This almost made the Iron Arm Ape's eyes turn red.

But, not only could it simply not touch the little Paperman, even if it could, the little Paperman's Fairy Flight Skill was the nemesis of all physical attacks. Just like how Elementalized Pet Beasts countered physical Pet Beasts. This kind of counter could, much of the time, ignore some disparity in Realm.

However, something Su Ping never expected happened.

Seeing the situation had reached a deadlock, the Beast Tamer in the black jacket gave an order, and the Iron Arm Ape actually abandoned Qian Yi directly. Ignoring Qian Yi's rapid attacks, its sturdy arms now bearing several deep, charred wounds that exposed the bone, it charged straight toward Su Ping!

A chill went through Su Ping's heart.

Who on earth wanted him dead this badly?

Almost immediately, Su Ping thought of Mu Yu from earlier that day.

But how could he dare? This was Dragon Nation!

Su Ping's fury was irrelevant; this was a true matter of life and death.

Yet, Su Ping knew he could always trust Qian Yi.

The evolved little Paperman, beneath its conical hat—its face instantly changed to a diamond 3.

Three swords were drawn at once.

The Wind Sword plunged into its chest, while the Thunder Sword and Fire Sword were held in its hands. Simultaneously, a dazzling sword light bloomed from the little Paperman's body!

Mutated Sword Heart!

This could double the effect of the next sword-type Skill used!

Undoubtedly, this was the little Paperman's true hidden trump card!

Qian Yi Whirlwind!

Instantly, the revolving Qian Yi, like a spinning top imbued with the power of thunder and fire, appeared behind the Iron Arm Ape. The sharpened edges of the two Paper Swords seemed capable of grinding everything nearby into dust. That included the Iron Arm Ape!

Even for an Iron Arm Ape that had reached Commander Level, its charging speed significantly decreased at this moment. And the Qian Yi Whirlwind, now in front of it, drew closer and closer!

Finally, the Iron Arm Ape stumbled, then was suddenly flung backward toward Qian Yi! It was like a piece of raw meat thrown into a rapidly spinning blender. Large amounts of fresh blood and shredded flesh flew from the edges of the swords!

"AARGH!"

The painful howl, having just burst through the dark night sky, stopped abruptly!

The head of the Iron Arm Ape, minced by the three swords of thunder, wind, and fire, soared into the sky.

The spinning little Paperman gradually slowed down.

The face that had been a diamond 3 reverted to its usual two-dimensional appearance: (((φ(◎ロ◎;)φ)))

Su Ping watched the dizzy little Paperman. This time, however, its silver-gray body was stained crimson with the blood and flesh of the Iron Arm Ape at its feet. It presented a particularly stark contrast.

The Pet Beast was dead!

This was the little Paperman's first true kill.

And it was also Su Ping's first true kill!

Su Ping turned his head to look at the man in the black jacket.

As Su Ping expected, the man's face had turned extremely pale, and he was bleeding from all seven orifices.

This was the price for the death of a Soul-Contracted Pet Beast. Even if the Beast Tamer didn't die, his soul would be gravely wounded!

However, there was not a hint of pity in Su Ping's eyes. In fact, they were even colder than before.

Then, he suddenly realized something.

The man, who had been almost crazed, suddenly raised his head. A hideous smile spread across his scarred cheek.

A sensation even more terrifying than before surged through Su Ping's heart. As if he had realized something, he recalled Xiao Qing and the little Paperman back into the Beast Taming Space with the greatest possible speed.

However, it was clear the man had noticed his actions but was not at all in a hurry. Instead, he simply ripped open his jacket!

Sure enough, strapped to the man's body was a mechanical countdown timer.

There was no question what it was. A Mechanical Weapon! He actually used a Mechanical Weapon! Crazy! Damn it, where on earth did the person behind this find such a lunatic!? Such a suicidal attack... Did they really not fear blowing this whole thing wide open?

Clearly, the man, his face completely smeared with blood, was thoroughly enjoying the sight of Su Ping finally panicking. The countdown on the timer showed only five seconds left!

With only five seconds, it was clearly impossible for Su Ping to escape.

Yet, just as Su Ping's thoughts were racing, a light shone brightly.

It was his big toy: Black Blood!

Lights rapidly flickered on Black Blood, as if desperately trying to catch Su Ping's attention.

Undoubtedly, it had succeeded—or rather, Feifei had succeeded.

Su Ping lunged behind the car door, which had already opened automatically, and sprawled in an ungraceful position directly onto the cockpit!

"Master, initiating emergency measure: spatial teleportation ability! I have selected the nearest hospital location for you! Farewell, Master!"

Feifei, the car's artificial intelligence, spoke in its familiar voice—the same voice Su Ping had been casually chatting with just ten minutes prior. Its lively voice carried an indescribable vivacity and agility.

At this moment, Su Ping's racing heart finally settled.

A hair's breadth from death! This was truly a hair's breadth from death.

He had previously thought that the spatial teleportation ability Dong Muyun had installed was rather pointless. Now, it seemed it had saved his life at this critical moment.

However, Su Ping quickly realized something:

"Feifei, what about you and Black Blood?"

However, before he could receive an answer, the few seconds passed too quickly.

Everything before his eyes began to blur. These were the ripples and vortices of space. The nighttime highway scene before him slowly disappeared within the ripples.

In its place, he found himself in a bustling lobby.

But Su Ping was stunned.

Because in the final instant of the spatial teleportation, at the other end of that spatial ripple, an incomparably massive explosion thundered not too far in the distance. Boundless flames filled his entire field of vision on the other side of the spatial ripple.

The next moment, all of it, including the sound, vanished.

Looking at the hospital lobby, Su Ping felt dazed for a moment. He was still in the same position he had been in when he lunged into the cockpit. Passersby, moving in and out, gave the young man who had suddenly appeared strange, puzzled looks.

Yet Su Ping paid them no mind; for the first time, his gaze was somewhat vacant.

He knew.

The Mechanical Core that, just over ten minutes ago, had said it 'feared pain the most,' the artificial life form that claimed it could serve its master even from within the car...

Feifei.

It had taken his place in that explosion, apparently shattering into pieces along with the supercar.
