The Mech Legion circled around like a flock of crows, unleashing torrents of energy that wreaked havoc on the battlefield. Han Xiao himself had changed into the combat equipment of the Black King Sequence, advancing and retreating as he fought with the four of them.
At this time, everyone was engaged in a fierce battle. It looked extremely intense, but in reality, Sorokin was the only one who was fighting for real. The other three teammates only used sixty to seventy percent of their strength, while Han Xiao was silently stacking his status.
Beiger could clearly feel that the attack power of Han Xiao's Mech Legion had decreased by a few levels compared to the last time. It was not as oppressive as before, and he immediately understood that Han Xiao was holding back.
Han Xiao's strength had skyrocketed recently. In order to give Sorokin hope, he deliberately lowered the output of the Mech Legion, only slightly higher than the last time he fought in front of the public, creating a stalemate situation.
He was not afraid of Sorokin noticing. The two of them had never fought before, and Sorokin's judgment of his strength was all based on the information on the internet. Since he had never personally experienced it, he naturally had no way of knowing what his true strength was. As long as his performance was similar to the public information, the other party would think that it was normal.
However, Sorokin's strength was not bad. His mental Esper Ability was very troublesome, and he had all kinds of negative statuses. Han Xiao did not activate [Kunde's Rage] and [Ten Thousand Soul Stream] for the time being, so it was still quite stressful for him to deal with them. From Sorokin's performance, Han Xiao estimated that this guy's Energy Rank was at least 90,000 and above. He had undoubtedly stepped into the top echelon of the universe.
"Unfortunately, this guy is a brittle."
Han Xiao curled his lips. No matter how good a brittle could fight, there was still a limit. Only a tank would have a limitless future.
Sorokin's physical strength was weaker at the same level, but Sorokin's destructive abilities could not kill him. With the buffs from [Immortal Soul], [Soul Energy Foundation], and other talents, his soul was the foundation of his life, and he could survive without his physical body.
Furthermore, Sorokin had the [Body Reconstruction] ability, so he did not need to take over someone's body like a Psychic. He could use his soul energy to create a new body for himself at any time. To him, the physical body was just a replaceable barrier for his soul. the place where his soul was.
Through the introduction of [Immortal Soul] on the interface, Han Xiao knew that Sorokin's soul form was immune to physical attacks and had extremely high resistance. He was very difficult to deal, and destroying his physical body. Sorokin's soul form would only allow him to enter the second stage.
The trump card he had prepared was the Mark of the Underworld. When the Underworld was at its peak, it had a special suppressive effect on all souls. It was the nemesis of all souls.
Han Xiao's goal was to find an opportunity to destroy Sorokin's body and force him to appear in his soul form. He would then directly drag his soul into the Underworld and let the professional team send him away happily.
On the other side, Sorokin was also quickly calculating in his mind.
"Black Star's strength is similar to what I expected. He is indeed very powerful, but not as exaggerated as the rumors say. With his strength, the success rate of this ambush is higher than what I expected."
Sorokin's mind was refreshed, and his thoughts became active.
It was very disadvantageous for him to be passive all this time. Although he had the Holy Covenant's weakness, his personal safety was under the control of others. Only when he was free from the control of the Holy Covenant could the chips in his hands be more effective. Otherwise, he would only be able to protect himself. It was true that the Holy Covenant did not want to be exposed, but even if they were, the Holy Covenant would only get into trouble, and he would most likely be dead. The price was not equal, and there was not much room for negotiation.
He felt that the moment the ambush succeeded, there might be an opportunity to escape. However, as a psychic Esper, his mobility was very poor, and the chances of him escaping were too low.
"Let's follow the plan and find an opportunity to control Black Star. Then, we'll act according to the situation."
Sorokin calmed himself down, pressed his forehead, and sent hundreds of psychic energy piercing toward Han Xiao.
The five of them fought fiercely, silently waiting for an opportunity.
After exchanging blows for quite some time, Han Xiao's movements suddenly froze, as if he had suffered too many psychic attacks and was finally in an abnormal state.
"Do it!"
Before Sorokin could say anything, Beiger suddenly roared in the combat group chat and took over the heavy responsibility of setting the pace.
Intense magic waves burst out from his body, and control spells that were already fully charged were cast one after another, stacking on Han Xiao's body.
The other two Beyond Grade As did not say anything and immediately followed, throwing out the control spells that they had been charging up for a long time.
Hum!
Energy of various colors and forms wrapped tightly around Han Xiao, as if fixing him in midair, unable to move.
Seeing the opportunity, Sorokin had no choice but to cooperate. His eyes widened, and almost materialized psychic attacks shot out like a series of misty light waves, piercing through Han Xiao's body and triggering all kinds of negative statuses in the blink of an eye.
The next moment, Beiger raised his hand, and teleportation gates appeared on the battlefield. The dozens of Beyond Grade As who had been lying in ambush for a long time all charged out, holding the trump cards that they had been charging up for a long time in their hands, about to release them toward Han Xiao.
However, at this moment, Han Xiao's body trembled, and he used some unknown ability to break free from the control spells cast by Beiger and the other two.
In reality, he did not do anything. It was Beiger and the other two who secretly deactivated their abilities.
As for Sorokin's abilities, he had activated [Kunde's Rage] in advance and was immune to a lot of negative statuses, so he was not affected at all.
Even Han Xiao's flaw was purposely exposed, and Beiger cooperated according to the instructions of the director team to make Sorokin think that the opportunity had come. In fact, it was the signal for Han Xiao and the others to make their move.
The sudden change happened in a flash. Before Sorokin could react, Han Xiao immediately used Void Hyperdrive as soon as he was free, teleporting in front of Sorokin, and pressing Sorokin into his broad chest.
"You …"
Sorokin was shocked. It was as if he saw a blood-red 'danger' appear above his head!
Before he could finish, dozens of Beyond Grade As focused their fire on the two of them!
On the other side, the Mech Legion also turned around and fired at the two of them. This time, they did not control the power and went all out!
Han Xiao activated all his explosive abilities and then used Virtual Soul to suppress Sorokin. The two of them were rooted to the ground and could only watch as countless attacks approached.
The next second, their figures were drowned in light.
Boom!
The opposing torrents of energy turned into a rapidly expanding mass of energy, sweeping in all directions. The terrifying energy fluctuations almost snatched away everyone's perception, leaving only a dazzling expanse of white in front of everyone's eyes.
Hu!
The light cluster expanded to its limit and suddenly exploded. The energy shockwave spread out with the explosion as the center, blowing everything around away.
The light quickly dissipated, and Han Xiao was the only one left on the battlefield. He dragged his broken body, and large amounts of blood spurted out from his wounds. He looked like a water bag that had dozens of holes. Clearly, he was severely injured.
The attacks of dozens of Beyond Grade As and the Mech Legion was the most terrifying damage Han Xiao had ever suffered. The fact that he could survive was already because of the bonuses of [Perfect Energy Affinity Physique] and [Proof of Leadership]. Furthermore, Han Xiao had specially worn a set of 'Black King Sequence Defensive Equipment'. Although it was destroyed, it had resisted a large amount of damage. Otherwise, he felt that he would have to give up a revival token here.
On the other hand, Sorokin's body had been completely destroyed by the terrifying explosion. Not even a speck of dust was left.
In such a situation, if it were anyone else, they would have died long ago. However, to Sorokin, it was just entering the second stage!
Streams of light suddenly lit up in front of Han Xiao, forming a glowing green energy body that turned into Sorokin's appearance.
At the same time, a mental message was sent into Han Xiao's mind.
"The attack worked … Looks like your Indestructible Body isn't really indestructible."
Sorokin secretly rejoiced.
Fortunately, he did not rely on his physical body to survive. When his Soul Body was separated from his physical body, there was a moment of invincibility. Otherwise, that wave of attacks would have heavily injured him as well. Furthermore, his Soul Body was still at full strength.
One more wave, and Black Star would definitely die!
Sorokin did not say anything. In a short instant, he sent out a series of mental attacks on Han Xiao, trying to prevent Han Xiao from changing into the King and escaping.
His Soul Body was not physically controlled. He immediately retreated, passing through Han Xiao's arm, wanting to quickly increase the distance between them. At the same time, he spoke in the combat channel, telling everyone to seize the opportunity to launch the second round of attacks.
However, just as Sorokin was about to retreat, Han Xiao raised his hand and inserted it into his Soul Body. The Mark of the Underworld on the back of his hand suddenly lit up, erupting with a shocking suction force.
"What's this?"
Sorokin was shocked. He felt as if this mark had turned into a whirlpool, and his Soul Body suddenly became uncontrollable. Before he could do anything, an irresistible force pulled him in.
"Caught this kid!" Han Xiao spat out a mouthful of hot blood and grinned.
These changes seemed to have happened a long time ago, but in reality, they had happened in an extremely short period of time. If not for the Holy Covenant members deliberately going easy on him, he would not have been able to kill him so easily.
However, he had only succeeded halfway, and the problem was not completely solved.
"Follow me!"
Han Xiao put on the King and threw out a few backup items to Oathkeeper and the other Beyond Grade As who were good at mental strength.
The mechanical suits were automatically equipped. The next moment, Han Xiao shot out a few streams of Mechanical Force from his palm, activating the King mechanical suit on everyone.
With a flash of light, the few of them disappeared without a trace.
…
Plop!
Sorokin felt the world spin, and he fell onto a pitch-black rock ground.
This time, the unknown force pulling his Soul Body disappeared. Sorokin immediately flew up and looked around vigilantly. He did not know where Black Star had sent him.
His gaze quickly swept across the bustling land, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity surged in his heart.
Suddenly, Sorokin thought of something. His Soul Body trembled, and his expression changed drastically.
"Could this be … the Underworld?"
As a Primordial One during the exploration era, he had also heard of the two sisters and was not unfamiliar with the existence of the Underworld.
Sorokin's heart was filled with disbelief.
Aren't the two sisters already dead? Why does the Underworld still exist?
Why did Black Star send me to this place?
Just as he was shocked, Onicelu's figure appeared before him out of thin air, revealing a subtle smile that made Sorokin feel uneasy.
"Sh * t!"
Sorokin did not have time to think. He hurriedly retreated and charged into the sky, wanting to rush out of the Underworld.
If it was another secondary dimension, he would not be so afraid. However, all the Primordial Ones knew that all life forms that existed independently in the form of souls were strongly countered by the Underworld.
The Underworld was the nemesis of all souls! It was a forbidden land that all soul life forms feared!
Onicelu floated on the spot and did not chase after him. She only reached out her hand and clenched it tightly toward Sorokin's figure.
Hum!
The Underworld started to move according to her will. A strange force suddenly descended, and as if it was extremely heavy, all the heroic spirits in the Underworld were pressed to the ground.
Underworld — Soul Suppressor!
The Underworld had now recovered to its peak state. Onicelu was a professional when it came to dealing with souls!
Even though Sorokin's soul was extremely special and had the strength of a Beyond Grade A, under this special suppression, his flying speed instantly dropped by ninety percent.
Onicelu's smile did not change, and she tugged at the air.
Underworld — Soul Suppressor!
Dense Underworld power seeped out of the dark ground, turning into countless tentacles that shot into the sky, entangling Sorokin and trying to pull him down.
Souls could pass through all kinds of substances, but they could not pass through the Underworld power. Instead, they would be stuck. Sorokin tried his best to break free from the tentacles, but he could only remain in midair.
Hu!
At this time, a red tornado rose into the sky, revealing Hella's figure. She had been waiting for a long time.
"It's you!"
Sorokin was shocked. His soul was not immune to mental damage, and Hella happened to counter him.
"Get down!"
Hila's eyes sparkled. She waved her hand, and death energy shot out. Like a violent current, it washed away Sorokin's soul.
Sorokin fell onto the pitch-black ground. Onicelu curled her finger, and chains made from the power of the Underworld extended out of the ground. They pierced through Sorokin's soul and wrapped around him, locking him to the ground.
Just as Sorokin gritted his teeth and struggled to break free from the chains, a few figures suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Han Xiao, Oathkeeper, and the others, who had been teleported over by the King. They all took off their mechanical suits.
Seeing this, Han Xiao smiled. "Looks like you and my friends are having a lot of fun."
Sorokin saw Oathkeeper and Han Xiao appear together, and he was stunned.
At this moment, he understood everything.
"So, you guys are on the same side?"
Sorokin was shocked and furious. Without saying anything, he immediately tried to contact his manifestation, wanting to expose all the information immediately.
However, the next second, he was stunned again.
His connection with his manifestation was completely cut off!
"Why do you think I spent so much effort to get you in here? Here, unless the consciousness of the Underworld allows it, no one can send soul signals to the outside world. Oathkeeper doesn't have absolute confidence in blocking your ability, but the Underworld can. "
Han Xiao lightly stomped on the black rock under his feet.
"After all … the original function of the Underworld was to be a cage!"
