Chapter 629: Chapter 625 Hei Ta

Thud——

Fang Xiaocao’s fist landed squarely on Number One’s face.

It produced a sound reminiscent of a giant bronze bell being struck.

Fang Xiaocao felt a burning pain in his fist, as if he had punched a solid iron slab.

Immediately, Fang Xiaocao’s face showed an expression of realization.

How could he have forgotten?

The thing before him wasn’t human at all.

It was a reinforced block of metal.

Using his fists to attack it was pure folly.

Thud——

Before Fang Xiaocao could pull back and distance himself from Number One,

he felt an intense pain in his abdomen.

Looking down, he saw the three alloy long needles from his alloy folding fan had already pierced his stomach.

Bright red blood trickled out through the grooves in the needles, cascading from his abdomen.

Fang Xiaocao knew his internal organs had been punctured.

If he didn’t receive emergency treatment, he’d be as good as dead.

But would Number One give him the chance to get treated?

Fang Xiaocao didn’t even need to ask; the answer was already clear in his heart.

Obviously not.

"Damn it, Taotie! I hate you to the core—"

Clutching his stomach, Fang Xiaocao collapsed to the ground. He could feel it.

His life was slipping away as quickly as his blood.

"Taotie, if you don’t show up soon, I’m done for—"

Fang Xiaocao’s vision started to blur, as though his consciousness was teetering on the edge of an abyss.

"Hey old man, put the weapon down, I’ll handle this!"

Just as Fang Xiaocao was about to black out, a familiar distant voice reached his ears, getting closer.

Hearing that unmistakable raspy voice, Fang Xiaocao knew Taotie had arrived.

The next second—

Fang Xiaocao’s vision went completely dark, his lips curling into a faint smile before losing consciousness.

"What the hell?"

"He’s not dead, is he?"

Looking at the unconscious Fang Xiaocao lying in a pool of blood,

Taotie let out a startled shout and checked his breathing.

Whew——

Confirming that Fang Xiaocao was still breathing and not completely gone, Taotie sighed in relief.

"Old man, you’re dead meat."

Taotie straightened up and glared at Number One, speaking coldly.

Number One tilted its head, sizing Taotie up and down. "You seem strong."

"I might not be able to defeat you."

"But you might not walk away unscathed either."

Hearing Number One’s words, Taotie smirked dismissively. "You tin can, think you can hurt me?"

"Let’s see how much your metal shell can take."

With just one look, Taotie figured out Number One wasn’t human but a bionic robot.

"Take Fang Xiaocao for emergency treatment."

Taotie shouted to those behind him.

Before finishing his words, he was already lunging at Number One.

At the same moment, a group of security guards rushed over,

quickly lifting Fang Xiaocao and sprinting away.

Clang——

The alloy dagger in Taotie’s hand clashed against the alloy folding fan.

Sparks erupted instantly from the collision.

Number One staggered, retreating several steps.

Taotie stood his ground, unmoving.

The first round went decisively to Taotie.

"You are indeed strong,"

Number One said, ejecting the steel needles from its alloy folding fan,

and flashed an exhilarated expression toward Taotie.

"Old man, your face is damn disgusting,"

Taotie said disdainfully, curling his lips.

The next second—

Taotie closed the gap again, pouncing toward Number One.

Number One wasn’t willing to back down either, charging at Taotie as well.

Clang, clang, clang——

Taotie and Number One clashed once more.

The battle was intense this time, appearing evenly matched.

The alloy dagger in Taotie’s hand plunged deep into Number One’s chest.

A burst of crackling electric arcs erupted from Number One’s chest, shocking Taotie into a brief spasm.

Suppressing the numbing sensation, Taotie quickly kicked Number One away.

"Damn, that nearly fried me,"

Taotie muttered, shaking his hand to recover from the electrical shock. He silently thanked his exceptional physical condition.

If it had been another top-tier master, Number One wouldn’t even need to use its full combat abilities.

The voltage from that electric current alone might have killed someone outright.

Number One touched its damaged chest and looked back at Taotie. "You’re even stronger than I thought."

"No shit, I already knew that,"

Taotie cursed, lunging at Number One again.

He was aware the hospital surely had more than one bionic robot like Number One.

He had to finish this fight quickly and eliminate Number One.

Otherwise, if all those bionic robots started moving,

forget protecting the little girl on the eighth floor; the whole hospital would turn into rubble.

If that happened, Fang Xiaocao would flay him alive.

"Wait a second?"

"Could Qi Yu have also sent bionic robots to assassinate the Princess Your Highness?"

For once, Taotie’s brain clicked, and he sensed trouble.

His Princess Your Highness might be in danger.

Not just her—his wife and kid could also be in danger.

These bionic robots certainly wouldn’t be targeting Fang Xiaocao alone.

The thought filled Taotie with urgency.

He had to end this fight fast; otherwise, he might not just lose his job,

he could end up losing his family too.

And possibly face the heartbreak of burying his own child.

"Die already!"

Taotie unleashed his full power without holding back.

His eyes turned crimson, veins bulging across his muscular body.

Like an enraged bull, he charged at Number One, the very source of his overtime agony.

Feeling Taotie grow exponentially stronger in an instant, Number One became vigilant,

but it didn’t retreat, swinging its alloy folding fan directly at Taotie.

Taotie sidestepped the fan, driving his alloy dagger into Number One’s neck.

This time, Taotie learned his lesson—after landing the hit, he immediately let go.

Seconds after Taotie released the dagger, arcs of electricity sparked from Number One’s neck.

Seizing the brief downtime as Number One temporarily froze from the neck injury,

Taotie grabbed the alloy folding fan tightly from Number One’s grip.

The next second—

Number One restored itself, noticing the folding fan was taken. It immediately pulled the dagger from its neck and gripped it in its hand,

aiming a quick stab toward Taotie’s kidney.

Taotie parried with the alloy folding fan, engaging Number One in another heated exchange.

——

Honghu Hospital, first floor!

While Number One and Taotie were locked in their ferocious battle, four other bionic robots had already begun to move.

Numbers Three and Five were creating chaos in the lobby, while Numbers Two and Four had taken the elevator upstairs.

Their target was the VIP ward on the eighth floor where the little girl was staying.

As the first-floor chaos erupted, Hei Ta, who was responsible for guarding the hospital, appeared on the scene.

Hei Ta immediately locked onto the bionic robots causing destruction left and right.

At that moment, one of the bionic robots was swinging its longsword, aiming for a little girl.

Witnessing this, Hei Ta frowned slightly.

With a single motion, Hei Ta hurled his heavy shield.

Bang——

With a thunderous crash, the bionic robot was sent flying.

The massive shield, ignoring the rules of physics, seamlessly returned to Hei Ta’s hand.

Hei Ta strode toward the bionic robot he had just knocked away with the shield.

At that moment, the bionic robot had just managed to get up from the ground.

Its appearance was ghastly, like an evil ghost that had crawled out from Hell.

Half of its face had been scraped off, revealing the marred metallic plating beneath.

Its arm, hit by the shield, had been reduced to scrap metal——
