The firepower was ferocious, but it still failed to stop the two figures. The aliens at the front were panic-stricken—they could already hear the Chainsaw Sword's buzz!
"Everyone, attack together! The Killing God is only at Tier 2 Elite strength, and the hunter's injuries definitely haven't recovered yet!"
Seeing Jiang Xiao and the others about to charge into the legion, the Tier 2 Elite from the Sin City Council could no longer sit still. He rose and shouted sharply.
"Hold them back and create an opportunity for the Electromagnetic Tank and Laser Weapons!"
The other four hall masters from the various gangs gritted their teeth and followed him toward Jiang Xiao and Xiao Guang!
The major gangs might not care if ordinary members switched sides, disobeyed orders, or betrayed them. After all, that was commonplace in Sin Capital. But the hall masters could not do that!
Whether for the sake of that plan or some other reason, they had to live and die with their gangs.
In an instant, seven Tier 2 Elite-level Source Energy auras collided in the street, and an invisible whirlwind swept through the entire road!
At the same time.
The orbital starport outside Prison Star.
The core monitoring room.
Several monitors stared at the footage of Kasar Street Block and discussed it with the surrounding staff. Then, the leader decisively stood and went to the office on the second floor of the monitoring room.
"Warden, please take a look at this information."
The warden, who had three legs and resembled a red cactus, heard this. The spikes all over his body contracted, and a Holographic Screen appeared above the desk.
"Remotely interfering with the Electromagnetic Tank, blocking drones from a distance of a thousand meters, and apparently possessing Primary Civilization military-grade intelligent equipment? The possibility of a related Esper ability cannot be ruled out?
The Old Capital Killing God and the Pan-Human Hunter? Hahahahahaha!"
The warden seemed to have heard a joke.
"That so-called cutting-edge weapon of the Sin City Council, the Electromagnetic Tank, is nothing but junk cobbled together from broken parts. At most, it might appeal to a Planetary Civilization that has just entered the Primary Civilization sequence. Under our restrictions, their Data Technology is even more of a complete mess.
"I have no doubt that any random mechanist, after doing a little research and dismantling a few civilian terminals, could interfere with Prison Star's crude data equipment."
The warden waved his hand. "Unless someone wants to break through the restrictions on Industrial Equipment or research weapons capable of attacking the orbital station, don't bother me with anything else."
"Understood, understood."
After watching the reporter leave, the warden's disdainful expression slowly vanished.
He brought up the information again.
It was not information about Kasar Street Block, but the information of a Pan-Human girl.
"Could Yarsophy's Pan-Human have metal manipulation as her hidden Esper ability? It certainly qualifies as the high-risk Esper ability mentioned in the report."
"This benefit is really hard to take. I'm due for a transfer in another year, and they've handed me this trouble. The Yarsophy Family definitely can't be offended, but I also can't let her escape during my tenure. How should I handle this..."
Chapter 48: Xiao Guang's Impressive Fighting Style
Jiang Xiao was unaware of the starport's actions, but he had prepared for them long ago.
Throughout this operation, he had never directly controlled machines to attack. Instead, he made the enemy's machines lose control as though they had been disrupted by data. The Black Mech Gang probably had ways to achieve something similar.
Then there was Xiao Guang.
The starport's upper echelons absolutely knew that Xiao Guang was an Esper and knew her ethnic background!
Her appearance and the aura of a Higher Lifeform were simply too obvious. He had heard that Xiao Guang had barely hidden her psionic aura over the years.
Therefore, by bringing her along, any unusual incident would most likely be attributed to Xiao Guang's power.
Since the starport had dared to let such a talented Advanced Pan-Human in, and had not even restricted her, it had probably long since prepared for the possibility of Xiao Guang escaping. Its tolerance toward her would be very high.
He and the other Pan-Humans were different. He had neither background nor leverage. Once discovered to have any possibility of escaping, he would inevitably face a fierce crackdown!
Jiang Xiao had made thorough preparations before deciding to destroy Kasar's council legion.
Of course, he did not need Xiao Guang to bear any responsibility. She only had to stay by his side. It would also let her take revenge on the aliens of Kasar Street Block, vent her anger, and stretch her muscles.
As for the trouble in Kasar Street Block, Jiang Xiao was confident that he could resolve it alone. After all, his ultimate goal was to smash them and obtain the Electromagnetic Tank, not wipe them all out.
Bang bang bang!!
The Explosive Gun fired rapidly and forced the Viper Gang's hall master back. Jiang Xiao immediately broke away, and more than a dozen sniper shells came roaring in at once, striking the spot where he had just been standing!
Thick arcs of electricity and shock waves rose and spread!
Immediately afterward, the position of the sniper was subjected to a berserk bombardment from the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon!
Amid countless explosions and shrill screams, Jiang Xiao stared at the alien he was fighting, his thoughts turning.
Source Energy Intensity: 89
He was a skilled fighter, but nothing more.
Jiang Xiao quickly determined the approximate strength of the five Tier 2 Elites. He immediately stopped holding back, and the Source Energy Circuits on the surface of the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon radiated a dark-yellow light.
The next instant, the Viper Gang, the Blade Armor Gang, and the council elites, who were rapidly closing in on Jiang Xiao, suddenly saw the Explosive Gun in his left hand transform into a Sniper Rifle. A familiar red glow, like a nightmare, flashed in their pupils!
The minds of the three Tier 2 Elites were shaken with terror.
"The mysterious sniper!"
Crimson light flashed in an instant. The Thunder Cannon rays attacked together at a speed they could not react to, leaving them nowhere to dodge! The ray pierced straight through the Blade Armor hall master's body and incinerated his torso.
Meanwhile, the bullet that shot forward at three times its normal speed carried terrifying kinetic force. It instantly blasted the Viper Gang's hall master more than ten meters away and embedded him in a wall.
He's not dead? Tier 2 defensive equipment?
Jiang Xiao was surprised. Defensive equipment was extremely rare on Prison Star. At least, he had never seen any before.
Before he could figure out how to finish him off, the elite warrior from the Sin City Council charged over again. This elite warrior, with a Source Energy Intensity of 93, was genuinely troublesome for Jiang Xiao.
In a head-on fight, relying on his slight Talent Value advantage and his overloaded Chainsaw Sword, Jiang Xiao could only barely gain the upper hand.
Of course, it was merely somewhat troublesome.
Two yellow-glowing Thunder Cannon rays struck the council elite in succession. Their powerful destructive force caused his Source Energy to tremble and nearly collapse.
He immediately adjusted his Source Energy Aura and was just about to charge again when a dark muzzle pressed against his face.
Bang!!
He dodged away by a hair. The moment he recovered, the second and third Thunder Cannon rays came at him without pause. Jiang Xiao took the opportunity to retreat, raised the Black Dragon, and controlled the Floating Cannon to keep bombarding him.
Close combat had been faster for dealing with miscellaneous enemies using the Chainsaw Sword at his current stage. But his strongest attack methods had always been the Black Dragon Sniper Rifle and the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon!
There was no dramatic back-and-forth battle. Faced with the high-speed Thunder Cannon rays and high-Mach bullets, the council elite was ultimately blasted into minced flesh by a single bullet amid his furious roar!
"Heh, a Martial Artist." Jiang Xiao snorted with a laugh.
He turned to look at the Viper Clan hall master, who had been heavily wounded by a single shot. Under its terrified gaze, he raised the Black Dragon and blew its head apart with one shot.
Killed...
The three Tier 2 Elites provided more than fourteen thousand Experience Points, with the elite warrior from the Sin City Council providing the most!
Jiang Xiao looked toward another central battlefield. Xiao Guang, surrounded by invisible ripples, was using extremely sharp combat techniques to viciously suppress two Tier 2 Elites!
Watching the one-meter-fifty, white-haired, red-eyed little girl stomp one foot and shatter several meters of concrete ground before striking directly with her palm and cracking the opponent's Ordinary Tier 2 Source Energy Equipment, Jiang Xiao was stunned.
Judging by those well-practiced combat techniques, this was clearly Xiao Guang's long-standing fighting style!
Wait, close-quarters Extreme Path Style?
Shouldn't Particle Destruction be played like a mage?
Could my understanding of the current version be wrong?
With no time to think further, Jiang Xiao raised the Black Dragon and aimed at that battlefield. Meanwhile, the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannon withdrew from Origin Data overload mode and began clearing the large number of surrounding alien troops at an extremely high rate of fire.
Noticing that Jiang Xiao had already dealt with his opponent and recalling Jiang Xiao's earlier statement that he would leave the heads of the Tier 2 Elite aliens to her, Xiao Guang did not hesitate.
Her surging, condensed Source Energy Aura rapidly compressed into a thin layer clinging tightly to her skin. Her seemingly petite body trembled slightly, and the ground beneath Xiao Guang's feet collapsed in layers!
Then, under the incredulous gaze of the massive Dragon Fang Hall Master, Xiao Guang executed a Side Kick at an unavoidable speed, striking its shoulder.
A strange disintegration effect accompanied the terrifying force, instantly dispersing most of its Source Energy Aura. Its more-than-three-meter body flew like a cannonball, smashing through two small buildings in succession.
Facing the unconscious Dragon Fang Warrior, Jiang Xiao collected the Experience Points with a somewhat peculiar feeling.
The last Tier 2 Elite alien was extremely agile. Perhaps because of its racial talent, its speed was clearly greater than that of the other aliens, and it constantly disrupted Xiao Guang's movements.
As the four Tier 2 Elites died one after another, its movements immediately became frantic.
However, Jiang Xiao did not know that the true reason for its panic was not the deaths of its comrades. No matter what, it had some confidence that it could escape by relying on its speed.
What it panicked over was that Xiao Guang, having dealt with the Dragon Fang Hall Master, calmly stared at it as it moved at top speed. Her crimson pupils locked tightly onto every one of its movements, as though the speed it took pride in was as slow as a snail.
Talent Value.
What it represented was not merely the strength of Source Energy and psionic energy—neural reactions, instincts, eyesight, hearing, and more were all related to it!
Jiang Xiao cleared out the other aliens with interest while watching how Xiao Guang would finish it off.
It was his first time seeing the little girl fight. The contrast was rather striking.
Boom!
Xiao Guang smashed through the wall of the building beside her, then pulled out a length of rebar and imbued it with the Particle Destruction effect. Under the astonished gazes of the alien and Jiang Xiao, she swung the rebar like a soft whip. She threw it from an extremely tricky angle, completely sealing off the alien's next move!
"Ah!!"
A shrill scream rang out. The swift alien's entire lower body, along with its Source Energy Aura, shattered!
Jiang Xiao stepped in again and collected the Experience Points. His tone was full of amazement. "I really didn't expect Xiao Guang to be a Martial Artist too."
Perhaps she had heard Jiang Xiao's exclamation from afar. Xiao Guang met his gaze, then shifted her eyes away somewhat unnaturally.
Her expression still showed little change, but Jiang Xiao could nevertheless sense that Xiao Guang was a little embarrassed.
"Cool!"
Jiang Xiao gave her a thumbs-up and casually pulled the Chainsaw Sword from the head of the alien beside him.
He looked toward the Ordinary Tier 2 aliens mixed into the formation, who now did not dare advance. Although the alien mechanized forces were still numerous and imposing, signs of collapse had clearly begun to appear.
"Tonight is still a long way from over."
