Chapter 2036 If We Go, Let“s Go Together!
“He!” Xiahou Wuxin bellowed. All the tiny flying swords that Wei Xiaotian had attacked him with just now were captured by the force field generated from his bone spurs and his muscles. Swinging his arm that was as thick as his waist, they formed iron torrents while he laughed. “Wei Xiaotian, I did not lie to you. I truly hid a lot of state-of-the-art test subjects for myself, and I learned a myriad of complicated arts from them! In front of Manjusaka, although I am just an insignificant old dog, whoever wants to claim my life must prepare to pay a terrible price!”
“Leader Xiahou has truly put a lot of thought into getting your disciple out of here.” Wei Xiaotian wiped his nonexistent tears and put on an even more scornful look. “It is a shame that your disciple does not seem to appreciate it very much!”
Right next to Wei Xiaotian, Xin Xiaoqi was still locked onto by three gray Exos. Holding her daggers and crouching, she was like a female leopard that was baring the tusks in the middle of grasses.
Xiahou Wuxin’s expression changed greatly as he froze on the spot.
He had taken everything into his calculations, including Wei Xiaotian’s reactions, the position and speed of the gray Exos, the possible weaknesses and the remedies, the hidden force that he had imposed on his disciple, and the distance that she would possibly be pushed out.
When he stalled the scumbags with his life, she probably could have escaped, unless…
“Why didn’t you run away?” Xiahou Wuxin stared at Xin Xiaoqi in a daze. His hideous face that was almost like an animal emitted lackluster brilliance. “You could’ve left. Why did you come back?”
“If we go, let’s go together!” Xin Xiaoqi’s eyes were bloodshot, hot tears rolling inside them. “In the past twenty years, you have always been like this. You told me to do something, and you simply kicked me away. But that is not what is going to happen this time. I will not be kicked away anymore. I will stay and fight by your side and break out of Liberty City together with you!”
Xiahou Wuxin was completely dazed. Something that had been sealed for decades, and perhaps even longer, was gradually waking behind his hideous eyes.
“Tut tut tut. I didn’t know that such a touching master-disciple relationship could be nurtured in the murky, bloody Land of Sins,” Wei Xiaotian remarked in mixed feelings. “It is a pity that our battle is not suitable to be material of the slaughter streams. Otherwise, a lot of viewers would certainly be attracted to it. Chances are that it would even be one of the ten most popular videos today!”
Xiahou Wuxin ignored Wei Xiaotian’s mockery. Hot tears mixed with streaks of blood flowed out of the crimson eyes. His dry lips trembled for a long time, but he did not know what to say and simply mumbled repetitively, “Too silly. Xiaoqi, you are too silly!”
“I’ve always been silly, or I wouldn’t have been fooled by you for twenty years.”
Biting her lips, Xin Xiaoqi held back her tears and said, “There are a lot of things between you and me that are yet to be settled. I will not let you die here at the hands of those scumbags. Even if you must die, you must die by my hand, master!”
“…Okay.” Xiahou Wuxin seemed to have been injected with infinite energy by Xin Xiaoqi’s words. Although his body size did not expand, the brilliance beaming out of his crimson eyes dazzled all the gray Exos. “If we go, we go together. Today, you and I will fight side by side and kill all the emotionless, inhumane scumbags and march out of Liberty City openly!”
“Copy that!” Xin Xiaoqi’s tears finally flooded out beyond her control, but a smile gradually appeared on her face. She laughed hard and said, “Master, by the way, you look so handsome right now and truly like a great hero. If my mother was still alive, she certainly would be attracted to you!”
“Is that so?” Xiahou Wuxin smiled. The bones all over his body suddenly uttered spluttering noises. He seemed to have constricted into an enormous iron ball in the moment and a spring that had been compressed to the minimum when he suddenly attacked Wei Xiaotian in the sky. “What you said makes everything worthwhile!”
Boom!
Xiahou Wuxin and Wei Xiaotian punched each other head on. The steel storm on his arm was all blown at Wei Xiaotian.
Despite the protection of the crystal suit of the highest level, Wei Xiaotian was still blown almost five meters away by Xiahou Wuxin’s violent and unstoppable strength. The arm and the shoulder blade of the crystal suit exploded in cracking noises, with white smoke popping up!
There was no real change of feelings on Wei Xiaotian’s face. The moment he was blown back, he took out a glamourous gun where thousands of runes were glittering from his waist. After dazzling transformations, it was attached to his entire left arm, and dazzling blue light spurted out of the barrel that was larger than a fist.
The blue light dispersed into almost twenty streams in midair, which were connected to each other in the tiniest threads of light. Interconnected, they covered Xiahou Wuxin overwhelmingly like a huge web.
In the meantime, the other dozen gray Exos took action. Knowing that Xiahou Wuxin had fully activated his techniques and was now at the most unstoppable moment, they did not fight Xiahou Wuxin directly but simply wandered and harassed him from nearby, restraining Xiahou Wuxin within the range of the cover of the blue web.
Pushing Wei Xiaotian who was in a crystal suit three steps away with a fleshly body, Xiahou Wuxin had done his best, to the point that his entire right arm was showing signs of fractures. Because of the harassment of the other Exos, he could not catch his breath anymore and was slowed down, only to be covered by the blue web immediately.
Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi! Zi!
The blue web, like a demon beast with life, tightened Xiahou Wuxin’s muscular and magnificent body hard, cutting wounds that were similar to the lips of babies on his iron-like muscles.
Several blue streaks were even crawling deep into his veins like vipers and eelworms.
“Argh!”
Unable to move anymore, Xiahou Wuxin roared in agony like a dam that was about to be broken by a flood. He exerted his strength without considering anything else and was about to tear the blue web apart!
Without even blinking, Wei Xiaotian fell to one knee. With his right arm as the gun carriage, the firearm on his left arm transformed again. Hundreds of runes revolved rapidly together, and it shot out a second cluster of light that was red!
The second light was not directly aimed at Xiahou Wuxin but above his head. After it exploded abruptly, an invisible mountain seemed to have collapsed brutally, pressing Xiahou Wuxin together with the earth within ten meters from him down!
The magical equipment that looked like a firearm was countless times more advanced than the normal bolters and Vulcan machine guns. But it was not exactly a gun but an ‘array activator’. What the other guns shot out were bullets, but what this particular gun shot out was many enormous arrays!
The arrays that were activated by Wei Xiaotian boasted the ability to change the gravity and the air pressure freely, placing the target under super high pressure as if it were thousands of meters below the ocean and crushing their internal organs!
“Argh!”
Hardly had Xiahou Wuxin got rid of the influence of the first array of blue light when he was suppressed by an invisible mountain again. His knees hit the ground heavily, and his blood spurted out like a volcanic eruption.
Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!
Faced with a monster like Xiahou Wuxin who was a combination of cunningness and brutality, even an expert Immortal Cultivator like Wei Xiaotian did not dare act carelessly. He simply kept on pulling the trigger to build up the pressure of the array.
Xiahou Wuxin tried to stand up again and again, only to be pressed to the ground by the suppression again and again. His knees were almost shattered, leaving two blood red marks on the hard ground!
“Master!” Xin Xiaoqi shrieked and waved her daggers, trying to save him. However, she was too weak and no better than Han Te and Liu Li in the eyes of real experts.
She was no match for the gray Exos that Wei Xiaotian had brought with him, much less Wei Xiaotian himself.
Pu!
She was knocked to the ground by the gray Exos for the fifth time. Vomiting a mouthful of blood, she was unable to get to her feet anymore, and the propulsion magical equipment on her hands and feet became heavy shackles after they ran out of crystals.
Wei Xiaotian did not bother to look at Xin Xiaoqi at all. After throwing more than ten great arrays on Xiahou Wuxin’s head in a row, and when the ground near Xiahou Wuxin was pressed more than one meter deep, he finally switched the ‘array activator’ to the third mode. Dangerous orange brilliance beamed out of the barrel of the gun when it was locked onto Xiahou Wuxin’s abdomen.
The Immortal Cultivator shook his head softly and sighed. “Why bother? Did it help at all?”
Xiahou Wuxin was bleeding profusely. His skin was broken, and his fractured bones jabbed out of his mangled flesh. He looked a million times more miserable than when he pretended to be wounded by the Fist King.
He was still trying to resist the pressure from the sky again and again, even if it meant that his bones were shattered one after another. Hearing Wei Xiaotian’s confusion, he glanced at the opponent with his swollen eyes and said in a miserable smile, “It did not help, but it had to be done anyway.”
“Why?” Wei Xiaotian asked. “You know that it is a dead end. Then, why did you struggle so hard before your death and reduce yourself to such a despicable state?”
“The reason is simple. It’s because…”
Xiahou Wuxin took a deep, deep breath. Under the eyes of the surprised Wei Xiaotian, Xin Xiaoqi, and all the other gray Exos, he suddenly released spiritual energy a hundred times more powerful than before, and he truly got back on his feet again against the suppression of more than ten gravity-twisting and pressing-enhancing rune arrays.
“I am a man, not a dog!”
At the same time, chaotic explosions and gunshots echoed around them. A bunch of messy, loud, and impatient mobsters and unorganized bandits rushed over like a flood.
“Xiahou Wuxin is right there!”
“I’m told that he has secretly hidden dozens of secret treasuries and anything can be found inside. Let’s capture him for interrogation!”
“Hahaha. Xiahou Wuxin is now heavily wounded and on the run. He does not have any combat ability at all! Whoever catches Xiahou Wuxin will become rich immediately!”
