Chapter 39: Startling One-Time Accessory, Xu Gu Sheds His Disguise

Xu Gu's eyes slightly narrowed, the intent to kill already brewing in his heart.

These traitorous bastards dared to help the Ascension Sect.

If that was the case, then don't blame him for being ruthless with his blade.

Buzz!

Facing the barrage of bullets from the bodyguards, he swung his sword, not even needing to activate the S-level Ground State Nitrogen Element Matrix Barrier. The light saber slashed across dozens of meters.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

All the bullets were slashed down, exploding in the air without causing Xu Gu any harm.

"Roar!" A Boss-level steel Mutant seized the opportunity, its sickle engulfed in purple flames, suddenly swinging towards Xu Gu.

Bang!

With a single slash, the Boss-level Mutant's body flew backward like a cannonball.

Crunch!

The weapon in its hand snapped immediately.

Parts and Energy Liquid scattered in the air.

"How is this possible...?"

"You are!" Qian Yesheng, the hall leader of the Ascension Sect, just approached the battlefield. His pupils contracted, his heart trembled, and he looked at the giant in front of him as if he were looking at a monster.

Fear was written all over his face.

He recognized Xu Gu!

Xu Gu had made no attempt to disguise himself, change his body shape, or color, and the Ascension Sect had organized an assassination attempt on Xu Gu.

At that time, he was one of the conspirators.

He was naturally very familiar with Xu Gu's appearance and characteristics!

"How could you be Xu Gu?"

This news hit him like Thunderbolt, striking heavily on his processor, causing his body to tremble and, astonishingly, short-circuit.

His mind went blank, crashing on the spot.

Even with such a formidable fighter appearing in Xia City, he would have found it unbelievable.

Not to mention, Xu Gu, a new Auto Man, awakened not many days ago, had become so powerful!

Being able to repel a Level 30 Boss-level Mutant with a single stroke?

Is that scientific?

That is not scientific at all.

Am I really not dreaming?

Even at SSS-level, one couldn't achieve this, could they?

"What on earth is going on!"

Qian Yesheng felt a bit crazed, unable to understand and puzzled. For a moment, the whole person seemed a bit deranged.

It was as if he were demented and insane.

His information processing center was fried!

"What do you mean, 'what's going on'? Why is it impossible? A frog in a well!"

Xu Gu impatiently swung his sword, the blue blade flashed, directly slashing Qian Yesheng, the Ascension Sect Squad Leader.

"No!"

It was not until the end that Qian Yesheng came to his senses, but it was already too late.

The blade shone down like a waterfall upon him.

Swallowing him entirely in an instant.

Some flesh and blood turned into mud and splattered, some parts exploded directly, with smoke rising and emitting a foul smell.

This man, once the underground emperor who could summon the wind and rain in Xu City, had ended his sinful life.

"I'm so unwilling."

At the moment of death, his eyes were filled with fear and regret.

He had just arrived in Xia City, thinking it was the start of success, not expecting it to be the end of his life.

"This... is too terrifying!"

"Moreover, that mysterious fighter feels so familiar!"

"Like someone!"

"It can't possibly be him! Absolutely impossible!"

"But this resemblance is uncanny!"

Over where Zhang Dali was, someone recognized Xu Gu as well!

That newly awakened, civilian S-level Xu Gu in Xia City!

The result left them trembling, utterly incredulous, as if they had seen a ghost.

Especially under their artillery suppression, Xu Gu casually swung his sword and shattered all their bullets.

This kind of might was simply astounding to them.

Such a strong presence could even have a certain status in the Provincial City!

How could he appear in a small place like Xia City?

And especially Xu Gu! A newcomer Auto Man who had just awakened!

They wouldn't believe it even if they were beaten to death!

"No! It can't be him, it's just a bit similar! Yes! All heavy-duty trucks, looking a bit alike is normal."

Zhang Dali's pupils narrowed, forcibly convincing himself, a gleam of madness in his eyes, said,

"We must kill him, having already attacked him. Once he clears out the Ascension Sect's Mutants, it'll be our turn next!"

"Teaming up with that Boss-level Mutant, we can still stand a chance."

Other bodyguards echoed as well.

There needed to be more hesitation.

Their Auto Man ranks weren't high. The combat power they now possessed was forged through life and death struggles and years of crawling through the bottom ranks to elevate their levels and parts.

None of them was a gentle soul.

"Go!" Zhang Dali charged out, gritting his teeth and contacting Ren Dongyang.

"A mysterious strong one steps in, seizing our mission rewards! The opponent is also a heavy truck, uses a Light Saber, probably closely related to Xu Gu!"

"I suspect the strong one who helped Xu Gu level up during the Beast Tide was him!"

"What?" The panic-stricken Ren Dongyang, hiding in a safe zone, anxiously waiting for results from inside the base, exploded with anger.

The murderous intent reached its peak.

At the same time, the investigation he had ordered also produced results.

"When Xu Gu was attacked by Ascension Sect members, a mysterious strong one intervened, also using a high-temperature, high-pressure Flame Cannon!"

"Boom!"

Ren Dongyang abruptly stood up, gritting his teeth, the Evil Qi rampant across his face.

Xu Gu, oh Xu Gu!

I haven't come to you for trouble, and you dare come for me?

If I don't kill you in the future, I won't bear the surname Ren!

He was so furious he could spit blood.

For this day's events, how much had he planned? How much astonishing cost had he paid?

In the end, a group of B-level Auto Men cannon fodder was nearly his!

He had painstakingly found a stronghold and, at the cost of massive financial and human resources, managed to trap the Ascension Sect members.

As the mission was nearing completion, the substantial extra points were about to drop into his pocket.

But it all became a wedding dress for Xu Gu?

"Xu Gu, to steal food from a tiger's mouth, to offend me, Ren Dongyang, you've got guts! Let's see how tough your life is!" Ren Dongyang roared in fury.

"Young Master Dongyang, request permission to use the disposable part!"

Over on Zhang Dali's side, they had already joined forces with the Boss-level Mutant and reached a cooperation.

However, Zhang Dali knew well that defeating the opponent in this situation wasn't hard. But to kill them? Very difficult!

He could only use the precious disposable part!

But it was too valuable! If not for Ren Dongyang's fear of mission mishaps, he wouldn't carry such a piece.

"Permitted! Permitted! Permitted! Kill him for me! He must die!"

Ren Dongyang screamed hysterically.

A mere bodyguard dared to be presumptuous before him?

"Good!"

Zhang Dali received the answer, his heart leaping with joy, previous worries vanished, extremely excited, he looked at Xu Gu as if he were a dead man!

Not just him, the other ace bodyguards were excited and thrilled too.

Dare to rob their prey, seek death!

"Die!" Zhang Dali took several steps back, suddenly pulling a small box from his chest.

As the small box activated,

Instantly, the world was frozen, endless ice appeared on the ground, even the water vapor in the air was directly frozen, and the walls began to crumble.

"Boom!"

Cold light swept like a storm.

Crossing all four directions.

Extreme cold enveloped the world.

Some weaker Mutants instantly turned to ice, becoming statues.

Even the Boss-level Mutant staggered backward, the chill making it uncomfortable, if not for Zhang Dali patting it, forming a light ring on it.

Even if not frozen, it would have rigid limbs.

Xu Gu keenly noticed this change, although the chill posed no threat to him, out of caution, he did not advance immediately.

Though unsure of the purpose of the disposable part,

such valuable disposable parts were all potent!

Moreover, they were for one-time use.

They were parts used by top rich folks.

"Roar!"

Seeing Xu Gu retreat, Zhang Dali became increasingly complacent, placing his weapon atop the small box. Swish, a ray of cold light fell on his weapon.

His weapon instantly exhaled astonishing cold air, capable of freezing everything.

Other ace bodyguards did the same.

Even the Boss-level Mutant followed suit.

"Roar!" Sensing the incredible transformation of its weapon, the Boss-level steel Mutant roared in excitement, its gaze towards Xu Gu grew increasingly vicious.

Yang Xue, secretly watching all this, felt her previously excited mood evaporate at the introduction of the disposable part.

She knew the effects of the opponent's disposable part.

Extreme cold, the chill that spread, could hinder enemy actions, slow and decelerate their movements.

Additionally, extreme cold adhered to weapons, causing severe chill attacks under subsequent slashes with significant damage!

Their strengths were enhanced significantly!

"Is that all?"

"Only that?"

Xu Gu laughed.

If it were something that exploded like a nuclear bomb, he might fear it.

But this kind of thing, giving self-benefits and imposing negative effects on the enemy,

utterly useless for him.

Even a doubled firepower of ants remains ants, while dragons, even with a 50% slow down, remain dragons!

In a situation with such a power disparity, every flashy show is like a paper tiger, unable to withstand a blow!

"Arrogant!"

Seeing Xu Gu with a mocking expression, Zhang Dali was filled with rage, directly pouncing, his weapon enveloped in pervasive cold air, like an ice War God.

Behind him, the Boss-level Mutant, Elite Mutant, and Ren Dongyang's ace bodyguards all unleashed their full firepower.

Like vicious dogs pouncing forward.

"Die!"

The momentum was terrifying, roars tearing the air. Even those Xia City geniuses captured and shivering in the distant plaza were trembling fearfully.

And Xu Gu, however, remained calm and composed.

Facing such an attack, he merely swung his sword once.

Suddenly, heaven and earth were distinct!

A flash of white light passed swiftly without much remark and descended upon all the Auto Men and Mutants charging forward.

"Bang!"

First came a sound breaking through the air.

Following then,

Countless screams erupted!

They saw,

As the blade descended,

at the forefront, whether it be the menacing Mutants or the arrogant Ren Dongyang's bodyguard Auto Men, they all cracked instantly.

First, the weapons in their hands, then their entire bodies.

They split in two.

All vitality disappeared, turning into a pile of scrap metal, scattered all over the ground.

"No! How could this be possible!"

Zhang Dali's voice of despair echoed within the entire underground base, like a Divine Thunder exploding, mingled with intense terror and shock.
