Chapter 1057: A Saber Called Hidden Scabbard

Miss F’s timely arrival finally allowed Zhang Heng to catch his breath.

He stopped in his tracks and took the item that the former had thrown at him. He tore off the oilcloth on top and revealed the Hidden Scabbard.

Before Zhang Heng left for the third floor, he had requested Miss F to take care of the inconvenient items to carry. When both parties met, Zhang Heng had asked Miss F to help him bring the Hidden Scabbard over. It was also why Zhang Heng had taken such a significant risk to approach Miss F.

This knife was the real reason why he was challenging the Type-VI robot.

Qiu Ming didn’t know if he imagined things, but his entire temperament changed when Zhang Heng held the Hidden Scabbard. The previous awkwardness disappeared, replaced by an unrivaled and powerful presence.

Qiu Ming even felt that the position of the prey and the hunter had changed.

And that wasn’t the only thing that surprised him. On the other side, the woman with the mechanical prosthetic arm and the robot had actually come to a stalemate.

Although only less than ten seconds had passed, the two sides were evenly matched.

Whether strength or speed, Miss F’s mechanical prosthetic arm matched her opponent equally.

However, because there were too many weapons that could attack the robot, Miss F did not find a good opportunity to attack. She only managed to leave two slashes on its leg.

Her alloy sword was already hard enough, but when it slashed the robot in front of her, it only left neither a deep nor shallow dent. Not long after, the dent disappeared.

This was the first time Miss F had seen a metal that could heal itself. Her expression turned slightly solemn.

With this, her hopes of gaining advantage through her cooperation with Zhang Heng were ruined. At this time, Zhang Heng’s voice came from behind her. “Leave this to me.”

“Don’t you need to rest a little longer?” Miss F asked. She could see that the chase had consumed a lot of Zhang Heng’s energy.

In the end, the latter only uttered one word. “Enough.”

Hence, Miss F used the momentum from the fight with the robot in front of her to roll backward. Seeing this, the Type-VI stepped forward, wanting to pursue the victory, but it was unexpectedly blocked by a knife-wielding Zhang Heng.

Unfortunately, its central control system could not read the difference between the current Zhang Heng and his previous iteration.

Therefore, it swung the giant sword in its right hand. This time, Zhang Heng did not dodge like before. Instead, he chose to receive the sword head-on, forcing him to retreat several steps.

With a human’s strength, it was not realistic to hope to contend against a machine.

However, Zhang Heng did not intend to win this confrontation. He only wanted to test how much harder the Hidden Sheath was compared to the Type-VI Hunting Robot. He also wanted to see if the Hidden Scabbard’s non-heal effect was still effective against the strange metal before him.

The two-centimeter-long gap at the bottom of the giant sword explained everything.

Zhang Heng moved his slightly sore wrist and raised the Hidden Scabbard in his hand again. This time, when the hunting robot’s giant sword came at him again, Zhang Heng chose to bow to avoid it. Two more metallic sickle legs, however, came slashing at him.

At that moment, Zhang Heng also pushed his pace to the limit. His calf tightened, and he leaped over the first sickle. Then, he swung the Hidden Scabbard in his hand.

The knife was so fast that Qiu Ming’s eyes couldn’t keep up. By the time he reacted, he saw that one of the robot’s legs had already left its body, spinning toward the sky before finally piercing through the wall of the building next to it.

Qiu Ming inhaled sharply. The last thing he expected was such results. Each of these robots was made from the strongest materials, after all. He was already surprised that Miss F’s alloy sword could leave a mark on the robot’s body, but to cut off one of its legs like this was a bit too much.

And this was only the beginning. Zhang Heng’s successful attack didn’t give the robot a chance to catch its breath, and he quickly cut off the second leg.

Unfortunately, the Type-VI had never encountered such a situation before. Nevertheless, seeing this, it still stretched out its leg to meet Zhang Heng head-on, thus losing another leg in just ten seconds. Then came the third, the fourth…

Losing its scythe-like legs not only made it lose its weapon but slowed the robot down considerably. Now, it had become Zhang Heng’s meat on the chopping block, unable to cause any more trouble.

Zhang Heng was like a skilled chef, quickly dismembering the eight legs of the Type-VI. All too quickly, the latter lost all its power and could only rely on its two hands to crawl.

It was only at this point that Qiu Ming finally woke up from his dream. He reminded, “Its control center is in its lower abdomen.”

Zhang Heng did not panic. He first took some time to chop off the robot’s shoulder, making it unable to move. Then, he aimed the Hidden Scabbard at the robot’s abdomen, cut through the outer shell seven times before finally destroying the control center inside, thus ending the battle.

Qiu Ming, who was standing at the side, was filled with a stupor and awe after witnessing everything.

He looked at the once formidable killing machine, now reduced to a pile of scrap metal on the ground, then at Zhang Heng, who still had his saber sheathed. After a long time, he managed to reorganize his words and exclaimed, “How is this possible? You single-handedly took out a TYpe-VI Hunting Robot? ! Are you also a simulation robot?”

Zhang Heng did not answer his question. Instead, he pointed at the robot that followed behind Qiu Ming. “What’s going on?”

“I didn’t want this to happen,” Qiu Ming said innocently, “Do you remember what I told you before? After losing the signal, this thing will continue to carry out the last command received. The last command it received should be the other police officers who followed the team. Now that all the police officers in the team are dead, only the two of us are left. It followed me closely.”

Zhang Heng looked at Miss F, who nodded and said, “I’ll take you to see Mr. G now. We can also bring this robot back with us. Let our engineers study it. Many of our comrades have already died at the hands of these things.”
