This was due to Lin Xiao deliberately adjusting his body just moments ago to evade the attack.
Otherwise, that single strike would have pierced through his shoulder.
A troublesome fellow.
Lin Xiao merely had this thought, his speed increasing once more. This time, his fist, imbued with the Ninefold Strength, landed on Kasa's chest!
But…
This time, Li Xin sensed something amiss.
His hand didn't feel like it landed on a chest, but rather like a ball of cotton. The moment he made contact, the fellow's body shot out like a cannonball.
"Force redirection?"
For the first time, Lin Xiao discovered this cyborg possessed such a technique.
Kasa adjusted his body mid-air, performed a backflip, and landed on his feet.
Boom!
The spot he landed on seemed to explode, and Kasa's body launched towards Lin Xiao like a missile.
The human skin on his hands had already vanished.
In its place were metal fists.
"Mechanical?"
Beitang Li and Ximen Huanyan were ready to intervene. The situation had escalated to the point where it seemed this cyborg was going all out.
"Terminator mode, no regard for wear and tear. Eliminate Lin Xiao."
This voice emanated from Kasa.
It sounded like a computer, mechanical and devoid of any emotional inflection.
Boom!
Lin Xiao's body dodged. This time, he didn't try to counter. His sixth sense told him he absolutely could not engage head-on.
His sixth sense saved him.
The punch created an explosion in the air!
"This guy is a war machine," Beitang Li murmured after a moment of silence.
"Indeed."
Following this, Kasa became like a modern war machine. Heat weapons continuously emerged from his mouth, eyes, and hands, and explosions erupted all around Lin Xiao.
Moreover, Kasa's movement speed had nearly doubled, making it impossible for Lin Xiao to keep up.
He could only dodge.
"Damn it."
Lin Xiao had long known Kasa's appearance here wasn't just for him to win and return. Regardless of the outcome, Kasa was supposed to execute an order: kill him.
If he won, this guy might self-destruct.
If he lost… he would be dead.
This was why he had initially wanted the three seniors to lead everyone away, to avoid them being caught in the destructive energy.
Boom!
Two lasers streaked past his body.
These were harder to evade than bullets.
Kasa's energy consumption was completely disregarded; all weapons were deployed.
Dozens of missiles flew from Kasa's back, and his body suddenly accelerated at this moment, an additional twenty percent faster than before!
In fact, his legs, unable to withstand the immense power unleashed by this burst, bent at an unnatural angle at the calves.
Kasa seemed to be without pain, his sole objective remaining.
To kill Lin Xiao!
Too fast.
Lin Xiao believed his true qi's explosive power was unparalleled, yet at this moment, the true qi he instantly unleashed couldn't create enough distance for him.
"Lin Xiao!"
Beitang Li roared, simultaneously moving to intercept the cyborg.
However, both his and Ximen Huanyan's actions were too late.
