59 -59: Eradicate Evil Thoroughly

A Martial Artist leaped high into the air, firing his gun repeatedly while still aloft.

The bullets formed a dense net, pouring down on Xiang Shan.

Xiang Shan, however, performed a forward slide tackle, kneeling backwards while gliding along the ground.

His upper body fell back like a willow in the breeze as he lifted the walkie-talkie to his loudspeaker, continuing to sing loudly, “Wake up, get up, get out there[Wake up!

Get up!

Leave this place!] Raise your voice against liars[Sing out against the liars!]”

His posture was reminiscent of a recluse in storybooks who raises a cup of fine wine to toast to the sky.

Dozens of bullets whizzed by his face, armpits, groin, and head while also missing the two high-frequency blades coming at him.

The Martial Artist who had jumped up was one of Gleayard’s personal soldiers, trained in Gleayard’s “Tiger’s Astonishing Spear Technique.” He was the first to realize that Xiang Shan was deliberately targeting Firearm Warriors of the Firearms Path.

Seeing that he couldn’t secure the high ground in time, he had chosen instead to leap up and shoot.

But Xiang Shan had grasped the algorithm of this Martial Studies and vastly surpassed these bandits in the theoretical heights of martial arts.

With his lofty mastery of Kung Fu, he naturally outperformed Gleayard.

Furthermore, with the 0.4-second significant delay of the Martial Artists with high modification rates within the Z organization, he had completely seized the angles from which the opponent could possibly fire.

Before finishing a line of his song, Xiang Shan had already slid under the feet of the leaping Martial Artist.

He propped himself up on one hand, flipped his body upside down, hooked one leg around the enemy’s arm, and with the other leg, he unleashed his stored power, delivering a kicking strike to the enemy’s neck.

The warrior’s head twisted at an odd angle, instantly rendering him combat ineffective.

Xiang Shan quickly lifted the firearm, which had become an extension of the Martial Artist’s arm, adjusted the grip, and fired, repelling several Martial Artists who were closing in.

“He is…

a monster!

He’s not human!”

Finally, amidst the peaceful singing, a Green Forest bandit broke down.

“He’s not human!

He’s not a human!”

“Can martial arts really reach such a level!

Impossible!

Hahaha!

It’s impossible!”

“This is virtual reality!

This must be virtual reality!”

“Second-in-command!

Stop playing around!

Stop the illusion!”

“Hahaha!

What an unrealistic illusion…

no, wait, too realistic!”

Panic spread like a virus among the crowd, infecting and expanding rapidly.

The one singing while killing on the battlefield was definitely not a hero.

He was the final boss in a game, a scripted killer, an insurmountable level!

“Mama mia!

I’m not playing anymore!” One of the Green Forest bandits was the first to turn tail and run.

Where there is one, there will be more.

Morale melted away as quickly as snow under boiling water.

Even though a few leaders knew that “running away” meant certain death and the only chance for survival was to stand together and confront the enemy head-on, some attempted to execute deserters to rally morale.

Of course, no sooner had they made a move than Xiang Shan twisted their necks.

“The fakers[Those full of pretense]Are all sick at heart[Their hearts are diseased]Their faces hiding their fear[But they mask their panic with a facade]…” Xiang Shan, shouldering a rifle he had just seized, sang more leisurely than before, “They look down on[They look down on]All the rest of us[Everyone else]Like they’re some special breed[As if they’re born superior]”

But the more he sang like this, the less the bandits dared to confront him directly.

He seemed like something that could only exist in Yawgmoth’s forbidden fantasies, an unresistable death.

No one dared to engage him in battle anymore.

Xiang Shan nonchalantly carried the gun in one direction.

Occasionally, a Green Forest warrior, unable to find an escape route and too slow to dodge, would counterattack in desperation.

But Xiang Shan easily neutralized their efforts and dispatched them swiftly.

“A rabble,” Xiang Shan shook his head.

After the Combat Martial Artists scattered, if the Firearm Warriors had set up a position, they would have been able to suppress him a bit.

But now, the enemy no longer had any room to cooperate effectively.

Hack into the main server, place Gu on most of the Warriors.

Disrupt the highest authority’s command chain, ensuring that effective orders cannot be issued promptly and that the enemy cannot act in unison.

Take out the mid-level leadership that can direct on the front lines to sow disorder.

A group without order, whose skills are each other’s hindrance, cannot squeeze the space for the enemy to dodge, retreat, and maneuver.

Thus, “one against a hundred” is decomposed into a hundred instances of “one-on-one.”

“Hey, why are you all leaving!” After toppling a Martial Artist who fought back at the brink of death, Xiang Shan sighed and called out loudly, “Listen to me!

It’s dangerous over there, too!

You guys…

hey!

Why don’t you listen to advice?”

For a moment, a flood of Green Forest bandits surged into the corridor, which became extremely crowded.

Meanwhile, the Iron Dust within the tunnel still hadn’t dispersed.

Or rather…

Cybermen, who have a very low need for oxygen and an absurdly strong resistance to hypoxic injuries, required very little ventilation.

The Iron Dust in the corridor seemed like it could linger for quite a while longer.

Several bandits short-circuited due to the Iron Dust inside the tunnel, losing their ability to move, then were knocked over by their onrushing companions and grievously trampled.

The Martial Artists in the tunnel found themselves in a dilemma unable to utilize their martial arts.

Yet, they did not feel ashamed; instead, they felt a measure of relief.

For in this “disabled” state, Xiang Shan’s situation was the same.

Unless Xiang Shan’s Prosthetic Body was powerful enough to flatten a Cyberman into a pancake with his bare hands, he too would be unable to utilize his extraordinary martial arts in the tunnel.

In this tightly packed environment, the gap between Xiang Shan and the bandits was at its narrowest.

The criminals trailing behind finally reacted, raising their guns to create a blockade of fire.

But Xiang Shan didn’t even glance at them, instead, he unflinchingly advanced deeper into the heart of the chaos.

Currently inside, there were several subjects out of control due to Gu Poison that needed to be prioritized for elimination.

Relief washed over the Green Forest outlaws within the corridor.

But at that moment, a disturbance arose within the passageway.

Then, the crowd began to converge in one direction.

This Great Stockade originally had several exits, but now, most of them had been sealed shut.

Massive iron gates weighing tons separated the inside from the outside.

Xiang Shan had already used Gleayard’s authority to seal off most of the exits.

And the last exit was the parking lot where the motorcycles were parked; the gate was slowly closing.

Numerous Green Forest outlaws shoved and crowded each other as they rushed in.

But at that time, explosions occurred once again.

The motorcycles exploded in succession.

The entire parking lot was turned into a sea of fire.

At that moment, the Martial Artist closest to the iron gate had only managed to run half the distance.

The blast wind pushed him back, and the high temperatures scorched many criminals with lower levels of augmentation.

It was only then that Xiang Shan’s voice came through the loudspeaker, “Dear comrades of the Martial World, I did warn you, that place is dangerous; why didn’t you listen…”

Along with it, a pained grunt was heard.

Judging by the voice pattern, it seemed to belong to a master from the stormtrooper.

“Don’t worry, everyone gets a share.”

…………………………………

—Escape is a must.

That was the only thing on Little Poison Insect’s mind right now.

It was an unwinnable fight.

The Hero on the other side was clearly experienced, knowing how to split up the enemy’s formation.

And in a one-on-one situation, there was nobody in this Great Stockade capable of clashing with him.

After all…

Lev and Gleayard had both fallen.

Moreover, judging by the performance, most of the elite fighters in the stockade had been afflicted with Gu.

Little Poison Insect didn’t dare attempt to remove the Gu poison.

Based on Lev’s last transmission before his death, Vigorous Kui stood no chance against the opponent’s Inner Strength.

Little Poison Insect, only slightly stronger than Vigorous Kui, feared he would also be instantly killed if he approached.

The Second-in-command simply lacked the courage to resist.

He was terrified that the singing grim reaper would come for him.

Therefore, as his subordinates started to crumble, he had already decided to flee.

He quickly got up from his room’s broadcast station and then rushed back to the Training Room he shared with the Big Boss—this was where they studied the Demon Sect’s Martial Arts.

He grabbed the hard drive he was originally reading and slung over his shoulder the backup of the collective memory of his stockade, then rushed towards the depths of the base.

Every leader had a passage directly connected to their own room—a privilege.

There was a mechanical combination lock here, no need to worry about being hacked.

Little Poison Insect swiftly unlocked the password and then pressed the dedicated circuit switch.

The massive gate slowly rose.

Little Poison Insect did not wait for the gate to fully rise before he attempted to leave.

But at that moment, a shrill whistling sound suddenly emerged from behind him.

He recognized the sound.

It was the noise produced by subsonic movement.

With no other choice, Little Poison Insect turned to face the incoming attack.

His fists met his enemy’s Stabbing Fist head-on.

He used force, hoping the move would throw him into the midst of his comrades.

But the person reacted faster, instantly changing the direction of the fist, shifting from stabbing to pressing, pinning the off-the-ground Little Poison Insect to the floor, then a kick sent him flying away from the gate.

After doing all this, he threw another item he was holding in his hand into the gate.

Little Poison Insect, not afflicted with Gu, had good eyesight—he could see clearly, it was a stormtrooper master.

This Firearm Warrior was an expert in explosives, carrying a string of remote-controlled mines with him.

And now, the warrior had been decapitated, tied up with a string of mines, and thrown by Xiang Shan into the passageway.

Xiang Shan turned to face Little Poison Insect, simultaneously hitting the gate button with the back of his hand.

The gate slowly closed.

Xiang Shan hummed a soothing tune, spread his hands, and gestured towards Little Poison Insect, beckoning him to come and attack.

A muffled explosion sounded from behind the solid iron door.

That steel-made gate even appeared to slightly deform and twist.

The vibration dislodged a few threads of dust from the ceiling, falling between the two men.

Little Poison Insect despaired.

It was obvious that the other party had used the Green Forest man’s neural chip to time the detonator signal, triggering the mines and collapsing the passage.

Trapped in a dire situation, the Internal Martial Artist assumed a basic boxing stance and launched into a kick.

Xiang Shan sidestepped the kick and then shouldered him back ten meters, “Without a Vector Injector, you dare to leave the ground with both feet?

Do you really know Martial Arts?”
