Chapter 557 The Truth
"boom--!!"

"Boom--!!"

A deafening roar tore through the rock formations above the village, and a massive shadow, carrying rubble and dust, fell from the sky like a meteorite!

The sudden turn of events plunged the villagers, who were still immersed in the atmosphere of the ceremony, into extreme panic!

"Aaaaaah! The sky is falling!"

"Is...is Lord Face God angry?!"

Screams and cries rose and fell.

Some elderly villagers even knelt down on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly to the falling shadow, muttering incantations and begging for the forgiveness of the "Face God".

"Oops!"

Li Long's expression changed; these guys arrived far too quickly!
His and Zhang Qi's machines are still parked on the outskirts of the village. At this distance, there's simply no time to start them!
Facing these steel monsters with bare hands is practically a death sentence!
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several ferocious orc-like machines crashed heavily onto the open ground, kicking up clouds of dust.

Their single, red-glowing eyes swept across the crowd, finally locking onto Zhang Qi, who was standing at the very front.

The lead vehicle, slightly larger than the others, was painted with dark red patterns, and a rough, maniacal laugh echoed from its cockpit:

"Hahaha! It's like finding a needle in a haystack, only to have it come to me effortlessly!"

"I thought it was some tough opponent, but it turns out the machine isn't here!"

The orc captain's voice, delivered through a loudspeaker on his face, was extremely arrogant.

"Kid, I'll take your head without any hesitation!"

Before he finished speaking, the man with the dark red face suddenly raised the spiked club in his hand and smashed it down hard on Zhang Qi's head!
However, at that very moment!

Zhang has started!

His body sank slightly, then he exerted force and leaped upwards like an arrow released from a bow!

The movement was incredibly swift, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow at the last second!

"what?!"

The orc captain's pupils contracted in the cockpit.

Before he could react, Zhang Qi twisted his waist in mid-air and lashed out with his right leg like a whip, kicking the side of the falling metal rod with a sharp gust of wind!
"Crack——!"

A crisp snapping sound rang out!
That seemingly indestructible giant metal rod was actually kicked in two by Zhang Qi!
The broken metal rod slammed to the ground with its remaining force, kicking up a cloud of dust.

"..."

The orc captain in the cockpit had his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg, and his expression was completely frozen.

A human being...

Using the physical body...

A weapon that broke your face?!
Is this fucking a joke?!

He rubbed his eyes, wondering if he was hallucinating from traveling for too long.

Before he could recover from his shock, Zhang Qi's figure had already landed on top of the face of the car he was driving like a ghost!
"Boom!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Qi clenched his fist, and spiraling power surged within his body. Although he was not armed, his strength still far surpassed that of ordinary people!
One punch!
It slammed hard into the head armor of his face!
"boom--!!!"

A dull, loud bang rang out!
The dark red-faced, massive machine shuddered violently, then the light in its eyes dimmed rapidly, its enormous body swayed, and it fell straight backward!

"Boom——!"

The ground trembled.

silence.

Deathly silence.

The surrounding villagers, whether kneeling in prayer or fleeing in panic, all stopped what they were doing and stared in disbelief at the incredible scene before them.

What...what did they see?
That "Face God," whom they regarded as a deity who brought calamity and punishment...

actually……

He was actually knocked down by that messenger of the God of Faces with a single punch?!
This, how is this possible? !
"Quick! Get out of here! It's dangerous!"

Lu Xiu, standing at the edge of the crowd, was the first to react. His face was pale, but his eyes were unusually firm.

He grabbed Jimmy and Dali, who were stunned by the shock, and shouted loudly to the villagers who were still in a daze around them:

"Those who don't want to die, get out of here right now!"

However, his words were not finished yet.

“Da da da da da—!”

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!" The remaining orcs finally recovered from the shock of their companion being instantly killed.

They roared angrily, and the guns on their bodies opened fire instantly, raining down dense bullets and small energy shells on Zhang Qi!

"Be careful, Your Excellency!"

Some villagers gasped in shock.

Just as the deadly artillery fire was about to engulf Zhang Qi, and even affect the villagers not far behind him!
At this critical moment!
"boom--!"

An old face that had been standing quietly in a corner of the village and was worshipped like a deity suddenly moved!

It took a few strides and stood in front of the unarmed villagers!

“Bang bang bang bang—!”

A barrage of bullets and shells bombarded the back of that old-fashioned vehicle, sending up a series of dazzling sparks!

"It's...it's Lord Face God!"

"The God of Face has appeared! The God of Face is protecting us!"

The villagers, who were being protected behind him, were stunned at first when they saw this scene, and then they burst into thunderous cheers, their faces showing the joy of surviving a disaster and even more devout worship.

Lu Xiu was also stunned.

The face statue before them... wasn't it the "Face God" that their village had worshipped for generations?!
It...it can actually move?!
His mind was in turmoil, but this was not the time to delve into those matters.

"Quick! Everyone, follow me! Evacuate this way!"

He forced himself to calm down and continued to organize the villagers' evacuation.

On the other side, Zhang Qi faced a hail of bullets, yet his figure moved as elusively as a ghost.

None of those attacks, powerful enough to tear steel apart, managed to hit his body.

His footwork shifted, each dodge perfectly timed, as he charged rapidly toward the remaining orcs!
"court death!"

An orc-like creature roared and swung its massive mechanical claws toward Zhang Qi.

Without dodging or avoiding, Zhang Qi suddenly ducked just before being grabbed, narrowly slid under the mechanical arm!
Immediately afterwards, he threw a punch!
The target is the joint connecting the face and knee!
"Crack!"

The fragile joint shattered instantly!

That face immediately lost its balance, screaming as it fell to its knees.

Just the same thing!

Zhang Qi's figure moved across the battlefield, each move precise and deadly!
Joints! Hydraulic hoses! Energy lines!
These relatively weak points on the face were as fragile as paper under his attack!
In just a few seconds, the remaining Orc Faces lost their mobility one after another, collapsing to the ground in black smoke, and the Orc soldiers in the cockpits were shaken senseless.

After doing all this, Zhang Qi let out a soft breath and turned to walk towards the old-fashioned mask that had just shielded the villagers from the attack.

He went to the area below Yanmian's cockpit and reached out to pull.

"laugh--"

The cockpit door slowly opened.

The person sitting inside was actually the village's priest!

At this moment, his face was pale and his forehead was covered with sweat, clearly injured from the attack he had just suffered.

"This……"

Li Long, who had come closer, also frowned, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

Starting and driving a Face is no easy task.

Besides the necessary skills and physical fitness, the most important thing is the driver's own aura and mental strength.

Does this priest also possess such abilities?

The priest leaned halfway out of the cockpit, looked at Zhang Qi, and gave a bitter and weary smile. He sighed deeply.
"My Lord, Divine Envoy..."

"Please... please keep this secret for me."

“Our village…can no longer bear any more truth and turmoil.”

"Let me bear this sin, this deception, alone."

"What did you say?!"

"High Priest... what did you mean by what you just said?!"

However, just as the old priest finished speaking, a voice filled with shock and disbelief suddenly rang out.

It was Lu Xiu who returned to investigate after seeing the villagers off...
