The ultimate Valkyrie has fallen for me

Bang~!

With a heavy thud, Lu Yuan was sent flying.

"That was a heavy punch."

Dozens of meters away, Lu Yuan got up from the ground, looked at Zhang Xuekun, wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly smiled.

As expected of a four-star warrior, his punches are indeed heavy.

However, it is not entirely insurmountable.

Lu Yuan's earlier assessment was correct; he had virtually no chance of winning against a four-star warrior. But judging from that punch just now, he shouldn't be instantly killed.

After all, having wiped out all of Zhang Xuekun's drones in one fell swoop, his punch just now, delivered in anger, must have been delivered with all his might.

As long as you're not instantly killed, there's a chance—a chance to maneuver or escape.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but let out a soft sigh of relief.

While he was pondering, Zhang Xuekun rushed up again, indicating that he was indeed very angry.

"Walk!"

He could withstand one punch, but it was hard to say what would happen if he took several. A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, so Lu Yuan turned and ran.

Although he is not as fast as Zhang Xuekun, as the previous chase had already demonstrated, he can run as far as he can, and maybe he can eventually escape back to Chongming Base City.

Woof woof!

But to everyone's surprise, just as he was about to unleash his explosive step, several robotic dogs pounced on him amidst barking.

Lu Yuan frowned, knowing he could only deal with these metal lumps for now.

He kicked two of them over and punched one away. Before he could catch his breath, the other robot dogs pounced on him.

There were eight in total. Although they weren't real dogs, it must be said that, thanks to their programmed setup, their coordination far surpassed that of top hunting dogs. Moreover, as machines and weapons, their lethality was exceptional.

It would be difficult to defeat these eight robot dogs using only fists and kicks or ordinary combat techniques.

"So hard."

A single punch can break through the protective aura of an ordinary martial artist, but it can't harm these robotic dogs.

In this entanglement, in addition to the surrounding robot dogs, Zhang Xuekun also pounced on them.

Lu Yuan frowned; the more he entangled with the situation, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

Boom!

His face darkened, and a large amount of true energy suddenly surged out from his body, turning into a raging heat wave in the next moment.

It not only swallowed up all the surrounding robot dogs, but also dragged Zhang Xuekun, who rushed up, into it.

But Zhang Xuekun was a skilled warrior after all, and his reaction was extremely swift. He immediately retreated, avoiding the heatwave.

Although they failed to capture Zhang Xuekun, disabling these robot dogs was still a significant achievement.

"Hmm? Oh no!"

As he was pondering this, Lu Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly jumped back to dodge.

Woof woof!

Accompanied by fierce barking, eight robotic dogs burst out of the heatwave, following closely behind Lu Yuan as he continued to tear at him.

"Damn it."

Standing a few dozen meters away, looking at the eight intact robotic dogs, Lu Yuan frowned again.

The high temperature of several thousand degrees Celsius had absolutely no effect on these few iron lumps.

Clearly, these robot dogs are much more robust and durable in every aspect compared to drones.

"Abandoning those sophisticated electronic components and thermal weapons, in pursuit of pure physical strength?"

After a moment's thought, Lu Yuan roughly understood.

Drones excel in maneuverability and powerful firepower, but these are different. They are not equipped with thermal weapons, but rather act like ordinary wild animals, biting with their teeth and tearing with their claws.

Of course, as machines, their claws are even sharper and more pointed, like daggers.

Therefore, if you are bitten by them, the damage can be quite significant.

The advantage of doing this is that it allows these robot dogs to get as close as possible to purely mechanical bodies, thus avoiding various signal interferences and providing stronger defense.

"idiot."

Looking coldly at Lu Yuan, Zhang Xuekun let out a smug snort.

The value of these eight robot dogs is twice that of the drone swarm that Lu Yuan destroyed!

In addition to its excellent combat programming, it is made of special materials and is extremely sturdy. Unless subjected to extremely strong destructive power, it cannot be damaged.

"Go to hell!"

The next moment, Zhang Xuekun roared and rushed in front of Lu Yuan again.

There were no fancy moves, just a punch coming straight at you.

As a Star Core Realm cultivator, besides further enhancing their true qi, the main focus is on strengthening their physical body. Therefore, the fighting style of a warrior is often more primitive and may not even appear as flashy as that of a Meridian Opening Realm cultivator.

But in reality, the threat contained in this punch and kick far surpasses the fancy moves of someone in the Opening Meridian Realm.

Moreover, Zhang Xuekun's situation is even more special. As a general of Tianjing Group, most of his body has been transformed into machinery.

As a machine, it inevitably experiences some sluggishness in the transmission of true qi, but it excels on a physical level.

"A mechanical body!"

Besides the fist, there was also a chilling metallic gleam in the trouser leg, and Lu Yuan's eyes widened slightly.

In addition to a mechanical prosthetic eye, at least all four limbs have also been mechanically modified.

Woof woof!

While still struggling to cope with Zhang Xuekun's relentless pursuit, the robot dogs started bothering them again.

"This is troublesome."

For a time, Lu Yuan was almost overwhelmed.

Bang~!

Caught off guard, Lu Yuan was punched directly by Zhang Xuekun. The powerful force of the iron fist sent Lu Yuan flying over a hundred meters away.

"Pfft~!"

With a heavy thud upon landing, Lu Yuan felt his blood and qi surge, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

As he got up and tried his best to calm his blood and qi, Lu Yuan frowned as he looked at Zhang Xuekun and the mechanical dogs that continued to charge forward.

No, this won't do, I'll die if this continues!

I just took a punch, and although I used my inner energy to protect myself in time, I still suffered some internal injuries.

He was alright after just one punch.

If he takes a few more hits, the cumulative effect will definitely be too much for him.

But the problem now is that he can't escape.

After all, besides Zhang Xuekun, there were also those annoying robot dogs.

Woof woof!

As I pondered, accompanied by fierce barking, the robot dog pounced on me.

Lu Yuan stood still, but this time he did not dodge.

Buzz!

The moment the robot dog pounced, the golden bell shield covered his entire body.

But unlike before, this time it was just a tiny golden bell shield, barely enough to cover the entire body.

"It seems my internal energy is almost depleted."

Looking at this little golden bell shield, Zhang Xuekun smiled slightly.

The previous times he unleashed his power, making such a big fuss, I thought Lu Yuan's true energy was extremely profound. Now it seems that he was just putting on a show.

Click~ Click~!

Despite the protective shield, the robotic dogs were completely unaffected and continued to pounce and bite.

Sharp, hard metal claws were firmly stuck in the golden bell shield, trying to bite it to pieces.

"You want to break through my golden shield? Fine."

Looking at the eight robotic dogs that had practically piled up around him, Lu Yuan smiled slightly.

Pa~!

The next moment, he deliberately removed the Golden Bell Shield.

Buzz!

The instant the golden bell shield disappeared, there was another buzzing sound, and a crimson sun suddenly surged out from Lu Yuan's body.

Like a fiercely burning fireball, it instantly engulfed not only Lu Yuan, but also the eight robot dogs around him!

Sizzle~ Sizzle~!

Under the scorching sun, the robotic dog, made of special materials, quickly turned a deep red and then began to show signs of melting...
