Chapter 1024: Absolute Killing Sword

Purple light continuously infused power into the Jade Bone Divine Sword. The sword, just as when Xu Yang wielded it himself, slashed through the air towards Dr. Black Ding. The moment this terrifying sword light shot forth, it completely stunned Dr. Black Ding. He instinctively forgot to flee immediately, simply watching as the powerful sword light, unleashed with overwhelming force, revealed itself.

"What? How is this possible? Even a mech can display the combat power of a cultivator! Am I dreaming?" Dr. Black Ding was utterly bewildered, witnessing a scene that overturned his understanding, especially in the field he was most proud of. This experience was a significant blow to Dr. Black Ding's spirit. He even began to question his entire life, realizing that after centuries of diligent work, he was merely a frog in a well within his own domain.

As his thoughts wavered, the doctor haphazardly controlled his mech to unleash various types of ammunition. However, Xu Yang's agile maneuvers allowed him to dodge them all. Then, the massive mech soared into the air, and under Xu Yang's precise control, it once again locked onto the main mech piloted by Dr. Black Ding.

"Little guy, you'd better take this seriously, or you won't be able to withstand the next attack."

*Ding-dong!* At that moment, Xu Yang finally pressed a newly revealed hidden button on his mech. In an instant, the mech's eyes glowed blood-red, and simultaneously, half the power of the purple spirit talisman was fully unleashed.

A powerful aura completely enveloped Xu Yang and the mech he piloted. The blood-red light expanded rapidly before their eyes. Without a doubt, the next strike was the strongest killing blow Xu Yang would unleash from his mech.

Blood Soul Aurora Slash, Kill!

Xu Yang raised his hand and let out a mighty roar. The colossal mech slowly lifted its arms, and the Jade Bone Divine Sword began frantically gathering all the surrounding crimson energy. The moment the energy accumulation was complete, Xu Yang used his mental power to control the mech, unleashing this terrifying, ultimate sword strike. In an instant, the Jade Bone Divine Sword completely lost its physical outline, becoming entirely enveloped by an incredibly dense, crimson light of power.

The next moment, the Jade Bone Divine Sword flew from his grasp and, before the eyes of all the Glory Squadron members, shattered the colossal mech in front of them.

Dr. Black Ding finally realized that his mech was utterly vulnerable before such immense power. All the painstaking and exhaustive research he had poured his life into over the years became meaningless the very moment Xu Yang's ultimate sword strike descended.

Fortunately, Dr. Black Ding was remarkably agile. He disengaged from his mech just before the ultimate strike landed, watching as a bystander as his own mech was torn to pieces.

"Hahahaha! I knew it! No matter the field, our boss has an unparalleled advantage! Little guy, even if you had a few more millennia, you still couldn't contend with our boss! Just give up resisting; you're not even qualified to be his opponent!"

Dr. Black Ding stood there, head bowed, panting heavily. Facing both mental and physical pressure, he had begun to question his existence.

Under Li Te's instruction, Guglas enthusiastically approached the small Dr. Black Ding, seemingly intending to teach him a lesson and let him experience true despair. After all, falling into the hands of the Glory Squadron meant the little guy would likely be stripped bare, if not worse.

However, just as Guglas was about to reach Dr. Black Ding, the little guy suddenly tossed aside his sunglasses. At the same time, his movement speed reached its limit, and he scattered hundreds of silver, nail-like objects before Guglas. Each nail gleamed with a crystalline light, uniformly and neatly dispersed in every direction around them.

"Damn it! What are these things? You little runt, you're in this situation and still trying to ambush me!" Guglas instinctively lifted his leg to continue forward, but the aloof and beautiful maid by his side immediately pulled him back by the ear.

"Do you want to die?! You can't just brute force your way through these. Without an exceptionally powerful physical body, anyone who steps in there will be instantly annihilated."

After all, the beautiful maid's knowledge surpassed Guglas's, so her words carried absolute authority.

Hearing the maid's explanation, the other members of the Glory Squadron also showed expressions of extreme shock and gasped. Meanwhile, Dr. Black Ding had long since fled after deploying these nail-like bombs, dashing deeper into the island.

"These nail-like bombs are also known as Hell! They are among the most powerful types of bombs, and Dr. Black Ding scattering hundreds of them at once was purely for survival."

"Such bombs have only one drawback: a long cooldown period. Once this period passes, they become completely inert, and it will be much easier to disarm them. However, if they are touched while active, the consequences are unimaginable; nearly half the island here could be blown to smithereens."

Hearing the beautiful maid's explanation, Xu Yang nodded repeatedly in agreement. "If that's the case, we don't need to rush forward. We'll wait for these bombs to cool down, and then we'll figure out a way to disarm them."

In truth, with Xu Yang's immense power, he could have easily ensured everyone's safe passage through the bomb cluster just by activating his Angelic Domain. However, while Xu Yang and his companions would have been unharmed, the bombs' explosion would have caused extensive further damage to the island, which was not Xu Yang's intention.

As for the little Dr. Black Ding, he was already at the end of his tether and could no longer pose any threat to the team. If he ran, he ran.

"Sigh, I suddenly miss that guy Long Kun. If he were here, with his Phoenix Power and the formidable physical strength from his Black Tortoise cultivation method, what would it matter if he endured such an explosive formation?"

"In the current team, although everyone exhibits their unique abilities and excels in their respective fields, we lack a powerful tank who can serve as a shield. And while my Angelic Domain can intervene on the battlefield with absolute invincibility, once the enemy infiltrates it, the Angelic Domain cannot distinguish between friend and foe. Ultimately, it's not as convenient as having a pure tank-type warrior."

Xu Yang muttered to himself, on one hand, longing to find an excellent tank-type warrior to act as the vanguard for the team, and on the other hand, increasingly missing his old comrades. Since entering Yingzhou Continent, Xu Yang hadn't seen his old friends in a long time, except for Ling Yao.
