Chapter 392: Chapter 367: One Less Old Enemy

Who would believe this?

Tang Yao panicked, “He really is, I even have his poster in my room.”

As long as they were handsome, Tang Yao collected them all.

Tang Tianxiang said, “Could you have seen it wrong?”

Tang Yao replied, “Absolutely not, these eyes of mine never mistake a male god.”

Li Cunxu saw the battlefield gradually stabilizing and shifted his attention to the conversation between the grandparent and grandchild.

“I am indeed Li Cunxu, she did not mistake me.”

Tang Tianxiang was astonished, astonishing talent, from Golden Beastmaster to fighting a King in seven years.

“I told you I wouldn’t mistake it,” Tang Yao said proudly, hands on her hips.

Li Cunxu changed the tone of his words to cold and chilling.

“Young lady, do you know that sometimes knowing too much is not a good thing? Originally, I intended to let you go, but now that you’ve recognized me, I can’t let you stay.”

Tang Yao turned terribly pale, scared.

Tang Tianxiang laughed embarrassedly, patting Tang Yao’s shoulder.

“Silly child, our benefactor is joking with you.”

“Who is joking with you? You should know the consequences of killing the apprentice of the Mechanical Emperor, so you should know why I would silence you.”

Tang Yao stuttered, “Kill… kill… killed the apprentice of the Mechanical Emperor.”

Tang Tianxiang and Tang Yao found it unbelievable.

They were people of Mechanical City, and the Mechanical Emperor of Shengzao Mechanism City was like a god in their eyes.

Tang Tianxiang forced a smile, “Benefactor, you really know how to joke.”

Lei Xieming, who was fighting fiercely with the Flame White Horse, gradually fell behind because the Destiny Spider Poison continued to grow inside him.

Lei Xieming glanced at his pet, the Mechanical Thunder Dragon, which had activated the Beastmaster talent [Body of the Thunder God] shared from him, but it still couldn’t overwhelmingly defeat the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon.

“A King can’t even win against an Overlord, useless. If I had known, I would have raised a few more mechanical pets.”

Lei Xieming had a picky habit with pets; they had to be good, or he’d rather leave a contract spot empty than contract. Therefore, over the years, he only raised one Mechanical Thunder Dragon.

The Flame White Horse said, “You are also a King, you can’t beat me either?”

“Shut up.”

Lei Xieming said angrily, a hint of malice flashing in his eyes towards Li Cunxu.

“You forced me into this.”

In the next instant, he suddenly pulled out a distress signal gun.

This place was neither too close nor too far from Mechanical City, but if he fired the distress flare, his senior brothers would definitely come quickly to rescue him.

However, this act would also make him lose face in front of them.

A King Beastmaster forced to call for help against an Overlord Beastmaster, extremely embarrassing, would be ridiculed for a lifetime.

Lei Xieming harbored deep resentment.

“When my senior brothers arrive, I will make sure they tear him to pieces.”

He didn’t know that Li Cunxu was already prepared for this move, using his spiritual power to snatch away the distress signal gun.

Seeing Li Cunxu snatch the distress signal gun, Tang Tianxiang confirmed that Li Cunxu truly intended to kill Lei Xieming.

Then the earlier words about silencing them must be true.

Tang Tianxiang’s face turned as pale as Tang Yao’s.

Seeing this, Li Cunxu smiled and said, “Old man, don’t be afraid, I was joking. Regardless of whether you recognized me or not, I wouldn’t silence you. If I truly wanted to silence you, why wouldn’t I wait for Lei Xieming to kill you before acting?

However, saving you aside, I don’t want any loopholes that could leave clues for the Mechanical Emperor to know I killed his apprentice, so after this matter, please disappear for a while under my arrangement.”

“Alright, no problem, we will follow the benefactor’s arrangement.”

Tang Tianxiang quickly agreed.

Having his distress signal gun taken, Lei Xieming understood that Li Cunxu was determined to kill him, and suddenly, he panicked.

Lei Xieming made a vicious remark.

“Leave immediately, and I will not hold this against you, otherwise, I will use the life-saving strike my master the Mechanical Emperor left for me to blast you to bits.”

He had heard everything Tang Yao just said.

Lei Xieming thought, “Golden tournament champion, Li Cunxu, right? Just wait, after this is over, I will definitely ask my senior brothers to take you down.”

Li Cunxu was unfazed by Lei Xieming’s words, as if he hadn’t heard about the life-saving strike from the Mechanical Emperor.

Li Cunxu had a good understanding of Lei Xieming; back then, when many players were hunting Lei Xieming in the game, Li Cunxu was also involved.

The Mechanical Emperor indeed left Lei Xieming a life-saving strike, but contrary to Lei Xieming’s words, that strike couldn’t be activated actively, it would only trigger when Lei Xieming’s life was at stake.

The Mechanical Emperor knew Lei Xieming’s unreliable character well; if he left a strike that could be activated actively, it would certainly cause big trouble. Therefore, the life-saving strike could only trigger when his life was critically endangered.

A life-saving strike that could only be triggered passively and not actively was easy to handle.

Li Cunxu merely needed to control Lei Xieming, have someone else beat him to the brink of death, and let someone else trigger the Mechanical Emperor’s life-saving strike.

Coincidentally, Li Cunxu had a suitable choice for the trigger.

Superbly suitable and could cause the Mechanical Emperor to misjudge.

But before that, the Mechanical Thunder Dragon needed to be dealt with first.

“Xiaoruan, annihilation explosions.”

Xiaoruan fired ten annihilation blasts filled with destructive aura. In that moment, Li Cunxu retracted the Blood Lotus Flame Flood Dragon entangled with the Mechanical Thunder Dragon back into the Beast Taming Space.

The Mechanical Thunder Dragon attempted to dodge, but with its mechanical gear malfunctioning, it could only run using its four mechanical dragon claws.

It failed to dodge.

The annihilation blasts fell, and the earth-shattering shockwave spread through the forest.

Trees close by were shattered to pieces by the shock, while those a bit further were pushed down like dominoes by the shockwave.

Ten annihilation blasts, and ten mushroom clouds rose up.

A mountain was gone, leaving a pit hundreds of meters wide.

The Mechanical Thunder Dragon, dead.

Its mechanical components were taken by Li Cunxu for melting and casting into Mechanical Wall Bricks.

The Mechanical Thunder Dragon’s death triggered the backlash of the contract, causing Lei Xieming to faint instantly.

The death of a King-level pet, the contract backlash was a hundred times more intense than that from an Overlord pet’s death.

Li Cunxu used the Secret Realm Key to send the unconscious Lei Xieming to the Time City Monster, then immediately exited the secret realm.

The Time City Monster’s heavy fist smashed into Lei Xieming, triggering the life-saving strike.

An image of the Mechanical Emperor appeared on Lei Xieming’s body.

When the Mechanical Emperor’s phantom merely extended a finger to point at the Time City Monster, all its metal rusted and decayed at a rapid pace, turning into scattered ashes.

The Mechanical Emperor’s phantom disappeared, but before disappearing, following a pre-set command, it sent the scene of the Time City Monster’s appearance into the void, transmitting it to the true body of the Mechanical Emperor.

When the Mechanical Emperor received the image, he immediately recognized it as his disciple Zhong Monarch’s Time City Monster.

Ten seconds later, the life card showing Lei Xieming’s survival status shattered.

The reason being, the Time City Monster resurrected ten seconds later and smashed Lei Xieming again; this time, without the life-saving strike, Lei Xieming died at the hands of the Time City Monster.

“Lei Xieming is dead, and Zhong Monarch’s pet appeared at the scene? Does that mean Zhong Monarch did not die and has begun to exact revenge on me? But if it were really him, why wouldn’t he report me to the Alliance?” The Mechanical Emperor wondered.
