Chapter 402 the Final Slaughter

The moment Luo Jun was trapped, the armor that had lured him in disintegrated and vanished.

This was a complete trap... Luo Jun stood at the bottom of the Metal Sphere, which was about five meters in diameter and had a smooth inner wall. His feet slipped on it without him even realizing it.

Luo Jun found his balance, bent down, and raised his fist to punch the Shielding Alloy beneath his feet.

Bang!

A clear fist mark appeared on the metal, but judging from the feedback sound and the feel, the thickness of this metal wall was extraordinary. From the inside, it was only five meters in diameter, but from the outside, it was probably a large iron ball with a diameter of at least ten meters.

Why would there be such a place inside the colossus? Was it just a makeshift structure to trap me? That seems unlikely...

Luo Jun was unaware that this iron sphere was actually the colossus's escape device. In Chu Yunwei's plan, the three-headed, six-armed golem was his ultimate Ultimate Move, though normally it was only about thirty meters tall, and he controlled it from inside his body. If it encountered an enemy it couldn't defeat, its main body would hide inside this Metal Sphere made of Vital Energy Shielding Alloy and shoot out of its body, acting as an Escape Pod.

Normally, this Escape Pod has an inner diameter of just over two meters and a thickness of less than one meter, which is sturdy enough to deal with ordinary enemies. This time, with its enhanced capabilities and enlarged golem size, the Escape Pod has also been enlarged, especially with its walls greatly reinforced.

However, the goal was no longer to escape, but to trap Luo Jun!

It won't take long. As long as we can keep him trapped for ten minutes or so and get through this round, everything will be fine!

Luo Jun checked the time. Given the thickness of this massive iron ball, breaking through it in a short time was already difficult enough, let alone the fact that the opponent could replenish and repair it at any time...

However, Luo Jun has no intention of giving up!

He took a deep breath, gathered all his strength, concentrated his qi into Protective Qi Drill, and stabbed it into a single point!

As the drill bit rotated, the Vital Energy Shielding Alloy burst into dazzling sparks. With previous experience, Luo Jun increased the power this time, making the drilling more efficient and quickly reaching a depth of more than a meter!

However, Luo Jun soon noticed a noticeable stickiness. This was clearly not a characteristic of the material itself, but rather Chu Yunwei's effort to repair it, constantly generating new Shielding Alloy to counteract Luo Jun's damage, resulting in a stalemate between the two.

As expected, they are doing everything they can to prevent me from getting out... Luo Jun was not discouraged by the stagnation in progress, but instead increased his energy output and continued drilling!

Although the Protective Qi Drill is extremely efficient, due to the property of the Vital Energy Shielding Alloy, Luo Jun often has to consume ten or even a hundred breaths of Qi to drill through the alloy formed by one Breath Vital Energy.

Even with such a high energy consumption ratio, Luo Jun didn't care at all. He stubbornly held the drill, thinking, "Trying to outlast me? Let's see who can outlast whom!"

Time ticked by, and soon the stalemate had lasted for more than ten minutes, with less than five minutes remaining until the end of this round.

That's about enough...

After unleashing his full power, Luo Jun felt that he had consumed more than half of his vital energy, losing at least 300,000 breaths. This meant his opponent must have also expended several thousand to tens of thousands of breaths to contend with him...

Just as Luo Jun was calculating, the surrounding scenery suddenly flickered, and the resistance of the Protective Qi Drill under his hand eased. Then, the surrounding Metal Sphere, along with other objects constructed of Yuan Qi, began to dissipate.

Losing his support, Luo Jun's body began to fall freely. Only then did he realize that he was hundreds of meters in the air. By calculation, the Metal Sphere should be located around the lower abdomen of the giant Dantian.

Looking up, he saw three figures falling freely with him. Two of them were projections of Li Xiuzhen and Luo Jun, and the other one was Chu Yunwei!

Moreover, judging from the way Chu Yunwei's limbs were swinging back and forth as he fell, he had clearly lost control of his body; even if he wasn't dead, he had lost consciousness...

In the air, Li Xiuzhen summoned another drone, carrying Luo Jun's projection. It accelerated down to catch Luo Jun's real body, then landed back on the ground to check on the fallen Chu Yunwei.

The man was already dead, with a bloody hole in his chest, clearly killed instantly by a single blow.

Luo Jun looked at his projector. "Did you do this?"

The projection nodded, and Luo Jun smiled with satisfaction, "As expected of me!" He frantically drilled holes inside the Escape Pod, not only to get out, but also to deplete Chu Yunwei's energy.

Maintaining such a massive golem would undoubtedly consume a tremendous amount of vital energy. His restraint on this side would inevitably cause Chu Yunwei to neglect control over other parts of the golem, especially since there were still three projections outside. In particular, Luo Jun's own projection, although its energy and Root Bone had been greatly weakened, still retained its Body Tempering Art level and Peak Level melee combat ability.

If such an entity were to sneak inside the colossus, find its true form, and unleash its assassination abilities, even if Chu Yunwei were enhanced to the Peak, he would absolutely be unable to withstand it!

Of course, Luo Jun didn't know if his projection would succeed. Trapped, he could only try to deplete the opponent's energy and pin his hopes on it. Fortunately, the projection did not disappoint him.

At this moment, Chu Yunwei's corpse changed, quickly transforming into the likeness of Zhuge Lang. Then, his body began to disintegrate and eventually turned to dust...

Looking at the time, there were still a little over three minutes left. They had successfully eliminated seven opponents.

But it's not over yet.

Luo Jun turned to look at his projection and ordered, "Let's begin."

Inside the station in Second Stone Bridge Town.

The two Polluter stared at the map on the wall, their eyes wide with shock.

"The Last One Green Dot... disappeared too?" A young man wearing goggles looked shocked. "Doesn't that mean Zhuge Lang couldn't hold on either?"

"And of the three Green Dot on the other side, only one has disappeared..." The other person, a very burly woman with an eyepatch over one eye, exuding a fierce aura, asked, "Just who did they send?"

"So now only the two of us are left alive?" The goggles-wearing youth asked with a worried expression. "Doesn't that mean we've already lost?"

"Not yet..." The one-eyed woman shook her head. "You forgot, two of those seven people were under protection. Counting the two of us, there are still four survivors!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a spatial disturbance suddenly occurred below the map, followed by the opening of a circular Space Gate from which a masked man stepped out.

"What's going on?" The two, caught off guard, froze on the spot. The man didn't give them any time to react; he launched an attack as soon as he appeared, with astonishing speed!

Brush!

The young man wearing goggles felt a gust of wind, turned his head and saw that the one-eyed woman next to him had been split vertically in two!

How could this be...? Shouldn't this place be absolutely safe...?

In shock, the goggles-wearing youth instinctively tried to turn and run, but as soon as he moved his neck, he felt a dizzying sensation before his eyes, and then with a thud, his head hit the ground. Looking back, he saw his headless corpse still standing there...

I'm dead... Who is he?

The young man in goggles seemed to realize something. With his last breath, he glanced at the markings on the map. Map two still showed two Green Dot; nothing was missing...

So where did this guy come from?
