Chapter 622: Chapter 500 United Efforts (First Update)

When the explosion ended, the War Destroyer’s massive frame emerged from the flames, its Energy Barrier completely shattered, charred all over.

“Danger warning, strong purging!”

“Switch to combat stance.”

…

One after another, these prompts displayed in the War Destroyer’s electronic eyes.

The next second, parts of the War Destroyer’s huge mechanical body began to transform, with its track-style lower half splitting open and mechanical legs extending out as it abruptly stood up. Its back cracked open to reveal jet propulsion devices, and swiftly, the War Destroyer switched to close combat mode.

The transformation was a world apart, and a terrifying oppressive force instantaneously filled the air.

This goes to show, none that bear the mark of a Type IV are slackers.

Seeing this sudden change, Su Mo immediately controlled his Hunting Mane Mecha to rush from the side, attracting its attention.

No sooner had he approached when the upper body of the War Destroyer spun around like a set of building blocks, sweeping its Shattering Hammer across with an explosion of speed and greatly enhanced power.

Su Mo yanked harshly at the control stick, and the Hunting Mane Mecha executed a limit dodge, yet still, he wasn’t entirely able to avoid the blow, and his armor was grazed.

Crack

The grazed armor caved in completely, making it clear that if the mecha had been hit directly, it would have been reduced to scrap.

After an unsuccessful strike, the War Destroyer prepared to swing the Plasma Light Sword for another attack,

but at that moment, Qian Chengxue and her team charged from behind, with four or five mechas leaping onto its massive body. Their sharp claws firmly grasped the protruding parts of the War Destroyer as their other hands swung beam blades in a frenzy of slashes.

Sparks flew in every direction.

The situation was very much like a pack of hyenas hunting a lion, igniting a blood-boiling excitement in those who watched.

Too preoccupied to attack Su Mo any further, the War Destroyer angrily twisted its body, trying to shake off the ants that had climbed onto it.

Right then, Su Mo controlled the Hunting Mane to leap forward, directly pouncing onto the War Destroyer’s face and stabbing the electronic eye with his sword.

Boom~

Intense sparks immediately erupted.

“Well done!”

In that instant, Lin Ming also controlled his mecha to charge in. They pounced like eager wolves, clinging onto the War Destroyer’s mechanical arms to prevent it from lashing out.

In an instant, the massive War Destroyer was covered in Hunting Manes clinging to it from all sides.

No matter how much it struggled, it couldn’t shake them off.

And with Su Mo and the others continuously slashing with their blades, even the War Destroyer couldn’t withstand such a beating with its tough hide.

At that moment, the War Destroyer’s remaining electronic eye suddenly turned black and started to flash repeatedly.

Jialan saw this and his expression drastically changed as he shouted, “Stop it quickly, it’s initiating its self-destruct protocol, there’s a nuclear bomb embedded inside!”

Hearing Jialan’s words, Su Mo and the others felt as if they were dropped into an ice cave, breaking out in cold sweat. They were fighting in an abandoned underground sewage pool, and if the self-destruction succeeded here, none of them would survive.

Just then, Su Mo’s eyes caught sight of a red marker on the side of the War Destroyer’s neck.

Not giving it another thought, Su Mo pushed the power lever all the way, activating the Hunting Mane Mecha’s strongest thrust, and thrust the beam blade through.

“Die!”

Crack!

The beam blade successfully pierced through the thin layer of armor at the neck, penetrating the internal circuitry.

The next second, the light in the War Destroyer’s eyes went out, and it ceased to move.

“Beautiful!”

“That’s great.”

“Incredible, Su Mo’s strike was amazing.”

Seeing this, Lin Ming and the others all let out a sigh of relief, shouting excitedly. The expressions on everyone’s faces were those of people who had narrowly escaped death, clearly, they were all scared out of their wits!

…

A moment later, all the attacking enemies at the scene had been cleared.

One by one, the citizens of the Hongji Empire mourned as they gathered the bodies of their deceased relatives and companions.

Children with innocent faces clutched the hands of their dead loved ones, crying and calling incessantly.

The atmosphere on-site was heavy with sorrow.

From a distance, Su Mo glanced at the scene, feeling genuinely distressed, and then directed his mecha to look away.

Even though these people were strangers to him, and he had grown accustomed to death these days, he was still deeply moved.

With a faint sigh, his gaze inadvertently fell upon a damaged IV generation War Destroyer.

He observed it subconsciously, honestly admitting to himself that this was the first time he had seen such a weapon; it met the standards of a fourth-generation in terms of destructive power and other aspects. However, Su Mo always felt that it wasn’t as strong as the Pure Mechanical Mecha·Shadow of Light, with a considerable gap between the two.

If they had faced the Shadow of Light today, even with perfect coordination, they would have suffered casualties.

While Su Mo was engrossed in his observations, a series of footsteps came. Jialan and Karn, among others, approached.

Su Mo opened the cockpit and jumped out.

“Thank you! For your rescue.”

Jialan sincerely bowed to Su Mo.

Su Mo quickly waved his hand, then explained with an apologetic tone, “Don’t mention it, it’s what we should do. Besides, the fact that you were attacked is partly our fault, so really, we should be the ones apologizing.”

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Jialan and the elders all looked somewhat uncomfortable.

They had more or less guessed that the attack on their settlement had something to do with the outsiders.

But after all, the outsiders had turned back to rescue them.

At this moment, Karn sighed and said, “Mr. Su Mo, let’s not talk about that now. Whose fault it is doesn’t matter anymore. Even if it weren’t for you, it was only a matter of time before we were discovered; we’d just be delaying the inevitable.”

“The Clan Leader is right.”

After hearing this, many elders present fell into contemplation, their expressions becoming more relaxed, and they somewhat came to terms with the situation.

Meanwhile, Lin Ming and the others, piloting their mechas, gathered around.

Qian Chengxue spoke calmly.

“This place is no longer safe, we need to leave quickly.”

“But with so many people, where can we flee? No matter where we go, we’ll be found,” Victor remarked, somewhat troubled.

Helplessly, Su Mo inquired of Karn, “What are your plans going forward?”

Karn’s aged face fell into thought.

Just then, the ground shook violently, and everyone struggled to keep their footing.

The sudden disturbance startled everyone, and immediately after, an ear-piercing alarm rang out through the entire underground city.

“What’s happening?”

Lin Ming was tense and on high alert.

The citizens of the Hongji Empire also exhibited restlessness and panic.

“Don’t panic!”

Karn shouted firmly and calmly.

The shaking quickly subsided, but the ear-piercing alarm did not cease.

“Grandfather, what’s going on?”

Jialan asked, equally perplexed.
