Chapter 74

Qian Danni turned back and glanced at the intense battle between Zheng Xiaotian and the robot. In his heart, he silently wished for the best. There was nothing more he could do.

"Tell me, what do you have in your backpacks?" The team leader looked at Qian Danni with a dark expression.

"Mr. Zheng Xiaotian's things," Qian Danni replied.

"You don't want to say, do you? It's probably something valuable," the team leader smiled.

"What do you mean?" Qian Danni was now ready for a fight. He thought to himself, this is just like being targeted.

"Actually, I want to join you. I wonder if you welcome me. In the U.S., our annual salary is $30,000. I don't need much, just $35,000 would be fine." The team leader smiled. The killing intent on his body suddenly dissipated as he remembered Zheng Xiaotian, who could make sparks with the robot.

The team leader knew that he might be able to handle the group in front of him, but he was definitely no match for Zheng Xiaotian. Was he willing to risk his life for the U.S.? He didn't have that kind of faith.

"That's not a problem," Qian Danni extended his right hand, "I hope our future cooperation will be pleasant."

"Pleasant!" The team leader shook hands with Qian Danni.

From then on, the team leader and Qian Danni cooperated seamlessly. It wasn't just $35,000; Qian Danni directly offered $53,000, plus a bonus. For some necessary tasks, they needed these professionals. Because they were highly specialized in various aspects, they built a powerful business empire. Of course, Zheng Xiaotian couldn't see any of this.

At this moment, Zheng Xiaotian was still engaged in close combat with the robot. As the fight went on, he felt he couldn't hold on much longer. He realized that close combat was a mistake. If it were a war of attrition, he might have a chance to win. But in close combat, he had no chance of winning.

Whoosh!

Zheng Xiaotian and the robot pulled away from each other.

The robot's right hand moved to its back, gripping a knife handle. With a forceful pull, a clang was heard. When his hand came to the front, an energy knife appeared in his palm.

Zheng Xiaotian extended his right hand, and a knife handle slowly appeared in his palm. He gripped the handle and pressed a button. With a hum, the blade emerged. It was a laser sword.

Zheng Xiaotian was determined to make one last effort. If even the laser sword couldn't defeat the opponent, he would have to give up completely.

"Naive!" The robot spat out these two words and shot toward Zheng Xiaotian.

Zheng Xiaotian didn't understand the meaning of these two words.

Clang!

Zheng Xiaotian's laser sword and the robot's energy knife met. At that moment, he suddenly felt something was wrong. Even though the robot's mechanical face didn't show much expression, he seemed to see the robot smiling darkly, as if its plan had succeeded and he had been tricked.

"Your knife, I made it." The robot said this and then roared. With great strength, it gripped the handle and swung a powerful blow at Zheng Xiaotian.

The laser was penetrated. In other words, although the blade was still there, the energy knife had passed through and struck Zheng Xiaotian's chest.

A sizzling sound filled the air.

With a whoosh, Zheng Xiaotian was thrown backward. A large gash appeared on his chest, and blood dripped down.

This... Zheng Xiaotian looked down at his chest.

"Die!" The robot, not letting up, gripped the energy knife and swung another blow at Zheng Xiaotian. He thought to himself, one strike didn't kill you? Not bad, this defense. The defense was indeed beyond his expectations. However, humans fear bleeding. When they lose too much blood, they become weak and can't fight. So!

Zheng Xiaotian swallowed hard. He retreated, raising his hands.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh. Tracking missiles shot out from Zheng Xiaotian's palms, sweeping toward the robot. The feeling was intense.

Boom, boom, boom.

The tracking missiles exploded on the robot's body, but it didn't hesitate, continuing to charge at Zheng Xiaotian.

Zheng Xiaotian had no choice but to raise his laser sword to defend himself.

Clang, clang, clang. The sound of weapons clashing was continuous.

"Ha!" The robot swung a horizontal cut with great force, aiming at Zheng Xiaotian's abdomen.

Zheng Xiaotian raised his hand to block. With a clang, he blocked it. But in that instant, the energy knife penetrated his laser sword and struck his abdomen.

Sizzle.

Zheng Xiaotian's abdomen was covered in sparks. A large gash appeared, and blood dripped down.

The robot didn't notice that Zheng Xiaotian's chest wound had already completely healed and scabbed over. So, Zheng Xiaotian's physical abilities were different from others; he wouldn't die from excessive bleeding.

Zheng Xiaotian used the momentum of the blow to retreat.

The robot, gripping the energy knife, pursued him.

"Sir, the armor is severely damaged and needs time to heal," the butler said.

"Understood. Just half a minute, hold on, I'll give you the time," Zheng Xiaotian said.

The robot pursued, closing in.

Clang, clang, clang. The sound of weapons clashing was continuous. At that moment, sparks flew, and the close combat was intense and thrilling.

"Ten seconds, nine seconds, eight seconds, hold on, hold on. Seven seconds, five seconds." Zheng Xiaotian counted down. He was sensing the air bullets he had released and was struggling to control them.

"This strike will finish you," the robot swung a powerful blow at Zheng Xiaotian's neck.

"Before you finish me, I'll finish you first." Zheng Xiaotian's hands suddenly clasped together, and he roared, "Explode!"

With a boom, the container in the robot's chest, which stored its soul, exploded.

The robot collapsed.

Zheng Xiaotian instantly dodged the energy knife that was about to strike him. He took a deep breath and said, "Thank goodness it had a weakness, otherwise..."
