This is really not mechanical ascension-Chapter 46 - First Glimpse of Brilliance!

The three who had just landed moved just as swiftly, throwing two triangular metal blocks beneath them, their tips emitting lasers quickly connecting to form a glowing blue barrier that covered them, blocking the bullets.

“The people from this little place are not to be underestimated…”, the person on the right spoke in a formal interstellar common language.

The figure on the left coldly said, “If you hadn’t wasted time, we would have been done by now.”

“Their reinforcements are arriving, we need a quick resolution.” The central figure, apparently the leader, clad in a full-body silver combat suit, scanned the surroundings.

In his hands, he held someone looking terrified.

As soon as he finished speaking, a series of bullet-lights, like a fire dragon from the skies, shot down, with four shuttle-like flying vehicles hovering nearby.

The light blue screen in front of them crackled and flashed with electricity, seemingly on the brink of failure.

“Reinforcements have arrived!”

The city guard who had landed earlier relaxed his expression, the crowd around him having mostly dispersed, those who hadn’t come out hiding in their homes, some even daring to peek out.

“Bai Yu, control the flying machines with the terminal from here to pressure them.

Li Ming, Li Ning, the two of you flank from the left…” Old Diao’s expression was tense, the four of them having already disembarked from the flying vehicles, crouching behind a flower bed.

“This is a residential area, we cannot allow them to escape!”

“Understood.”

“They are all F-grade life forms, with many tricks up their sleeves,” a stranger’s voice came through the channel, “I am Zhang Yuan, from team one.”

“Old Diao, team seven, none of us are F-grade life forms, we can only delay them, waiting for others to arrive, the energy barrier is about to break, get ready to fire.”

“Don’t shoot!” Zhang Yuan hastily intervened, “They’ve got the son of Chief Feng Ke—Feng Xiao.”

“What?

The son of Chief Feng?” Old Diao was stunned and couldn’t help asking, “What are the internal affair’s people messing around at now?”

“I don’t know, he has a hundred thousand bounty on him,” Zhang Yuan said helplessly, “It’s troublesome now.”

“All of you, get the hell out of the way, if we can’t leave, this kid will die very soon!” one of them grabbed Feng Xiao by the skull, bent down to his ear, his eyes sinister, “Look, their gunfire is continuous.

Once this barrier breaks, you will be the first to die here.”

Feng Xiao, originally terrified, on hearing this, suddenly roared loudly, “You idiots, stop right now, do you want to kill me!?”

“Damn it!” Old Diao frowned, calling out in a heavy voice, “Bai Yu, stop!”

The four shuttle-shaped flying vehicles immediately ceased firing, their gun barrels slowly retracting.

However, the next moment

Bang!

Bang!

Bang—

Three shots rang out non-stop, followed by several “boom” sounds as three flying vehicles turned into massive fireballs, plummeting to the ground, then exploding into even larger flames.

The lead man, holding a bulky silver revolver, aimed at Feng Ke’s head and said coldly, “You have one minute to land that remaining flying vehicle in front of me, otherwise his head will explode.”

“Do as he says,” Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth.

Old Diao, stifled with anger, could only instruct Bai Yu to remotely control the flying vehicle to land.

Just as the flying vehicle was landing, the angle of its descent momentarily created a blind spot for the three men.

Zhang Yuan’s eyes flashed coldly, and in an instant, he leapt out ten meters, his skin turning a pale blue.

The already short distance between the two parties closed in the blink of an eye, his hefty electric baton crashing down onto the shoulders of the lead man.

Crackling!

The leader’s face slightly changed, his arm numbing, Feng Xiao hit the ground, and his escape was swift, dashing out in an instant.

He too was an F-grade life form.

Zhang Yuan’s movements didn’t stop; his left hand had already drawn a pistol, and he fired head-on.

Clang!

Sparks flew as Zhang Yuan’s eyes widened.

Scales like metal armor plates converged on his forehead, forming a face shield, and the bullet was deflected.

Bang!

The person on the left acted, roaring out loud as he fiercely kicked toward Zhang Yuan, while the person on the right unfolded a metal folding knife and viciously hacked down!

“Bang!” Zhang Yuan’s body was sent flying, and a large gash was torn into his shoulder, blood dripping down his arm.

Ignoring everything else, he rolled abruptly, blasting a small hole on the spot, as the leader’s revolver smoked, his face looking awful.

“Attack!” Old Diao bellowed, and at the same time, Zhang Yuan’s three men hidden in the shadows and Li Ming’s trio opened fire simultaneously.

In an instant, gunfire was relentless, stray bullets flew everywhere, and the Bounty Hunters team quickly split up to find cover.

“Chase!

We need them alive!” the leader roared, as Feng Xiao was their only chance to get out of there.

“Run!

Run!

Run!” Feng Xiao was utterly panicked, unable to discern any direction, just knowing to run.

“Here, here!” Li Ning waved his hand, calling urgently.

With a guide now, Feng Xiao clumsily fled in the direction of the voice.

“Gentlemen, once Feng Xiao gets here, we’ll…” Li Ning’s words were cut off when he suddenly felt the world spinning around and found himself thrown through the air.

“Block them!

Block them!” Feng Xiao’s face contorted wildly, recklessly throwing Li Ning toward the pursuers behind them.

Li Ming’s expression suddenly turned cold, and Old Diao’s eyes nearly popped out!

The two men behind were already catching up, their metal folding knives unfolded, ready to mercilessly slice Li Ning apart.

“Is…

is this it?” As his vision spun, Li Ning hardly had time to feel any other emotions, only sensing his death was ludicrously imminent.

Thud!

He fell to the ground, rolling several times, pain assaulting him—Li Ning was somewhat dazed, not dead?

Then, his pupils contracted as a figure stood before him at some point, lifting an arm, actually catching the descending metal folding knife with his hand.

Li Ning was shocked, then yelled, “Li…

Li Ming!?”

It was as if he had seen something incomprehensible.

Another person’s pupils contracted but did not linger, instead rushing straight toward the direction Feng Xiao had fled.

He knew that today’s only way out lay with Feng Xiao.

Li Ming watched the man before him, his palm clenched tightly, the immense power eliciting a wailing from the opponent.

What he was holding was not the metal folding knife but the man’s wrist, the sound of bones crushing echoed, and the metal folding knife fell from his hand, which Li Ming smoothly caught.

Then, a barely noticeable deep blue electric arc burst forth, the opponent’s body stiffened suddenly, as Li Ming’s hand moved, the knife slicing across his neck, blood spurting.

The head rolled to a stop before Li Ning, followed by the collapsing corpse.

Li Ning blinked, and the head on the ground still stared with open eyes.

Was this an F-level life form?

Did Li Ming just slice it, and it died?

Not just him, the entire scene fell into deathly silence.

Old Diao had stood up by now, his eyes wide in disbelief, this…

how could Li Ming…

Zhang Yuan’s brows were furrowed.

Hadn’t they said this team had no F-level life forms?

The young man looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

But now was not the time for reminiscing; he reminded his team members to stay alert on the channel while quickly heading in the direction of the other person’s pursuit.

The leader’s face dramatically changed, staring intensely at Li Ming, his cheeks twitching, his eyes filled with fear.
