Chapter 49: A Lone Warrior Breaches the City

"Monster!"

"It's a monster!"

Tang Xianggui trembled so hard his hands shook.

How could anyone possibly be immune to bullets!

Human technology couldn't even deal with New Humans, so why wasn't he afraid of it?

"Damn it! I've been an assassin my whole life, and this is the first time I've ever seen someone so defying of the heavens!"

"My sniper rifle couldn't even pierce his armor, and just the other day I blasted right through a truck!"

"With such terrifying firepower coverage, even a god wouldn't survive, so how can he be completely uninjured!"

Those ripples in the air, those dull thuds sounding like stones dropped into the sea—

They felt more like the tolling bells of a soul-reaping funeral knell!

A countdown to Jiangnan's death!

"Tang Xianggui! What the hell kind of thing have you provoked!"

"If the two of us, father and son, die here because of you, eight hundred Jiangnans wouldn't be enough to pay with their lives!"

The Yang father and son were panicking too. Their family certainly had powerful experts, but none of this terrifying magnitude!

This guy was already completely ignoring bullets!

"Hahahahaha!"

Suddenly, Tang Shirou, who had previously collapsed onto the ground, began to laugh as she shook her head.

"With Xiao-ge going to such lengths for me, I have no regrets even if I die."

Tang Xianggui was furious to the point of rage and raised his foot to kick Tang Shirou.

But he was stopped by Yang Kai: "Stop acting like a madman! Hurry up and send people to rescue us!"

Amidst his extreme panic, Tang Xianggui nodded rapidly.

He nervously made a hand gesture toward the rear, signaling the reinforcements who had been standing by all along.

Almost instantly, two strange men with pristine white wings flew swiftly onto the scene!

They looked like divine messengers stepped straight out of mythology, their dual wings beating fiercely against the wind.

A-grade [Swan Dream]!

"Hurry! Take us into the city right now!"

Tang Xianggui's voice was hoarse as he grabbed Tang Shirou forcefully, pulling her behind him without giving her any choice in the matter.

The four of them clung closely to the backs of the two winged men, fleeing rapidly in the direction of the city under their lead.

After putting some distance between themselves and the tower, Tang Xianggui let out a breath of relief and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Big cannons! Where the hell are my Italian cannons?!"

"Bring them all up and blast him to pieces!"

"I refuse to believe his body is truly indestructible!"

Immediately following his words, a muffled and earth-shaking mechanical grinding noise suddenly erupted from atop the previously silent city wall.

Several large artillery batteries, hidden within recesses in the wall, dramatically revealed themselves and were swiftly pushed into firing positions.

Those towering cannons looked like the gaping maws of giant beasts, their pitch-black barrels aimed squarely at Chen Xiao, pregnant with a power capable of destroying everything in its path!

This sudden turn of events instantly escalated the already tense situation!

The air grew as heavy as if it had frozen, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the artillery barrage to commence!

"Hum!"

"Hum!"

"Hum!"

"Boom, boom, boom—!"

Ranks of cannons erupted with billowing waves of black smoke!

Chen Xiao's fury had reached a nearly tangible state; he could no longer hold anything back!

SSSS-grade transformation talent!

[Dragon Transformation]!

The next instant, his body underwent a jaw-dropping metamorphosis.

This was a leap-type evolution!

Seemingly answering a call from the primeval era, indescribable waves of energy surged beneath his skin.

A mysterious power was reshaping his physical form.

In a split second, a blazing radiance erupted from his entire body, shining as intensely and fiercely as molten iron in a furnace.

His massive skeleton emitted thunderous roars, his muscles grew frantically at an incredible speed, and coarse, heavy scales progressively covered his skin!

His back bulged, his left arm transformed into a thick, immensely powerful forelimb, followed by a pair of razor-sharp claws.

He looked just like a humanoid Tyrannosaurus rex!

"Bang!"

A massive artillery shell hurtled toward him, but Chen Xiao moved with unimaginable speed!

He vanished from his spot in a flash, leaping high into the air as all his power converged into a single point, which he ruthlessly smashed downward!

"Boom!"

Before the two shells even touched the ground, Chen Xiao blasted them into oblivion with his bare hands!

This couldn't even be described as enduring artillery shells with one's body anymore!

This was beating artillery shells to a pulp!

"Holy cow... Am I seeing a god right now...?"

"That was a real, genuine artillery shell!"

"What on earth did he eat for his last meal?!"

"Why does he look kind of like..."

"A Tyrannosaurus rex?"

"But how could that be?! That's a prehistoric creature!"

The artillerymen completely broke down; the entity they were facing was simply not something mortal might could contend with!

His watery defense could shrug off the onslaught of all bullets!

His physical body could literally beat artillery shells to pieces with brute force!

Was this hellish thing even human?

Old Master Yang in the sky was shaking all over with terror:

"Tang Xianggui! Today... Today you must give me a flawless solution!"

"Otherwise, I will definitely make the entire city of Jiangnan pay with their blood!"

Yang Kai also gritted his teeth, anger burning relentlessly in his heart.

Just what kind of powerhouse had this Tang Shirou latched onto?!

If even heavy artillery couldn't kill him, what on earth could finish him off?!

Tang Shirou had already wiped away her tears; she had just witnessed a miracle!

She recalled a line from a movie:

"My true love is a supreme hero, and one day he will arrive amidst the gaze of the crowds, stepping on colorful auspicious clouds to marry me!"

At this very moment, how was this any different?

Tang Xianggui had reached the absolute peak of anger!

And the absolute peak of terror!

He even felt a twinge of regret—should he really not have severed the match between his granddaughter and this man?

Yet there was no medicine for regret in this world, and he had already missed the optimal window of opportunity!

Right now, he could only double down on his mistakes and continue using the political marriage as a life-saving measure!

Before long, Chen Xiao had already smashed through a dozen or so artillery shells with unimaginably fierce and swift movements!

The formidable energy granted by [Dragon Transformation] continuously supplied Chen Xiao with limitless power.

With a sudden halt in his momentum, he instantly leaped clear over that towering city wall!

His figure traced an elegant yet lethal arc through the air!

The onlookers, having just witnessed Chen Xiao's superhuman display, couldn't muster the slightest desire to resist, their will to fight instantly crumbling to dust.

They dropped their weapons and cast aside their armor!

Consumed by rage, these accomplices were destined to suffer Chen Xiao's retribution!

Wielding his long blade of water, Chen Xiao descended upon the world like a god of war.

With every swing, wherever he passed was a domain of unstoppable killing intent!

Cutting down all obstacles with grand, sweeping strokes, he rushed across the entire city wall like a torrent of destruction, completely wiping out the enemy forces on all sides!

At this moment, Chen Xiao was the god of Jiangnan!

He was routing the Tang family into utter disarray!

Regardless of how this battle turned out,

Chen Xiao's legendary name would undoubtedly echo far and wide!

He was a true god of slaughter!

A mortal body, breaking through a fortress all by himself!

A peerless, once-in-an-era spectacle!

"Tang Xianggui! Is that all the ability your damn family has? What the hell was the point of talking marriage then!"

"Damn it, are we father and son really going to be buried in this wasteland?"

The Yang father and son were despairing enough to die, bitterly regretting their decision to come to the Tang family.

They never imagined that on the very first day of their arrival, they would run into such a god of slaughter!

Tang Xianggui gritted his teeth: "The two of you, rest assured, today..."

"Chen Xiao will undoubtedly die!"

Seeing the absolute certainty in Tang Xianggui's expression, the Yang father and son drew in a sharp breath.

"You're going to..."

"That's right, this is the final trump card of the Tang family!"

Following that, Tang Xianggui took a deep breath and produced a walkie-talkie.

He said coldly: "Deploy the Orb of Death!"
