Chapter 573: Chapter 217: Great Talent

Xiang Shan did not wait any longer after hearing that Jader was stirring up trouble. Instead, he took Comrade Cain and retreated in the direction Jader had gone.

After all, they needed to flee Secluded Crane City and meet up with their comrades along the way.

Jader had left markers all along his route. Those were QR codes with covert meanings.

Jader was constantly setting up ambushes and escaping, taking a very winding route. However, due to his grasp of the surrounding terrain, he was always able to return to the preset path. Therefore, the markers he left could roughly form a straight line.

Meanwhile, Xiang Shan’s kung fu was extremely advanced. Whenever he encountered a small group of Protectors, he could kill his way through and leave with ease. It seemed that the Secluded Crane Knight Order had given up chasing him, citing "lack of combat strength" as the reason.

So, Xiang Shan and Cain made their way here following this path.

Then, they noticed gunshots.

It was the sound of long-distance sniping. From the intervals between the shots and other sounds, Xiang Shan could infer that this Firearm Warrior was no ordinary individual either.

That’s why he came over here to check it out first.

And then, Xiang Shan just happened to see Jader leaping up and desperately leaving a marker.

"Ah... this guy." Xiang Shan scratched his head, "He actually managed to find such a big fish in such a chaotic situation? I underestimated him."

Just from the level of this Gunner, the average level of this group of warriors was much higher than that of the Protector officers. Purely in terms of skills, perhaps only high-level military officers entrusted with guarding a territory could compare to them.

They were definitely not members of the Protectors. This level of proficiency was enough to qualify as a high-level military officer, a big shot in their own right, not someone who would use this level of Prosthetic Body. They also were not part of the official forces of Secluded Crane City. The only ones who could be stuffed into the role of corrupted Squires of the Six Dragons Sect were the ones Xiang Shan had just killed.

They were experts of the Six Dragons Sect, who had not stayed long in Secluded Crane City, but appeared here at this time.

Then there was only one answer.

The "Holy Maiden" and her party, once mentioned by the Black Hand Hero.

Xiang Shan couldn’t help but be surprised.

He indeed intended to stop this Holy Maiden and her group. He had received intelligence from the Vice Captain of the Secluded Crane Knight Order that the Holy Maiden was escorting special resources for some terrifying experimental project. He wanted to intercept the Holy Maiden to prevent the anti-human actions of the Six Dragons Sect. But he didn’t have the conditions to do so.

His swift attack on the Igni Seal also meant to use Old Dog Hartman’s hand to add an obstacle to the "Holy Maiden’s" operation.

But he never expected that Solo Kill King would be able to spot this hidden squad in the chaos that just ensued and cling to them relentlessly.

"He’s a great talent," Xiang Shan nodded, crouching down, "Just in terms of battlefield situation assessment and tracking skills, he can be called top-notch. It’s a pity he’s not great at judging the overall situation."

Then, he released the power built up in his legs.

Xiang Shan cranked up his body’s magnetic field to the max. But his speed was so fast that the metal particles, caught in the turbulent flow, still had a hard time keeping up with his movements, trailing a snake-like wake behind him. The Fierce Wave swept out with a step. Xiang Shan’s mad dash caused a large amount of dust to rise.

This was to hinder that Firearm Expert.

In "small squad" combat, the organic combination of Firearm Warriors and Combat Martial Artists could unleash terrifying combat power.

The first thing Xiang Shan had to do was to take out the "eyes" of the Firearm Warrior so he could not see the enemy!

Xiang Shan crossed the center of the battle where Jader and the Six Dragons Sect members were fighting and burst a few dozen meters ahead.

Then, he kicked the ground with all his might.

Under Xiang Shan’s feet, the ground rippled like water and burst apart like an explosion. In this force, Xiang Shan flipped through the air, flying back at supersonic speed, then stretched out his limbs in mid-air, bounced hard off the ground, and lunged forward with the force of his legs and waist.

The metal aerosol cluster traced a complicated trajectory in his hands, like a spectacled cobra warning off creatures below by lowering its head.

This scene would last less than half a second. After that, the metal aerosol cluster would undergo further transformation.

But Xiang Shan’s "Magnetic Field Flower Pulling" was nothing short of artistry.

At that second, it coincided with the moment the three Six Dragons Sect Protectors turned their heads.

The brain structure inherited from primitive humans caused the three Protectors a false sensation of their scalps exploding.

They failed to notice Xiang Shan in the middle at first.

As a result, two Protectors were sent flying backwards immediately.

Xiang Shan intended to follow up, but a bullet whistled toward him.

He hastily retreated, meeting the approaching "Poisonous Snake." The "Poisonous Snake" shattered on his body, obscured by the surrounding metal aerosol.

The last of the Six Dragons Sect Protectors was the one whose hand had been crippled by the Solo Kill King. He contemplated finishing off the Solo Kill King, but knew that if he dared to do so, he would certainly receive a thunderous blow from the newly appeared Hero before he could make a move.

The Protector forcibly gathered his spirit, cut down his fear, and swung a fist at Xiang Shan.

Shrouded in fog, Xiang Shan precisely grasped the attack, intercepting everything and slicing at that Protector’s wrist.

He swung his fist as well, carrying a mysterious and roaring blast of air.

That Protector had never heard such sounds in boxing and did not dare to take the punch head-on. Reluctantly, he raised his injured hand to block.

To his surprise, Xiang Shan’s blow came much slower than expected. He merely tapped lightly on that hand, infusing it with more metallic particles.

The Protector’s half-arm could no longer move.

Only then did the Protector realize that the mysterious whistling sound did not emanate from Xiang Shan’s fist but from the outer side of his forearm...

——The magnetic field...

Abandoning defense, the Protector seized Xiang Shan and dragged him three steps outside of the metal aerosol.

Only then did the true nature of the whistling sound reveal itself in front of the Protector. A bunch of metal aerosol on Xiang Shan’s forearm was accelerated by the magnetic field, turning into a high-speed motion.

Xiang Shan’s hand pressed on the Protector’s neck, applying Clever Force. With multiple exertions intertwining, the Protector lost his balance and actually knelt down.

The other two Protectors roared, signaling their presence to Xiang Shan, while quickly rushing to aid their fallen comrade.

When they stepped within seven meters of Xiang Shan, he lightly shook his arm.

The batch of metal aerosol, unbelievably... unbelievably...

Was flung out by him like a flying disc?

The kneeling Protector even forgot to resist for a moment, feeling that his understanding of mechanics was completely wrong.

The batch of metal aerosol flew out, striking at a Protector’s eyes.

Since the distance between them was so close and no one expected the Gang Qi Weapon System to launch such an attack, there was no chance to dodge.

This was precisely...
