Apocalyptic Mechanist

And the most intimidating, without a doubt, were those two Electromagnetic Tanks!

"Hmph, Old Capital Killing God, what a boastful name. Didn't that Pan-Human Hunter have to flee from us? Does a mere human think he can charge our lines alone?"

On the outer perimeter, a Tier 1 Peak Martial artist, holding a mounted sniper cannon, spoke dismissively.

The sniper cannon in its hand had killed three Tier 2 Regular Martial Artists!

"They're telling us to rest less and increase our vigilance these past few days. Honestly, I think the higher-ups are just too afraid of dying. Kliffen was right, they're just cowards."

"Keep your voice down. There have been flying craft from the TV tower around Kasar Street Block these past few days. If they hear you, you might find yourself shot in the back and forced to commit suicide."

The Alien controlling the sniper cannon pouted and said no more.

It looked towards the end of the straight main road, perfectly aligned with the setting sun about to fall behind the distant buildings.

The dim light, tinged with a sense of melancholy, shone directly at them, but it had no effect on the Alien wearing goggles.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, a surprised exclamation rang out.

Nearby Aliens all looked towards the Alien with the sniper cannon. "What is it?"

Then they saw the Alien's expression shift from confusion to outright horror.

"They're here, they're here!"

"Who's here?" Many Aliens looked into the distance.

"The Old Capital Killing God is attacking from the front, and there's someone else with him!"

Thousands of Aliens were shocked, but the Tier 2 Alien leading them scoffed.

"From nearly a kilometer away, the Electromagnetic Tank's intelligent targeting system only needs 1.2 seconds to calibrate. At this distance, even a Tier 3 Martial Artist couldn't dodge!"

"..."

The air was silent. The Tier 2 Alien waited for more than ten seconds but didn't hear the roar of the Electromagnetic Tanks. Its expression changed slightly.

"What's going on? What are Unit Three and Unit Four doing?!"

"Three and Four, fire quickly!!"

Suddenly, the entire position erupted into chaos.

"Kasar Street Block, I'm back."

Jiang Xiao, walking slowly and unhurriedly not far away, let out a cold laugh. His powerful Source Energy Aura erupted instantly, causing the ground to tremble slightly!

The next moment, a silver-blue light, like an immortal's flying sword, swirled around him.

At the forefront of the Alien position, an Alien wielding a heavy machine gun screamed in terror over the comms.

"They're charging! They're charging!"

"Open fire, free fire, stop them!!"

"No!!"

RUMBLE!

The hundreds of meters distance vanished in an instant. With terrifying power, Jiang Xiao, like a tank, smashed through the concrete fortifications, piercing the Alien swarm like heavenly light breaking through the clouds!

He unleashed a bloody storm.

The buzzing Chainsaw Sword swung at a speed that was impossible to follow. Dozens of Aliens were cut to pieces before they could even fire.

THUMP THUMP THUMP!! While killing, Jiang Xiao pulled out his Source Energy Bombard Gun and quickly pulled the trigger. Each Source Energy bullet landed in the enemy ranks like a bomb!

In just a moment, the position that had been preparing to organize a defense was forcibly broken apart.

Not far away, at the edge of the position.

A small figure slowly stepped into the area. Her crimson eyes, illuminated by the setting sun, were like bloodshot eyes, filled with a cold glint.

An Alien, who had been firing at Jiang Xiao in the distance, caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of its eye and instinctively turned its head.

Its expression froze instantly.

"It's the Hunter! The Hunter is alive!!"

Chapter 47: Attention from the Starport

No Alien paid attention to its exclamation, or rather, they didn't have the mood to!

Following the end of the Wicked Soul Market incident, the danger posed by the Old Capital Killing God had long surpassed that of the Pan-Human Hunter, whether among the ordinary criminals of Sin City or the various gangs!

Moreover, most of the lower-level gang members and criminals had never seen the Hunter in action, and their understanding of her strength was based mostly on hearsay.

But the Old Capital Killing God was different. All of his fame was earned through sheer killing, in full view of everyone!

BOOM BOOM BOOM!!

Hundreds of Electromagnetic Rifles, grenade launchers, and heavy machine guns roared furiously. The intense explosions almost completely drowned out Jiang Xiao's figure. The heavy machine guns, said to be capable of penetrating armored jeeps, only managed to create ripples on Jiang Xiao's Source Energy Aura when they hit him.

The dataization of his body evenly distributed the minimal impact and shock damage across his entire body.

With one sword, he diagonally cleaved a fleeing Tier 1 Peak criminal in half. He casually glanced at his health, which had dropped by 12%, and then the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon instantly finished charging, sweeping a blue-yellow ray in a circle!

The explosion surged, and the shockwave tore apart over a hundred gang members, silencing more than half of the machine gun turrets on the defense line.

Just then, Jiang Xiao's finger paused on the trigger of the bombard gun.

[Teammate has killed a Tier 1 Elite gang member, gaining 158 Experience Points (Friendly kill, experience gain reduced by 50%).]

[...]

Huh??

I get experience points even when a teammate kills an enemy?!

Could this be the correct way to gain large amounts of experience?

Lost in thought for a moment, over a dozen machine gun shells hit Jiang Xiao consecutively. He walked out of the intense explosions and flames as if unaffected, casually sending a bombard shot that sent the machine gun operator flying.

[Health: 80%]

Jiang Xiao put his thoughts aside and focused on clearing the aliens before him, his Origin Data continuously invading dozens of drones.

The next moment, dozens of drones carrying a large amount of grenades plunged headfirst into the area with the most criminals.

RUMBLE!!

Explosions echoed.

Jiang Xiao felt an immense sense of exhilaration. His chainsaw sword, moving in afterimages, created a curtain of blood in the air. Precise bombard shots continuously smashed into the alien horde, and the rays from the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannons flashed like shooting stars.

For a time, the alien criminals on the defense line were filled with despair.

The beings they were surrounding seemed less like flesh and blood creatures and more like incredibly powerful, cold, and emotionless mechanical soldiers, driven only by slaughter.

A highly rational, desireless slaughter.

Suddenly, as Jiang Xiao was about to swing his sword again, he saw the alien before him swell up violently, then collapse onto the ground like a puddle of mud.

Looking around, it wasn't just the one in front of him.

Dozens of criminals within a hundred-meter radius simultaneously turned into boneless mud.

Then he saw Xi Guang, her pretty face serene, walking over. Without any visible action, she simply passed by the criminals, and one by one, they sprayed blood and fell to the ground.

"A divine skill that disintegrates the criminals' organs and bones, perfect for clearing fodder," Jiang Xiao marveled.

He then put away his Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon.

He watched as Xi Guang finished off the last two hundred-plus regular gang members.

With that, out of the more than twelve hundred criminals, only a very small number who fled into the alleys were spared; all others were slaughtered.

The total time taken was less than twenty minutes!

The defense line, which had been fortified with concrete fortifications and alloy roadblocks, was now a scene of devastation. Potholes, debris, and twisted alloy plates from powerful impacts were everywhere, mixed with shattered corpses and blood. Smoke billowed, and a deathly silence reigned.

The two of them, without a word, looked towards the depths of the Kasar Street Block.

Several minutes later.

The buzzing of a large number of helicopters and drones gradually approached.

The sound of some colossal metal object crushing the road could faintly be heard. A massive surge of Source Energy rapidly closed in, with five particularly sharp auras heading directly towards their location!

"They didn't flee, but are gathering their strength to attack proactively? How confident," Jiang Xiao said with a smile. It seemed the other side suspected that the two Electromagnetic Tanks had been tampered with, which was why they didn't attack immediately?

Without any sign of fear, Jiang Xiao calmly advanced along the main road.

He paid no mind to the mountain-like Electromagnetic Tanks in the distance.

For heavy ground equipment to hit powerful martial artists from a distance, efficient intelligent calibration and locking are essential. However, at this moment, Origin Data was in real-time coverage around him for twenty to thirty meters, making remote intelligent aiming impossible!

As for manual calibration?

If the Electromagnetic Tanks had used manual calibration the entire time, Xi Guang could have dismantled all fifteen of them from the start, without even needing Jiang Xiao to intervene!

A giant cannon that can't hit its target is just a large firewood stick.

Gazing at the numerous alien martial artist squads and dense mechanized units that were vaguely appearing in the distance, Jiang Xiao, wearing a mask, showed no expression.

With a slight mental command, Origin Data silently spread out.

Shortly after, hundreds of drones were the first to rush into the range of Jiang Xiao's Origin Data influence.

Then, as if they had hit an invisible wall, they suddenly lost power and crashed, self-destructing, completely out of control!

Seeing this, the Tier 2 Elite of the Sin City Council commanding this force couldn't help but change their expression slightly.

"Electromagnetic interference??"

Jiang Xiao gave them no chance to think. The Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon roared and transformed into a beam of light, instantly killing its way to the airspace above the Sin City Council's army!

A yellowish ray swept through the air. Dozens of helicopters had no means of resistance, and over ten of them exploded on the spot!

Jiang Xiao and Xi Guang seized the opportunity, bursting forth with incredible speed, heading straight for the chaotic Sin City Council forces. The aliens at the forefront who reacted quickly immediately opened fire, attempting to stop them.

Dense streams of fire crisscrossed, and the "dong dong" roar of rapid-fire machine guns interwove!
