"This is the ' Undying Body ' Black Star..."
"His physical strength is even more exaggerated than rumored; with such powerful regenerative abilities, probably only Beyond Grade A could easily kill him."
"To be able to hold off eight of the Tyrant's Vanguard Officers all by himself, he truly deserves to be called the Dragon Emperor's number one warrior. Where did Ames find such a formidable person?"
Han Xiao's performance shocked many of the Section Zero's Calamity Grade.
The Arc Light Organization and other forces were shocked. They originally thought that Black Star was overestimating himself and would sacrifice himself like their own high-level combatants. They did not expect that although everyone is Calamity Grade, we are different.
Fosters was inwardly shocked and said in surprise, "There's something strange about his body. Some of the power we unleashed was absorbed by his cells, allowing him to recover from his injuries quickly."
Hunting Blade's expression turned grave. "I noticed it too."
The chief Vanguard Officers, a veteran of countless battles and highly experienced, quickly discovered the principle behind Han Xiao's Undying Body. Fosters's eyes sharpened, and he devised a countermeasure.
"He doesn't recover instantly; his abilities have a limit. As long as our attack intensity exceeds the threshold, we can effectively kill him... We need explosive power and sustained high-intensity attacks to give him no chance to breathe. Only then will we have a chance to kill him."
Fosters has a keen eye, and his conclusions are close to the truth.
Upon hearing that Black Star could be killed, the other seven breathed a sigh of relief.
Black Star's ability to withstand damage had terrified them. The combined attack of the eight of them was enough to cause continuous landslides and earthquakes. Even they themselves dared not take the damage with their bodies. Just like when facing Han Xiao's mechanical army, they focused on dodging and dared not be targeted by concentrated fire.
Looking at Han Xiao, who was stretching his shoulders in the center of the encirclement, Fosters's tone turned serious:
"Don't overestimate Black Star. Although he's difficult to kill, once his mechanical army is destroyed, his threat level drops significantly, and one person is enough to keep him occupied."
However, Fosters's goal was not just to entangle Black Star; he wanted to kill Black Star. If the eight Vanguard Officers couldn't defeat an opponent of the same level even if they joined forces, their reputation would suffer a huge blow. Only by killing Black Star could they further establish their authority and intimidate the members of Section Zero.
"Attack together, let's change tactics, don't spread our forces out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the eight of them attacked again. Fosters said that only high burst damage and sustained output could kill Black Star. The eight of them working together would have the most terrifying output.
Han Xiao anticipated that the eight people would make a second attempt. People in the War Realm are all brawn and no brains; they won't give up so easily.
He wasn't entirely passive; he spread his arms wide and pulled hard, unleashing a surge of Mechanical Force. Even though the mechanical legion was reduced to less than one-tenth, the countless floating mechanical parts were still his weapons!
Countless mechanical parts transformed into torrents, converging on Han Xiao. Under the influence of Mechanical Force, they rapidly deformed and assembled, transforming into giant mechanical hands and modified cannon barrels.
The Iron Fist smashed through the flames, and the light cannon pierced the darkness, launching a fierce counterattack.
If the battlefield were not a silent vacuum, the scale and intensity would be truly awe-inspiring.
At this moment, a dazzling array of colors crisscrossed and exploded silently, concealing unparalleled danger within the deathly stillness!
Even Grade B superhumans couldn't withstand the aftershocks of Han Xiao's battle with the eight Vanguard Officers.
This ability to directly modify parts into mechanical weapons not only utilizes [Scrap Modification], but also includes the effects of [Basic Mechanical Generation] and [Practical Combat Mechanical Force Techniques]. It consumes a lot of energy, but the fierce attacks of the eight Vanguard Officers ensured that Han Xiao had no shortage of mana.
Bang bang bang--
The repeated collisions between muscles unleashed bursts of dazzling energy halos!
The battle is getting increasingly fierce!
Because Fosters had found the trick, the eight Vanguard Officers used a high-burst, high-endurance attack method, coordinating perfectly and launching a continuous offensive, making Han Xiao suffer a raging storm every second.
Powerful punches, capable of shaking mountains and destroying cities, pounded against his muscles; ultra-high-intensity External Wave, comparable to those from a ship's main cannon, burned his bones. In pursuit of explosive power, the eight Vanguard Officers Heavy Strike their full force, unleashing a barrage of martial arts skills upon Han Xiao.
His fists flew like shooting stars, and the stars fell like rain!
Bang bang bang--
The dull tremors traveled through his bones and muscles all the way to his brain. Han Xiao felt like a piece of rice cake being constantly pounded. The eight Vanguard Officers had strong control, and he was on the receiving end of 90% of the time. His counterattacks could only cause some trouble and were not enough to interrupt the Vanguard Officers ' offensive.
The Health and Mana Conversion has a limit, restoring a maximum of 28% of health per second. With eight people enhancing their burst damage, their output efficiency skyrockets.
The damage per second had reached forty to fifty thousand, exceeding his recovery rate.
This damage is extremely terrifying. If an ordinary Calamity Grade being were to take all the damage with their body, they would be reduced to pieces in two seconds.
"Thankfully, the Tenacious Life feat has been upgraded to Advanced, increasing my maximum health by nearly 20,000, otherwise my recovery speed wouldn't be able to keep up."
Enduring the surging pain, Han Xiao gritted his teeth and maintained his composure, keeping a close eye on his health bar. If things got too dangerous, he was ready to use the Aurora Character Card or Advanced Void Travel at any time to buy himself a chance to catch his breath.
Following this trend, he would be crushed sooner or later; it was only a matter of time. But Han Xiao wasn't panicked. He had thought things through carefully before agreeing to take such a high risk.
Because the most dangerous period when facing eight Vanguard Officers is only the initial period, the longer it drags on, the safer he will be.
[Advanced Tenacious Life] not only increases his health, but also grants him the ability to become stronger the longer he fights after leveling up. For every 40% of health lost, all attributes are temporarily increased by 10%, including stamina.
This means that... Han Xiao's maximum health will continue to increase as the battle progresses!
Although the maximum recovery rate of 28% from the Health and Mana Conversion remains unchanged, the actual amount of health restored continues to increase!
This template specialty makes up for the weakness of Health and Mana Conversion, creating a wonderful synergy that is simply the perfect match for high-speed recovery!
As long as he can survive the initial dangerous period, the longer he can hold out, the less threat the eight Vanguard Officers will pose to him!
Aside from lacking taunt skills, Han Xiao has become a god-tier tank!
The battle continued, with the nine figures tumbling and rolling around in a chaotic melee. The terrifying energy fluctuations made even the onlookers, who were at the Calamity Grade, hesitate to approach, their hearts filled with fear.
Through the radar's energy response, they saw that Black Star's life signal was becoming stronger and stronger. Clearly, the terrifying offensive of the eight Vanguard Officers had not only failed to threaten his life, but had also made him stronger.
Even though Han Xiao was in a very bad situation, no one dared to underestimate him!
Only one word can express how everyone felt at that moment.
Unbelievable!
Fosters had already noticed something was wrong; the sensation of his fists Heavy Strike the muscles was gradually changing, and he could clearly feel that Han Xiao's body was becoming increasingly resilient.
"He's getting stronger and stronger!"
The moment this thought crossed his mind, his heartstrings trembled, and an unnamed rage surged forth.
Just how many trump cards does Black Star have up his sleeve?
He'd had enough!
Fosters's chest suddenly bulged, and the brightness of his aura suddenly soared, becoming incredibly dazzling. All his strength surged into his hands, and the muscles in his arms bulged, like balloons filled with air.
Every muscle fiber in my body seemed to be taut!
Veins bulged on his forehead, and Fosters seemed to be using all his strength, his arms moving as if pushing Mountain, appearing extremely strained. His movements were heavy and deliberate, and a dark red halo appeared, perpendicular to his arms and encircling his fists.
Just then, the radars of the surrounding warships sounded alarms.
"Warning! Warning! Extremely high intensity energy fluctuation detected!"
The next moment, an incredibly dazzling crimson light erupted from Fosters's fists!
A massive, red, pulsating sphere, trailing a thick beam of light, slammed into Han Xiao in an instant, engulfing him in a blinding crimson glow.
This punch seemed to steal the spotlight from the battlefield; the terrifying energy fluctuations made onlookers involuntarily imagine the sounds it produced.
Boom!!
"This is the Star Shattering Fist!"
The other seven Vanguard Officers were startled. These were martial arts techniques personally taught to them by the Tyrant, which consumed a great deal of energy. They used them as a trump card and rarely used them in normal times.
They had witnessed Heber's Star Shattering Fist firsthand, and it truly lived up to its name!
Fosters was Heber's favorite student. Although his strength was far inferior to that of Beyond Grade A, his punch still displayed a bit of the Tyrant style of a ruler.
The seven men had the idea, but their hands didn't slow down; they all followed Fosters's example.
Eight Star Shattering Fist struck Han Xiao from different directions!
"Holy crap, you guys love energy beams so much? Are you all Saiyan?!"
In the instant the attack was about to strike, Han Xiao only had time for this thought to flash through his mind.
In the next instant, an immense burst of energy erupted!
The collision of eight dazzling beams of light from External Wave triggered an expansion reaction, creating a secondary impact centered on Han Xiao!
The spherical energy shockwave and the book rapidly expanded, quickly exceeding the size of the flagship, transforming into an energy-state asteroid and instantly becoming the most shocking focus on the battlefield.
The energy sphere expanded to its maximum size, and the next moment, a massive explosion occurred!
The dazzling light caused almost everyone to close their eyes.
Silently.
A deathly silence.
Only ripple-like shockwaves spread out, and the outer space seemed to become a black rag, being washed away again and again.
The explosion ended in silence.
Before the explosion, Fosters and his eight companions had already sped away to witness the outcome of the attack from a distance.
This punch drained most of their strength and stamina. Even the powerful martial artists couldn't withstand it. The eight Vanguard Officers were panting heavily and coughing incessantly. Their armor on both arms had already shattered, exposing their bare arms with obvious scorch marks on their skin.
All eyes turned to the site of the explosion, only to find it empty; Han Xiao was nowhere to be seen.
"Was he blown to pieces?" Fosters' eyes widened in surprise.
Even he himself didn't realize that his confidence had vanished.
"Really dead?!" Even the people from Section Zero couldn't help but be surprised.
At this moment, a cloud of gray mist suddenly condensed and quickly transformed into Han Xiao's body.
Having just regained his physical form, Han Xiao spat out a mouthful of charred blood, looking listless and extremely miserable. His limbs and torso were covered in wounds, exposing bloody bones, and there were charred marks everywhere.
In the instant everyone was stunned, Han Xiao's wounds healed rapidly, the missing flesh quickly grew back, and his listless expression gradually regained its spirits. In the blink of an eye, his injuries were cured, and he returned to his peak condition.
Aurora Character Card - [Life Returns]!
"Damn, I almost got blown up." Han Xiao said, still shaken.
The Eight Star Shattering Fist produced a special reaction, unleashing terrifying power. The main cannon of the DarkStar mothership was no match for this attack.
To counter this attack, Han Xiao used all his trump cards. First, he used [Counterattack - Thorns] to reduce the damage of the first wave of impact by 30%. Then, he transformed into Chaos Body, becoming immune to 95% of the damage, and his energy was converted into health.
After his energy was depleted, he reverted to his physical form, and his health began to plummet. At the same time, his energy was rapidly recovering. However, the inside of the energy sphere was like a stellar furnace, with insane continuous damage. Fortunately, he had [Tough Body], which offset the terrifying true damage numbers and allowed his energy to replenish more quickly. Thus, he repeatedly changed between his physical form and Chaos Body, saving tens of thousands of health points.
Unfortunately, in his physical form, he was caught in the final explosion, and his health instantly dropped to zero. He had no choice but to transform into his Chaos Body again to escape the calamity. When he finally reappeared, his strength was zero and his health was only about 8%.
The oil has run out and the lamp is extinguished!
Han Xiao could only use his last trump card, [Life Returns], to restore himself to full health.
That was so close!
Han Xiao's chest heaved; he almost capsized.
The scene of flesh and blood regenerating was clearly displayed before everyone's eyes.
Black Star is still alive!!
At that moment, the entire venue seemed to freeze.
All the Calamity Grade shared only one thought:
That attack just now was definitely at the Beyond Grade A!
However, Black Star... held on.
Shock and horror reached their peak, turning into utter stunned silence.
At this moment, the remote command of Section Zero issued new instructions.
"Retreat!"
While Han Xiao was locked in a stalemate with the eight Vanguard Officers, the Section Zero was losing ground on the main battlefield and was still unable to expel the War Realm.
One person could hold off eight high-level combatants, but even so, it still couldn't change the overall battle situation, and his teammates wouldn't become better as a result.
Only Beyond Grade A individual can single-handedly decide the course of an interstellar war!
Although Section Zero suffered another defeat, Han Xiao had already achieved his goal.
It can be said that he is the sole winner of this battle!
Even the victor's War Realm became his backdrop!
Han Xiao boarded the Blacklight Stealth and rejoined the main force for the retreat. Fosters did not stop him, firstly because he was not strong enough to venture deep into enemy territory alone, and secondly because he had lost confidence in killing Black Star.
Eight Vanguard Officers watched from afar as Section Zero retreated.
When Han Xiao returned, the fleet revealed a passage, as if welcoming his triumphant return. Despite being the defeated and retreating side of the war, Section Zero was full of momentum.
Although they won the battle, the War Realm atmosphere felt like they had lost.
At this moment, those who witnessed Han Xiao's battle with the eight Vanguard Officers all knew one thing clearly:
--After this battle, Black Star will transcend the realm of ordinary strongmen and enter a new level, truly stepping onto the stage of great figures in the star field!
The Section Zero's Calamity Grade premonition of avoiding battle had arrived: Black Star and them... were no longer the same!
