Chapter 334: 138. White Shark

[Fully Armed]

Youhe Lai lunged at Li Aozi in an instant, his body merging swiftly with the Blade Shark as it spun through the air, donning Armor. He then tackled Li Aozi to the ground.

Bang!

Youhe Lai’s formidable Strength pushed Li Aozi against a nearby rock wall, where the Pioneer’s robust Implant Gear sank deeply into the strata. Li Aozi lifted his head and saw Youhe Lai’s contorted face increasingly covered with pale Blade Armor—this time he saw it with utmost clarity, those supple and dense blades grew from beneath Youhe Lai’s skin, interwoven and constructed into the pale Knight Armor.

"—Huh?"

Li Aozi slightly shook his head, six compound eyes reflecting the figure of the White Knight:

"So, the so-called ’White Knight’ is just a monster, that’s all."

"Shut up! You’re nothing but a Mortal!"

Youhe Lai thrust his sword toward his neck:

"It’s over, mere mortal!"

"Indeed, a Mortal."

Li Aozi shook his head casually, letting the blade graze his neck. He raised his hand and, in one smooth motion, pushed against Youhe Lai’s abdomen:

"Standing before you is a Mortal who hasn’t even brought a weapon."

The palm immediately burst with fierce electrical sparks, and a high voltage current of three hundred thousand volts pierced the air, creating arcs of blue-purple light. Youhe Lai, electrocuted, immediately stiffened up as Li Aozi grabbed his head, his palms discharging simultaneously, heat swiftly coursing through his body, soon emitting a scent of roasted meat.

—Just as I thought.

The speculation in Li Aozi’s mind was confirmed.

This guy’s Armor had absolutely no defensive Effect at all, and his substance couldn’t possibly reach Gamma Rank.

Li Aozi let go, and Youhe Lai fell from the sky like a kite with its string cut. Li Aozi had no hopes of this fall killing the man.

After all, that would be letting him off too easy.

He leaped up, swiftly following the descent, landing gracefully the moment Youhe Lai struggled to his feet and poured an Ether Elixir into himself, no longer holding that scorn in his crimson, cross-shaped visor toward Li Aozi.

Li Aozi glanced around: "A valley, huh, perfect for a duel."

"It was just a sneak attack," Youhe Lai said, retrieving a cane made from Zonia’s spine from behind him: "It’s not over yet! Don’t think you’ve won."

"Oh, right, you’ve reminded me."

Multiple control panels reflected off Li Aozi’s retinas.

[Effort Amplifier]—Off

[Balanced Automatic Correction]—Off

[Biochemical Weapon Equipment]—Off

"There, I’ve now limited my body’s Attributes to Beta Rank; I’m not bullying you."

Li Aozi waved his arms:

"To be fair, I won’t use weapons either, Youhe Lai—Zhu Baiya, what are you standing there stunned for?"

[Overseer Form deactivated]

Flesh retracted and the dark red Crystallization dispersed, revealing the hideous monstrous appearance of the Pioneer’s Implant Gear.

But this wasn’t over yet.

Li Aozi reached out, stripping off the depleted uranium compound Armor plates from his body as well.

Since that guy could even cut through Mobile Armor, stacking plates was meaningless. It was better to go lighter and gain more opportunities for maneuver.

"You son of a—!"

Youhe Lai gritted his teeth as the Armor seams on his body split open, blood vessels within bursting in an instant, spreading a Silver Ether Blood Mist into the air:

"To think a defeated subordinate dares to be so Arrogant!"

[Soul of Bloodshed]

Youhe Lai’s body whipped up a storm of silver, carrying toxic blood that increased his speed by fivefold. In an instant, he was upon Li Aozi, with his longsword and left wrist tucked at his waist, concealed by the blood mist and utterly undetectable.

[Sharpen Teeth and Claws]

Schwing!

A single sharpening, and the blade’s sharpness immediately soared. As soon as the air came into contact with the sword edge, it was obediently sliced and cleaved apart.

Once the sharpening was complete, he followed it up with a step forward, smoothly transitioning into a coexist sword slash.

’You definitely won’t block this strike!’

Bang————

A massive collision sounded, oppressive strength weighing down upon the blade as if a mountain had descended. The sword, under tremendous pressure, couldn’t stop trembling back and forth, emitting a mysterious whine.

Humming...

It took a full half second for the dazed Youhe Lai, stupefied by the sonic waves, to realize what they were.

Sonic boom.

Li Aozi nonchalantly raised his fist in advance, using the back of his hand to parry the upward slash. Pure strength pierced the air, instantly creating a terrifying sonic boom and a scorching mist of vapor.

But before Youhe Lai could counter, Li Aozi had already begun his performance.

Bang!

Without hesitation, Li Aozi punched Youhe Lai in the chest. The White Knight’s figure faltered, Li Aozi immediately followed up with a step, twist of his waist, and threw a hook with his left hand, firmly smashing into Youhe Lai’s face.

Smack!

The blade-like armor immediately deformed, but more crucially, the blunt force trauma made White Knight feel like his brains were getting scrambled. He staggered and was about to steady himself when Li Aozi suddenly kicked him squarely in the abdomen, forcefully sending the White Knight flying five meters from where he stood.

Youhe Lai opened his mouth, spewing out saliva and stomach acid as he curled up in mid-air.

Only, Li Aozi didn’t plan to let him land smoothly.

Crack!

Li Aozi suddenly advanced a step. While Youhe Lai was still mid-air, in a falling motion, Li Aozi brought his arms together and suddenly smashed his elbows into Youhe Lai’s chest like a ram.

"Dismal."

Thud!

Youhe Lai’s body instantly sprawled limp, about to crash onto the ground with rigidity. Just before his head was about to hit the earth, Li Aozi suddenly punched the ground.

[Spontaneous Combustion]

Boom!

Fierce flames poured into the ground, and magma burst forth in an instant, propelling Youhe Lai’s body high into the air. Li Aozi fired off his neural tentacles, instantly flinging them out to bind and secure Youhe Lai in mid-air, and with a pull, brought both himself and his opponent together.

The reversed gravity allowed Li Aozi to float in mid-air for an extended time. Although Youhe Lai, a citizen of the Secret Society, was not subject to the control of Gravitational Arcane Energy—it didn’t mean he wasn’t affected by Earth’s core gravity.

Youhe Lai, plummeting down, was suddenly dragged towards Li Aozi, and as he just managed to raise his head, his face collided with Li Aozi’s raised knee.

Crack!

The crisp impact ignited the violent gene flowing within human DNA, prompting Li Aozi to reveal a gratified smile.

"Crazy!"

Li Aozi took advantage of the situation to reverse gravity, dragging Youhe Lai higher up in the air. He quickly adjusted his posture to throw Youhe Lai’s back towards himself.

The reversed gravity caused Li Aozi to fall towards the sky, while the unpressured Youhe Lai continued to fall towards the ground. Youhe Lai immediately realized that swinging his sword was now too late, so he directly took on a flying kick stance, aiming for the Li Aozi coming right at him.

Li Aozi, likewise, posed for a flying kick.

Bang!

Like two meteors colliding, the feet of the Pioneer and [White Knight] struck each other with the acceleration effect of gravity, a ’below to above’ kick in line with gravity, but the outcome was unexpected.
