"Screw you!"

When people are utterly speechless, they often give a smile, and then, casually curse.

In the final moment, Lu Feng hoisted Chen Yubo, abruptly turned, and leaped towards the rubble they had just crawled out from, diving into the car's basket. After placing Chen Yubo in front of his chest, he lifted the case in his hand.

The lever twisted.

Boom!

Amidst the sound of the case shattering, a silver light suddenly spread and permeated.

The wriggling mercury burst forth as if it were alive, covering them instantly. It grew along the car frame, layering upon layer of coverage, revealing a crystal-like hard luster from within.

——Blessing: [Gold Stone Quality] and [Supreme Resilience]!

The fortress rose from the ground.

And then, the flames of missile explosions overturned everything.

Within the envelopment of mercury's blockade, Lu Feng only heard a series of crackling sounds, the sound of the alchemy creations on Chen Yubo's body activating.

It was as if being thrown into a red-hot iron house in an instant, even breathing became torture under the scorching air.

Gunfire continuously echoed through the intercom.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack!"

"Two vehicles, seven people got off! Armed, damn! Blackskin's down, all units attention——high-threat targets, two jackals, one tiger!"

The voice of 'Squinty' came over the channel: "All units maintain fire, prepare to assist Boss's retreat!"

Roaring sounds continued one after another.

Beneath the collapsing fortress, mercury contracted, instantly enveloping Lu Feng, forming the exoskeleton structure carefully designed by Ji Jue, covering his face.

When Lu Feng crawled out from the rubble carrying Chen Yubo, he saw those masked figures jumping off the vehicles, holding various weapons, skillfully coordinating and advancing.

The leading three were surrounded by a familiar blood-colored glow.

Jackals and Tigers!

The foremost figure, upon noticing Lu Feng, raised his hand. Even before making a move, Lu Feng's eyelids twitched wildly, as if falling into an ice cave.

At that crucial moment, he chose to trust his instincts.

Clutching Chen Yubo, he abandoned the cover and dashed out wildly.

Under the acceleration of the armor, his movements were as swift as a meteor, yet still slow, too slow, where's the thrusting backpack? Vector nozzles? Auxiliary engine pressurization... where's the auto-lock system?

Old Second is still too conservative after all.

Realizing the moment was different from the past, Lu Feng couldn't help but feel both sad and angry, suddenly missing the trashy Starfire model he used to disdain.

He rolled and rushed into the chaotic courtyard of Yulou Trade.

Before landing, he heard a loud noise behind him, a crimson spear had already pierced through the cover, exploding, obliterating everything. And the three robust Chosen Ones did not hesitate, withstanding the crisscross fire around them, and pursued fiercely.

These bastards are here to annihilate us!

Not planning to let any living soul leave here...

Inside the city, there's still a need to follow rules, but outside in this lawless area, it's a no-holds-barred, life-and-death hunting ground!

He instinctively pulled out his phone, intending to contact Ji Jue, only to find there's absolutely no damn signal.

In the distance, the signal tower was wreathed in thick smoke, collapsing.

The moment they acted, all signals were cut off. But from Chen Yubo's arms, a gradually increasing ringtone resonated, it was the satellite communication of Boundaryless Communication.

An elderly voice came through the receiver, it was Old Lin: "Mr. Lu, kindly evacuate with Yubo first, I'll be there in a minute."

"A minute?"

Lu Feng looked back at those rapidly advancing figures and felt a shiver down his spine: "I'm afraid that's a bit iffy!"

"Also, Mr. Ji asked me to convey a message to you."

Old Lin said, "Get down."

So, at that moment, Lu Feng shouted without second thought.

"Everyone get down!!!"

Boom!!!

The sound of tearing iron echoed, and behind the second-floor office building of Yulou Trade, one container after another, filled with tricycles, exploded with a thunderous roar.

The sound of steel grinding was endless, and countless sparks flew and burst. From the dusty storage cabinets within those containers emerged giant car-sized mechanical spiders. They stretched their bodies, revealing their faces, as the crimson indicator lights flickered.

The Guardian Workshop Devices, a combination of Mutated Alchemy and Fluid Alchemy, sped forward at this moment, breaking through all obstacles, charging towards the assailants.

Extermination mode, activated!

And before that, what first descended from the sky was one beam of destructive light after another!

That was...

"Oh shit, a missile?"

Squinty, observing from above, paused for a moment, feeling chills down his spine.

In the outskirts of Cliff City, Coastal Automobile Factory, the roof of the Sixth Workshop gently opened, and from beneath the launch module burst a fierce light. In an instant, dozens of missiles howled out.

Ji Jue stared expressionlessly at the ascending flame light, "Continue."

Thus, another launch began.

Rockets, concealing blades, soared into the sky, spewing fierce flames. Throughout their autonomous flight, they continuously shed and broke apart their bodies, secondary and tertiary propulsion accelerating.

Breaking the sound barrier!

Within just half a minute, they crossed over a thousand kilometers, transforming into streaks of metal light so swift they were unseen.

The substandard constructs Ji Jue used for practice, from the Xiang Sword Theory, violently trembled, broke free from their final restraints, and under the blessing of Mechanical Descent, unfurled like birds spreading their wings, stirring up waves of air, leaving wailing and thunderous noise in their wake, descending from the sky.

In an instant, the first group in the forefront had no bones left.

Without any warning, as if explosions occurred out of thin air.

Only the sound of a Sword Sound flashed and passed, and an incalculable number of iron fragments dispersed, sketching intricate cracks in the air.

Immediately following, as the remaining two retreated, the iron light spread its wings, suddenly whirled, and crisscrossing slashes, just a slight delay, and yet another blood mist erupted, leaving no bones!

In an instant, the jackals vanished.

Only one tiger and leopard remained, fleeing in despair.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Horrifying screams rang out, blades imbued with Mad Slaughter Poison pierced through flesh and soul, countless blades penetrated, and blood spurted forth.

The once arrogant group of Chosen Ones had now become porcupines, and then a large amount of mutant tissue and Blood Stabs emerged from their bodies.

Mercury flowed, sealing the area, preserving specimens.

As Old Lin rushed in with all his might, all he saw was the mechanical spiders mercilessly hunting the intruders amidst the devastation, and in the center, a lifelike statue.

On their faces, despair was written.

Cliff City, Northern Mountain District, Boyue Road.

Now it was Continental Auto Repair, the official repair shop designated by Coastal Automobile, bustling with activity. After renting the adjacent storefront, Lu Ma had hired a few more workers, busy day and night, her voice hoarse from shouting, yet the smile on her face was unstoppable.

In the blink of an eye, all her children had become successful.

Xiao Ji's automobile factory was thriving, and the big dog lounging around at home no longer impeded his mother, naturally elevating her mood.

Turning around, she saw a familiar figure carrying many packages walking in.

"Ah Ling, back from school?"

She raised her hand to wipe the grease from her face, "What did you buy?"

"Definitely not cauliflower! No cauliflower!" Lu Ling sang, shaking the bag, "Mom, let me tell you, today was super thrilling on the road. I was cycling just fine and nearly got hit by a car, you know."

"Are you alright?"

"Of course, yes. Now the streets and alleys are full of Brother Feng's spicy fish head, running around everywhere, even trucks are running around." Lu Ling shook her head, unable to contain her laughter, "That backwards-driving crappy car didn't hit me—it got plowed into the green belt by a semi-truck instead!"

"Don't ride the little e-scooter anymore. Xiao Ji brought over a new model called 'Cucumber' yesterday, meant for your school commute. The key is on the counter... Go collect the money first, then check Little's homework. Later, I'll fry some more dishes to calm the nerves."

"Yay!"

Cheerful voices chimed in, mixed with Little's complaints and protests.

In the alley behind the auto repair shop, the sounds were clearly audible.

On the blue brick with blood spreading, a boy with a face as beautiful as a girl's listened to the shop's sounds and smiled, radiant as sunlight, glancing at the few feebly struggling figures on the ground, he picked up the phone.

"Ji Jue, it's all settled," he asked, "Do you need to keep any alive?"

The voice on the other end of the phone sounded indifferent, "We probably can't get anything out of them, right?"

"Alright then."

Little An snapped his fingers, instantly taking away the last breaths of terror.

"Thank you, Little An."

"No problem." Little An smiled, "Ji Jue, keep it up!"

"Alright."

The call ended.

Little An's smile faded, he turned around, waved at the end of the alley, and immediately people from Desert Market gathered around.

"Clean it up, wash it off, Ji Jue doesn't want to scare people."

"Rest assured, one hundred percent." The corpse collector grinned, directing the subordinates to skillfully pull out shovels and plastic bags, cleaning up the items on the ground swiftly and thoroughly. Next, someone pulled out a high-pressure water gun.

When Lu Ling came out with a trash bag, only damp spots remained on the ground, leaving it empty.

.

.

Coastal Automobile Factory.

Continuous rain drizzled down, the storm persisted.

In the monitoring room, Ji Jue watched the screen gathering surveillance, the vehicle parked behind the factory before the chemical plant explosion, and several figures climbing over walls and hurriedly leaving.

The vehicle sped away.

"Keep the surveillance, find out where they went and where they came from."

Ji Jue asked, "Where's Yin Chaoyang?"

"Two hours ago, he sent his double to Cliff City Airport, but he himself disguised using an alchemy equipment, changed his identity, and boarded a cruise ship to the eastern Thousand Islands, leaving Cliff City ten minutes ago.

Although the surveillance can be maintained, I'm afraid once he leaves Federation waters, he'll switch transport."

"Good, I thought he'd just use Star Core Association's teleportation." Ji Jue picked up the phone, "Brother Feng, you may not be able to show yourself for a while, I'll have someone pretend to be gravely injured and sent to the hospital, but now, I need your help with something."

"Sure thing." After hearing what happened to his family from Ji Jue, Lu Feng said without hesitation, "Do you want them dead or alive?"

"Whatever you like," Ji Jue said.

So, amidst the rubble on the other end of the phone, Lu Feng looked down, contemplating the scarred handgun in his hand, grinning silently:

"Then I really like it."

.

.

Half an hour later, Ji Jue received a message from Tong Shan, standing frozen on the spot.

He didn't even know whether it was good or bad...

——Xu Chaoxian suffered food poisoning, urgently hospitalized, in critical condition.
