I'm not just human!

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

The lances, as dense as raindrops, landed on the ritual defense array, creating ripples that spread outwards from the points of impact.

The bronze-armored cavalrymen seemed to be in a frenzy, their eyes bloodshot, like a madman stabbing his enemy with a knife.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!

Countless more guns were fired, and the ritual defense array, like a glass bowl about to be crushed, began to wail incessantly.

"Such an offensive..."

Tefaro was trembling with fear. He asked himself, even if Patriarch Osius came, let alone himself who had just become a transcendent monarch, he probably couldn't withstand the tens of thousands of spear thrusts that the bronze-armored cavalrymen unleashed in an instant.

With a loud crack, followed by a series of rapid cracks, the cracks on the inverted, glass-bowl-like ritual defensive array suddenly multiplied by dozens of times.

The cracks, which were originally fan-sized gaps, are now only the size of a palm, and they are all teetering on the verge of breaking apart completely.

The Lord of Guardians suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. This time, His blood no longer possessed the vigorous vitality of life; it was even less than that of mortals, turning black and emitting a foul stench.

Tefaro's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that even the Guardian was nearing his limit...

This is a narrow street lined with medieval-style houses on both sides. Although old, they are clean and tidy, and the residents are hardworking and kind.

At this moment, in the window of one of the houses, a gentle woman held her daughter in her arms and looked anxiously through the window at the Guardian Lord on the street not far away, the leader of the city of Mychi, and occasionally looked up at the sky.

As a mortal, she could not see the bronze-armored cavalry, but she could already see the ritual defensive array that was about to shatter.

At this moment, the woman only vaguely sensed that some extremely terrifying, unseen entity was frantically attacking the ritual defense array.

If the ritual defense array breaks, everyone in the city will likely...

"Mom, I'm scared..."

The adorable daughter in her arms buried her chubby cheeks in her chest in fear, her big eyes filled with terror.

The woman sighed softly. In the past, when those despicable mages from Arcane City attacked, she could comfort her daughter, saying that the Lord of the Guardians would surely lead the extraordinary beings to repel those mages.

But now, even she, a mere mortal, realizes that everyone in the City of Secrets... is likely doomed to perish in this calamity.

The blade flashed, an incomparably dazzling mercury-like light suddenly shone.

Outside the city of Michi, above that unseen and terrifying presence, a flash of light suddenly appeared, shining like the sun, instantly illuminating everything in Michi.

The blade light was so condensed and heavy, yet it appeared sinister and terrifying. With an unstoppable force that could break through everything, it slashed straight at that unseen, unknown existence!

boom!!!

It was clearly just a flash of light, yet it had the effect of an extraordinary bomb explosion. The people of Michi City vaguely sensed that with the appearance of this flash of light, the unseen and terrifying entity's attack on the ritual defense array actually stopped for a moment!

Whoosh—!

Suddenly, another flash of light appeared, this time carrying an aura capable of destroying everything.

At that very moment, a silver-white figure appeared.

It was a humanoid figure that was ten meters tall, as if it had been cast from mithril, but it had twelve arms, six wings on its back, and twenty legs that grew from its waist down, almost encircling its waist!

On the chest of this silver-white metallic humanoid figure are three majestic and terrifying dragon heads, connected by a long neck, their eyes constantly darting around, as if searching for something.

This appearance is clearly the kind that would drive anyone mad at the mere sight of it, but in the eyes of the people of Mych City at this moment, this silver-white metallic humanoid... is nothing short of a savior!

Because he is attacking that unseen, terrifying being! He is saving everyone in the city of Mychi!

Swish!

The silver-white metal humanoid figure had twelve arms, each holding a heavy and imposing horse-slaying sword. On the back of the sword, a full fifth of the secret runes shone brightly, making it look incredibly mystical.

At that moment, the metal muscles on the twelve arms of the silver-white metal humanoid bulged simultaneously, and it slashed out with this blade!

boom!!!

Another burst of silver light exploded out. Where he slashed, first the void was blasted open with cracks, and then even the deep purple space within the cracks was annihilated.

That place became utter nothingness.

Immediately following, the figure of a bronze-armored cavalryman, as majestic as a mountain, appeared, swaying slightly.

The residents of Michi finally saw what was attacking them.

This bronze-armored cavalryman was as majestic as a mountain, and his warhorse was just as huge, snorting irritably as it looked at the silver-white metal humanoid with twelve arms with extremely hostile eyes.

Beneath the bronze-armored cavalryman's mask, a mad gaze suddenly flashed with intense killing intent. Almost the instant he appeared, he thrust out a lance at a speed exceeding the speed of light.

Just as the lance was about to pierce the silver-white metal humanoid, the next moment, the twenty legs of the silver-white metal humanoid moved, and the six wings behind it flapped, and it disappeared on the spot!

Without a doubt, the bronze-armored cavalryman missed his target.

Immediately afterwards, on the streets of Mych City, beside the Guardian Lord, Xia Fa, now in a completely new form, appeared.

Just now, after leaving the guardian castle, he immediately saw the Bronze Cleaner frantically attacking the ritual defense array.

It was at this very moment that Xia Fa keenly realized that this was an opportunity, based on his decades of battles that had teetered on the brink of life and death since he came into this world... no, it was his experience of crushing enemies every time he had done so in the past month!

I... can launch a sneak attack!

Although he is currently only equivalent to a veteran transcendent monarch in terms of combat strength,

However, the burning sensation in the heart, the ignited living silver blood, the near loss of control, and the "Silver Oath" buff from the Blazing Oath Spear... if the fourth secret, Probability Critical Strike, could trigger again...

And, with the incomplete, ancient, mysterious treasure, the Calamity-Slaying Blade, its unparalleled sharpness cuts through anything...

And that's how that stab happened.

That's right, it was actually just one strike. The second strike wasn't from him, but rather from the "record and reproduce" ability of the Calamity Slashing Blade.

This was the power of the Horse-Slaying Blade that he divined when he was an Insect-level Transcendent and had only signed a Hegemon-level secret contract.

The enemies I encountered before were too weak, so I didn't need to use this ability to record and reproduce them.

This time, it finally came in handy.

"Xia Fa, you...you successfully signed the contract?"

The Guardian Lord, who had been completely dejected, was greatly invigorated upon seeing Xia Fa's appearance and witnessing his astonishing two strikes.

Tefaro was extremely surprised. He never expected that Xia Fa, who had signed the third hegemon-level secret contract and become the future Holy Spirit of Destiny, would actually be so powerful!

Not only did they successfully ambush the bronze-armored cavalry, but they even managed to escape twice!

Xia Fa's expression was solemn at this moment:

"Yes, the contract was successfully signed, but I've discovered a problem."

The Guardian Lord quickly said:

"What's the problem?"

At this moment, the bronze-armored cavalryman, perhaps enraged that he had failed to seriously injure the attacker after being ambushed, launched another frenzied attack on the ritual defense array.

Fortunately, Xia Fa successfully emerged from the guardian castle and signed the next overlord-level secret contract. Therefore, he simply took one step forward and stood beside the guardian lord, fighting alongside Him.

The golden bell jingled and happily returned to Xia Fa's side.

The two of them began to work together as the array masters, maintaining the crumbling ritual defensive array.

It was precisely because of this that the ritual defense array, despite being in such a cracked state, miraculously stabilized.

No matter how the bronze-armored cavalry attacked, they managed to hold out for a few more minutes.

Seeing that he had a chance to catch his breath, Xia Yu spoke very quickly:

"It suddenly went berserk, trying to break through this ritual defense array, not because it was truly insane, but because..."

As he spoke, Xia Fa opened his palm, and a photograph was "manifested".

This is the simplest application of the "fantasy" power of "miracle fantasy". He presented everything he saw after the second sneak attack to the Guardian Lord and Tefaro in the form of photographs.

The Guardian and Tefaro immediately stepped forward to take a look, their faces showing surprise, but their eyes filled with joy.

Xia Fa's attack just now, although it failed to seriously injure the bronze armored cavalry—which was impossible in itself.

They couldn't even harm the physical bodies of the bronze-armored cavalrymen.

After all, he is currently only equivalent to a veteran transcendent monarch, and is still far from being a being with the strength of a god.

However, his attack just now successfully shattered the armor on the vest of the bronze-clad cavalryman.

Under the combined attack of his "Starlight Heavenly Punishment Burst Silver" and "Silver Slash," along with the triggering of the fourth arcane secret, Probability Critical Strike, the armor was finally blasted into a hole the size of a water tank after two strikes.

Although, this is nothing compared to the mountain-like size of the bronze-armored cavalry.

However, Xia Fa obtained extremely important and crucial information from the large hole in the armor.

Even... the very source of hope for survival!

At this moment, the most striking feature of the photo is the large, irregular hole on the edge of the armor, but inside the hole... there is a large part of the torso missing!

Because of the explosion of Starfall's Blazing Silver, the dazzling silver light illuminated everything inside the armor, just as lightning struck down and illuminated a cave.

From this photo, the three of them could clearly see that the bronze-armored cavalryman, whose armor appeared indestructible, only had his left half remaining inside.

The cross-section of the left side of the body contained only gray flesh, without any bones or organs, yet pale flames were burning fiercely.

Chapter 286 The Bronze Cleaner Falls into the Trap! Xia Fa's Watertight Scheme!

"It...is injured?"

Tefaro spoke with disbelief, finding it hard to believe that this bronze-armored cavalryman, so powerful and imposing, was actually critically wounded and on the verge of death.

With only half of their bodies remaining, and even that half still being scorched by some terrifying pale flame, the bronze-armored cavalryman had almost killed several of them with a single spear thrust.

"Yes, that's the real reason it went berserk. It knows it's about to die and wants to... wipe out us superhumans before it dies."

Xia Fa spoke in a deep voice, his expression serious:

"However, this ritual defensive array can only hold out for less than twenty minutes at most. Given its life force, it can live for at least several more hours, more than enough to kill us all."

The Lord of Guardians spoke in a deep voice from the side:

"So, we still have to find a way to kill it."

Xia Fa nodded:

"But this is already much better than dealing with a bronze armored cavalryman at his peak, isn't it?"

Despite saying this, the three of them showed no signs of truly easing their inner turmoil.
