Crow's roar jolted everyone awake. The War God Squad reacted swiftly, each conjuring a shield and forming a circle around Lin Xiao.
Bang! Bang!
Two more gunshots rang out. Zhao Xin and Qiang Wei, who were on the outskirts, were both shot and fell to the ground, each hit in the head.
"Fuck! I told you to put your damn helmets on! Water Chicken, get them back here now!"
Following Crow's furious roar, Water Chicken charged out with his shield raised, intending to drag Zhao Xin back.
Because Qiang Wei was fully armed and her helmet had blocked the shot, her wound was not deep. She had already climbed back to her feet and was rushing this way.
"Water Chicken, cover Qiang Wei. Crow, go save Zhao Xin."
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, even Lin Xiao failed to react immediately, aside from the experienced captain, Crow.
The moment Lin Xiao came to his senses, he arranged for Qiang Wei's rescue. She had come to observe the battle; if anything happened to her, he would have no way to answer to Du Kao.
"Snipers, intercept them! Where the hell are these attacks coming from?!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Four more shots rang out, targeting the running Qiang Wei and Crow, who was preparing to rescue Zhao Xin.
At the critical moment, Qiang Wei finally remembered her ability. Just as the bullets reached her, her body entered space, evading them.
Lin Xiao also breathed a sigh of relief. Qiang Wei possessed spatial power, so she should have no problem protecting herself.
But Crow was different. Of the bullets fired from three directions, he only blocked two with his shield.
The remaining bullet burrowed into his back and sent him flying.
"Reinforce the shields! Go out in teams of four and bring them back!"
Lin Xiao saw it clearly: Crow's armor had failed to stop the bullet that struck his back.
The defense of the black-gold armor had been breached. Only weapons beyond Blazing-class could break through black gold's defenses.
Eight people charged out from the team. The shields in their hands thickened, providing full defense from all four directions.
This time, the operation worked. Though the shields were repeatedly struck by sniper rounds, they could not be penetrated.
The shields' repair capability was incredibly powerful. Any bullets embedded in them were forced out, and the shields repaired themselves almost instantly.
The bullets carried tremendous kinetic energy. If the War God Squad had not all undergone genetic enhancement, they would never have been able to withstand it; the sheer force could have shaken an ordinary person to death.
Watching the two teams return safely, Lin Xiao relaxed and began examining their injuries.
Although the bullets had broken through the liquid black-gold defense, they had not penetrated deeply. Crow was fine.
Lin Xiao's genetic serum had been developed using Hulk's blood, granting them powerful physiques and formidable defenses.
Qiang Wei's helmet had been pierced, but a super soldier's defense was also strong. Though blood streamed down her face, her injury was not severe.
Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin's injuries gave Lin Xiao a headache. The God-Slaying-class firearms used God-Slaying No. 1 Bullets. The bullets had entered their brains and inflicted severe damage on their genes.
"General Du Kao, requesting remote medical assistance."
He had no choice. Lin Xiao could no longer pretend he could handle it himself, so he contacted Du Kao, who had been monitoring the battle.
"Don't worry, Lin Xiao. Yu Qin is already preparing. The enemy is hiding in the shadows, and De Nuo No. 3 can't detect them. Be careful. I've already contacted Wukong to assist you."
After the communication ended, Lin Xiao let out a breath. At least those two idiots would survive. Once they got back, he would definitely teach them a harsh lesson. Going onto a battlefield without helmets was just asking to die.
Ge Xiaolun's and Zhao Xin's combat suits contained remote assistance systems. Lin Xiao had no way to heal injuries to super genes, so the combat suits had still been made by Du Kao, merely using black gold.
With Yu Qin treating Ge Xiaolun and Zhao Xin, there was no issue with keeping them alive. The War God Squad's injuries were much easier to handle.
The injured members each took out the powerful healing serum specially made by Lin Xiao. Their wounds would soon recover.
Lin Xiao raised his head and fixed his gaze on the void. He could sense that the enemy was there, but unfortunately, he could see nothing.
"Emotional suppression!"
Lin Xiao stopped resisting his rationality and allowed it to suppress all of his emotions.
His eyes became as still as an ancient well, while his powerful brain began commanding every cell in his body.
"Eye of Perception, read!"
Lin Xiao opened his Eye of Perception and activated an ability he rarely used: reading.
Sets of data flashed through his mind, analyzing every section of the sky and searching for the slightest discrepancies.
Suddenly, a set of abnormal data appeared in his mind, and Lin Xiao's gaze instantly turned icy.
"Lian Feng, Qi Lin, full-power Super Plasma Ray."
"Okay!"
"Okay!"
The two women answered at once. After receiving the data transmitted by Lin Xiao, they both raised one arm.
A blue ring the size of a basketball flew from the chest of Lin Xiao's Xia Lan Mecha and hovered above them.
"Super Plasma Ray!"
With Lin Xiao's furious shout, powerful energy began gathering above the palms of the three raised hands. The collision of positive and negative ions abruptly heated the surrounding air.
"Fire!"
The gathered energy had reached its limit. Thick, irregular white beams shot from their palms.
The nuclear reactor hidden in their chests began glowing intensely as it output energy at full power.
The three beams struck the blue ring hovering overhead.
All the beams were absorbed by the ring, which gradually lit up with a blazing blue radiance. An even thicker white ray then shot toward the location Lin Xiao had detected.
The colossal Plasma Ray tore through space. Its searing heat warped the air, as though an illusory, twisted world had appeared.
After striking that point, the Plasma Ray seemed to hit something solid and came to a halt.
Anything hit by the Plasma Ray would generate intense heat, and this unknown object was no exception.
A large section of space gradually turned red, and the outline of an enormous shield slowly emerged.
The Plasma Rays unleashed by Lin Xiao's group did not stop. The shield continued changing, gradually unable to hold on.
Crack!
Like the sound of a mirror shattering, the entire shield broke apart. The Plasma Ray pierced through it, grazed the stunned Sno within, and vanished beyond the horizon.
"Replace the energy source!"
Lin Xiao remained calm. An opening appeared in the armor on his chest, removing the now-dim miniature nuclear reactor.
A single strike of the Super Plasma Ray had actually exhausted all its energy.
Only after Lin Xiao installed a new nuclear reactor into Xia Lan did he look up at the sky.
"Sno."
The figure that appeared in the sky after the shield shattered made Lin Xiao frown. There was not only Sno, whose strength was unknown.
There was also a Taotie Death Warrior Mecha, along with more than a hundred Taotie warriors. It was a powerful lineup.
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
After standing there dumbfounded for a moment, Sno quickly came back to his senses and actually began applauding.
"Wonderful. Truly wonderful. I never imagined that aside from the De Nuo Civilization, Earth possessed such advanced weaponry."
"Sno, get out of Earth. Go back and serve your master. Earth will not allow anyone to lay a hand on it."
Lin Xiao's words were ice-cold. He did not know Sno's true strength; otherwise, he would have attacked long ago.
"Earthling, hand over Soton, and we can leave."
Sno extended a hand and pointed at Soton, who had been tied up like a rice dumpling. His expression also turned serious.
"Hmph. Do you think I'd let such a powerful enemy go back?"
Lin Xiao rejected Sno's demand without hesitation and turned to Qiang Wei.
"Qiang Wei, take those two and leave immediately."
"Super God Company, engage the enemy! Eliminate the invaders!"
"Lian Feng, deal with that large mecha. Qi Lin, come with me and face Sno. Crow, no matter what methods you use, kill these Taotie."
Lin Xiao's emotionless voice spread in every direction. Space rippled as Flight Wings assembled onto the Xia Lan Mecha. Lin Xiao shot into the sky, heading straight for Sno.
"Destroy the Taotie! Fight!"
Flight Wings emerged from the backs of the War God Squad soldiers. Following Lin Xiao, they charged toward the enemy formation.
Lian Feng drew her blue-gold short blade and set her sights on the Taotie Death Warrior Mecha.
Qi Lin did not advance. She widened the distance from the enemy and retrieved an azure sniper rifle from space.
This was their only God-Slaying-class sniper rifle. Named after Earth, it was called Blue Star.
