Chapter 334: Chapter 334

334: Chapter 114: Turing Lineage 334: Chapter 114: Turing Lineage In the instant Xiang Shan revealed himself, Fengxiong IV recognized him.

C·Shivaji-21 also sensed this recognition through synchronization.

— Damn it, what’s with that team that’s hunting him?

Are they still searching in Domingo City?

C·Shivaji-21 cursed his colleagues as useless, but he did not dare to be negligent, immediately arranging for more people to join the fray.

This battle was entirely different from the one in Domingo City.

C·Shivaji-21’s Inner Strength was stronger than the deceased GA-R03, and Fengxiong IV was on par with GA-R03.

In that battle, both were limited by the network and couldn’t exert their full strength.

This time, only a few hundred meters apart, their Inner Strength could communicate with each other, allowing for a greater impact.

On the other hand, they now only had about a dozen Mobile Cavalry on both sides, slightly fewer than during GA-R03’s time.

However, knowing they would be fighting against the Burrow Dragon underground, this time, the Mobile Cavalry’s Prosthetic Bodies were specialized for subterranean combat, capable of clinging effectively to the rock walls of underground canyons.

The enemy lacked this advantage.

Xiang Shan stretched his limbs as much as possible, clinging to the rock wall like a nimble mountain goat or snow leopard.

No, even animals that live on cliffs would be helpless against such a vertical rock face.

Perhaps only birds and flying insects could move here.

But modern Prosthetic Bodies were outrageously powerful.

Xiang Shan could even hang himself on some fulcrums with just two fingers.

As long as there was a fulcrum, Xiang Shan could keep moving with brief contact.

The biggest problem was still the weight.

Xiang Shan’s weight, measured in tons, was still too much for these natural rock walls.

As Xiang Shan moved along the rock wall, stones kept falling behind him.

One could even say that if he stopped, the rock layer couldn’t bear his weight, and he would fall.

Although falling wouldn’t kill him, during those few seconds in mid-air, he would be a live target for an entire squad, with all guns able to fire at him.

Xiang Shan hesitated for a few seconds.

He was pondering whether to first search for the Eighth Martial God’s Legacy or to first annihilate this group of Houndhawks.

Securing the Eighth Martial God’s Legacy was of course a priority—not to ensure “he would obtain it,” but to make sure “King Aqini couldn’t.” Xiang Shan had made up his mind to destroy it if necessary.

To destroy it, he first had to find it.

But once Xiang Shan found it, those Houndhawks would also find it.

Using a 2D barcode “script” that only Xiang Shan understood to convey the message from the Eighth Martial God was pointless.

Compared to the Houndhawks, Xiang Shan had only this slight advantage.

But if he chose to engage in battle first…

Honestly, Xiang Shan wasn’t sure.

The prime Martial Ancestor Xiang Shan might have been able to slice through these rabble like cutting up vegetables, but the current Xiang Shan, with incomplete Inner Strength and inferior Prosthetic Bodies, was somewhat endangered when facing the enemy who had the terrain advantage.

Yet, the enemy had not given him any choice at all.

Two cold-blooded rangers attacked from above and below, simultaneously cornering Xiang Shan.

Underneath their truncated prosthetic legs unfolded, forming a bizarre, non-biological foot structure.

They used this structure to cling to the rock walls.

The rangers skillfully connected the two sections of their rifle barrels, aiming to suppress Xiang Shan with the length of their blades.

Xiang Shan didn’t watch his opponents directly but instead used his peripheral vision in combination with his hearing to assess the situation.

As soon as a spear tip appeared at the edge of his vision, he reacted like lightning, seizing the spear shaft.

Then, he let go of the rock wall, swinging his entire body while holding onto the long spear.

The ranger above was pulled by Xiang Shan, and abruptly dislodged from the rock face.

Xiang Shan slammed his knee against the rock, using “Borrowing Force to Strike” in mid-air to spin the ranger halfway around.

As the ranger collided with his companion’s spear tip, Xiang Shan also gained upward momentum.

Xiang Shan spread his limbs to stabilize himself while he drew his short gun and fired downwards, pushing back the two rangers as he continued his ascent.

Ultimately, Xiang Shan decided it was best to eliminate this group of rangers before anything else.

However, two more rangers moved in from directly above, blocking his path.

Xiang Shan swiftly turned his head away, trying his best to avoid the gaze of the two rangers’ prosthetic eyes.

The presence of these two disciples of King Aqini forced him to be extra cautious!

Another pair of rangers flanked him.

Xiang Shan moved swiftly like a human spider, but the rangers were slightly faster.

In a split second, Xiang Shan swiftly pulled out his Sonicon Blade and executed a sweeping strike.

Yet in this open space, the one-meter length of the Sonicon Blade proved to be a significant disadvantage.

As they met, Xiang Shan sliced off a leg of one ranger.

The remaining prosthetic leg couldn’t support the ranger’s free movement on the cliff, and he fell.

However, Xiang Shan simply couldn’t find an opportunity to incapacitate or kill the ranger completely.

More rangers converged.

Like wolves hunting a tiger, they kept coming from all directions, trying to inflict even minor injuries on Xiang Shan.

But Xiang Shan’s external strength was indeed extraordinary.

Instead, he managed to injure several rangers in succession.

Shivaji-21 watched this scene, astounded.

Although the data from the battle at Domingo City also indicated that this Hero was exceptional in both internal and external skills, seeing it in person still felt absurd.

—With both internal and external skills at this level, why hasn’t the Hero started preparing the reactor to ascend to the First Layer Heavenly Land?

—But no matter what, this Hero is truly too dangerous… He must not be left alive!

Shivaji-21 issued the order for a second wave of attacks.

The moment Xiang Shan’s hand touched a rock, a bullet came from the rock face opposite, striking the rock near him, causing it to fracture.

Xiang Shan pressed his hand against it; the rock actually came loose, giving him no leverage.

Xiang Shan’s movement technique was indeed very sophisticated, and his continuous shifting greatly evaded targeting.

Moreover, his prosthetic body performance far exceeded his natural body, meaning a single bullet wouldn’t take his life.

However, while Xiang Shan could dodge bullets, he couldn’t prevent them from hitting the rock wall.

With “click, click, click, click” sounds, dozens of bullets were shot towards the area surrounding Xiang Shan.

Xiang Shan moved swiftly, trying to leave the bullet-damaged rock face before losing his footing.

However, other rangers timely surrounded him.

——Ha, quite a strategy…

Such a thought flashed through Xiang Shan’s mind.

He swung his Sonicon Blade with one hand, lightly touching and moving away from the Mobile Cavalry.

Yet, those Mobile Cavalry seemed maddened, deliberately catching his blade with their bodies.

With just a few swashes, the blade of the Sonicon Blade was broken by a cold-blooded rider seizing the opportunity.

Xiang Shan hesitated for a moment.

And in that moment, bullets fell like rain.

Xiang Shan had no choice but to kick against the rock wall with both feet, using gravity to rush directly downward.

His head inevitably turned downward.

Then, he was face to face with Fengxiong IV.

The Mobile Cavalry’s desperate breaking of his Sonicon Blade was for that instant.

In that instant, Xiang Shan could not change his blade.

Meaning he could not instantly dismantle the External Armor of Fengxiong IV.

Fengxiong IV had been waiting for that moment.

In that brief moment of eye contact, the massive backdoor password data from C·Shiwaji-21 clashed with Xiang Shan’s Prosthetic Eye.

This was perhaps the most extravagant “curse” attack in fifty years.

According to intelligence sent back from GA-R03 after the last battle, this Hero was immune to most of the curses that had appeared in the last fifty years, even those almost a hundred years old had no effect on him.

However, several ancient curses were effective.

Furthermore, several pieces of government hardware he used had backdoors embedded during fabrication, all of which could open a gateway for them.

Xiang Shan’s vision went dark.

He felt “himself”—or rather, his “brain”—almost instantly expelled from his body.

The massive data tried to sever his connection with the prosthetic body.

The enemy exploited the timing, geographical, and intelligence advantages to launch an attack, one that even Xiang Shan could not exempt himself from.

However, Xiang Shan could still counterattack.

His brain worked to its limits.

The Three Dragon-Slaying Moves were not a specific code, but a special technique that involved programming using brain neurons.

Xiang Shan quickly restructured this segment of data with his brain,

Most members of the opposing squad were linked together.

In that instant, most of the Mobile Cavalry twitched and halted their movements.

Including Fengxiong IV and C·Shiwaji-21, most of the Houndhawk experts fell like dumplings into the depths of the canyon.

The remaining Houndhawks roared, about to charge at Xiang Shan, who had momentarily lost his mobility.

But in that instant, the rock wall exploded.

Burrow Dragon had hidden explosives in this region.

The old man knew which section to detonate to maximize damage to the Houndhawks.

Huge rocks fell everywhere, even the spot where Xiang Shan was located was not spared.

But the old man leaped from a hidden cave, using movement techniques to pull Xiang Shan out of the falling rocks’ range.

The continuous collapse briefly blocked the enemy and allies.

Using the cover of flying dust, the old man landed with Xiang Shan.

“How are you faring, Hero?” the old man asked.

Although he did not recognize Xiang Shan, Xiang Shan’s presence at this location to kill Houndhawks was enough to prove his stance.

Xiang Shan directly outputted data from his brain, overriding some of the malicious code.

He placed a hand on the old man and said, “Damn it…stop them…if there are other Mobile Cavalry…stop them from reaching the surface…”

At the same time, hundreds of meters away.

The last squad received a command.

It was the last command from C·Shiwaji-21.

As the overwhelming Inner Strength rolled over, C·Shiwaji-21 keenly sensed something was amiss.

Although the codes had been rewritten into a different form, the essence of those codes was the same as the curses they had sent out.

This was the effect of the legendary “Three Dragon-Slaying Moves”.
