In this cyberpunk era, why are you still playing the traditional villain?

Su Lin was a little surprised.

[Nonsense, could you handle this all by yourself if I didn't come personally?]

Xu Shi's answer was curt and unresponsive.

【Oh. 】

Su Lin smiled a little. She wondered who had been so arrogant back then, saying things like, "You need to be more honest, otherwise how will I know what you're thinking?" Now, it seems like she's the arrogant one.

Humph.

He used to be so proactive... Oh, wait, wasn't it me who pushed him down the first time?

Haha.

If it weren't for the fact that they were still on the battlefield, she would have liked to chat with Xu Shi without a care in the world and have a heart-to-heart talk with him.

But the situation didn't allow it, so she had to keep it brief, quickly hanging up after explaining the important matters—mainly because the signal in this crappy place was poor, and the network hadn't fully covered the area yet…

Ah, my vacation!

Director Su let out a mournful cry, then instantly teleported away, randomly selected a lucky sand worm, and chopped it into pieces.

Despite her displeasure, she knew that now was not the time to indulge in romantic feelings.

Even though the ships have been upgraded several times, the City of Night Sin and the Azure Cloud Immortal Realm are far apart. Even if they travel at full speed without sleep, it will still take at least three to five days.

As for nearby fire support, it would take at least a day.

Hang in there!

Su Lin always felt that she was destined to be a busybody. Even though she had been assigned to the places she wanted to go, she just couldn't find a moment of rest.

"Fire!"

She gritted her teeth, gave an order, activated her full power, and flashed through the desert, wielding her sword and venting her resentment on the sandworms.

Upon receiving the order, the combat teams behind them coordinated their efforts, unleashing a barrage of artillery fire upon the sand.

"Don't let outsiders look down on us, fight to the death!"

Seeing this, the Mosuo people were not to be outdone and let out a loud roar.

His words carried a hint of defiance, but he didn't mean any disrespect. It was just that people from the Western Regions were known for their fierce nature, and such words could maximize their enthusiasm.

He himself had already joined the battle, drawing the demon-headed broadsword from behind him.

It's good stuff.

Lin Yue, caught in the middle of the battle, glanced at it casually and could tell that the craftsmanship of the knife was almost on par with the latest generation of alloy battle blades from Night City.

Moreover, she seemed to have heard before that the people in the Azure Cloud Immortal Realm cultivated in a different way, and weapons and the like were more like a medium for them to activate their abilities.

She was also eager to see what kind of strength this regional leader, known as the Wolf King, could demonstrate.

Mosuo's strength is definitely much greater than he appears.

After that roar, the figure of a gray wolf gradually appeared behind him.

The phantom of the giant wolf, which had no physical form, revealed unparalleled power the moment it fully materialized. With a single sweep of its claw, it instantly cleaved a swarm of sandworms in half.

So strong.

The assassin girl inwardly admired him, but then thought about it and realized that it made sense. Although he had been groveling before them, he was still an S-rank "Ascensionist," and a veteran "Ascensionist" who was almost at the SS rank. If he didn't have such strength, he probably wouldn't have been able to become a regional overlord and earn the title of "Wolf King."

The wolf king is still a wolf! (Just kidding)

Mosuo, unleashing his full power, was clearly not there to sweep away the weaklings. He moved with sparks and lightning, his scarlet eyes fixed on only one target.

Giant sand cricket!

Although there's an old saying that you should eat the meat before chopping the bones, there's also another saying that you should catch the king first.

Everyone could see clearly that as long as the giant sand worm didn't fall, these smaller sand worms would keep appearing. It would be a war of attrition, and they would be worn down and killed.

However, there aren't many people who can fight the giant sandworm head-on. Su Lin and Lin Yue are not quite suited for it. It seems that only Tang Shuang and Mo Suo are suitable for one-on-one combat with such a big monster.

"You son of a bitch, how dare you act so arrogantly on my turf?!"

Mosuo He was also in a bad mood. He had finally managed to get such an opportunity, but this happened. No matter what the situation was, it gave people the impression of airing their dirty laundry in public.

With this in mind, the phantom of the gray wolf bit down hard on the giant sandworm the moment it made contact with it.

"babble--"

The giant sandworm let out a mournful cry, and a pale yellow mist instantly burst forth from its body.

After being bombarded by Tang Shuang, it stood still and didn't move, only relying on the small sand crickets it kept releasing to heal its injuries.

But Mosuo's actions clearly angered it. The mist was like a sharp blade, and even from a distance, it gave people a sense of threat.

At the same moment, countless sharp spikes suddenly emerged from the previously calm sand!

No, it's not a spike.

To be precise, it is composed of sand-singing insects, and has tentacle-like structures.

It's another tentacle monster! It's always the tentacle monster!

Many people tried to avoid it, only to be caught off guard and stung to the core, then were eaten to pieces by the sand crickets at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Lead it deeper into the desert!"

Upon seeing this, Tang Shuang shouted that this place was not far from the populous city-states, and if the situation was allowed to continue like this, it would only get worse when civilians were involved.

In the blink of an eye, she had already thrown out a series of "Yun Li"s.

Those were all bombs equipped with decoy grenades, the purpose of which was to lure them into a deeper part of the battlefield.

"Roar--"

The sand crickets are simple-minded; with a little coaxing, they took the bait and began to charge towards the decoy flare with their bodies exposed above the sand.

"Mosuo and!"

"understood!"

Mosuo knew what she meant, so he temporarily abandoned the attack, waiting to lure her into the depths of the desert before fighting the big guy together with her.

Everything is going on in an orderly manner.

however.

That's when.

A deep rumble suddenly came from the sky.

Immediately afterwards, a bolt of lightning struck down, hitting the sand and instantly turning it into glass!

Amidst the flying shards of glass, Tang Shuang saw a figure appear in the distance.

"Who?!"

Chapter 339 The Eliminator

2023-12-23

These women are no good men.

This was Tang Shuang's subconscious thought when she saw the woman in front of her.

Nonsense, what kind of good person would stand out in the desert in such a chaotic situation, with a smile that no one can understand?

In any case, she would not categorize the other person as a local of the Qingyun Immortal Realm. The reason was simple: her attire was completely out of style here—a robe that looked like a hospital gown, and she was barefoot… Absolutely not!

More importantly, her ability to control lightning is not like the way people in the Azure Cloud Immortal Realm use their abilities; rather, it leans more towards supernatural powers.

In summary……

"Are you a member of 'Heavenly Principle'?"

She asked calmly, "The 'Observer'?"

"Hmm...why not?"

The other party did not deny their origin, and admitted it with a strange laugh.

But she denies this identity, saying, "But I'm not an 'observer,' I'm a 'eliminator.'"

Tang Shuang remained noncommittal.

That seems to be true. If someone were truly an "inspector," they would never stand out from the crowd in this area, making themselves look conspicuous for anyone to see.

"So the current sand worm riot was caused by you?"

Based on her previous experiences, she looked at him with ill intent.

"of course."

The woman in the veil smiled and nodded.

"Finally couldn't hold back any longer, huh?"

Tang Shuang mimicked her cold laugh and returned the sneer, thinking to herself that this might not be such a bad thing after all.

After all, everyone has done so much over the years. Developing their own strength is one aspect, but another is to force the "Tianli" that has been hiding behind the scenes to show itself. What's the point of just finding and executing the "observers"? If you're going to do something, you have to uproot them completely. That's what Xu Shi should be doing.

Now that "Tianli" has taken the initiative, Tang Shuang can't think of any other reason besides feeling the pressure brought by Xu Shi.

Thinking about this, she even felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

Although I hate to admit it, no matter what, "Heavenly Principles" are the players in this world, and all living beings are their pawns.

Now, as chess pieces, they have finally jumped off the chessboard and slapped the face of the player who wielded the pieces.

Even in such a difficult situation, it was enough to make her feel happy.

Oh, I've become a fun person too...

Hmm? Why did I say "also"?

"Yes, we just couldn't wait any longer."

The woman in the veil nodded again, "Seeing you little mice jumping around is always an eyesore."
