Chapter 184: #184 - No martial ethics

'These demonic figures controlled by the monstrous beasts truly deserve to die.'

Daoist Wang squatted on the roof of a logistics vehicle, observing the area of intense fighting.

The Black Shell Instructor was inherently strong. His mecha was designed to counter high-level psionicists. At this moment, the instructor was battling the strongest, most 'talkative' S+ rank psionicist.

The two were evenly matched, locked in a fierce and inextricable battle.

The greatest damage and threat to the camp came from the group of A-level psionicists led by the three pseudo-S ranks.

After being modified by the Blade Beasts, these guys' destructive power had increased by a level. The psionic energy within them was inexhaustible, possessing a psionic recovery speed comparable to sub-king and general-level Blade Beasts.

Their side only had eight semi-human mecha.

The special forces' regular enhanced soldiers couldn't directly confront these Beast God Sect members.

Only high-level mechanical bodies could delay these psionicists' offensive rhythm.

Therefore, overall, the human camp was steadily retreating.

Under Peony's command, the Peak Maid Corps didn't directly use the Seven Stars Sword Formation to confront the pseudo-S rank psionicists. Instead, they provided close-range support to each other, using their own and their armor's high mobility to snipe those weaker A-level psionicists.

Peony's thinking was flawless.

Wang Ji Xuan was taking the route of capturing the leader to defeat the enemy.

He set his sights on the weakest of the pseudo-S rank psionicists.

This was a strong man, a body enhancement-type psionicist, wearing tattered armor. At this moment, he was fiercely attacking a human camp's fire-power bunker.

Relying on his psionically enhanced body, he could withstand all kinds of explosions. If it weren't for two autonomous machines skirmishing around him, he would have already overturned the laser cannon bunker in front!

Wang Ji Xuan narrowed his eyes.

He crawled on the armored vehicle, took off his right-hand armor, and a cyan light gathered in his palm, slowly floating out a silver-white sword pellet.

Wang Ji Xuan exhaled a breath onto the sword pellet.

The sword pellet immediately appeared semi-transparent like colored glaze. A point of the sword tip protruded outward, and after a few seconds, it transformed into a thin, long sword without a handguard, silently disappearing into the darkness.

This was the feeling!

Wang Ji Xuan's Dao heart rippled slightly.

It's back!

The excitement of just learning to control the sword in the past resurfaced!

If the Daoist closed his eyes, he could directly use the flying sword to observe the area around the flying sword.

Immersive sneak attack.

This method of controlling the flying sword was generally used for long-range 'sniping' beyond the range of spiritual consciousness, and wasn't needed now.

Strands of mana disappeared from Wang Ji Xuan's body, gathering on the flying sword.

The flying sword approached the target pseudo-S rank psionicist.

Wang Ji Xuan conceived several action plans.

The flying sword stealthily hid in the corner below the bunker, the sword body remaining semi-transparent.

It was waiting.

Wang Ji Xuan was also waiting, waiting for this S-rank psionicist strongman to reveal a flaw.

Generally speaking, this flaw usually appeared the moment before and after the other party completed their intended goal.

These high-level and mid-level autonomous machines, entangled with the strongman, had some of Peony and the others' fighting styles.

—There should have been data sharing.

They held light blades and alloy shields, their offense and defense were orderly, their cooperation was tacit, and they could ignore mental shocks.

This strongman also had some 'problems' after being modified by the Blade Beasts.

—He had a large amount of psionic energy in his body, but he didn't quite know how to use it, still using his original attack mode.

A skilled woman cannot cook without rice.

A fool guards a granary full of grain.

Wang Ji Xuan observed for a while and found that even if those mechanical bodies used high-temperature light blades to directly chop, it would be difficult to break through the layer of psionic shield around the strongman.

But this strongman was still subconsciously dodging.

And this strongman's attacks were powerful and heavy, making it difficult to catch these two flexible mechanical bodies.

With this rise and fall, this strongman was actually delayed… …

Among the three pseudo-S rank psionicists here, the other two telekinetic psionicists were already wreaking havoc, but the strongman's side was quiet.

Wang Ji Xuan pondered slightly, deciding to add fuel to the fire, simulating the voice of that talkative psionicist when these Beast God Sect members communicated, and transmitted the sound:

"Are you trash?"

The strongman was furious!

"You! Damn it! Annoying!"

He roared, leaping into the air, resisting dozens of fire lines coming from around him.

A psionic shield burst out from his body!

Just as the two mechanical bodies were about to rush forward, the strongman psionicist had already punched the ground hard, mobilizing 80% of the psionic energy in his body, and a strong shockwave erupted from his fist, sweeping in all directions.

A strong wind rose, and the ground cracked!

The main body of Fortress 76 was shaking continuously!

Several autonomous machines were hit by the shockwave, and half of the dozens of armored vehicles nearby were overturned!

The surrounding Beast God Sect psionicists were also directly blown away by the shockwave, and two or three were seriously injured… …

The pseudo-S rank strongman slowly got up, a few grim smiles appearing on the corner of his mouth, waiting for the psionic energy in his body to quickly return.

This kind of power!

This kind of power that he had never possessed before!

This was the Beast God's gift… …

Chirp!

A faint sound of air being torn.

The pseudo-S rank's foundation was at least A rank, and his own reaction was fast enough.

The instinctive intuition triggered by extreme danger made him subconsciously lower his body, raise his hand, and habitually put on a fighting stance, protecting his brain and throat, while the afterglow of his vision caught a glimpse of a silver-white thin line illuminated by the surrounding faint lights.

What line is this?

A sharp pain suddenly came from his abdomen.

He looked down and only saw a thin wound appearing on his stomach, the wound was only three or four centimeters wide, and the silver-white thin line disappeared here… …

The smoke-like thin line suddenly straightened!

The strongman's pupils shrank suddenly, and a crisp cracking sound came from his abdomen!

The crystal core is broken!

The flying sword that shattered his crystal core was now dozens of meters away, turning a corner and flying back to Wang Ji Xuan's side close to the ground.

"Ah, ah! Ah—"

The strongman psionicist clutched his abdomen, and the psionic energy in his body began to surge.

He looked up and shouted in pain, white light gushing out of the facial features, and strong light radiating outward from every pore of his body, his skin cracking… …

Pa!

In a crisp shattering sound, the strongman's abdomen exploded, and the powerful body fell forward limply.

Although he didn't die directly, he was seriously injured and lost his ability to move.

The mechanical body rushed over quickly, and the high-temperature light blade began to chop frantically.

Wang Ji Xuan didn't look at the strongman much, calculating the mana consumed by this flying sword sneak attack, feeling slightly helpless.

There are no perfect fighting techniques.

Although the flying sword was extremely sharp, it consumed mana to support it. In order to complete the secret, fastest speed surprise attack, break through this pseudo-S rank psionicist's body defense, and shatter the crystal core… …

Just one sneak attack, Wang Ji Xuan used up a total of fifty-five percent of his mana.

Fortunately, the results were not bad.

'Sure enough, people are never satisfied, just like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. As soon as this poor Daoist entered the Returning Void Realm, he started wanting a top-grade flying sword.'

The Daoist sighed and continued to approach the next target stealthily.

—One of the important standards for evaluating the quality of a flying sword is the amount of mana consumed by the flying sword's attack, and the other standards are whether it can help cultivators cultivate, whether it can restrain evil spirits, the sharpness of the sword itself, and so on.

… …

In the command channel, Wang Ji Xuan's voice suddenly sounded:

"The weakness of these psionicists is the crystal core in their bodies. You can stare at their crystal cores and attack."

The warriors who were participating in the battle noted this point.

But they quickly discovered… …this was useless.

If they could attack the abdomens of these psionicists, then why not attack their heads or spines?

Daoist Wang had already changed his position, lying on the corner of a collapsed building rooftop, taking out a handkerchief and carefully wiping the sword body of the flying sword.

Although the flying sword was fast enough just now and didn't get any dirty blood on it.

He was still a little disgusted in his heart.

Wang Ji Xuan had swallowed the Blood Qi Pill and was absorbing the spiritual power in the crystal core of the general-level Blade Beast.

The second target he wanted to sneak attack was a telekinetic pseudo-S psionicist, a slightly bloated middle-aged woman.

This woman was currently hundreds of meters away in mid-air, laughing maniacally.

She was the psionicist closest to the hangar where the Red Serpent was hidden. Peony, in coordination with more than a dozen high-level mechanical bodies, was besieging her, but the woman was completely suppressing them.

His Peak Maid Corps was already besieging the third pseudo-S rank psionicist.

The Seven Stars Sword Formation was good at dealing with multiple enemies against one, and that side was basically able to take it down.

His eight top-level loyal wingmen joining the battle could indeed reverse the situation.

Local accumulated advantages can be transformed into overall advantages, and ultimately turn defeat into victory!

While Wang Ji Xuan was recovering his mana, he watched the most intense area of battle.

Black Shell and the black smoke giant were still fighting.

Somewhat bad was that the Black Shell's mecha's offensive had begun to decline.

The black smoke giant had begun to adapt to its own ability enhancement, its combat power constantly rising, and even had the spare power to constantly throw out团团 of black smoke. Wherever the black smoke passed, batches and batches of warriors fell.

He wanted to slaughter the entire military camp.

Wang Ji Xuan calmed his mind, he could only solve the second pseudo-S rank first, then restore his state to its peak, and then he could consider how to sneak attack this SS-rank psionicist.

The mana in his body recovered to sixty to seventy percent.

Wang Ji Xuan didn't wait any longer, he looked up at the woman floating in mid-air, looking for the other party's flaws.

'Her strength is really far inferior to Mo Feng, she only knows how to rudely control objects with telekinesis, it shouldn't be difficult to deal with.'

The Daoist came to this conclusion in his heart.

This woman continued to laugh wildly, indulging in her own power and unable to extricate herself.

Several armored vehicles, flattened by telekinetic power, floated around her, along with countless metal objects and broken walls. She continuously used these armored vehicles as cannonballs, launching them with her telekinetic abilities, each impact erupting in a blaze of fire.

The mechanical entities led by Mudan found it extremely difficult to get close at this moment.

Suddenly, Mudan received Wang Jixuan's telepathic message...

"Mudan, try to lure her to the ground."

"Yes, sir!"

Mudan took a light breath, and wearing black armor, she suddenly charged forward, long spear in hand, leaping into the air, her twin ponytails dancing behind her, heading straight for the pseudo-S-rank esper in mid-air.

The surrounding gun emplacements immediately increased their firepower to suppress her.

The woman in mid-air raised her right hand, and the surrounding objects quickly formed several layers of defense!

Mudan thrust her spear forward, unleashing a cyan arc of light!

"Hmph!"

The woman snorted coldly. She had already realized that mental attacks were ineffective against Mudan and the other mechanical entities. At this moment, she directly used telekinesis to control two wrecked vehicles, slamming them towards Mudan from the left and right!

Boom!

A dazzling fireball appeared in the air!

The female esper was stunned for a moment.

Through telekinetic feedback, she hadn't hit the body of the attacker.

In the gaps of her layered defenses, she caught a glimpse of the cold weapon spear held by a left hand, falling downwards in the explosion. The cross-section of the severed hand was not smooth, but had a circle of precise mechanical structures.

A severed hand? And then?

Something's not right!

The female esper suddenly looked up, seeing directly above her, in the weakest area of her defense, a black armored figure that had appeared at some unknown time, with a magnetic halo behind it, and had already completed its somersault!

Mudan's right fist was aimed at the esper's forehead, already activated to maximum power, layers of acceleration halos appearing on her right arm.

Thousand-Fold Electromagnetic Fist!

Bang!

Her right fist shot downwards like a cannonball!

Layers of telekinetic ripples visible to the naked eye appeared above the female esper's head. She hurriedly raised her hands, and the wreckage of the surrounding armored vehicles converged towards her.

The powerful telekinetic power almost fused her with the wreckage of these vehicles!

The electromagnetic fist smashed down!

A roar!

The metal sphere exploded, and the female esper's figure plummeted downwards, while Mudan, having released her strongest attack, was pushed by the reaction force towards the sky.

What a great opportunity!

Qing Guang burst out in Wang Jixuan's eyes, and with a sword pointing, the flying sword sped forth!

The magic power in his body was rapidly consumed, the flying sword was like a bottomless pit!

But!

A silver ribbon suddenly extended!

The flying sword seemed to be able to catch up with the disappearing light in front, passing through the gaps of the metal ball with incomparable naturalness and precision, appearing before the female esper's brow without any obstruction in the last gap before her telekinetic shield could recover.

One sword pierces through!

Annihilating soul and sweeping away the spirit!

The female esper was slightly startled, the world before her suddenly turning dark gray, her eyes widening, her body limply collapsing backwards.

The flying sword directly rushed out several kilometers, barely turning its head back before it was about to fly out of the edge of Wang Jixuan's spiritual consciousness, emitting a silver light, and flew back to Wang Jixuan's side close to the ground.

On the roof.

Wang Jixuan turned and slipped away, retreating towards the third hiding place he had found earlier.

At this moment, he couldn't care less about wasting resources, and directly took three crystalline cores of General-level Blade Beasts to set up a Spirit Release Formation.

"Mudan, are you alright?"

"Zzz... Mudan is fine, sir, looking for her hand, this fake S-rank is quite hand-consuming."

"After a short rest, go deal with those A-rank espers."

Wang Jixuan instructed, and glanced at the battle situation everywhere with his spiritual sense.

The semi-mechanical armor chief instructor seemed to be suppressed...

This biological grandfather of Ling Tong was being beaten back steadily by the Black Smoke Giant.

Wang Jixuan suddenly discovered that a large part of the spirit energy in the female esper who had just died disappeared out of thin air, and then, the spirit energy in the Black Smoke Giant increased to a certain extent.

This?

The more little brothers die, the stronger I become?

Wang Jixuan suddenly thought of some Blade Beast combat reports he had seen.

This is a characteristic that only some King-level Blade Beasts have!

On the periphery of the military camp, about two hundred mid- and high-level Mimic Blade Beasts had begun to attack.

Fortunately, Dongfang Zhenghong had not panicked, and the firepower points reserved at the edges continued to fire, and dozens of autonomous machines were killing these Mimic Blade Beasts everywhere.

Now, the most troublesome thing is still this Black Smoke Giant.

Inside the hangar, Chi She had prepared for a desperate battle.

Dongfang Zhenghong sent out more and more autonomous machines, and human soldiers suffered heavy casualties.

The Qi Sea in Wang Jixuan's body surged back and forth, relying on the crystalline core of the General-level Blade Beast, and quickly felt a sense of fullness.

Now, he has two paths to choose from.

The first is to imitate the last time when he cut Huo Rong, using the Buddha Formation to suppress the demonic energy and performing the Demon Formation to refine the soul, forcibly suppressing and killing this person.

The price is that he is very likely to become a demon this time, and he was already on the verge of becoming a demon last time.

The second is to continue to sneak attack with the power of the flying sword.

He estimated that he only has one strike that can directly threaten the Black Smoke Giant. After all, the quality of this flying sword is only medium-low, and it does consume a bit of magic power.

If this strike misses, he can only withdraw from the battle, and even the Buddha Demon Great Formation cannot be used.

Of course, he doesn't want to consider the third path too much.

After three seconds of contemplation, he has made a decision.

Wang Jixuan flicked his fingers lightly, and the flying sword revealed its shadow in front of him, making a clear sword cry.

"I'm counting on you."

He chose to trust the sword in his hand.

He then sent a telepathic message: "Instructor Shell, cooperate with me."
