The crowd finally understood upon seeing this.
"Your flames may be terrifying, but unfortunately, my 'Indestructible Bronze Body' is impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire. No matter how fierce your flames are, what can they do to me?"
Zhao Haoyang recovered from the numbness of the electric shock just now. This "Indestructible Bronze Body" was immune to blades, spears, water, and fire, but it couldn't fully block electric shocks. The high-voltage jolt had given him some trouble, yet the "Indestructible Bronze Body" was truly heaven-defying, neutralizing most of the electric shock's power. Anyone else hit by that high-voltage jolt would have been instantly charred to a crisp.
Hearing this, Su Li finally learned that Zhao Haoyang's ability was called "Indestructible Bronze Body." It was indeed somewhat heaven-defying. The Inextinguishable Flame, said to burn everything to ashes, couldn't even scorch this "Indestructible Bronze Body" and naturally fizzled out.
With this "Indestructible Bronze Body," Zhao Haoyang naturally feared no flames. He picked up the Red Moon Blade and charged forward again.
Although the fused being had a massive wound cut into its body, as it retreated, the wound visibly healed at an astonishing rate. By the time Zhao Haoyang reached it again, such a severe injury had already healed.
"It seems, besides the Inextinguishable Flame, ice, and high-voltage electric shock, its fourth ability is super regeneration." Su Li didn't know how many abilities the fused being possessed, but he had now seen four. With such an ability, unless it was killed on the spot, even the most grievous wounds would heal quickly.
Zhao Haoyang had initially thought the fused being was severely injured and he could easily slay it. He never expected that in just a single breath, the fused being had fully recovered. Slightly startled, but relying on his heaven-defying "Indestructible Bronze Body," he feared it not. Taking a deep breath, he gripped the Red Moon Blade and charged again.
Zhao Haoyang's speed increased once more. The Red Moon Blade in his right hand became a blur as he slashed five times in an instant.
This was a special ability he possessed, similar to Gong Xiao's "Mantis Fist," allowing him to launch five attacks with his right arm in an instant. Now, he combined it with the Red Moon Blade, effectively delivering five slashes in a flash.
Almost as Zhao Haoyang swung his blade, the fused being raised its right hand, and a large number of semi-transparent frozen blocks materialized into an ice shield in front of it.
Zhao Haoyang's five slashes mostly struck the ice shield, producing a grating sound. The shield shattered into pieces, sending ice shards flying everywhere.
The fused being's left hand released another high-voltage electric shock, blue-white lightning arcing toward Zhao Haoyang.
With a roar, Zhao Haoyang stomped his foot, causing faint cracks in the concrete floor. His "Indestructible Bronze Body" underwent a new transformation, entering a more powerful second form. The bronze-colored muscles on his body shifted impossibly, like living things converging toward his left arm.
His bulging body visibly shrank back to normal, while his left arm suddenly swelled dramatically, as if all his muscles had concentrated into that single arm, forming a bronze giant arm nearly two meters long. Spreading its five fingers, this massive left arm reached into the incoming electric light.
Seeing Zhao Haoyang's astonishing transformation, many in the crowd couldn't help but gasp softly. Su Li also took a quiet breath.
This second-in-command from the Eastern Building indeed had the capital to be arrogant.
Even without the power boost from the Red Moon Blade, his own combat strength surpassed that of Jiang Xiaodong and Wang Xu.
The high-voltage electric shock from the fused being struck the extended giant left arm, producing a crackling sound. Zhao Haoyang's face twisted slightly, revealing a ferocious expression. This highly compressed giant left arm was immune to the electric shock. He clenched his five fingers into a fist and punched toward the fused being's head.
The power of this punch was terrifying, accompanied by a fierce wind howl.
"Nice!" Several people couldn't help but shout. Seeing Zhao Haoyang's left arm so grotesquely mutated, this punch must be incredibly powerful, surely capable of shattering the fused being's head.
Even if the fused being had strong regenerative abilities, a completely crushed head would mean certain death.
Zhao Haoyang was somewhat frustrated. He had thought that with the sharpness of the Red Moon Blade and his "Indestructible Bronze Body," he could catch the fused being off guard and kill it in one blow.
But he hadn't expected the fused being to conjure an ice shield from its body, blocking his Red Moon Blade and preventing an instant kill, forcing him to reveal the second form of his "Indestructible Bronze Body."
Among the onlookers, Jiang Xiaodong nodded inwardly, realizing his earlier guess was correct. Zhao Haoyang's ability to kill a monster with one slash and crack the rooftop wasn't something he could use freely; it had strict limitations and required a cooldown period before reuse.
Otherwise, in that first encounter, Zhao Haoyang could have used it to kill the humanoid monster, without needing the power of the "Indestructible Bronze Body's" second form.
Still, he had to admit that Zhao Haoyang's strength was indeed above his own, though not as overwhelmingly dominant as he had initially thought.
Just as Zhao Haoyang's giant left fist was about to hit the fused being, an unexpected turn occurred—the fused being vanished.
This full-force punch hit nothing but air, leaving Zhao Haoyang feeling a stifling pressure in his chest, an indescribable discomfort. His body swayed, nearly falling over.
At almost the same moment, he felt a tight grip around his waist—someone had grabbed him.
"Not good!" The thought flashed through his mind, but it was too late to react. His body was lifted into the air and flung away by the waist.
Most people found their eyes blurring at what happened in that instant, but Su Li saw it clearly.
The fused being had moved its body in an instant. It likely possessed some special ability similar to his own "Spider Walk," allowing instantaneous acceleration to dodge Zhao Haoyang's attack, circle behind him, grab him from behind, lift him up, and slam him down.
With a "bang," like a headfirst dive, Zhao Haoyang's head slammed hard into the concrete floor.
Protected by his "Indestructible Bronze Body," the impact still made him grunt, his head ringing, and even cracked the rooftop floor.
Blue-white electric light engulfed Zhao Haoyang. Though the high-voltage shock couldn't kill him with his "Indestructible Bronze Body," it could temporarily paralyze him, leaving him immobile.
The fused being grabbed one of Zhao Haoyang's legs, swung him up, and smashed him into the ground again.
This time, the impact was even fiercer. Zhao Haoyang roared, blood spraying from his open mouth.
Su Li took a deep breath, realizing the fused being was not only terrifying but also intelligent. It knew that while Zhao Haoyang's "Indestructible Bronze Body" was impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire, it might not withstand massive force impacts.
In fact, Zhao Haoyang's "Indestructible Bronze Body" was like Chen Xiangyu's "Steel Skin" that Su Li had encountered before—hard to damage with blades, but unable to resist powerful collisions.
When the fused being slammed Zhao Haoyang to the ground for the third time, blood not only gushed from his mouth but also seeped from his nose and ears.
Seeing this, the crowd felt disappointment in Zhao Haoyang and a surge of despair. They never expected that even he was no match for this monster.
On the rooftop, more and more high-level undead were gathering from all directions, surrounding them densely.
Once the fused being killed Zhao Haoyang, all these monsters would charge together, and everyone present would die, with no escape.
"Xiaoya, I never thought we'd die here today..." Wang Xu, severely injured, smiled bitterly, gripping Xiaoya's hand tightly, his face full of pain.
Xiaoya hugged him tightly, tears already falling from her eyes.
Zhao Haoyang's head felt like it was about to explode, his internal organs churning as if turned upside down, filled with regret.
If he hadn't tried to show off and had fled earlier, these monsters wouldn't have been able to stop him, and he wouldn't have ended up like this.
Seeing the high-level undead closing in from all sides, and Zhao Haoyang being repeatedly slammed into the ground by the fused being—a few more hits and he would be shaken to death—Su Li sighed silently and had no choice but to intervene.
He moved, sidestepping Wang Shixian in front of him, and stepped forward.
"Su Li..." Wang Shixian, seeing him suddenly step out, couldn't help calling out. Before she finished, Su Li suddenly accelerated and dashed forward.
In this situation, daring to charge at the fused being, Su Li was the first. The crowd gasped in surprise.
Who was this, rushing forward to die early?
Su Li didn't draw the Dragon Rhinoceros Sword or the Ice Python Sword but instantly entered the "Demon Muscle" and "Spider Walk" states.
He understood that the fused being was very powerful. The Inextinguishable Flame, ice shield, high-voltage electric shock, super-fast healing, and high-speed movement—these abilities combined were truly terrifying. To kill it, there was only one way: catch it off guard, be faster and more ruthless.
The fused being lifted Zhao Haoyang for the fifth time, about to slam him down, when it caught a glimpse of a figure approaching at high speed.
Startled, the fused being immediately realized something. It released its right hand, letting Zhao Haoyang fly away, and began moving at high speed, combining the "Inextinguishable Flame" and "High-Voltage Electric Shock."
Flames and lightning simultaneously appeared on its body surface, enveloping it entirely. With its high-speed movement, it covered ten meters in a flash.
Su Li took his first step, entering the "Demon Muscle" state, covering five meters. On his second step, he entered the second form of "Demon Muscle," combined with the walking state, covering over ten meters in an instant. He was right beside the fused being. As the fused being dashed ten meters, Su Li followed closely, their bodies almost pressed together.
