Legend of the Cyber Heroes
Chapter 543 - 543 187 Descent Battle
543: Chapter 187: Descent Battle 543: Chapter 187: Descent Battle Xiang Shan’s entire body was plastered against the glass curtain wall as he descended.
The originally smooth and mirror-like curtain wall parted like ripples.
The peeled-off fragments splashed, resembling waves vertical to the ground.
Xiang Shan’s heels, of course, were also skimming the edge of the floor.
However, being a several-ton cybernetically enhanced person, not a Natural Person, such a small contact area was insufficient for him to stand on the floor.
The intense impact would instead tear off a small chunk from the floor.
But Xiang Shan did not plan to enter the building, facing those numerous enemies.
This was his escape route!
Moving within the central building seemed safer but was actually not.
Inside the building were filled with members of the Six Dragons Sect.
Both the number and strength of these people were unclear.
And, “Dense Formation” is the natural nemesis of Martial Arts.
If there were a group of AI Martial Artists swarming him inside, his martial arts skills wouldn’t have room to be utilized.
Outside the building was much more open.
Moreover, although various firebases appeared to be set up by the ground forces, they would not use heavy artillery to directly bombard the building.
Heavy artillery would also damage the giant structure itself.
If they damaged some key structure, it could cause the building to collapse outright.
With several kilometers separating Xiang Shan and the ground forces, he was not afraid of their small-caliber firepower at that distance.
Outside the high-rise, he could quickly descend to the ground, then carve a bloody path…
—Ah.
Something caught by the prosthetic eye behind Xiang Shan, he tapped a foot at the edge of the window.
He accelerated his descent, then skimmed past a stream of bullets.
Although the sounds of battle exploded from every floor of the building, Xiang Shan himself was clear, inside were a group of Six Dragons Sect members pretending to fight fiercely.
They knew Xiang Shan was descending down the external wall, so just guarding this direction, they could always wait for Xiang Shan.
They just needed to pick up their weapon and aim outside the window.
These Six Dragons Sect members didn’t even need to break through any defense.
If the kinetic energy of bullets and missiles pushed Xiang Shan sideways for a distance, he would no longer be able to approach the surface of the building, couldn’t stabilize, and would just plummet straight down.
Over the next dozen floors, Xiang Shan encountered gunfire four times and also dodged a wave of micro missiles.
Xiang Shan’s descent was very fast, so those attacking had a very narrow window of opportunity.
But as these people were distracting, the Six Dragons Sect’s defenders, Banner Leader, and Guardian Zhi who had previously surrounded Xiang Shan also caught up.
These people employed the same descending technique as Xiang Shan.
Above the glass curtain wall, five white lines rapidly extended.
Guardian Zhi felt his condition was better than ever before.
—This is a great master.
He had this feeling during their hand-to-hand combat earlier.
This was an enemy he would struggle to defeat even with his full strength, not only possessing unimaginable Inner Strength but shockingly strong external strength as well.
But this was what he was after!
Guardian Zhi extended his long arms, the armor on the outside of his arms opening, dozens of micro missiles hissed out like a swarm of bees leaving the nest.
He also had a larger rectangular box on his left shoulder that housed two single-soldier anti-vehicle missiles, which, after a few seconds delay, also ignited and shot out.
The prosthetic eye on Xiang Shan’s back sensed the activity.
His two sturdy arms softly extended like Tai Chi.
With just a slight shake, his ten fingers were filled with large hardened glass shards.
His lower body remained still, his upper body rotated in place, more than ten reinforced glass pieces shot out like bullets, embedding into the missile swarm.
Several missiles were merely knocked off course by these hidden weapons, but in such a dense missile swarm, just one micro missile explosion would trigger a chain of sympathetic detonations.
Blast Wind had formed behind Xiang Shan.
With his arms spread upward, he used the wind to slightly accelerate.
Then, a single soldier missile rushed out of the Blast Wind.
Compared to the micro missile, this single soldier missile was like comparing a bee to a hawk.
This missile wouldn’t be easily set off to explode prematurely.
Moreover, there was a wire connecting the tail of the missile to the launcher.
Within hundreds of meters, this missile could be controlled by wire!
The members of the Six Dragons Sect were blocked by the blast just now and had slightly slowed down.
But the missile kept coming.
Xiang Shan rolled on the curtain wall, and when he rose again, he had a steel rebar in his hand, mixed with a few chunks of cement pulled instantaneously from the floor.
This action made him slow down again.
However, Xiang Shan quickly turned around and threw the steel rebar.
The missile was diverted and flew toward a direction away from Xiang Shan.
But it adjusted its course quickly.
Xiang Shan changed direction on the curtain wall and continued downward.
The Banner Leader was very excited, “That’s right, Guardian Zhi, we can win…”
Suddenly, Xiang Shan stopped his descent and stood firm on the wall.
Not all of the outer walls of the central building in Secluded Crane City were made of glass curtain walls.
In fact, glass curtain walls were only a part of it.
Glass curtain walls and alloy walls each occupied a part.
The integration of different materials also played a decorative role.
Sparks erupted from Xiang Shan’s feet due to his abrupt stop, and his body contracted, leaning close to the wall.
In that instant, the missile brushed past Xiang Shan.
Zhili Jiliu hadn’t managed to detonate the missile, but Xiang Shan was in control of the situation.
He swung his hand back with a sword and cut off the metal wire.
The built-in AI of the missile controlled it to change direction after being disconnected from the wire.
But Xiang Shan stepped forward, and in the moment the missile changed direction and its speed drastically reduced, he brought his sword down.
The warhead of the missile was directly chopped off, unable to explode.
Xiang Shan stood straight up on the wall!
Guardian Zhi realized immediately what was happening.
The Hero’s feet must have electromagnets or high polymer viscous material.
These technologies could keep him standing on the wall.
Natural People, even those with similar technology, would find it hard to do this.
Their leg muscles, core muscle groups, are not strong enough to support this movement.
Even if a few specially trained individuals could perform this momentarily, these muscles could not maintain the effort for long.
Human bodies, after all, are adapted to the downward force of gravity.
But Cybernetically Enhanced People don’t have such limitations.
Xiang Shan did not continue to go down but held his Sonicon Blade, turning back to observe the Sect’s Defenders of the Six Dragons.
With the reactor equipped, the energy inside him was endless; naturally, his feet were equipped with electromagnets.
These could help him cling to the exteriors of various vehicles or even use kicks to latch onto some lightweight Cybernetically Enhanced enemies.
So, he could also stroll effortlessly on a metal outer wall.
This place was open and convenient for movement, a good spot for a decisive battle.
As long as this group was dealt with, the retreat would be much easier.
Xiang Shan planned to finish off these followers of the Six Dragons Sect right here.
