The player is playing like a god, and has already advanced to Space Marine level at the start.

Half of Tianhe City collapsed, and the air was thick with the smell of gunpowder; even breathing in it made my lungs ache.

Ge Xiaolun was still in a daze, his mind filled with the image of Lu Xiao tearing the flagship apart. He stood there with his mouth agape, looking rather foolish.

"Um...Master, aren't we taking a bit too big a step?"

Ge Xiaolun hunched his shoulders, raised his hand halfway, and then lowered it.

"Chief Du was our former superior, and now he's been directly assigned to mining..."

"Shut up, mortal."

Lu Xiao didn't even turn her head, her tone icy cold.

The clouds overhead were suddenly torn apart by a brute force.

A dark silver shadow descended from the sky, crashing heavily into the center of the street with the force to overturn the earth.

boom!

The asphalt road beneath their feet shattered into pieces on the spot, and the flying dirt and rocks rained down on the black-armored recruits.

"Cough! Cough! What's going on? Another gluttonous beast has fallen?"

Zhao Xin choked on the dust, his eyes rolling back in his head, and he brandished his spear like a windmill.

The dust settled, revealing a figure in dark silver armor standing inside.

The man carried a three-pointed, double-edged halberd, and his phoenix-winged purple-gold crown gleamed brightly in the sunlight. He stood with one hand on his hip, chin held high, staring at the group as if they were nothing more than rotten fish and shrimp on the roadside.

Xuan Tianji is the foremost of the four guardians of Lieyang.

"Tsk, a bunch of rotten fish and shrimp."

Xuan Tianji activated his dark energy amplification, his voice so loud it hurt people's eardrums. He stared at Lena, a smile on his face that made you want to slap him.

"Lena, General Pan Zhen is very disappointed in you."

Xuan Tianji twirled the halberd in his hand, its tip pointing directly at the surrounding broken walls and ruins.

"The mighty Sun God, the Light of the Sun, is actually hanging out with these Earth monkeys and getting himself into such a sorry state. If this gets back to the Heavenly Dao Tower, those elders will probably laugh their heads off."

Lena's face immediately darkened. She took a step forward, clutching a ball of scorching energy in her hand.

"Xuan Tianji! Who sent you? Pan Zhen?"

"I'm here to clean up your mess, and by the way..."

Xuan Tianji sneered and turned to stare at the blue, steel giant.

"Clean up the trash that doesn't know its place."

The halberd in his hand suddenly trembled, pointing at Lu Xiao.

"With your tin frame, you think you can dismantle the Taotie's flagship? You're strong enough, but in front of a true god, you're just a big insect."

Xuan Tianji took a step forward, releasing the oppressive aura of a third-generation super soldier, making it hard for people to breathe.

"Kneel down and kowtow to Lieyang a few times, and maybe I can leave you a whole corpse."

The surroundings were deathly silent.

Liu Chuang spat on the ground and muttered to himself.

"Who is this guy? He's even more arrogant than that blue-skinned god?"

Lu Xiao turned around.

He had already removed the bulky missile rack, and a crimson light flickered in the eyepiece of the Mark X power armor.

"Check what's in this stuff."

[Target: Xuan Tianji. Third-generation super soldier. Threat: Low.]

Lu Xiao sneered from his helmet.

"interesting."

The electronic sound has a metallic, grating quality that can be a bit harsh on the ears.

"Wearing ancient costume and carrying a fire poker, you dare to bark at Astartes?"

Lu Xiao took a step, and the servo motor inside the power armor emitted a low hum.

"You want me to kneel down? In this universe, no one has the right to make me kneel down. Even if Keisha herself came, it wouldn't make a difference. So, heretic, die!"

"presumptuous!"

Xuan Tianji's eyes widened.

"How dare you, a mere mortal being, disrespect this god!"

"god?"

Lu Xiao laughed loudly, her words filled with a chilling, murderous aura.

"In this universe, only one being deserves this title. As for you..."

Lu Xiao's hand reached for her waist.

"He's just a bigger heretic."

Click.

He tossed the chainsaw sword back into his spatial storage. Using a chainsaw sword was too crude on this arrogant fellow; he needed something more ruthless.

A power sword appeared in his hand.

As the fingertip pressed the start button, the air around the blade began to ripple. A pale blue disintegrating force field enveloped the sword; it was a ruthless weapon capable of shredding things at the molecular level.

"Heretic, your very existence is a desecration of the Emperor."

He gripped the sword with both hands, the tip of the sword pointing diagonally at the ground.

"Today, I'll give you a purification."

"court death!"

Xuan Tianji's face twitched, and he transformed into a streak of silver light. The three-pointed, double-edged halberd, accompanied by a whooshing sound, hurtled straight towards Lu Xiao's head.

It was so fast that it left trails of white smoke, and the sonic boom shattered all the surrounding glass.

"Get out of the way!"

Lena shouted anxiously.

Lu Xiao didn't dodge; instead, he charged towards the sharp blade.

"For the Emperor!!"

The battle cries shook the ruins.

Blue flames burst from the backpack's nozzle, and the three-meter-tall steel behemoth crashed into it like a cannonball.

There's no fancy stuff, just the toughest frontal assault.

Nearly.

Xuan Tianji stared at the increasingly large scarlet goggles, his face full of disdain.

"Brainless brute force without a brain."

He directly activated the Blazing Sun Gene Engine.

"Analyze the target."

"Constructing the strike concept: disintegrating armor."

But the next second, Xuan Tianji's face froze.

All he could see in the dark dimension was blackness, an unfathomable darkness.

[Warning: Parsing failed. No dark data found in the target. Logical error!]

"ha?"

Xuan Tianji's brain short-circuited for 0.1 seconds.

In that instant, Lu Xiao had already reached them.

"You dare to be so absent-minded during a war? Be careful in your next life."

The power sword drew a blue arc as it slashed upwards.

Xuan Tianji hurriedly held his halberd horizontally to his chest, trying to withstand the blow head-on. This halberd was a god-slaying weapon produced by Lieyang, ridiculously hard, capable of even blocking the axe of the War God of Nuoxing.

But physical hardness is a joke in the face of the disintegrating force field of a power sword.

Sizzle—!

There was no metallic clanging sound; it sounded more like a hot knife being plunged into lard.

The halberd snapped the instant it touched the blue light. The cut was clean, and wisps of smoke rose from the broken end.

"My halberd..."

Xuan Tianji's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets as he stared at the broken stick in his hand, his mind going blank.

What the hell is this thing? With tens of thousands of years of smelting technology, it's this fragile?

"Give me your opinion."

Lu Xiao's voice rang in his ear, chillingly cold.

"They're a bit better than those Taotie minions from before; at least they let me draw my sword."

Lu Xiao didn't give him a chance to breathe, and the heavy shoulder armor pressed directly against Xuan Tianji's chest.

Bang!

Xuan Tianji's dark alloy armor on his chest collapsed on the spot, and the blood mist he spewed from his mouth covered his face.

He was sent flying backward, carving a furrow several tens of meters long in the ground.

"Cough cough...you...what kind of monster are you...?"

Xuan Tianji struggled to his feet, his arrogance gone, replaced by utter terror. He couldn't analyze it, his weapon was broken, and his strength was being crushed. This wasn't a war; it was a one-sided massacre.

"I told you."

Lu Xiao walked over step by step, the blue light from the power sword shattering the pebbles on the roadside into powder.

"I am the Emperor's angel of death."

Xuan Tianji panicked completely. He smelled the scent of death, and the murderous aura made his hands and feet go cold.

"No! You can't kill me! I am a general of Lieyang! I am Pan Zhen's..."

"Pan Zhen?"

Lu Xiao walked over and stepped on Xuan Tianji's chest, pinning him firmly to the pile of rubble.

"Even if Pan Zhen stands right here and dares to disrespect the Emperor, I will still chop him down without hesitation."

Lu Xiao raised the power sword, its blue light reflecting off Xuan Tianji's pale face.

"Take your arrogance and go to hell to repent."

"Lena! Help me! Help me!!"

Xuan Tianji screamed, his voice cracking, and turned to stare at Lena in the distance.

Lena opened her mouth, but seeing Xuan Tianji's face, she turned her head to the other side.

"goodbye."

brush!

A head flew up.

Dark red blood sprayed all over Lu Xiao. The head with the purple-gold crown rolled on the ground, its eyes still wide open, dying in the most undignified way.

Lu Xiao sheathed his sword.

He bent down, picked up the head, and tossed it to Reina's feet like trash.

Glug glug.

Its head rolled twice before stopping at the tip of Lena's boot, staring unblinkingly at the sky.

The members of the Super Soldier Squad were all terrified.

The axe in Liu Chuang's hand fell to the ground with a "clatter".

"Oh my god...did they really chop it up?"

Zhao Xin's legs went weak, and he took several steps back.

"This...this was a general of the Blazing Sun, and you just killed him like that? Wouldn't that start an interstellar war?"

Lu Xiao ignored the group of newbies and walked straight up to Lena.

Lena stared at the head on the ground, her expression a jumbled mess.

"Do you...do you know what you've done?"

Lena looked up at the giant covered in blood.

"Killing Xuan Tianji will not be enough for Pan Zhen. Lieyang Star has its pride."

"face?"

Lu Xiao took off his helmet, his face smeared with blood, and his eyes were chillingly cold.

"Lena, do you really think this guy is just coming here to die?"

Lena was taken aback.

"What do you mean?"

Lu Xiao pointed to the corpse on the ground.

"Xuan Tianji is Pan Zhen's dog. Without Pan Zhen's intervention, would he dare to yell at you like this?"

Lu Xiao's voice wasn't loud, but every word was piercing.

"This is a test. If he can control you, you'll have to continue being Pan Zhen's puppet. If he dies..."

Lu Xiao curled her lips slightly.

"That's Pan Zhen using me to clean up some useless trash, and incidentally scare you, making you think that the earth is too deep and you can only rely on the power of the blazing sun."

Lena shivered; her hands and feet were ice-cold.

"You mean, I was sold?"

"In this universe, the weak are resources."

Lu Xiao fastened his helmet, and his voice returned to that emotionless electronic tone.

"I can't control what Pan Zhen wants to do. But if he tries to intrude on my territory, he's asking for trouble."

"This place is now under the Emperor's jurisdiction."
