Apocalyptic Mechanist

The firepower was extremely fierce, but it still couldn't stop the two figures. The alien in the front was filled with panic; they could already hear the hum of the chainsaw sword!

"Let's go together! The Killing God is only Tier 2 Elite strength, and the Hunter's injuries must not have recovered yet!"

Seeing that Jiang Xiao and the other were about to charge into the legion, the Sin City Council's Tier 2 Elites could no longer sit still. They stood up and shouted sternly.

"Hold them off and create an opportunity for the Electromagnetic Tanks and laser weapons!"

The other four Hall Masters from various gangs gritted their teeth and rushed towards Jiang Xiao and Xi Guang!

Major gangs might not care if ordinary gang members defected or disobeyed orders, as it was commonplace in Sin City. However, these Hall Masters couldn't afford to do so!

Whether it was for that plan or some other reason, they had to live and die with their gangs.

Immediately, seven Source Energy auras at the Tier 2 Elite level collided on the street, and an invisible whirlwind erupted along the entire street!

Meanwhile.

Outer orbital starport of Prison Star.

Core monitoring room.

Several monitors stared at the footage from the Kasar Street Block and discussed it with the surrounding staff. Then, the person in charge decisively got up and walked 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. His thorns retracted, and a holographic screen appeared on the desk.

"Remote intrusion to interfere with Electromagnetic Tanks, blocking drones from a thousand meters away, suspected of possessing military-grade intelligent devices from a Primary Civilization? Not ruling out the possibility of related Esper abilities?

The Old Capital Killing God and the Pan-Human Hunter? Hahahaha!"

The Warden seemed to have seen a joke.

"The so-called cutting-edge weapon of the Sin City Council, the Electromagnetic Tank, is nothing more than a pile of junk pieced together from broken parts. Only Planetary Civilizations just entering the Primary Sequence would probably take a liking to it, and their data technology is even worse under our restrictions.

I have no doubt that any Mechanist who studies it a little and dismantles a few civilian terminals could affect the homemade data equipment on Prison Star."

The Warden waved his hand: "Unless someone wants to break through industrial equipment restrictions or research weapons that can attack the orbit, don't bother me with anything else."

"Understood, understood."

After seeing the reporter leave, the Warden's disdainful expression slowly disappeared.

He brought up the file again.

It wasn't the file for the Kasar Street Block, but the file of a Pan-Human girl.

"Could Yarsophy's Pan-Humans have a hidden Esper ability of metal manipulation? It is indeed worthy of the high-risk ability mentioned in the file."

"This benefit is really troublesome. I only have a year left before my rotation, and now this problem. The Yarsophy family definitely cannot be offended, nor can I let her escape while I'm on duty. How should I handle this..."

Chapter 48: Xi Guang's Exciting Combat Style

Jiang Xiao was unaware of the Starport's actions, but he was well-prepared for it.

This time, he did not directly control any mechs to attack. Instead, he made the enemy's mechs lose control as if they were being interfered with by data. He believed that the Black Mech Gang would also have ways to achieve similar technology.

Secondly, there was Xi Guang.

The Starport's high command was fully aware of Xi Guang's Esper identity and racial background!

Her physical features and the aura of a superior life form were too obvious. It was said that Xi Guang had not even hidden her Spirit Energy aura much over the years.

Therefore, bringing her along meant that if any special anomalies occurred, the Starport would likely attribute them to Xi Guang's power.

Since the Starport dared to let a Pan-Human with such talent in, and even without imposing restrictions, it was highly probable that they were already prepared for Xi Guang to escape, and their tolerance towards her would be very high.

Unlike him and other Pan-Humans, he had no background or bargaining chips. Once discovered to have the possibility of escaping, he would inevitably face a fierce crackdown!

Jiang Xiao had made thorough preparations long before deciding to destroy the Council's legion in Kasar.

Of course, he didn't need Xi Guang to take any responsibility. She just needed to stay by his side, and incidentally, let her take revenge and vent her anger on the aliens in the Kasar Street Block, and stretch her muscles.

As for the trouble in the Kasar Street Block, Jiang Xiao was confident he could handle it alone. After all, his ultimate goal was to crush them and obtain the Electromagnetic Tanks, not to annihilate them.

Boom boom boom!!

The rapid firing of the explosive gun forced the Viper Gang Hall Master back. Jiang Xiao immediately broke free, and then more than ten sniper cannonballs simultaneously bombarded the spot where he had just stood!

Thick electric arcs and explosive waves surged and spread!

Immediately after, the sniper's position was met with a fierce bombardment from the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannons!

Amidst countless explosions and screams, Jiang Xiao gazed at the aliens he was fighting, his thoughts flowing.

[Source Energy Intensity: 89]

A master, but that's all.

Jiang Xiao quickly determined the general strength of the five Tier 2 Elites and immediately stopped holding back. The Source Energy circuits on the surface of the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannons emitted a deep yellow glow.

The next moment, the Viper Gang, Blade Armor Gang, and Council Elites, who were rapidly closing in on Jiang Xiao, suddenly saw the explosive gun in Jiang Xiao's left hand transform into a sniper rifle. A familiar red glow, like a nightmare, flashed in their pupils!

The three Tier 2 Elites were horrified.

"Mysterious Sniper!!"

A crimson streak of light flashed in an instant, and Thunder Cannon rays struck at a speed they couldn't react to, leaving no room for escape! The rays pierced directly through the Blade Armor Hall Master's body, incinerating its torso.

Meanwhile, the bullet, fired at three times its normal speed, carried terrifying kinetic energy and instantly sent the Viper Gang Hall Master flying over ten meters, embedding it into a wall.

'Not dead? Tier 2 defensive equipment?'

Jiang Xiao was surprised. Defensive equipment was extremely rare on Prison Star; at least, he hadn't seen any before.

Before he could figure out how to finish them off, the Sin City Council's elite martial artists attacked again. This elite martial artist with a Source Energy Intensity of 93 was indeed a bit troublesome for Jiang Xiao.

In a head-on clash, relying on his slightly superior Talent Value and the overloaded Chainsaw Sword, Jiang Xiao could only barely gain the upper hand.

Of course, it was only a bit troublesome.

Two Thunder Cannon rays, emitting a yellow glow, struck the Council elite consecutively. The powerful destructive force caused the Council elite's Source Energy to vibrate, nearly scattering it.

It immediately adjusted its Source Energy Aura and was about to charge forward again when a dark muzzle appeared right in front of its face.

BANG!!

It dodged narrowly. As soon as it regained its senses, the second and third Thunder Cannon rays continued to strike. Jiang Xiao took the opportunity to distance himself, holding the Black Dragon and controlling the Floating Cannons to continue bombarding it.

In close combat, the Chainsaw Sword was faster for dealing with regular enemies at this stage. His strongest attack methods had always been the Black Dragon Sniper Rifle and the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannons!

There was no dramatic, drawn-out battle. Facing the high-speed Thunder Cannon rays and Mach-high bullets, the Council elite was finally reduced to minced meat by a single bullet amidst its enraged roar!

"Heh, a martial artist." Jiang Xiao chuckled.

He turned to look at the Viper Race Hall Master, who had been severely injured by a shot. Under its terrified gaze, he raised the Black Dragon and blew its head apart with a single shot.

[Killed...]

Three Tier 2 elites provided over 14,000 experience points, with the Sin City Council's elite martial artist contributing the most!

Jiang Xiao looked towards another core battlefield. Xi Guang, surrounded by invisible fluctuations, was fiercely suppressing two Tier 2 elites with extremely sharp combat skills!

Staring at a small, one-and-a-half-meter-tall loli with white hair and red eyes, who stomped and shattered several meters of concrete ground with one kick and shattered the opponent's Tier 2 ordinary Source Energy Equipment with a palm strike, Jiang Xiao was stunned.

Judging by the skilled combat techniques, this was clearly Xi Guang's long-standing fighting style!

Wait, close-quarters extreme martial arts?

Shouldn't Particle Destruction be played like a mage?

Could I have misunderstood the meta?

He didn't have time to think further. Jiang Xiao aimed the Black Dragon at that battlefield, and the Thunder Cannon Floating Cannons exited Origin Data Overload mode, beginning to clear out the large number of surrounding alien troops with extremely high firing rates.

Sensing that Jiang Xiao had dealt with his opponent and remembering Jiang Xiao's earlier request to leave the heads of the Tier 2 elite aliens for him, Xi Guang didn't hesitate.

The surging, solid Source Energy Aura rapidly condensed into a thin layer clinging to its skin. Its seemingly petite body trembled slightly, and the ground beneath Xi Guang's feet caved in layer by layer!

Then, under the disbelieving gaze of the huge Dragon Fang Hall Master, Xi Guang delivered a side kick that struck its shoulder with an un-dodgeable speed.

A strange disintegration effect, accompanied by terrifying force, instantly scattered more than half of its Source Energy Aura. Its body, over three meters tall, was like a cannonball, smashing through two small buildings in succession.

Facing the unconscious Dragon Fang Warrior, Jiang Xiao collected the experience points with a slightly strange feeling.

The last Tier 2 elite alien was extremely agile. Perhaps due to racial talent, its speed clearly surpassed that of other aliens, constantly disrupting Xi Guang's movements.

With all four Tier 2 elites dead, its movements began to become frantic.

However, Jiang Xiao didn't know that the real reason for its panic wasn't the death of its comrades; it was still confident it could escape with its speed.

It panicked because Xi Guang, after finishing off the Dragon Fang Hall Master, was calmly staring at its rapid movements. Its crimson pupils were locked onto all its actions, as if its proud speed was as slow as a snail.

Talent Value.

The strength it represented wasn't just Source Energy and Spirit Energy—it also related to neural reactions, intuition, vision, hearing, and more!

Jiang Xiao, with great interest, continued to clear out other aliens while watching how Xi Guang would finish it off.

It was his first time seeing the little loli in action, and it was quite a contrast.

BOOM!

Xi Guang smashed through the nearby building wall, then pulled out a piece of rebar, attaching Particle Destruction effects to it. Then, to the astonishment of the alien and Jiang Xiao, it swung the rebar like a whip, at 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, disintegrated!

Jiang Xiao once again stepped forward to collect the experience points, marveling, "I really didn't expect Little Guang to be a martial artist too."

Perhaps sensing Jiang Xiao's exclamation from afar, Xi Guang's gaze met Jiang Xiao's, then it shifted away somewhat unnaturally.

Although its expression remained largely unchanged, Jiang Xiao could still feel that Xi Guang was a little embarrassed.

"Awesome!"

Jiang Xiao gave a thumbs-up and casually pulled out the Chainsaw Sword stuck in the head of a nearby alien.

He looked at the Tier 2 ordinary aliens mixed in the crowd, hesitant to advance. Although the alien mechanized forces were still numerous and imposing, signs of collapse were clearly beginning to appear.

"Tonight is still long."
