Chapter 22 The Madness of the Ascension Sect! Xu Gu Faces the Assassination Calmly!

"Just standing guard outside, wouldn't that be dangerous? After all, the opponent is the Ascension Sect, wouldn't it be more prudent to have close protection?"

A member of the Blue and White Squad, Liang Wu, who is more stable, has always been the intelligent advisor of the team.

They kindly offered free protection services, but got rejected by Xu Gu with just a word, without even bothering to understand the situation, which would irritate anyone and cause them to be angry.

That's why he agreed to the team's suggestion to teach Xu Gu a small lesson.

But now that it comes down to it, he is somewhat fearful, worried that something might go wrong. After all, it's an S-level from Xia City that emerges only once every few years! There's no room for error!

Wang Lanlan has already transformed into a sleek dark blue female motorcycle, Mechanical Man, holding a sniper rifle and quietly finding a proper sniping point to lie in ambush.

Watching the team's chat room, seeing the messages from Liang Wu, Wang Lanlan frowns slightly and says:

"There shouldn't be a problem.

"He has over a dozen Level 30 bodyguards by his side, it's highly unlikely that all of them are D-level, their combat power shouldn't be too weak, they can handle his close-range defense. We guard the periphery.

"Even if real trouble arises that they can't deal with, those bodyguards can buy us time, and we can rush over promptly.

"I also want to protect him closely, but he doesn't want that. Instead of causing a conflict and giving the Ascension Sect an opportunity, it's better to do something."

Of course, she couldn't possibly allow her team members to act wilfully.

She had everything under control.

She always seeks stability in what she does.

"Received!"

"Worthy of being our captain! Not only is it foolproof, but it will also teach that arrogant kid a little lesson."

All the team members promptly replied with their acknowledgment. They were actually nervous, but after hearing Captain Wang Lanlan's analysis, they finally felt settled.

In the meantime, they had already taken up positions around the estate.

…

Xu Gu had a wide radar range, so naturally, he noticed the Blue and White Squad's movements, feeling somewhat helpless. Weren't they just adding to the chaos?

A bunch of Level 20-30 C-level motorcycles, whom could they protect? They couldn't even protect themselves.

Although moved by their actions, he was still preparing to send a message to Wang Lanlan asking these people to withdraw. If that failed, he would have to let Xia An take care of it.

But at that moment,

An intense noise suddenly came from the sky.

Like Divine Thunder exploding.

Then, a huge cargo helicopter dove down towards Xu Gu's Star Sky Manor.

"Damn it!"

"Are they crazy! Where did they get the cargo helicopter from!"

"Shoot it down for me!"

Wang Lanlan's pupils shrank sharply, and her face turned very unsightly, even standing up straight as she shouldered a person-tall dark blue sniper rifle, gleaming with dazzling light.

Instantly fully charged, she was ready to fire.

However,

Boom!

Not just above, but simultaneously, a dozen modified armed off-road vehicles sprang from all around, not transformed from people like Mechanical Man, but heading straight for the area where the Blue and White Squad was stationed and then exploding immediately!

The explosive power was significant!

The Blue and White Squad members, including Wang Lanlan who were about to fire and take down the cargo helicopter, were all injured in an instant.

"Captain!"

"We're under attack! Lots of Steel Deformation Beasts! Level 30!"

"They're strong!"

The team's communications were filled with shouts from the members.

These armed off-road vehicles were loaded with Steel Deformation Beasts whose minds had been eroded by the Mechanical Abyss.

These mutants had been permeated by the special power of the Mechanical Abyss, failed creations with not much consciousness or intelligence left, but with terrifying destructive power. Having retained a bit of intellect, they were capable of cooperating and using weapons, and they were far stronger than the Steel Beasts!

Before the armed off-road vehicles exploded, these Steel Deformation Beasts had already jumped off in advance, each holding a blade glowing with blue light.

With blood-red eyes, they charged towards the team like a torrent of steel.

Wang Lanlan was lifted by the sudden bomb blast. Shocked and anxious, she nevertheless managed to twist her body mid-air immediately, completing a turn, with the sniper rifle on her shoulder spitting out blue flames.

"Boom!"

The sniper rifle's high-pressure electrical energy bullet was fired, thunderous in its power, crashing down directly on the group of Steel Deformation Beasts attacking her.

The one in the forefront hadn't even been touched by the bullet when the formidable blast wave caved in its chest.

Then its body exploded loudly, like the Steel Beasts, with various metal parts scattering in all directions.

However, the other several Steel Deformation Beasts showed no fear and attacked even more fiercely.

"Fight first! Deal with the trouble at hand! Then go for support! Xu Gu has bodyguards, he can hold out for a while!"

Wang Lanlan's forehead veins bulged, feeling immense pressure, even she found the madness of the Ascension Sect terrifying!

She skillfully slung the sniper rifle on her back, drew two light swords from her waist, and dashed, almost as if leaping, toward the Steel Mutants.

"Bang!"

At Level 30, her power in Xia City was top-tier, and these Steel Mutants were mere chickens and dogs under her sword, one by one.

Just as the situation seemed to stabilize and the pressure lessened, Wang Lanlan took a deep breath and began to pay attention to Xu Gu's situation.

It was this look that almost sent Wang Lanlan into a frenzy.

She saw,

Armed helicopters in the sky dropped swarms of Steel Mutants, covered in thick black aura, descending like prehistoric beasts toward Xu Gu.

Xu Gu stood directly inside the Estate, facing these Steel Mutants of the Ascension Sect!

"Why is he alone? Where are the dozen Level 30 bodyguards he mentioned?!"

"He doesn't have bodyguards at all! Damn it! This is reckless! He doesn't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is!"

Wang Lanlan's heart-like Power Core felt as if it had been seized suddenly and was about to stop operating, her face full of panic.

If Xu Gu had no bodyguards, facing the Steel Mutants thrown from the transport helicopters by the Ascension Sect meant only one thing: a dead end!

Without a moment to lose, Wang Lanlan abandoned the Steel Mutants before her and charged forward like mad.

She transformed into a motorcycle form in an instant, with dual machine guns rising from the body, scything through the Steel Mutants behind her while planning to rescue Xu Gu.

However.

"Bang."

About several hundred meters ahead stood a huge Steel Mutant, colored green unlike the cheap white of the standard ones, with two horns on its head, a ferocious look, three meters tall, and emitting an exceedingly powerful aura.

This was an Elite Steel Mutant!

"Level 30, Elite Steel Mutant."

Wang Lanlan's breathing became rapid as her Power Core ran at overcapacity, filled with unease and despair.

In terms of strength, a Level 30 Elite Steel Mutant was on par with her!

But she was not good at close combat.

"Reinforcements? Dream on!"

The Elite Steel Mutant uttered a cruel voice, eyes flickering with ferocity, moving rapidly and swinging its scythe, slicing through the air.

"It's not Level 30! Level 35?!" Wang Lanlan's pupils dilated, using her dual swords to defend, immense forces bearing down on her like a mountain.

Boom!

Her body was sent flying backwards, her D-level Light Sword showing faint signs of cracking.

At the same time.

"Damn it! They actually sent an Elite Steel Mutant!"

"These Ascension Sect fanatics!"

"Save me!"

The desperate calls of Wang Lanlan's team members sounded, their faces changing, looking very unpleasant.

Especially when she looked towards Xu Gu.

The feeling of despair was almost tangible.

Opposite Xu Gu, not only stood a dozen Steel Mutants but also several Elite Steel Mutants, and their aura was no weaker than the Elite Steel Mutant in front of her.

"How could this happen..."

Wang Lanlan was tormented, her eyes full of terror and despair, unable to believe the Ascension Sect would be this crazy, making such a stir, could they actually assassinate the chairman?

Was it just to assassinate a newly awakened S-level?

But,

Just as she was about to risk everything, ready to take down as many Steel Mutants with her as possible in giving up life.

There was a loud noise in the distance.

"Boom!"

Xu Gu made his move.

In front of the members of the Blue-White Squad, the nightmare Steel Mutants, even the Elite Steel Mutants, were like chickens and dogs before Xu Gu.

Still, it was one with each slash.

"Too weak! Too weak! All too weak!"

"Is this all the people you have? You really underestimate me too much!"

And, Xu Gu's overwhelming words came at times.

Such a scene shocked the heavens and the earth.
