    A group of mysterious figures were rapidly and silently gathering. "The Human Emperor is dead; now is the perfect opportunity for us to eliminate the Wind Chaser's henchmen! They are currently in seclusion, unable to deal with us, so you can attack with full force!" A chilling voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence of the night. "Yes, sir!" A man dressed in black replied in a low voice. As his words fell, hundreds of dark figures, previously hidden in the shadows, instantly appeared. These people were agile and moved like the wind, approaching the gates of the Grand Elder's residence in the blink of an eye. Since the newcomers made no attempt to conceal themselves, the guards inside quickly noticed something amiss. "Who goes there! This is the Grand Elder's residence! Trespassers will be killed without mercy!" A guard captain shouted. *Thud!* A sword flew out, decapitating the guard captain. "Enemy attack!" The guards immediately shouted. A group of highly trained and agile assassins swiftly stormed into the Supreme Grand Elder's mansion like ghosts. In an instant, shouts of battle and the clashing of weapons echoed throughout the entire residence. The guards, though caught off guard, reacted quickly, immediately raising their weapons to meet the attack and engaging the uninvited guests in fierce combat. Just as the battle raged on, a deafening roar suddenly echoed from the sky. Several airships appeared overhead, their hatches opening to reveal gleaming crystal cannons. Immediately afterward, several dazzling beams of energy erupted from these cannons, crashing down upon the fighting assassins on the ground with overwhelming force. Several assassins, all above level 50, were unable to dodge and were directly struck by the powerful energy beams. Instantly, their bodies, like porcelain struck by a heavy hammer, were riddled with gaping holes. Before the blood could even flow, it was instantly evaporated by the intense heat, leaving only a charred mark. "Boom!" A blinding light streaked across the sky, striking a small airship with unerring accuracy. The airship couldn't withstand such a terrifying attack and was instantly blasted into countless fragments before crashing to the ground with a deafening roar, bursting into flames. Simultaneously, in the distant horizon, over thirty medium-sized airships and a massive giant airship hurtled towards them. They resembled a dark, oppressive cloud, exuding a heavy sense of dread. At this moment, the airship base deployed by Chasing Wind outside the city also received urgent intelligence. Upon receiving the order, the airships in the base started their engines, quickly taking off and speeding towards the battlefield. Chasing Wind's side possessed a magnificent large airship as its flagship, along with three medium-sized airships and ten small airships to support the operation. In contrast, the enemy deployed a large airship of similar size, along with as many as thirty-five medium-sized airships, forming a terrifyingly powerful force. Moreover, all the enemies were dressed in uniform black night-clothes, their faces completely covered by black cloth, making it impossible to discern their true identities. At this critical moment, the mech guard appeared before everyone like divine intervention! Two ten-meter-tall upgraded Titan mechs stood majestically in front, piloted by two highly trained pilots. Each Titan mech was equipped with a terrifying God-Slaying Close-In Weapon, an incredibly sharp lizard bone sword, and an indestructible lizard bone shield. Simultaneously, eight four-meter-tall upgraded Night Owl mechs were rapidly forming ranks. These Night Owl mechs were also well-equipped, wielding powerful Immortal-Slaying Mech Cannons, gleaming lizard bone knives, and lizard bone shields providing robust protection. It's worth mentioning that the bullets fired by both mechs are crafted using C-grade special metal bestowed by the Human Emperor, combined with high-grade alloys from the human world. The destructive power of these bullets is simply unimaginable! The close-in weapon system (CIWS) fired by the Titan mech is even more terrifying, possessing the power to instantly shatter the defenses of a level 70 Spirit Master. Even a level 80 Spirit Master, with even greater strength, would likely struggle to withstand the saturation barrage of hundreds of such shells. The individual mechs' attack capabilities are equally formidable; they can instantly annihilate a level 60 Spirit Master, and even a level 70 Spirit Master would be severely injured if struck by around two hundred bullets. Once the Titan and Night Owl mechs appeared, they immediately locked onto the enemy with overwhelming force. The CIWS could fire an astonishing six thousand rounds per minute, while the Immortal Slaughter mech's cannon reached a rate of one thousand rounds per minute. Such dense and rapid firepower left the enemy with nowhere to hide! A burst of gunfire erupted. "Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ahhh!" Came screams of agony. A group of level 60+ assassins approached silently like ghosts, but they never expected a nightmare to await them! The cold muzzles of the mechs unleashed a relentless barrage of bullets, weaving a deadly net. A series of rapid "thuds" followed, and the assassins were instantly riddled with bullets. Their bodies were mangled, blood splattering everywhere—a gruesome sight. With a final, desperate scream, the assassins finally died. At the same time, the level 70+ spirit masters also met their demise. The Titan mechs' unparalleled firepower relentlessly bombarded them, plunging the hit spirit masters into dire straits. Some had their arms and legs blown off instantly, limbs flying everywhere; others had their heads explode like watermelons, brains splattering everywhere; still others were cut in half at the waist, their internal organs spilling out. Even worse, some had several huge holes punched into their bodies, dying without even a groan. In less than a minute, all the enemies on the ground had been killed or wounded. The once-fierce assassins, hundreds of general-level and marquis-level experts, were now piles of mangled, bloody flesh—a scene of extreme gore and horrifying horror. However, this fierce battle was not over. In the sky, the battle was equally intense. The forces of Chasing Wind had suffered heavy losses, leaving only one large airship, one medium-sized airship, and five small airships struggling to hold on in the air. The Titan mechs clearly wouldn't give them any respite; they quickly adjusted their cannons and precisely locked onto the enemy airships. Immediately following, a deafening roar erupted as the Titan mechs' close-in weapon systems opened fire at an astonishing rate. In an instant, countless dazzling points of light seemed to bloom across the night sky, sweeping across like a meteor shower. Under this ferocious attack, the enemy airships were utterly powerless, riddled with holes in the blink of an eye, resembling tattered sieves. With each deafening crash, these airships lost control, plummeting into the ground, turning into blazing fireballs. Less than a minute later, the enemy's once-mighty airships, like kites with broken strings, were falling to the ground. In stark contrast, the Wind Chaser's forces, while temporarily withstanding the enemy's fierce attack, still paid a heavy price. Three small airships were unfortunately hit by enemy fire, instantly turning into blazing fireballs and plummeting straight down from the sky. The remaining surviving airships were also badly damaged, suffering varying degrees of severe injuries, and were clearly unable to fight any longer, leaving them no choice but to withdraw from the battle. "What... What is going on?! Is this the legendary high-tech power possessed by humanity? A dozen mechs were able to easily annihilate our entire powerful force!!!" A surviving assassin shouted in terror. Just then, several figures suddenly appeared in the sky like ghosts, radiating a chilling aura—they were all level 80+ King-level powerhouses! One of the King-level powerhouses, wielding a giant axe, had a grim expression. He gripped his axe tightly and gritted his teeth, saying, "This is truly unexpected! These seemingly insignificant steel monsters possess such terrifying destructive power, wiping out so many of our elite troops in just one minute!" His words were filled with regret and resentment. However, what these King-level powerhouses were unaware of was that the reason these mechs before them appeared so incredibly powerful was because they were upgraded versions, meticulously crafted using special metals from this world. These unique metals possessed unimaginable toughness and strength, greatly enhancing the mechs' performance and making them far more powerful than even the most advanced combat mechs on Earth. After all, such rare and precious metals were unheard of and unseen on Earth. While these King-level powerhouses were still in shock, the two imposing Titan mechs had already silently locked onto them within their targeting systems. Then, a deafening roar resounded as the Titan mechs' God-Slaying Cannons once again spewed forth scorching flames, a dense barrage of shells raining down on the King-level powerhouses. The King-level powerhouse in front instantly activated his strongest defense, erecting a massive multi-elemental shield before him. "Clang! Clang! Clang!" In just three seconds, the shield was shattered by the powerful firepower. A dense hail of bullets rained down, instantly injuring the King-level expert. Several bullets struck his body, quickly breaching his elemental shield and embedding themselves in his flesh and bone. "Ah!" The expert quickly teleported away, dodging the barrage. Another King-level expert wielding a spear teleported in front of a mech and thrust his spear. This so-called teleportation was actually just the use of elemental power for rapid movement, a burst of speed in an instant. Because the human eye can't keep up with this speed, it appears as if he teleported, but it's ineffective against mechs, as they are locked on. The mech's image processing speed is thousands of times faster than the human eye. "Clang!" The bone shield blocked the thrusting spear, and Titan One drew its bone sword and slashed out. The King-level expert's fatal blow was blocked; he was shocked that this massive iron behemoth reacted so quickly. "Bang! Bang!" Two loud sounds rang out. In that instant, two gleaming, god-slaying sniper bullets streaked across the sky like lightning, hurtling towards their targets at astonishing speed. Their targets were the two already severely wounded King-level experts. The first bullet struck the head of the first wounded King-level expert precisely; the powerful impact instantly shattered his skull, splattering brains and blood everywhere – a gruesome sight. Almost simultaneously, the second bullet struck the forehead of the King-level expert wielding the long spear. Had these two been prepared, their superior strength might have allowed them to escape. But now, they were completely unprepared, brazenly using their heads to meet the devastating power of the bullets. These were deadly weapons fired from the Titan mech's god-slaying sniper cannon! Two muffled thuds followed, like two ripe watermelons being smashed open by a heavy object. The heads of the two King-level experts instantly turned into a bloody, mangled mess, brains and bone fragments mixed together, a chilling sight. They didn't even have time to scream before they died on the spot. The other King-level experts in the sky witnessed this scene and were all dumbfounded. "Wh... What!!!" One of them was so shocked that he almost fell from the sky, his face full of disbelief. "What on earth happened? Even King-level experts were killed so easily!" Another King-level expert said in a trembling voice, "We seriously underestimated these guys' combat power! This is a nightmare!" At this moment, their hearts were filled with fear and regret. If they had known that the enemy possessed such terrifying weapons, they would never have been so careless and reckless. However, it was too late to say anything now. They could only watch helplessly as their companions died tragically before their eyes. "What a bunch of useless trash!!! Did you really have to make us come out?!" Twelve figures appeared in the sky. Just then, twelve streaks of light suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by twelve Emperor-level powerhouses who appeared before everyone like gods descending from the heavens. Each of them emanated a terrifyingly powerful energy fluctuation, as if the entire space trembled at their arrival. Two of the Emperor-level powerhouses launched their attacks without hesitation, unleashing terrifying power instantly, and enormous Dharma images appeared behind them. Since they were all masked, they skipped the self-announcing of their titles and the skill incantation. In an instant, two dazzling golden rays pierced the sky, transforming into two giant golden swords that crashed down upon the two incomparably powerful Titan mechs. However, facing such a fierce attack, the Titan mechs merely raised one arm, lifting a massive bone shield. A deafening clang resounded, sparks flying everywhere. The two golden swords, capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, were simply blocked! This result utterly shocked the two Emperor-level powerhouses who had attacked! They were, after all, level 93 super-powerful individuals! Their all-out, deadly attack had been so easily blocked! This was utterly unbelievable! Could these two armored monsters actually possess the terrifying strength of an Emperor-level being? Little did they know that even Queen Letizia, whose strength was comparable to Lü Wudi's, wielding a Sacred Treasure weapon, had only managed to pierce the surface of this lizard monster's skin. As for its iron-hard bones, they remained completely undamaged! Later, Queen Letizia and Li Qing joined forces, firing two consecutive God-Slaying Bullets before finally managing to break through its skull by a few centimeters. Finally, they spent a full minute using the Sacred Treasure-level Radiant Diamond Flower to finally pierce through the lizard monster's skull! These two Emperor-level powerhouses didn't possess Sacred Treasure weapons, only peak-level Heavy Treasure weapons—how could they possibly break through the lizard's bone shield? The lizard bone shield had a layer of C-grade special metal inside, inlaid with several large pieces of lizard monster bones, its defensive power approaching that of a sacred treasure armor. "Clang, clang, clang!" Several Emperor-level powerhouses attacked simultaneously, but the Titan mechs raised their shields to defend. At this moment, the other individual mechs also raised their cannons to fire at the King-level powerhouses. "Don't get entangled with these two iron-clad bastards, go kill Lü Wudi and Xu Hu directly," one of the Emperor-level powerhouses shouted. The Titan mechs had run out of ammunition; bullets couldn't inflict fatal damage on the Emperor-level powerhouses, only cause them some trouble and deplete their spiritual energy. Two Emperor-level powerhouses continued to entangle the Titans, while five King-level powerhouses fought against eight individual mechs. The remaining ten Emperor-level powerhouses began to loot the buildings, some searching the treasure vaults; they too had come with the purpose of plundering treasures. A deafening roar erupted as the once tranquil chamber's door shattered into pieces, splintering wood and billowing smoke. Lu Wudi and Xu Hu, who were in seclusion inside, were jolted awake, sensing a powerful aura of danger approaching. Their brows furrowed slightly, but they remained still. Just then, a wildly arrogant laugh rang out: "Hahaha! You have no chance of escape today! Die!" With this laugh, a tall, imposing Emperor-level expert, radiating a terrifying aura, appeared like a ghost. He gripped an enormous sword, its blade gleaming with a chilling light. In the blink of an eye, the Emperor-level expert swung his sword, unleashing a devastating blow at Lu Wudi. However, facing such a fierce attack, Lu Wudi showed no fear. He suppressed the surging internal energy within him and abruptly ended his seclusion. In an instant, his aura surged, and his two fingers shot out like lightning, precisely catching the incoming giant sword. At the same time, his other fist lashed out with overwhelming force, striking the Emperor-level expert squarely in the chest. "Bang!" Another muffled thud resounded, and the Emperor-level expert, without any time to react, was sent flying like a cannonball, bursting through the roof and soaring into the sky. Lü Wudi, who had unleashed this series of counterattacks, was also in dire straits. Due to forcibly stopping his seclusion, he suffered a severe backlash; his blood and qi churned violently, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood with a sweet taste in his throat. His body swayed precariously, like a candle flickering in the wind, on the verge of collapse. However, even with his serious injuries, Lü Wudi dared not delay for a moment. He braced himself and quickly pulled Xu Hu into his spatial ring. Then, he retrieved his renowned halberd from the ring, and with a leap, transformed into a streak of light, rapidly pursuing the Emperor-level expert he had just knocked away. Meanwhile, the expert who had been sent flying by Lü Wudi's punch was filled with fear and shock. He had assumed he was doomed, after all, his opponent was a peerless expert of level 99, and had attacked in a fit of rage. Normally, being struck by such a figure would result in instant death or severe injury, rendering him immobile. But to his utter surprise, he had only suffered minor internal injuries and retained his mobility. "Not good! Lu Wudi forcibly stopped his closed-door cultivation just now, he must be severely injured, but his strength is still not to be underestimated. Everyone, attack together! Xu Hu must have been taken into his spatial ring by him, we can't let them escape!" Realizing the situation was dire, he shouted loudly, calling on his companions to attack Lu Wudi together. A thrilling life-or-death battle thus began! Now the Titan mechs were out of ammunition and could only fight with greatswords and bone shields, far from being a match for Emperor-level experts, but relying on their strong defenses, even Emperor-level experts couldn't break through their bone shields for a while. Two Emperor-level experts were entangled with the Titan mechs, and five King-level experts were entangled with the single-soldier mechs. The guards of the Supreme Grand Elder's Mansion also suffered heavy casualties, and all the experts from the Princess's Mansion had gone to the palace, so how could the remaining few dozen guards dare to come and help on their own! Ten Emperor-level experts, all between level ninety-one and ninety-three, surrounded and attacked the severely injured Lu Wudi alone. "You lowly scoundrels, only capable of such petty theft! If you've got the guts, come at me honestly! I can kill ten of you by myself, believe it or not!" Lu Wudi roared, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood. "Hahaha! Logically, we're all Emperor-level experts; we shouldn't be ganging up on you and ambushing you! But we're masked, so who knows who we are? How else can we kill a level 99 expert like you?!" A thin, masked Emperor-level expert sneered, his tone extremely frivolous. "Pfft!" Lu Wudi coughed up another mouthful of blood in anger, his body swaying precariously. Just as he was about to fall, the group of experts showed expressions of delight, hoping he would collapse and die on his own, rather than fight them like a cornered beast.
