Apocalyptic Mechanist

On a rooftop somewhere, Li Yuan remained standing, silent for nearly ten minutes, watching Jiang Xiao throw Gulab's corpse out of the market and then slaughter all three Hall Masters.

Xi Ling appeared beside him at some point, also silent.

"..."

"..."

"I'm getting old..." Li Yuan finally sighed, his voice full of emotion.

"From struggling against Tier 2 Regular Martial Artists at the start to now killing Gulab... it's unbelievable that Starport would allow him onto Prison Star."

Xi Ling was even more shocked than Li Yuan. She had seen Jiang Xiao fight before. When he annihilated the Venomous Hunter Group, Jiang Xiao definitely didn't possess Source Energy on the level of a Tier 2 Elite!

The dozens of Pan-Human warriors brought by Xi Ling looked at the scene of carnage in the distance, excitedly whispering to each other.

"The Old Capital Killing God, lives up to his name. This is the first time I've seen these beasts so pathetic."

"Don't call him Killing God, call him Mr. Jiang. He's our gang's chief Mechanist!"

"Huh? When did Mr. Jiang become part of our gang?"

"..."

Suddenly, a special alert tone sounded from Xi Ling's pocket. She looked at Jiang Xiao in the distance, who seemed to be holding something and still hacking away, with a look of surprise.

Taking out her terminal, a message popped up.

#Saw you guys. Take your people to the market and rescue our kin. Also, there are many congratulatory gifts from various gangs in the market, seemingly rare items. Move them all to the Yuanjin Black Market first.

Remember to use the main entrance~☆

"...Uh."

Xi Ling looked up and repeated Jiang Xiao's message.

Hearing this, Li Yuan nodded, understanding something in his heart. He led Xi Ling and dozens of human warriors onto the main street, heading straight for the Wicked Soul Market.

Along the way, Aliens fleeing in panic from the bombardment of Thunder Cannon Floating Cannons saw the group of humans and scurried away as if they had seen ghosts.

Bzz! Bzz! Bzz!

Blue and yellow rays buzzed like rapid-fire cannons, continuously bombarding the Aliens on the street.

The group stepped on bloodstains, smelling the pungent scent of blood, and looking around at the absence of any intact Alien corpses, a strange feeling arose in their hearts.

Even during their uprising, they wouldn't have dared to treat Aliens like this. In the Interstellar Alliance, Pan-Humans were a minority group overall. Even within the Pan-Vertebrate category, the Viper Race had more individuals than the entire Pan-Human population!

If targeted by the majority of Alien races, even if their uprising succeeded, their fate wouldn't be much better.

The Interstellar Alliance was, after all, a society that valued trade and social connections. Simply being strong was useless, unless you were as strong as a higher civilization!

Looking at all this, Li Yuan knew what Jiang Xiao was trying to do.

Establish dominance.

That Mr. Jiang wanted the Spark Gang to step onto the most intense chessboard in Sin City!

Li Yuan and his group entered the venue. Jiang Xiao, who had already fought his way to the edge of the venue, was relentlessly pursuing the Alien martial artists attempting to escape.

The flying vehicles on the central television tower in the sky noticed this scene.

"Scum of Sin City, what am I seeing!"

Kliffen's large face quickly appeared on the screen, his tone impassioned:

"Unexpected, yet within reason. The Old Capital Killing God actually has a close relationship with the Spark Gang!!

The Pan-Humans of the Spark Gang, who have always been suppressed and watched in Sin City, have now welcomed another legend, even stronger, more bloodthirsty, and more disregardful of rules than a hunter!

Octopus coward, quickly look at how many pieces of rotten meat your vipers have become! I suggest we declare today Sin City Carnival Day – use Gulab's brain matter as streamers!"

Sin City was unusually quiet today, especially the Viper Gang's skyscraper.

Not a sound.

In the top-floor office, the Viper Gang Leader stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, staring intently in the direction of the Wicked Soul Market, his cigar burning rapidly.

The Viper Gang Leader remained silent, but the Viper Gang executives standing behind him felt as if they were in front of an erupting volcano, filled with terrifying pressure.

"Third Brother, find out what method that Killing God used to trap and kill the Second Brother. Until then, do not conflict with the Pan-Humans for the time being."

After an unknown amount of time, the Viper Gang Leader's muffled voice finally rang out. The Viper Gang executives breathed a collective sigh of relief.

The Viper Race member addressed as Third Brother immediately acknowledged the order.

After dismissing all gang members, the glass in front of the Viper Gang Leader, which could withstand artillery fire, suddenly shattered out of nowhere!

"Old Capital, Killing God!"

A roar echoed, and most of the skyscraper's windows exploded at that moment!

Simultaneously.

At the Sin City Council's central building.

The Octopus Chairman, dressed in a long robe, calmly watched the scene in the holographic projection.

The tall, thin figure floating behind him asked in a low voice, "Chairman, how should we handle the Kasar Street Block?"

"The Old Capital Killing God is merely a Tier 2 Elite. Gulab died by external forces, so there's no need to worry. Everything in Kasar Street Block will proceed as usual."

"Have the Viper Gang focus all their energy on the nest. Don't cause any more trouble recently."

The Chairman's tone was flat. He closed the holographic screen and dismissed the matter.

Let alone relying on external forces, even if he had the sheer strength to kill Gulab, the electromagnetic tanks in Kasar Street Block were enough to crush a martial artist who had just reached Tier 3 into dust!

Unlike the Viper Gang's outrage and the Sin City Council's indifference.

In a hidden space beneath the Black Mech Gang's headquarters, three figures watched the screen, looking rather pleased.

"The Old Capital Killing God has finally appeared. What's the next step?" the Three-armed Mechanist asked.

The Spider Mechanist said coldly, "Dispatch a squad of mechanical soldiers. I have a hundred ways to make him reveal where the Square Box is hidden!"

"We can be certain that he didn't take the Square Box out of the Old Capital. There were no traces of the Square Box in his vehicle when he left."

The Jellyfish Mechanist interrupted the other two, saying calmly, "The Square Box is useless to him. Promise resources and weapons in exchange for the location where the Square Box is buried. It's not suitable to clash with him now."

"Then let's leave it at that for now."

Wicked Soul Market.

Xi Ling stared at the scene before her, stunned for a moment. The hard concrete ground was riddled with craters and cracks. Over a hundred shops looked as if they had been hit head-on by a tank, utterly devastated.

Walls and ceilings were shattered, looking like they had been bombed by something!

Li Yuan, on the other hand, looked calm. Before he came to Prison Star, when he wasn't as heavily injured, he could have done this with his bare hands, without even using Source Energy weapons.

It wasn't until he saw the large crater, seven to eight meters in diameter, in the center of the market, and the layer of crystalline substance on the surface of the pit that his expression changed.

He touched the surface crystals in surprise, a look of astonishment appearing in his eyes.

"Plasma weapons, and at least vehicle-mounted plasma weapons!"

He had seriously underestimated Mr. Jiang's Mechanist technology. The Black Mech Gang had never shown any capability with plasma weapons before!

The most advanced technology on the entire Prison Star was electromagnetic weaponry, like the Black Mech Gang's Magnetic Step Mecha and the Sin City Council's electromagnetic tanks.

However, this plasma weapon was quite large. How did Mr. Jiang use it to kill Gulab?

Even though Li Yuan had experienced hundreds of military battles, he was deeply puzzled by this.

Xi Ling stood by, her black robe obscuring her expression.

"Chief, we've found the supplies!"

"Coming."

As time passed, the Spark Gang members moved all the supplies to the Yuanjin Black Market.

When they emerged from the Wicked Soul Market again, they could already see the dim, hazy sunset in the sky. Only a faint light filtered through the buildings and sprinkled onto the venue.

The vast venue was now completely silent, not a sound to be heard.

Only faint moans and wails could be heard from the surrounding streets, filled with despair and pain.

Within the venue, colorful blood plasma and minced flesh had turned into swamps and streams, churning and flowing.

Countless damaged and fragmented corpses were piled up everywhere. A rough estimate showed at least a thousand, with hardly any complete skeletons visible.

Atop the central mountain of corpses, Jiang Xiao briefly rested on Gulab's charred remains. In the distance, the streets and alleys were even more tragic!

The vast majority of the tens of thousands of criminals were not martial artists. They died in droves from the attacks of the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannons!

Coupled with the high mobility and explosive damage of the floating cannons, the streets within sight were filled with mangled corpses and severed limbs. Blood plasma flowed like a dozen streams, trickling towards the venue.

A terrifying stench of blood permeated for several kilometers!

The dim light of the setting sun illuminated the sea of corpses and blood. Even Li Yuan, who had seen many grand scenes, couldn't help but gasp slightly.

Many Spark Gang warriors nearly vomited, but their reverence for Jiang Xiao grew even stronger.

Heretics should be struck down with a heavy fist!

Jiang Xiao, feeling physically exhausted, waved at Li Yuan and the others.

Even though he could replenish his Spirit Energy and Source Energy bit by bit, the fatigue of his mind and spirit was not so easily dispelled.

Seeing Li Yuan and his group enter, Jiang Xiao nodded slightly.

Without speaking to them, he pointed his sword at the television tower aircraft high in the sky, as if mentioning a trivial matter, his expression calm.

"From now on, the Wicked Soul Market and the surrounding ten-kilometer area are designated as the core territory of the Pan-Human Spark Gang. All gang members are ordered to get out before dawn."

"That's all I have to say."

Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Xiao seemed to remember something. He kicked Gulab's charred corpse and added to the still-present television tower aircraft:

"Also, the Spark Gang is introducing Blade Armor Race and Viper meat cans. First come, first served. One can costs only 10 Sin Coins, buy ten get one free. No deception."

Then, Jiang Xiao, along with a bewildered Li Yuan, Xi Ling, and a group of human warriors, openly returned to the Yuanjin Black Market.

Due to the immense commotion earlier, the Yuanjin Black Market was now empty. Stalls and shop doors were closed, and all aliens had left.
