"Let me see how many Evil Soul Masters there are." Arthur had a murderous expression. The Excalibur in his hand hummed, and he began to call the roll of the dead.
"Boom!"
A massive Light Cannon fell, instantly blasting a mecha bearing the Green Skeleton insignia into dust.
"One."
Arthur showed no mercy and swung again.
The holy sword drew a brilliant arc of light in mid-air. The golden sword energy bloomed like a small sun, instantly swallowing the second mecha with the Green Skeleton insignia.
"Boom—!"
A violent explosion erupted in the air. The mecha's wreckage vaporized directly in the high temperature, leaving not a single fragment behind.
"Two."
His voice was cold and calm.
The third skeleton mecha tried to dodge, only to find its movements becoming unusually Slow under an invisible force.
"You can't run."
The holy sword flicked lightly.
A slender yet incredibly sharp sword light pierced through the air, accurately penetrating the mecha's cockpit.
"Boom!"
The green flames were instantly extinguished, and the mecha lost control, falling from the sky.
"Three."
He didn't pause for a moment. The holy sword in his hand continued to swing, golden Light Cannons and sword energy falling alternately without any delay.
Every strike was accompanied by the destruction of a mecha.
"Four... five... six..."
Whether they were black mechas or purple mechas, they all turned to ashes under the Light Cannon.
The battlefield quickly quieted down under his slaughter. The mecha pilots of the Star Luo Guard stared blankly at the figure of light in the sky.
After bringing the students to safety, Wu Zhangkong came to Arthur's side. "Let's go help the teacher first."
Arthur glanced at the completely scattered Green Skeleton mecha swarm below and nodded. "Alright."
The figure of light instantly soared into the sky, flying toward the high-altitude battlefield with Wu Zhangkong.
High above, Zhuo Shi was fighting the god-level mecha. Crimson-gold Dragon flames and green flames intertwined in the air, each collision erupting in blinding light.
Zhuo Shi wasn't afraid of a head-on clash at all, but the opponent was extremely fast, so he was being held back.
As Arthur and Wu Zhangkong joined the battlefield, the situation reversed instantly. Neither of them needed to exert much effort; just by their positioning, they compressed the god-level mecha's dodging space and restricted its speed.
The god-level mecha had originally relied on its extreme speed and maneuverability to tie down Zhuo Shi.
Now locked in a triangular formation by the three of them, every change in direction was obstructed by Arthur and Wu Zhangkong, forcing it to constantly Slow down and adjust its posture.
"Roar—!"
Zhuo Shi seized the opportunity. His Dragon Claw lunged out, and Crimson-gold Dragon flames condensed into substance between his claws, striking the god-level mecha fiercely.
"Freeze." Arthur shouted inwardly. The surrounding space contracted, freezing the god-level mecha's movements for a split second.
This brief moment was enough for top-tier experts.
Zhuo Shi's Dragon Claw pierced through the mecha, ending the battle.
"The Materials used for this god-level mecha aren't good enough." Arthur shook his head. Compared to Mu Ye's little red, it was a world of difference.
Zhuo Shi withdrew his Dragon Claw and said indifferently, "What do you mean the Materials aren't good enough? Can't it be that I'm just powerful?"
Wu Zhangkong, standing aside, undercut him: "This mecha is indeed not good enough."
He critiqued: "It's likely a cobbled-together piece by the Evil Soul Masters. The core technology was stolen, and the Materials are mixed with a lot of junk alloy."
Arthur nodded. "Rats are like that; they can only scavenge for trash."
Zhuo Shi looked at the two of them playing off each other, his face darkening as he turned to leave. If this mecha was so belittled, what did that make him for being held back by it?
The soul tool train was unscathed because of Arthur.
However, the nearby tracks were severely damaged and clearly unusable.
The Star Luo Empire sent luxury soul tool buses to pick them up and left several hundred mechas as a guard detail.
This attack came suddenly. Fortunately, there were only injuries and no deaths. The figure of light wasn't recognized as Arthur; they only thought it was a teacher from Shrek Academy following in secret.
Nevertheless, it involved two continents after all, making it a serious diplomatic incident.
Inside the bus, Xu Xiaoyan patted her chest. "That was close. I really didn't expect there to be so many Evil Soul Masters on the Star Luo Continent as well."
Xie Xie replied, "They weren't Evil Soul Masters. I just got the news."
"The ones who attacked us are an organization called 'Green Skeleton'. They are a resistance force within the Star Luo Empire, quite powerful, occupying two strategically important provinces."
Arthur said disdainfully, "Aren't those just Evil Soul Masters?"
Xie Xie fell silent. He used to dare to bicker with Arthur, but now, if he did, he'd be beaten to death by Na'er's iron fists.
Gu Yue's voice was flat. "This attack was clearly intended to provoke conflict between the Federation and the Star Luo Empire, giving themselves more opportunities to develop."
"Alright, alright, thinking about these things is a headache." Xu Xiaoyan shook her head, her twin tails swaying. "Let the higher-ups worry about these things."
"Higher-ups?"
This reminded Arthur—he was a higher-up.
His eyes lit up. After arriving at the Star Luo capital, he definitely had to extort a huge sum... Under the escort of the mecha brigade, the rest of the journey was smooth and peaceful.
Two days later, they arrived at the capital of the Star Luo Empire, Star Luo City.
Star Luo City looked more like a city from ancient times.
It retained its city walls, which were densely covered with soul tool weapon defense Systems.
After entering the city, the style changed.
A modern urban atmosphere rushed towards them. People came and went on the streets. Aside from the architectural style and clothing being slightly different from the Douluo Continent, there wasn't much difference overall.
Arthur and the others were arranged to stay at the luxurious Star Luo Hotel. Perhaps to soothe their emotions after the diplomatic mission was attacked, even the students were given extremely luxurious suites.
The architecture of the Star Luo Hotel used gold and white as its primary colors, being magnificent and extremely luxurious everywhere.
Arthur lay on the bed, pondering how to wipe out the Green Skeleton.
Suddenly, the bed sank. Snapping back to his senses, Gu Yue was already sitting on his waist.
This familiar scene... Arthur instinctively tried to sit up, but Gu Yue pressed down on his shoulders.
"Don't move."
Her voice was very low, tinged with laziness and danger. "If you move again, this Queen will have your head."
Arthur: "Gu Yue?"
He couldn't help but wonder if Gu Yue really had a split personality.
Gu Yue leaned down, her silver eyes appearing exceptionally eerie at close range. She looked around Arthur's face as if admiring a trophy.
"Did you forget what happened last night?" she said calmly. "Call me Queen."
Last night?
What does this mean?
"Queen," Arthur gave a dry laugh. "Wasn't that two months ago?"
Gu Yue narrowed her eyes, a cold light flashing in her silver pupils. "Are you questioning this Queen?"
Her finger tapped lightly on Arthur's chest. The Golden Dragon King Pendant, which had just started to glow, dimmed again.
At the same time, it made Arthur instantly unable to move.
"You deserve punishment."
Gu Yue lowered her head.
Arthur was out of options.
This woman is a total addict.
