Apocalyptic Mechanist Section 27

The blade and fist scraped past, spitting out sparks.

Immediately after, the supervisor's body suddenly stiffened, a look of shock welling up in its eyes.

The next moment, its massive head fell.

[Killed Black Mech Gang Supervisor (Tier 2 Normal), gained 1780 experience points]

"I figured I should be pretty famous in Sin City."

Ignoring the mechanical corpse that crashed to the ground, Jiang Xiao flashed a chilling smile and looked at the increasingly chaotic aliens around him. A silver-blue stream of light shot out from the burning shop and hovered in the air.

Since he had already made his move, he couldn't be bothered with any lingering worries or chain reactions.

Tonight, he wanted to hunt to his heart's content!

He threw the experience points into his Source Energy Intensity, and his depleted Source Energy instantly recovered to its peak. The Source Energy circuit of the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon gradually shifted from blue to yellow.

"Not good, that's the Old Capital Killing God! I recognize that mask! The Old Capital Killing God!"

"What, he's really here?!"

"No!!!"

The hum of the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon tore through the night sky. A sapphire light wave swept across like the Grim Reaper's scythe, and the intense blast instantly tore more than a dozen aliens to shreds.

Immediately after, the second light wave finished charging, cutting a dozen fleeing aliens in half! Intestines and mecha fragments vaporized in the high temperature, and the pungent smell of burning instantly permeated the entire market!

"Think you can escape?"

Jiang Xiao grinned sinisterly and swung his combat blade, charging directly into the densest area of criminals like a cannonball. His two combat blades danced, their cold glints interweaving.

Whether they were martial artists or not, any alien was within his attack range!

"Charge! Charge! We can't let him keep destroying the market!"

Three armored jeeps quickly sped over from not far away. The dozen or so fully armed Mech Martial Gang members had no idea what had happened. They had only received orders from the supervisor not long ago.

Jiang Xiao didn't pause at all. With a flick of his wrist and a chop, he killed alien after alien. At the same time, he turned the muzzle of the Thunder Cannon, and the dazzling yellow light of overload spewed out. The three armored jeeps and the aliens on them merged into one under the explosion.

His Source Energy Intensity increased by one point immediately, and his largely depleted Source Energy was restored again.

The Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon maintained its peak firepower state throughout!

Explosions, flames, and colorful blood flowed on the ground like an oil painting.

Suddenly, Jiang Xiao's eyes narrowed. He felt two powerful auras rapidly approaching from upstairs in the market!

BOOM!! A large hole was blasted through the ceiling, and two dark figures leaped down. The Source Energy Aura unique to Tier 2 martial artists surged, and the mechanical prosthetics covering at least sixty percent of their bodies lit up, converging into terrifying power.

Tier 2 normal martial artists, sigh, another five hundred pounds of body with less than three ounces of meat.

"How dare you cause trouble in the Mech Martial Gang's territory, you have such big guts..."

Origin Data surged, and a flash of blade light appeared.

Two mechanical corpses fell to the ground with a thud.

Surveying the devastated Evil Soul Market and seeing no more valuable prey, Jiang Xiao no longer lingered. He quickly stripped the core components from the three mechanical bodies and finally disappeared into the night, illuminated by the raging fire.

Some aliens, hiding in corners in abject fear, trembled as they took out their terminals and began to notify their respective gangs.

Not long after, a piece of news exploded throughout Sin City.

—The Mech Martial Gang's Direct Market was attacked by the Old Capital Killing God. Four Tier 2 normal martial artists, forty-one Tier 1 martial artists, and over four hundred gang members died on the spot!!

The quiet night was shattered by countless gasps of surprise.

At the Viper Gang's headquarters, a Viper Race martial artist with an incredibly powerful aura smashed the tabletop.

"Old Capital Killing God! I didn't expect you to actually dare to come to Sin City!"

Chapter 30: Closed-door Cultivation, Upgrading Equipment

Sin City - Central TV Tower.

Kliffen, who was constantly mocking the prisoners of Sin City and reporting the news, suddenly's eyes lit up.

He immediately grabbed the microphone and said mysteriously, "Whoa, you scumbags, I've got some bad news and some even worse news. Which do you want to hear first?!"

A wave of curses erupted from the various bars and public platforms in Sin City.

Kliffen's tone rose, "Then let me tell you all, the bad news is that there is no good news, hahahaha!!

The even worse news is—

Guess what? The Old Capital Killing God is in Sin City!! Yes, you queers and scumbags didn't hear wrong, that Killing God has already graced Sin City with his presence, and he made a huge mess right off the bat!

He burned down the Mech Martial Gang's direct market and killed four Tier 2 martial artists. This Sin City, full of mongrels and cowards, finally has a tough guy!

Oh ho ho, the Viper Gang's snakeheads need to be careful now. Your snakehead vice-leader seems to have quite an opinion of him. Be careful you don't get sent to your death as cannon fodder~

Mmm, and the cowardly old geezers of the Council Sunset Squad, you'd better lift your blankets and check before you go to sleep tonight. Don't wet yourselves from fear.

Hahahahahaha!!!"

Kliffen's manic laughter echoed throughout Sin City, but most of the criminals were in an uproar.

Sin City has seen its share of butchers.

People killing each other over the slightest disagreement is common, but a Killing God who could slaughter Tier 2 martial artists on a large scale? That was a first.

Tier 1 martial artists could still be taken down by a coordinated assault using firearms and electromagnetic weapons, but what about Tier 2 martial artists?

At least, the weapons most criminals in Sin City carried wouldn't do much damage to a Tier 2 martial artist.

"Sin City's going to descend into chaos again. I wonder how many gangs will rise and fall this time."

"Has Sin City ever not been in chaos?"

"..."

Spark Bar.

The huge bar was filled with shadowy figures, yet not a sound could be heard. They remained frozen in the same posture, silently watching the television screen hanging from the ceiling.

Xi Ling withdrew her gaze and looked at Li Yuan behind the bar. The two exchanged no words.

"..."

"I thought you just got back from Mr. Jiang's place less than half a day ago?"

"Mhm..."

Li Yuan sighed helplessly. "I didn't expect Mr. Jiang to be so bold. It seems we underestimated his killing intent towards the aliens. I wonder what he went through to develop such intense hostility towards them."

Xi Ling thought of Jiang Xiao during the massacre of the Venomous Hunter Group and mused, "I suspect that besides his disgust for aliens, he seems to gain something from killing."

Hearing this, Li Yuan's eyes flashed with sharpness, and he nodded slightly.

"In any case, let's avoid the Yuanjin Black Market for the next few days. We'll contact Mr. Jiang remotely and ask if he wants to take shelter at Spark Bar."

"I understand."

Mechanical Workshop. Jiang Xiao ended his communication with Xi Ling.

He calmly looked at the air in front of him. "Personal Panel."

[Total Experience: 10231]
[Source Energy Intensity: 59 (307/1000)]
[Spirit Energy Intensity: 36 (781/1000)]

The Spirit Energy experience gained from Long Ya of the Viper Race and from studying knowledge had significantly boosted his Source Energy Intensity and Spirit Energy Intensity.

Especially his Source Energy Intensity. With the boost from his Talent Value, his actual strength was enough to rival a martial artist with 70 points. Combined with the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon in overload state, he could even contend with Tier 2 elites head-on!

Looking at his total experience, Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment before finally deciding to raise his Spirit Energy Intensity to 46 points, reaching the Tier 1 Peak.

A warm current surged through him, and Jiang Xiao gritted his teeth, enduring the discomfort.

After a short while, the discomfort receded, replaced by an indescribable sense of comfort that filled his mind.

[Source Energy Intensity: 60 (319/1000)]
[Spirit Energy Intensity: 46 (0/2500)]

With a slight movement of his will, a flow of garbled code, clearer than before, faintly swirled around his fingertips. An invisible wave spread out about four to five meters around him!

"Not bad."

Besides the increased range, Jiang Xiao believed he would be even harder to detect by scanning equipment from now on. It was time to plan how to rescue Xi Guang.

The sooner this was done, the better.

Looking at the map of Kasar Street Block given by Xi Ling, Jiang Xiao contemplated.

A frontal assault was unlikely. Even if he couldn't be locked onto, the operator could manually control it. He wouldn't bet on whether the other party's reaction speed was fast enough to hit a Tier 2 martial artist.

They had opportunities for trial and error, but he didn't. The electromagnetic tank's massive caliber meant that even a Tier 3 martial artist would have to think twice about facing its frontal assault.

Hmm... and a frontal assault wasn't necessary.

The real difficulty in rescuing Xi Guang lay in finding her. According to Xi Ling, communication between the Spark Gang and Xi Guang had been cut off long before he arrived in Sin City. Currently, all they knew was that Xi Guang was still alive; no other information was available!

"If I could find Xi Guang, maybe I could get her out without anyone noticing..." Jiang Xiao's eyes lit up.

This was indeed a good plan. As long as the Sin City Council didn't know Xi Guang had escaped, that massive mechanized force would likely remain stationed there for a long time.

It might even serve to tie up the forces of the Sin City Council and the Viper Gang to some extent, and those troops would also be good experience monsters.

"Find Xi Guang..."

Taking out the terminal goggles he had carried for a long time, Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment and tried injecting a larger amount of Origin Data.

The radar range immediately began to expand, and the battery consumption accelerated. Finally, it barely maintained a radius of about 700 meters.

"The range is barely enough, only lacking lock-on. Coincidentally, the sniper scope components of the electromagnetic rifle have relevant technical data. Perhaps I can adjust it a bit."

The sniper scope of the X-21 was a specialized individual terminal, so Jiang Xiao had some understanding of such detection terminals.
