Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums rang out across the battlefield in the trial zone.
It sounded as if a theatrical troupe was about to take the stage.
"What's that sound?"
Yang Kui looked around. "It sounds pretty creepy."
"It should be something Deputy Captain Bai made." Zhang Tianyi's gaze drifted toward the red-veiled mech, "Bridal Escort." "I heard the captain mention it before. He said Deputy Captain Bai's anomaly could already achieve Full Liberation."
Li Yuqing inhaled softly. "I wonder what a fully liberated anomaly looks like."
Murong Xuan smiled. "We'll know soon enough."
Suddenly.
All four of them sensed something at the same time and looked toward the rear, where Shusi stood.
On the chest of that overlord, a section of sword tip had somehow pierced out from the center of the human-faced beast soul.
Then the sword tip began to shine.
With a boom, flames erupted.
Shusi let out a shriek and tore itself away from the sword tip, staggering as if it were about to fall.
The flames on its chest continued to burn, but the lumps of flesh on its neck suddenly began to writhe. They reached the wound and desperately squeezed inside.
Not only did they fill the wound, they also extinguished the flames, leaving behind an ugly, charred scar.
Shusi abruptly turned around and looked toward the figure that had just stabbed it.
It was a crimson mech. Its golden Flame Pattern radiated a faint glow, while two streams of blazing fire billowed behind it like a cape.
It held the Pine Pattern Heavy Sword in its hand, its might extraordinary, like a heavenly god.
"How can this be?"
"Isn't this the captain's 'Zhurong'?"
"But didn't the captain go to reinforce Youmugu Base?"
"Then what is this?"
Yang Kui and the others
