Legend of the Cyber Heroes
Chapter 165 - 165 85 The Mysterious Six Dragons Sect

165: Chapter 85: The Mysterious Six Dragons Sect 165: Chapter 85: The Mysterious Six Dragons Sect After feeling a slight vibration in the wall, the Six Dragons Envoy froze in place.

The prosthetic limb he had been ready to thrust forward to kill the Scientific Knight apprentice three meters away also stopped in its tracks.

—What’s going on?

He thought to himself.

Although he knew that after him, another person had snuck into this Scientific Knight’s residence, but…

—Did this guy really make his move this quickly?

The Six Dragons Envoy felt that his entire plan had been disrupted.

Unless the other party was launching a suicide attack, they would absolutely not take action before being “fully prepared.”

This was the Scientific Knight Order, the most well-defended place in the entirety of Pine Eagle City.

Without a complete plan and thorough preparations, even a Famed Hero might find themselves trapped here.

In the era of the Martial Ancestor, the entire world was controlled by a powerful and domineering evil organization, and very few were the first to see through the truth and stand up to resist.

Since all the channels for voicing objection were controlled by the enemy, they could not convey effective information, and the combat power of each Hero was precious.

This passive “Elite Soldier Tactics” approach has continued into the current state of Jianghu.

For Heroes, to engage in resource exchanges with the government on a “one-to-one” or even “one-to-five” basis is a huge loss—because the resources owned by the government are a thousand to ten thousand times greater.

In terms of Elite Soldier Tactics, “a small victory is a defeat,” this is the reasoning.

Heroes absolutely do not advocate “suicide attacks.” This tradition was established during the time of the Martial Ancestor.

“It shouldn’t be.

I was planning to abandon this side to draw the attention of the building’s guards.

How could he have launched an attack before me?”

“Could it be that they’ve been surrounded already and had to detonate early?

But that’s not right either.

If that were the case, the alarms would have sounded long ago…”

Amid a series of alarms urging shelter, the Scientific Knight apprentice who had no idea he had just escaped death quickly left.

Meanwhile, the Six Dragons Envoy retracted his Heavenly Vision and Earthly Hearing from the door and curled up in the storeroom.

His prosthetic body was originally rather tall but slim in appearance.

Now, curled up like this, he seemed compressed into a small object.

It didn’t take long for him to find the culprit of the warning.

In the central area of the 500th floor of the Meiyimei Building, near the machine room, the area had already been enveloped in billowing smoke and dust.

Some kind of powerful explosive had destroyed the entire region.

The damage was immeasurable for the moment.

Due to the destruction of the main server room where the main server was located, the building’s system quickly switched to a backup server to take over the load of the alarm system.

Within a few minutes, the building’s defense forces would not yet be fully operational.

But now, the situation was clear.

Someone had used a high-explosive to destroy the building’s main server.

—Damn it…

Amid a chaos of footsteps, he rapidly analyzed the situation.

“No hiding now.

I was already close to the Mona Knight Order’s research area, just waiting for the defense to increase would only mean a matter of time before I’m discovered…”

“And now, the elevators will surely be under strict control.

They will deploy the defense forces to the vicinity of the elevator shafts immediately.

Considering the current distance, there’s no way to reach there while maintaining stealth.

And into the stairwell, a great number of Knight apprentices and Martial Artists defending this residence will pour in.

My prosthetic body doesn’t fit in with those Knight apprentices.”

“So, I cannot leave this area.”

In this maintenance room for automated robots, the Six Dragons Envoy felt a surge of frustration.

He hadn’t expected that one wrong move would put him in such a difficult situation.

Sensing that the system’s base-level self-check programs were starting one after another and many of the building’s functional modules were being gradually shut down, the Six Dragons Envoy sensed trouble.

A few seconds later, more orderly footsteps approached from outside the door.

“Damn it!”

The Six Dragons Envoy had no choice but to let out a howl and burst through the door, charging into the group of soldiers.

………………………………

Xiang Shan moved backward, blending perfectly among the multitude of apprentices surging into the stairwell.

Although the specifications of his prosthetic body were a bit off, the way he dressed and the face-shaped metal plate stuck to the “face” (actually the back of his head) provided an excellent disguise.

Soon, the alarm sounded again.

“Warning, warning, a Thug has been detected on the 738th floor.

Repeat, a Thug has been detected on the 738th floor.”

“The thug is using a lightweight prosthetic body with significant cutting capability, likely possessing a high-power high-frequency wave blade, with high performance in the prosthetic.

The thug’s own martial arts skills have reached a high level of mastery.

The system shows signs of hacking, suspected to be someone with powerful inner strength.”

“Please instruct the Scientific Knight apprentices in the nearby floors to immediately halt their movement.”

“But there are still ten more floors to go…” Xiang Shan silently thought, “No idea who it might be.

Hope it doesn’t bring trouble to any good guys.”

This was precisely why he wasn’t panicking at all.

Whether the other infiltrator was friend or foe, his bomb only had a few dozen seconds left.

Unless the other person launched an attack within these few dozen seconds, it would be Xiang Shan’s bomb that would detonate first, drawing the defensive forces’ attention and forcing the entire building’s security to spring into action.

At that point, that “friend” would most likely get involuntarily involved.

He would either be forced to fight hastily against the Protector’s side to attract attention for Xiang Shan, or retreat directly.

Either scenario held no loss for Xiang Shan.

Moreover, and more importantly, that bomb was purely mechanical.

Unless you could find a way to magnetize most of its parts in a short time and the electrons that passed through instantaneously didn’t trigger the explosive part, nothing could stop the explosion, not even Xiang Shan himself.

If that “friend” truly was a hero, then all Xiang Shan could do was pray he lasted a bit longer; after achieving his own goal, he would then cause a commotion to share some of the pressure.

But for now, he’d let that “friend” draw some fire for him.

Xiang Shan, with his “head down” (actually looking up), followed a group of Scientific Knight apprentices rushing into the 729th floor—just two floors shy of his first target, Vice Captain Bengel’s office.

At that moment, the mysterious master reappeared and said, “Alright, the surveillance in this area has been diverted.

Also, other signals received by this router will be sent to a fake address.

The alarms from those apprentices around you won’t be transmitted.

You have three minutes to subdue these people.

Please keep the noise below thirty-five decibels throughout.”

As the line was typed, Xiang Shan’s hands moved.

He quickly reached out and struck the back of the neck of the two Scientific Knight apprentices closest to him with force, inducing severe concussions that disrupted their thought processes, then crouched his body and dived down.

One of the Scientific Knight apprentices reacted quickly, turning back only to see two of his companions stumble forward without a trace of the enemy.

Immediately after, he felt a shock at the back of his head and also lost consciousness.

Xiang Shan’s toes tapped on the back of that Scientific Knight apprentice’s head while his hands simultaneously reached out to grab the prosthetic legs of the remaining two apprentices.

With a quick jerk, both lost their balance.

Before the two Scientific Knight apprentices hit the ground, Xiang Shan had already circled beneath them, reaching up to twist and break their necks.

Xiang Shan let out a slight breath of relief.

Thankfully, only Scientific Knight apprentices were with him in the escape.

If there were any Official Knights with their brains located in their chest cavities, this process wouldn’t have been so effortless.

The back of the neck still was a relatively weaker area.

Using penetrating power to strike there could easily affect the nervous system and then briefly disrupt consciousness.

Since brains restart much slower than electronic systems in most cases, Xiang Shan took this opportunity to systematically hack into these people’s prosthetics and directly removed parts of the hardware protocols.

Those Scientific Knight apprentices were seriously injured but not dead.

Since the situation wasn’t urgent, Xiang Shan didn’t think about finishing them off.

Compared to Official Knights, these apprentices were also the exploited.

Moreover, not all of them were Lords; most had joined through examinations and weren’t combatants by nature.

Xiang Shan didn’t have the time to scrutinize whether they had already committed misdeeds, so he didn’t harbor any immediate lethal intentions.

He simply temporarily disabled their prosthetic bodies.

“Not bad with your hands,” the person praised.

“I’ve already replaced parts of the surveillance footage.

Turn right out the door, and hurry out of here.

In another two minutes and fifty seconds, a team will come from the left to check.”

Xiang Shan nodded his head and proceeded as told.

He casually asked, “What’s the story with the gentleman on the 720-something floor?”

“I don’t know,” replied the master of internal strength.

“I’ve compared him against all known heroes in the database who might be in the vicinity, and none fit his profile.

The specification of his prosthetic is also quite strange.

Furthermore, I must specifically point out that this person has some uncommon structures on him.

I suspect that he may be from the Demon Sect.”

“The Demon Sect?”

“An organization that calls itself the Six Dragons Sect, shrouded in mystery, seems to have existed for a long time, but only started showing active signs in the last few decades,” said the master.

“Currently, there is very little information on them; everything is ‘unknown.'”

—The Six Dragons Sect… Demon Sect…

Maintaining his footwork, Xiang Shan began to contemplate.

It wouldn’t be too odd if the Six Dragons Council appeared in this vicinity.

Z organization had items gifted from them, indicating their prior activity in the area.

It’s just that he hadn’t expected someone from the Six Dragons Sect to also take action today.

And he didn’t know what their target was.

As Xiang Shan pondered, he also followed the guidance of the mysterious master.

He quickly turned several corners, brushing past patrolling soldiers.

After several twists and turns, he arrived at a small wooden staircase and ascended.

Above was Bengel’s office.
