542: Chapter 186: Testing 542: Chapter 186: Testing To counter this enemy, whose Inner Strength was incredibly strong, all Sect Defenders of the Six Dragons Sect had temporarily shut off their wireless signal receivers.

Thus, they did not know what was happening, nor were they aware of Bai Changkong’s commands.

Since orders had been received earlier, the army would not directly attack this area.

But the rest of the explosion sites were different.

Chaos spread rapidly.

The Banner Leader reacted the fastest.

He looked at the Prosthetic Eye of Guardian Zhi and transmitted a sentence through infrared signals.

“This is certainly to draw someone to check on us.

Let’s settle him first, no matter what!”

With that, he flipped his body and kicked the floor-to-ceiling glass to shatter it.

At that moment, the protector at the door also made a bold move.

After analyzing the analyzed footage and the footsteps he heard, the protector decided to act upon the part he had heard.

He fired a shot toward the estimated position of Xiang Shan.

A dazzling light pierced through the gate.

But what he did not know was that both the visual and auditory signals were fake.

The footage had been manipulated.

Xiang Shan had loaded software for real-time image processing in those drones, which skewed the returned image data.

The footsteps were also misleading.

Small speakers emitted subtle sounds, blending into the footsteps and disrupting the frequency range.

If he shot towards the footsteps, he would hit Mr.

Isin.

If he shot towards the position shown in the footage, he would provide an opening for that Scientific Knight accompanying Xiang Shan into the office.

All of this occurred in a blink of an eye.

Xiang Shan was standing in front of the window, calmly drawing his gun and turning around.

The Banner Leader then witnessed a scene he could not comprehend.

Mr.

Isin actually raised his right hand, making that ancient evil gesture.

Then, he was hit by a cannonball, his body blasted out of the window in pieces.

In mid-air, his last words echoed.

“Long live the Six Dragons Sect!”

—What?

The Banner Leader was bewildered, missing a beat.

But Xiang Shan had fired.

The bullet traveled through the large hole in the door, charging into the barrel of the large gun outside the door.

With a bang, something exploded in the corridor.

Xiang Shan, like a whirlwind, burst through the doorway, placing his hand on the protector’s head: “Oh dear, in such a hurry.”

“You…” the protector almost cursed out loud.

But Xiang Shan decapitated him with a release of energy before he could speak.

“See who’s in a hurry now,” Xiang Shan sighed.

“You are immediately filled with fear and dread when placed in a position similar to a Hero.”

The building trembled.

More explosions spread.

Noises of battle unknown whence they came echoed through the corridor.

“The Fire Dragon burns the granary, impressive, impressive,” praised Xiang Shan.

Having struggled through the Old Era, he could understand the mental circuitry of such rigid organizational leaders.

He had roughly grasped the current situation.

Then, he forcefully threw the protector’s head out the window.

“Damn it…”

The Banner Leader instinctively wanted to catch the head.

But the head was actually just a blinding trick.

Xiang Shan moved faster than the flying head.

Additionally, to avoid the technique of witnessing, the Banner Leader deliberately narrowed his field of vision.

Xiang Shan lowered his body, rushing over just on the edge of the opponent’s field of view.

Then, with an Iron Mountain Lean, he sent the Banner Leader flying out.

Several micro missiles, like locusts, flew in from the window, nimbly arranging themselves mid-air.

Xiang Shan nonchalantly grabbed the Scientific Knight he had under control and threw him out.

Regardless of whether the missile’s explosion standard was “collision” or “detection of a humanoid object,” this Cybernetically Enhanced Person was definitely up to standard.

Thus, the explosion engulfed half of the office in flames.

Xiang Shan’s metal eyelids protected his Prosthetic Eye as he moved backward.

However, he didn’t push back into the corridor.

Different from earlier, there were no longer their own “people” in the corridor—only one protector with a Prosthetic Body was left lying on the ground.

The people at both ends of the corridor could attack freely now.

The gun held by that protector could almost be considered a cannon in the Natural Person era.

It seemed likely that the fixed firepower on both sides was also strong.

Xiang Shan was not planning to rely on External Armor under unclear intelligence to gamble on the enemy’s firepower at the gun emplacements.

Footsteps rushed in.

Xiang Shan, with closed eyes, raised his hand in response.

Then there was a “clang” of metal colliding.

This must be the automatic release of some special ammunition.

Just set the timer in advance, and this special ammunition could detach from the body at the designated time and activate automatically.

The choice of the enemy was… the Iron Flower Bomb.

The Metal Aerosol quickly spread, drastically reducing visibility inside the room.

With this concentration of aerosol, the Prosthetic Eye could see the outlines of surrounding objects, but no wireless signals could be transmitted steadily.

This was to block Xiang Shan’s Inner Strength attacks!

Xiang Shan, undaunted, applied punches and palms together, with several dark figures attacking Guardian Zhi from different directions,

Guardian Zhi was hit by three palms.

Although these attacks did not truly penetrate the External Armor to harm him, Guardian Zhi was inexplicably horrified at that moment.

—Incredibly strong.

For some people, their brains get occupied by terror, and their reactions become sluggish.

But for others, the situation only spurs them on faster.

Guardian Zhi suddenly spun around, circumventing the enemy’s defence.

Xiang Shan also adjusted his stance.

The positioning of the two shifted half-circle around each other.

Then, a third person lunged out.

The experts among the Sect’s Defenders followed suit.

This squad was all “unprotected.” Many Protectors’ upper ranks would recruit such subordinates.

“Losing civilization’s protection” means “losing human rights,” which means “being treated arbitrarily”—and naturally, being treated as “tools” is also part of being “arbitrary.”

Xiang Shan, utterly fearless, swung his arms, sweeping all the approaching Sect Defenders off their feet.

But Guardian Zhi seized this opportunity and charged toward Xiang Shan.

A heavy impact was felt.

Guardian Zhi almost thought he had collided with a superstructure’s load-bearing wall.

Xiang Shan was pushed back by the Unloading Force, but Guardian Zhi, well-prepared, came on even faster.

The two of them tangled and burst through the window.

Revering the mid-air, Guardian Zhi immediately released Xiang Shan, with his Vector Thruster pushing him toward the building’s outer wall.

Meanwhile Xiang Shan plummeted straight down.

This was a skyscraper of a thousand layers.

At this height, no Prosthetic Body could withstand the fall.

However, Guardian Zhi intended to use Earth’s gravity to kill the enemy.

But Xiang Shan was no pushover either.

He adjusted his body mid-fall, spreading his hands with palms facing horizontally.

Bullets preset in his wrists roared out.

The recoil slightly offset Xiang Shan’s trajectory.

The exterior wall of Secluded Crane City’s central building sloped slightly.

Xiang Shan, like surfing, cut through the shower of glass shards.
