Cyclops Giant’s shoulder-mounted main cannon was a beam weapon—a brand new weapon system.

The emissary from Fiery Flame Land had told them that, if they got the chance, they must bring back the remains of the Cyclops Giant: They would pay a heavy price for it.

Such a weapon had incredibly terrifying power; Martin Xuānfēng was killed by a single shot, even Armor Suits couldn’t withstand it.

But now, in the middle of a downpour, it was the worst possible time for beam weapons to perform… What was Ian planning to do?

Was he really intending to forcefully use the main cannon while the power was attenuated by the rain and mist?

The answer was no.

The Armor Suit’s shoulder-mounted main cannon was very long, as straight as a gun barrel—and Ian was using it as a spear!

Hum!

Along with a jab and a thrust from the main cannon, a strange noise burst through the air as if it had been drilled through by a drill!

The mud colossus that faced the main cannon was immediately hit by the cannon barrel, piercing its head!

“What the hell?!”

Sheyan let out a vulgar Mountain People slang in astonishment as he watched this scene—honestly, even the most imaginative Armor Suit pilot couldn’t have imagined such a thing… Someone was actually using the shoulder-mounted main cannon as a spear?

And piercing through a mud colossus?!

What a joke, it’s a cannon, without even a spearhead, no?

—But who said you can’t kill with a blunt rod?

Things had progressed to this stage, and to say that Ian hadn’t used the power of the Rock Cast Knight was impossible—he had used the strength of the Silver Scale Armor to reinforce the Cyclops Giant’s cannon barrel to do such a world-shockingly outrageous deed.

However, the Cyclops Giant was now unable to move—it’s arms were holding back two mud colossi, and the cannon barrel pierced through another, effectively pinning the entire Armor Suit in place.

—This was the only chance.

Boom!

The ground suddenly trembled as a slim Armor Suit, with continuously rotating excavation blades all around it, broke through the muddy surface.

Its right arm was a drill and the left arm was a clamp, obviously converted from a construction Armor Suit.

It was the covertly lurking Serpent Rock Armor.

Without a moment’s hesitation, while the Cyclops Giant was unable to move, it used the ‘Iron Rock Snake’s’ ultimate move ‘Iron Tail Drill’ to power up its own Armor Suit’s arm like a tail, intending to completely penetrate Ian’s cockpit.

But Ian wasn’t foolish—he ejected!

The white shadow popped out with a loud bang, leaping high from the Cyclops Giant Armor, drawing the attention of everyone present.

Meanwhile, the Serpent Rock Armor’s drill right hand had already pierced through the cockpit of the Cyclops Giant.

The white shadow staggered in mid-air, seemingly running low on Origin Quality.

He blew a shrill whistle, and the nearby Magnetic Storm Armor Squad that was entangled with the Mountain Troops immediately began to retreat, using the chaos and heavy rain as cover to retreat back into the jungle.

Immediately after, the white shadow flew at the fastest speed towards the north side of Leyan City.

Everyone understood one thing, even the least bright among the Mountain People.

—Ian was defeated!

His Armor Suit was destroyed!

—He was fleeing!

“Chase!”

Sheyan pulled his drill right hand out of the Cyclops Giant’s chest, becoming anxious in an instant—the Mountain Troops had suffered too severe losses, and it might take a while to regroup and launch an attack on Leyan City.

And Ian’s overly powerful Armor Suit, which had finally been severely damaged by them, what if that wealthy young man returned to the city and jumped into another spare machine?

This was not wild speculation.

Fiery Flame Land had provided them with intelligence; most of these Mountain People leaders knew that Ian was backed by the Ellen Family and even the shadows of the Second Prince and the Firestone Group!

None of these people lacked money; it wasn’t impossible for the white-haired young man to have two Armor Suits!
