"Isn't it dangerous to just stand guard outside? After all, the opponent is the Ascension Sect; it would be safer to guard him closely."
One of the members of the Blue and White Team was Ryo Five. He was known for his steady and analytical approach, making him the team's think tank.
Although they kindly offered free personal protection, Xu Gu rejected it with just one sentence, not fully understanding the situation. Naturally, this made everyone feel indignant and angry.
Consequently, they all agreed to teach Xu Gu a small lesson, but now that the situation had escalated, Ryo Five started feeling a little afraid. He worried that something might go wrong, especially since an S-rank opponent appeared in Xia City only once every few years, and there was no room for mistakes.
Wang Lanlan had already transformed into a petite but extremely cool dark blue female biker. She held a sniper rifle in her hand and quietly found a suitable sniping point to hide.
Looking at Ryo Five's message in the team chat room, Wang Lanlan frowned and said, "There shouldn't be any problems. He has more than ten Level 30 bodyguards beside him. They shouldn't all be D-rank. Their combat strength shouldn't be too weak. We'll guard outside and be in charge of his outer perimeter. Even if we encounter trouble that we can't handle, with these bodyguards stalling for time, we can still rush over in time. I also wanted to guard him, but he wasn't willing. Instead of arguing and giving the Ascending Sect an opportunity, I might as well do something."
Naturally, she couldn't let her team members be reckless. She had everything in mind and always pursued stability when doing things.
"Roger!"
"As expected of the captain! Not only is it foolproof, but it will also teach that arrogant little fellow a small lesson."
The party members immediately replied in unison. Though they were panicking as well, they calmed down after hearing Captain Wang Lanlan's analysis.
As they spoke, they had already hidden themselves around the manor.
...
Xu Gu's radar range was wide, so he naturally noticed the Blue and White Team's actions. He felt a little helpless, thinking that they were just causing trouble for him. How could a bunch of Levels 20-30 C-rank motorcycles protect him when he couldn't even protect himself?
Although touched by their actions, he was prepared to send a message to Wang Lanlan to get these people to evacuate. If it didn't work, he could only let Xia An deal with them.
But then, suddenly, a violent sound came from the sky.
It was as if divine lightning had exploded.
Then, a huge cargo helicopter swooped down toward the Starry Sky Manor where Xu Gu was.
"Damn it!"
"Crazy! Where did they get a cargo helicopter?"
"Take it down!"
Wang Lanlan's pupils constricted, and her expression turned ugly. She even stood up straight, the dark blue sniper rifle as tall as a person on her shoulder, fully charged and about to be launched.
However...
Boom!
It wasn't just the sky that was in danger. More than ten modified armed SUVs appeared around them at the same time. They weren't in the form of bikers, but when they crashed into the Blue and White Team's camp, they exploded with tremendous force.
The power was different!
The Blue and White Team members, including Wang Lanlan, who was about to shoot down the cargo helicopter, were instantly injured.
"Captain!"
"We've been attacked! Many steel aberrations! Level 30!"
"They are very strong!"
The team members' exclamations came through the communication.
The armored off-road vehicles were pulling steel aberrations whose minds had been eroded by the Mechanical Abyss.
These aberrations were all failed products that did not retain much consciousness and intelligence after being infected by the power of the Mechanical Abyss. However, their destructive power was astonishing because they still had some intelligence and could cooperate and use weapons far stronger than the Steel Beasts!
Before the armed off-road vehicles self-destructed, the steel aberrations had already jumped down in advance, holding weapons emitting blue light.
Their eyes were scarlet as they charged at the crowd like a flood of steel.
Wang Lanlan was sent flying by the sudden blast of the bomb. Although shocked and anxious, she still turned her body in the air at the first moment. The sniper rifle on her shoulder spat out blue flames.
"Boom!"
The high-voltage electric bullets shot out from the sniper rifle like thunder and went straight for the group of steel aberrations that had attacked her.
Before the steel aberrations at the front could touch the bullets, the terrifying airwaves directly pressed down on their chests, caving them in.
Immediately after, their bodies exploded like steel beasts, and all kinds of steel parts scattered in all directions.
However, the other steel aberrations did not show any signs of fear. They charged even more fiercely.
"Fight first! Deal with the immediate threat! Reinforcements! Xu Gu has bodyguards, so he can hold on for a while!"
Veins popped out on Wang Lanlan's forehead as she felt immense pressure. The madness of the Ascension Sect was terrifying even to her!
She carried the sniper rifle on her back with skillful precision and drew two Aurora longswords from her waist. Her figure was swift as she leaped, charging towards the steel aberrations.
"Bang!"
Rank B, Level 30. Her strength was definitely the best in Xia City. These steel aberrations were like chickens and dogs in her hands. She killed them with a single sword.
Seeing that the situation was about to stabilize and the pressure reduced, Wang Lanlan took a deep breath and started paying attention to Xu Gu's situation.
Wang Lanlan lost her composure and almost went berserk.
She saw a group of steel aberrations falling from the assault helicopters in the sky. Their bodies emitted a dense black gas, landing on Xu Gu like wild beasts.
Meanwhile, Xu Gu stood in the manor and faced the steel aberrations of the Ascension Sect directly!
"Why is he alone? What about the dozen Level 30 bodyguards he mentioned?!"
"He doesn't have any bodyguards! Damn it! What nonsense! You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth!"
Wang Lanlan's power core seemed to have been suddenly grabbed by someone. It almost stopped operating, and her face was filled with panic.
If Xu Gu didn't have bodyguards, he would have been killed by the steel aberrations of the Ascension Sect thrown from the transport helicopters!
Wang Lanlan did not have time to think. She abandoned the steel aberrations in front of her and charged forward like a madman.
Instantly, she transformed into her motorcycle form, and two machine guns rose from the body of the motorcycle. Sweeping the steel aberrations behind her, she planned to save Xu Gu.
However...
"Bang!"
On the way, a huge steel aberration stood about a few hundred meters away. Its appearance was green, not the cheap white of ordinary steel aberrations. It had two horns on its head and looked ferocious, standing three meters tall with an extremely powerful aura.
This was an Elite Steel Aberration!
"Level 30, Elite Steel Aberration."
Wang Lanlan's breathing quickened, and her power core overloaded. She felt extremely uneasy and desperate.
The Level 30 Elite Steel Aberration was on par with her in terms of strength!
However, she was not good at close combat.
"Reinforcements? Forget it!"
"Die!" The Elite Steel Aberration let out an extremely violent sound, and its eyes flashed with a fierce light. It quickly moved, and the sickle in its hand slashed through the air.
"Not level 30! Level 35?" Wang Lanlan's pupils constricted as she used the two swords in her hands to block. An enormous force pressed down on them like a mountain.
Boom!
Her body was sent flying, and the D-rank lightsaber in her hand showed signs of cracking.
At the same time.
"Damn it! They sent out elite steel aberrations!"
"This group of Ascension Sect disciples is crazy!"
"Save me!"
Wang Lanlan's team members cried out in despair, their expressions changing drastically.
Especially when they looked at Xu Gu.
This feeling of despair was almost tangible.
In front of Xu Gu, not only were there a dozen normal steel aberrations but also several elite ones! And the aura on their bodies was stronger than the elite steel aberrations of their own bodies, only stronger than their own.
"How could this be..."
Wang Lanlan's mind was shaken, and her eyes were filled with fear and despair. She couldn't believe that the Ascension Sect would be so crazy. Could they even assassinate the president?
But to assassinate a newly awakened S-rank freshman?
Yet...
Just as she was about to risk her life and give up the possibility of survival to take down as many steel aberrations as possible.
There was a loud bang in the distance.
"Boom!"
Xu Gu took action.
In front of the members of the Blue and White Team, the nightmarish steel aberrations and elite steel aberrations were like clay chickens and pottery dogs in front of Xu Gu.
He was unstoppable, one slash for one.
"Too weak! Too weak! Too weak!
"Is this all you've got? Are you all underestimating me too much!"
Xu Gu's overbearing words echoed through the chaos.
This scene shocked the world.
