112 Ironclad Steel Fist

Laugh!

Li Aoz's arm was bitten off by a demon. With his Tachi gone, he kicked the monster away without hesitation. His massive Pegasus Wings swept across instantly, and blazing Stardust Wings surged forth, tearing apart any monsters that pounced on him like an ion cutter.

Where are you looking?!

A Cross Spear pierced through Li Aoz's spine from behind, tearing out his still-beating heart. Ryo Gūheisan, covered in blood, viciously flung the spear to the ground. Li Aoz rolled on the spot, Golden Halo spreading in his eyes, and with a gravitational hook, flung the Tachi that had slipped from his hand directly at Ryo Gūheisan.

Ryo Gūheisan stood upright like a martial god, drew his spear and planted it on the ground. Instantly, a strong aura burst forth from the spot, sending the Tachi and Li Aoz flying. Li Aoz rolled continuously to dissipate the force, and with the "Sever Life" ability, he drew life blood and took a deep breath. His arm regenerated rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. However, before he could kneel down and get up, a burst of blood erupted from his chest.

Bang—

The massive spent cartridge case was ejected, Yin Shuya coldly pulled the bolt. Blue energy gathered and compressed in the chamber like a storm. The propellant gas and energy were fully mixed. With a thought, the trigger was pulled and burst into flames. Almost without any delay, another Depleted Uranium Fin-Stabilized Discarding Sabot hit Li Aoz's armor.

Based on the self-sharpening and explosive properties of uranium, it instantly shredded and vaporized Li Aoz's armor along with his flesh and blood. His body was splattered everywhere like minced meat, and raging flames burst from his back, dragging fragments of his internal organs for more than ten meters, scattering them on the surrounding walls.

Li Aoz staggered two steps, and seeing his health bar almost empty again, he immediately scanned all the monsters in his field of vision and used [Death Link] to connect them all to his life.

Splash—

In an instant, the monsters that had been so imposing just moments before suddenly collapsed and died one after another. The 'death' that Li Aoz was experiencing was transferred to them. Since most monsters did not have Li Aoz's high regeneration ability and mimicry life form, all that awaited them was death.

One monster after another rushed forward, but before they could even touch Li Aoz, they all fell down strangely, lying prostrate on the ground, the ghostly fire in their eye sockets dimmed, and their bodies turned into black and gray spiritual dust, which scattered with the wind.

"You monster..."

Now that things have come to this, the proud and arrogant Ryo Gūheisan has become completely numb upon seeing this scene.

It wasn't the first time he'd seen rivers of blood, but it was the first time he'd ever seen a single person's blood flow like a river.

Blood, blood, it was all blood! The earth drank it down, the blood flowing freely in the cracks between the bricks, splashing and spraying on the walls, crashing against the feet like a surging wave. If a film or television censor saw this scene, they would probably die of a heart attack immediately. Even a seasoned warrior like Ryo Gūheisan felt physically uncomfortable.

"He's simply a demon... a blood monster."

The Miyamae Suzuka Miko was repeatedly attacked in the face by Li Aoz, and a chunk of flesh was slashed off her thigh. Even as a medium with a strong immunity to physical damage, she was still injured in Li Aoz's frenzied attacks, which were like those of a mad dog. The burns on the back of her hands and face proved the great threat Li Aoz.

They were all wounded, but Li Aoz, who fought valiantly, was in a state of near death, yet he still had the strength to launch counterattacks from time to time.

"Hey, Suzuka-chan."

Yin Shuya's expression was somewhat unpleasant. The shot she had just fired, linked by the [Death Link], had immediately caused her to experience damage. For someone with a fragile constitution like her, even just experiencing a portion of the Death Transfer had left her pale and nearly collapsed to her knees. She gasped for breath, coughed a few times, and looked up at the Miko, calling out:

"This guy's damage reflection ability is too strong. If this continues, we won't be able to eliminate him."

She looked at the Great Onmyoji hovering high in the air and clicked her tongue. "He's really quite leisurely. Why did he have to bring such a calamity into the country?"

"It's pointless to say anything now. Although Li Aoz's lethality is limited, his recovery ability is too strong. We need to find a way to punish him."

"For example?"

"Don't give him the chance to drain our life force."

Miyamae Suzuka spoke, she immediately cast a Smokescreen Talisman to separate Li Aoz and Ryo Gūheisan. Then, she crossed the spirit world and placed her hand on Ryo Gūheisan's shoulder. "Let's go, you bald monk. Don't let him be a blood transfusion bag for nothing."

Ryo Gūheisan cursed under his breath, but when he saw Miyamae Suzuka pointing to the rapidly approaching figure behind him, he immediately turned and left without hesitation.

Fu—

Li Aoz's greatsword tore through the dust, and in the Dominator's eyes, a vast, dark, mechanized army was immediately reflected.

"—They really can't take this lying down; they've actually deployed the regular army."

Gamma-rank individuals are ultimately powerful, but once deployed to the battlefield, they become high-level cannon fodder. The official deployment of mobile units signifies that the Sky Ring have reached their limit of tolerance and have officially begun their operation against Li Aoz.

Looking into the distance, countless scarlet lights burst forth in the sky as hypersonic missiles arrived in an instant, exploding one after another around Li Aoz. Without hesitation, Li Aoz used gravity to launch himself into the sky, constantly dodging those terrifying Hyperspeed Missile. The sky above Qiongan Capital was instantly covered in flames.

The Heavenly Ring People have proven with their actions that they are completely different from Frostplate in terms of martial virtue.

Three minutes into the battle, hundreds of drones took off to intercept Li Aoz, employing maneuverability beyond human limits to encircle and blockade him in the air. At the same time, the Heavenly Ring People turned the power of the barrier of Qiongan Capital to the maximum, and the scorching Artificial Sun completely transformed the barrier into a beam prison. Any flying object that dared to fly above 19,000 meters would be instantly vaporized by the high-temperature scorching particles.

Under such control, Li Aoz's aerial operations were severely restricted. Drones would crash directly into him, without needing to catch up. As soon as they got close, they would activate their warheads. The high-explosive drones were like aerial bomb trucks, and shrapnel and shockwaves bounced Li Aoz back and forth like a volleyball.

"What a hassle!"

Li Aoz hated continuing to fight the Sky Ring Air Force. These suicide drones, taking advantage of their low-altitude flight, were relentlessly pursuing and attacking him, and his high-speed flight was completely at a disadvantage in this environment.

The Heavenly Ring People launched a frenzied attack on him, and he soon felt Heavenly Ring People firepower—various types of anti-aircraft missiles rushed towards him, and tactical lasers calculated and predicted his path, weaving a large area of laser net in the air.

Even though beam weapons pose little threat to Li Aoz, if he tries to block the laser, the drones will immediately pounce on him. Under the powerful near-ground satellite surveillance of the Heavenly Ring People, his whereabouts will be impossible to hide.

"You're not escaping anywhere!"

After several Gamma-rank withdrew from the battle, a professional medical team immediately rushed up to provide them with the best care and treatment.

Among them, Yin Shuya was a "Ranger", suffered the least injuries. After recovering, she immediately jumped onto an aerial combat Mobile Armor and connected the energy transmission channel to her brain and spine.

"Wait a minute, Miss Yin Shuya, the crew members for this machine haven't arrived yet—"

"No need, I am a whole crew by myself."

[Link complete] The screen lit up, and the gloomy face of the Great Onmyoji Abe Tadayuki appeared in the retinal projection. He said in a deep voice, "Shuya, are the crew members not all here yet?"

"There's no time to wait for them to arrive. I'll go first."

"Then it's up to you, Shuya. Make sure you take him down."

"Learn."

Yin Shuya put on a hyperbaric oxygen mask. As Gamma-rank, she needed more oxygen and energy than ordinary people to maintain her physical condition. After taking a deep breath of a mixture of ammonia, oxygen, chlorine, and carbon, the foul-smelling gas allowed her physiological system, which was beyond human limits, to recover to its peak state.

Electrolyte ions diffuse rapidly in the blood, helping to improve the efficiency of energy transmission and making the brain clearer.

Everything was normal. Deep blue flames lit up in Yin Shuya's eyes, and her energy was transmitted to the entire Mobile Armor. The same azure light patterns quickly lit up between the gaps in the armor, the electronic eyes kept flashing, and the reactor engine made a humming sound, activating and starting up.

"PDE-'Mind's Eye' - Yin Shuya, strike!"
