Chapter 248: Chapter 136 ’No.7 Assassin’_2

"This is the power of unity."

Clusters of armor appeared one after another in the Sari Desert.

Missile positions, artillery bases, swarms of unmanned drones, temporary maintenance bases for Secondary Horror Mechas, and even Wang Jixuan saw that ’big guy’ floating in the sky—a space battleship hundreds of meters long, hovering in the high altitudes.

Humanity had only four space battleships in total, and one of them had appeared here.

"That’s the force from the No. 3 Space Fortress."

Lingtong said softly,

"The King-level Blade Beast that we’ve marked as ’No. 7 Assassin’ poses too great a threat to human civilization. If we can lure it here and take care of it, we can relieve the pressure it’s creating on a broader front of the war. That’s why the Space Fortress is seriously getting involved this time."

Wang Jixuan pointed at his vertical pupils and said, "That thing might be able to hear our conversation."

Lingtong asked, "Haven’t we already confirmed that it’s just a marker and doesn’t have the ability to transmit information?"

"That’s uncertain, science can’t perfectly explain the Blade Beast Civilization."

Wang Jixuan leaned back in the comfortable massage chair, tilting his head to watch the scene outside the porthole, murmuring,

"I wonder if we can smoothly take out the enemy in this big battle."

"It will go smoothly."

Lingtong looked down at Wang Jixuan’s left hand resting on the armrest of the chair.

In her mind, a scene emerged—her holding his left hand with her right, their fingers interlocked.

That was in accordance with the ritual before the battle.

But as she lifted her right hand, the fine cracks on her mechanical arm made her purse her lips and quietly lower her hand to the side.

Wang Jixuan’s Spiritual Sense clearly captured this moment, and after a brief thought, decided to take the initiative.

"By the way, commander, I can read palms. Want me to have a look at yours?"

"Hm?" Lingtong did not react immediately.

Mu Dan, who was fitting a new weapon, turned her head and nearly burst out laughing.

’Commander’s way of flirting is so retro.’

’That’s what Mu Dan thought.’

...

It took Wang Jixuan more than ten hours to adapt the more than three hundred Array Bases with the unmanned drone swarm.

He prepared two Formations, not only using up all the ’hair’ plucked from Tree Man Beta but also many rare minerals.

The Thunder Venerate Demonic Array, comprised of seventy-two Array Bases, served as the main Killing Array;

The Shulong Formation, consisting of one hundred and eight Array Bases, acted as the Trapping Array;

The remaining unmanned drones and Array Bases were supplementary resources, designed for a saturation Formation deployment.

This King-level Blade Beast, entirely different from that Level Spirit Ability User known as Mo Feng, left Wang Jixuan unsure of how effective the Killing Array would be. The focus of today’s battle was actually on the Shulong Formation.

The Shulong Formation was no mere Trapping Array; its Array Bases could tap into the Earth Vein Power, using the turbid Spiritual Energy of the earth to bolster the Formation’s might.

Later, Wang Jixuan wasn’t the main attacker.

He was just the bait.

Two thirty-six-meter-level Secondary Horror Mechas were ready, one being the ’Jiao Long’ adapted for the Deep Sea, and the other, the ’Black Swan’, suited for the Red Snake environment.

—With the number of Secondary Horror Mechas being limited, they generally were adapted to three pilots. Apart from the Deep Sea and the Red Snake, two other half-human Mechas, slightly less powerful, were on standby as backup pilots, in case anything unforeseen happened to the Deep Sea or the Red Snake.

Lingtong’s specialized sixteen-meter-level ’Lingtong’ Mecha had also been delivered to this battleground.

Her main responsibility was to protect Wang Jixuan, while being able to face up to three General Level Blade Beasts at the same time.

As for Wang Jixuan, the bait, the military had not assigned him any explicit combat missions. Dongfang Zhenghong advised him to play his part but not to take unnecessary risks.

There were still eight hours before the predicted start of the battle.

Wearing his War Armor, equipped with various gear, and with his vertical pupils overhead, Wang Jixuan took the awakened Ji Xiao and instructed Mu Dan to drive the specially designed supply vehicle to the center of the predetermined battleground on the sand dune.

The supply vehicle stopped at the tip of the dune, surrounded by arc-shaped fire control positions, with the two thirty-six-meter-level Secondary Horror Mechas clearly in sight.

Mu Dan asked, "Commander, need me to do anything?"

"Connect the command channel to the vehicle. I want to listen to what they’re talking about."

"Yes, sir."

Ji Xiao sniffled. He was adorned with Self-Destruction Collars on his neck, wrists, and ankles, and his philtrum looked bulged because of a small Self-Destruction Collar there.

It seems the Deep Sea had taken Wang Jixuan’s instructions seriously.

Ji Xiao let out a slight sigh, his face bearing a look of sorrow, and his eyes filled with kindness.

"Commander, need me to do anything?"

"Stay outside the vehicle and keep watch."

"Alright. If I can do something for humanity to atone for my many years of sins, I would be... very..."

Ji Xiao began to choke up, his head bowed as he opened the door of the supply vehicle and jumped onto the sand dune, looking all around.

Wang Jixuan lifted his hand to massage his forehead.

He didn’t enjoy interacting with the likes of Mane Bear, Ji Yale, Ji Xiao—these ’Buddhist Disciples’;

They had truly lost their Selves, had their personalities altered, their goodness somehow becoming twisted.

Meditating, resting, creating talismans.

Wang Jixuan glanced around at the increasingly cluttered space inside the vehicle, somewhat helplessly anticipating reaching the Golden Core Realm. Then, he should be able to use ordinary materials for refining Storage Magical Artifacts.

If he had better treasure materials, he might even attempt to make a Storage Bag in the Condensation Realm.

That’s how Cultivation works.

No cultivator could clearly explain the principles behind the Prohibitions of these Artifacts; they only knew that the original Cultivation Methods, Artifact Refining, Alchemy, Formations, and so forth, all came down from the Immortal Realm.

But once cultivators obtained these Patterns for Prohibitions, painstakingly figured them out, they could continuously refine Magic Artifacts.

Wang Jixuan looked at the several blood-colored Elixirs tucked in his embrace, feeling a bit guilty.
