Roman Raiders (Part 2)

The piercing claw energy tore through the air, sounding like a demonic summons from hell itself. In a mere seven to eight seconds, Gu Xiechen unleashed nearly a thousand claw strikes, tearing chunks of flesh from the seven or eight white wolves surrounding him. Blood sprayed everywhere, and the robust, bull-like white wolves were shredded into pieces by Gu Xiechen's Snow Soul Divine Claw.

A shrill scream echoed from the side. Gunshots rang out briefly before abruptly ceasing. Gu Xiechen gasped for air and looked behind him. The sight turned his eyes red.

At least two hundred mercenary soldiers had been overwhelmed by the remaining fifty-odd white wolves. Their bones were as fragile as tofu under the wolves' claws and fangs. Large pools of steaming blood splattered onto the ground. As the wolves' claws swiped, mercenary stomachs were ripped open, spilling their steaming innards onto the ground.

The mercenaries screamed, firing wildly at the white wolves within arm's reach. However, their bullets couldn't harm these bio-engineered beasts created by the Roman people. Ordinary bullets were easily deflected by the wolves' fur, and even armor-piercing rounds could only barely penetrate their bodies, drawing only specks of insignificant blood that stood out starkly against their pure silver-white forms.

Several rockets streaked in from a distance. Upon hearing about the bio-engineered beasts, the Bearded Commander personally led a battalion of soldiers to reinforce them.

A large hole was blown into the body of the white wolf hit by a rocket, its innards and a large amount of blood gushing out. Yet, it still charged ferociously into the ranks of soldiers. In the blink of an eye, this dying white wolf bit off a mercenary's head and tore through two more. It let out a venomous howl at the charging Bearded Commander before exhaling its last breath and collapsing.

Gu Xiechen and the Bearded Commander yelled loudly, engaging the large group of white wolves. Other mercenary soldiers held their ground, using grenade launchers and rockets to kill the wolves. Occasionally, a white wolf would be killed by Gu Xiechen or the Bearded Commander, and occasionally, mercenary soldiers would be torn to shreds by the swift white wolves. At other times, white wolves would be reduced to minced meat by the dense hail of bullets.

The scene was chaotic, with blood, organs, and shredded flesh splattered everywhere, dyeing the snow a deep crimson.

The Roman soldiers, previously blown away by missiles and rockets from the helicopter, quickly replaced their energy armor's power cells. Bright blue energy shields flickered to life around them again. They gripped their axe-guns tightly and advanced with smiles of impending victory. Behind them, large swathes of snow shifted as masses of soldiers in white combat suits emerged from the ground.

These soldiers, clad in white combat suits, stood between 1.6 and 1.7 meters tall, about the same height as ordinary Earthlings. They possessed exquisite beauty. Despite the intense killing intent on their faces, their features still conveyed an artistic, breathtaking perfection. With pale green skin, dark green eyes, and long, purplish-green hair, they exuded a vibrant aura akin to a morning forest. Wielding high-energy laser guns, these warriors didn't seem like killers on a battlefield but rather like elves from myths and legends!

'Spirit Race.' These soldiers of unparalleled beauty were warriors of the 'Spirit Race.'

The Spirit Race was a subservient species to the Roman people. Spirit Race individuals were naturally attuned to all sorts of energies in the world, making them innate psychics. Every Roman family had Spirit Race servants, but only the most powerful and aristocratic Roman families could afford to maintain a large number of Spirit Race warriors!

"I'll f*** your mother!" Gu Xiechen and the Bearded Commander cursed simultaneously.

The Spirit Race warriors emerging from the snow numbered at least three thousand! This alone exceeded the combined forces of the Hell Angels Mercenary Group and the guards within the power station.

A dull roar echoed from beneath the snow, and large patches of it trembled. Ten colossal beasts slowly emerged from the ground, resembling mammoths but standing over twenty meters tall. Instead of thick fur, they were covered in conical scales the size of washbasins. Each beast had six ten-meter-long, knife-sharp tusks protruding from its mouth. When they roared, their massive, gaping maws revealed layers of sharp teeth still clinging with strands of flesh.

"Damn it, the Roman people's bio-engineered beasts have upgraded again!" Gu Xiechen muttered, grinding his teeth. "Three years ago, these Guli Beasts only had four tusks, and they definitely didn't have scales!"

Gu Xiechen's teeth ached with hatred. He had participated in the secret dealings between the Gu Group and the Roman people three years ago, and the special cell source needed to cultivate the new generation of Guli Beasts had been smuggled to the Roman people by the Gu Group. "This is karma, damn it, it's really karma!" Gu Xiechen vowed inwardly, "I'll never do business with the Roman people again, damn it, karma!"

Each of the ten Guli Beasts carried a small turret on its back. The large, dark muzzles of the turrets glinted with a chilling light. Several agile Spirit Race individuals busied themselves on the turrets. Following the arrogant commands of the Roman soldiers, the high-energy cannons of the ten turrets simultaneously unleashed a beam of blue light, about a foot thick.

A 'creaking' whistling sound sent a chill down Gu Xiechen's spine. He instinctively dropped to the ground.

The foot-thick blue particle stream ionized a massive amount of air. As it exited the muzzle, a high-energy plasma cloud, about two meters thick, enveloped the particle stream. The plasma cloud, hot enough to instantly vaporize ordinary metal, grazed Gu Xiechen and the Bearded Commander's backs, striking precisely into the formation of mercenary soldiers behind them.

A fierce explosion erupted, and blue light filled the heavens. The remaining dozens of white wolves, along with hundreds of mercenary soldiers, vanished without a trace in the blue light. Ten deep craters, several meters in depth, appeared on the snow-covered ground.

The Bearded Commander spat white foam from the corner of his mouth, his heart aching. He roared into his communicator, "You sons of b******! If your reinforcements don't arrive soon, I'll report you to the military's disciplinary committee for all the bribes you've taken! Damn it! Hurry up with the reinforcements! F*** your mother, the military strength here is equivalent to at least a regular regiment of the Roman people!"

Gu Xiechen felt a wave of bitterness. A regular regiment of the Roman people? That would require at least a reinforced division of an A-class legion of the Earth Federation Army to barely contend with. Here, they only had the understrength internal security regiment of the Hell Angels Mercenary Group!

A piercing shriek sounded again. Gu Xiechen looked up and was so terrified he almost lost his soul.

The heavy artillery mounted on the Guli Beasts simultaneously targeted him and the Bearded Commander. Ten thick high-energy particle streams were about to be fired.

Grabbing the Bearded Commander, who was spewing curses, Gu Xiechen's heart rate surged to nine hundred beats per minute. A torrent of energy erupted from his Dao embryo. Ignoring whether his body could withstand the infusion of this energy, Gu Xiechen gritted his teeth and unleashed all his strength through his feet.

With a muffled thud, the skin on Gu Xiechen's feet cracked open, revealing bloody flesh. Gu Xiechen, his feet mangled, grabbed the Bearded Commander and leaped into the sky like a flea.

The ten high-energy particle streams exploded beneath their feet. Gu Xiechen felt a violent wave of heat surge up from below. He and the Bearded Commander were completely unable to control their bodies and were sent flying over two hundred meters.

With a 'thud,' the Bearded Commander, who had fallen heavily to the ground, was knocked breathless. A steel bar, lifted by the shockwave, landed precisely and pierced the Bearded Commander's thigh, impaling his legs like a roasted frog.

Dazed from the fall, Gu Xiechen had just managed to get up when a cold, emotionless voice echoed from the thick snow ahead.

"Evil Dragon? I should truly be grateful to you!"

A Roman, three meters tall, wreathed in a furiously burning blue flame, shattered the thick snow and appeared before Gu Xiechen.

Golden energy armor, astonishingly intricate decorative patterns, a two-meter-long, equally exquisite purple lightsaber, a uniquely shaped cape made of special materials fluttering behind the armor, and complex golden patterns adorning the cape – everything about this Roman indicated his extraordinary status.

Especially the patterns on his cape, which were so familiar. Gu Xiechen had seen similar patterns several times during the Gu Group's secret transactions.

"Roman Elector Family?" Gu Xiechen gave a dry chuckle.

"Borport Holsom, eldest son of the second Elector Family, the Holsom Family, greets Mr. Evil Dragon!"

The Roman's golden eyes stared coldly and ruthlessly at Gu Xiechen.

"You wretch who deserves to go to hell, I will cleave you inch by inch!"

Raising his purple lightsaber high, Borport roared and slashed down at Gu Xiechen.
