Bai Ye snapped back to reality, having no choice but to follow Li Jia Yi in the opposite direction.
But…
Seeing Bai Ye and Li Jia Yi attempting to flee, the Mechanical Bull Demon King ignored his fight with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and turned towards Bai Ye and Li Jia Yi, raising his arm.
Bang, bang, bang…
After a few muffled thuds, metal rods were fired from the Mechanical Bull Demon King’s hand, landing around Bai Ye and Li Jia Yi.
“Ah…”
The next instant, Li Jia Yi leaped forward, attempting to weave through the gaps between the metal rods. However, a large wall of electricity suddenly appeared between the metal rods.
In that moment, Li Jia Yi felt as if he was about to ascend, his entire body tingling from the electric shock. After struggling free from the current, Li Jia Yi was completely blackened, his hair disheveled and standing on end.
“Electromagnetic Cage?”
Bai Ye glanced at the metal rods and then darted out from the electric wall.
Sorry, electricity doesn't work on me.
Li Jia Yi got up and pressed his palm forward, sending a large cloud of sand surging forward. However, upon contact with the electric current, it was instantly pulverized.
Li Jia Yi showed a hint of surprise, finding this thing quite formidable. He then looked at Bai Ye, who was already seven or eight meters ahead.
Li Jia Yi was almost in tears, lamenting, “Brother, can you show some loyalty?”
The Electromagnetic Cage was considered high-end equipment, not easily broken. Bai Ye could ignore it, but Li Jia Yi could not.
However, Bai Ye paid no mind to Li Jia Yi’s fate, believing that such a menace deserved to die.
But…
Seeing Bai Ye escape, the Mechanical Bull Demon King directly abandoned the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and pursued Bai Ye.
This completely bewildered Bai Ye.
Is it that serious?
I haven't had an affair with Princess Iron Fan, nor have I slept with the Jade-Faced Fox. Is it necessary for you, Old Bull, to chase me so relentlessly?
We have no enmity!
But the Mechanical Bull Demon King paid no heed. With a large stride, he reached Bai Ye and blocked his path.
Bai Ye quickly activated his electric field, intending to teleport, but the Mechanical Bull Demon King was faster. His left arm made a mechanical whirring sound, and an energy blade shot out, slashing forward and directly tearing open a piece of space.
A colossal black void rift suddenly appeared, filled with the void and chaos. The entire space was split in two. Bai Ye’s activated electric field was directly severed.
Bai Ye had no choice but to stop. However, the Mechanical Bull Demon King was also unable to attack Bai Ye.
This was because the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was displeased. He raised his Ruyi Jingu Bang and declared, “Halt! You dare to be distracted while fighting me? You must be tired of living.”
The Ruyi Jingu Bang moved, smashing down towards the Mechanical Bull Demon King, and then…
Clang!
The Ruyi Jingu Bang collided with the energy blade, resulting in a deafening roar.
Large swathes of energy halos scattered, followed by a violent collision that generated terrifying fluctuations pushing outwards.
Like a typhoon passing through, in an instant, a massive gust of wind blew outwards, causing cracks to appear on the surrounding buildings.
Bai Ye was blown away before he even had a chance to react, crashing heavily against the wall of a building on the side.
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven and the Mechanical Bull Demon King were locked in a struggle. Although there was a significant difference in their physique, the Mechanical Bull Demon King’s arm was clearly being pushed down, proving no match for the Great Sage.
However…
The Mechanical Bull Demon King’s left palm suddenly detached, revealing a flat, circular cut. It then aimed directly at the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
The next instant, white smoke erupted from the Mechanical Bull Demon King’s shoulder, and that arm shot out like a pile driver, striking the Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
With a boom, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven was sent flying, crashing into the wall on the side and creating a hole in it.
The Mechanical Bull Demon King showed no intention of pursuing further. Instead, it turned around and continued to advance towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye was speechless. That was the Great Sage Equal to Heaven! Should you not be having a proper duel, a clash of equals? Why are you fixated on me!
However, before the Mechanical Bull Demon King could get close to Bai Ye, a roar suddenly came from the house behind it.
A golden light pierced through the roof, and the Great Sage Equal to Heaven somersaulted back into the sky.
“Heaven-Splitting Staff.”
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven tossed the staff forward. The Ruyi Jingu Bang continuously grew larger, five meters, ten meters, twenty meters…
The colossal staff descended from the sky, smashing heavily onto the Mechanical Bull Demon King, causing its body to tilt and fall to one knee.
The ground, bearing the immense force, cracked inch by inch, revealing large, web-like fissures.
Without a word, Bai Ye quickly turned and fled.
Even an idiot could tell at this point that the Mechanical Bull Demon King was after Bai Ye.
Ignoring Li Jia Yi, ignoring the fight with the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, it insisted on chasing Bai Ye.
The Mechanical Bull Demon King looked in the direction Bai Ye was fleeing, seemingly wanting to push aside the Great Sage Equal to Heaven and continue its pursuit of Bai Ye. However, the Ruyi Jingu Bang was simply too heavy, firmly pinning the Mechanical Bull Demon King down.
As Bai Ye was about to escape the street corner, suddenly…
Crack, crack!
At the street corner stood a statue of the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. Countless cracks appeared on it, and it began to shatter, then…
With a boom!
Suddenly, with a loud noise, the statue exploded.
A monkey burst forth from the statue.
The monkey had a mechanical body resembling armor. Although its appearance was like armor, it could be seen through the gaps that the armor was actually connected to the body. No, to be precise, the armor was the body.
Simultaneously, it held a red and gold staff, and four small banners were inserted into its back. Each banner bore a single character, which, when combined, clearly read – Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
“Another one?”
Another identical Great Sage Equal to Heaven…
Alright, apart from the face, there were no other similarities. The previous robots had at least tried to conceal themselves, but this Mechanical Great Sage Equal to Heaven made no attempt to hide.
Except for the face, which was identical to the real Great Sage Equal to Heaven, the body was entirely mechanically manufactured, with a strong cyberpunk mechanical aesthetic.
As soon as the Mechanical Great Sage Equal to Heaven appeared, without a word, it directly struck the ground in front of Bai Ye with its staff, shattering a section of the ground. In the blink of an eye, sand and stones flew, and the ground cracked open.
“Hmm?” The Great Sage Equal to Heaven saw this and shouted, “Who is this imposter, daring to impersonate me?”
The Great Sage Equal to Heaven was clearly displeased by the appearance of another self. He retracted his Ruyi Jingu Bang and then somersaulted towards the Mechanical Great Sage Equal to Heaven.
