Chapter 1391 Corney Gatling
Yet, the Variant Chimaera did not stop and continued to shoot randomly around the battlefield, spraying through the smoke in hopes that the siblings would get hit by his attacks. And even if they did not, he would expect to hear some popping soon enough.
"POP BOOM!"
The explosion was more than enough of a signal to indicate where the Pandawans were. He quickly changed the mode on his gatling gun to make his 'corn' bullets lope over obstacles like how a grenade launcher works. And because it was a gatling gun, those corn bullets were being shot out at such succession that the explosions blanketed the area. Corney Gatling assumed that this would effectively kill the cultivators but Gnawbones thought otherwise.
The earth began to tremble as the Air Force General fiddled with a controller. Soon, a robot in the same colour as Aegis Gunndam, the Supa Robot that he had previously kidnapped, began to emerge from the earth in front of him. However, aside from the paint job, the robot didn't resemble the Aegis Gunndam in terms of appearance. Its head was disproportionately large relative to the rest of its body as if to make up for a flaw in the design of the machine.
"Bwahahahahah! To think that those insane coat rats were able to complete this in less than 24 hours. They must be really inspired by that flying mechanical being!" Gnawbones shouted with hysteria in his tone. "Thank you humans for giving me this golden opportunity to test it on you all!!!"
Corney Gatling stopped his attacks not only because he assumed that the cultivators were killed but it was also to allow Gnawbones to work on his new toy. It also gave the Variant Chimaera some time to laugh at the absurdity of the machine that came crawling out of the ground.
But what he did not expect was that even before Gnawbones was able to press another button on his controller, an unnatural gust of wind blew downwards on him, forcing him to look up.
And before he knew it, the Demon Rat heard a thud on the ground which he presumed that he must have dropped the controller because of that gust of wind. Gnawbones was bleeding profusely when he looked down and saw that both of his hands had been severed and were laying on the ground beside his broken controller.
"Fuck! Did not expect that he would look up at that point in time." Yue Han thought to himself, knowing that the assassination was a failure when he saw that his opponent was still alive screaming. Yet, there was no time to hesitate as he had to go for the second target instantly, focusing on the opportunity that Corney Gatling was stunned by the current development.
The Variant Chimaera utilised his gatling gun to repel the assault due to his confidence in the durability of his gear, but he was erroneously optimistic.
"Advanced Healing Maiden Arts! Trifold Buffing!" Yue Wen emerged from the dispersing smokescreen as her sword cane glowed brightly upon activating her arts. Orbs of coloured energies flew towards Yue Han at that particular instant, giving him Bear's strength, Eagle's agility and Cat's luck for ten seconds.
"Advanced Sword Arts! Ascension Sword Strike of the Blind Bat!" Yue Han shouted as bat silhouettes emerged from the chi that was accumulated around his sword, causing his strike to look like a stream of bats flying upwards.
It was then Corney Gatling thought it was a bad idea that reacts by using his gun to block the blow. Nevertheless, its battle instinct was so acute that his tail retaliated for the Variant Rat and Yue Han was not expecting it.
Still, it would be a waste to stop his attack so he decided to risk it all and finish the strike but upon doing so, both the cultivator and the Chimaera Rat were heavily damaged. The Rat's tail stabbed through the side of Yue Han and to make it worse, it was strapped with the very same corn bullets that were used.
It caused his wounds within him to explode, releasing a gush of guts towards the Rats as the Blind Bat Cultivator lay on the ground unable to move. In the meantime, Yue Han's ascension sword strike managed to cut one of Corney Gatling's arteries on his neck. It could completely be the luck buffed by his sister but he believed he would not be lucky to survive the attack.
"Ha…ha…Even with Yue Wen's current abilities, I doubt she would be able to save me unless she used the instant resurrection skill." Yue Han thought to himself but he knew that his sister had already used more than enough chi to create a multi layer barrier to stop the popping attacks before the assassination attempt.
"You will pay for this!!!" Gnawbones shouted in agony once again, as he used his tail to slap the dying Blind Bat, not allowing him to die in peace while he ran towards his beloved robot. The back of its head suddenly opened and the Demon Rat jumped right into it.
"Fuck, that rat still can survive even after losing two hands?" Yue Han could not believe his eyes as he threw his last breath away cursing that arsehole Rat activating the robot in that kind of condition.
Looks like Deng Long still has a shot at killing that General.
