Chapter 196 You definitely need an alias to survive in the martial arts world.
As Wang Tan's exclamation rang out, a violent storm of soul power erupted from the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon.
Under Wang Tan's horrified gaze, the fixed-mount soul-guided cannon was deforming inch by inch, bending inward, as if some force inside was tearing the soul-guided cannon apart.
Years of combat experience had given Feng Yu a terrifying fighting instinct. The moment she sensed something was wrong, she had already fully activated her soul power shield and retreated.
Wang Tan's movements lagged behind Feng Yu's. Under the terrifying soul power storm, his soul guide shield was triggered, instantly illuminating a layer of yellow light.
the other side.
After making the marks, Wu Yuan counted the remaining number of people with a gloomy expression.
Few were able to escape the aftershocks of the explosions from the three Level 7 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells; most of those with cultivation levels at the fifth or sixth ring became cannon fodder.
"Captain Wu, three Soul Masters, seven Soul Kings, and four Soul Emperors including myself are still alive who managed to escape," a burly old man said as he approached Wu Yuan.
Upon hearing this, Wu Yuan slammed his fist into the boulder beside him, causing cracks to spread across its surface. Wu Yuan's face was also quite pale; the aftershocks of the explosion had still caused him considerable injuries, as his defenses were not particularly strong.
"Damn it, who dares to attack us!" Wu Yuan's blood surged, and a strange red color appeared on his pale face, winding like a centipede.
"The old monkey and the old lizard are still recovering from their injuries and have also been affected by the aftershocks of the explosion. Their situation is not optimistic. We can't wait for Lord Wangtan to return. We need to consider withdrawing to our defensive zone first," the old man said helplessly.
Just as Wu Yuan was about to say something, a violent fluctuation of soul power came. Wu Yuan's pupils contracted, and he looked seriously in the direction that Wang Tan and the other two were chasing.
A mushroom cloud, no smaller than the previous one, slowly rose.
Just as Wu Yuan was about to make a move, he suddenly felt a tremor in his heart and quickly looked up at the sky above.
The sky was filled with countless tiny black dots, each radiating intense soul power fluctuations.
"Enemy attack!" Wu Yuan shouted.
The "bird icicles" fell, accompanied by the explosion of stun grenades.
A series of explosions rang out, and Xiao Ye No. 2 quietly crept up behind Wu Yuan and delivered a backstab.
"You didn't expect that, did you? It's me, the sixth brother!"
-
Feng Yu suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and stood up. Her clothes were covered in charred marks, and in some places, the skin and flesh had been charred and congealed.
"Damn it, they actually set up an explosive device." Feng Yu clutched his right arm and staggered to Wang Tan's side.
Wang Tan's body was charred black, covered in large and small bloodstains, and his chest was rising and falling slightly, showing that he was seriously injured.
"Are you dead or not? If not, get up!" Feng Yu kicked Wang Tan.
"They're all wounded, so be gentle." Wang Tan coughed twice, struggled to sit up, and two charred metal pieces fell from his chest.
"I was careless. I didn't expect that," Wang Tan said.
"Can you still fight?" Feng Yu asked.
"I can barely maintain half of my combat strength. I didn't expect the explosion to happen in two parts. I've already used up my invincible shield and it also cost me a level seven soul guide shield." Wang Tan shook his head, trying to clear his mind.
"I reckon Wu Yuan and his group have already encountered another group. We need to hurry. Unfortunately, half of our people left a few days ago, so this time it looks like things are going to end badly!" Feng Yu said through gritted teeth.
"No, no, no, judging from the current situation of the two of you, misfortune is more likely." Ye Nanxiao slowly landed from the sky and said with a smile.
"Young man, which faction are you from? To be able to come up with such a grand gesture, you must be no ordinary person, right? Could you do the Ordinary Alliance a favor?" Wang Tan said calmly.
Ye Nanxiao wore a mask, but his face underneath was disguised. He was dressed in a red-cloud black robe and held an AK47 in his right hand.
"Face? Too bad your hair isn't red enough!" Ye Nanxiao picked up his gun and fired directly.
Having anticipated this, Feng Yu flashed in front of Wang Tan, her martial spirit manifesting, creating a layer of soul power wall that blocked Ye Nanxiao's attack.
Ye Nanxiao was prepared for this. With a flick of his left hand, two small silver spheres shot out, followed by three dark gray crossbows appearing in front of him.
"Let's test the new Zhuge crossbow today," Ye Nanxiao thought to himself.
The three Zhuge heavy crossbows are all 180 centimeters long and 140 centimeters wide when the mechanism is opened. The six dark holes at the front end gleam with a faint blue light, and each crossbow fires six deep blue lasers.
Feng Yu saw the silver ball that Ye Nanxiao threw out and used several bursts of soul power to shatter it.
After the silver ball exploded, it emitted a large plume of pale yellow smoke, causing Feng Yu and Wang Tan to instinctively hold their breath.
Feeling the tingling sensation on his skin, Wang Tan quickly used his soul power to transmit a message: "This smoke is strange. We shouldn't stay here for long. Let's retreat for now. I'll cover your retreat!"
Upon hearing Wang Tan's words, Feng Yu suddenly gathered all her soul power in her hand, unleashed a shockwave at Ye Nanxiao, and then quickly fled into the distance.
As soon as Wang Tan made a move, he felt a pang of fear. Without a second thought, he quickly lay down and simultaneously covered himself with three soul-guided shields.
Eighteen deep blue beams pierced through the soul-guiding shield and went straight into Wang Tan's body.
With a series of faint explosions, Wang Tan fell straight to the ground, blood seeping from his seven orifices, and a vertical bloodstain on his forehead was very conspicuous.
A figure suddenly rushed out from behind Ye Nanxiao and headed towards the direction of Little Ye No. 2.
After sensing Wang Tan's life force rapidly dissipating, Ye Nanxiao took out a test tube containing a pale gray powder. His left hand turned jade-colored, and he used his palm as a knife to cut open the sealed test tube, pouring the powder onto Wang Tan's body.
Upon contact with Wang Tan's corpse, the powder seemed to come alive, rapidly covering his entire body. At the same time, wisps of white smoke rose from Wang Tan's corpse, and his muscle tissue quickly dissolved.
After watching Wang Tan's body turn to ashes, Ye Nanxiao threw a few grenades, creating a large crater, before setting off to chase after Feng Yu.
When Feng Yu followed the signs to the place where Wu Yuan was temporarily resting, his view was filled with charred pits of varying sizes and charred corpses lying all over the ground.
Wu Yuan was being dragged to the ground by a man in black robes, his hands broken at a 90-degree angle, and foaming at the mouth.
Feng Yu glanced at Wu Yuan, then at Xiao Ye No. 2 draped in a black robe, and sneered, "You people are like persistent ghosts, rats hiding in the shadows. Tell me, whose lackeys are you? Or an assassin organization?"
"Oh dear, young lady, what makes you say that?" Little Leaf No. 3 emerged from the bushes behind Feng Yu, accompanied by two soul-guided cannons with four mechanical legs.
Seeing the two Soul Guidance Guardians beside Xiao Ye No. 3, Feng Yu's smile widened, and he said, "Mingde Hall has quite the grand scale."
"Oh dear, the young lady has discovered us. In that case, please stay and be our guest." Little Ye No. 3 pointed at Feng Yu, and light began to gather from the mouths of the two soul-guided guard cannons beside him.
Feng Yu stopped smiling, gathered her soul power, and her face instantly turned deathly pale. She rushed into the sky and fled, her body radiating light, though the light was visibly weakening.
"It seems he's burning his life essence." Little Leaf No. 3 lowered his hand.
"This Wu Yuan isn't enough for me; I haven't even used up the power my main body gave me." Xiao Ye No. 2 casually tossed Wu Yuan to the ground. Behind Xiao Ye No. 2, a dozen elderly men covered in bullet holes were lying there.
"These Soul Emperors are quite resilient. This time, we suffered a major loss, wasting a lot of the stun grenades we developed and even losing one Soul Guidance Guardian." Xiao Ye No. 3 tallied the losses and squatted down to check the extent of the damage to the two Soul Guidance Guardians.
"But that girl's thought process saved us the trouble of coming up with a new identity." Ye Nanxiao landed from the air.
"The attack power of the Soul Guide Guardian needs to be improved. The most urgent thing to upgrade is the armor on the guard. Guardian Number Three couldn't withstand a few punches from that old monkey burning its life force," said Little Leaf Number Three.
"That's already pretty impressive. It's only a level 5 Soul Guardian, still in the testing phase. It's already good enough that it can withstand a few bursts of damage from a powerful offensive Soul Emperor at the cost of his life," Little Leaf No. 2 said with a shrug.
Ye Nanxiao arrived at the scene while his two clones were cleaning up the battlefield.
"Although we deliberately let one escape, I think it's better if we create a new alias. We might be able to use it later," Ye Nanxiao said, stroking his chin.
"The Rice Bag Carrying Organization? Or should we just call it Xiao?" Xiao Ye No. 3 asked, stroking his chin.
"Let's name it Mingde Hall, or Mingwei, so it'll be easier to shift the blame," said Xiao Ye No. 2.
Ye Nanxiao nodded, and the three of them quickly cleaned up the battlefield, disposed of the corpses, and after confirming that all traces of the battle had been covered, Ye Nanxiao deliberately embedded a piece of charred metal into a tree.
The metal plate has half of the Mingdetang logo on it.
After changing his clothes and disguise, Ye Nanxiao entered through the city gate of Mingdu and went straight to Xuan Ziwen's private residence and small laboratory.
When Ye Nanxiao pushed open Xuan Ziwen's door, a large amount of messy metal was pushed behind the door, and Xuan Ziwen sat in the middle of a pile of metal, holding an unknown carving knife in his hand and carving on a piece of metal. Judging from the state of the metal around Xuan Ziwen, he had failed many times.
"Are you... cultivating immortality?" Ye Nanxiao squatted down and picked up a metal block to examine it.
Xuan Ziwen sensed Ye Nanxiao as soon as he stepped into the vicinity of the house, but since Ye Nanxiao did not conceal his aura, Xuan Ziwen did not raise his head to look at Ye Nanxiao.
Hearing Ye Nanxiao's voice, Xuan Ziwen looked up at him and asked, "Ye Nanxiao? Are you wearing a mask?"
Ye Nanxiao touched his face, then remembered that he hadn't removed the disguise. Wearing the disguised face, he said, "Yeah, I bought it on the black market. What do you think, does it look good?"
"Your aesthetic sense has always been outside the mainstream, or to put it more nicely, it's quite unique," Xuan Ziwen said, before continuing his carving.
Ye Nanxiao rolled his eyes in anger.
Does someone whose brain is filled with rare metals understand aesthetics?
"Let's put that aside for now. Have you been up to something big lately? The underground was in an uproar just now, and it's related to Mingde Hall. Let me guess, were Shangguan Wei'er's people your doing?" Xuan Ziwen asked without looking up.
"Yes." Ye Nanxiao nodded in agreement.
Xuan Ziwen nodded and continued his research. He was only slightly surprised when he received the message from underground.
This person is a research fanatic. The underground Soul Master community is just one way for Xuan Ziwen to collect rare metals. He values research results more.
"Mingde Hall will be busy now. Shangguan Weier has worked hard for so many years and she's not someone to be trifled with. She has the royal family behind her, at least for now. We have to be extra careful. But as long as it doesn't affect my research, that's fine." Xuan Ziwen put down the soul tool that was emitting blue smoke and shook his head.
"Imitation of sealed baby bottles? Your soul guidance circuit isn't very good." Ye Nanxiao glanced at it and said.
"We can't just copy the template you gave us, can we? How are we supposed to update the later bottle technology then?" Xuan Ziwen glanced at Ye Nanxiao and then said, "I really envy you geniuses. I don't know how your brains are structured."
"Well, you'll probably find out when medicine advances further," Ye Nanxiao said earnestly.
"What does this have to do with medicine?" Xuan Ziwen asked, puzzled.
"Why don't we just dissect a genius's brain and see what's going on? It's that simple," Ye Nanxiao said.
"Are you suggesting I get a brain transplant?" Xuan Ziwen said, his eyes narrowed.
I got home in the rain and found that my computer was broken, so I quickly took it to get it repaired.
Typing on a phone is great, but it strains the eyes a bit.
