Seeing the Skeleton King fall, the previously aggressive momentum halted, disbelief clear in the onlookers' eyes.

"Damn it, despicable." The Mechanic cursed angrily.

"When your people die, you get angry. Have you ever thought about how those you've killed feel? He who kills will be killed in turn." Lin Hai crushed the Skeleton King's skull underfoot, battle of life and death, there's no place for pity, especially when the other party is a man who's done many evil deeds.

Crack—

The Mechanic's entire metallic structure underwent transformations, reassembling rapidly, and the sound of metal grinding rang out suddenly. In a blink, he had become a mechanical monster, an amalgamation of killing tools, with arms and legs reconfigured into various parts, the only human part left was his head, centered on the torso, eyes brimming with a murderous aura.

"Let me show you my ultimate state. Your death is certain. No Supreme Strong below the middle-tier has ever defeated me," the Mechanic's cold, electronic voice transmitted.

"Tsk, tsk, someone who doesn't know any better might think we're shooting 'Transformers 5 – Rise from the Ruins' here." Lin Hai clicked his tongue; the Mechanic had fully transformed into a monster with various killing weapons integrated into his body.

"Die." Suddenly, the Mechanic ejected a jet of air from below, attacking Lin Hai in mid-air.

Lin Hai immediately countered with his Dragon Tooth dagger, alertness raised to its peak.

Bang—

Clang—

Sparks flew. Lin Hai's Dragon Tooth dagger was made from a special metal synthesized using high-tech and meteorites by the state's scientific research department during his time in the army, it was incredibly tough.

The Dragon Tooth was unscathed, not even a nick, whereas the serrated scythe on the Mechanic's arm developed a small chip.

"What kind of dagger is this? It's even tougher and sharper than the special metal on my body." The Mechanic asked in surprise, his eyes couldn't hide the irrepressible greed and zeal as he looked at the Dragon Tooth.

His obsession with metal was no less than his obsession with killing and experimental transformations.

"It's the dagger that will take your life." Lin Hai huffed coldly, even thinking about coveting his Dragon Tooth dagger?

"You should know, Gang Qi is useless against me. Without the effects of Gang Qi, can a Supreme Strong defeat metal?" The Mechanic's voice carried strong self-confidence, unaware of how many experts had been killed by him after their Gang Qi became ineffective.

The two clashed again in battle.

As Lin Hai defended against the opponent with his Dragon Tooth among the shower of sparks, his fist pounded on the Mechanic's shiny metal surface. The Gang Qi burst forth, indeed having no effect on his metal shell, at most it only caused superficial vibrations.

"Humph, didn't I tell you? Gang Qi has no effect on me." A sneer flickered in the Mechanic's eyes, certain he could easily kill Lin Hai once his Gang Qi was depleted.

"Really? Be careful not to sprain your tongue with your big talk." Lin Hai continued to parry the Mechanic's frenzied onslaught of various weapons with one hand while relentlessly pounding his metal body with his fists, creating resonant clangs, but not a single superficial scratch.

Within a minute, they had exchanged blows thousands of times. Lin Hai exerted all his strength, necessarily so, as a fight between Supreme Strongs could be fatal with the slightest mistake.

"Your Gang Qi is almost depleted, right?" The Mechanic, seeing Lin Hai sweat, spoke with a sneer, looking forward to the end of the battle when Gang Qi was completely used up.

The corner of Lin Hai's mouth curved slightly. He had landed thousands of blows on the Mechanic until now; although there was no external damage, what about the inside?

For these Supreme Strong, Judge had already collected various data and even conducted years of careful analysis.

Such as exploiting the Skeleton King's simple-mindedness to effortlessly defeat him.

For example, the chemical poisonous gases and toxins of the Desperate Poison Master are formidable, but if the Supreme Strong's Gang Qi vibrates, it can easily dissipate the poisonous gas with swift speed, rendering the poison's attack negligible.

Or take this Mechanic before us, Judge's analysis is that beneath the metal shell, it is absolutely impossible to still be a metallic structure, much like how human muscles at their ultimate strength can block bullets, but their internal organs remain fragile.

Regarding this, Judge once analyzed and believed that to quickly defeat the Mechanic, the only way seemed to be constantly using amplified strength from the Gang Qi to pound his shell, eventually causing cracks on the inside, followed by using liquid infiltration to destroy the core power source within the Mechanic's body.

"You are about to be finished," the Mechanic pressed on towards Lin Hai.

"Is that so? Haha, the outcome of who wins and who loses is still unclear," Lin Hai replied, his eyes squinting as he threw the corpse of the Skeleton King on the ground at the Mechanic just as he was about to reach him.

The metal sickle swung furiously, instantly slashing the Skeleton King's body into pieces, with copious amounts of blood spraying all over the Mechanic's shell.

"Hmph, the human body is too fragile. Only through constant modifications, using met... al... al... ugh..." The Mechanic's voice trailed off, his eyes revealing a shocked expression.

"You've been too careless," Lin Hai said with a faint smile, the results of Judge's analysis turned out to be effective.

"My core power source, you... damn it... how did you know my weak..." The Mechanic's words came to an abrupt halt as he fell to the ground with a loud clang, his eyes dimming down, and cracking noises began emanating from within.

Lin Hai immediately backed away.

With a loud bang—

The Mechanic exploded violently, turning into countless fragments.

"Tsk tsk, metal? I always believed that the emergence of Gang Qi is the choice that leads people on to a stronger path," Lin Hai shook his head and turned to chase in the direction of Ouyang Xiaoya, for there was another Desperate Poison Master to deal with.

...

Deep in the jungle, Wang Dajun was sweating profusely as he set Ouyang Xiaoya down on a rock, panting heavily, "CEO, let's take a breath. We've come such a distance; surely those people have given up chasing us."

The tears at the corner of Ouyang Xiaoya's eyes had dried, and she stayed silent, her beautiful eyes looking back at the way they had come, her inner turmoil and guilt reaching its peak as she silently prayed to the heavens: "Please protect Lin Hai from harm."

"CEO, stop thinking about it. After we return, I will burn paper offerings for him during the holidays," Wang Dajun comforted her.

"Hehe, this time next year, it will be your death anniversary."

A cold voice sounded from mid-air.

Wang Dajun's face turned pale as he saw a person in black clothing leaping towards them.

"CEO, run! I will hold him off," Wang Dajun rushed towards the adversary after speaking.

The Desperate Poison Master didn't even glance at Wang Dajun, casually kicking out.

With a thud, Wang Dajun screamed miserably in the air as he was kicked away, crashing hard into the bushes far away, his fate unknown.

"No!" Ouyang Xiaoya cried out in alarm.

"Hehe, turns out it's a beauty, perfect to feed my little Snakes," the Desperate Poison Master sneered as several Desert Poison Snakes flew out of his hands, heading straight for Ouyang Xiaoya.
