Chapter 58

Even though the City Guards were in armor, the bullets still dented the armor and injured the soldiers.

“Jiang Li!” Dugu Huangcheng looked up and his eyes were full of viciousness. He was extremely fast. His level-two energy formed very strong pressure.

Swish! He rushed towards Jiang Li.

“Stop him,” Jiang Li immediately yelled.

“Kill!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Forty Combat Meches and forty Cold Weapon Meches quickly sped towards Dugu Huangcheng after hearing Jiang Li’s order.

“Thunder Palm!”

Boom! Dugu Huangcheng smacked down again with electric bolts around his hand. He hit the chest of a Combat Mech in the front and his internal force exploded, denting the chest.

The Combat Mech flew backwards and knocked over a few Combat Meches behind. It reached 50% damage right away. One more attack and it would be broken.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The other Combat Meches and Cold Weapon Meches attacked Dugu Huangcheng.

“Protection Shield.” Buzz! Dugu Huangcheng’s body shook and an internal force shield enveloped him. His energy blocked the attacks and he quickly stepped back at the same time.

“That’s strange.” Dugu Huangcheng looked at the Combat Mech on the ground. He didn’t feel like he was hitting a human body, but more like hitting steel. He was too hard.

“Kill them!” Suddenly, Hao Tian led the City Guards onto the battlefield. Only two thousand official soldiers and eight hundred elite soldiers were left. During the battle with the army from Pingding City, a thousand official soldiers and two hundred elite soldiers were dead.

Since these people were the traitors of the Qian Dynasty, the soldiers from Pingding City worked off most of their hatred on them. They didn’t show any mercy. That was why Dugu Huangcheng suffered a huge loss.

As these soldiers entered.

The situation on the battlefield changed. The two thousand official soldiers helped the Monsters and Barbarians, and made Hong Tianqi, Long Chongzhen, Yu Shulan, Hua Tian and the army from Pingding City fall back.

“You bastards,” Hong Tianqi shouted.

“Kill them!” Hao Tian yelled coldly.

On the battlefield blood splashed everywhere and shadows of swords flashed around. The battle was extremely brutal.

The eight hundred elite soldiers started to help Dugu Huangcheng with Jiang Li’s one hundred perfected-stage meches. Luckily, the weapons of the Firearm Meches suppressed them.

By now Jiang Li had lost quite a lot of his meches. A hundred early-stage meches were destroyed and he recycled them for 500 energy points.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! As the meches killed the level-one Monsters and Barbarians, some grey light dots flew out of their dead bodies and went into Jiang Li’s head.

“Got a level-one Soul Tinder!”

…

“Got a level-one Soul Tinder!”

…

Swish!

Notices popped up.

“Dominator Panel.” Jiang Li opened the window and saw that there were fifteen Soul Tinders.

“Merge,” Jiang Li said.

Jiang Li merged the Soul Tinders again.

“Merging. 10, 9, 8, 7…”

“…”

Jiang Li waited patiently and looked at the battlefield.

Bang! A thunderous sound came. Dugu Huangcheng killed another perfected-stage Cold Weapon Mech and finally discovered the secret of the meches. He realized they weren’t humans.

“Are they puppets?” Dugu Huangcheng was surprised at first, but got excited afterwards. “They must be puppets. I was wondering how the Sirius Gang became so strong all of a sudden. Jiang Li must have gotten something from some ancestor.”

“Alright.” Dugu Huangcheng clenched his fists. “As long as I kill Jiang Li and take away what he’s got, I’ll be able to rise to the top. Being the City Lord is nothing. By then, I’ll establish my own empire, a real empire.”

“Thunder Steps.” Swish! Swish! Dugu Huangcheng moved swiftly and gathered his internal force on his legs. There were electric bolts around them. He avoided the attacks of the meches one after another and he tried to break through the meches with the help of the elite soldiers.

Swish!

“Merging successful!” A notice popped up. Tens seconds had finally passed.

“Okay.” Jiang Li was thrilled. “Not too bad. It succeeded the second time.”

“Upgrade Wang Gang.” Jiang Li immediately used the “level-two Soul Tinder” and “100 energy points” without hesitation and upgraded Wang Gang to a level-two mech.

Buzz! Wang Gang was right next to Jiang Li. The level-two Soul Tinder went into his body and beams of light shot out.

A few seconds later he was upgraded.

“Master.” Wang Gang saluted Jiang Li.

His appearance didn’t change, but the badge on his uniform changed from Sergeant to Staff Sergeant. At the same time, the gloves on Wang Gang’s hands became as thin as the wings of a cicada.

“Mech Type: Combat Mech”

“Level: Early stage of level two”

“No.: GD01 (Wang Gang)”

“Skill 1: Level-one ultimate combat art”

“Skill 2: Level-two elementary pulsation”

“Equipment: Level-two elementary combat gloves”

“Characteristics: …”

“Condition to Reach the Next Level: 2000 energy points”

Jiang Li opened the Wang Gang’s information window. After Wang Gang reached level two, his strength was improved and he now had a level-two skill. Also, his combat art remained the same.

“Jiang Li, go to hell.”

Bang! Dugu Huangcheng shouted as he broke through the meches with an excited look. He rushed to Jiang Li fiercely.

“Be careful.” Dong Lin shouted.

“Chief Jiang, watch out!” Everyone yelled.

“Kill him.” Jiang Li stood back calmly with a perfected-stage Cold Weapon Mech next to him. He gave Wang Gang an order as he saw Dugu Huangcheng charging at him.

“Combat Art.”

Boom! Wang Gang stood in front of Jiang Li and punched with both hands. There were many shadows of his fists and the strong energy weakened Dugu Huangcheng’s power.

Tap, tap, tap… Dugu Huangcheng backed away and looked at Jiang Li in shock.

“Level… Level two…”

Dumbfounded! Dugu Huangcheng was completely dumbfounded.

“Level two!” Dong Lin’s eyes also popped out.

Level two! That was really a level-two soldier!

“Gasp…”

“Jiang Li has a level-two soldier.”

“That’s unbelievable.”

“Isn’t he only at the peak stage of the elementary level? How would a level-two soldier work for him? Does he have some kind of superpower?”

“How is that possible?”

Dumbfounded! Everyone was stunned.

“Pulsation!”

Buzz! Wang Gang ignored everyone else. He continued executing Jiang Li’s order. He performed his level-two skill and attacked Dugu Huangcheng.

Everyone could see that when he punched, there was a violent pulsation. Since the frequency of the pulsation was too high, a destructive vibrating energy wave was formed.
