Chapter 1019: Landform God

"Dr. Blackdin, the God of Topography requests your presence."

Dr. Blackdin disdainfully glanced at the legion soldiers before him. He scoffed, "You're too tall; you're blocking my view. Apologies, but you may disappear now."

The moment he finished speaking, Dr. Blackdin fired a shot at one of his supposed allies. In the next instant, the soldier melted into thin air, leaving not even a single hair behind.

The terrifying power of the weapon utterly petrified the accompanying legionnaires. One by one, they quickly knelt, shouting, "Long live Dr. Blackdin!" as they repeatedly kowtowed to the three individuals.

"Hahaha, what a bunch of useless trash! Disappear from my master's sight immediately, or I'll blow you away with a single shot!"

The little girl's words were equally arrogant, but she didn't actually kill the legionnaires. She simply enjoyed watching them kneel before her, trembling with fear.

"Master, the God of Topography rarely asks us to personally intervene. It seems he's truly encountered a formidable opponent this time," the sword dancer standing nearby spoke with solemnity.

"We've been cooped up in the lab for a long time. This time, I wanted to bring you two out to stretch your legs and test the power of our new products. If there are any shortcomings, we'll still have time for improvements later."

"So, should we greet the God of Topography first?" Dr. Blackdin sneered. "There's no need to go directly to the front lines!"

Meanwhile, Xu Yang and his team continued deeper into the island. They encountered no obstacles along the way until they crossed a jungle area and arrived at a relatively desolate rock pile, where a new danger emerged.

Xu Yang suddenly stopped, his eyes scanning the chaotic rock pile with a cold gaze. His teammates, evidently, had not yet perceived the impending danger.

"What's wrong, boss? Did you spot a new opponent?" Xu Yang chuckled and shook his head. "I just caught a familiar scent. This aura, it's like a chicken carcass smell, something I encountered before when dealing with those 'pig' guys."

Hearing Xu Yang's words, everyone around him looked baffled. Only Ling Yao understood Xu Yang's meaning, as she was the one who had truly faced those mecha warriors.

Boom!

Without warning, countless bolts of thunder struck from the sky, unleashing unimaginably terrifying power in the center of the battlefield. A mere volley of missiles scorched the ground around Xu Yang and his companions, leaving only their immediate central area untouched—clearly a demonstration of power.

"Oh my god! If I'd taken one more step, I might have lost my foot!" Gugras trembled violently with fright, nervously retracting his right leg which he had just been about to move forward, but was ultimately a step too late.

Cold sweat drenched his clothes. At the same moment, maniacal laughter echoed from behind the rock pile.

Three massive mechs appeared in the sight of the Glory Squad members, revealing Dr. Blackdin and his two disciples. Each mech was far more advanced than any previously developed equipment.

This clearly indicated that the technological civilization of the Western Continent was far more advanced than that of other major regions, at least judging by the sophisticated equipment used by Dr. Blackdin and his two disciples.

"Welcome to reality. Take a good look at this pristine land beneath your feet, for this is where your bones will be buried."

Dr. Blackdin's tone was forceful and cold, yet it only provoked looks of disdain from Xu Yang's team.

"Hey shorty, without that mech, I doubt you'd even reach my knees. You dare to act so smug in front of your Grandfather Li? Aren't you afraid of biting off your tongue?"

Lister couldn't help but mock the opponent with a look of contempt, taking slow drags from the cigar in his mouth.

"Hahaha, Master, they're making fun of your height! That's hilarious!" The little girl beside him burst into laughter, truly showing no mercy to her own master.

Dr. Blackdin put on a pained, feigned expression of anger, then adjusted his mech's targeting system. "I will blast all of you into oblivion within the next three seconds."

Boom!

An incredibly violent sound erupted. This time, the airborne missiles launched were significantly larger than before, and they were unequivocally locked onto the small area where Xu Yang and his companions were concentrated.

"Heh, do you think you can do whatever you want just because you can control a few projectiles?"

Ling Yao scoffed and suddenly unleashed an incredibly brilliant and sharp sword energy from thin air. The moment this sword energy appeared, a powerful ice elemental aura erupted, instantly freezing the airborne missile in mid-air, preventing it from exploding.

"Oh, this little girl has some tricks. I wonder if you can stop *my* projectiles?"

The little girl blew a large bubble, then aimed at Ling Yao's position and pulled the trigger. In the next instant, several airborne missiles, glowing with burning flames, rapidly descended, clearly targeting Ling Yao herself.

Evidently, these projectiles were specifically designed to counter ice-elemental powers.

From Xu Yang's observation, these missiles were beyond Ling Yao's ability to perfectly resolve. Therefore, he acted without hesitation, stepping into the air. With his incredibly swift movement technique, he managed to maintain a relatively parallel and stationary position relative to the flaming missiles in an extremely short time, then suddenly reached out and caught them in his hands.

The little girl was so startled that her bubblegum fell to the ground. She stared wide-eyed, continuously observing him.

"Oh my god, Master, am I seeing things? This guy actually caught my projectiles barehanded in mid-air! How is that possible? Is he even human with that speed?"

Dr. Blackdin, equally astonished, took off his glasses. "I think I saw things just now too. Nana, did you see clearly?"

The swordswoman, still maintaining her aloof expression, snorted. "His speed is simply much faster than your projectiles. Why are you trying to shift blame? Let me handle this!"

The swordswoman, named Nana, suddenly soared into the air, breaking free from the mech's confines beneath her. She transformed into a zigzagging streak of cold light, diving towards Xu Yang's position.

"My heavens, what speed! This woman is also a sword cultivator!"

Before Xu Yang could react, Vortex Goro, unable to suppress his desire to conquer opponents, unhesitatingly drew his sharp treasured blade. Just as Nana was about to reach Xu Yang, he powerfully intervened, blocking her path.

"He is our leader. Your current status is not enough to fight him. You will only earn that right by defeating me!"

Nana had originally disregarded everyone except Xu Yang, but when she truly clashed with Vortex Goro, she quickly realized that this individual was far more terrifying than she had imagined. His deep eyes seemed to hold the gaze of an emotionless killing machine.
