King of Assassins-Chapter 800 - 591: Just in Time

Hundreds of Evil God's believers charged fiercely like wild wolves.

Gao Xuan immediately noticed something was wrong. Each person's eyes were bloodshot, their spiritual fluctuations were intense, and their entire bodies exuded a strong evil aura.

Without a doubt, their spirits had been deeply corrupted by the Evil God. Further stimulated by New Moon's divine technique, they had lost their sanity, turning into fearless lunatics.

Gao Xuan retreated swiftly without hesitation. These low-level frenzied cultists were easy to deal with, but New Moon hidden within the crowd was troublesome.

He had no foundation in the company, so there was no need to stand out. As long as he could hold the opponent back, it would be considered an overachievement.

"Apostle New Moon spotted, she's at the west B2P4 exit of Anxi Fort, trying to break through with cultists..."

Gao Xuan issued a warning through voice communication, retreating behind a defense point.

This time, the Field Department was equipped with heavy weaponry, including automatic heavy machine guns and semi-fixed defense shields.

These defense shields were much larger than handheld ones, folding up for transport.

Now, all these defense shields opened up to form a small transparent house.

The defense shields formed simple fortifications that were not only bulletproof and explosion-proof but could also resist spiritual attacks through the attached high-power spiritual shield.

The spiritual shield could be said to be an important invention. It uses high-frequency electromagnetic waves to interfere with spiritual power.

After all, spiritual power is a special electromagnetic wave propagated through Source Power.

The spiritual shield blocks surrounding Source Power fluctuations through high-frequency interference, thereby disrupting the transmission of spiritual power.

With this device, most of the Evil God's spiritual attacks were rendered useless.

However, the device weighed over a hundred kilograms, had a bulky size, and consumed extreme amounts of power, with poor endurance.

Only in this prepared battlefield could the spiritual shield truly be effective.

Three defense points shared one spiritual shield, which was barely sufficient.

The three defense points were set in a triangular formation, able to cover each other with no shooting blind spots, effectively sealing off the hall entrance. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The frenzied cultists couldn't perceive this at all, having lost the ability to think. They saw only enemies, driven solely by the urge to tear apart everything they encountered.

Hundreds charging together looked imposing.

But, in the face of the heavy automatic machine guns, such a charge was utterly foolish.

The pre-configured automatic machine guns aimed and fired at targets under motorized guidance.

The automatic heavy machine guns used 10.5 caliber bullets, even longer than chopsticks. Driven by gunpowder, these bullets could easily penetrate five centimeters of steel plate.

Even with the Evil God's divine technique, these cultists were still flesh and blood.

The narrow entrance made the crowd extremely dense. A single bullet could easily pierce through three or four people, leaving a huge hole in the last person.

Whenever a bullet hit, bodies were shredded instantly.

In less than ten seconds, the triple burst fire from the heavy machine guns turned the area inside and outside the hall doors into a blood-stained scene. The carnage was extreme.

The automatic heavy machine guns were exceedingly accurate, leaving the hall doors undamaged.

Those operating the automatic heavy machine guns were all smug, with one saying, "These cultists are just fools. Even if there were ten thousand, twenty thousand, they'd still end up dead."

Others were equally relaxed, unfazed by the bloodbath, even finding it entertaining.

After all, such an easy massacre was seldom encountered.

Controlling firearms and mastering life and death made the Field Department members somewhat elated.

However, Gao Xuan sensed something was off. According to the data, both New Moon and Waning Moon were very intelligent and cautious, trusted heavily by the Evil God, with considerable strength.

New Moon couldn't possibly overlook the defenses outside. Her deliberate sacrifice of followers must have a purpose.

Gao Xuan speculated that it probably involved executing some evil technique through death and bloodshed.

He said, "Everyone, don't leave the defense point, stay alert."

"Our mission is to find the Divine Crystal, why hide inside? Waiting for others to take the credit?"

In another defense point, Wild Bull was dissatisfied, stepping out and heading deeper into the hall.

Wild Bull grumbled, "We shouldn't use heavy machine guns. What if we damage the Divine Crystal? If that happens, I'll report your reckless command to the higher-ups!"

Wild Bull obviously knew the Evil God's prowess, but having worked in the Field Department for years, dealing with cultists almost daily, he had a good understanding of the Evil God's affairs.

The company was clear: the Moon God had been slain, leaving only a Divine Crystal behind.

Without the Evil God, the cultists' power was mostly negated.

The heavy machine gun sweep just now slaughtered all the cultists. Even if New Moon was still alive, what could she pull off?

Wild Bull had been outside and hadn't seen New Moon evade Gao Xuan's continuous shots.

With his Light Exoskeleton Armor, he confidently believed he could smash that little woman with a single punch.

The Light Exoskeleton Armor didn't have full-body defense armor. Its main structure was implanted along the spine, connecting mechanical bones to the limbs and torso, powered by a nuclear battery.

Weighing only twenty kilograms, it had 30% the combat power of a Heavy Exoskeleton Armor. However, its protection was significantly inferior.

Relying on this set of equipment, Wild Bull has tormented countless Evil God's believers. He's full of confidence in himself.

On the other hand, there is a Spiritual Shield inside the defense point.

The reason the Evil God is so formidable is that there are countless tricks in the Divine Soul aspect, hard to guard against. With a Spiritual Shield, what's there to be afraid of?

Wild Bull is also eager to impress; if he could find the Divine Crystal, the credit would be enormous.

Gao Xuan saw that Wild Bull wasn't listening, so he ignored him. This fool couldn't even sense the bloody, malevolent aura permeating the air. If he wants to die, let him.

Anyway, he had already issued the order; it's Wild Bull who disobeyed. Whatever consequences arise, he's brought them upon himself.

In fact, the malevolent aura in the air had already condensed into substance.

Wild Bull finally sensed that something was amiss as he stood hesitantly at the entrance of the hall.

The massive bloodstains under Wild Bull's feet suddenly coiled inward. Sensing something wrong, Wild Bull hurriedly steadied himself.

Armed with Light Exoskeleton Armor, as Wild Bull exerted force with his feet, the mechanical toes extended and gripped the ground tightly.

Normally, even if ten people exerted force together, they couldn't pull Wild Bull away.

However, the bloodstains under Wild Bull's feet wrapped around him like a large red-black cloth.

Wild Bull realized something was wrong and let out a terrified howl, spraying bullets wildly with his rifle.

The red-black cloth wrapping Wild Bull was not affected at all, penetrating constantly through the Bulletproof Combat Robe.

The fully enclosed Bulletproof Combat Robe was corroded and infiltrated by the red-black bloodstains in an instant. Wild Bull screamed in unbearable agony as if pierced by countless blood-red spikes.

The Field Department members hiding inside the defense point all turned pale.

The sudden mutation had frightened them all.

One field member asked Gao Xuan in panic, "What do we do?"

Gao Xuan ignored him and urgently contacted Wei Ying through the microphone in his helmet: "Someone disobeyed orders and went out on their own, being eroded by the Evil God's Divine Technique. He's about to lose control. Requesting immediate execution."

"Understood."

Wei Ying glanced at the received footage, and despite some delay, she judged the situation as dire.

In such circumstances, there was no time to check Wild Bull's condition. To prevent further mutation, execution was the most correct choice.

"Copy that."

Upon receiving the order, Gao Xuan picked up a heavy sniper rifle and repeated the order: "Received the minister's order, immediately execute Wild Bull."

Through the temporary public communication channel of the second squad, all members heard Gao Xuan's words.

Everyone's initial reaction was: This guy is really ruthlessly cunning!

As Gao Xuan reported, he fired the Hou Yi Sheyang Type 9 Heavy Sniper in his hand.

This was an electromagnetically driven heavy sniper rifle, 1.4 meters long, weighing 12 kilograms. The speed of the projectile leaving the barrel reached a staggering 20,000 meters per second.

The Hou Yi Sheyang Type 9 Heavy Sniper was reputed to be able to pierce through an interstellar battleship. Of course, that's impossible. But on Pegasus Star, no normal life could withstand a shot like this.

Though Wild Bull was wrapped in the red-black bloody cloth, the projectile from the sniper rifle accurately shattered Wild Bull's head.

The red-black cloth, along with the impact of the projectile, exploded into a mass with Wild Bull's head.

Yet Wild Bull's shattered head reassembled in an instant, but his nose and eyes were randomly piled together. Wild Bull's reborn head looked bizarre and terrifying.

Wild Bull turned around, his two eyes, one above and one below, fixed on Gao Xuan. The deep resentment and malice in his eyes made the members of the Field Department all shudder.

Gao Xuan wasn't courteous, firing four consecutive shots with the sniper rifle, blasting Wild Bull's body into pieces. But under the shroud of the red-black blood light, Wild Bull almost instantly recovered as before.

Gao Xuan sternly reprimanded the stupefied field personnel: "Watching a show? Start shooting now!"

The Field Department members snapped back to reality, hastily activating the automatic heavy machine guns.

Wild Bull reacted swiftly, lunging suddenly at the defense point just before the heavy machine guns could fire.

This defense point was where he had been earlier, and the defense point's door was open. Wild Bull darted inside instantly.

Following that, Wild Bull punched the Spiritual Shield. The equipment, weighing over a hundred kilograms, was smashed to pieces by his exoskeleton-clad fist.

The other field members were terrified, frantically shooting Wild Bull with their pistols.

Wild Bull didn't dodge, stood there taking over a dozen shots, his eyes darkened, and he went completely still.

The black-red blood shimmer enveloping Wild Bull suddenly flew outward, and New Moon floated out of the hall. The black-red shimmer landed on her white robe, transforming into a long, trailing red-black cloak.

With this cloak, New Moon's gentle beauty turned eerie and sinister. Her gaze swept over the Field Department members and finally landed on Gao Xuan.

New Moon's crimson lips parted slightly: "Heretic who desecrates my Lord, all must die."

Before she finished speaking, the Divine Soul of the Field Department members was struck by an invisible heavy hammer. Unable to react, everyone simultaneously fainted.

New Moon looked at Gao Xuan's calm expression, a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes.

Gao Xuan gently said, "If you run back now, it's still not too late."
