Chapter 229: The Chaotic Battle Of Mu City

In the evening, the sky was adorned with a few sparse clouds that partly obscured the moon and stars, allowing their light to filter down into the city. Wang Xuan listened with growing irritation as a mechanical being repeated the words of someone who seemed to regard himself as superior, almost god-like. "At this hour of the night, he acts so high and mighty, as if he's a god looking down on me. Who does he think he is? Why would I just leave the city because he says so?"

Wang Xuan felt a deep-seated antipathy. The way the mechanical being conveyed the message, it reeked of arrogance. Did the Sun family really believe they had unified Xinxing and could now command those with extraordinary abilities?

He had clashed with the Sun family before, not shying away from conflict. And now, they spoke of 'settling accounts', offering him a chance as if they controlled everything, unchallenged in Xinxing?

Wang Xuan had intended to leave the city for a final showdown with the Sun family. But their dismissive attitude changed his mind. Were they regarding him as a subordinate, expecting him to heed their summons like a loyal servant? He was determined to face them, but not on their terms. Following the mechanical being would be demeaning.

"Let him wait. I'm not free to entertain him now!" Wang Xuan declared, turning on his heel to return to his hotel room.

In Jingyue City, where he stayed, mechanical beings were commonplace, outwardly resembling ordinary people but concealing steel skeletons within. They were strategically placed around his hotel.

Wang Xuan calculated the time, guessing that the decisive battle in Mu City must have begun. He wondered about Old Chen's situation. "Zhong Cheng, you should be able to see the battle. Stream it to me; I want to know Old Chen's condition," he requested, contacting the Zhong siblings for real-time updates on Chen Yongjie's condition in the battle outside Mu City.

"Okay, wait a moment. It's already started. My palms are sweaty from the tension, the atmosphere is so oppressive. The Sun family indeed has some real experts, a perfect blend of science and martial prowess!" Zhong Cheng replied immediately, sending Wang Xuan a link to a secret network where the battle was being streamed. This was a private viewing, not for the general public.

Wang Xuan quickly projected the stream, and a three-dimensional audiovisual representation of the battle outside Mu City sprang to life in his room. The battle had indeed commenced with a resounding boom!

A dazzling energy beam shot through the air, strikingly bright as if it hit Wang Xuan's face directly. The experience was intense, creating an atmosphere of terror and oppression.

The ground exploded, sending hundreds, even thousands of pounds of earth and stone flying into the air, creating a cloud of dust and debris. Groups of mechanical beings were launching attacks, their energy beams crisscrossing in a dense web.

Old Chen, like a streak of light, maneuvered across the open ground outside Mu City. He anticipated the attacks, continuously dodging and advancing towards a man clad in silver armor. Beams of light shot from the man's shoulders, indicating he was equipped with cutting-edge high-energy weapons. The beams flew out at high speed, targeting Old Chen. In his hand, he held a broadsword, almost as tall as a person, his gaze fixed indifferently on Chen Yongjie.

Old Chen was in a dire state, blood staining his clothes. Despite his formidable mental domain, rivaling the ancient sages at this level, the dense barrage of superweapon beams was overwhelming. Some grazed him, causing partial tearing of his flesh and splattering blood.

His body radiated with the brilliance of a golden body, making him appear like an enraged Buddha in the night. His short hair stood on end as he roared lowly, the trembling earth echoing his fury.

The scene shifted to Guan Lin, standing atop a high-rise building on the outskirts of Mu City, engaged in a heated argument with representatives of various financial conglomerates.

"This isn't fair. The agreement was a fair duel between Chen Yongjie and the Sun family. Why, as soon as he left the city, did so many mechanical beings suddenly appear to hunt him down?!" Guan Lin was furious and deeply worried, fearing that Old Chen might be suddenly obliterated.

One or two mechanical beings might be manageable for Old Chen with his extraordinary abilities, but now, a whole group had appeared. And on the horizon, a dense forest of steel loomed - an army of mechanical beings ready to advance and annihilate Old Chen.Ñøv€l--ß1n hosted the premiere release of this chapter.

Who could withstand such an onslaught? If a mechanical legion unleashed its might, sweeping across with high-energy beams, it was beyond the capacity of someone who had just stepped into the realm of the extraordinary to confront.

"It's already quite fair. As superhumans, slowly declining and being rejected by the times, this is the choice of history. We're only using a fraction of this era's power. If we didn't hold back and deployed spaceships, warships, and conducted a carpet saturation attack, would Chen Yongjie still be alive? He'd be reduced to dust."

A middle-aged man from the Sun family spoke up, standing atop a skyscraper, watching the scene unfold, directly confronting Guan Lin. "It was your own definition of a fair duel. If that's the case, Chen Yongjie could have just stayed in the city, hunting you down one by one. Now, you're breaking the agreement and acting in bad faith!"

Guan Lin retorted sharply. Bathed in moonlight, she appeared to be in her thirties, beautiful and imposing. Once, Old Chen had ventured into forbidden lands to retrieve a rare herb for her, preserving her youth.

Boom!

Outside Mu City, Old Chen slashed through mechanical beings, moving as if flying, crossing great distances. Each time he touched the ground, he cracked it open, propelling himself over a hundred meters away.

"Chen Yongjie, die!"

At that moment, the man in silver armor, wielding a broadsword, violently stabbed his sword into the ground and took off a large bow from his back. He had been standing still, waiting for the perfect range.

Holding a pitch-black bow, he nocked a silver arrow, drew the bowstring taut, and released it with a thunderous sound. The entire sky lit up as if a comet had struck, its power immense and unstoppable.

Old Chen skimmed across the ground, swiftly dodging the arrow by moving over a hundred meters. The silver arrow was terrifying; the moment it flew past where Old Chen had been, it plowed a massive trench in the ground without even touching it directly!

The most alarming aspect was that the silver arrow, a treasure filled with dense runes and long soaked in potent X substance by the Sun family, turned around and flew back towards Old Chen. It was designed to lock onto its target, not resting until it drew blood.

The Sun family expert had three such arrows, combined with the black bow, creating a weapon of astonishing lethality.

Old Chen roared in anger, swinging his black longsword and striking the returning silver arrow. A blinding light erupted where the two forces collided.

With a thunderous roar, the earth exploded open, creating a deep pit nearly ten meters in diameter, plunging through the dark ground.

"Is he dead?!" Many from the Sun family watched anxiously.

"Old Chen, you can't die!" Zhou Yun, watching from Xinyue, trembled with nervousness.

"Chen Yongjie, can you survive this?" Ling Qiming, too, was engrossed in the battle, his spirit taut with tension, a feeling he hadn't experienced in many years.

Outside Mu City, with another roar, Chen Yongjie burst forth, his body covered in blood. The blast of such terrifying superhuman energy had not been light; his skin was torn and flesh burst open. But his spirit was unbroken, fueled by boundless killing intent. How could he let such a defeat pass unchallenged?

"My treasure, shattered..." The man in the distance paled as he saw his silver arrow destroyed by Chen Yongjie's black sword, causing the intense explosion of energy.

He was drawing his bow for the second arrow!

At this moment, Chen Yongjie's entire body shone brilliantly. His golden body, nearly at its limit, manifested a giant golden Buddha behind him, majestic and glaring furiously. On closer inspection, it was Chen Yongjie himself, signifying his Buddhist practice centered around his own immense self-belief and strength.

With a ferocious roar, the Buddha surged with golden light. Around Chen Yongjie, faint miraculous visions appeared, ephemeral but astounding.

Boom!

As the Buddha roared, the ground tore apart, rocks and dust shot towards the sky. Chen Yongjie wielded his black sword like a flying weapon, a streak of dark light tearing through the sky at incredible speed.

The man in silver armor, in disbelief, looked down and let out a piercing scream. He had been cut in half at the waist, his lower body falling to the ground!
