"Bang!"

A burst of scorching ion energy dispersed the monsters that had pounced on the Space Marines.

Qin Mo and his men rushed into the battle, and the Crusaders formed a defensive formation in front of the wounded Astartes.

Qin Mo looked down and saw that the cultivator's chest armor had been torn open with several hideous wounds, and a heart could be vaguely seen beating.

For ordinary people, this would be a fatal injury, but for Astartes, who had undergone genetic modification to have "two hearts and three lungs," it only slightly limited his mobility.

The cultivator nodded slightly to Qin Mo, then quickly stood up, wiped his chest, and continued fighting with his explosive gun.

However, Qin Mo discovered that several dark figures were rushing towards the other Space Marines from various corners of the tunnel.

"Von Ryan Raider".

Qin Mo muttered to himself, these insectoid war beasts were almost "smaller" Licater bugs, but they always liked to move in groups and were extremely good at jumping attacks, making them extremely troublesome hunters.

Qin Mo instantly understood the Chicken Cult's tactics: using the large, deformed creatures to attract the Astartes' attention, and then arranging for Raiders to launch surprise attacks from the shadows. These monsters' tactics were not reckless, but rather full of insidious wisdom.

But for Space Marines, forged in "iron and blood," such an attack was merely a minor inconvenience.

"Assemble, crossfire!"

Cassius instantly changed his strategy based on the situation. He sheathed his power sword, took out his plasma pistol from his back, and switched it to overload mode.

The other cultivators quickly gathered behind the officer, their dark gun barrels pointing in all directions where they might be attacked.

"Fire."

Cassius coldly gave the order, and a dense barrage of bullets instantly covered the entire tunnel, with the monsters' dismembered limbs and screams echoing all around.

Cassius seized the opportunity and launched a sudden charge. The Astartes did not even need to communicate their tactical arrangements. In an instant, a wedge formation was formed with Sergeant Cassius at the head, and they rushed towards the weak point of the Genestealers' line.

The gene stealers' formation began to collapse, and many aliens were trampled to death as the front lines crumbled.

Under such efficient slaughter, the Genestealer Cult suffered heavy losses, and those who survived the Raiders simply hid in the deeper darkness, trembling with fear.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Just then, a series of muffled footsteps suddenly came from the darkness deep inside the tunnel, like a giant beast approaching.

Qin Mo clearly felt a sense of oppression, not a visual or sensory shock, but rather a fear that came from the depths of his soul.

"Sir, psionic signals detected ahead!" a cultivator warned.

Cassius frowned. At the end of the tunnel, in a huge cave, dozens of pureblood gene stealers were escorting a tall figure slowly approaching.

Qin Mo narrowed his eyes and saw a giant purebred chicken thief, six meters tall, covered in a carapace as hard as diamonds, with four giant claws that gleamed and could easily tear apart steel.

Moreover, this monster has evolved powerful psionic energy, with purple psionic flames burning in each of its four eyes.

"The Gene Stealer Patriarch"

Qin Mo spoke in a hoarse voice. He was the genetic father of the cunning underground dynasty, and usually, he was the beginning of the world's corruption.

Initially, the Genestealer Chieftain was just an ordinary cunning scoundrel, but as he infected more and more of his "offspring," strange powers began to flow with his life cycle. As the source of all the infections, this ordinary scoundrel gradually evolved into one of the most dangerous Tyranid creatures.

Qin Mo knew in his heart that the real battle was about to begin.

Among the group of pure-blooded cunning thieves, Qin Mo also spotted a familiar figure.

James Osiris.

This once noble and elegant aristocrat has now completely accepted his insectoid genes. All his hair has fallen out, leaving only a strange bony plate on his bald head, and his deep purple eyes exude a sinister and fierce aura.

He also spotted Qin Mo, the true master of the Gene Stealer cult, who grinned at Qin Mo, revealing a row of serrated teeth.

James raised his third mutated hand, brandishing a power sword that Qin Mo recognized, as if showing off a precious trophy.

That was the "Arsenal" type powered sword that pierced James at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

He raised his hand and drew it across his neck, making a vicious gesture.

Then, the enormous gene-stealing patriarch charged towards the Blood Drinkers' battle line.

"Fire!"

Cassius roared, and countless explosive shells slammed into the monster, but only left some dents on its diamond-hard shell.

The monster headbutted one cultivator, and its claws seized the opportunity to grab another cultivator's thigh and lift him into the air.

The cunning chieftain was over six meters tall, taller than two Space Marines combined.

But the cultivator who was lifted into the air remained very calm. He fired a bomb at the cunning clan chief's eyes. Although it missed, it successfully made the chief scramble to dodge.

Taking advantage of the moment, the monk detonated a molten metal bomb and hurled it straight at the cunning clan chief's head.

With a loud "boom," a scorching heat wave swept across the surroundings, and the monster, in pain, had no choice but to abandon the cultivator.

"Change to armor-piercing rounds!"

Cassius seized the opportunity, and the Astartes monks quickly replaced the explosive guns with special ammunition, but at that moment, the monster suddenly half-lyed on the ground.

"Be careful!"

Sensing danger, Qin Mo shouted, but the judge beside him reacted faster, shooting a beam of psionic flame straight at the cunning clan chief.

Unfortunately, it was all too late.

The monster had finished charging up, and a surging "psychic howl" erupted, sweeping across the narrow tunnel. Eileencia's psychic flames were "blown out" as if they were candle flames.

The two Astartes closest to the cunning chieftain froze on the spot, then slowly collapsed, thick blood flowing from the Space Marines' helmets.

Cassius's eyes were bloodshot.

This was the first time the Blood Drinkers began to suffer losses, but an even greater disaster was about to follow.

The cunning clan leader pounced instantly, grabbing a cultivator who was also affected by the "psychic howl" and then viciously tearing him apart at the waist.

This violence shocked everyone present.

A system pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of Qin Mo's eyes:
