Chapter 528: The Rising Queen (2)
Chapter 528: The Rising Queen (2)When Dragon Slayer looked up, he found a figure standing atop the wall in the distance. The man was wearing a crude monkey mask and holding a blade in his hand. Blood dripped from the blade and instantly transformed into ice as they hit the ground.
The frozen ground spread rapidly, as if freezing not only the courtyard but also the hearts of Dragon Slayer and Hankasa Mitsu. A wave of fear surged through them. Then came the flash of the blade.
Moments later, two lifeless bodies lay on the ground in the rain-soaked courtyard of the rock garden. Li Xiaofei sheathed his Crescent Moon blade.
"The biggest flaw of cyborgs is that when their opponent’s strength exceeds the calculation ability of their engines and light core processors, they collapse instantly and completely. This Dragon Slayer was even stronger than Huangshi. He was likely a quasi-Saint. But still not my match."
Li Xiaofei carefully examined the remains. He discovered that Dragon Slayer’s body was almost entirely composed of mechanical components. Only the head retained a fully intact brain. The brain served as the control center, transmitting consciousness to the body and commanding its movements. Simply put, the brain was like a driver piloting the steel body. The technology was truly extraordinary.
It appeared that the Redshirt Group's mechanical modification technology was not only the pinnacle of the Jiepeng Empire but likely among the most advanced internationally. This steel body was invaluable.
Li Xiaofei stored it inside the Secret Time Pavilion without hesitation. He also took the head. He quickly found the so-called Orochi-01 mechanical body within the secret vault of the courtyard.
This was the latest product from the Redshirt Group’s Distillation Re
None of this changed the reality in Urawa Base City. Tsukiha Yaiba, now hailed as the new queen of Urawa Base City, was on an unstoppable path to power. Her rapid rise made her a rising star in the Jiepeng Empire's power structure. She became an object of admiration and envy for countless individuals.
However, such power and influence held no meaning for Li Xiaofei. It was only when this newly crowned queen knelt naked before him that he would feel the fleeting sense of accomplishment that an ordinary man might cherish.
Li Xiaofei had further enhanced his abilities by spending two stints in the Secret Time Pavilion. He had consumed ten vials of eighth-generation Starforce Reagents, depleting his entire stock.
His heart’s Spirit Core was now nearing perfection and his strength was growing at an astonishing rate. Li Xiaofei felt like he now possessed the capability to face ordinary Saints without relying on external aids. Quasi-Saint opponents like Dragon Slayer or Huangshi would be instantly obliterated if they crossed paths again.
On the fifth day, Li Xiaofei’s private light core received a contact request. The message bore no identifying information. But Li Xiaofei quickly deduced that it had to be someone from Great Xia's Dragon Group.
Li Xiaofei arrived at the designated location at the time specified in the message. It was another filthy and chaotic slave camp that reeked unbearably. When Li Xiaofei arrived as instructed, he indeed encountered Doctor and Poison Wolf.
"Meeting again," Li Xiaofei had his mask on. "What do you need my help with this time?"
The Doctor hesitated for a moment before speaking directly. "I ran a check through the organization’s channels and found no record of anyone in Great Xia’s Dragon Group with the codename Pangu."
"Of course there isn’t," Li Xiaofei replied candidly. "Because I made it up."
The excessive honesty left Doctor and Poison Wolf speechless.
"Let’s get to the point. Why did you call me here now?" Li Xiaofei asked. He turned to Poison Wolf as he added, "Before we discuss business, I have a gift for you."
He reached into the Secret Time Pavilion and retrieved the Orochi-01 mechanical body.
"What is this?" Poison Wolf asked, visibly stunned. He stared at Li Xiaofei in disbelief.
