I am a hero of the former civilization.

He was furious. He was having a great time fighting, how could such a despicable flying device interfere?

Ryan said nothing, nor did he have time to say anything, because the weapon that could destroy a small town had already fallen far away. He watched as the earth bulged, the intense light blinded him, and the high-temperature shockwave hit him head-on.

Boom! ...

Electromagnetic field.

A small amount of Honkai energy gathered, and the authority formed an ionizing field, isolating the inside from the outside. Even so, it was still pushed several meters away by the shock wave.

All he could see was dust. The rock walls on both sides had collapsed and were being swept towards him by the shockwave, tearing everything except Ryan apart.

The Third Herrscher was able to withstand the 'Scepter of God' because of her authority, this unparalleled power of rules. In fact, the Fire Moths and other trump cards are still very powerful, basically possessing the power of small nuclear weapons.

"But it definitely won't kill you."

Ryan had no expectations whatsoever and turned to run away. This wasn't out of cowardice, but rather because he understood Qian Jie all too well.

The only way to make him obey is through discipline or by force, but he can't do either, so why waste time?

The 'Scepter of God' stirred up a sandstorm that conveniently concealed Ryan's body. He climbed the cliff and looked to his right, where he could detect the people of the poisonous cocoons through the dust.

With visual teleportation lock-on, even though no drones were taking off, the location of Qianjie could be precisely pinpointed.

Very professional, just the kind of professionalism Ryan wanted. However, the poisonous pupa didn't dare to get close yet and was searching for another person in the same way. Although a hundred meters away was within the direct killing range of the 'Scepter of God', it was always better to be cautious.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." When Ryan was making his plans, he had already taken into account the nature of these poisonous pupae. That's why he used a gentle force to shake off the Thousand Tribulations, and that's why they stared at each other from a hundred meters apart.

His greatest trump card is not strength, but the fact that the poisonous pupa knows nothing about him, has no idea about authority, and therefore cannot understand that under authority, he can withstand shockwaves from a hundred meters away.

It's time to moisturize.

Ryan didn't get carried away in the fight. He quickly turned his head to look to the other side, where he could hear the crisp sound of swords clashing and the girl's heavy breathing.

It seems Sakura is at a disadvantage.

With Honkai energy nearly depleted, Ryan crouched down and quickly strode through the dust, approaching silently. From a distance, he could hear a cold voice.

"Forget-me-not, this is your last chance, tell me who he is?"

"Didn't you use a space-based weapon to destroy it? Why don't you go and see for yourself?" Sakura held her sword in one hand, blood flowing from her wrist and dripping down the blade. Her helmet was also split open, but her face was still full of stubbornness.

"You're a talented person, you shouldn't be so stubborn. Before long, the title of King of Assassins will be yours."

"Heh, do you know a joke I heard recently?" Sakura's face darkened, and a disdainful smile appeared on her lips. "Someone told me that this title is so cringeworthy and no one cares about it."

Xiao's eyes twitched. He didn't know what kind of spell had been cast on this "Forget-Me-Not," as it wouldn't budge even now, so he didn't say anything more.

Monster, when I become a fusion warrior, I will also have this power. What's there to be arrogant about?

"Then don't blame me. I'll kill you first, and then quickly send your sister to reunite with her family."

The owl only knew how to eliminate the root of the problem. He charged forward, leaped lightly, and when he was about three meters away from Sakura, all the nozzles moved backward.

Zheng——

The blade grazed her chest, its sharpness even cutting through the exoskeleton breastplate and tearing her combat suit, leaving a bloody gash. Sakura's eyes widened slowly.

And so it happened again; he survived the injury, his dynamic vision was extraordinary.

No matter what she thought, Xiao returned even faster, raising his twin blades high and slashing down in a cross shape. His ferocious eyes stared directly at the blades, seeing them cut through the pink hair, touch the top of her head, and then, as if attracted by a magnet, glide past the sides of the girl's head.

Ok? ? ?

Xiao blinked, somewhat bewildered, completely unable to understand the situation before him. His instincts kicked in, and he quickly looked up.

The black-haired youth squeezed through, his hand slashing straight at the chest; even if the world were playing in slow motion, the speed was still incredibly fast.

dodge.

All the nozzles were pointing to the left at full speed, and he completed a lateral movement in a fraction of a second.

Huh?

Ryan raised an eyebrow, surprised that this person could dodge it. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a knife slashing towards his calf, but he faced the blade head-on.

Ding!

The thin blade snapped into several pieces. Xiao stared at the crackling electric field, somewhat incredulous. The alloy blade had been broken in two, and the person was already in front of him.

His dynamic vision, far exceeding that of ordinary people, allowed him to see the other person's face clearly, causing him to instinctively open his mouth wide.

"It's you......"

boom.

He forced his mouth shut with his palm, then lifted him up from the ground. Ryan grabbed his calf and slammed him to the ground like a brick.

The owl sank into the ground and bounced up again, its exoskeleton parts flying everywhere, its head buzzing, and its dynamic vision becoming a torment at this moment.

He watched helplessly as a huge foot stomped down, unable to avoid it, and could only watch as the sole of the shoe touched his chest, crushing him into the mud.

boom! !

Ryan stomped the man into the ground, causing the ground within dozens of meters to crack. Then he looked down at the bulging eyes.

"Ha, the king of assassins!"

Chapter 89 This man, I don't understand him!

A brief exchange, an instantaneous end; when skill is combined with overwhelming power, all that remains is the purest form of crushing defeat.

Sakura sat on the ground, still somewhat dazed. The leader of the poisonous pupa had been trampled to death with a single stomp, just like the previous Black Mask. And then there was Ryan's expression—

You seem unhappy?

"Hmm, this owl is a talent; he shouldn't have died at my hands." Ryan shook his head slightly, drawing his conclusion from his involvement in the Fusion Warrior program.

The strong are destined to be strong.

The more special the ability of a person, the higher the success rate of fusing with a high-level Honkai Beast. For example, if this Owl chooses a suitable Emperor-level Honkai Beast, he will not be weaker than the Thirteen Heroes and will most likely become a master of the technical school.

But the fact that he died so meaninglessly at his own hands is somewhat tiresome.

"These fools of the Fire Moth are wasting resources. How many heroes have fallen before they could grow up, and how many have fallen at the hands of their own people?"

Sakura couldn't understand what Yingjie was, but she knew that Xiao was stronger than her, and the question that had been lingering in her mind seemed to have an answer.

"So you want to end this internal strife, and that's why you spared my life?"

"Otherwise what? Do you think I'm that vulgar in your eyes because of my looks and figure?"

Sakura choked on her words, but knew that Ryan was telling the truth. This man had his own plans. Gender and appearance were not important at all. She was only able to survive because of some 'Yingjie' plan.

Ryan had answered his question. The dust still lingered. He stood there for a moment, then decided that it was about time.

"Let's go. I've already chosen the scapegoat. After Velvey finishes transmitting the data, I'll go and take care of all those bastards hiding behind the scenes, achieving the first step in purifying the Moth of Fire."

"That person isn't dead yet?"

"It's not that easy. He came right after you smelled it. It's very troublesome to get entangled with him."

Sakura watched as the man bent down, extended his right hand, hesitated for a moment, and then grasped it tightly. She didn't think about how someone could survive after consuming a space-based weapon; she was only thinking about his plan.

Can I participate in your purification process?

Once the incident is over, Rin will be safe as long as all the masterminds are eliminated. However, Sakura is clever; she knows that these are just a gentle breeze, and the real dark cloud is the collapse.

She didn't quite understand before, but seeing that even a powerful being like Ryan was racking his brains to deal with the Honkai, it seemed that this thing really was, as those sects said, the day of judgment for all mankind.

"What are your conditions?" Ryan picked her up, feeling the tight-fitting clothes against his skin, and slowly accelerated as he pressed down to the ground.

Sakura wasn't embarrassed by her posture at all and answered earnestly, "Protect the bell and live through this tragic era."

A strange feeling washed over Ryan. This promise should have been accepted by May, but of course, May did not keep it. In this era, no one could control their own destiny, let alone protect others.

"why me?"

Sakura glanced at the dust that had receded behind her and saw the poisonous pupa realize something was wrong and turn to give chase.

"Because you are strong enough and trustworthy enough."

Ryan could have retreated first, but he stayed to save her, and in her opinion, that reason was enough.

You have so much confidence in me?

Ryan glanced at the girl in his arms. They didn't actually have any personal relationship. Her purple eyes were sharp as knives. He understood Sakura's value. She was an incomparably sharp knife. After being taken by Mei, she did a lot of wicked things for her.

I originally wanted to speed things up and let Mei continue to lead the way, but now it seems I have to take the blame.

Somewhat ironic, somewhat exhausting, he thought of mingling with so many heroes and exhaled a carefree sigh.

Who cares, I'll do as much as I can.

"Okay, deal done."

The poisonous pupae never caught up; they couldn't keep up with the departing figure at all, and only found the leader's twisted corpse.

Some frantically notified reinforcements, while others rushed to rescue their own leader; they were in a state of panic.

boom!

One of the poisonous pupae exploded into a bloody mist on the spot, and the scattered iron fragments knocked down several people around it. They stiffly turned their heads and saw a naked man standing next to them.

His body was charred black and emitting white smoke. His left arm was twisted, as if it had been broken by something. He was seriously injured, and even the mask on his face began to crack and fall off. But for some reason, none of the poisonous pupae dared to look directly at that face.

The world fell into an eerie silence until Qianjie raised his hand and squeezed out a single word through gritted teeth.

"die!"

A continuous column of smoke bloomed in the distance, the gyroplane flew into the sky and was then brute-forced down, the last image left for the pilot was a kiss with the earth.

Hiss... Qianjie's anger level has exploded.

Ryan grinned, with five more corpses of poisonous pupae beside him, each with a knife wound on their neck.

Sakura walked down the street and confirmed that the small town was completely dead. First came the massacre of the poisonous pupae, then came the massacre of the poisonous pupae. This nameless town had really had a terrible run of bad luck.

"Is everything resolved?" Ryan turned his head and saw Sakura nod slightly, and he also showed a gentle smile.

The final stage is complete.

Even with the unexpected Qianjie, all the witnesses died, and he still never showed up. In fact, Qianjie was framed, and the Fire Moth would target him.

White hair, a masked man, and a bad temper—these characteristics don't match Ryan at all.

"How could I, a person of such gentle manners and reason, be equated with him?"
