Chapter 38 Killing Mutants like Slaughtering Dogs, People are Chilled, Want to Kill Auto Man?
Since the Ascension Sect dared to invite the upper echelon of the Mechanical Abyss to Xia City and set up a Mechanical Abyss base for experimentation,
they naturally weren't to be underestimated.
Many experts were concealed in their stronghold here.
Plus, the success of their latest research—the Aggregation S-type components!
These components, when installed within the steel Mutants, would allow these Mutants to evolve into stronger beings upon their deaths.
Boss-level Mutants!
In theory, with sufficient energy, materials, and components in the right quality and quantity, they could even give birth to Lord-level beings!
Even though the current technology and conditions of the Ascension Sect could only breed Boss-level Mutants,
it was still an extraordinary feat.
As this Boss-level Mutant joined the battle,
the pressure instantly lightened for the Ascension Sect members who had been surrounded by Ren Dongyang's elite bodyguard army.
"Kill them,"
Squad Leader Qian Yesheng, upon seeing the experiment's success, was overjoyed and shouted at the boss Mutant in delight.
"Roar!"
The boss Mutant's eyes flashed, and wielding a massive scythe burning with purple flames, it charged at Zhang Dali with great momentum, like a high-speed train crashing forward.
"Bang!"
Zhang Dali's pupils shrank in shock. As the leader of this group of elite bodyguards, he was the strongest, yet under such a frenzied attack, he was forced to retreat repeatedly, feeling immense pressure.
"Kill!"
Seeing this, the other Mutants roared in excitement and charged at Ren Dongyang's group of Auto Men bodyguards, their eyes gleaming with sinister bloodthirst, incredibly vicious.
Seeing the stalemate, Xu Gu had no intention of stepping in.
Instead, he turned around and stealthily moved to another location.
This was an exit,
the only exit.
Previously, there were Auto Men bodyguards blocking this exit, besieging the Ascension Sect Mutants and members.
Now, with the situation in a stalemate,
all the bodyguards here had gone over to assist,
so the Ascension Sect Mutants and members attempted to escape along this exit.
After all, this was a battlefield, and by staying here, their low-level combat power would only become cannon fodder. Winning or losing, they'd be cannon fodder, unable to help and only adding chaos.
However,
the end of the road was not a path to life,
but complete death.

...
Watching the continuous stream of Ascension Sect members and Mutants rushing out like dumplings, Xu Gu's lips curved upward.
The Blue Fury Sky Slash in his hand swung more sharply,
like One Slash to the Heavenly Gate!
A chilling light cut through the sky!
Everything it passed turned to nothingness.
These Ascension Sect members and Mutants didn't even have the time to react, or understand what was happening, before they saw a heaven-shattering slash suddenly fall.
Pupils contracted, Power Core ceased functioning, and they were overwhelmed with fear.
Countless questions filled their minds.
Could this slash even kill a Lord instantly? Such a powerful attack? You're using it on us?
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
Explosions rang out,
incredibly astounding,
shockingly impressive,
a spectacle of artistry.
Yet more magnificent was the near-overwhelming amount of Crystal Energy rushing into Xu Gu's body like a cascading ocean once the Mutants died.

Notification messages instantly 99+!
And at this moment, there were still Mutants and Ascension Sect members pouring out from inside.
These Ascension Sect individuals had long been thoroughly corrupt due to the unique power of the Mechanical Abyss in their minds, especially in such a crowded route. Despite problems arising at the front, the Mutants and Sect members behind continued to rush forward heedlessly.
As the outflow of Mutants and Ascension Sect members gradually thinned out, Xu Gu's eyes turned icy as he gripped the Blue Fury Sky Slash and proceeded deeper.
The large sword in his hand swung as all the Mutants that came to attack him on the road were cut down with a single slash.
Energy Liquid, resembling blood, splashed around.
Steel parts like bone and flesh scattered everywhere.
Sparks and electric arcs flickered.
...
"These Mutants and core members of the Ascension Sect are about to escape!"
"Quick, notify Young Master Dongyang and have him send reinforcements!"
"Otherwise, our efforts will be for nothing!"
"Quick!"
Zhang Dali was severely suppressed by the boss Mutant, his wrists had already cracked, and his entire body was riddled with severe injuries.
Even with several other powerful companions assisting him,
it was still like one fighting against many,
yet they were still at a disadvantage and could be defeated any moment.
If they were to face this monster alone, they'd be reduced to ashes in an instant!
However, at this moment, they finally noticed a change.
Instantly, fury surged within them, clenching their teeth in hatred.
"Courting death! Someone dares rob us of our rewards?"
"Who is it?"
"Get out of here at once, or the Ren family will settle accounts with you!"
Zhang Dali noticed someone hunting down the Ascension Sect members they considered off-limits, and his anger surged, even temporarily suppressing the boss Mutant before him.
He shouted angrily in Xu Gu's direction repeatedly.
"Who dares kill my Ascension Sect members?"
"Kill them for me!"
"Die!"
Not just Zhang Dali and the others grew furious; the high-ups and experts of the Ascension Sect were even more enraged, their expressions twisted with killing intent as they charged forward like mad.
They even disregarded the attacks of Ren Dongyang's bodyguards in front of them!
"Let them go!"
"Let them kill each other!"
Zhang Dali's face flashed with a hint of cruelty, and a dark, chillingly gleaming giant cannon appeared on his shoulder, charging up.
Seeing this, others likewise began charging their weapons, planning to unleash a barrage to decimate the Ascension Sect members and Xu Gu entirely!
However,
the anticipated standoff between the Ascension Sect experts and that mysterious figure didn't happen.
After a thunderous boom, it seemed to trigger a chain reaction, boom, boom, boom, like fireworks.
All the Ascension Sect experts charging at Xu Gu were cut down with one slash.
No exceptions.
Under the Blue Fury Sky Slash, all were equal.
It took only one cut.
"Damn it!"
"What's going on?"
Zhang Dali and the others' pupils contracted, incredibly disbelieving, unable to fathom the seemingly nightmarish Ascension Sect members were now so feeble under that colossal figure, like clay chickens and pottery dogs.
"Fire the cannon!"
"Help the Ascension Sect kill that guy!"
Zhang Dali's eyes were bloodshot; so many Ascension Sect members and a massive amount of extra points mustn't fall into the hands of that person before them.
It must be the Ren family's!
Even if it meant joining forces with those Ascension Sect beasts, it was worth it!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Without needing reminding, the other elite bodyguards also understood this clearly and launched the shells that had been charging for long.
"Hmm?" Feeling the cannon shell's world-destroying force pouring down like a heavy rain, Xu Gu was not the least bit flustered. Instead, he grinned, showing a hint of an eerie smile.
"Perfect, I've heard that killing Auto Men also grants Crystal Energy rewards."
