Chapter 272: Your Spear Is Just a Spear, My s.h.i.+eld Isn’t Just A s.h.i.+eld

Just a while ago, an awe-inspiring Flaming Spiritcrow had descended from the sky and joined the battle halfway up the mountain. With the Flaming Feather Saber in one hand, it took on the Golden-Armored Overlord and its Overlord Saber in a very intense battle.

Black Spade K left the Golden Armor Overlord to continue fighting on its own while he rode the flying sprite to the top of the mountain.

He also saw the huge aqua-blue Qilin with the glorious heavenly might slowly dissipate.

However, he wasn’t afraid. He leaped off the flying sprite and landed beside the charming woman. He stretched out his hand and spread his fingers. “Come out, Steel G.o.d Soldier!”

In an instant, a silver-gray figure appeared.

It was… a figure with full-body armor that was more than two meters tall, with a helmet and a visor covering its face. Its hands and feet were all armor parts.

Sprite: Steel G.o.d Soldier!

It was a rather rare metal-element sprite. It had a very unique characteristic, which was that its interior was hollow. And Steel G.o.d Soldiers could disa.s.semble their armor parts and then reattach on their Sprite Trainers to protect them.

It was a sprite that could make people feel safe, good at defending and protecting lives!

The other party’s battle power seemed formidable, especially the Steel G.o.d Soldier in front of Su Hao. Su Hao took a look at the interface and knew that it was much stronger than the Fairy Snail and the Golden-Armored Overlord.

It was a real, experienced extraordinary-level sprite!

The two water dragons drawn by Dumb Unicorn were smashed into water foam by the Steel G.o.d Soldier in an instant.

Unless Dumb Unicorn repeated the same move it had just used, otherwise… For the time being, it was difficult for Dumb Unicorn’s ordinary battle method to pose a sufficient threat to the Steel G.o.d Soldier.

“It looks like your sprite must have exhausted a lot of its energy already.”

Black Spade K seemed to have seen through everything.

Su Hao didn’t rebut. Indeed… he had only practiced the “Cloud Rain Qilin” Dumb Unicorn for a short period of time. Its power and durability were still imperfect, and it consumed a lot of energy.

It could only be used two to three more times at most.

And the main duty of the Dumb Unicorn was to help the others escape, so it needed to conserve more than half of its spiritual force behind… The “Cloud Rain Qilin” was not proficient at this stage and took too long to prepare. Before an experienced master-level Sprite Trainer, the same big move could not be used a second time. At least for the time being.

So, Su Hao waved his hand and made the Dumb Unicorn retreat. Amidst the surprise and bewilderment of the charming woman and the curly-haired man, he called out to Big Fat Bear, who had been hiding behind a certain rock that withstood the rain and the wind.

The chubby body came in front of him and let out a temporarily mighty roar.

“Howl ~!”

But it turned its head and whimpered as it seemed to be asking Su Hao for something. Su Hao was speechless. He reached out and pushed it. “No, there’s no room for discussion. Let’s talk after the fight.”

“Howl ~!” Big Fat Bear agreed.

On the opposite side, the curly-haired man’s surprise and bewilderment became even heavier. He observed Big Fat Bear for a moment and said, “You actually have a third extraordinary-level sprite at such a young age!”

It was both a surprise and a way for him to probe.

Seeing that Su Hao didn’t answer, the curly-haired man’s expression also became solemn.

“Two… Three extraordinary-level ones.” He looked at the two in front of him, then at the one below, and finally ordered the Steel G.o.d Soldier, “Condense your weapon! Get rid of them!”

The Steel G.o.d Soldier, which was made entirely of armor, had its feet slightly off the ground. The two holes on its mask burst out with a terrifying light. Its palms, which were also made of steel, suddenly pressed together and opened to the sides. Silver light interweaved into a long spear in its palms, extending continuously until it was completely materialized in its hands.

Solidified Armament: Steel Spear!

A method that only experienced extraordinary-level experts could master.

But just as this spear was condensed, the curly-haired man saw the Thunder Bear roar and spread its arms, and with a series of “ka ka ~ ka ka” sounds, a full-body battle armor appeared, making its originally fat and big body even more impressive.

Battle Armor Fusion!

It was already a Thunder Battle Bear!

“Your… your sprite can actually solidify its armor.”

He couldn’t care less about the noobs in the arrest team. It didn’t matter to him if they caught up to him.

But in front of him, this young man who might only be in his early twenties had made him feel threatened, which was something he hadn’t felt in a long time.

The curly-haired man’s bewilderment level increased by 1. He a.n.a.lyzed it. It wasn’t easy for Steel G.o.d Soldier to fight against two alone either.

The plan had to change.

“Give up on that old man and just bring the machine away.”

The charming woman, Red Spade Q, responded. She summoned two weak water-element sprites and used a certain Sprite Commandeering method to hang a trace of the Fairy Snail’s blood. All this while, she remained on guard and gradually distanced herself, running towards the place where the strange machine was placed a few hundred meters away.

Then… she was stopped by a certain blue figure.

At the same time, the Steel G.o.d Soldier holding the silver spear was just about to charge towards the Dumb Unicorn when it was blocked by a round but especially agile figure.

Bang–

The silver spear stabbed into the blue bracer. In an instant, the tip of the spear burst out with sharp golden light, while sizzling arcs of lightning also emerged from the bracer. With the two sprites as the center, the golden and lightning arcs spread to the left and right sides, and suddenly, a bottomless crack more than 20 meters long appeared on the ground.

However, the Steel G.o.d Soldier didn’t have any intention of letting this go on. It could fly so it soared high into the sky and pounced towards the water qilin, wanting to create an opportunity for the rest of the Poker Bandits.

The curly-haired man also rode his sprite into the sky and pulled away.

He pondered. “At this point, we can’t continue on like this. I’ll let the Steel G.o.d Soldier buy some time and retreat immediately after getting the machine… With that machine, we’ll have something to deliver.”

The curly-haired man saw that the Steel G.o.d Soldier was flying while the Thunder Battle Bear ran on all fours. “As expected, it can’t catch up to my steel…”

Sizzle—

A lightning chain emerged from the Thunder Bear’s palm and wrapped around the Steel G.o.d Soldier with lightning speed. It circled a few times and tied it tightly.

No matter how hard the Steel G.o.d Soldier struggled, it couldn’t break free from the invisible but substantial lightning chains.

The curly-haired man could only watch helplessly as his Steel G.o.d Soldier was locked and forcefully pulled back. What greeted the Steel G.o.d Soldier was a Thunderbolt Palm.

Bang~!

The Thunder Palm and the chain produced a resonance. Amidst the intense explosion, the Steel G.o.d Soldier flew backwards, dragging a long ditch in the ground.

With just one hit, the curly-haired man’s expression changed.

In his contract connection, the Steel G.o.d Soldier that had pretty strong defense had already suffered minor injuries under the Thunder Light Palm.

“I have to focus on dealing with that Thunder Bear!”

The curly-haired man figured out a solution. When the lightning chain tries to wrap around it again, he intends to use a unique skill to defeat it first.

Booming sounds rang out continuously as explosive smoke clouds blossomed in the air.

The silver-gray figure kept dancing in the air, sometimes piercing out golden light, and sometimes flas.h.i.+ng behind Big Fat Bear. Its powerful and heavy spear could make Big Fat Bear stumble.

In terms of battle experience, the Big Fat Bear was even inferior to the Dumb Unicorn.

Especially when they were evenly matched.

At this point, Big Fat Bear was crying out in pain from being stabbed. It wasn’t injured much, but the thunder arcs reflected by the Thunder G.o.d Battle Armor couldn’t hurt the Steel G.o.d Soldier holding the solidified weapon.

After being stabbed more than ten times, a certain weak spot had already been stabbed twice, and was about to be penetrated.

It was slowly becoming more anxious.

Under the threat of pain, the big fat bear finally used the intellect it had when playing games… Uh, although it didn’t seem to have much intellect even when playing games.

But it finally changed its battle strategy. It was no longer pa.s.sively taking hits, nor did it consume a large amount of spiritual force to send out AOE that could hit but dealt insufficient damage. Instead, its whole body curled up, and waves of lightning emerged from its battle armor, directly wrapping it into a huge thunder ball.

There was no need for it to run or roll. The ball of lightning started moving on its own. When the Steel G.o.d Soldier stabbed at it, it also collided forcefully.

Bang~!

The two spirits collided, and the one with the heavier weight won.

The thunder ball trembled, and the Steel G.o.d Soldier retreated a few steps with a bang. It stepped out footprints one after another, and countless cracks spread.

The next moment, under the lingering lightning, the thunder ball moved again and rolled forward.

Accompanied by rumbling thunder.

The Steel G.o.d Soldier, which didn’t dare to face it head-on, dodged a few times. However, the more the thunder ball rolled, the faster it became. One could only see the bluish-purple thunder shadow flash past.

“Fly up and drag it until the thunder ball can’t hold on anymore.”

The curly-haired man ordered.

As long as the Steel G.o.d Soldier didn’t try to attack, it wouldn’t give the thunder ball a chance to hit.

And a sprite like Thunder Roaring obviously wouldn’t…

“Why is it flying!?”

Dozens of “wheel marks” had already been carved out by the constant rolling by now. Suddenly, the Thunder Ball Chariot, with a speed of 200 miles per hour, rolled from the ground and into the sky amidst crackling thunder and flashes, hitting straight at the Steel G.o.d Soldier.

Boom!!!

A ball of terrifying lightning exploded in the air. At the last moment, the Steel G.o.d Soldier used its spear to block the impact. Its armor was covered in a layer of golden light, but it was still forcefully blasted away.

The solidified spear fell from the sky and plunged into the ground, leaving only a hole.

The Steel G.o.d Soldier also flew far away. By now, there were already many charred marks on the silver-gray armor. It looked extremely miserable.

It was only at this point that the exploding lightning gradually dissipated. Its c.u.mbersome body suddenly smashed down from the sky. With a boom, it smashed out the biggest pit since the battle—a huge pit 30 to 40 meters in diameter and 7 to 9 meters in depth.

The thunderous explosion made Su Hao couldn’t help but cover his ears.

The dust and smoke dissipated.

Only Big Fat Bear, Dumb Unicorn, and a few sprites that couldn’t get up from the ground remained.

And the hastily fleeing figures of the Poker Bandits.
