Chapter 654 Chapter 651 Battle of Baden-Powell (Part )
The armor-piercing hammer swung down, and Baden-Powell met it with his arm. The armor plate there shattered in a shower of sparks. He waved his elbow and hit Zhuang Xuteng's side under the acceleration of blue lightning. The shield with disintegration effect completely blocked all kinetic energy, which allowed Zhuang Xuteng to not move at all and he could continue to attack.

"This is impossible! Why wasn't he beaten out directly?" Anzu saw the live broadcast and analyzed it with the slightly delayed data, and found it difficult to understand the various anomalies in this battle. "Look! Did you notice? The rain stopped completely near the contact surface of the attack and lost all kinetic energy at once! What caused this? Some kind of shadow follower spell?"

"The intelligence center believes that this is the result of high-speed and high-burst implants. When Baden-Powell's attack arrived, Nike used the implant to meet it in a hedging manner. High-speed and high-burst implants have a negative impact on the human body. An extremely short protection time, and he uses that time of protection to neutralize the opponent's attack."

Baden-Powell looked at his liaison officer, his expression becoming very solemn. He punched forward briefly to feel the rhythm of the punch, then activated his own high-speed high-burst implant for a short dash and punched as well.

"No...it's not quite right. From the function of the implant, it does have a protection time when it is activated, but its existence time is extremely short and it is almost impossible to be used in actual combat. Another key point is: Nike is in the original Did he use a high-speed, high-explosion implant? How could he activate the implant without any displacement? It is impossible for the implant to understand his command, so it would not activate... Wait, he will not change. The underlying setup of the implant, right?”

The personnel of the Intelligence Analysis Center wrote Anzu's ideas into "guess information", and the system began to run wildly. Countless people provided brainpower for this project. The company's core technology is the shadow implant, and the underlying settings are top secrets. There are no more than a hundred people in the world who know this technology, and their lives are all firmly controlled by the company. The intelligence system finally came to the conclusion that "the guess is impossible", but before that, Anzu discovered a new problem.

Baden-Powell's third auxiliary died, still inexplicably and without any external injuries. Logistics personnel could not enter the scene to collect the bodies until the battle was over, so the intelligence center did not know what happened. But at this moment, the three corpses began to burn. A dazzling bright white light rose from the corpse's head and quickly spread down the body. This light, this phenomenon of burning despite heavy rain, is most likely due to thermite reaction. Zhuang Xuteng had a thermite attack weapon called Palm Fire, which was included in the intelligence. Everyone just didn't know how he achieved the attack on three people.

"Someone is covering up battlefield intelligence!" Anzu said: "Is the combat support team in place? When it arrives, send it directly without asking for instructions. Not there yet? Let them come as quickly as possible. What? The aircraft was struck by lightning. Oh, three of the four engines are broken? What kind of luck is this? Sure enough..."

The final struggle for world consciousness, the final threshold for the company to control the world, all luck is tilting towards Zhuang Xuteng - this is Anzu's theory and the result of the comprehensive analysis of all the company's think tanks. When this phenomenon occurs, the company must do its best to suppress and destroy it so that it cannot continue to grow. As long as this step is successful, no one can challenge the company's authority.

"Fly over and prepare for battle. If Baden-Powell loses, I will take over the battle immediately." Anzu gave the order, and then walked towards the charging seat. There is still a period of time where he can adjust his condition to the best.

Zhuang Xuteng and Baden-Powell were locked in a bitter battle, with each other attacking and defending, but it was Zhuang Xuteng who had the upper hand and took the initiative. He used the disintegration effect to defend against attacks that were really unavoidable, and the armor-piercing hammer shattered Baden-Powell's defense bit by bit, obviously making some progress. However, he consumes a lot of mana, as well as physical energy and energy. Although the sensory tentacles are constantly absorbing the vitality of the surrounding residents for replenishment, the consumption is too fast and the replenishment cannot keep up.

Seeing Zhuang Xuteng's tired look, Baden-Powell felt that the gap between them was only between the same. So he suddenly accelerated his retreat and made a 360-degree turn while retreating, taking off the exoskeleton armor. His overall exoskeleton frame is like a tall giant, but it is mostly covered with damage scars left by armor-piercing hammers.

After being separated from the exoskeleton, Baden-Powell's weight was reduced by one-fifth, and his overall speed was improved. Without the highly protective shell, sharp thorns protruded from his forearms, knees, and heels, turning into a tall and flexible "thorn head."

With the addition of these weapons, his inhuman movement method was immediately strengthened. You must know that Zhuang Xuteng is a genius in martial arts. He always has some fantastic ideas and can also practice new tricks on his own. Baden-Powell had no talent in this area, but he had a strong team.

Establish a model based on his body movement data, obtain the optimal action control plan through a large number of calculations, and obtain a set of algorithm-based martial arts. This martial art has extremely high movement efficiency and continuous attacks. Whether it is the control surface, the strike surface or the damage surface, the algorithm has been reached to the extreme.

Zhuang Xuteng immediately became clumsy. He was forced to retreat continuously by the algorithmic martial arts. He was even concentrated several times on his body, and seven or eight cracks appeared in his armor jacket. You must know that the disintegration effect can indeed achieve near-complete defense and be able to withstand various attacks, but Zhuang Xuteng cannot always wrap the disintegration effect around his body. At most, he can only use it as a temporary shield. As long as it is a shield, even an indestructible shield will have flaws. Baden-Powell's algorithmic martial arts were combined with strange body movements. Many attacks were launched from unpredictable angles. He even often used one set of attacks to cover another, making Zhuang Xuteng unable to defend himself.

"Attention, he has broken through the defense! Attack deeper and cut off his muscles and bones. Don't always stop at the surface."

These were the last words of Baden-Powell's last auxiliary before his brain was shattered by Miss Sick. Miss Sick completed four kills and set her next target as an airship. Previously, the airship was disguised as an advertising balloon and turned on its invisibility function, thus evading Zhuang Xuteng's supervision. Now that it had lowered its target and was firmly locked onto the sentient tentacles, Sick Lady entered a flash state and began to teleport upward.

The disconnection of four of his closest comrades made Baden-Powell quite angry, but the excitement did not strengthen his strength or enhance his martial skills. Algorithmic martial arts are all based on algorithms, which contain only mathematics and no passion. Baden-Powell is only the bearer of this martial arts, not even the controller.

The secret of martial arts lies in the support of computing power. Baden-Powell's computing power is supported by the airship. Miss Sick accidentally found his weakness.

Just when Baden-Powell grasped the offensive and finally hit Zhuang Xuteng's shoulder with the sharp knife, he discovered a terrifying phenomenon: Zhuang Xuteng's armored coat was cut open without any accident, and the skin was penetrated, but the razor blade could not separate it. Opening up the muscles just creates a cascade of sparks. Is there a mezzanine at that location? It felt like there was nothing, but it just couldn't be cut through.

Bone Shield is an invisible and qualitative layer hidden under the skin that protects muscles and bones. Although it is not as hard as the disintegration effect and cannot block attacks indefinitely, it is located near the nerves of the skin. Attacks to this area will definitely be felt and there will be no suddenness at all. As long as you can detect an attack, you can respond. During the training process, the super-computing martial arts suppressed all the conditioned reflexes developed in the first stage. They were suppressed at this level. This is the conditioned reflex of Zhuang Xuteng's bottom line.

After tearing open Zhuang Xuteng's clothes and skin, Baden-Powell noticed a phenomenon: Did this guy only break the skin without bleeding? In fact, it was not that there was no bleeding, but that the recovery was too fast. Zhuang Xuteng wrapped himself in Wraith Spirit Jelly, used the Wraith Spirit Tentacles as sutures for surgery, pinched the wound and used the regeneration ability brought by Necromancy to heal the wound. His skin is just normal human skin, with more developed nerves at most, without any composition or structure beyond that of ordinary people. When he used the tens of thousands of people in four blocks to create a resilience pool for himself, the wound would heal in a few seconds, at least on the surface there seemed to be no problem. "How many abilities does he have yet to use?!" Anzu was sitting on the charging chair. He could no longer maintain his composure. He roared and stood up excitedly, even breaking open the connected energy pipes. "Elizabeth Xiao, what kind of stinky thing did you investigate! If you haven't found out so many things, what's the use! What's the use of keeping them! Waste! Waste!"

"Lord Anzu, do you want to clean up..."

"That's the one I just promoted. Isn't dealing with her a slap in the face? Let's watch this battle first and then talk about it later!" Anzu frowned and said, "Are the support personnel in place? Does Baden-Powell know? Know?"

"Badenberg requested the use of wide-area war shackles. He reported that his followers were under great pressure and their combat effectiveness was about to decline."

Anzu was speechless for a moment, sighed and said: "I didn't expect...I agreed to his request, asked the support personnel to distance themselves, and asked the combat airship to open the protection. War shackles...Badenberg has never used it on me."

In fact, it's not that I didn't use it, but that I really didn't have time. Anzu's speed was too fast, and it could also disable the Shadow Servant, leaving no chance for the War Shackles to be used. This war shackle is very particular about the timing of its use. The first one is that the opponent must not be allowed to run away and must maintain control while charging.

Feeling the familiar energy fluctuations on Baden-Powell's body, Zhuang Xuteng immediately recognized them as war shackles. There is only one way to deal with War Shackles, and that is War Shackles 2. He snorted coldly, waited for a second, and then activated the war shackles of the Eye of Kaho. Baden-Powell seemed indifferent to this, and even showed a little joy. He stepped up his attack and used his algorithmic martial arts to form a pincer offensive, blocking Zhuang Xuteng's movement.

The battle between two people is almost always in a high-speed and high-explosive state. The overflowing impact destroys the surrounding roads and buildings, leaving behind them flames and wreckage. Cars on the roadside kept blaring sirens due to vibrations, and fire alarms and residents screamed one after another. It should be said that the company's environmental control was good. Traffic was stopped at a long distance. The eternal red light saved the lives of many drivers, allowing them to see explosions, fighting and chaos, and giving them the opportunity to turn around and escape.

But the shackles of wide-area warfare are coming. A strong blast of radiation energy spread out, sweeping through the surrounding three blocks. Wherever it passed, all the equipment stopped working, all the energy stopped running, darkness became the protagonist here, and the sounds of heavy rain, collapse and fire undoubtedly became the absolute winner.

The crying stopped, because the people who had the implants installed were shocked. Some people who used the dream fog machine even died directly in their dreams. Of course, there would be no more sounds. The alarm did not sound because all the shadow slave devices were disabled. The only people within the three blocks of the ground who were not affected were the initiator, Baden-Powell, and Zhuang Xuteng, whose whole body was protected by the disintegration effect.

The two people only paused for half a second and then started fighting again, as if the war had never happened. Baden-Powell was already used to it. Every part of Nike's body was covered in secrets, and it was not unusual for him to be able to block the company's conventional weapons like war shackles. They fought for two rounds, and Zhuang Xuteng also launched War Shackles. His coverage distance was only a few hundred meters, and its power (penetration) was obviously weaker than Baden-Powell's, but Baden-Powell was not immune to this thing.

A lot of electric sparks suddenly erupted from the body of the device, and the lightning that shot out was like an electrostatic ball being activated. There were dozens of them, colorful and quite beautiful - but not harmful at all. With the help of Zhuang Xuteng's war shackles, Baden-Powell actually forcibly restarted multiple shadow slave devices, all of which were used to temporarily store and isolate the shadow slave's side effects. A large number of side effects (grievances) were taken out of the body by red and green lightning, and Baden-Powell's burden was suddenly relieved.

"Come again!"

Baden-Powell got rid of the pressure of shadow and immediately "stud". His shoulders were opened, and the hive launcher fired while approaching, constantly attacking Zhuang Xuteng. Fortunately, Zhuang Xuteng's dodge ability made Baden-Powell fearful. He no longer wasted ammunition by swarming with all his strength. He only used two or three rounds when his attack was successful - which also meant that Zhuang Xuteng's defense reached its limit. . Most of these ghost energy bombs still missed, but they posed a considerable threat and had a very obvious suppressive effect on Zhuang Xuteng.

But the key to this battle is not the center but the periphery. The airship in the sky used large protective equipment to withstand the effects of the war shackles, and also protected the sick lady from being cleared by the war shackles. She saw the intelligence officers among the four recliners in the cabin, so she got in directly, began to accumulate resentment, and was ready to shoot.

"Hit from the top of the head to the spine." Zhuang Xuteng reconnected with his sensory tentacles and gave updated orders to the sick lady. The intelligence officer's skull opened upwards. If the shooting method in the past was followed, the ghost energy bullets would fly out, which would be too obvious. If you change the direction and fire towards the inside, the energy bomb will still not be able to be fired. It will have the best killing effect and be more concealed.

There was a lot of resentment around her, and the sick lady didn't have to worry about having no ammunition. The four intelligence officers were all lying still. After shooting one, they possessed and attacked the next one, which was equivalent to firing four shots.

The computing power support suddenly dropped by more than half, and the smoothness of algorithmic martial arts immediately dropped. Of course, Zhuang Xuteng didn't know the connection behind this. He observed it for two seconds and felt that Baden-Powell didn't seem to be deliberately trying to create a trap, but that there was a real problem. He was neither surprised nor overjoyed, but calmly and accurately seized the opportunity, cutting in from the middle of Baden-Powell's path and directly breaking through to the area in front of his chest and abdomen.

The armor-breaking hammer hit the crotch fiercely from bottom to top, and Zhuang Xuteng pressed his left hand on Baden-Powell's heart. "It's over," he muttered silently in his heart, and then extracted Baden-Powell's shadow energy.
