Chapter 323: Chapter 288: Destruction!

"What doesn’t kill me will be killed by me, no exceptions."

Wu Xiaode said and continued to walk forward.

All the drones scattered, flew into the sky, and followed him from a distance.

A shrill and piercing air raid siren sounded throughout the city.

An electronic voice echoed through every playback device in the streets and alleys:

"One more hour until the meteor shower arrives."

"All citizens are requested to proceed to underground shelters."

"I repeat."

"All citizens must immediately go to underground shelters!"

The ground opened to reveal small compartments, somewhat like miniature elevators.

Scattered pedestrians jumped into the compartments and pressed the buttons above them.

Ding!

A gentle chime sounded.

A soft female voice followed:

"Identity verified, you will be directed to your designated underground shelter."

The compartments closed randomly.

From below, a dense sound of rail movement could be heard.

Soon, there were hardly any people left above ground.

No people, no cars, no shuttles, no large transport ships.

The whole world seemed to have fallen into silence.

"Interesting."

Wu Xiaode took a step forward, progressing along the deserted street.

The ground in front of him opened once again.

Several seven- or eight-meter-tall Mobile Battle Armors emerged in front of Wu Xiaode.

As soon as they rose from the ground, they activated all their heat weapons and fired at Wu Xiaode in unison.

A relentless barrage of missiles, bullets, lasers, particle beams, brainwaves, and microwaves launched, both visible and invisible, blanketing everything from thirty meters away from Wu Xiaode to the broken bridge, turning everything into scorching molten metal.

—That Evil Ghost naturally couldn’t withstand such an attack.

But Wu Xiaode’s true body was far away on the other side of the broken bridge, atop a tall building.

"Twenty-four Mobile Battle Armors in total, who’s up?" he asked.

"I can turn them all into scrap with one move," declared the One-eyed Giant.

It charged forward, leaped over the large river, and landed thunderously at the center of all the Mobile Battle Armors.

"Gentlemen, die."

The Giant sneered menacingly.

A deep red light flared across the field!

It lasted for two breaths before the myriad of manifestations slowly dimmed.

But the next moment—

All the Mechas sprung into action.

They drew their close-range weapons and charged at the One-eyed Giant.

Clang!

A great sword struck the One-eyed Giant, emitting a deafening noise.

"Huh?"

The One-eyed Giant staggered and voiced his surprise.

Across the large river, Wu Xiaode furrowed his brow but soon relaxed and said, "Be careful, it’s unmanned operation mode; they know your move only affects living beings."

"So it turns out, they’re quite clever, aren’t they?"

The One-eyed Giant pulled a Skull Mace entirely made of black skulls from the Void and started pounding each Mobile Battle Armor.

Any Mecha hit by the mace had its parts scatter all around.

In contrast, the One-eyed Giant seemed completely indifferent to the harm inflicted by the Mobile Battle Armors.

Even if a laser spear penetrated its body, it casually disassembled its form, causing the pierced bronze arms to vanish.

Fresh, unharmed bronze arms were promptly replaced, restoring its body to perfection.

The One-eyed Giant swung its Skull Mace rampageously, obliterating all the Mechas into broken bodies that lay unmoving on the ground.

On the other side of the large river.

Wu Xiaode snapped his fingers.

The One-eyed Giant looked around, sneered, and said, "Bring it on, I’m waiting."

After speaking, it took a step back and vanished into the Void.

In its place, another Wu Xiaode appeared.

—He reappeared on the street, bypassing the scattered Mecha parts and debris, and continued walking down the long street.

In just a few minutes.

A figure appeared at the end of the street ahead.

It was a humanoid object covered in a metallic sheen.

A robot.

It was slightly shorter than Wu Xiaode, with a body exactly like a human’s, the only difference being its body made entirely of some alloy.

"Hello, Taoist Wu Xiaode," the robot greeted politely.

"Hello—Didn’t expect to meet a robot this time—Don’t want to lose any more people, huh? Your backers are indeed cautious," Wu Xiaode said with a smile.

The robot examined him, then suddenly smiled and said, "Taoist Little Wu, what you said is true, which means you really know nothing."

"I only want Shen Feixue," Wu Xiaode said.

"Taoist Little Wu, based on our analysis of every action you take, it turns out you’re a person who loves peace, which is why I made a special trip to meet you— It’s been a long time since any human has had this privilege," the robot said.

It stepped forward.

The ground cracked open.

A dense array of mechanical arms emerged from underground, swirling around the robot.

The robot’s appearance suddenly gained a layer of realistic human skin.

Then came hair, facial features, eyes, ears, nose, mouth.

Everything was ready.

All the machinery retreated into the ground.

The ground closed up.

The robot stretched its delicate arms, took the red coat from a metal rack, and draped it over itself.

It stroked its long hair, its vivid eyes looking at Wu Xiaode and said:

"You see, I am actually Shen Feixue."

—It had transformed into the appearance of Shen Feixue!

"But I know you’re a robot," Wu Xiaode said.

The robot slowly posed in a charming manner, its voice shifting from electronic to Shen Feixue’s:

"If you fell in love with Shen Feixue, I can satisfy you, one, two, five, ten Shen Feixues for you, along with money, status, privileges, anything, as long as you stop searching for her."

Wu Xiaode held his breath.

As casually as the other had spoken, a chill rose in his heart.

What exactly was this robot? What was it thinking?

——What other burdens did the real Shen Feixue carry that made them so desperate to kill her?

"Judging by your expression, the 3,600 subtle changes in your facial muscles suggest you’re somewhat disappointed—I get it, you must prefer real, living people."

"Shen Feixue" licked her red lips, revealing a shoulder in a half shrug, giggling as she spoke:

"No problem, we have her cells, we can cultivate a batch of cloned Shen Feixues for you, train them to serve you anytime—we can also certify you as one of the three Great Elders of the worldwide Taoist community, fund your Taoist temple however much you want, how does that sound?"

Wu Xiaode stood in place, pondering.

On the other side of the bridge.

Atop a high-rise building, Wu Xiaode spoke gravely, "The situation has become tricky, Rester, I need you to summon a large number of adept search evil ghosts."

"Here!" King of Evil Ghosts Rester shouted.

Thud, thud, thud, thud, thud——

Wild beast-shaped evil ghosts emerged densely behind him.

Wu Xiaode raised a hand and pressed down.

Mists descended upon these evil ghosts.

"No one can see you now, go, keep moving forward along the road, you must find Shen Feixue!"

The evil ghosts immediately took the command.

They climbed down the skyscraper, quickly crossed the mighty river, scattered on the other side of the streets, and began to delve into various places, starting their search for Shen Feixue.

On the street.

That "Shen Feixue" cocked her head, staring at Wu Xiaode and asked, "Taoist priest, have you decided?"

"I have a doubt," Wu Xiaode controlled his evil ghost form and said.

"Please speak."

"Why must you prevent me from finding Shen Feixue?"

"Taoist priest, we’ve checked your Taoist temple; you might not be very familiar with modern technology—of course, we know there are gods in heaven, but they are bound by divine laws and can’t always assist you—"

"What I mean is, Shen Feixue represents a potentially dangerous technological trend; the technology she has developed could overthrow our civilization."

Wu Xiaode shrugged his shoulders.

No wonder the watch’s pointer indicated "danger."

"Some of her technologies are something we could learn from, so we have been hesitating."

"But now, everything has become uncontrollable."

"Anyway, you still have five minutes to think about it, I hope you can agree to our request."

"Five minutes?" Wu Xiaode asked.

"Yes, five minutes," the robot said.

Up on the skyscraper, Wu Xiaode glanced at his watch.

The pointer that indicated "danger" had now turned a dark red, transitioning towards black.

Shen Feixue was dying.

The opponents clearly didn’t know where Shen Feixue was either, otherwise, they wouldn’t be wasting time talking to him here.

How did they plan to kill her?

There was another matter.

They couldn’t stop him, weren’t they afraid of his retaliation?

Unless...

They could kill both him and Shen Feixue at the same time.

How could they achieve that?

Suddenly, a flash of spirit light crossed Wu Xiaode’s mind.

He suddenly remembered what Zhao Zhibing had said:

"We can only help you by dropping a nuclear bomb."

Yes.

——Massive weapons of destruction!

Wu Xiaode shuddered, and shouted, "Rester!"

"I’m here, master."

"Have some of the evil ghosts disguise themselves as Shen Feixue, appearing from the mist; let the others continue searching for Shen Feixue."

"That’s easy to handle."

Across the great river.

Some evil ghosts appeared in the form of Shen Feixue and began to dash about.

The robot’s eyes flashed as it spoke:

"Little Taoist Wu, I just mentioned giving you a few Shen Feixues, and you have already generated so many Shen Feixues."

"Learning from you," Wu Xiaode said.

"Then there’s nothing more to discuss, I’m sorry, but this matter ends here."

The robot slowly sank into the ground, disappearing from sight.

Atop the skyscraper, Rester’s female head suddenly turned in one direction, speaking rapidly:

"Something incredibly fast—breaking the sound barrier, is flying towards us."

While his devil head suddenly declared, "Found her! Next to People’s Square at the City God Temple, there’s a woman lying on the ground, she has fallen into a coma!"

"Let’s go!"

Wu Xiaode’s form moved, and he soared off the skyscraper.

A bronze hand materialized in mid-air.

He stepped on the bronze hand, speeding up further.

——His speed increased rapidly, like a cannonball, heading towards the direction of the City God Temple.

Fast!

Even faster!

Bang!!!

Wu Xiaode crashed into the ground in front of the City God Temple, rolled, and jumped up, immediately spotting the woman.

——Shen Feixue!

She had the unique aura of a human.

With Wu Xiaode’s current hearing ability, he could even hear the heartbeats of the baby inside her abdomen.

He rushed forward and helped Shen Feixue up.

He had barely touched Shen Feixue—

Suddenly, something fell from the void.

Wu Xiaode caught it instinctively, only to find it was a flat peach.

A flat peach?

It seemed like the last time as well, he had received a century-old flat peach.

In the void, the faint voice of the Queen Mother of the West quietly rose:

"Comply!"

Comply?

If it really was a nuclear bomb, or even a mass destruction weapon beyond a hydrogen bomb, a single peach couldn’t hold up!

While Wu Xiaode was thinking, suddenly feeling something, he abruptly looked up.

A deafening roar filled the skies.

A shadow rushed from the distant sky, arriving in an instant, stopping above the great river.

The whole world fell silent.

The shadow turned into a blindingly intense light, illuminating the entire city.
