In a Martial World High, There’s a Mystical Great World – Chapter 81

Chapter 81: The Best Sparring Partner!

Indeed, although many Spiderweb members stopped firing in terror, there were still more automated weapons here.

Just a moment into the battle, more and more weapons in the factory activated, engaging in fierce combat with the PODs they brought in mid-air.

In a short time, energy bullets and physical bullets flew densely, explosions echoed continuously, as if they were in the most intense battlefield. The protective force fields on their armors rippled constantly, and energy reserves decreased at a clearly visible rate.

At one point, Shen Xing’s armor was hit hard, a bullet piercing through the protective force field and impacting the outer shell of the armor.

“Armor-piercing bullet!”

Shen Xing’s figure once again pulled out a series of phantoms, seizing the time to launch a powerful offensive.

Although the armor’s defense was strong, it was not omnipotent. The example of Muraki Masashi, whose legs were just cut off by him, was the best proof.

However, this was, after all, a top-tier Body Tempering Stage armor. Ordinary weapons could not easily penetrate it.

For him, it was enough.

As the thunder light exploded again, Shen Xing directly caught up with Xie Yunyu’s opponent. With one slash, another legless loser was added to the battlefield.

This kind of instant kill-like terrifying strength, and this ruthlessness, directly made the remaining two lose all their fighting spirit.

“Block them! If you don’t want to die, block them for me!” The two shouted heart-wrenchingly, and many more armored martial artists rushed up from behind.

However, the strength of these people was even more unbearable.

At most, they were only at the Bone Tempering Stage. The armor models were also very trashy, and some were even broken versions, unable to even achieve full coverage.

Clearly, these were martial artists controlled by nano-scale human control devices.

“Trying to escape?” Shen Xing could easily see through their intentions.

In the face of his powerful strength, a direct battle was simply courting death. However, if they could escape, escape to other more powerful armed forces, they could still linger for a while.

As long as they were not caught by the Disciplinary Department by graduation, that would be their victory.

This was the only way out for this group of armed thugs. Many of them were close to graduation, which was why they dared to be so crazy.

An Yiyi and Nangong Jinyi were about to chase after them, but fierce firepower came from the front. Seven or eight different types of PODs, plus a dozen or so fully automated ground combat units, swarmed forward, blocking the path of the group and firing wildly!

“Most of their mobile firepower is gathered here.” Shen Xing quickly gave instructions, “Senior Sister Yunyu, use your shield at the front. You two stay on the sides. I’ll control the direction in the middle. Concentrate the armor’s propulsion power and charge straight through.”

“A cone-shaped propulsion formation?” An Yiyi reacted immediately.

That’s right. This was one of the standard tactical propulsion formations for a four-person armored team. Essentially, it was a cone shape with one in front and three behind. However, it could concentrate the propulsion power of the four armors to a certain extent. With one person as the core, it could maintain a certain degree of flexibility while enhancing propulsion, reducing air resistance and the defensive area, making it easier to break through.

Although the other two had not learned about this formation, it was simple and easy to understand, and they immediately followed suit.

Shen Xing placed his hand on the back of Xie Yunyu’s armor. The six propulsion cannons behind him were all facing backward, with full power. The other three were the same. Almost in an instant, they pushed the impact force to the extreme, and like a battering ram, they smashed through all the blocking combat units.

Before their own combat PODs could come to support, they had already rushed out of the concentrated fire zone, closing the distance to the two who had escaped.

“It really worked.” Xie Yunyu looked surprised, “How do you know about this tactical formation?”

“Just cramming at the last minute.” Shen Xing said while chasing, “The other side will definitely run if they can’t win. It would be difficult to chase if we were entangled by firepower. So I looked up common breakthrough and pursuit methods. This is the simplest.”

Before a battle, he first wanted a tactic. This had already become his habit.

However, that was all he could think of.

Fortunately, it worked.

But just as they were about to catch up with the two in front, Nangong Jinyi suddenly said, “Another armor is escaping from the east side. It might be the Spider King.”

The four enemies before were naturally not the boss of this armed force.

The boss was named Shi Ming, codenamed “Spider King.” The information recorded that his strength was at the Late Marrow Tempering Stage, making him the most difficult opponent in Spiderweb.

“Send me the tracking information. I’ll go chase him alone!” Shen Xing quickly made a decision and broke away first, “You guys take care of these two, then come to support.”

“Understood!” An Yiyi was the first to respond.

Nangong Jinyi was obviously a little worried, but seeing that Shen Xing had already left, she bit her lip. The external heavy gun on her back instantly flipped to the front.

Boom—!

Shen Xing’s last glimpse before leaving was of a ballistic trajectory emitting a cold chill.

“That’s…” He took a slight breath, “A firearm-type Martial Path Intent?”

That’s right. That chill was clearly the manifestation of a Martial Path Intent!

Since there were saber techniques and sword techniques, then in this era, there would naturally be firearm-type Martial Path Intents. However, there were very few of them, and they were extremely difficult to deeply comprehend. Even with Shen Xing’s talent, he believed that he lacked compatibility and did not have the aptitude for this.

But he didn’t expect that Nangong Jinyi would hide such a killing move?

“As expected, you can’t underestimate others.” Shen Xing was quite amazed.

The Human Federation had a huge population. Just on the Academy Home Planet alone, who knew how many prodigies were hidden!

At this moment, the tracking information had already been transmitted.

◈◈◈

It came from the reconnaissance device on that flying vehicle in the sky.

This thing was obviously a later-modified military-grade version.

Even in this extremely complex situation, it still firmly locked onto the armor suspected to be the Spider King.

The other side did not seem to realize that he had been discovered and locked on. He dared not move too much and was weaving left and right through the complex terrain. This gave Shen Xing the convenience of pursuit. His Phantom Body Movement Technique was fully activated, and like a ghost, he was constantly flashing through the buildings.

Under the full pursuit, his speed was getting faster and faster.

His eyes were only on the target.

Until a certain moment, he rushed to the entrance of a sewer passage first. With a bang, he directly kicked the heavy iron door blocking the way toward the other side.

Shi Ming had not expected that someone would be blocking his path, but his reaction was equally quick. He immediately raised his saber and split the iron door open.

However, behind the iron door, a blade flashing with thunder light and carrying the sound of thunder was already attacking!

Shred!

A sharp tearing sound rang out. Shi Ming’s armor was forcibly cut open by Shen Xing!

Fresh blood gushed out, but it was quickly stopped by the armor’s built-in healing system.

“He actually dodged it?” Shen Xing’s eyebrows furrowed slightly.

His slash was aimed directly at the waist, and he had even prepared an emergency life support device to save the other side’s life.

As long as he was alive, no matter how severe the injuries were, it was fine.

But he did not expect that, at that moment, the other side would rely on some kind of body movement technique to barely dodge it.

“You’re really terrifying. As expected of the Major Completion Stage Thunder Flash.” Shi Ming coughed twice. Clearly, he had also been paying attention to the battlefield just now and recognized the armor in front of him.

Probably after seeing that all four of his subordinates were no match, he decided to escape.

However, listening to the rhythm of his breathing, Shen Xing’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter.

“You’re not at the Marrow Tempering Stage. You’re at the Organ Tempering Stage! And that was a top-grade body movement technique just now.”

That’s right. Neither the Organ Tempering Stage nor the top-grade body movement technique were in the data.

“It’s just that I’ve just entered the threshold of top-grade. For a rich kid like you, it shouldn’t be worth mentioning, right?” Shi Ming took a breath, gripped the long saber in his hand, and threw away the box he was carrying in his other hand far away, “Listening to what you just said, you’re still just a freshman? You’re really amazing. The progress of a prodigy like you is really incomparable to ordinary people like us. But have you ever thought about how many people like you there are on the entire Academy Home Planet, and how many are like me?”

“What nonsense are you talking about?” Shen Xing narrowed his eyes.

He could feel the pressure coming from the other side.

But this, on the contrary, made him gradually excited.

He had just entered the Organ Tempering Stage, had a top-grade body movement technique, and seemed to be at the Minor Completion level. For him, this was at a level that was challenging but not to the point where he could not win.

This was the best sparring partner!

Moreover, the box probably contained the nano-scale human control device that he wanted.

Shen Xing took a deep breath. The Dragon Elephant Body had already begun to operate quietly. A primal, desolate aura burst out from his body, and the long saber in his hand was flashing with thunder light.

“Don’t you understand?” Shi Ming suddenly raised his long saber. The expression under his armor became ferocious, “On the Academy Home Planet, I represent the majority! You rich people, you should feel the anger of the majority!”

He actually took the lead in charging toward Shen Xing!

“Kill!”

Shen Xing shouted in a low voice, too lazy to talk nonsense. The armor’s drive power was fully activated, and his whole body was like a whirlwind, like a real god of death descending, with a b*oody aura, rushing toward Shi Ming.

Crack!

The thunder light flashed on the blade, and in an instant, it slashed onto the long saber that Shi Ming was using to block in front of his chest. The other side’s saber was obviously also a high-quality alloy saber. Its hardness even exceeded that of the armor. At this moment, it had only scattered sparks after receiving Shen Xing’s Major Completion Stage Thunder Flash slash and was not directly torn apart.

But even so, under the blessing of the Dragon Elephant Body and top-tier armor, the terrifying power, like a mountain collapsing and the sea splitting, still made Shi Ming’s face change drastically.

Shen Xing’s methods were all top-tier. His slight advantage in strength at the Organ Tempering Stage could not block it!

But when his whole body was sent flying, a whistling sound of wind suddenly came from behind Shi Ming. His figure in mid-air was like a willow catkin in a storm, swaying left and right, actually completely unloading the force. Moreover, it was erratic and difficult to predict.

Clearly, this was the body movement technique that the other side had mastered!
