The scarab was not a living creature but a mechanical one, crafted by hollowing out a scarab's body and filling it with gears and parts. It exuded mechanical and mysterious vibes, a representative of the steampunk world.
As the mechanical scarabs emerged from Robben's clothes, they immediately unfurled their wings. The sound of rotating gears filled the air, and they flew directly towards Bai Ye.
Bai Ye retreated while waving his hand, attempting to ward off the mechanical scarabs. However, as he swung his arm, one mechanical scarab clung to his forearm. Then, from its tail, a silver needle suddenly shot out and pierced Bai Ye's arm.
Bai Ye frowned, looking at his arm. After being pricked by the mechanical scarab, a small red dot appeared on his skin, accompanied by a tingling sensation.
Meanwhile…
More mechanical scarabs converged on Bai Ye. He immediately raised Yong Zhen Nan Huang and swept it, shattering seven or eight mechanical scarabs.
But the mechanical scarabs were too numerous. They could fly and crawl, approaching Bai Ye from all directions and angles. Bai Ye destroyed the scarabs in front of him, but two flew in from behind and landed on his neck, their tails extending fine needles. Other scarabs quickly crawled from the ground onto Bai Ye's lower leg, extending fine needles and piercing his skin.
At this moment, Robben also got back on his feet, raising his broadsword and slashing at Bai Ye.
*Clang!*
A crisp ringing sound echoed as the "Three Feet Invincible" effect of Yong Zhen Nan Huang activated, repelling Robben. However, the opponent was relentless, lunging forward the instant he was pushed back.
This time, Bai Ye did not let Robben get close.
Seven-Colored Sword Qi (generated by the Seven Swords, emitting seven-colored sword qi, eight at a time, with a 10-second cooldown per use) 138 Reading Network.
A humming sword cry suddenly sounded. The seven-colored flying swords vibrated in the air before slashing downwards.
Seven-colored sword qi descended from the sky, continuously striking downwards.
*Boom, boom, boom…*
The sword qi hit the ground, creating continuous, deafening roars. The surrounding ground instantly shattered, sending countless fragments flying in all directions.
Robben quickly retreated, creating distance to evade the attack, then raised his palm…
Two brass spheres suddenly appeared and were tossed into the air by Robben.
Tumbling in the air, mechanical sounds emanated from within the two brass spheres. Their tops opened, and a propeller popped out. As the propellers spun, the two brass spheres took flight.
Helical Robot II.
As a chosen one from the steampunk world, Robben's expertise was not in swordsmanship or close-quarters combat.
Or rather, these were combat abilities he had gained after entering the World Battlefield, as were the improvements and enhancements to his physical attributes. When he first entered the World Battlefield, Robben's physical attribute scores were not much higher than Bai Ye's.
Because, the chosen ones from the steampunk world were most skilled in…
Mechanics!
The helical robots flew in the air, then three hidden compartments opened, revealing three black cannon barrels as thick as fingers.
Seeing the seven-colored sword light approach again, Robben immediately shouted, "Fire!"
*Bang, bang, bang!*
The sound of gunfire erupted. The cannon barrels of the two helical robots began to charge energy, then fired white beams of light that collided with the seven-colored sword light.
A continuous barrage of explosions filled the air, with fragments of white energy light scattering downwards, pure and flawless like snow, appearing extremely beautiful.
Bai Ye was somewhat surprised. Those two helical robots were something!
They were equipped with energy weapons from the future technology world.
However, they were too small!
The helical robots were inherently small, and their cannon barrels were only as thick as fingers. Therefore, the energy beams they fired were only slightly more powerful than Bai Ye's pulse pistol beams, and their penetration was inferior.
Thus, the two helical robots did not intend to directly confront the Seven-Colored Rainbow Flying Swords but rather to delay the sword light's continuous assault on Robben.
Robben, meanwhile, seized the opportunity to charge at Bai Ye again.
He thrust his broadsword forward, adopting a lunging stance.
"Fang Thrust!"
Robben charged rapidly, thrusting his broadsword forward.
*Clang!*
A crisp clash of weapons rang out again as Robben's sword struck Yong Zhen Nan Huang once more.
Robben grinned ferociously and said to Bai Ye, "Had enough? Still trying to hold on?"
Bai Ye looked at Robben with a bewildered expression. "What are you referring to?"
"Heh, you think you can pretend nothing's wrong and be fine?" Robben said. "Are your limbs feeling cold? And your body starting to move uncontrollably? Even though your brain reacts, your body can't keep up? That's because you've been hit by my nerve paralysis toxin!"
Bai Ye revealed a look of sudden realization. "So those mechanical scarabs' needles were poisonous."
Robben laughed heartily. "You only realize it now, isn't it too late?"
Bai Ye was silent for a moment, then looked at Robben. "You seem to have misunderstood something."
Large patches of purple venom seeped out from Bai Ye's pores, quickly covering his entire body. It even flowed down his body and onto the ground.
*Hiss, hiss…*
The floor immediately hissed, showing signs of being scorched.
Bai Ye said, "Poison… it seems to have no effect on me."
As he spoke, Bai Ye raised Yong Zhen Nan Huang and swept it forcefully forward.
*Clang!*
Yong Zhen Nan Huang struck Robben's broadsword. The immense force, combined with the repelling effect of Yong Zhen Nan Huang's "Three Feet Invincible," sent Robben flying again, crashing into the office area and smashing an office desk.
Bai Ye clenched his fist, cracking his knuckles, and then threw a punch.
"Let me teach you what real poison is!"
A large amount of venom was sprayed forward the moment Bai Ye threw his punch. It rapidly condensed, forming a venomous dragon that lunged at Robben with bared fangs and claws.
Seeing this, Robben quickly rolled on the ground.
But…
The moment the venomous dragon hit the ground, its body shattered, and the venom splashed outwards. A large patch of venom landed on Robben's lower leg.
"Ah!"
Robben's expression changed drastically. He let out a pained scream, his entire face contorted in agony.
