You guys are called the Divine Beast Sect?

The spear landed, and the psionic energy dispersed!

Just two seconds later, eight bright tail flames appeared behind Red Snake!

Without time to change armor, the Peak Maid Group, only managing to ready the Annihilation Cannons and grab their Crystal Core Greatswords, descended like divine soldiers, crashing uniformly in front of Red Snake.

Peony pulled up the spear thrown by Wang Jixuan and casually swept it forward, creating a whistling sound as she softly praised:

"Wow, Peony suddenly understands humanity's interpretation of the phrase 'beast heart in a human face'..."

"Tenfold speed formation change!"

Seven maids leaped forward in unison. As they spun, their skirts fluttered and their long hair swirled, exuding an indescribable beauty as they stabilized into the Seven Star Array.

Greatswords pointed forward, Annihilation Cannons charging!

The four Beast God Faction Psionicists who were still mobile tilted their heads in sync, staring at these eight Loyal Wingmen dressed in maid outfits who had entered the battlefield.

To be honest, it wasn't just them who were stunned.

Even Red Snake, curled up and covering her head behind them, and Uncle Tai, peeking out from the wreckage of the aircraft, were bewildered at this moment.

The two S-Class Psionicists spoke respectively:

"They are Human Advanced Mechs."

"Kill the traitor! The Master does not permit betrayal!"

The two 'beings' attacked simultaneously!

Peony charged forward with her spear, heading straight for the weaker Pseudo S-Class Psionicist.

The sword array formed by the seven maids had already locked onto the stronger Pseudo S-Class Psionicist. Seven figures charged forward at once, their all-around shields simultaneously activated, with magnetic halos appearing behind each of them!

The moment they engaged, the two S-Class Psionicists were caught completely off guard.

Although the Loyal Wingmen's weapon systems were restricted, unlike Combat Machines like Ling Tong which were directly equipped with high-lethality weapons, the energy configuration of Loyal Wingman R99 itself was superior to that of ordinary Half-Human Mechs.

Their strength, speed, and reaction capabilities were also higher than Half-Human Mechs with less than sixty percent modification.

The Maid Group attacked with full force. Even wielding seven sharp alloy longswords or short-range light blades, combined with the tenfold speed positional changes of the Seven Star Sword Array, they could suppress and defeat Filly.

What's more, they were currently wielding Crystal Core Greatswords and carrying three Individual Soldier Annihilation Cannons!

This S-Class Psionicist, who could control sand and earth, didn't even have time to use his abilities. Before his eyes, the Seven Stars flashed erratically, with four or five greatswords thrusting and slashing at him within a second.

These greatswords could even unleash streaks of slashing light!

Sword energy crisscrossed!

The S-Class Psionicist's body began to bleed profusely!

Panic seized him, and his body exploded with a bang, turning into quicksand thirty meters away.

Seven mechanical maids, dressed in maid outfits, black and white stockings, and wearing cat-ear headbands, flew low, wielding swords and charging forward with the momentum of a sword array!

The Seven Star variations were executed to their absolute extreme by the program!

The greatswords in their hands were like seven stars, with the embedded crystal cores being activated by the formation itself!

The S-Class Psionicist yelled:

"Help me quickly! Damn it!"

The four A-Class Psionicists attempted to advance, but the Maid Group ignored them.

They were not afraid of mental shock, nor the blinding sandstorms. Their defensive capabilities could directly withstand that kind of psionic lightning. The two A-Class physical enhancement Psionicists who could hinder their actions simply couldn't keep up with their speed.

Annihilation Cannons fired at close range!

An approaching A-Class Telekinetic Psionicist barely dodged, but was hit in the shoulder by an Annihilation Cannon. His right shoulder instantly melted, and he cried out in pain, looking down!

The weaker S-Class Psionicist was now being held back by Peony!

Peony wielded the spear, loaded with spear-fighting techniques, mimicking Wang Jixuan's previous spear-killing movements. The tip of her spear swept out a series of spear lights.

While she couldn't suppress this weaker S-Class, she could prevent him from advancing to support.

She also occasionally uttered a few words, her tone calm and her expression elegant, yet it continued to infuriate her opponent.

"Why do you address the Blade Beasts as Master? Are you desperately yearning for a Master?"

"Do you have some physiological or psychological defect that makes you crave twisted affection?"

"Peony feels some sympathy for you. It must be difficult for you to be a dog for the Blade Beasts! After all, calling you a bad person would be an insult to the word 'person', you bad dog."

"Get lost!"

The Psionicist went mad and launched a lightning attack.

Peony's two ahoge (cowlicks) stood up on her head, completely ignoring this level of electric shock.

Peony only learned a little bit from Captain Zheng, Peony thought to herself.

The Peak Maid Group landed and unleashed their might!

If they were given ample preparation time, equipped with Filly's X Armor's light blades, and augmented with high-energy laser cannons and advanced Annihilation Cannons, they could even take on Mo Feng and Xing Tian!

Loyal Wingman R99 was truly the culmination of the D5 Comprehensive War Zone's mechanical technology!

Just as Red Snake was starting to doubt if her 'Human-Soul Blade Beast' path was the wrong one;

Just as Uncle Tai and a few other research personnel were cheering themselves hoarse inside the safety sphere;

The sky suddenly erupted with chanting.

A faint golden light appeared in the air, and seven figures clad in black armor plummeted from the sky. Magnetic halos lit up behind their armor, slowing their descent. The seven individuals leaped up and joined the fray.

The Seven Star Array, psionicist version, made its reappearance!

The Buddha Hall Squad locked onto the S-Class Psionicist that Peony was fighting.

Peony disengaged and found an A-Class Psionicist, smiling gently:

"It seems you're the only one left for me to fight."

She gathered power beneath her feet, and with a dull thud, the ground collapsed in a small area. She shot forward like a cannonball, her spear thrusting ahead. The A-Class Psionicist roared, his body covered in scales, his arms crossed in an X. He took the spear's impact head-on, but was still forced to scrape along the ground, retreating!

Zheng Shiduo, clad in X Armor, descended from the sky. He didn't dare to charge forward recklessly, only moving to engage an A-Class Psionicist.

Red Snake displayed her powerful regenerative abilities. The King-Class Crystal Core greedily absorbed psionic energy from the air and ground, giving her the strength to fight again.

She leaped up and joined the battle, beginning to hunt down the remaining two A-Class Psionicists.

The transport plane hovering in the sky maintained its holographic invisibility, its rear cargo bay open.

Wang Jixuan watched the scene below, estimating that it would take about two to three minutes to directly resolve these six individuals.

Their abilities and the peculiar circulation routes of their internal psionic energy piqued Wang Jixuan's interest.

Six new species of psionicists!

Well, he couldn't say that, it would be disrespectful to his opponents.

These six were actual traitors!

'The opponent might possess abilities similar to earth-bending.'

Screech--

The X Armor sealed itself onto him. Wang Jixuan summoned the Demon Helmet and put it on. Just as he was about to leap down.

"Please wait a moment," Shen Qionglin called out from beside him, stopping Wang Jixuan.

Daoist Wang turned to look at Shen Qionglin.

Shen Qionglin asked with disbelief, "Did you persuade that Sub-King Class Blade Beast below to surrender?"

"That's a bit complicated," Wang Jixuan shook his head. "It involves some secrets about Blade Beast Crystal Cores. If you perform well later, I'll share them with you, but you're still in your trial period."

"Mm, that's reasonable."

Shen Qionglin let out a soft sigh, a spark of excitement igniting in her eyes:

"But... this is incredible, you actually have such amazing samples! I suddenly have the illusion that the Psionic Capital has become obsolete!"

"It is indeed an illusion."

Wang Jixuan said simply:

"Because humanity has never stood with them.

"Humanity's ability to fight Blade Beasts relies on total mobilization for war, on shell after shell fired from cannons, and on various weapons developed by research personnel.

"You can observe the combat style of Peony and the others. They are Loyal Wingmen with their weapon systems阉割ed. They haven't been equipped with weapons that match their internal energy because they tend to lose control.

"If the Psionic Capital were to push humanity to the brink, Old Fu would bear the risk of this loss of control.

"We'll talk more later, I'm going down to join the fight."

Shen Qionglin reminded him, "If my senses are correct, the psionic energy within you is only at B-Class level, and that's after you just completed a minor promotion."

"This promotion wasn't fully completed."

Daoist Wang became a little annoyed when this was brought up.

He had intended to break through to the Void Return Realm in one go, a state that was rare and hard to come by.

Still, it was fine. He didn't lack insights anyway. He'd just need to find the right feeling later and pick up where he left off. It wasn't a big deal.

"Aren't you going to make a move?" Wang Jixuan asked.

"I'm a research talent," Shen Qionglin said dismissively.

Why did that sound so familiar?

Daoist Wang gazed at the chaotic battle below. Two S-Class Psionicists were each heavily injured. Compared to Filly, their psionic energy reserves were sufficient, but their actual strength was far inferior.

Wang Jixuan said nothing more and leaped down.

At the Half-Step Void Return stage, the power of Dao could already begin to manifest.

The wind howled in his ears, and the swirling yellow sand magnified rapidly in his eyes!

Flame jets erupted from the soles of the X Armor's feet and its back simultaneously. He didn't slow down, charging straight into the fray. Just before landing, a layer of fire ignited around him.

Like a comet falling to earth!

BOOM!

An explosion and shockwave scattered outwards, and Wang Jixuan cut into the center of the battlefield.

In the tail compartment of the transport plane in the air, Shen Qionglin, wearing a dark blue maintenance suit, pouted slightly.

"Is showing off also part of strength?"

At this moment.

The several psionicists from the Beast God Faction were already retreating steadily, entangled by the human forces, unable to fully withdraw.

What Wang Jixuan needed to do was not to directly fight them head-on.

But rather...

To seal off the battle!

He stood up from the bottom of the pit he had created, his spiritual sense covering the entire scene. The fighting in various places converged in his mind, and everyone's movements seemed to be in slow motion.

The three pouches on the waist of the X Armor opened simultaneously, and talismans flew out.

Wang Jixuan rapidly formed hand seals.

[Great Evolution Heart Sword]!

Two sword lights shot out, locking onto two A-Class physical enhancement psionicists. Two seconds later, they arrived in front of their foreheads!

With two muffled groans, the movements of these two 'people' faltered. Their foreheads throbbed with pain, and they clutched their heads, screaming!

Peony's spear thrust forward, and Red Snake's bladed limb chopped down. One person's throat was pierced by the spear, and another's body was cut in half!

The talismans Wang Jixuan unleashed condensed into several long snakes!

The heavily injured A-Class psionicist was the first to be hit, surrounded by a talisman snake.

The talisman snake exploded simultaneously!

He desperately used his psionic energy to resist the surrounding attacks, but a wisp of pale true fire strangely bypassed his psionic shield and directly ignited his soul.

[Evil-Breaking True Flame]!

The A-Class psionicist screamed and struggled, like a fish that had accidentally jumped into a desert.

Peony swept her spear horizontally, and a head flew backward.

Then, Peony turned and charged towards the last A-Class psionicist.

Most of the talismans Wang Jixuan had thrown had already surrounded this psionicist within a three-layer radius.

Wang Jixuan flicked his sword finger forward!

Talisman spells were unleashed together, and half of the magic power within his body was rapidly drawn out. Spiritual energy in the air converged rapidly!

Explosive Flame, Ice Condensation, Lightning Summoning, Earth Piercing!

Four spells cast simultaneously!

The A-Class psionicist was overwhelmed, being hit at a steady pace. Peony and Red Snake had already targeted this person and attacked simultaneously.

Wang Jixuan looked at the two S-Class psionicists again.

The stronger one was covered in sword marks, displaying powerful regenerative abilities. His wounds healed quickly, but at this moment, he looked like a bloodied mess.

He was not proficient in using his abilities, and now he was being beaten by the Maid Group with no chance to retaliate.

The weaker one was about to be captured by the Buddha Hall Squad.

The stronger one gasped for breath, his eyes flickering slightly.

Trying to escape?

Wang Jixuan had long noticed this person's ability to control sand and soil. Recalling the description in the previous distress message, it was Red Snake who discovered them, and they had emerged directly from the desert...

It was obvious they could use earth escape techniques.

Wang Jixuan didn't know where their abilities came from, but it didn't matter.

He could counter them.

Wang Jixuan took a deep breath and slowly floated up from the sand pit. Two General-Class Blade Beast Crystal Cores floated around him, supplying him with spiritual power.

Half a step into the Void Return Realm, although his personal strength wouldn't increase significantly, it was a comprehensive improvement.

His primordial soul was stronger, his Dao Body had begun to form, and he had the foundation for enlightenment, allowing him to practice natural laws.

This was also the main reason why only those in the Void Return Realm could perform escape techniques.

After letting Xing Tian escape last time, Wang Jixuan was actually somewhat annoyed; the same thing could not happen a second time.

Let's see the true Daoist Wang!

He carried his left hand behind his back, holding his right hand's sword finger vertically in front of him. Although he was not as elegant and dashing as he was in his previous life with his green robe and long hair, the X Armor provided excellent defensive capabilities.

He chanted:

"Heaven is round, Earth is square, laws and principles of the nine chapters. Yin and Yang harmonize, forming the Two Forms and Four Symbols.

"Mystic Tortoise True Body, resist the cold and condense ice! North Gate Descend God, seal demons and protect life!

"Swift as the law commands!"

Finished chanting, the spell takes effect!

Kinoe's magical power was almost instantly depleted!

It was as if the Goddess of Nine Heavens descended from the sky, clapping her hands upon the earth. Within a radius of six hundredzhang, tiny ice particles appeared in the air, frost covered the ground in layers, and the spiritual energy in this area was frozen solid.

The movements of the two S-Class Psionicists became incredibly slow.

The stronger S-Class Psionicist, with a ferocious expression, endured the Peak Maid Group's assault and transformed into a gust of yellow sand, intending to burrow into the ground.

But in the next instant;

This gust of yellow sand slammed into the ground, which had already turned ice-blue!

He revealed himself, his face filled with disbelief. He looked down at the frozen earth, realizing he had lost his connection to it. This subtle connection had always given him a sense of security…

Puchi!

A long sword, glowing with a green light, pierced the S-Class Psionicist's heart from behind.

Puchi, puchi puchi!

Seven long swords pierced him in succession, the entire process completed within two seconds.

Seven mechanical maids leaped back, quietly watching the figure impaled with swords. Not daring to relax, they raised two Annihilation Cannons.

The Psionicist's body slowly collapsed…

On the other side, the weaker S-Class Psionicist's head was directly severed by Ji Xiao, splattering red and green blood from the wound.

A fist-sized Brain-Eating Worm crawled out of the fallen head and immediately attempted to fly towards Ji Xiao.

A Demon-Breaking Dagger shot out from the side, shattering the Brain-Eating Worm.

Kinoe took out two blank talisman papers, drew Soul-Capturing Talismans, and flicked them towards the two strange S-Class Psionicists.

This was the first time his Soul-Capturing Talismans had failed.

There were no soul fragments or even the slightest memory within them.

"Hmm?"

Daoist Wang was somewhat puzzled, but a brief probe with his Spiritual Sense revealed the problem.

He had discovered six Crystal Cores within these six Psionicists…

These Crystal Cores were located in their abdominal regions, likely hidden within their stomachs. The Crystal Cores within the two S-Class Psionicists were comparable to those of a Sub-King Class.

'No wonder the spiritual energy within these six Psionicists was circulating, rather than the tidal surge like Mo Feng and Xing Tian's.'

'No, this…'

For a moment, Kinoe didn't know how to describe it.

Were the Beast God Faction Psionicists who had previously defected from the Psionic Capital modified by Blade Beasts?

Just then, Kinoe heard Red Snake's roar in his heart.

"You guys are the Beast God Faction?!"

Red Snake rushed to the corpse of the weaker S-Class Psionicist, its mouthparts opening wide. In a ferocious frenzy, it was about to swallow the thing…

"Whoa!" Kinoe quickly warned, "Don't eat random things! It's dirty!"
