Unable to dodge in time, Mu Bai could only hold the broken Dolan sword horizontally in front of him to block.
Clang! With a crisp sound, the Dolan Sword shattered, and Mu Bai himself was propelled by the immense force and crashed into a wall behind him.
However, thanks to the protection of his Hextech armor, he did not suffer any serious injuries.
The killer seemed well aware that he couldn't kill his opponent, and immediately started running in another direction.
Although Mu Bai was finally able to catch his breath, he felt no joy whatsoever. On the contrary, he felt a sense of unease—the robot was about to carry out its true objective!
"Quick! Stop him!" Mu Bai shouted urgently, "Don't let it break through the encirclement!"
Upon receiving the order, everyone immediately unleashed their full firepower, with all sorts of weapons simultaneously raining down on the killer.
Unfortunately, the effect was not significant.
This enormous robot rampaged through the crowd, mercilessly overturning anything or anyone that stood in its way. Missiles and firearms had no effect on it.
Just as the killer was about to break through the encirclement, an iron fist, about the thickness of a normal adult's torso, suddenly flew over and precisely grabbed one of its legs.
Immediately afterwards, the iron fist pulled back, dragging the killer more than ten meters.
"Well done, you got it!"
A dark-skinned young man sat on the shoulder of a giant robot with a yellow metal shell, shouting excitedly.
Chapter Seventy-Four: Storm Slash
Viktor once wrote in his notebook: "Defeat machines with machines!"
Now, it seems his "prediction" is about to come true.
His most prized and glorious product of evolution was snatched away by Blitz like a claw machine, and the iron fist, bigger than the Killer's head, slammed down, directly denting the Killer's chest.
Viktor's greatest invention of the past is now beating his greatest invention of the present.
"Well done, big guy!" Ike stood up, stepping on Blitzcrank's shoulders, waving his arms excitedly. "Smash it! Smash it into... uh, a pile of metal!"
"Engine started, maximum power," Blitz replied blankly, like a shy big boy.
But its iron fists were anything but shy; each strike was delivered with deadly force, so powerful that the surrounding ground trembled.
This spectacular performance left everyone around them completely stunned.
Are the two robots...fighting? Are they fighting amongst themselves? Or are they fighting over engine oil?
"Blitz?" Amidst a sea of surprised gazes, only Jess recognized the yellow steam robot.
That was Viktor's invention before he went mad, but it was also the turning point that forced him toward madness.
Blitz was originally an ordinary rescue robot, but under Victor's modification, it miraculously developed self-awareness and the ability to actively imitate and evolve.
At the time, this amazing steam robot caused a sensation throughout the city.
Viktor could have used this great invention to reach the pinnacle of academia, but an old professor at Piltover College—Professor Stanwick—openly displayed Viktor's research results in his own name.
Victor filed a complaint with the college, but it was ultimately ignored because of his overly aggressive words.
Throughout this farce, Jess remained silent.
He did not stand up for his old friend.
Later, Victor's madness made Jess regret his actions, but it was too late.
All he can do now is try his best to stop his old friend and prevent him from getting into trouble.
"Great opportunity! Everyone, charge!" Jess shouted, and the giant cannon in his hand transformed into a warhammer again, smashing it down on the killer with the power of thunder.
Seeing this, everyone stopped thinking about the relationship between Blitzcrank and the killer; they just wanted to fight.
Without the Doran's Sword, Mu Bai could only rush forward with the Hextech Revolver and empty the magazine at the previous cut.
“I thought you couldn’t find Blitz.” He said to Ike while firing his gun.
"Hehe, I almost couldn't find it." The latter scratched his head sheepishly. "I looked for it for several days without success, but then I happened to run into it on the road when I came here alone."
"It's good that you made it." Mu Bai gave the other person a grateful look.
Actually, Ekko's encounter with Blitzcrank wasn't entirely due to luck.
As a rescue robot, Blitz's highest command is "protect humanity." With such a commotion here, it's bound to come.
What's more, the person causing this trouble is its "father".
"Step back, Blitzcrank!" Viktor's furious voice boomed from the Killer's mouth. "I am your creator, I am your master!"
"Protect humanity."
Upon hearing Viktor's voice, Blitz hesitated for a moment before his raised fist landed on the killer's face.
The mandate to protect humanity is paramount.
"Then you should die with them!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful force suddenly erupted from the killer's body, forcefully overturning all the people crowding around him.
Jess, unwilling to give up, wanted to continue the pursuit, but before he could get close to the killer, the force pushed him away again.
"Anti-gravity device!" He immediately thought of the experiment he had done with Victor.
For the killers of today, gravity has become a "universal thrust," and the closer they get to it, the greater the thrust they experience.
Long-range attacks will be propelled the moment they come into contact with an anti-gravity field, thus affecting the firing direction and making it difficult to hit the target.
As for melee attacks, that's even more impossible; you can't even get close enough to do that.
"Foolish!" Victor cursed through the mouth of the Killer, then spurred the Killer to run wildly in the original direction.
Looking at its massive silhouette, Ike suddenly remembered what lay at the end of that direction—a giant Hextech crystal manufacturing plant.
"Its target is the Hextech crystal factory!" he shouted urgently. "It wants to detonate the Hextech crystals inside!"
These words immediately caused panic among the crowd. Especially those ordinary people being evacuated, their eyes filled with fear.
The power contained within Hextech crystals is self-evident; a crystal the size of a thumb exploding is enough to flatten an entire house, let alone an entire factory...
Ironically, this factory is one of the largest in Piltover, jointly built by the cities of Zaun and Piltover. It stands directly above the Zaun Breathing Station and serves as a crucial interface connecting the two cities.
If an explosion occurs, the area being razed to the ground would be a minor issue; the most important thing is that it could destroy the cliff and the breathing station.
In this way, the mid-level plaza located directly below Piltover would be swallowed up by endless boulders and industrial waste, causing incalculable casualties...
"Mr. Mu Bai, come with me into the time field!" Ike threw a small ball at the Killer with force. Three seconds later, the ball exploded, creating a relatively static time field in front of the Killer.
Just before the killer was about to enter the time field, it seemed to sense something and suddenly leaped up, using a jump height of more than ten meters to bypass the time field.
“This… big guy, hook it!” Ike hurriedly patted Blitz again.
Upon receiving the instruction, the latter immediately launched his right hand, attempting to grab the killer back.
However, this time the killer was on guard. With a small movement, he easily dodged the hook while simultaneously slashing with his sword, directly crippling Blitzcrank's mechanical arm.
No one can stop him.
Guns, artillery fire, blades, hooks... all attacks are ineffective against it.
In an atmosphere of panic and despair, everyone instinctively turned their gaze to the young man holding the broken sword.
Everyone was looking at Mu Bai, while Mu Bai was gazing northwards across the street.
Finally, when the killer was less than 300 meters from the Hextech Crystal Factory, two figures appeared at the end of the street.
"Mu Bai, I've brought the person over!"
Vi lifted Cage Ross with her strong arms, running and shouting. Although she didn't know why Mu Bai insisted on seeing Code C now, he had given the order, so she did as he instructed.
"Regional Governor Cage Ross, that's the code name you're looking for, C!"
"Received." Mu Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

Chapter Seventy-Five: Goddess of the Wind
The Enlightenment Rune hidden in his chest grew increasingly agitated, and Mu Bai also felt a violent and scorching energy.
The pain was far more intense than when he first fused with the Enlightenment Rune, almost causing him to fall into a coma.
His consciousness gradually detached from the real world and sank into the depths of his heart, like a withered leaf falling in the middle of the sea, where all he could see was azure blue, vast yet serene.
The energy of the Enlightenment Rune broke free of its shackles and violently poured into this fragile body, but Mu Bai could barely feel it anymore.
He opened his eyes above the "sea" and glimpsed a strange, transparent cuboid.
The cuboid was filled with murky energy the same color as the ocean—Mu Bai recognized it; it was the energy bar that enabled the Enlightenment Runes to support time travel.
At this moment, the energy in the energy bar is rapidly decreasing, at a rate that is hundreds of times faster than usual.
With each decrease in energy, Mu Bai felt his physical body and magical power become stronger.
No… He wanted to reach out and stop the energy from dissipating, but he didn’t even have hands now; he was just a pure consciousness.
This made him uneasy.
The depletion of his energy bar means he will be forcibly sent back to the future world, but he still has many things to do.
Ugh... I've been screwed over by this damn system again...
There was no mention that unlocking rune amplification would consume energy...
Mu Bai watched helplessly as the energy bar rapidly depleted, many visions of the future flashing through his mind—
