Dream Collaboration

"Roar!"

The wounded Mad Ape let out continuous, pained growls after being slashed by the laser sword.

It was practically a different beast from the high-spirited, arrogant "Monkey King" it had been before.

How should one put it?

Its tiny eyes were filled with enormous confusion.

It could not understand how the hunk of metal it had been beating up all this time could possess such power.

Mad Ape looked down at the crisscrossing, savage wound on its chest, which was still steadily seeping blue blood.

Its eyes turned toward the laser sword in Mount Tai's hand, displaying a distinctly human-like terror.

Yet it did not retreat. After hesitating for a moment, its eyes flared crimson again as it launched another attack at Mount Tai.

It was unclear whether the intense pain from its injuries had stirred its beastly nature or whether the ones behind it were controlling it.

In any case, it gave Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan little time to think.

Mad Ape's regenerative abilities truly were not as absurd as Bladehead's.

But the wound left on its chest earlier was slowly healing as well. At the very least, the bleeding had visibly decreased.

Moreover, it was like a berserker that knew only how to charge forward. The more damage it suffered, the more it was provoked, becoming even more fearless of death.

Opponents like this were extremely troublesome. At least in Xiao Shou's eyes, Mad Ape was far harder to deal with than Bladehead.

However, Mount Tai, wielding a divine weapon, was not afraid of this so-called suicidal behavior.

You were angry? As an invader, what right did you have to be angry?

You destroyed the entire Sky Breaker Squad.

You should be asking whether the 1.4 billion people of Nation Z were angry!

(Uh, I've been watching The Founding of a Party these past two days, so I got a little carried away. ^0^)

Mount Tai held the laser sword at the ready, gripping its hilt tightly with both hands and holding the blade upright before its chest.

Unexpectedly, Mad Ape was completely unmoved by this and still charged straight ahead.

Since you were so brave, then don't blame me for not playing fair. It wasn't like you were some sixty-nine-year-old comrade.

Mount Tai immediately switched the sword to its right hand and raised its left arm to meet Mad Ape's charge.

The sword was pointed straight ahead, yet Mad Ape acted as if it had not seen it. Not only did it not dodge, it lunged directly at the blade.

The laser sword plunged straight into Mad Ape's abdomen. This was no ordinary cold weapon.

Though its demon-blue glow made it look immensely sacred, it actually possessed a terrifying temperature of fifty-five million degrees!

A sharp, burnt stench immediately spread across the entire sea. The nearby evacuees covered their noses and mouths, suffering miserably.

Even Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan could clearly smell it in the cockpit, since the cockpit could not be completely sealed.

Naturally, Mad Ape was not having an easy time either. Blue blood flowed uncontrollably from its mouth, even dripping onto Mount Tai's mech armor.

Honestly, Mad Ape's bizarre maneuver left the two of them utterly baffled.

Wasn't this just takeout delivered right to their door? The kind you were forced to accept even if you did not want it.

All they had to do was exert a little force with the arm gripping the hilt, and they could easily dismember Mad Ape completely.

Although the laser sword's cutting power was inferior to the Mo Dao's, Mad Ape had delivered itself right to them. Its entire body had been pierced by the laser sword.

In fact, that was exactly what Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan intended to do. They controlled Mount Tai and tried to gut it on the spot.

But Mad Ape's thick arms clamped tightly around Mount Tai's right hand, preventing the hand holding the laser sword from making the slightest movement.

Even when Mount Tai repeatedly hammered its head with its left hand, it ignored the blows and refused to let go.

So that was its plan. It had deliberately delivered itself right to them in order to restrain the laser sword.

Seeing that this hunk of metal was tightly gripping the laser sword, Mad Ape hardened its heart, opened its blood-filled jaws, and bit down on Mount Tai's right arm—the one holding the laser sword.

It had to be said that the beast had actually found the critical weakness. The laser sword was generated by the electromagnetic stimulators in Mount Tai's hands and powered by its electromagnetic energy reserves.

Destroying the electromagnetic stimulators in its hands would halt the laser sword's output.

Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan panicked. But no matter how they attacked, they could not shake off Mad Ape's sticky, shameless fighting style.

Sparks soon began flashing from the hand as Mad Ape bit into it.

"Warning. Electromagnetic stimulator damaged. Operations will cease. Warning!"

Hearing the system alarm, Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan frowned deeply. This was going to be difficult.

Sure enough, the electromagnetic stimulator malfunction directly caused the laser sword to disappear.

Seeing that the weapon restraining it was gone, Mad Ape immediately became lively again. It tightly embraced the hunk of metal before it and hurled it toward the docks.

The malfunction in Mount Tai's right arm prevented it from effectively defending against Mad Ape's attack, leaving it no choice but to be thrown away.

As it was flung toward the docks, it rolled to control its direction and used a backward crouching skid to bleed off the force.

Mad Ape's strength truly deserved to be called immense. Mount Tai skidded backward across the docks for two or three hundred meters before barely coming to a stop.

A long trench was left behind from the shore to the docks.

Fortunately, the evacuees on the docks had already dispersed, so no one was injured by mistake.

"Warning. Weapon system malfunction detected. Automatic reboot initiated. Estimated recovery time: five minutes!"

Xiao Shou and Xie Yushan's hearts sank upon hearing the system alarm.

These five minutes would not be easy to drag out.

As they watched Mad Ape by the shore grow fiercer with every battle, just as the two prepared to fight to the death—

Xiao Shou saw a familiar sight.

Behind the proudly posturing Mad Ape, a massive mechanical arm appeared, its iron fist clenched tight.

"Boom!"

The iron fist struck Mad Ape, sending magnetic-field-like electric arcs pulsing through the air and violently blasting it away!

"Cherno Alpha, in position!"
