The Prison Warden

Seeing this, Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei immediately rushed towards the fugitives.

"Brothers, I'm here to help you!"

As he ran, he shouted in a mechanical voice at the Guardian Machine Puppet.

Upon hearing Bai Qiuran's voice, the fugitives were startled and quickly turned to look, only to see some of their companions following behind the two Guardian Machine Puppet.

The two Guardian Machine Puppet chose to ignore the fugitives behind them.

"For the Machine God!"

As Bai Qiuran ran, he pulled out the Runes Flying Axe that was attached to the waist of his machine, gripped the handle, and threw it at the fugitives.

"Die, you faithless one!"

Within the Artificial Purple Mansion inside the body, the Nascent Soul emitted light, and boundless True Essence surged into the body's arms, transforming into a tremendous force that was transmitted to the Runes Flying Axe. The Runes on the flying axe lit up, and the constantly spinning axe flew towards the fugitives like a storm.

Bai Qiuran aimed at the White Werewolf that had been trapped in the body of a degenerated beast for decades and was the first to run out. When it saw the flying axe coming towards it, the Werewolves was also startled and quickly raised its Two-Handed Runes Great Axe while hiding its head under the axe handle.

Bai Qiuran's Runes Flying Axe struck the blade of his axe with a clang, then changed direction and flew towards the Guardian Machine Puppet at the Yuanhe-Tu-Shu location with undiminished momentum, detaching the Runes Arm Cannon from a Ranged-Type Guardian Machine Puppet with a snap.

Bang!

"..."

With a loud crash, the most powerful weapon component of the Guardian Machine Puppet fell to the ground. The Guardian Machine Puppet stared silently at their reinforcements, while the fugitives stared silently at the enemy opposite them. The atmosphere became extremely awkward for a moment.

"Cough cough."

Bai Qiuran and said seriously, "I made a mistake."

Get out of the way!

Tang Ruowei, who had caught up from behind, shoved him aside and then raised the Runes Cannon on her mecha's hand towards the group of fugitives.

Layers of Runes formed a radiant ring that encircled the muzzle of the Runes Cannon. A powerful, scorching ray of light erupted from the Runes Cannon on her arm and shot towards the group of fugitives.

Tang Ruowei's target was still the White Werewolf among the group of fugitives. The white Werewolves, seeing the ray coming towards it, somehow, inexplicably raised its two-handed Runes axe and slashed down at the ray along a strange trajectory.

Buzz!

Weapons of the same tier clashed together. The Runes Cannon's beam was split in two by the Runes Two-Handed Axe, then slid out from the Werewolves's left and right sides, passing over the fugitives behind him and shooting towards the Guardian Machine Puppet behind the fugitives.

The two Guardian Machine Puppet were unable to dodge in time and were directly hit in the Spiritual Platform by the two rays. The rays of the Runes Cannon melted a huge wound in their chests, and the metal turned into molten Molten Iron, which flowed down. The Souls inside the Spiritual Platform were directly annihilated by the two rays.

"The pot calling the kettle black!" (This proves the pot calling the kettle black.)

Bai Qiuran shoved away the body controlled by Tang Ruowei and pulled out the double-handed axe from his back.

"Watch me--"

"Etc!"

The Prison Warden of Shenlada No. 1 Prison, the most senior Guardian Machine Puppet, quickly spoke up to stop them, "Number 103, Number One-Zero-Four, I order you not to fire at any point more than ten meters from the enemy!"

"I understand, Prison Warden!"

Bai Qiuran, wielding Runes Axe in both hands, roared as he charged towards the fugitives. The thrusters on his back emitted several beams of light, propelling him rapidly into attack range.

"Ten meters have been reached!"

Bai Qiuran roared and raised his axe.

"Die, Prisoners!"

He hurled his main weapon with all his might, but the Prisoners he was targeting merely dodged slightly to the side, and his axe grazed past the Prisoners, cleaving the Prison Warden's Machine Puppet in two from head to Spiritual Platform.

Even as it faced its impending death, the Guardian Machine Puppet stationed at Shenlada No. 1 Prison hadn't yet reacted. It stared blankly at the Two-Handed Runes Great Axe embedded in its chest, its eyes flashing briefly before dimming.

Clang!

The Prison Warden's huge, heavy body collapsed.

"Warden--"

Tang Ruowei stretched out a hand towards the Prison Warden, then angrily rebuked Bai Qiuran, "Look what you've done! You traitor! Today I will avenge the Prison Warden!"

"Wait—Number One-Zero-Four, we've been teammates since the Production Sequence, what are you trying to do?!"

"Shut up! Today, our friendship is over!"

While angrily rebuking Bai Qiuran, Tang Ruowei raised the Runes Cannon.

"Maximum firepower! Energy Rain!"

In that instant, Tang Ruowei's Artificial Purple Mansion operated wildly, and True Essence exceeding its maximum capacity flowed from her body to her right arm. On the main cannon barrel of the Runes Cannon on her right arm, countless tiny firing ports unfolded, shimmering with brilliant light, and countless energy beams transformed into a torrential rain, flying towards Bai Qiuran's direction.

"You bastard!"

Bai Qiuran stomped his foot, pulled out two Runes Flying Axe from his waist, and activated them at maximum power. Facing the torrential rain of energy, he continuously flipped his arms, and the two gleaming flying axes in his hands transformed into a blur, deflecting and blocking all the incoming energy beams.

Then these energy beams passed over him, past the fugitives not far behind him, and all landed in the Guardian Machine Puppet formation opposite him.

After a series of popping sounds, the Spiritual Platform of all these Guardian Machine Puppet were pierced by energy beams, and they died on the spot.

Of the remaining Guardian Machine Puppet present, only these two suddenly turned on each other. However, after blocking this wave of attacks, Bai Qiuran roared and propelled himself forward, hurtling towards Tang Ruowei.

The two enormous Machine Puppet smashed through countless facilities before disappearing from the fugitives' sight.

The fugitives looked at each other, then the white Werewolves turned and ran.

"Run!"

He shouted.

The other fugitives followed him and ran off in a flash. These organized, intelligent fugitives escaped together to a medium-sized Spaceship on the Landing Pad. Then, a professional fugitive went up, unlocked the Spaceship, and started it up.

As the Spaceship ascended, the Runes on its hull lit up one after another, and a huge Spatial Rift was torn open in front of the ship.

Then, the Spaceship's thrusters spewed out pillars of fire, and the entire Spaceship accelerated, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing into the Spatial Rift.

"Your acting is so fake."

Not long after the Spaceship left, Bai Qiuran and Tang Ruowei emerged from a pile of ruins. Bai Qiuran complained to her disciple.

"Is this what 'realistic acting' looks like?"

Tang Ruowei thought for a moment and replied, "The key isn't acting skills, the key is that we've achieved our goal."

"Sigh, I think I'll go lure some wild animals and destroy the recordings in the Main Control Room."

Bai Qiuran sighed, "I hope the Machine God won't suspect us."
