Chapter 570: Chapter 124 Leaving

```

"How is this possible..."

Encircled by his subordinates in a temporary command center, Bai Changkong, who had "escaped death," looked at the report in his hands, somewhat in disbelief.

According to the contents of the report, a Martial Artist advanced "at an unimaginable speed" all the way down, efficiently tearing through their defensive lines.

After comparing the frontline Martial Artist’s report with the database, the system told White Hermit a surprising conclusion.

——The intruder’s Martial Arts are suspected to be "Mystic Tortoise True Gang" or "Stardust Rotation Technique." All sorts of traces left at the scene pointed to these two older forms of Gang Qi Martial Studies.

But as far as Bai Changkong knew, within the entire city, only Zhili Jiliu of the Six Dragons Sect was studying this form of Martial Arts.

White Hermit had no suspicions of Guardian Zhi’s betrayal.

However, the invader — tentatively codenamed "The Nameless One" — didn’t have a record of using the Mystic Tortoise True Gang.

Since the assassination case at Meiyimei Building three years ago, in all incidents suspected to involve this "Nameless," there were no relevant records.

——Had Guardian Zhi been defeated? Were his Martial Arts stolen?

White Hermit stood dumbfounded in front of this conclusion for a few seconds. After coming to his senses, he recognized what this emotion was.

Fear.

He felt fear because of this "Nameless" Hero.

The two protectors sent by the Iron Heart Dharma King were no ordinary individuals, yet one was annihilated upon contact, and the other, after being defeated, even had his proudest Martial Arts taken from him.

That guy could even use them on the spot. Various signs indicated that his Rank was not low.

Hearing the non-Six Dragons Sect officers continuously discuss "whether that squire who used the Mystic Tortoise True Gang had defected" [High-ranking experts of the Six Dragons Sect usually walked the earth under titles such as "vassals" or "squires"], White Hermit only felt like laughing.

——These people might never know what kind of terrifying enemy they were up against...

"Surrendering one’s body to Martial arts," "entrusting one’s moves to algorithms," although these sound simple, if everyone could do it, there would be no difference in levels among Martial Artists.

Machines don’t understand what it means to "win" or "lose." They initially lack such "purpose." Only humans can endow machines with such "purpose." And Martial Artists must control Martial arts with their own consciousness, constantly adjust strategies, and make choices.

It’s not as if by downloading the algorithms, Martial Artists could master the Martial Arts perfectly.

This must go through training and actual combat.

But that Martial Artist, after taking Guardian Zhi’s Mystic Tortoise True Gang, naturally executed it.

What a terrifying Martial Arts ability.

Contemplating, White Hermit made his decision.

The groups affiliated with the Six Dragons Sect had to retreat from that Martial Artist as quickly as possible.

..............................

On the fiftieth floor, a squad halted mid-stairwell.

Above them, at an angle, a silver-grey mist churned incessantly. Sounds of combat and explosions came from within, and occasionally, the faint signal of a Prosthetic Body’s distress call was transmitted out.

The soldier recognized this as Gang Qi Martial Studies and knew how dangerous the concentrated yet unreleased attack was. He stopped his subordinates who wanted to provide support and instead retreated down several steps, then everyone’s guns were aimed straight above.

The moment the sounds of combat inside began to thin, or there were signs of the Metal Aerosol moving, they would open fire without regard for friendly forces.

```

Such a dense barrage of bullets could somewhat threaten an expert.

But at that moment, within the mist, two points flickered with an eerie non-visible light.

—No... that was...

—the edge of the metal aerosol... a prosthetic eye...

The officer wanted to pull the trigger. But by then, his hand no longer obeyed his command.

Then, the fog quickly thinned and faded away.

On the ground, there were still numerous soldiers with overheated prosthetic bodies, unable to move. The battle seemed to have ended long before. Only one huge black silhouette still stood there. The bizarre sounds of combat came from it.

What those soldiers heard was nothing more than a simple recorded playback.

Xiang Shan then calmly descended the stairs and removed the heads of those Protector armors.

Xiang Shan realized that things seemed simpler than he had anticipated.

"Nanda Dragon King" and "Precious Titled Dragon King" were sufficient to subdue most adversaries in one move. He could even continuously break through the enemy’s lines by simply employing Snake Form.

—Tsk tsk, actually, I would quite like to experience "Dragon Style" myself.

Such a thought flashed through Xiang Shan’s mind, and he replenished his supply of Iron Flower Bombs again.

He also took out the soldiers’ grenades.

The grenades of this group of soldiers seemed to be of a different model from the previous groups. The Protectors, indeed, had the resources to equip various specifications of gear simultaneously, to increase the trial cost for Heroes. These grenades turned out to be sensor-activated.

With a slight exertion of his inner strength, Xiang Shan decoded one of the grenades in his hand. He patiently brushed his palm over the ammunition boxes of a dozen soldiers, setting the time for detonation.

Among the desperate struggles of numerous soldiers, Xiang Shan walked down unhurriedly.

As he descended several more floors, a wave of blast swept through the entire stairwell.

Soon, Xiang Shan made it to the bottom.

Beneath that was the huge fossil excavation area.

Below, intense gunfire erupted. The Protectors and an armed force of the Six Dragons Sect fought fiercely there.

Xiang Shan observed for a moment and noticed that they were even using heavy firepower. However, both sides were restrained enough to intentionally avoid the fossil excavation area during the crossfire.

The Six Dragons Sect had the upper hand for now, but Protector reinforcements kept arriving. The depletion of the Six Dragons Sect’s ammunition was apparent, and their defeat was just a matter of time.

Xiang Shan watched for a while, felt he no longer needed to do anything, and then quietly left.

After exiting the building, Xiang Shan put on his Camouflage Net again, carefully avoiding the blockade by the Protector forces.

For some reason, there were firefights everywhere between the Six Dragons Sect and the Protector forces. Xiang Shan found it strange. Logically, the Six Dragons Sect’s aim should have been to "remain concealed". They should have quietly retreated from the area, but instead, they were inexplicably entangled in fierce combat with the Protectors... Would this not further provoke the Protector side?

—Too strange. Does this secret organization have a lot of brain-dead members?

Xiang Shan, like a ghost, crossed the battlefield frontline. Following the prearranged route, he arrived at the meeting point with the Solo Kill King and Mr. Cain.

Mr. Cain was covered with a Camouflage Net, clinging to the ground. Seeing Xiang Shan, he finally called out, "Nameless Hero, this time... you’ve played it really big, huh? My goodness... now even ’God’ might take notice over here!"

After thinking, Xiang Shan didn’t directly respond with "Old Dog is probably watching a live satellite feed" but simply asked, "Where’s Jader?"
