Chapter 740: 384 photos of Fierce Fire [Part Three]

"Let’s get started," Yuki said. "When I first met Master, he didn’t even know he was a Martial God."

That’s what Yuki said.

Indeed, Yuki was the one who best understood Xiang Shan’s "nothing-to-care-about" attitude. He knew that even if Xiang Shan forgot he was "Xiang Shan," he would still remember "rebellion" and "struggle."

Several heroes originally didn’t pay much attention to Yuki, seeing him only as the "disciple brought by Nameless Hero" and not yet treating Yuki as an independent hero.

They even paused for a few milliseconds before realizing who Yuki was.

—A Martial God... Xiang Shan’s disciple?

At that moment, Yuan Wenren also said, "Let’s get started."

Then, beside Yuan Wenren, several metal boxes spewed brilliant flames. These flames, like blooming flowers, dispersed more and more in mid-air and then evenly covered a section of the city wall and ground stretching over a hundred meters.

These swarm missiles also came from the spoils of battle of Pine Eagle City. Their targets were the landmines underground and the shaped charges on the city walls. This bombardment was not for anything else but to create a space where the heroes could move freely.

The high-level military officer was originally hundreds of meters away. Hearing the noise, he leaped on the city wall, the Vector Injector fully activated, approaching the area where the heroes were. However, his chosen strategy was extremely conservative at this moment.

Why you ask...

In his eyes, the group of heroes outside the city had transformed from the "rotten fish and shrimps of Earth’s soil" into the "battle comrades of the Martial God," and he dared not be too careless.

Thus, the "cost" the heroes initially needed to pay was nullified at that instant.

Hiroshi Matsushima stepped up.

At this moment, Hiroshi Matsushima’s external strength had regressed slightly, but he could now use his Inner Strength overtly. Of course, his minor Inner Strength wasn’t enough to invade anyone, but the Turing Lineage’s firewall ensured that he was immune to most Inner Strength attacks.

His Inner Strength just needed to ensure it could maximally utilize this firewall’s effectiveness.

Hiroshi Matsushima’s Prosthetic Body was no longer as shabby as at the very beginning.

Xiang Shan’s original Prosthetic Body and Old Master Zhao’s Prosthetic Body from above the First Heavenly Layer, after being dismantled and collected by Xiang Shan himself, were used to construct his new Prosthetic Body. However, the remaining part, added with some reserve components from other heroes, was enough for Hiroshi Matsushima to assemble a powerful Prosthetic Body.

Although limited by materials, the heroes couldn’t create a Prosthetic Body above the First Heavenly Layer momentarily, most of the power of Hiroshi Matsushima’s fusion reactor was going to be wasted. His hands and feet couldn’t withstand his full power either.

But for Hiroshi Matsushima, this was enough.

Enough to battle a military officer of the First Heavenly Layer.

In the distance, the heroes responsible for sniping took down the soldiers on the city wall preparing to counterattack, the stormtroopers stood up, and the Solo Kill King led everyone roaring towards the city wall.

When Hiroshi Matsushima drove the "Gungnir" steel pillar into the brain of the high-level military officer, the melee on the city wall was raging. Hiroshi Matsushima leaped up and also jumped onto the city wall.

Countless soldiers swarmed onto the city wall.

To be honest, this was an unexpected situation.

In the original plan of the heroes, they wouldn’t start the battle at the city wall, but would retreat while drawing a force of several thousand people and one high-level military officer into the wilderness. There, they would attract attention and then...

But at this moment, the Ninth Martial God attracted the vast majority of attention. The army inside the city had no intention of launching an attack; the forces on the city walls only sought to keep them outside, preventing them from merging with the Martial God.

The Ninth Martial God required their full effort to block. They simply had no spare energy.

In that instant, Jader felt a sense of unreality.

The next scene intensified this "dreamy feeling"...

After Jader had killed a Martial Artist, he was about to call Hiroshi Matsushima to help destroy the large cannons on the city wall.

At that moment, a Prosthetic Body gleaming with metallic luster, wrapped in strands of Metal Aerosol, burst out from inside the city. It had four hands, each clutching a serrated cutting weapon. Landing on the city wall, the Martial Artist’s waist, legs, and Power from the Vector Injector surged, his body spinning around like a top, smashing through about a dozen large cannons.

At this time, Xiang Shan also stepped forward leisurely. His Prosthetic Eye closed, and his right hand fingers slowly swept between his eyes before reopening them. For some reason, the light indicating his "emotions" switched colors instantly.

Xiang Shan looked at several soldiers who were fighting.

Then, these soldiers trembled all over, and while still holding their original weapons, they raised a grenade high with one hand and started walking towards the inside of the city.

They attacked as they walked.

"The...the..." Jader immediately moved closer to the Ninth Martial God. "It’s the Ninth Martial God...it’s the Ninth Martial God! My goodness!" He even stretched out his hand and poked the edge of the Ninth Martial God’s wing-shaped Vector Injector array.

If Jader still needed to breathe at that moment, he might have breathed rapidly from the excitement.

"You don’t know which one I don’t like, do you..." the Ninth Martial God sighed.

During the fusion with Xiang Shan, the Ninth Martial God had shared all the memories of this Xiang Shan—including parts belonging to the Nameless Xiang Shan and parts belonging to the Eighth Martial God.

He knew who these people were. To the Ninth Martial God, these were also "friends."

Xiang Shan could make friends after his death.

"Heh...interesting." The Ninth Martial God muttered.

Xiang Shan said, "Are you not coming with us?"

"Come with you? No need," the Ninth Martial God replied. "The Space-Based Weapons network has completely collapsed... This is not a common occurrence. For me, a Prosthetic Body, this is the best opportunity to break through the atmosphere. Not to use such an opportunity would render a useful body useless. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

In Cyber Martial Arts, it wasn’t just about high Martial Arts skills that could handle everything. "Whether the Prosthetic Body and Martial Arts are adaptable to the environment" was also an issue that Martial Artists must consider.

The Ninth Martial God’s Martial Arts and Prosthetic Body performance overwhelmingly surpassed all entities in Paradox City. But under various targeted tactics by the Protectors, even after escaping, he could not easily break through.

If it weren’t for Xiang Shan. He would have to pay a much greater price to achieve the same result.

Xiang Shan nodded, "The movements of the Hartman fleet are now confirmed... I see."

"Besides, there are still civilians in the city. I have to wait for those willing to leave," he stated.

Jader was stirred up, "We’ll also help..."

"Let’s go." The Ninth Martial God’s hands, as well as the two that were originally folded on his back, each took a new cutting weapon from the weapon rack hanging on his body.
