44: Chapter 43 I Really Didn’t Mean to Layer Vest Upon Vest!
seems to be Young Master Ren Dongyang!”
“I can recognize my boss even if he’s turned to ash!”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
As an S-rank from a prestigious family in the Provincial City, with such high status and valuable equipment, shouldn’t he be imposing and mighty?
How could he be this disheveled?
Moreover, Ren Dongyang came this time with many bodyguards!
Among them, nearly ten B-rank, Level 30 ace bodyguards, and two A-rank, Level 30 bodyguards were in command.
With such power, he could easily wipe out a stronghold of the Ascension Sect, or even flatten a One Star Mechanical Abyss!
At this moment, Ren Dongyang should have been basking in glory!
How could he seem like a stray dog, fleeing from the base in panic?
Looking like a beggar.
But this was indeed the truth!
An indisputable fact!
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Everyone’s face was filled with shock and terror.
There was only one question in their minds.
What exactly happened down there!
After several seconds, everyone came to their senses, their expressions changed drastically, and they rushed out of the base like crazed people.
There was something foul in this base!
“This place is not safe to stay!”
“Young Master Ren, wait for us!”
In their panicked flight, their minds were racing, piecing together things.
“So, that seemingly Heaven-Creating light saber wasn’t unleashed by Ren Dongyang’s men?
But by an enemy they provoked?”
“I said, how could Ren Dongyang’s bodyguards be that strong!”
“However, why does that saber feel so familiar, as if I’ve seen it somewhere before…”
Of course, there were also reckless individuals, mostly reporters, to gain attention and heat, gritting their teeth and entering to uncover what had happened inside.
Some were forcibly assigned tasks to explore.
Just after delving deeper, they witnessed a horrific scene.
Countless bodies lay scattered, energy liquid like blood, various parts, iron fragments, steel juice were everywhere.
There were Mutants, Steel Beasts, and some core members of the Ascension Sect not fully transformed into Mutants, and…
Piles and piles of Auto Men!
All of Ren Dongyang’s bodyguards and subordinates were dead…
A complete annihilation!
Those Auto Men who ventured in all had a sudden change in complexion, terrified to the extreme, as if there truly were ghosts here, fleeing in a panic, not daring to look back.
Because the Auto Men who came to this stronghold of the Ascension Sect held very high status.
There were also many reporters.
In an instant, this matter completely blew up on the internet.
It surged to the top of trending searches.
Countless people discussed.
For a while, this stronghold even seemed to become a forbidden place in the city!
What everyone discussed most was that seemingly Heaven-Creating light saber!
“This is definitely a peerless strongman!”
“What kind of heaven-defying attack is this?!
Just from looking at the photo, my heart skipped a beat?”
The posts flooded instantly.
“I remembered, back when the Mechanical Abyss descended on Xia City, just before a Beast Tide was about to erupt, such an attack appeared.”
“However, back then, the attack was more than ten times stronger than this one!
It should be a lineage passed down!”
“Is there anyone currently in Xia City who uses a Light Saber and can unleash such an attack?
The rank must be very high, and the owner of such power should be easily recognizable.”
“Hiss, it seems there’s only one, Xu Gu…”
As soon as this post appeared, countless rebuttals surfaced.
Smearing such a strongman, does Xu Gu even qualify?”
Regardless, he is our Xia City’s S-rank!
But, on the other hand, even though God Gu is S-ranked, he has just awakened and is still a commoner…”
“I wasn’t finished, legend has it, Xu Gu encountered a strongman during the Beast Tide.
“That strongman also drove a truck, wielded a Light Saber, and was quite powerful.
It should be the disciple of that peerless strongman who slaughtered the Mechanical Abyss Beast Tide.
“He valued Xu Gu highly and even blocked an assassination from the Ascension Sect for him!
“And just a few days ago, Ren Dongyang insulted Xu Gu, and that big shot couldn’t stand it, so he took action to teach Ren Dongyang a lesson, which is understandable!”
“Well now that you mention it, the analysis does make some sense…”
In the underground base of the Ascension Sect,
After Xu Gu stripped all the usable parts, he intended to leave.
Wang Lanlan, Lin Liu, and even Lin Yuna sent messages asking him to open the Creator Forum to check the latest posts.
Wang Lanlan obviously knew what was going on.
So, in her heart, she was delighted, merely wanting Xu Gu to look at the forum and be pleased.
The other two were purely worried.
They didn’t know just how powerful Xu Gu was.
Afraid that Xu Gu might encounter danger in this stronghold.
Hence, after seeing the online speculations, Xu Gu’s mouth twitched, speechless.
The imagination of these people’s brains is really strong!
Unintentionally, he ended up with three alter egos.
A regular newly awakened S-rank, a “mysterious master” traversing the Beast Tide leveling up with ‘Xu Gu,’ and an elder “peerless strongman” who eradicated the Beast Tide and slaughtered the Mechanical Abyss Lord.
“I may not like showing off in front of people.
Yet, I haven’t deliberately hidden or meekly developed in low profile.
“Why do people still have such a deep misunderstanding of me?
“I really didn’t intend to have alter egos stacked on alter egos!”
Xu Gu shook his head in bewilderment.
Soon, he found solace, understanding the crucial point.
He was too strong, beyond the comprehension of others.
Especially after using the Blue Fury Sky Slash, obliterating the Beast Tide and the Mechanical Abyss Lord.
Such feats, people simply refused to believe were accomplished by him, Xu Gu.
Even with the truth laid before them, they wouldn’t accept it willingly.
Because, once they did, their worldview would collapse.
So, they could only imagine, seeking a reasonable explanation.
“Forget it, let them be.” Xu Gu didn’t mind.
Except, the peerless strongman’s alter ego couldn’t be dropped now.
The mysterious master’s alter ego could be let go.
Because, his current strength had multiplied several folds compared to before!
The power he displayed in front of Wang Lanlan, Xia An, and Yang Xue was only at the mysterious master’s level, but only using twenty to thirty percent of his strength.
Not that he purposely withheld his strength, but these monsters were just too weak!
He didn’t want to bully them, but he had no choice, especially when they offered an S-rank part as the ultimate reward for a series of missions.
Who could resist that?
Closing the Creator Forum, Xu Gu was planning to say goodbye to Yang Xue and leave.
Communication from Xia An came through.
Xu Gu raised an eyebrow in slight surprise.
Xia An was neither his follower nor a Car Servant, sending a message at this time?
Was she also worried about him?
Thinking this, he checked her message and immediately smiled:
“Looks like I am indeed lucky.
“This Ascension Sect stronghold actually hid a precious B-rank part.
“Although to me, a B-rank part isn’t much, with a slight enhancement, it becomes an A-rank part!”
