Legend of the Cyber Heroes
Chapter 302 - 302 82 Conflict

302: Chapter 82: Conflict 302: Chapter 82: Conflict Xiang Shan felt that perhaps the Green Forest could save someone this time.

Of course, only at this particular time, in this particular situation.

When the government officials discovered that the Green Forest was protecting a Natural Person, Xiang Shan noticed it too.

There might be some reason—for example, this girl could bring benefits to the organization to which the Green Forest belonged, but Xiang Shan believed that the Green Forest itself wanted to protect this girl.

Xiang Shan interpreted from its actions that the Green Forest sincerely intended to use its life to protect this human.

Its every move and style seemed to articulate this resolve through the language of the body.

Of course, if it were merely so, that still wouldn’t be enough.

At another time, even if he saw that the Green Forest was sacrificing its life to protect someone, Xiang Shan would still think they should be killed if it was deserved.

Good and evil are not a pair that balance each other in all situations.

This was just the “premise.”

Most importantly, Xiang Shan had to kill the disciple of King Aqini.

King Aqini “each and every time” stood on the side of power.

His hands were stained with countless blood debts, and in these past two hundred years, he had killed who knows how many heroes and suppressed numerous rebellions.

His disciple was an accomplice and the kind that alone could cause great damage to the entire Jianghu.

According to Xiang Shan’s understanding of that fellow Hartman, as well as the form of the prosthetic body in front of him, it was not a body meant for the front line.

King Aqini usually had himself plugged into a warship.

This was an excellent opportunity.

At this point in time, “breaking King Aqini’s finger” was more important than “killing a Green Forest militia.” For this, Xiang Shan could even tolerate letting that Green Forest live a little longer.

During the recent battle, Xiang Shan noticed another point.

Comparing the strength around him with that around the Green Forest, he arrived at a conclusion.

Those government forces were originally targeting the Green Forest.

While they were fighting with Yuan Wenren, those officials might have already been there, and set up an assassination array targeting the Green Forest.

Because he had exhibited his Inner Strength in front of King Aqini’s disciple, they had just arranged this ambush.

Regardless of his own situation, King Aqini’s men were definitely supposed to kill that Green Forest.

The Green Forest, for some reason, had attracted the pursuit of King Aqini’s forces.

And what’s more curious is, even with all this commotion, the Protectors of Domingo City hadn’t yet mobilized.

It’s known that the Protectors’ biggest advantage over heroes is their numbers, and King Aqini is also a master of battle formation martial arts.

This Green Forest wasn’t surrounded by local forces—imagine that.

Killing a few unprotected people at most would have just heightened the vigilance of those self-proclaimed Protector government officials.

Either they communicated to Domingo City with a “friendly forces operating, do not interfere” signal, or King Aqini used his authority to deceive the Protectors’ surveillance network.

But either way, it meant “this is a covert mission that ordinary Protectors must not be aware of.”

So in other words, these guys could only rely on their own strength to pursue this Green Forest.

They would definitely go after this Green Forest, at the very least dispatching several Life-Chasing Cavalry to cling to him.

King Aqini’s style was such that, even if his own forces were reduced, or even annihilated as an organized unit, they would prioritize completing the task assigned by their superiors.

In other words, no matter what, this Green Forest could take three to five Life-Chasing Cavalry with him.

As long as he was still alive, Xiang Shan’s pressure would be much reduced.

And if there was a chance, Xiang Shan could also follow the tracks of the Life-Chasing Cavalry to pursue this Green Forest.

He couldn’t lose by any calculation.

That’s why he had just thrown that white flame flame-tip spear.

Borshu also glanced back for a moment.

Even though he didn’t know the information about King Aqini like Xiang Shan did, Borshu still saw the situation clearly.

This top expert, who had been shooting at him just a few minutes before, suddenly became an unexpected strong ally.

—So that’s it, as long as I’m alive, his pressure will be lessened…

Borshu had long forgotten how to feel “gratitude.” He crossed his hands and lightly leapt up, slamming into the Ranger ahead.

This move was rare in martial studies, and behind Borshu was a Natural Person female, not even a standard Vector Injector could be used.

The Ranger immediately covered both hands over this move, preparing to disrupt the opponent’s balance by conventional means.

But in that instant, Borshu’s tail suddenly whipped around, tossing a Ranger trying to encircle him from behind back through the air.

Borshu borrowed the momentum to disrupt the stance of the cold-blooded Ranger in front.

Positioned mid-air, he caught the Ranger’s head between his calves and, following through with a downward thrust, he landed on his feet, and the Ranger’s neck was snapped.

Borshu used his boiling hot tail to wrap around the girl, then accelerated again.

He knew that, even if thinking of it as a “trade,” he should strive to stay alive at this time.

Struggling longer was, in essence, repaying the hero’s olive branch.

Borshu had a lightweight prosthetic body designed for speed, extraordinarily potent in mobile combat.

Five Life-Chasing Cavalry, who didn’t carry heavy weapons and were using high-speed new prosthetics, had no choice but to pursue him.

“Alright, then the rest is mine,” Xiang Shan glanced around.

Now, Yuki and Yuan Wenren had already retreated to a distance.

Of course, there would still be two or three Life-Chasing Cavalry keeping an eye on them, but Yuan Wenren was competent enough not to worry temporarily.

And the Green Forest’s breakout had once again extended the battle line.

The density of these Rangers around was scary but still within an acceptable range.

He chuckled and declared loudly, “Meeting me is your bad luck.”

“Hmph, the unlucky one is you, Hero,” a cold-blooded rider said, “You are clearly the one cornered now!”

Xiang Shan didn’t respond, but suddenly, music emanated from his synthesizer.

It must have been the intro to a song.

—Could it be…

He hadn’t been going all out just now?

The attention of many riders was momentarily scattered.

And in that instant, Xiang Shan charged forward.

“Relying on myself…”

Xiang Shan’s hand landed on a rider’s shoulder.

“Tough guy…”

The next instant, Xiang Shan released energy, throwing the rider away.

The two gunners on the right had to temporarily raise their guns to avoid hitting their ally.

By then, Xiang Shan had already appeared like a phantom in front of a rider on the left.

“All out with a fool’s hope…”

His left foot stomped the ground, and his right toe, sharp as a spear tip, plunged into the right eye of the Life-Chasing Cavalry.

The Life-Chasing Cavalry, tasked with tracking duties, had optical devices in their prosthetic eyes that were stronger than those of ordinary people.

The rider screamed in retreat, and two more took his place.

“Sweat and blood spilled, hearts laid bare, in pursuit of great ideals…”

One line of the song sent three men flying.

Xiang Shan had already leapt another step forward.

“Life gambled for tales of heroes!

Struggles reveal the spirit, striding and glancing like an awakened lion!”

With each line the Hero sang, several men were sent flying.

However, limited by the performance of his prosthetic body, the Hero couldn’t inflict fatal wounds instantly, only a few had their necks broken.

These riders simply rolled on the ground twice, quickly regaining their composure and charging again.

But this robust singing and punching only made their strategy increasingly cautious.

The riders had undergone brutal training, but they too could feel terror.

Especially since, for the past century, countless Heroes proclaimed their justice loudly, assassinating while in the midst of song—this factual record uncontrollably bred fear in them.

“Charge forward, all gains and losses known only to the heart…”

By that second, Xiang Shan had already become like a storm, breaking through the riders.

“No good!” Only now did some riders realize the true aim of the Hero, “He’s trying to assassinate the officer!”

If any person, abandoning their external strength for internal strength and military martial techniques, were to be slain on the battlefield, all those from the same team majoring in external martial arts would face harsh punishment!

…………………………………

GA-R03 stepped back into a mountain hollow, listening to the noises from that direction, and the two cold-blooded riders guarding him tensed up.

GA-R03 connected his mind to the network, jumped several times, and began gathering information.

“A Hero who can withstand my inner strength cannot be a nobody.

All heroes promote their ideals through assassinations, he must have left behind records.”

The first suspect that needed consideration was a hero who had shown himself during the earlier breakout battle by Tao Enhai.

Of course, Tao Enhai himself must be ruled out.

Because of the King of Godspeed’s methods, Tao Enhai was infected by the Evolu cells.

Without the conditions for surgery from near Jupiter to Earth, and with these days of delay, the progress of the Evolu cell disease would automatically further.

Now even if Tao Enhai isn’t dead yet, he would lose most of his brain tissue, and his internal strength would certainly be limited.

Next, exclude the Heroic Hero Bai Man from the Northern Lands who had acquired Tao Enhai’s legacy, having surpassed a major threshold.

His internal strength also likely hadn’t reached the Mechanical Realm, probably just the Compilation Realm or Assembly Realm.

This level would easily be defeated by GA-R03.

So…

“The Nameless Swordsman who appeared near Pine Eagle City a few months ago and killed the Vice Captain Bengel of the Mona Knight Order…

Level of internal and external martial arts…

Rated as unfathomable?

‘Possibly at the Mechanical Realm’?”

Local Protectors, even if they practice internal martial arts, rarely reach the Mechanical Realm.

And the powers of the Mathematical Realm could generally hold high positions in the Scientific Knight Order.

It’s normal they can’t fathom the depth of this Hero.

GA-R03 quickly scanned the available data, then shared the key points.

This included known information such as paper airplanes, Martial Ancestor Fist, Sonicon Blade, and more.

Meanwhile, through a dedicated data link, GA-R03 reported to a squad leader far away.

[I have located the target Green Forest, and am executing the extermination program.

But in the process, I have encountered another Hero, who hasn’t surpassed a major threshold, but his internal strength likely already reached a high level in the Mechanical Realm.]

[Requesting unrestricted use of Internal Martial Arts.]
