Xu Xiao was certain of one thing: there are people who are not afraid of death, but there are no people who are not afraid of punishment.
While a person's willpower can sometimes be strong enough to defy death, not everyone can endure the torment of pushing their senses to the limit.
Sure enough, Du Yu was lying just now, but after only one minute of the Enhanced Life and Death Talisman, he was already begging like a dead dog.
In order to prevent him from being tortured to death and thus failing to obtain the information he wanted, Xu Xiao magnanimously stopped the other party's Life and Death Talisman.
The enhanced Life and Death Talisman is not just a simple itch!
Instead, the Spiritual Power stimulates the internal organs, causing them to itch unbearably; while the bones and muscles of the body become weak and sore under the interference of the Spiritual Power.
In other words, you can still grab the Child Elder's Life and Death Talisman with your hand, but Xu Xiao's Life and Death Talisman is something you have to endure alive until your spirit can't withstand the physical torment, turning you into an idiot or causing you to die from shock.
You can't even commit suicide; this is also a method Xu Xiao plans to use to control his subordinates.
Human nature is too complicated in the apocalypse. He doesn't trust these guys who crawled out of piles of corpses. It's best to use some means to control them.
Soon, Du Yu revealed all the information Xu Xiao wanted to know. As for whether he lied or not, Xu Xiao observed the other party's heartbeat and eyes with his Divine Sense and could confirm that he was not lying.
As for why Xu Xiao wanted to ask about news from the inner city, it was naturally to take his place.
Having enjoyed the convenience of controlling power, Xu Xiao looked down on this small, trashy organization with only a few hundred people.
Whether it's to acquire crystal cores or to find film and television works that can serve as anchor points for travel, controlling an inner city is much more convenient than these small organizations in the outer city.
If he's going to cause trouble, he should cause something big. If things go wrong, he can just find another place to hide.
Anyway, there are a few martial arts worlds in the game's cheat system, so he can go and explore them.
Of course, the main reason is that this world is still the place where he grew up.
Xu Xiao needs to figure out how these mysterious forces suddenly appeared, the origin of the apocalypse, and the issues of crystal cores.
After casually killing Du Yu, Xu Xiao searched the area and found more than a dozen crystal cores, which he pocketed without hesitation.
With Divine Sense at his disposal, those so-called concealment methods are simply a joke. As long as Xu Xiao is willing, nothing within 800 meters can escape his perception.
Meanwhile, the inner city also received news of unrest occurring on the outskirts.
Since it was still daytime, the inner city quickly contacted several administrators in the outer city, but the only information they received was that there were superhumans causing trouble in the outer areas, and nothing more.
Because the specific abilities and purposes of the superhumans were unclear, the inner city had no choice but to temporarily close its gates, raise an energy barrier, and enter a state of alert.
Xu Xiao arrived at a corner where the outer city and the inner city intersected. He was very close to the inner city wall, completely within the range of his Telekinesis.
With his Divine Sense consciousness, Xu Xiao can manipulate his Telekinesis to attack without revealing his face, making it an excellent method of assassination.
"Go!"
Xu Xiao's Telekinesis spread out and instantly swarmed towards the city wall. However, as soon as they got close, a layer of water rippled in the air.
The normally unstoppable Telekinesis was immediately blocked when it encountered the outer light blue protective shield.
"Beep! Mental energy is approaching! The energy shield is under attack!!"
A piercing alarm sounded, and the soldiers on the city wall pulled back their rifle bolts and pressed the anti-psychological shock buttons on their combat uniforms.
Since they didn't know what kind of mental attack it was, they could only protect their own sanity first.
"Huh! As expected, they have a defense mechanism against superhumans; they can even sense and block invisible Telekinesis."
"You think you can stop me from breaking in with just this little thing?"
Xu Xiao instantly increased the output of his Telekinesis, concentrating it into a single point, forming an invisible Riot Games, and slammed it fiercely into the barrier.
There was no sound, no collision, only the piercing alarm blaring continuously throughout the base.
"Attention! The energy shield has been subjected to excessive damage and its defense is about to fail!"
"What! The energy shield is about to fail!!"
Inside the city, the energy barrier generator was already operating at high power, and the energy-supplying crystal cores were quickly being drained of energy. Even so, the damage rate of the energy barrier was rapidly increasing.
Xu Xiao's Telekinesis was not so easy to block.
The attack frequency of Telekinesis is entirely determined by a person's thoughts; it is both fast and ruthless!
If someone could see the invisible Telekinesis, they would see Xu Xiao's Telekinesis constantly transforming into Riot Games, piercing and bombarding the barrier.
"Damn it! Where did this fourth-tier psychic superhuman come from? Even a basic energy shield couldn't stop his attack!"
Wang Jie, the city's defense captain, was having a major headache. Superhumans with mutated mental abilities were the most difficult to deal with, often capable of quickly Carnage those weaker than themselves.
Although the soldiers' uniforms were equipped with devices to protect against mental shocks, these were clearly useless against attacks that even energy shields couldn't defend against.
Once the energy shield collapses, they will all face an attack from a psychic superhuman lurking in the shadows.
"Captain, we've found them! There's a powerful energy source emanating from 800 meters away at the 2 o'clock position. It should be the hiding psychic!"
Team members used a detector to locate Xu Xiao's whereabouts.
"Then what are we waiting for! Let's use the big ones to deal with him!" Wang Jie roared.
Meanwhile, the light blue energy shield Vanguard City began to ripple noticeably, teetering on the brink of collapse.
"Not bad, you managed to hold off my full-force attack for five seconds. These places are definitely hiding experts. But what are you going to do next?"
Xu Xiao could feel the energy barrier becoming increasingly powerful in blocking his Telekinesis, so he gritted his teeth and launched another all-out attack.
"Sizzle~ Sizzle~ Bang!"
The energy barrier generator inside the inner city exploded after sparks flew.
At the same time, under Wang Jie's orders, the heavy weapons on the city wall were also aimed at Xu Xiao's location.
Almost the instant the energy barrier disappeared, all the weapons on the city wall opened fire.
"Da da da!"
"Boom!"
Machine guns, Rocket, and even small-caliber howitzers unleashed a powerful barrage of firepower in an instant.
However, without the protection of the energy barrier, it was too late for them to launch an attack.
While technologically advanced weapons are incredibly powerful, they are useless if they can't hit the target.
With his Divine Sense constantly watching over everything, the moment he saw the weapons on the city wall launch their attack, Xu Xiao immediately flew into the sky and headed towards Vanguard City.
"Without the energy shield, let's see how you die!!"
As the man fell from the sky, Xu Xiao's Telekinesis had already locked onto the soldiers on the city wall.
The next second, the sound of bones cracking and twisting echoed throughout the city wall as large numbers of soldiers fell to the ground.
Without an energy barrier to stop it, Telekinesis to kill the weak would be nothing short of Carnage.
However, the resistance on the city wall did not stop. The fully automatic heavy firepower controlled by intelligent programs turned around and opened fire on Xu Xiao. At the same time, a special squad in the inner city also headed towards Xu Xiao.
