As the dark Nightfall enveloped the earth, Lancelot, like a roc spreading its wings, swooped down to the left from the bare tree branches.
While Lancelot couldn't defeat Fourth-Tier Transcendent, the opponent also couldn't kill him.
The Body of Steel primarily enhances defense, while the Electromagnetic Armor is also a protective piece of equipment. Combined, Lancelot's durability is astonishing, making it difficult for ordinary Fourth-Tier Transcendent to kill him.
Moreover, the other party is definitely in a hurry to escape now, and probably won't bother to entangle with me.
Furthermore, the instructors are sure to arrive quickly, so the danger is minimal.
Regardless, Windsor and he were both members of the same training camp, and Windsor even sold him a lot of Vitality Elixir at a low price, which greatly helped his early-stage strength improvement.
After that, the two practiced together and got along quite well, so they decided to help each other out whenever possible, since there was nothing to lose.
With that in mind, Lancelot rushed to the fan-shaped area where the Windsor team was located.
When he arrived, he saw through night vision goggles a middle-aged man surrounded by cyan energy, with a large hole in his chest, fiercely attacking Windsor and her teammates. Crescent-shaped energy blades rained down like a storm.
Windsor and his teammates suffered a crushing defeat, ending up in a sorry state.
Especially Windsor's tank teammate, whose arm was actually severed by that extremely sharp energy. The cut was smooth, blood gushing out, and his face was as pale as paper. Although he was struggling to hold on, it was obvious to anyone with eyes that he had one foot in the grave.
As for Windsor's other teammate, he lay prone on a distant hill, holding a sniper rifle, sweating profusely as he searched for the middle-aged man's figure through his scope.
However, this Fourth-Tier Transcendent being was incredibly fast and had an exceptionally strong sense of the battlefield situation. Once he realized he was being targeted by a sniper rifle, he kept making small movements.
With its short-range, high-speed movement, maneuvering, and unpredictable movements, Windsor's teammates had no chance to fire, and firing rashly could easily result in friendly fire.
"Damn it... how can he still be so strong even when he's seriously injured?" Windsor gritted her teeth, and her Crystal Energy formed layers of rhomboid shields, protecting herself and her teammates.
Fortunately, her Ability Energy were both offensive and defensive; otherwise, her teammates would probably be dead by now. As for Windsor herself, with her Electromagnetic Armor and Crystal Energy protecting her, it would be wishful thinking for this Fourth-Tier Transcendent to kill her in a short time.
Upon noticing Lancelot, Windsor was overjoyed and immediately called for help.
Lancelot had come to provide support, and seeing that this Fourth-Tier Transcendent was seriously injured, he became even less afraid. He took over the tank position from his Windsor teammate and engaged the Fourth-Tier Transcendent in battle.
"Another one has appeared!" Hunter exclaimed angrily.
Using his Ability Energy ability, he feigned death to escape the instructors' massacre, and then took the opportunity to escape from the factory.
I thought I had escaped, but I ran into a few hotheads.
He hadn't intended to pay any attention to the woman in front of him, planning to take a detour as soon as he saw her from afar, but she seemed to see that he was seriously injured and actually led her men to attack him.
Hunter was stunned. "Seriously, sis? Don't you know there's a huge gap between Lower Transcendent and Mid-Rank Transcendent?"
So brave?
Even if I'm severely injured, I can still beat you to a pulp!
Thinking this, Hunter went up and unleashed a series of attacks, dislocating the arm of Windsor's teammate. Just as he was about to press his advantage and crush Windsor, Lancelot arrived.
Hunter immediately sensed something was wrong when his opponent changed.
The strength of this young man in front of him actually made him feel a slight threat.
His fighting moves were unpredictable, his Combat Skills were superb, and his attacks were ruthless and decisive—he was nothing like the two rookies from before.
What made Hunter even more upset and want to vomit blood was that this guy was just too muscular.
Wearing Electromagnetic Armor that Ability Energy his physical defense, and with his energy blade capable of cutting through steel, he was helpless against Lancelot, managing only to scratch him with a series of attacks.
And for some reason, this newcomer and this impulsive woman seemed to work together much better.
One person engages in close combat, while the other provides mid-range attacks and crowd control; their teamwork is seamless.
If this continues, I'm afraid I'll be stuck here.
Hunter is currently in a death race; every second is precious. If those terrifying Slaughter machines catch up behind him, he'll be finished.
The other party will definitely not give him a second chance to play dead and escape!
We can't delay any longer!
Hunter's pupils constricted as he unleashed a powerful secret technique.
With his Ability Energy activated to their limit, his energy surged, his strength skyrocketed, and his color changed from light blue to dark blue. His characteristics became even more violent, and the energy blades became more powerful and penetrating. The Electromagnetic Armor's durability plummeted amidst a series of teeth-grinding, sharp friction sounds, forcing Lancelot to defend with all his might.
However, Lancelot was not surprised but rather pleased by this situation.
He panicked!
Using explosive abilities to amplify combat power when you have the upper hand is a do-or-die tactic, because once the duration of the explosive ability wears off, you will inevitably enter a vulnerable phase, giving the enemy an opportunity to exploit you.
All Lancelot needs to do now is one thing: stall!
Once this period is over, this guy will be nothing more than a salted fish, completely at everyone's mercy.
Perhaps he can achieve his first feat of slaying Mid-Rank Transcendent!
With this thought in mind, Lancelot also pushed his Body of Steel to its limit.
A pure black metallic sheen enveloped his entire body, transforming him into an iron man once more. The Electromagnetic Armor was divided into several parts to protect the vital areas.
Then, under Windsor's twitching eyelids and Hunter's utterly astonished gaze, Lancelot actually withstood Hunter's fierce offensive and launched a counterattack!
The best defense is a good offense!
Lancelot's punches were as fast as lightning, and his all-black body blended seamlessly into the Nightfall, making his attacks even more difficult to catch.
Furthermore, having completely abandoned the defense of unimportant body parts, his offensive prowess was fully unleashed, like a divine sword that split the heavens and earth, its sharpness fully revealed.
Despite unleashing his explosive power, Hunter was still unable to break free from Lancelot's clutches.
At the same time, Windsor also used her Ability Energy to the fullest. Instead of protecting Lancelot, she constantly harassed and restrained Hunter, forcing him to focus on the battle in front of him and preventing him from retreating.
Damn it!
Hunter growled angrily, feeling the passage of time slowly taking away his life, and his emotions inevitably became agitated.
In intense battle, the worst thing you can do is to be impatient and agitated, as this will affect your movements and reactions.
As expected, Hunter's attack became even more intense.
But, for the first time, he also showed a flaw!
Lancelot Heightened Focus, and his perception was heightened. He immediately caught the extremely subtle flaw. He extended his right hand, his index and middle fingers forming a sword shape. His forearm muscles suddenly exploded, propelling his two fingers out at supersonic speed, precisely striking Hunter's left chest.
The powerful force caused his chest muscles to cave in, compressing his blood vessels. The force surged through his fingers into Hunter's heart, then exploded, disrupting his Blood Qi, causing his body's energy to fluctuate, like a boulder suddenly falling onto a calm lake.
Hunter grunted and stumbled backward, leaving the area below wide open.
Lancelot's pupils suddenly contracted. He activated Flash Step, stepping forward with his left foot and kicking Hunter between his legs with his right foot in an arc.
