Boom!!!
The golden giant axe and the Black Shadow's massive black sword collided in midair, the earth-shattering impact echoing like a cannon blast.
Crack... crack... crack!
The sturdy asphalt road surface sank like it had been struck by an earthquake, spiderweb cracks spreading outward for nearly a hundred meters.
Clouds of dust and debris mixed with the swirling wind and waves.
Just as the shockwave threatened to kill ordinary people, a briefcase shot through the air, transforming into a black, prism-shaped shield in front of Luo Wantao. A Force Field barrier erupted, firmly protecting him in place.
"Is he dead?"
Squinting at the center of the deep crater, Luo Wantao knew Tang Lin's strength all too well.
Tang Lin was the sharpest blade in Luo Wantao's arsenal, the shadow that protected his position as Council Speaker.
In contrast, Utopia had never even heard of a Sixth-Tier Modified Human.
Buzz!!
Suddenly, a violent gust of wind erupted, scattering the dust and revealing a massive crater nearly a hundred meters wide. The figure wielding the golden giant axe stood amidst the wreckage, his black robes torn to shreds, revealing a suit of pitch-black bone armor and a grotesque face—half human, half skull.
With a grinding crack... crack... crack sound, the black giant sword unleashed a powerful Magnetic Field, while black energy coalesced into a Black Flame sword qi, poised to strike with overwhelming force.
But the demonic figure in bone armor proved to be immensely strong. Gripping the axe handle with both arms, he swung it with all his might.
Boom!
The Black Flame dissipated, and the giant sword flew backward.
Tang Lin's expression in midair shifted slightly. He watched as his opponent stomped the ground, vanishing from sight.
The black mechanical eye spun wildly, scanning the area. Under its gaze, he instantly located the figure's trail.
"You shall die!"
The roar echoed as the figure materialized before the imposing middle-aged man.
Phosphorus fire flickered in the hollow sockets of the skeletal eyes, meeting the cold gaze.
Chen Feng clearly saw the figure's lips move, forming syllables.
"Kill me? Are you prepared to pay the price?"
The deep, indifferent eyes and the stern, square face were shielded by the Flying Shuttle's Force Field.
This was the aura of a true ruler—a mere mortal possessing a resolve even Fifth-Tier Cyborgs lacked.
But alas...
"Killing you is like slaughtering a dog."
"What price is there to speak of?"
As the words fell, a flicker of change finally appeared in the indifferent, imposing gaze.
But before the figure could react, the golden giant axe had already transformed into a whirlwind, leaving afterimages as it swung horizontally.
Bang!
A muffled explosion reverberated as a hairline crack appeared in the Stellar Titanium Flying Shuttle's Force Field.
Tang Lin, descending from midair in a furious roar, raised his hand. The Flying Shuttle's Magnetic Field erupted, unleashing a wave of repulsive force and a beam of Black Flame energy to drive Chen Feng back.
Immediately after, the black giant sword that had been sent flying stabilized its momentum. It erupted with Black Flame, compressing the force of the impact and hurtling forward like a mechanical arrow.
Buzz!!
At the same moment, the Military and Yun Port Guard stationed near the high wall arrived on the scene.
Heavy Sniper Cannons charged with blue light particles, while powerful Force Field beams shot out from their turrets, locking onto everything like Mount Tai bearing down from above, suppressing the sky.
The world's light dimmed several degrees, and many from the various factions held their breath, watching as all the attacks were about to land.
Until the final moment.
"Open!!!"
A deep roar echoed as the figure in black bone armor endured the repulsion of the Force Field and the bombardment of black energy beams from the Flying Shuttle shield.
The black bone armor cracked, seemingly causing him injury.
Yet, his arms, still gripping the golden giant axe, swung again, defying all pressure and unleashing another surge of power.
Boom!
Crack!!
The Stellar Grade Titanium Flying Shuttle shield shattered completely, the black light Sniper Cannon device it had conjured being destroyed in the process.
Shards of debris flew into the air, reflecting the cold, eerie glow of phosphorus fire in his eyes.
For no apparent reason, all the attacks in midair came to a sudden halt.
Some people stood stunned, unsure what was happening.
Then it dawned on them. They saw the massive hand clad in black bone armor lunge out violently, clamping around the neck of the stern middle-aged man.
Buzz!!
The air exploded and then settled, as a giant black sword, hurtling through the sky like an arrow, stopped just half a foot from the figure's head.
Dust and debris swirled on the ground, a powerful Force Field enveloping the area, making it almost impossible to move.
Behind the figure in black bone armor, a tattered cloak fluttered in the wind. Its hollow white bone eye sockets stared blankly upward, clearly seeing several heavy Sniper Cannon energy beams frozen at their muzzles, unable to fire.
"Release Councilor Luo!!"
"Let go of him!!"
Shouts rang out one after another, from Tang Lin, who had been forced to halt mid-air in furious shock, to the Military personnel closing in from afar.
Boom! Boom! Boom!!
The Heaven's Punishment System in the sky locked onto the figure, thunder rumbling in its wake.
Aircraft swarmed in, their cannons trained on the figure. Modified Humans and Cyborgs on single-person aircraft flanked them, resembling ancient legends of giant gods and celestial warriors appearing overhead.
The ground trembled as armored vehicles and tanks, the military forces stationed here, rumbled into position.
There was no sign of life left above or below. Witnessing this scene, Lin Hao and the others from Jadeite Biotech wore grim expressions, knowing that Luo Wantao had nowhere left to run.
As if sharing the same thought, even with his throat pinned, Luo Wantao remained coldly indifferent, casting a sidelong glance at Chen Feng with the certainty that he was already a dead man.
"Let go of him!!"
Tang Lin roared again from mid-air, his black giant sword still hovering half an inch away, refusing to yield.
At the same time, Black Flame began to coalesce, forming what appeared to be a new Sniper Cannon muzzle at the sword's tip, poised to unleash a world-shattering strike.
Military personnel and Red Guard members also appeared on either side, their faces grim. Even from the high walls and city flanks, Sixth-Tier Modified Humans rocketed through the air, their jet trails blazing, ready to provide support.
"It seems they can't bear the cost of your death."
A low, indifferent voice suddenly spoke from the figure clad in black bone armor.
Luo Wantao frowned slightly, then felt a searing pain erupt from his neck.
Flesh tore, blood vessels crushed.
The moment his feet left the ground, breathing became a luxury. His face flushed crimson with purely physiological instinct, and he could only weakly grasp at his attacker's wrist in futile struggle.
After coldly observing for several seconds, Chen Feng tilted his head, glancing sideways at the crowd surrounding him.
The giant axe in his hand transformed into a golden Round Shield. He held it horizontally with one hand while gripping the middle-aged man's body with the other.
Facing numerous cold gazes and the rapidly approaching Sixth-Tier Modified Human in mid-air, he spoke in a low, synthesized voice that echoed through the air.
"Utopia... will prevail!!"
Pffft!!
With a sudden surge of force, the man's neck exploded, and his head tumbled to the ground.
The middle-aged man's dignified features were stripped of all dignity. His frozen eyes and crimson face remained fixed in their final moment.
Everyone froze in stunned silence for an instant. Then, a roar of fury shattered the stillness!
"Aaaah!!"
Tang Lin, suspended in mid-air, erupted in rage. His massive black sword ignited with a towering Black Flame as he slashed downward.
Buzz!!
The air vibrated, and a beam of black light erupted simultaneously.
At the same time, distant Sniper Cannons rained down, striking the figure in black bone armor with deadly accuracy.
BOOM!!
Another deep crater appeared in the ground, sending plumes of smoke billowing into the sky.
The group watching from afar stared in horror, completely unprepared to witness the death of a Council Speaker today.
As they watched the turbulent shockwaves and the fleeting energy beams, they knew this was all coming to an end.
No matter how ferocious the villain, such a devastating assault guaranteed certain death.
SWISH!!
Suddenly, the Black Shadow shot out, piercing through the smoke with a sonic boom, and slammed into the armored vehicles surrounding him.
A thunderous roar echoed as the sturdy steel war machines tumbled to the ground, rolling several times.
The crowd froze in shock, but high-level scanners quickly picked up the movement.
The figure in black bone armor was sprinting at breakneck speed. His armor had been breached, revealing gruesome, nearly-through-and-through wounds in his abdomen and chest.
Yet, incredibly, he seemed unfazed, plowing through several more armored vehicles, smashing straight through a high-rise wall, and charging into the street.
"Ah!!"
The panicked screams of the crowd echoed continuously, as a car swerved out of control and crashed into a streetlamp.
But none of this was the focus of everyone's attention.
Because...
"I'll kill you!!"
Tang Lin, clad in a gray overcoat, his eyes bloodshot, rode a black mechanical flying sword through the air in pursuit.
Meanwhile, aircraft and Flying Cars joined the chase, and Sixth-Tier Modified Humans emerged from the United Coalition Building to intercept him.
Whoosh!
Boom!!
A blue energy beam narrowly missed him, striking a corner of the street.
Debris filled the air, bricks flying in all directions.
Chen Feng's Perception detected military personnel shouting, warning against harming innocents and prohibiting the use of energy weapons at low altitudes.
Bang!!
He crashed through another empty wall, continuing his straight-line dash. He could feel the tearing pain in his body.
His chest and abdomen had been nearly pierced by an energy beam from a heavy sniper cannon.
If he hadn't used his Steel Bones to form a round shield to block the initial attack, he would likely have been killed.
Even so, the attack had left him severely wounded, his physical condition deteriorating significantly.
In the past, survival would have been nearly impossible. But now...
Buzz!!
With a thought, the stored Life Essence began to rapidly deplete.
All pain quickly subsided. The bloody wounds in his chest and abdomen began to writhe, flesh sprouting like buds, growing until they scabbed over.
The scene sent the pursuers behind into a panic. Some even suspected he was a Biological Cyborg infused with the Primordial Creature Blood Essence of some ancient creature.
Boom!!
A medium-sized Sniper Cannon was deployed—the most powerful weapon authorized for use in the city's central district.
A blue beam flashed past. Chen Feng stumbled but quickly regained his balance and surged forward again, now nearing a bridge at the edge of the city.
"Damn it!"
"This guy's a monster! The medium Sniper Cannon didn't even faze him!"
"What are we waiting for? We should just use heavy weapons to take him down now!!"
Frantic voices filled the communication channels, followed by a cold, authoritative voice.
"Flying General Zhao is coming!"
The moment the words fell, everyone in the aircraft and Flying Cars pursuing in the air froze.
Someone immediately activated a tracking scanner, and the image of a towering figure appeared in the distance.
He wore a white combat suit with red patterns, a crystal-like Flying General insignia on his chest. Though he appeared to be in his thirties, his face was stern. A trail of flame erupted from his back, propelling him like a rocket as he dove straight toward the fleeing Black Shadow.
"Stay right there!!"
The roar echoed through the air. The figure was still airborne, his right arm clenched into a fist.
A powerful Force Field erupted from his chest, instantly expanding outward.
The entire world seemed to be suppressed and enveloped, unable to move. Simultaneously, an advanced Energy Device activated, compressing energy into his palm.
My keen Perception detected a searing heat, and my body was also suppressed by the Force Field, momentarily paralyzed.
In that instant, Chen Feng narrowed his eyes, a golden hue subtly appearing on his fist.
Boom!!
Fist met fist!
The rocket-like figure's punch ignited a towering flame that plunged downward.
Like a volcanic eruption, the ground tiles instantly vaporized, leaving behind a charred crater that rapidly spread dozens of meters.
Crack... crack... crack... The sound of cracking echoed again, both from the ground shattering and the Black Armor's legs sinking into the earth.
There was also an unusual echo that didn't belong to the other party.
Crack!
Another crack appeared. Flying General Zhao's expression shifted as he clearly felt his fist armor crumble inch by inch.
The Black Bone Armor figure's clenched right fist broke through the mountain-like Force Field suppression, meeting his punch without yielding.
Before he could recover, the Black Armor figure's hollow white bone eye sockets fixed on him with a chilling gaze. His left fist, coiled at his waist like a loaded cannon, then unleashed a piercing sonic boom.
Boom!!!
The Force Field shattered completely, a fist landing squarely in Flying General Zhao's chest.
His Sixth-Tier Force Field shield hadn't even had time to fully envelop his body.
Flying General Zhao's pupils contracted. In the next instant, a surge of immense force erupted, sending his body hurtling backward at high speed.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Like a cannonball, he shot into the sky, crashing through a distant bridge and demolishing a corner of a skyscraper. The consecutive dull thuds sent the pursuing crowd into renewed shock.
"How could this be?!"
"How could Flying General Zhao be defeated?!"
"He let his guard down! He didn't even activate his Force Field shield or use his special Energy Device!"
"No, look!"
The urgent and furious voices in the communication channel erupted again. Everyone turned their gaze and were stunned to discover that the black-armored figure's injuries had already healed.
The hole that had pierced his chest and abdomen was completely gone. If they hadn't witnessed the scene firsthand and had the aircraft's scanning equipment recording the images, they would have thought it was a hallucination.
"What are you all standing around for?!"
"Kill him!!"
Suddenly, an aged roar echoed once more.
A black flying sword sliced through the sky, the figure in the gray tweed coat atop it with silver hair and bloodshot eyes bulging as if they were about to burst, hungry to devour.
Boom!!
In an instant, the massive black sword, propelled by a Magnetic Field and wreathed in Black Flame energy, slammed into the Black Armor figure.
The pristine city streets were left in ruins. Fire hydrants had exploded, sending plumes of water skyward.
Panes of glass shattered and flew through the air, while unmanned vehicles parked along the curb were twisted and deformed by the shockwave, their alarms blaring incessantly.
Even the nearby bridge cracked and threatened to collapse into the river below.
"Die! Die!!"
Tang Lin was nearly mad, his voice a hysterical shriek.
He was an old man who had followed his master every step of the way, from the weakest councilor in a small town to Yun Port, accompanying him to this day.
Yesterday's memories still felt fresh, but now...
Boom!
Crack! Crack! Crack!
A sudden, deafening roar echoed through the air as the massive black sword was caught in the figure's palms, its blade gripped firmly as it hung suspended in midair.
Cracks rapidly spread across the sword's surface as the figure slammed a fist down, shattering it completely.
The Stellar Grade Titanium Flying Shuttle suddenly seemed so fragile, and the memories that had flooded Tang Lin's mind were abruptly shattered.
"You're not good enough," Chen Feng said coldly, shaking his index finger.
As a swarm of aircraft surrounded them, a warship appeared in the sky above the high walls.
He didn't hesitate at all, leaping down immediately and plunging into the city's river.
"Not good!!"
Someone's face changed slightly, and they quickly alerted the city's gates and security to block off the waterways leading to the sea.
At the same time, there were people who immediately launched the pursuit, especially the mechanical-armed elder Tang Lin, who was thoroughly enraged, soaring low over the ground.
Buzz!!
The black flying sword's tail flame roared as he activated a special energy source once more, boosting his speed, trying to chase down his target along the river.
Meanwhile, several floating drones shifted around his body, transforming into sniping cannons ready to unleash beams of energy.
But things didn't go as he imagined.
The mechanical eye's energy scan showed an anomaly: the figure that should have been frantically swimming away was not escaping at all. Instead, the person suddenly turned around and shot up.
Splash!
Water exploded around him, and a massive hand burst through the river's surface like an arrow, grabbing Tang Lin's ankle in a vice grip.
Then, with a savage yank, he was dragged straight into the river!
