The scarab was not a living creature but a mechanical one, crafted by hollowing out the body of a scarab and filling it with gears and parts. It exuded mechanical and mysterious vibes, serving as one of the representative creations of the steampunk world.
As these mechanical scarabs emerged from Luoben's clothes, they immediately unfurled their wings. Then, with a constant whirring of gears, they flew directly towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye retreated, waving his hand in an attempt to shoo away the mechanical scarabs. However, as he swung his arm, one of the mechanical scarabs latched onto his arm. Immediately, a silver needle shot out from the scarab's tail, piercing Bai Ye's arm.
Bai Ye frowned, looking at his arm. After being pricked by the mechanical scarab, a small red dot appeared on his arm, and his skin felt a tingling sensation.
Meanwhile…
More mechanical scarabs swarmed towards Bai Ye. Bai Ye immediately raised Yong Zhen Nan Huang to sweep them away, shattering seven or eight mechanical scarabs. However, there were simply too many of them, and they could fly and crawl, approaching Bai Ye from all directions and positions.
Bai Ye shattered the mechanical scarabs in front of him, but two mechanical scarabs flew from behind and landed on his neck, their tails extending fine needles. Other scarabs rapidly crawled from the ground onto Bai Ye's calf, extending fine needles and piercing his calf.
At this moment, Luoben also got back on his feet and swung his broadsword towards Bai Ye.
Clang!
A crisp metallic sound rang out as the "San Chi Wu Di" effect of Yong Zhen Nan Huang activated, repelling Luoben. However, the guy was relentless, pouncing forward again the moment he was knocked back.
But this time, Bai Ye did not let Luoben get close.
Seven-Colored Sword Qi (Generating seven-colored sword Qi by channeling the seven swords, seven in each instance, with a 10-second interval between uses) 138 Reading Network.
A buzzing sound suddenly filled the air as the seven-colored flying swords vibrated in the air and then slashed downwards. Seven-colored sword Qi rained down from the sky.
Boom, boom, boom…
The sword Qi struck the ground, and continuous, deafening roars echoed. The surrounding ground instantly crumbled, sending countless fragments flying in all directions.
Luoben quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and the attack, then lifted his palm…
Two bronze spheres suddenly appeared, and Luoben tossed them into the air. As they tumbled in the air, a mechanical whirring sound emanated from within the two bronze spheres. The tops opened, and propellers popped out. With the propellers spinning, the two bronze spheres lifted into the air.
Helicopter Robot II.
As a chosen one of the steampunk world, Luoben was not skilled in swordsmanship or close combat. In other words, these were abilities Luoben had acquired after entering the world battlefield, as were his physical attribute enhancements. Upon first entering the world battlefield, Luoben's physical attribute stats were not much higher than Bai Ye's. This was because the chosen ones of the steampunk world were most proficient in… machinery!
The helicopter robots flew in the air, and then three hidden compartments sprang open, revealing three black cannon barrels, only as thick as a finger.
Luoben, seeing the seven-colored sword light approaching again, immediately shouted, "Artillery strike!"
Bang, bang, bang!
The sound of cannon fire erupted. The cannons of the two helicopter robots began to accumulate energy, and then beams of white light shot out, colliding with the seven-colored sword light.
Roars of explosions filled the air continuously, and shattered white energy halos drifted down, pure and flawless, like snow, looking incredibly beautiful.
Bai Ye was somewhat surprised, thinking, "Those two helicopter robots have some substance!" They were equipped with energy weapons from the future technology world. However, they were too small! The helicopter robots were inherently not large, and their cannon barrels were only as thick as a finger. Therefore, the energy beams they fired were only slightly more powerful than the beams from Bai Ye's pulse pistol, but their penetrating power was inferior. Thus, the two helicopter robots did not intend to directly confront the Seven-Colored Rainbow Flying Swords but rather to delay the attacks of the seven-colored rainbow, preventing the sword light from constantly attacking Luoben.
Luoben seized this opportunity to charge at Bai Ye again. He thrust his broadsword forward, assuming a lunging posture.
"Fang Tooth Thrust!"
Luoben charged forward rapidly, thrusting his broadsword straight ahead.
Clang!
Another crisp clash of weapons sounded, and Luoben's sword once again struck Yong Zhen Nan Huang.
Luoben sneered, looking at Bai Ye and saying, "Isn't that enough? Are you still going to hold on?"
Bai Ye looked at Luoben with a bewildered expression and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Heh, you think you can get away with it by pretending nothing's wrong?" Luoben said. "Don't you feel your limbs growing cold, and your body starting to move uncontrollably? Even though your brain reacts, your body can't keep up? That's because you've been hit by my neurotoxin!"
Bai Ye feigned a look of realization and said, "So the silver needles of those mechanical scarabs were poisonous."
Luoben laughed heartily, "Realizing it now, isn't it too late?"
Bai Ye fell silent for a moment, looking at Luoben and saying, "You seem to have misunderstood something."
Large patches of purple venom began to seep out of Bai Ye's pores, quickly covering his entire body. It even flowed down his body and onto the ground.
Hiss, hiss…
The floor immediately made a sizzling sound, showing signs of being burned.
Bai Ye said, "It seems poison doesn't affect me."
As he spoke, Bai Ye raised Yong Zhen Nan Huang and forcefully swept it forward.
With a clang, Yong Zhen Nan Huang struck Luoben's broadsword. The immense force, combined with the repelling effect of Yong Zhen Nan Huang's "San Chi Wu Di," sent Luoben flying again. He crashed directly into the office area, smashing into a desk and shattering it.
Bai Ye clenched his fists, cracking his knuckles, and then threw a punch.
"Let me teach you what real poison is!"
A large amount of venom splattered forward the moment Bai Ye threw his punch, quickly coalescing into form and transforming into a venomous dragon, flying towards Luoben with bared fangs and claws.
Seeing this, Luoben quickly rolled on the ground.
But…
The moment the venomous dragon hit the ground, its body shattered, and the venom splashed out. A large portion of the venom landed on Luoben's calf.
"Ah!"
Luoben's face instantly changed, and he let out a piercing scream. The intense pain contorted his entire face.
