Start with iron blocks, upgrade them into armor summoners.

Using the momentum, Chen Wan flipped over to create distance, and when she landed, she had another knife in her hand.

Zhou Hai fired another shot, but the bullet was blocked by the mist from the Blood Hand, hovering in mid-air before melting into a drop of molten iron and falling to the ground.

"This is to me..." Bloodhand hadn't finished speaking when a flash of blue light appeared in the molten iron, and blue runes instantly enlarged and appeared in front of him, smashing towards his body.

Caught off guard, Bloodhand was blasted away by the blue rune and crashed into the restaurant wall.

"Damn it!" Bloodhand cursed under his breath.

Chen Wan followed closely behind, rushing to Blood Hand's side. With a flash of light, dozens of blade shadows slashed towards Blood Hand.

boom--!

The red object surrounding Blood Hand exploded instantly, spreading outwards from Blood Hand with a powerful aura, causing the restaurant to collapse.

The resulting dust instantly blocked out all vision.

Chen Wan, who was closest, only felt a gust of wind, and the next second she was knocked several meters away.

Chen Wan flipped in the air, barely managing to land, her feet carving two shallow furrows in the ground.

When the smoke and dust cleared, the restaurant had collapsed.

The once neatly arranged tables and chairs were now a pile of broken wood, the paintings on the walls were hanging crookedly, and a section of the ceiling had collapsed, exposing the steel bars inside.

Bloodhand stood in the center of the ruins, the dark red mist around him twice as thick as before.

His clothes were torn in several places, revealing the skin underneath covered with dark red lines.

The patterns seemed to wriggle like living things, emitting a faint light.

"Interesting." Bloodhand glanced down at the blue rune on his chest, which hadn't completely faded yet, like a brand embedded in his skin. "Things from S City are indeed a bit stronger than the others."

He raised his hand, his fingers gripping the edge of the rune, and pulled hard.

The blue runes were forcibly ripped off the skin, like tearing off a band-aid.

Fresh blood seeped from the wound, but was quickly stopped by the dark red mist.

Zhou Hai's face darkened.

"Chen Wan, step back." He put away his gun and drew a short knife from his waist.

The blade was not long, but it was covered with dense blue runes that gleamed faintly in the dim ruins.

"Captain," Li Rui called out from behind.

"Take Xing Yun away first." Zhou Hai said without turning his head. "That's an order."

Li Rui gritted his teeth, turned around, and rushed towards Xing Yun.

Xing Yun was kneeling against the wall, his right hand supporting him on the ground, his mouth full of blood.

He had just been punched by Bloodhand and sent flying into the wall, tearing open the wound on his right shoulder, and his whole arm was trembling.

The wound in my abdomen also hurts, as if something is churning inside.

"Let's go first!" Li Rui rushed over and grabbed his arm.

Xing Yun was pulled up by him and staggered a few steps.

"Wait." He turned around and glanced back.

Zhou Hai had already rushed up.

The dagger collided with the bloody hand's claws, exploding into a burst of blue and red light.

Zhou Hai's swordsmanship was swift and precise, each strike aimed directly at vital points, but Blood Hand neither dodged nor flinched, stubbornly enduring the blade's force as it pressed forward.

Blue runes exploded on the blade, leaving wounds on Bloodhand's body.

But those wounds healed too quickly; one second they were cut open, and the next they were filled with dark red mist.

"Is that all you've got?" Bloodhand grabbed Zhou Hai's blade, the skin on his palm sizzling from the burning runes, but he didn't let go.

He kicked Zhou Hai in the chest.

Zhou Hai was sent flying backward, crashing into a pillar that hadn't completely collapsed yet, and slid down with a muffled groan.

"Captain!" Chen Wan rushed over to help him.

Zhou Hai coughed twice, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

He glanced down at his chest and saw a dented footprint on his bulletproof vest, surrounded by fine cracks.

"I'm fine." He pushed Chen Wan's hand away and stood up.

However, Zhou Hai's knife had already broken at this point.

The blade was crushed by the bloodied hand, leaving only the hilt.

Bloodhand threw the broken blades on the ground and dusted off his hands.

"But that's all you've got, you're all equally weak." His voice wasn't loud, but every word struck like a hammer blow to the hearts of those present. "Or do you think sending a few C-rank nobodies will stop me?"

He took a step forward.

Zhou Hai stood in front, holding the broken knife in his hand.

Chen Wan stood beside him, two short swords crossed in front of her.

Bloodhand took another step.

Just then.

"bite."

It was a very soft sound, like something breaking.

Xing Yun looked down at her handbag.

The zipper opened by itself.

The summoner flew out from inside and hovered in mid-air.

The crystal was no longer dark, but began to gradually awaken.

The pale blue light was initially very faint, like a candle flame about to go out.

But it grew brighter and brighter, filling the entire ruins in the blink of an eye.

The light was so bright that everyone instinctively raised their hands to shield their eyes.

Bloodhand stopped and squinted.

Something is taking shape in the blue light.

First the limbs, then the torso, and finally the head.

The white figure stepped out of the light, a full size larger than before, with thicker limbs and a metallic sheen on its claws.

It landed on the ground, and the ground shook.

The white figure turned its head, its crimson eyes fixed on the blood-red hand, and a low growl escaped its throat.

Inside the system space, Lu Zhuo opened his eyes.

The text on the panel has changed.

"Summoning System"

"Host: Lu Zhuo"

Level: 2

"Form: Armor Summoner"

Summoner: Xing Yun

Summoner Compatibility: 6/10

"Next level required: 0.12/200"

"Finally, the upgrade was successful." Lu Zhuo stretched.

This upgrade can be described as a complete overhaul of the armor.

In addition, a mount system has been added, meaning that Bai Ying can now transform into a car to drive.

All that's missing is a humanoid form to become an Autobot.

This information was also transmitted to Xing Yun after the upgrade.

He caught the summoner that fell from the sky and looked at the white figure in front of him.

It stepped forward, blocking Xing Yun and Zhou Hai, and opened its huge mouth towards the bloody hand.

"roar--!"

The tiger's roar resounded, shaking the rubble in the ruins.

Bloodhand took a half step back, his expression changing for the first time.

It wasn't fear, it was... an accident.

"A mechanical beast?" He looked at the white figure, then glanced at Xing Yun. "So that's it. This is your trump card."

Bai Ying didn't give him a chance to continue speaking.

It pounced on it.

So fast it was almost invisible, the silvery-white figure leaving a trail of afterimages in the ruins.

Bloodhand raised his hand to block, his palm colliding with the mechanical claw, creating a shockwave.

Bloodhand was knocked back a few steps, his heel sinking into the rubble to steady himself.

The white figure landed, turned around, and pounced again.

This time, it didn't charge head-on, but instead circled around the blood hand, its silvery-white figure leaving trails of light in the ruins.

Every time he passed by Bloodhand, a claw mark would fall on his body.
