Chapter 202 One Dead, One Escaped
"Sizzle!" A sharp, piercing sound rang out, followed by a dazzling flash of fire.
The sharp-edged Oxser was completely unprepared for this sudden attack; it watched helplessly as the sharp blade cleaved straight into its chest.
In an instant, a tremendous impact swept over him like a tidal wave, and his entire body seemed to lose its balance, uncontrollably tumbling backward.
Seeing this, Ma Tao was overjoyed and naturally wouldn't let go of this excellent opportunity to press his advantage.
He brandished the Molten Scale Blade, which shimmered with raging flames, and with another flash, he sped toward the Sharp Needle Oxser, who was retreating in disarray.
In the blink of an eye, Ma Tao had already rushed to the front of the sharp needle Oxser who had just barely managed to stand up.
Without saying a word, he slashed fiercely at the needle-like Oukser with the Molten Scale Blade in his hand once again.
Faced with such a fierce attack, Sharp Needle Ox was not to be outdone. He wielded his greatsword and engaged in round after round of thrilling slashes with Ma Tao.
Sparks flew everywhere, and the sound of metal clashing was deafening.
However, as the battle time ticked away, Ma Tao gradually felt his strength waning.
After all, time waits for no one; his age is a given, and his physical strength and stamina can no longer compare to those of his youth.
Moreover, after a period of fierce fighting, the energy inside the Nava Armor began to show a clear downward trend.
If this stalemate continues, it won't be long before the Nava Armor disintegrates due to energy depletion.
Realizing the situation was becoming increasingly critical, Ma Tao grew increasingly anxious.
Just then, Qin Ming's anxious shouts suddenly came from not far away: "Dr. Ma! Watch out behind you!"
Upon hearing the shout, Ma Tao's heart jolted. He hurriedly broke free from the entanglement and restraint of the sharp needle Oxser, and then quickly turned his head.
Before his eyes, he saw a hideous skeleton named Oxer, exuding a terrifying aura, wielding a thick, heavy wooden club. He leaped high into the air and slammed it down on him with the force of a mountain crushing an egg.
At that moment, Ma Tao's eyes were fixed on the scene before him, and various coping strategies flashed through his mind.
Almost instantly, a bold plan took shape.
"Hehe, this is a perfect opportunity to test just how far the Nava Armor can go!"
[Molten Flame Split!]
Having said that, as Ma Tao fully mobilized all the energy contained within the armor, the Melting Scale Blade in his hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light.
Its surface seemed to be on fire, with raging fire elements constantly gathering and swirling around it, enveloping the entire knife in scorching flames, making it resemble a roaring fire dragon.
Immediately afterwards, Ma Tao turned around sharply and backward, the movement flowing smoothly and in one go.
He gripped the blazing Molten Scale Blade tightly with both hands and swung it fiercely at the skeleton Oxer, who was baring its fangs and claws as it pounced in mid-air.
A deafening roar, like a thunderclap in the clear sky, was heard.
The massive slash, formed from fire elemental energy, hurtled straight toward the skeleton Oxser with unparalleled power.
The bewildered skeleton Ox had no time to react before being struck head-on by this terrifying blow.
It let out a scream, and its entire body flew straight back like a cannonball, instantly reverting to its vulnerable human form, and crashing heavily to the ground.
He then completely lost consciousness and fell into a coma.
Meanwhile, the sharp-needle Oxser, who was standing to the side, was caught in the shockwave of the powerful fire elemental strike and was swept away like a pile of trash.
It tumbled several times in the air before barely managing to regain its balance, but it was clearly quite frightened.
However, after this fire elemental impact, Needle Oxser seemed to suddenly regain some of his rationality and thinking ability.
It looked at its companion lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance, and at Ma Tao holding the Molten Scale Blade, and its heart was filled with fear.
It began to tremble uncontrollably, even the sharp horns on its head shook with fear.
Then, as if it had made up its mind, it turned around and ran wildly in the opposite direction without looking back. Its speed was beyond imagination, and it disappeared from Ma Tao and the others' sight in the blink of an eye.
.................................................. ..
When he saw the sharp needle Oukser turn and flee in panic, Ma Tao, who had been on edge and focused on the battle, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his whole body relaxed instantly as if a supporting skeleton had been removed.
Immediately afterwards, his Nava armor began to disintegrate automatically.
The armor plates that were originally tightly attached separated one by one, transforming into dazzling streams of fire elemental light that converged toward the summoner at an astonishing speed.
In the blink of an eye, all the fire elements merged into the summoner and disappeared without a trace.
Ma Tao was exhausted at this point, and his strength had been depleted when he unleashed his final killing move.
The reason I've been able to persevere until now without collapsing is entirely due to my strong willpower.
However, seeing the sharp needle Oxser flee in disarray, the string that had been taut in his heart finally snapped.
Unable to support his heavy body any longer, Ma Tao collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, his eyes closed, and he fell into a deep coma.
Immediately, Hong Tao and Qin Ming rushed to Ma Tao's side.
They anxiously knelt down and carefully examined Ma Tao's physical condition.
Just then, a deafening roar came from afar.
The two looked up and saw several helicopters bearing the logo of the Special Affairs Bureau speeding toward them.
Although the Special Operations Bureau's support troops set off swiftly after receiving the news, they were still late due to the long distance.
After the helicopter landed smoothly, a group of well-trained operatives filed out.
They swiftly subdued the skeleton Oxer, who had just been defeated and blasted into human form by Ma Tao and the others, and then escorted him onto one of the helicopters.
Meanwhile, several other medical team members came to Hong Tao, Qin Ming, and the unconscious Ma Tao, and helped them board another helicopter.
Accompanied by the powerful airflow and loud noise generated by the high-speed rotation of the propellers, several helicopters slowly took off, adjusted their course, and sped straight toward the Special Affairs Bureau building in the center of Harbin.
