Spiritual sense condensed into an unstoppable sword stance, the Moro True Art was as cold as frost!
Xing Tian felt a stinging pain in his brow. His forward-rushing body veered sharply to the left, impacting with a visible shockwave erupting from his forehead.
A simple and direct mental impact!
Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense sword was directly deflected!
This was a difference in absolute power.
But he had anticipated this. He swept his spear horizontally, and before the mental impact reached him, he thrust the spear tip towards Xing Tian's chest!
The shockwave and the spear seemed to move in slow motion.
Through the X-Armor's visor, Wang Jixuan and Xing Tian locked eyes for a moment.
Bang!
The two figures passed each other.
Wang Jixuan flipped twice in the air, landing steadily with his spear in hand.
Xing Tian, with a line of blood on him, crashed into a production line machine nearby.
But the old esper bounced back up as if nothing had happened, his body hovering half a foot off the ground, surrounded by a flame-like aura.
Xing Tian glared at Wang Jixuan, black earthen prisms coalescing around him, and the nearby machinery visibly disassembled, parts and screws floating around Xing Tian.
Xing Tian shouted, "You've angered me, brat."
Wang Jixuan slightly curled his lip, his eyes filled with disdain.
An old man in his seventies or eighties dared to call him a brat?
At that moment, Wang Jixuan seemed to be possessed by twenty percent of Peony, leisurely saying, "As expected of an S-rank, you're good at trash talk."
"Seeking death!"
Xing Tian pushed forward with both hands, countless machine parts shooting towards Wang Jixuan.
The X-Armor Wang Jixuan wore activated a plasma shield!
He charged forward with his spear, but his feet stepped out lotus-like imprints, his body swaying erratically, causing most of the machine parts to miss.
By the time Xing Tian realized something was wrong, Wang Jixuan had already charged close to him.
Overcoming strength with weakness!
The spear thrust straight!
The X-Armor's shoulder and waist, four laser cannons, completed their extension and aiming, firing simultaneously!
Xing Tian condensed an earthen wall in front of him, and the ceiling and floor of the first floor cracked simultaneously.
The power of earth was being channeled by Xing Tian's esper ability.
The laser cannons were blocked;
Wang Jixuan's spear struck the earthen wall, but was shaken back by the ripples emanating from it.
So strong!
Wang Jixuan and Xing Tian felt this almost simultaneously.
Wang Jixuan was impressed by the thick aura of this guy, while Xing Tian was impressed by... …
He only sensed an esper ability similar to a B-rank, or even just a B-, from this 'silver-white demon' in front of him.
But the opponent's offensive was already comparable to a full-force attack from an A-rank body enhancement esper!
A spiritual cultivator?
Could this guy in the X-Armor really be an awakened spiritual cultivator?
But... …
Is that all there is?
Xing Tian's eyes gained a bit of heat, he clenched his fist and punched forward, hundreds of earthen blocks bursting from the earthen wall, each block condensing into a fist shape, raining down on Wang Jixuan!
The X-Armor's shield increased to full power!
Wang Jixuan pointed the spear tip at the ground, his body darting towards a window on the side, narrowly escaping the first floor.
As the earthen blocks bombarded down, the west wall of the first floor collapsed, leaving only some load-bearing structures barely standing, revealing the steel reinforcement inside.
Before Wang Jixuan could even turn his head, Xing Tian's second wave of attacks had already arrived!
This old esper with silver-white short hair was now displaying his extremely deep foundation—
Three fire snakes shot out, countless earthen fists attacked Wang Jixuan fiercely, and mud pits even appeared on the ground, seemingly about to unleash some kind of monster.
Wang Jixuan would naturally not be intimidated by such a small scene.
He patted the pocket on his lower back, and emerald green talismans flew out from behind, like a peacock spreading its tail!
Explosive Fire Talismans detonated;
Diamond Talismans solidified into walls;
Strong Wind Talismans blew wildly!
In this small courtyard, under the gaze of snipers at various ambush points, espers and cultivators engaged in a head-on collision!
The scene was chaotic for a time!
Earthen fist shadows collided with fireballs, the flying fire snakes were blown askew by the strong winds, and the walls formed by the Diamond Talismans narrowly blocked the ice mud arrows shot from the mud pits below!
The earthen wall inside the building suddenly shattered, and Xing Tian, covered in black flames, pounced towards Wang Jixuan!
Wang Jixuan quickly retreated, talismans like a long dragon swept towards Xing Tian, and the spear in his hand waved through the air, transparent knives and swords condensed from spiritual sense constantly flung out from the spear tip, shooting towards Xing Tian!
Clang, clang, clang!
The battlefield resounded with the sound of knives and swords clashing!
In just two moments, cracks appeared in the black flames on Xing Tian's body, his body constantly trembling, and intense pain transmitted throughout his body.
Xing Tian, lacking means to defend against spiritual sense attacks, could only concentrate his mental power and unleash another mental impact.
"Ha!"
A visible, powerful shockwave rippled in all directions!
The spiritual sense knives and swords that Wang Jixuan fired were deflected and shattered.
This bastard!
The absolute power is still too far off!
The Daoist almost cursed out loud under the demonic art's influence, but the restraint of a righteous cultivator made him choose to endure, and besides... …
His mission had already been completed.
When Xing Tian released the mental impact, there was no earthen wall protecting him, and his body briefly surged forward in the air with inertia.
Bang, bang!
A dozen large-caliber sniper rifles fired simultaneously!
The treatment that Ji Heibao and Ji Xia enjoyed back then, now came with a bonus, more than a dozen anti-personnel arrow missiles shot out, and a sonic boom appeared in the air!
Even Xing Tian's expression was solemn at this moment, his hand movements as fast as phantoms, the black flames around him sweeping outwards, the rolling fire waves rippling indiscriminately.
Layers of shockwaves spread on the seventh floor!
Wang Jixuan was directly knocked away by a force.
The attacks from the technological side could not get close to Xing Tian within two meters, and large-scale destructive weapons could not be used here… …
Xing Tian's eyes only held Wang Jixuan's figure, he was like a pirate who had discovered a treasure, like a hungry brown bear who had just woken up from hibernation seeing food, with a ferocious smile on his face, his body pouncing up!
Wang Jixuan turned and ran madly towards the pre-set route.
At this moment!
Two destruction cannons fired simultaneously!
But Xing Tian had made a move one step earlier!
His waist bag exploded open, scattering dense metallic powder, which automatically condensed into two shields, directly blocking the high-energy particle beams!
He had predicted the predictions of these ambushers!
"Charge!"
Ling Tong's voice carried a hint of anger.
She and Shen Hai ejected from the buildings on the left and right, each equipped with a Blade Three-Type suit, and steel wings spread out behind them!
Starting with full firepower suppression!
Xing Tian's momentum was blocked, the metal wall extended into a round shield, and an earthen wall gathered under his feet, taking all attacks head-on!
Wang Jixuan immediately transmitted his voice, and two figures darted out from the front, rushing towards Xing Tian from the left and right.
Ji Xiao and Ji Yale!
These two 'great disciples' of Xing Tian each had golden halos blooming behind them, following Wang Jixuan's temporary guidance, trying their best to control their mental impacts, condensing them into a beam, and fiercely attacking Xing Tian!
Xing Tian shouted angrily: "You two traitors!"
But obviously, the attacks of the two powerful A-rank espers caused Xing Tian to suffer a bit.
This was not enough.
How could this be enough to defeat Xing Tian?
Wang Jixuan gave the highest priority to Xing Tian, an S-rank esper who could escape from the hands of the Demon General Commander.
Not far behind Ji Xiao and Ji Yale, as light and shadow flickered, the holographic cover of a low building faded, and dozens of drone launch tubes fired simultaneously!
Drone formation!
Wan Xiaoqi, hiding in the corner, was now like playing a video game, his hands quickly clicking the formations on the operation panel, allowing the drone formation to quickly take shape.
Wang Jixuan stuck his spear in the ground, his hands forming sword fingers, pointing at the top of his helmet.
The array bases carried under the drones were instantly activated!
Thunder Lord Demon Suppression!
Quick version!
The Thunder God manifested!
Xing Tian suddenly found that he could not move, and his hair stood on end!
Countless lightning bolts crashed down on Xing Tian!
Xing Tian used the abilities of fire, earth, and water to build dozens of layers of defense, but they were instantly shattered by the lightning beams formed by these lightning bolts!
Xing Tian's figure was covered in lightning, but he could still stand in mid-air!
"Bastard!"
Xing Tian was covered in blood, opened his mouth and cursed angrily, his voice dry and hoarse, and his esper strength dropped sharply!
Wang Jixuan spat out blood because of forcibly activating the improved formation, but he was still transmitting his voice with spiritual sense:
"Strike while the iron is hot! Go all out!"
Ji Yale shouted: "Teacher! You have kindness in your heart!"
This A-rank telekinetic esper, who was not good at dealing with Blade Beasts, but only good at dealing with humans, had an increasingly obvious Buddha light wheel behind him, and the mental impact turned into a torrent, breaking through the last defense that Xing Tian had built!
Hundreds of special forces soldiers hiding in various buildings on the periphery fired simultaneously!
Ling Tong's figure surged upwards, the slender figure wrapped in armor seemed to contain tremendous energy at this moment;
Shen Hai's figure fell downwards, his resolute face full of anger and fighting spirit.
Double! Steel wings spread!
Powerful firepower released simultaneously!
Xing Tian barely managed to merge the metal fragments to protect himself, his figure crashing straight down, endless attacks following, and his body burst out with streams of blood mist!
He was injured!
And the injury was definitely not light!
Suddenly, the situation took a turn!
No one expected that Xing Tian, who seemed to be about to have his body directly shattered by the human technological firepower, actually had water-like marks appearing on the ground the moment his body landed.
In full view, Xing Tian drilled into the reinforced concrete!
He drilled into the dividing structure between the eighth and seventh floors of the fortress!
Ji Xiao shouted with wide eyes: "My ability! How could you, teacher!"
Ling Tong's intuition screamed, and she abruptly turned her head.
“Wang Zheng, run!”
Actually, even without Ling Tong shouting, the moment Xing Dian crashed into the ground, Wang Ji Xuan had already reacted, leaping into the air.
But before Wang Ji Xuan could jump even two meters high, a right hand covered in blood burst from the ground, clutching a short blade imbued with formidable Qi, and shot it towards Wang Ji Xuan!
Wang Ji Xuan twisted in the air, a sharp pain erupting in his right shoulder as the short blade pierced the upper part of his clavicle!
The shoulder of the X battle armor was shattered!
The powerful force sent Wang Ji Xuan staggering backward!
Xing Dian had already surged up from below, his expression deranged despite being covered in wounds. Even if it meant suffering even greater injuries, he had to capture Wang Ji Xuan and take him back.
A spirit practitioner!
This was an awakened spirit practitioner!
He was the only hope for surpassing the Six Elders and becoming a god!
Several spheres fell from Wang Ji Xuan's sleeve… these were 'magical artifacts' Wang Ji Xuan had created using blade beast exoskeletons and high-performance explosives!
Beep beep beep!
Boom!
A massive fireball erupted.
Wang Ji Xuan and Xing Dian were simultaneously blasted away, creating distance between them!
An explosion suddenly echoed from behind Xing Dian. Mu Dan, who had been waiting for a long time, finally received Wang Ji Xuan's order to attack. Her figure shot forward close to the ground, leaving a huge, deep trench in her wake, surrounded by sonic booms!
This was the killing weapon Wang Ji Xuan had hidden!
It was also a matter of coincidence. When Wang Ji Xuan was considering Xing Dian's abilities, he subconsciously adopted the rules of the cultivation world, assuming that 'whatever the disciple knows, the master taught,' thus deducing that Xing Dian possessed an earth escape technique or wall-penetration technique even more powerful than Ji Xiao's.
Xing Dian had endured Wang Ji Xuan's thunder formation, withstood the attacks of Ling Tong, Shen Hai, Ji Yale, and Ji Xiao, and still had strength to spare…
But it didn't matter; Mu Dan was only the penultimate killing move.
Wu Man was currently behind the courtyard wall not far away, chanting incantations, accumulating his own spiritual energy, waiting for Wang Ji Xuan's voice transmission.
However, with a weapon spirit, Mu Dan seemed to be extraordinary…
Before Xing Dian could react, Mu Dan had already charged in front of him. The two were horizontally aligned, Mu Dan's body spinning downwards, causing her twin tails to whirl. Her right arm bloomed with afterimages, her fist aimed at Xing Dian's heart.
Thousandfold Electromagnetic Fist!
Bang!
Xing Dian's body plummeted, slamming heavily into the ground, causing the entire fortress to tremble.
Using the force of the impact, Mu Dan's figure soared upwards, flipping gracefully before using her left hand and feet to adhere to the ceiling of the seventh floor, kneeling upside down, gazing down at Xing Dian.
“Mu Dan does not allow anyone to harm Commander.”
Mu Dan bent her leg and jumped down, causing a large crater to cave upwards in the ceiling of the seventh floor!
“Get lost!”
Xing Dian roared in anger. At this moment, he slapped the ground with his right hand, and ripples of water appeared around him again.
“Heaven is round, Earth is square, the law has nine chapters!”
Wang Ji Xuan formed hand seals, chanting incantations, and thrust his middle fingers forward.
Solidify Earth Technique!
Xing Dian's eyes widened as he turned his head in disbelief to look at Wang Ji Xuan's figure. Half of his body was embedded in the concrete floor, and he couldn't move.
Mu Dan crashed down heavily, landing a punch on Xing Dian's abdomen.
Wang Ji Xuan's long spear flew, stabbing directly at Xing Dian's chest!
Two Destruction Cannons fired simultaneously!
Buzz!
Rumble!
A section of the seventh floor's ground and the eighth floor's ceiling were directly blasted apart.
Wang Ji Xuan had originally wanted to smile, but the smile froze before it could bloom.
Still not dead?
His spiritual sense rapidly searched, detecting a stream of spiritual energy rapidly escaping into the earth, leaving Fortress 76 in the blink of an eye. It seemed to be… Water Escape… Xing Dian was using his own blood to activate it…
However, it seemed that Xing Dian had also left something behind.
Among the falling debris, a severed left leg was particularly conspicuous.
Ah, this…
The last time Xing Dian was able to escape from Fu Jian's grasp, it even made Wang Ji Xuan question whether this Demon General Commander was competent.
But now, having personally witnessed Xing Dian's escape technique, he couldn't help but chuckle wryly.
So strong, this S-rank.
Whether it was combat power or the abilities he possessed, the most impressive thing was still his ability to escape.
Having suffered such heavy injuries, this Xing Dian guy would probably have to recuperate for a long time…
However, Wang Ji Xuan sighed inwardly.
The news of the 'awakened spirit practitioner' would probably spread.
Wang Ji Xuan slumped backward, and Mu Dan, who had already retrieved his right hand, jumped out of the breach.
Ling Tong and Shen Hai chased after him one after the other, but they definitely wouldn't gain anything.
Wang Ji Xuan lowered his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. Having dispelled the demonic art, he was on the verge of collapsing and losing consciousness.
Facing an S-rank head-on was still too much of a stretch.
This was still taking advantage of some benefits; the other party wanted to capture him alive and didn't launch a ruthless attack from the start.
However, this fierce battle also showed that his previous act of opening the demonic art to increase his cultivation…
Was extremely wise.
Fortunately, he hadn't exposed too much. He had refrained from using the Dragon Python Hetero-Soul, and he hadn't forced the release of the Sword Pellet, so he had left behind some trump cards.
“Let's change locations; we can only go to Fortress 82.”
… …
At the same time.
Xing Dian, who had escaped back to the shuttle, sat in the driver's seat like a bloody man, his breathing somewhat rapid.
When he was at his peak, he had encountered Fu Jian, been severely injured, lost an arm, and lost part of his spiritual energy. Today, he had been besieged again, those two damned traitors, that strange thunder strike technique, and…
He felt in his arms for a Demon-Breaking Dagger, threw it under the control panel, and activated the shuttle's automatic return function.
Xing Dian hardened his heart, connected the communication, and said in a trembling voice:
“Quick… rush down… seventh floor… five A-level combatants have been injured by me… awakened spirit practitioner… wearing silver-white battle armor… barely A-level combat power… severely injured…”
