Chapter 723 - Battling the Demonic Baby
Chapter 723: Battling the Demonic Baby
There were Return to Void Stage mighty figures stationed outside the green gate while a demonic baby and a silver Gundam stood on this side of the green gate. It was quite a predicament choosing to leave or stay.
However, the choice had been made for him when Bai Ling sacrificed something in order to save him.
An Lin could only destroy the demonic baby and the silver Gundam.
He was not an indecisive person. After analyzing the situation in the blink of an eye, he immediately flew toward the silver Gundam to destroy it while it was immobilized!
How was he going to destroy a Gundam?
Brute strength wasn’t going to cut it; its body was constructed from extremely strong alloys. Even if a Return to Void Stage mighty figure unleashed all their most powerful attacks upon it, it would still remain intact on the other side.
The best way to approach this was to disassemble it!
The Gundam had been immobilized, so now was the best time to disassemble it!
Thankfully, he had received the inheritance of mechanical engineering back at the Purple Star Research Institute. Otherwise, he wouldn’t even know where to start disassembling.
He unleashed a series of black sword projections from his Evil-Slaying Sword with his right hand as he carved out one complex formation after another on the Gundam’s body. After a burst of energy explosions, he managed to successfully extract the silver Gundam’s energy core.
An Lin refined it without hesitation before placing it into his storage ring.
The Gundam’s power core had previously belonged to someone else and had their presence attached to it, so he was unable to put it away into his storage ring. However, now that it had been refined, it was a simple task to put it into his storage ring.
After that, he also put the entire Gundam into his storage ring!
Thus, the silver Gundam had fallen!
“Master, what are you doing? We have to run!” Dong Guo came to his senses before running toward An Lin.
“F*ck off! Run and leave the damsel in distress to fend for herself? You deserved to be single for thousands of years!” An Lin roared with rage.
Dong Guo felt as if he had suddenly attained enlightenment upon hearing this. “Master, you’re right! I won’t back down ever again!”
Da Bai slapped a palm to his own face. An Lin was just saving a member of his own harem. What did it have to do with Dong Guo?
And he looked so excited as well… It was apparent now that his idiocy was the reason for his single status for the past few thousand years!
At this moment, the demonic baby who had been attacking Bai Ling’s defensive barrier suddenly calmed down.
Having regained control over its own emotions, it turned to An Lin and the others as a sinister smile reappeared on its face.
Bai Ling’s features had paled even further as blood dripped down from the corners of her lips.
She turned toward An Lin and the others with confusion in her eyes. “Why didn’t you run?”
“I can take care of this demonic baby with one punch, so why would I run?” An Lin twisted his neck from side to side as his aura soared along with his battle intent.
A dark wind swept toward them, and the demonic baby appeared right before An Lin in the blink of an eye.
An Lin’s heart jolted upon seeing this. It was no wonder he had fallen victim to a sneak attack before.
This demonic baby’s spatial skipping ability rivaled Tina’s!
Spatial skipping was different from normal spatial travel as it could only be mastered by a mighty figure with extreme proficiency in the art of spatial manipulation.
This was an extremely fast and useful ability to quickly travel through space. There was no need to tear open spatial rifts, thereby allowing one to instantaneously teleport over short distances. Enemies who could use this effectively would be a nightmare to face.
An Lin unleashed his Origin Energy of the Netherworld, and his aura instantly soared to close to the level of a Return to Void Stage cultivator. He then activated his Divine Inspection Technique, thereby allowing him to evade the demonic baby’s spear strike at the last second.
He took a step to the side as energy ripples burst forth, causing the space within a radius of over a hundred meters around him to collapse. The insignia of the golden lotus appeared on his forehead, and golden lightning enveloped his fist as he launched a punch imbued with the vast power of the earth straight toward the demonic baby’s head.
The demonic baby’s reaction time was nothing short of frightening as its hand, which was not holding his spear, balled up into a fist. A white halo revolved around the fist, and An Lin detected an extremely holy aura from that fist.
It was an extremely unsettling combination to detect the aura of an angel from such a ghastly looking demonic baby.
The two fists collided.
Boom!
An earth-shattering boom erupted as shockwaves swept through the air for several kilometers. The sea of green lava churned and the surrounding rock formations were pulverized, thus revealing the shiny, green metallic structure underneath.
An Lin was knocked flying through the air by the overwhelming force imbued in the demonic baby’s fists before crashing onto the green, metallic wall material. Upon the contact, he almost threw up a mouthful of blood.
So powerful!
He had unleashed his full power in that instant, but he was still knocked to the wall in one strike.
Bai Ling was unable to free herself, and her lips twitched upon shooting a glance at An Lin from the corner of her eye.
Take care of the demonic baby with one punch? Was An Lin supposed to be the demonic baby?
The demonic baby had also been knocked back a short distance, but it was in a much better condition than An Lin.
It was also during this moment that a dazzling sword projection swept through the air before striking toward the demonic baby’s heart.
Dong Guo once again picked the best opportunity to strike!
His sword strike was imbued with an extremely profound sword intent. It was as if it were threatening to part the heavens.
A disdainful expression appeared on the demonic baby’s face as a black halo suddenly appeared on the tip of his black spear. Immediately afterward, dark winds howled along with the anguished wails of countless dead souls as boundless darkness emanated from the spear before spreading through the air.
In that instant, Dong Guo felt as if he had seen the depths of hell. This was an aura that led one toward the dark abyss of depravity.
Whoosh!
The inky-black spear swept horizontally toward the sword projection as a black line, which threatened to slice apart heaven and earth, instantly pulverized Dong Guo’s sword projection, following which darkness descended to tear through Dong Guo’s Return to Void Stage body.
“Pfff…” Dong Guo’s body was almost sliced in half by this fearsome strike as he flew back in retreat with blood gushing forth from his mouth.
Dong Guo had picked the perfect opportunity to strike yet again, but he also failed yet again. Furthermore, he was placing himself at great risk this time as he would be well and truly screwed if the demonic baby decided to turn on him.
However, his attack wasn’t a pointless endeavor.
At the very least, he had bought valuable time for An Lin.
Did it take time to inject blood essence into the power core to establish a presence connection before reattaching the power core?
It did!
Was it time-consuming to reactivate the Gundam in order to have it up and running again?
Very much so!
Dong Guo had managed to stall for time to facilitate all these operations, so his sacrifice did have a purpose!
An Lin looked up at the demonic baby in the sky with a faint smile on his face. “Go, Gundam Three, kill that thing!”
A silver Gundam stood proudly beside him while radiating a fearsome aura that seemed to threaten to tear the heavens apart.
“As you wish, Master!”
As Gundam Three extended a hand, a particle sword materialized as it tore through the air toward the demonic baby.
“Wah, wah, wah?” The demonic baby tilted its head as a crimson light flashed before the black holes that it had for eyes.
Gundam Three swung its particle sword through the air, creating an impenetrable net of sword projections.
The demonic baby’s body flashed as it evaded Gundam Three’s attacks using an extremely twisted movement technique before appearing right above Gundam Three. A white halo appeared around its fist as a holy aura proliferated throughout the entire space around them.
The fist then descended!
Boom!
The space cracked open as heaven and earth trembled.
Gundam Three’s body appeared to have been completely flattened by the power from the demonic baby’s fists as it crashed straight into the metallic ground. Its body was embedded into the ground amid a massive crater in the shape of a fist!
What followed was a torrent of punches.
Boom boom boom…
Engine oil gushed from Gundam Three’s mouth as it received the beating of its life.
An Lin: “…”
