Chapter 166, Day 5: The Power to Control Machinery
Zhang Wei sat at his desk, organizing the documents he had collected recently.
He wasn't high enough rank to participate in the battle at Xingluo Mountain; he could only be responsible for maintaining order in Nanjiang City.
The third day of the Black Curse outbreak.
By gathering the power of all the masters in Nanjiang City, the Vajra He was burned, and the cursed demonic shadow appeared in the world.
Then the Abyss Cultists and the Mechanicus launched a surprise attack.
The quasi-king is joining the war.
The battlefield shifted to Xingluo Mountain.
The fourth day of the Black Curse outbreak.
The battle at Xingluo Mountain is not over yet.
A giant mechanical snake appeared in the center of Nanjiang City, causing numerous casualties before burrowing underground and disappearing without a trace.
Apart from the conflict and fighting between the emerging organization, the Longevity Society, and the guild warriors, nothing else happened in Nanjiang City that day, and it was unusually peaceful.
Today marks the fifth day since the Black Curse broke out.
Zhang Wei looked up and gazed out the window at Xingluo Mountain in the distance.
"By today, there should be a result..."
The outcome of this battle will directly affect millions of people in Nanjiang and Beijiang cities.
"Captain, the teachers from Shenwu Academy have arrived and want to see you."
A newly recruited team member walked in and spoke.
Zhang Wei was taken aback, then immediately stubbed out his cigarette and walked out.
At the door.
He met a middle-aged man wearing a black robe with cloud patterns, glasses, and a gentle expression.
"My name is Zhao Xu. I am a professor of mysticism at Shenwu Academy and also Yan Runan's teacher. You must be Captain Zhang, right? My student has been taken care of by you."
"No, no, it's me who troubled her more." Zhang Wei felt a strong sense of pressure in front of him, as if he were facing Lu Beili.
Eighth rank? No, it's more likely a ninth-rank Grandmaster!
"Yan Runan...didn't she come with you?" Zhang Wei asked.
Zhao Xu shook his head. "She caused some trouble at school, went too far, so I locked her up. Being influenced by emotions proves she's not a qualified martial artist yet."
"Is that so..."
Zhao Xu looked up at Zhang Wei through his glasses and asked, "Where is Jiang Yuan from our school? My mission here is to bring him back to Shenwu Academy."
Zhang Wei was taken aback upon hearing this, and said, "Shouldn't he be in the Martial Arts Guild?"
"Could you please show me the way?"
"certainly."
Zhang Wei led Zhao Xu to the Martial Arts Guild.
Chatting along the way.
The conversation mostly revolved around Jiang Yuan.
Zhao Xu showed great interest in him.
They showed no concern or pity for the conditions in the surrounding cities and the tragedy of the people suffering under the curse.
This indifferent, cold, and condescending attitude made Zhang Wei increasingly unhappy, and his answers became increasingly perfunctory.
Zhao Xu wasn't angry.
The two soon arrived at the Martial Arts Guild.
Just as they were about to push the door open and enter.
"Boom!"
The earth trembled violently with a deafening roar.
The tall building swayed.
A large shopping mall a few hundred meters away collapsed and dented.
"ah!!!"
"What is this?!"
Amidst the horrified screams of a large crowd.
A colossal steel serpent, its head as large as a house, burst forth from the ground, hurtling straight towards the Martial Arts Guild's clock tower!
Zhang Wei's expression changed drastically!
"not good!"
At this moment, the Martial Arts Guild lacks any Grandmaster-level high-ranking combatants. Who can stop a seventh-tier mechanical creation?!
"Professor Zhao." Zhang Wei looked at the man beside him, hoping he would help.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Xu waved his hand.
"No, no, I'm not good at fighting, and my talent isn't suited to dealing with these mechanical creations."
Liar!
Zhang Wei gritted his teeth.
The mechanical giant serpent was about to crash into the barrier surrounding the Martial Artists Guild.
Zhao Xu said casually, "Isn't dealing with monsters that have broken into the city the job of the Patrol Division? Captain Zhang, please let me see your valiant fighting spirit."
"Shall we see?"
Zhang Wei cursed angrily, unable to stand idly by any longer, and drew his sword, charging towards the giant mechanical snake.
"Swish swish swish swish!"
Countless red lasers shot out from the mechanical giant snake.
"Clang clang clang clang clang!!"
Zhang Wei quickly swung his knife to block most of the blows, but his left shoulder was still hit, instantly leaving a large, bloody hole.
The massive steel head of the mechanical serpent slammed into Zhang Wei, sending him flying and smashing through several houses!
"puff……"
Zhang Wei lay in the deep pit, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The giant mechanical snake raised its head high, reaching the height of a twenty-story building, and looked down at Zhang Wei in the pit, its eyes glowing red.
Zhang Wei's eyes were filled with anger and despair. He gripped the gold-grade knife tightly in his hand, but he couldn't even stand up.
No... the difference in strength is too great.
The seventh-order mechanical creation is comparable to a seventh-order lord-level ferocious beast. With his sixth-order A-level sequence talent, he simply cannot contend with it!
"hateful……!!"
Zhang Wei growled in frustration.
"laugh!"
Two laser beams sliced through the air and fell straight down.
After a brief silence.
"boom!!"
A violent explosion swept outwards, and the houses on both sides were instantly blown away like mud!
The patrol officers who arrived at top speed stared blankly at the scene.
"Team, captain?!"
"You're kidding..."
"Cough cough, I'm not dead!"
Zhang Wei's voice came from the other side.
The members of the patrol division looked on with surprise and excitement!
The smoke and dust cleared.
Zhang Wei's figure, leaning against the wall and carrying a knife, came into view.
"team leader!"
"Very good!"
"I knew the captain wouldn't die!"
"Don't make me sound like I'm immortal," Zhang Wei cursed, glancing to the side. "Someone saved me."
The other patrol officers followed his gaze.
A blurry figure appeared in the center of the smoke.
Only a pair of golden eyes, burning like fire yet calm and indifferent, shone brightly.
"call."
A strong wind blew by, and the smoke and dust dissipated.
The boy stood tall and straight, hands in his pockets, his black clothes fluttering in the wind.
The body is wrapped in antique brass machinery.
"It's him!" A member of the patrol department recognized the boy.
The others also realized what was happening, their eyes filled with awe.
The story of the seventeen-year-old boy killing an eighth-level musician has spread throughout the Patrol Division and is regarded as a legend.
Everyone knows it!
At this moment, all the Grandmaster-level combatants are gone.
He stands at the very top of Nanjiang City!
"Whoosh!"
"BOOM!!"
The mechanical serpent stirred up a violent storm, twisting its massive, heavy steel body, crushing houses and roads, and rushing towards Jiang Yuan with terrifying wind pressure.
The members of the patrol division looked on with awe and curiosity, wondering what terrifying talent the young man would use to execute the mechanical serpent.
Jiang Yuan simply reached out his hand towards the charging mechanical giant snake and grasped it in mid-air.
then……
The mechanical giant snake shattered.
