Chapter 1118: Chapter 1118: The Collapse of the City

After the female player left, Xu Huo set a fire in Xiaohe City. After confirming that the flames and thick smoke had risen, he returned to the underground parking lot and took out the "Life Core," placing his hand on the filter machine.

The "Life Core" could destroy a third of the metal volume in a city, which, for a city with buildings of various heights and spacious avenues, was enough to drain all the metal in the city.

In the past, Xu Huo had used the "Life Core" on a small scale. The collapse of a city could affect tens or hundreds of thousands of people, but Xiaohe City clearly had no such concerns, as death was the best outcome for everyone here.

The metal filter did not disintegrate immediately under the "Life Core." As a medium, it was now connected to the city’s massive metal network through underground water pipes, from underground pipelines to cables, to the metal framework in buildings and wiring in houses... A vast web rapidly grew from underground, gradually spreading to the city’s limits, and then began to retract from the edges with a "BOOM!"

Before they had the chance to turn around and check on the burning office building, the metal exterior walls of the city collapsed into a heap of dust, witnessed by a few players guarding the gates. The black ash, like sandstorm gusts, blew from the edge of the city towards the center. The particles of powder, as if carrying a strange weight, caused the long-neglected houses to collapse wherever they covered. From time to time, the buildings and roads caved in. If there were taller buildings nearby, the specially reinforced metals on the facades also quickly turned to dust and joined in, covering most of the city in a blink of an eye.

Witnessing the collapse of the entire city, the few players hurrying back slowly reduce their pace. However, the speed of the metal disintegration was too fast, and just a moment of hesitation was enough for the commercial building they were heading to also to collapse—this city, before their very eyes, had turned into ruins!

Shock and urgency gradually turned to confusion in the face of such an unstoppable disaster, and the few of them looked at each other in disbelief:

Without Xiaohe City, where would they go to settle down?

Of course, the most worried were not them, but the players inside the commercial building of Xiaohe City. Most of them, under Xu Huo’s mental interference, had failed to leave in time when the building collapsed, resulting in the deaths of two and the injuries of more than a dozen. Before they could react to what had happened, their view changed dramatically.

"Xiaohe City...collapsed?" Gong Jiaji and others, looking at the barren expanse in the distance, quickly realized what they would face next.

Such a disturbance would surely attract aliens, and Zheng Da and his group had failed to control the Variant Cub. The unrestrained aliens would soon gather in swarms!

"What exactly happened?" someone asked.

No one answered, but in the next second, Xu Huo flew out of the ruins, flung out by Mr. Kang.

After both emerged, upon seeing the scene before them, Mr. Kang looked at Xu Huo with a truly angry and sinister expression, "Did you do this?!"

Xu Huo had accidentally shaved off a piece of skin on his left shoulder, which was bleeding profusely. Only after injecting a Self-Healing Potion did he say, "Can your prop still be used?"

"Killing you would be as easy as flipping my hand!" Mr. Kang’s figure seemed to connect across two piles of ruins. Noticing that Xu Huo had again resorted to a Defense Prop, he snickered, "Let’s see how long your props will last!"

With his five fingers raised, he tried to pierce the Spatial Barrier again with his old trick. Unfortunately, this time Xu Huo didn’t let him have his way and quickly switched positions using Spatial Evolution, putting distance between them.

After two loud "bangs," Xu Huo saw Guan Shu, Lin Qiao, and two other Rank-B players approach and shouted, "We can’t stay here long, find a way to leave!"

Without looking back, he swiftly left the commercial building after finishing his words.

With their place of survival destroyed, Mr. Kang would not let him go easily. Besides him, more than a dozen other players also followed suit, using various methods to intercept him.

Although the metal structure of the city buildings had been powderized, some buildings could still stand without external force. Xu Huo leveraged his Psychic Power and Spatial Evolution to shuttle quickly between buildings, as if entering uninhabited territory. The pursuing players, limited by their perspective, often fell a step behind, which gave Xu Huo the opportunity to break free.

While narrowly dodging Mr. Kang’s attacks, he said, "After exiting the commercial building, the Spatial Artifact seems to be working normally again. Your prop’s restriction ability is weakening."

Even if Mr. Kang was dull, he could see that Xu Huo had undergone a Super Evolution in space. Therefore, he became more aggressive and desperate, chasing him from the near-center of the city to the edge before slowing down.

Xu Huo almost died at his hand several times, having already used "Kitty Grants You Three Lives" and "Lifelike Wax Figure." The "Moving Metal" completely broken, "Three Hundred Sixty Defenses" exhausted, not to mention various close-combat props, even the Rank-B props he had just acquired were all used up. Moreover, "Death of the Holder" was utilized more than once, but as before, it didn’t have much effect, until at the edge of Xiaohe City, he successfully shot Mr. Kang in the thigh!

Seeing this, he let out a slight sigh of relief and said to Mr. Kang, who had slowed down, "I really thought your props could be used an unlimited number of times."

Mr. Kang looked back and saw the overwhelming Different Species Group rushing towards them from the edge of his vision, and then he turned back to Xu Huo, "It will take at least ten minutes for the Mutant Beast Horde to get here, ten minutes is enough."

"Not necessarily," Xu Huo pointed at the watch on his wrist, "It’s been less than five minutes since you left the building, and from initially being unable to restrict other Spatial Artifacts to now even slowing down reactions to the props nearby, in less than five minutes, your prop will no longer be able to provide you with speed."

Mr. Kang’s face darkened, "I also have Spatial Evolution, don’t think an extra evolution makes any difference!"

"Let’s not stray to Spirit Evolution," Xu Huo replied. "If you truly had a Super Evolution in space, you wouldn’t have been unable to find me in the commercial building."

"I can sense within a two-hundred-meter radius, can’t you even reach this range?"

Mr. Kang’s chest heaved rapidly for a moment but soon calmed down. He looked contemptuously at Xu Huo, "So what, even if it’s just bleeding, I can slowly bleed you to death!"

"Fine," Xu Huo said with a smile, "Let’s see who the prey falls to... Death of the Holder!"

The previous times he used "Death of the Holder," he deliberately shouted out the name, so when he spoke, Mr. Kang reflexively paused to defend. However, the anticipated attack didn’t appear, and when he looked up, he discovered that Xu Huo, who had just been there, was now gone!

"Very well!" Mr. Kang clenched his teeth in anger.
