Chapter 576: Chapter 220 A Comedy of Errors

"Kotoba..." Xiang Shan looked at the unfamiliar cybernetically enhanced martial artist and uttered this name.

The Holy Maiden—Kanhara Shinhara nodded, "So you do remember me, Uncle Xiang. The history related to my father must be an important piece of data that constitutes your personality mask."

"Isn’t it the first time seeing me, is it? The other ’mes’ all remember you..." Xiang Shan took another half step back, steadying himself, and with a deep tone, said, "So that’s how it is... your father... that incident... Tsk. It seems there was such a matter. Many of us were influenced by that. When you were still an infant, your father sent me a video. I watched you grow up, Kotoba..."

Kanhara Shinhara wanted to step closer, but Xiang Shan, with his head lowered, said, "But you joined the Six Dragons Sect. Why?"

Kanhara Shinhara felt a hint of danger. She had worked in Superman Enterprise as a subordinate to the industrialist Xiang Shan. During the secret wars, she also learned the earliest cyber martial arts as one of the first apprentices of the Hero Xiang Shan. She was well aware of "Uncle Xiang’s" personality.

She glanced left and right. Although the protectors of the Six Dragons Sect had regrouped, they were all in a state of stupor.

These protectors did not know her real identity. However, they all witnessed her entanglement with the King of Godspeed. Others might not know the story of the King of Godspeed from the Old Era, but at least they knew the King of Godspeed was the foster son of that man. That man was once the best partner of Martial Ancestor Xiang Shan.

The only person who could be called "Uncle Xiang" was indeed this one man.

To become a follower of the Six Dragons Sect, even a midstream member, meant that these people could not possibly be adherents and followers of the Martial Ancestor’s "chivalrous" ideology.

But those who do not believe in the concepts of the Martial Ancestor can also be his admirers.

Because of his personal capabilities, because of his past experiences, because of the legend he created.

Those who venerate strength can trample the weak while at the same time worshiping someone determined to awaken the masses as a figure of power.

The Six Dragons Sect is no stranger to such individuals.

They might be able to fight against a person who stepped out of myths. But at least, they would need a little time to digest this news.

—If this chance was missed, there would be no way to disarm Uncle Xiang...

The only opportunity to attack the man before her was the launcher concealed in her wrist. But given the opponent’s neural reflexes, it had to be aimed at an extremely close range in an inconspicuous manner.

She shook her head, "For our futu..."

At that moment, Xiang Shan raised his hand.

Due to the magnetic field’s transfer effect, more metal aerosol was mobilized. The metal aerosol, slightly heavier than air, flowed silently on the ground and suddenly lifted.

The area that severely hindered visibility wasn’t large, but it was enough to slice and shatter Kanhara Shinhara’s line of sight.

Kanhara Shinhara immediately retreated.

But a certain sharp sound...

Before Kanhara Shinhara could react, the Levy Envoy pounced on her, colliding with Xiang Shan who had maneuvered to her diagonal rear.

A flash of the sword, and the Sonicon Blade’s Fierce Wave cut through the metal aerosol, also severing the Levy Envoy’s arm. The Levy Envoy struggled to twist his body. Perhaps it was because Xiang Shan was emotionally fluctuant and had lost his edge, or maybe because of the severe depletion from cutting the building, the Sonicon Blade’s blade immediately shattered.

The Levy Envoy clutched the stump of his arm, preventing the metal aerosol from filling his prosthetic body. Despite the incongruity of the moment, the thought flashed through his mind:

—To have an arm severed by a god... this will be the glory of my life...

Amidst the scattering fragments, Xiang Shan roared: "Kotoba ah... Kotoba! Do you think you can negotiate terms with me? Do you remember how many old friends your Uncle Xiang has slaughtered?"

```

The Mystic Tortoise True Gang would need to adjust the magnetic fields in various areas according to the situation, to change the form of the metal aerosol cluster suspended by magnetism. The particle layer of magnetic suspension, which should have been like a mirror, now undulates like the surface of water. From the outside, it looks like a computational model tailored for the surface of a liquid.

In consideration of Kanhara Shinhara’s past as a hero, Xiang Shan’s first strike aimed not to "pierce the Biological Brain" but to "completely sever the head." Humans with prosthetic modifications do not die easily.

He might prepare a virtual prison for this former comrade. Perhaps the trial could wait until there was more leeway in the situation.

But the first task was to take down the opponent.

Xiang Shan’s hand slid from his forehead to his face, as if removing a mask that wasn’t there. Through the gap between his middle and ring fingers, one of his eyes gazed directly at the somewhat dazed Levy Envoy and Kanhara Shinhara.

At the critical moment, a drone fell, aiming for Xiang Shan’s head.

At the same time, a protector of the Six Dragons Sect named "Guama" screamed, "Be careful! Do not look directly into his eyes."

Old-timers in Jianghu all knew this experience: if an enemy made a seemingly meaningless but culturally significant gesture on the battlefield, it was generally a sign of a special Inner Strength attack’s self-suggestion.

The sect members of the Six Dragons, startled, averted their gaze like frightened birds.

Then Kanhara Shinhara saw the shadow on the ground.

Xiang Shan drew another blade. Under anger and sorrow, he no longer spared the number of blades.

Kanhara Shinhara retreated once again.

There was simply no way to fight. This was the first time the members of the Six Dragons Sect experienced the terrifying aspect of a Martial God from the myths.

With the enemy holding an overwhelming advantage in Inner Strength, the other side could not even face their opponent, "team command network" or even "information sharing" had been halted. On top of that, the martial arts of "Mystic Tortoise True Gang" could even cut through the remaining field of vision, preventing the squad members from coordinating with each other.

Not to mention, all the people here are inferior in external strength to this nameless Martial God.

To defeat a Martial God, one could only rely on "absolute prosthetic body strength" or "absolute numerical suppression."

Kanhara Shinhara desperately dodged Xiang Shan’s next series of attacks and said, "Uncle Xiang, I’m not asking for mercy. But please, consider the reality."

Above the vault of heaven, a meteor had already faintly appeared.

"The Mystic Tortoise True Gang might be strong, but you should remember its flaw, right? It’s too conspicuous on satellite imagery."

The Solo Kill King had managed to hold on largely because those protectors of the Six Dragons Sect did not dare move at full power at the start, fearing satellite lock-on.

And the Mystic Tortoise True Gang was too conspicuous for satellites to miss.

Xiang Shan sneered, "So what?"

"You won’t be able to safely leave after annihilating all of us and then from that orbital drop troop," Kanhara Shinhara said helplessly. "Do you expect the events of eighty years ago to repeat themselves?"

Kanhara Shinhara didn’t actually know the "events of eighty years ago." She only knew that the Eighth Martial God sacrificed himself to save a city. However, she was aware of a principle—the individual source of information and all its Personality Masks were highly likely to make the same judgment in the same situation.

And fortune favored her this time.

Xiang Shan had just used the self-suggestion of "switching masks" to choose the ’Eight’ with stronger Inner Strength.
