Meanwhile, Lu Luo, holding the Grudge Blade, had slightly lowered his body and silently called out to the Observer in his mind.
"Let's go into serious mode."
"Sequence S-11 - Observer, overclocked state activated. Let me come up with a chuunibyou opening line for you: Swing your blade to your heart's content, Lu Luo Beast!"
"Here I come!"
"Based on the movement direction of the Red Armor, it will attack you with its left pincer. Prepare to dodge."
"Continuing to analyze Red Armor's weaknesses. Observer's level is low, please wait patiently..."
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Lu Luo once again began his sword dance. Each collision between the Grudge Blade and the Red Armor would send a phantom pain into the Red Armor's body.
Although the Red Armor didn't suffer much physical damage, the mental shock caused by the phantom pain continuously eroded its brain, making it increasingly frantic.
"The Red Armor is talking again. They are so strange; each one seems to enjoy communicating with you. Let me translate for you."
"Disgusting human, look at your face, it's all mottled and ugly."
"?? How can an Xenomorph have an accent?"
Lu Luo's fight with the Red Armor was somewhat difficult. His attack power wasn't strong enough, and most of the time, he could only rely on phantom pain to damage the Red Armor.
As the battle continued, Lu Luo swung his blade while contemplating his shortcomings.
"I lack basic skills, like swordsmanship. I lack powerful destructive moves, cultivation techniques, defensive measures, and long-range attack methods! Sigh, I lack too many things!"
"Can you stop talking? When you talk like that, I feel sorry for you. Doesn't that make our three S-rank sequences seem incompetent?"
"Based on the movement direction of the Red Armor, it will attack you with its tail stinger, directly above. Prepare to dodge."
"Continuing to analyze Red Armor's weaknesses..."
Lu Luo sidestepped, dodging the scorpion tail stinger's thrust, and at the same time, counterattacked, leaving a sword mark on the stinger. This sword mark was Gu Fangyi's target, and Lu Luo shouted loudly.
"Aim carefully, Gu Fangyi."
"Stop showing off. I know my own business; I don't need you to remind me."
Just like their cooperation at the 404 Exhibition Hall, Gu Fangyi and Lu Luo once again worked together.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Gu Fangyi fired three consecutive shots. The first shot accurately hit Lu Luo's sword mark, the second shot was slightly off, and the third shot hit the sword mark again.
The dark energy attached to the bullets gradually permeated, beginning to destroy the internal tissue of the scorpion tail stinger.
The dark energy-infused bullets were extremely powerful, and continuous firing was enough to damage the Red Armor at this point. The already somewhat frantic creature immediately abandoned Lu Luo and Chu Qi, turning its body towards Gu Fangyi, who was raising his gun and firing.
"Bang! Bang!"
Gu Fangyi did not stop firing just because the Red Armor's attention shifted to him. His mission was to break the Red Armor's tail stinger before he couldn't go on.
As for the Red Armor's movements, that was something Lu Luo should handle.
"It's turned around."
"I know!"
Lu Luo gripped the Grudge Blade and slid under the Red Armor. Although he couldn't do what many stories described, cutting open a monster's belly with a knife.
However, this was indeed a blind spot for the Red Armor, where even its tail stinger couldn't reach, making it a relatively safe place.
While sliding, Lu Luo didn't forget to swing his blade. With the overclocked Observer's keen perception, he accurately landed three consecutive cuts on the same joint.
The Red Armor couldn't see what was beneath it and had no way to anticipate or dodge Lu Luo's attacks.
After three consecutive cuts in the same spot, coupled with the effect of phantom pain, even a monster like the Red Armor stumbled, kneeling on one leg.
"Nice!"
After the Red Armor knelt, Lu Luo immediately prepared to deliver a finishing blow, but that annoying Mirror Orb appeared at this moment.
"I've come for you again, student Lu Luo!"
"Go to hell! Malice!"
On the Grudge Blade, Zhang Zhe's resentment, the sleeping witch, and the malice intertwined with the deformed creature gradually converged on the sword.
A hideous evil spirit, with fangs protruding from its mouth and only an upper body, appeared on the tip of Lu Luo's blade.
As soon as it appeared, it let out a wild laugh into the air, making Lu Luo look very chuunibyou.
As the Mirror Orb approached Lu Luo, the evil spirit grabbed it, and the power of phantom pain was injected into the Mirror Orb's body, strand by strand, by the malice.
Mental attacks could harm spectral entities like the Mirror Orb.
The Mirror Orb also let out a shriek, frantically releasing cold air to resist the phantom pain, and then wrestled with the malice summoned by Lu Luo.
The two giant soul entities looked terrifying, but their movements were actually very slow. If someone like Lu Luo were to watch continuously, he might even fall asleep.
"Good, as long as it can be held back, I'll deal with it later."
In fact, following the same logic, after acquiring the Grudge Blade, Lu Luo could already harm the Mirror Orb through phantom pain, as the effect of phantom pain was also useful against spirits.
However, their main combat objective right now was still the Red Armor in front of them.
Gu Fangyi's shooting continued. He fired another 5 shots, three of which hit the Red Armor's tail stinger, causing the Red Armor to let out another mournful cry.
Two streams of blood were already flowing from Gu Fangyi's nostrils due to the excessive use of dark energy.
However, to save time and maintain the stability of his hand, he hadn't even wiped them away.
After these 5 shots, Gu Fangyi finally couldn't hold on any longer. His injuries, the fire poison, the overuse of dark energy, and his extremely fatigued body were all eroding his will.
His fingers had begun to tremble, and in this state, he couldn't grip the pistol tightly.
"Zhou Kai, help me."
"Huh? How can I help?" Zhou Kai, who had been slacking off, immediately responded when he heard Gu Fangyi ask for his help.
"Hold my body and assist me in shooting. When I tell you to shoot, you shoot."
"Huh? Hold you? You're not a woman. Wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?"
"What the hell are you talking about, women and men? What time is it? What on earth are you thinking? Are you an idiot?"
Gu Fangyi was almost infuriated by Zhou Kai. Why was there such a big difference between people? They were all promising young people of the wasteland. Look at how Lu Luo cooperates, and then look at you?
"Okay, okay, stop scolding. How do I hold you?"
"Like this, like this, then like this, and finally like this."
Eyes: "I got it."
Brain: "I got it too."
Hands: "Come on, you guys do it! Damn it!"
Zhou Kai fumbled for a long time before finally asking uncertainly:
"Like this?"
"Yes, just like this!"
"Those two guys behind seem to be doing something gay. Oh my god, they're actually doing it in front of a man, a woman, and two Xenomorph. How terrifying!"
