Chapter 669: Cyberks VS Demons (3)

The tactical proficiency, technological power, and that absolute, fear-ignoring cold efficiency displayed by the opponent far exceeded his expectations.

Although the Demon was already at a disadvantage, considering his status as a Great Demon, Hudaiqiao still let out a heavy, cold snort.

"Hmph! Consider yourselves lucky this time! You are nothing but trash that has gained self-awareness; I won't let you escape so easily next time! Once I find your so-called Sage, I will tear it to pieces!"

Responding to him was only the sight of the Cyberks quickly disappearing into the thick sulfurous smoke.

Hudaiqiao looked at the chaotic battlefield—the remains of Lesser Demons slaughtered with high efficiency, the fragments of Blood Claw Demons easily dismembered, and that gate which had been precisely cut open—his expression so gloomy it was almost dripping water.

With a hook of his finger, a trace of faint, nearly dissipating energy was extracted from the position where the A-77Z Assault Giant Soldier had previously stood.

"This energy... it is disgustingly pure."

He muttered to himself, his previous contempt gone, replaced by a cold vigilance and a re-evaluation.

"It seems that taking over this mess is... much more troublesome than imagined. By the Shenyuan, these Cyberks are a bit thorny."

As he spoke, Hudaiqiao's gaze swept toward the battlefield nearest to him, and his entire body merged into the darkness.

A Saiboke Buxing Liandui was attacked by a group of Lesser Demons dozens of times their number while advancing.

"1 minute, quickly eliminate these Lesser Demons; the recyclable materials on them are not worth our expenditure of additional ammunition."

Following the simple analysis by the Cyberk Company Commander B76Q7, the Energy Rifles in the hands of the Cyberk Infantry behind him emitted a low charging pulse sound.

Several Cyberk Infantry in the squad also surrounded this group of Lesser Demons from the flanks, placing energy devices around them to block the Demons' connection to the Magic Cloud.

"Initiate Qingchao Xieyi."

As B76Q7's order was issued, the Cyberk Infantry setting up the blocking devices immediately placed square energy blocks into the slots of the devices one by one.

As a pale blue Energy Force Field enveloped the group of Lesser Demons, the Cyberk Infantry directly in front opened fire rapidly.

Specially made high-explosive Energy Bombs cut through the sulfur-scented air, covering the swaths of Lesser Demons.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Firelight, shockwaves, and scorching energy fragments completely plowed through that area.

Soil and gravel mixed with purple filthy blood, twisted bone blade fragments, and charred Demon limbs splattered everywhere.

The air was instantly filled with a thick, foul stench of ozone, sulfur, and burnt flesh.

A few Lesser Demons that had luckily dodged the first round of bombing and crawled out from the edge emitted shrill shrieks, waving burning claws as they pounced toward the nearest Cyberk Infantry.

Their speed was astonishingly fast under the enhancement of Black Qi, their eyes burning with bloodthirsty madness.

The targeted Cyberk soldier D867X did not dodge or retreat in the slightest.

His sensors instantly captured the Lesser Demon's movement trajectory and attack pattern.

Just as the Lesser Demon's claws were about to scratch the silver armor, D867X's left arm lifted at an inhuman speed and angle, and a small, high-strength Hejin Bizhun instantly popped out from the outer side of the forearm!

Clang! Sizzle—!

The burning magic claws grabbed hard onto the arm shield, emitting a harsh scraping sound and the sizzling sound of energy erosion, yet they did not leave a single mark on the arm shield.

At the same time, D867X's right-hand Energy Rifle pressed against the Lesser Demon's chest, and he pulled the trigger!

Pfft!

A high-intensity Energy Beam penetrated the Lesser Demon's chest cavity at close range, exploding a charred hole the size of a bowl in its back!

The Lesser Demon's howling stopped abruptly, the evil fire in its eyes extinguished instantly, and it went limp.

"Threat cleared."

D867X's voice was without a ripple, the arm shield retracted, and the muzzle turned toward the next potential threat direction; in his eyes, that Lesser Demon was merely a piece of insignificant trash being processed.

The purple filthy blood stained on his armor was being rapidly decomposed and evaporated by the nano-active coating on the surface.

On the other side, two elite Demons attempted to flank a Cyberk Infantryman, DH763, who was setting up a blocking device.

They coordinated tacitly, one feinting from the front to attract attention, while the other lunged out from the shadows behind!

DH763's sensors had already marked both targets.

Facing the frontal feint, he did not even turn his muzzle.

The moment the sensors behind him captured the sneak attacker, the micro-thrusters at his ankles ignited instantly, and his whole body performed a precise, physics-defying small-angle lateral slide!

The elite Demon that launched the sneak attack missed, crashing hard into a charred broken wall.

While sliding, DH763 already had his Energy Rifle pointed behind him, and an Energy Beam precisely shot into the back of the elite Demon's head as it missed its target.

Immediately after, the muzzle turned back to the front without the slightest delay, and the moment the Lesser Demon feinting from the front was stunned, an Energy Beam pierced through its brow.

The entire process was smooth and efficient, without a single wasted movement.

"46 seconds, cleanup complete, collect the Demon remains, maximize rational utilization."

B76Q7's voice sounded in the local area network communication channel, and the Cyberk Infantry who finished the battle began to collect the remains of the killed Demons.

Eighth Defense Zone Outer City Demon-occupied area.

A twelve-man Saiboke Zhencha Buxing Dui was moving silently through a ruin in a wedge formation.

"Detected high concentration of Demon energy ahead, distance: 80 meters.

Energy signature: mixed."

The voice of the scout DN451 sounded in the local area network communication channel.

"Confirmed. Target located in the ruins, suspected ambush point. Execute assault plan."

The order from Captain C952J sounded in the communication channel.

The formation of this squad changed rapidly.

C952J took five Cyberk Infantry to find the nearest cover, set up their Energy Rifles, and pointed their muzzles at the position where the Demons were hiding.

The six soldiers in the rear squad quickly dispersed, like agile spiders, using their ankle thrusters and the suction devices on their fingertips to silently occupy high shooting positions, with blocking devices placed beside them, ready to be activated at any time.

The entire process was completed within 5 seconds, without a single extra sound or light exposure.

The moment they finished the deployment, the Black Fog in front surged violently!

A large group of twisted Lesser Demons rushed out from the fog like a tide! Their scarlet eyes flickered in the dimness, their claws burning with Hellfire waving as they lunged straight at the Cyberk soldiers behind the cover!

"Open fire! Suppression mode, cover the charge path!"

C952J opened fire first, and the five Cyberk Infantry beside him also rapidly vented their firepower toward the charging Lesser Demons.

The bodies of the Lesser Demons struck by the energy beams instantly developed bowl-sized charred holes, and filthy purple blood and shattered internal organs sprayed out!

The charging wave of Demons fell into chaos when faced with the powerful firepower formation displayed by the Cyberk Infantry.

Almost at the same time the cover team opened fire, the Cyberk Infantry occupying the nearby high ground also opened fire rapidly after activating their disruption devices!

Pfft-pfft-pfft-pfft-pfft—!

The shots from above accurately struck the tops of the Lesser Demons' heads, their napes, and their spines!

Every time a blue light flashed, a Lesser Demon's skull would explode like a rotten watermelon, or its spine would be severed, leaving it to collapse onto the ground.

The field-of-view advantage of the Cyberk soldiers on the high ground allowed them to calmly pick off the Demons attempting to bypass the cover or attack their companions.

"Roar—!"

A violent roar drowned out the shrieks of the Lesser Demons!

The Black Fog was pushed aside by a brute force, and two Demon Lords, nearly 6 meters tall with knotted muscles, charged out!

They wore black battle armor, burned with even hotter Hellfire, and brandished massive, bone-spiked flails in their hands that were also wreathed in Hellfire, moving much faster than the Lesser Demons!

The energy beams hitting their Hellfire-burning armor did not directly pierce through the Berserker Demon armor, but instead caused the Hellfire on the armor to burn even more fiercely.
