Within the cracks of the Earth's fiery mechanical abyss.
"Roar!"
Looking at the gigantic Xu Gu, who stood before them, blocking their pursuit, the furious mechanical wolf generals, who were all at the warlord level, had their faces twisted with ferocity.
Wielding alloy wolf claws several meters long, their cold glints flashed, stirring countless waves of energy, seemingly able to cut through the very air.
Filled with rage, they charged forward.
At the same time, countless flame attacks resembling sea serpents descended upon Xu Gu.
Unfazed, Xu Gu remained calm, his expression unchanged. With a sudden slash of his blade, terrifying energy erupted instantly.
The world trembled.
Fierce winds howled, and thunder and lightning filled the surroundings.
The air crackled like thunder.
A flash of cold light seemed to slice open the entire sky!
In an instant, all the attacks of the mechanical wolf generals vanished under that one slash, turning into nothingness, into dust.
The foremost mechanical wolf general charging at Xu Gu suddenly had a white line appearing on its body, then it split open abruptly. Afterward, with a loud bang, the massive steel body exploded in mid-air, shrouded in smoke and dazzling light.
Leaving behind the other mechanical wolf generals, who hadn't reached the front yet, with a dumbfounded expression, their minds blank as if struck by lightning.
So, this powerhouse had come to bully us, the small fries?
No one had expected that before the hunting team of demon hunters, a group of mechanical wolf generals that were like a nightmare could be so easily defeated by Xu Gu's blade.
With a single mighty blow, everything was leveled!
Whether it was the flame shields that took the hunting team half an hour to breach or the steel bodies comparable to the strongest alloys, they all crumbled like paper under Xu Gu's furious blue blade.
"Hoo!"
A frightened roar echoed.
The formerly fearless mechanical wolf generals, who always charged to the front, were now completely terrified, instinctively turning to flee in a pathetic state.
"Want to escape?"
Xu Gu sneered, not pursuing them, but instead tightening his grip on the blue blade in his hand and pointing it towards the distant fleeing mechanical wolf generals.
A slash descended.
Tremendous energy surged out like a vast ocean, roaring like an angry sea, forming a terrifying ice-blue blade dozens of meters long.
Boom!
The blade descended.
The group of mechanical wolf generals, who had fled far enough, was now helpless against this slash!
The ferocious blade light swept through, and the power of destruction engulfed them, crushing all the mechanical wolf generals!
"You killed..."
"You killed..."
"You killed..."
The system notifications continued to sound.
Xu Gu remained calm, unruffled, and nonchalant, as if he had only done something insignificant.
He continued walking toward the depths of the valley.
Outside,
"Gurgle."
The members of the demon-hunting team looked dumbfounded, their eyes wide, their hearts filled with shock and awe, questioning the reality before them.
"How is this possible?"
"He killed them all with one slash?"
"Is he really that strong?"
"Isn't Xia City just a small city?"
"How could such a formidable existence appear here?"
Exclamations filled the air.
The injured members of the demon-hunting team were filled with fear, shocked beyond words, as if they had seen a monstrous creature.
"This is a heavyweight, right? My idol! No! He's my god!" Among them, the leader of the light cards, Lin Tianli, was the most excited. As a truck himself, he yearned for the astonishing power that Xu Gu possessed!
At this moment, looking at Xu Gu's massive figure, his eyes were gleaming.
"He's going after the boss."
"Should we go and see?"
"Forget it, we might end up in the same situation as those mechanical wolf generals if we offend such a master!"
...
In the valley,
The three-headed mechanical wolf, the Flame, suddenly raised its head and looked into the distance.
It was in the process of ascending and was at a critical moment when a sense of intense danger caused its pupils to constrict.
As a mechanical creature about to become a lord, it felt an overwhelming sense of crisis.
This feeling was hundreds of times stronger than what it had sensed before!
It was like being stared at by a giant dragon!
This place was supposed to be just a small human city!
The human forces stationed here were ridiculously weak. With its family's power, it should have been able to easily clear the area and dominate Xia City!
But, this sense of danger...
What was going on?
Before it could think too much, a massive figure walked in.
This figure didn't seem too terrifying, although powerful enough to make it wary.
However, the energy blade the opponent held glowed with terrifying power, as if a compressed sun was contained within it!
At the same time, it finally noticed that all the generals guarding its side had fallen!
"No!"
The Flame's three-headed mechanical wolf face was filled with terror and unwillingness to be humiliated. Xu Gu disdained him and thought he was not worthy of being his opponent!
"Well done! You are dragging your feet!" Xu Gu's face showed a fierce light as he scolded.
"What?" The Flame's three-headed mechanical wolf was taken aback for a moment, then overwhelmed with humiliation and rage. He felt like he was being mocked, that Xu Gu believed the current him wasn't worthy of being his opponent!
"Very well! You are seeking death!" "I'll show you the might of a lord!"
The Flame's three-headed mechanical wolf, with three heads burning with flames, roared inside. It fiercely devoured the abundant energy of the mechanical abyss around it.
Its aura began to surge rapidly, and its steel body became even brighter, sparkling with chilling brilliance. It looked like a terrifying monster walking out of hell.
After a while.
The Flame's three-headed mechanical wolf's body shrank several times, leaving only a few meters tall, but its flames turned dark red, and its surface shimmered with dark red patterns.
Its aura had at least increased several times!
The ascension was completed!
"Boom!"
An extremely astonishing momentum surged towards the sky, and the entire mechanical abyss underwent unimaginable changes!
The cracks expanded, and a vast amount of mechanical abyss energy gushed forth.
The ground trembled.
The sky flickered.
Fierce winds blew, and lightning crackled.
Outside, the members of the demon-hunting team changed their expressions again. They were surprised and showed a trace of fear, realizing it wasn't just a crack in the mechanical abyss but an impending catastrophe!
"This commotion indicates that a lord is being born!"
"What? That powerhouse from earlier?"
A member exclaimed.
The gap between a lord and a boss was like night and day!
"Stop worrying about him; that powerhouse won't have any problems."
Lin Tianli said so, but his face still showed deep concern.
...
"You human ants!"
"I'll roast you like suckling pigs!"
The Flame, now a new lord called Hellfire Wolf, roared furiously.
An insignificant human ant dared to provoke him, a newly ascended lord. It was as if the human didn't know the path to death.
With a mouthful of flame, it unleashed a fiery assault, shooting it out.
The Hellfire Cannon!
It could melt anything on its path.
Instantly, the
ground showed a several-meter-wide and half-meter-deep trench.
Its strength had increased several times compared to before.
But...
Xu Gu shook his head, expressing disappointment, "Too weak! Too weak! Really too weak!"
As he spoke, he unleashed a slash with the full power of the Furious Blue Heaven Blade, which had been charging for an entire day. The terrifying energy storm condensed into an immensely compressed energy blade.
Sweeping outwards.
The once arrogant Hellfire Wolf's face turned solemn, its pupils contracted in fear, and its power core even stopped working.
Its eyes filled with terror.
It had only one question in its mind.
Why was there such a powerful rider in this place!
Why!
Before it could find the answer, its body suddenly cracked, and all thoughts ceased.
