In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

"Fire! Fire!"

"There are Mimic Beasts mixed in! Spiritually Enhanced Task Force, coordinate!"

"Mining tunnel direction! Medium Blade Beasts! Level Two firepower coverage!"

The night suddenly became incredibly noisy.

Spiritual sense brought shouts one after another.

Wang Jixuan, wearing the 'Black Suit,' with a golf club bag and battery pack on his back, stood on the roof of the supply station, almost blending into the night.

He was waiting.

Waiting to witness the power of technology with his own eyes.

Noise filled his ears!

Sparks suddenly appeared on one side of the camp, and countless rapid-firing cannons opened fire simultaneously. Dense explosions occurred in the area between the mine and the camp's defense line!

Waves of heat hit his face, and the tin-roofed houses were constantly shaking.

Under the illumination of searchlights, low-level basic Blade Beasts crawled out of the mine at high speed, only to be shattered by the dense firepower.

Constantly exploding limbs, bullet trajectories drawn into straight lines, and swarms of drones flying through the air dropped fragmentation bombs.

Daoist Wang felt that his blood flow had quickened a lot.

And this wasn't even the prelude to war.

Uncle Tai's voice rang in his helmet headset: "These that came out are all defective Blade Beasts, used to exhaust our firepower. Level Two firepower coverage is a bit of a waste. This commander is a bit impatient."

As soon as Uncle Tai finished speaking, a large group of Blade Beasts suddenly poured out of the mines everywhere.

The Blade Beasts either jumped or rolled, with half of them crossing the first line of fire.

Pre-set landmines on the ground were constantly detonated, and a rain of bombs fell from the sky; the electromagnetic cannons set up in the camp had already been activated, sending shells flying outwards at high speed!

The lights in the camp dimmed by more than half in an instant!

The Blade Beasts were constantly charging. They had no fear at all. Even if only remnants of their bodies remained, they still struggled forward, and as soon as they got a little closer to the defense line, they began to release mental shocks.

The main body of the defense line was a black steel plate, and at this moment, a bright blue light appeared outside the steel plate.

Scattered Blade Beasts charged near the defense line!

Small square openings appeared in the center of the steel plate, and the barrels of hundreds of large-caliber anti-material sniper rifles extended out.

The muffled and dense gunfire joined the symphony of artillery fire!

Dozens of spiritually enhanced individuals appeared behind the defense line. They constantly watched everywhere, and once the defense line was breached, they would immediately attack, fill the gaps, and save the situation. Their most important task was to prevent the ubiquitous Mimic Blade Beasts from destroying the defense line from the inside.

This tacit and skilled tactical coordination was all experience that humanity had bought with blood.

Uncle Tai muttered: "The vanguard is so fierce? Teacher Wang, where are you? Don't be impulsive! You are a technical talent!"

Wang Jixuan replied: "Don't worry, I cherish my life."

Sister Wan scolded over there: "Don't give blind commands, technical talent!"

Wang Jixuan's eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

'How to dig out crystal cores on this kind of intense firefight front line? It's not just that there are too many people talking, the main thing is that this humble Daoist can't withstand this firepower either.'

Only a few hundred Blade Beasts had rushed out of the mine before. Having these Blade Beasts all lined up there was already enough to make one's scalp tingle. He really didn't know what the scene would be like if tens of thousands of Blade Beasts charged at the same time.

They should be covering the Mimic Blade Beasts;

And these Mimic Blade Beasts…

Can be dug!

Wang Jixuan leaped up, disappearing silently into the darkness. He ran in the opposite direction of the mine, and without activating the Divine Speed Talisman, his speed was already faster than when the Divine Speed Talisman and Divine Speed Chant were fully activated before.

Another side of the camp defense line.

Three slender Blade Beasts with almost transparent bodies, blending into the environment, lined up and bypassed the outer armored vehicles, slowly approaching the camp.

They didn't notice the rising and falling human figure, and even less did they notice that this human landed on a residential building dozens of meters away, staring at them carefully.

'This monster looks quite pleasing to the eye, almost like a mantis that has become a spirit.'

The shape of the Mimic Blade Beast is indeed like a large mantis. The lower legs and blade limbs have degenerated, the sharp thorns on the back have disappeared and become two thin, transparent wings, a layer of film crystals is arranged outside the terrifying mouthparts, and a shallow light membrane surrounds the outside of the body.

This light membrane not only makes them semi-transparent, but also conceals their spiritual energy fluctuations.

Mimic Blade Beasts have two forms: one is this original state, and the other is the parasitic state of folding themselves and burrowing into the human body, and then propping up the human body.

At this moment, there are a large number of Mimic Blade Beasts infiltrating the camp. Wang Jixuan has discovered more than twenty of them with his spiritual sense.

Those spiritually enhanced individuals haven't found this place yet.

Very good.

He opened the five fingers of his right hand and aimed at the quietly moving Mimic Blade Beasts below. The five ancient bronze bone-piercing nails tied to his arm slowly floated up, and a faint cyan light appeared on them.

The book says that the defense of Mimic Blade Beasts is much lower than that of basic Blade Beasts.

Push the palm forward!

Five bone-piercing nails suddenly shot out!

Three Mimic Blade Beasts reacted at the same time!

They didn't have time to distinguish the direction of the attack, and subconsciously jumped left and right to dodge, showing stronger jumping ability than ordinary Blade Beasts!

But this was useless.

The new bone-piercing nails drew arcs, effortlessly embedding themselves into the skulls of two Blade Beasts.

The third Blade Beast suffered an even more miserable fate, with three new bone-piercing nails embedded in its skull, abdomen, and throat.

Wang Jixuan clenched his fist, and the spiritual power in the bone-piercing nails exploded. Wisps of aura turned into sharp cones, piercing the most active area of their demon souls.

'This should be their nerve center.'

Wang Jixuan jumped forward, with his left hand behind his back, his figure landing steadily—purely a habit from flying around in Daoist robes and long gowns.

He landed silently, carrying a self-modified version of the Demon-Breaking Dagger, quickly cutting open the exoskeleton of one Blade Beast after another, locking onto the location of the crystal core with his spiritual sense, and using his luck like a hook to fish out the crystal core.

Wipe with a tissue, flick it twice, and stick on a Demon-Suppressing Talisman.

In just over twenty seconds, Wang Jixuan completed the crystal core extraction surgery, opened his left hand to recall the bone-piercing nails, injected spiritual power into the bone-piercing nails, and stared down at these Mimic Blade Beasts.

'Let's cremate them, although it's a waste of mana.'

He opened his hand and threw out three emerald green talismans, and his right hand made a sword gesture, sliding in the air to write a seal character for 'Flame'.

Strands of aura were drawn away, and three talismans simultaneously jumped out with pale flames. The flames quickly corroded the exoskeletons of these Blade Beasts, and in just two breaths, they turned into a raging fire, completely enveloping the bodies of the Mimic Blade Beasts.

[True Fire Talisman: Demon Forging Secret Record].

This is a slightly higher-level talisman that can only be made with raw pulp talisman paper and the blood of non-deactivated Blade Beasts.

Wang Jixuan looked at it for a few moments in the corner, and when the flames began to weaken, he turned and rushed to the next battlefield locked by his spiritual sense.

'Try not to leave any traces.'

With spiritual sense at his side, these Mimic Blade Beasts are much easier to kill than ordinary Blade Beasts, and far less dangerous than that mutated Blade Beast.

Wang Jixuan had previously been somewhat vague about how much his fighting strength had improved.

Breakthroughs in cultivation, forging new magical instruments, and upgrading the power of talismans—these improvements in combat power cannot be quantified.

But now, he has a rough idea.

'With this gun, this humble Daoist should be able to fight that mutated Blade Beast head-on, without having to use demonic powers.'

This reassured Daoist Wang a lot.

His figure rose and fell in the camp. In just a few minutes, more than a dozen crystal cores were obtained, and more than a dozen piles of ashes were left in various corners.

Middle Stage of Gathering Spirit, as if beckoning to him.

Wang Jixuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and his movements became more and more rapid.

He had always thought that Mimic Blade Beasts might be very tricky—mainly because Uncle Tai and the others kept hyping up how terrifying these things were.

But in front of his spiritual sense, their disguise was completely useless.

Spiritual sense still locked onto more than a dozen Mimic Blade Beasts. This batch of Mimic Blade Beasts invading the camp should be more than thirty.

Wang Jixuan pondered slightly.

He naturally wanted to continue happily digging crystal cores, but these Mimic Blade Beasts had begun to approach some soldiers' rest areas, and were probably going to look for [Human Skin].

There should be a trade-off here.

Wang Jixuan pressed down on his helmet, making an angry tone, and shouted urgently:

"Zheng Shiduo! So many Mimic Blade Beasts! Near the No. 3 electromagnetic cannon! They are approaching the camp tents!"

A few seconds later.

Bang, bang, bang!

Several flares rose into the air at the same time. The camp, which had been plunged into darkness due to the electromagnetic cannon occupying energy, immediately returned to light. More than a dozen spiritually enhanced individuals patrolling and searching in the camp immediately rushed towards the vicinity of the No. 3 turret, and one Mimic Blade Beast after another was quickly discovered.

Daoist Wang secretly felt sorry… But the war is more important, and he is also enjoying the protection of the soldiers and cannons.

There have already been two waves of Mimic Blade Beasts.

The first wave was just a test, and the spiritually enhanced individuals easily wiped them out, about a dozen or so.

After that, the second batch of Mimic Blade Beasts perfectly avoided all the spiritually enhanced individuals.

Wang Jixuan vaguely felt that there should be a third batch of Mimic Blade Beasts later. According to his observation, the target of the Mimic Blade Beasts should be these electromagnetic cannon towers with powerful firepower and high rate of fire.

Boom, boom!

Gunfire also came from the direction of the fortress.

They also encountered a similar small group of Blade Beasts and Mimic Blade Beasts.

'What clever monsters.'

Daoist Wang pounced forward at high speed, avoiding the movement trajectory of the spiritually enhanced individuals, to find two Mimic Blade Beasts that had not been discovered.

He had just arrived here and hadn't had time to take action when the sound of breaking through the air came from behind.

Zheng Shiduo, wearing steel wings, skimmed past at low altitude, howling in his mouth, and more than a dozen arrows with exploding heads shot out from the steel wings.

Two Mimic Blade Beasts and several empty tin-roofed houses were instantly engulfed in a sea of fire.

Wang Jixuan:…

Is this guy deliberately going against him!

Wang Jixuan turned to leave, but Zheng Shiduo had already spotted his figure, and shouted with a strained voice: "Big Boss, wait for me! I want to protect you!"

Wang Ji Xuan stopped, standing on the tin roof.

Zheng Shiduo fired a few more shots downwards, his figure drifting towards Wang Ji Xuan, giving him two thumbs up, and praising, "It really is you! We didn't even notice these guys!"

"Something up?"

"Sort of something?" Zheng Shiduo pointed to the explosive coil around his neck, "My mission is to protect you. Let's move to the fortress! Wait for this wave of attacks to subside! If anything were to happen to you, Ling Tong might swallow me whole!"

"Thanks, but no need."

Wang Ji Xuan said:

"I didn't bring the remote control for this thing."

Actually, it was in his pocket.

Zheng Shiduo shrugged, palms up: "I know you must have some misunderstandings about me, but I am now a purebred military esper. To be honest, if I wanted to betray you, I would have had plenty of opportunities on the front lines. Of course, I would have been taken down long ago too."

Wang Ji Xuan turned to leave, then seemed to remember something, turning his head to look at Zheng Shiduo.

He said softly, "Can you command these espers transferred from the front lines?"

"Uh-huh," Zheng Shiduo's skinny monkey-like face wore a hint of smugness, "I am a captain after all."

"There may be more Mimic Razor Beasts later," Wang Ji Xuan said, "Assign me a patrol area."

Zheng Shiduo blinked: "Is your desire to fight that strong?"

Wang Ji Xuan casually made up an excuse: "I just want to contribute some of my strength to this war."

"Alright, you're the boss, you say so."

Zheng Shiduo raised his left arm, a keyboard and a projection screen popped out of his arm. He swiped his fingers a few times, assigning a patrol area to Wang Ji Xuan.

"That's good," Wang Ji Xuan tapped his helmet, "Don't follow me."

Zheng Shiduo wanted to say something, but Wang Ji Xuan's figure had already disappeared after a few leaps.

He opened his mouth.

Weren't they supposed to move to the fortress? If something happened to Little Ling Tong's little boyfriend, he would suffer even if he didn't die. Maybe he would even be trampled on the ground by Little Ling Tong in a mecha. Just thinking about that…

Zheng Shiduo showed a deeply intoxicated expression.

Ding, ding.

A few soft sounds came from Zheng Shiduo's arm. He grinned, glanced at the already disappeared Wang Ji Xuan, and looked down at the instrument on his wrist. His eyes almost popped out.

D-level psionic reaction?

And not D-, but a solid D-level psionic reaction!

"Holy crap! He really got stronger, I didn't feel wrong… No, can this guy really level up?"

Wang Ji Xuan's spiritual sense captured this scene, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Should he press the remote control?

Wang Ji Xuan continued to watch Zheng Shiduo's movements, and found that after this guy finished praising, he quietly flew towards his rear.

"Zheng Shiduo has not sent out any information," Ling Tong's voice rang in the helmet.

"Yeah, have Little Qi keep a close eye on him," Wang Ji Xuan said simply, "I've always lacked trust in espers."

"Okay, be careful."

"You too."

Wang Ji Xuan responded simply, hiding in the darkness, closing his eyes and concentrating, opening his spiritual sense.

'This humble Daoist has a D-level reaction now?'

'In that case, completing Foundation Establishment should be close to B-level? Golden Core would be A-level? Wouldn't Nascent Soul be able to solo SS?'

'Are the espers in this world so weak?'

Wang Ji Xuan pondered slightly.

The level division of espers is mainly based on the energy level in the body.

The realm of their cultivators is much more detailed, which is the continuous improvement of the level of life.

He waited quietly for a long time. The sound of guns and artillery stopped for about twenty minutes. As he expected, the third wave of Razor Beast attacks appeared.

Still a batch of Razor Beasts rushing out of the mine, this time the number of Razor Beasts was almost more than a thousand, forming a 'tire' covering the mountains and plains, frantically sprinting towards the defense line.

"Secondary firepower coverage!"

Mimic Razor Beasts appeared again.

Wang Ji Xuan's figure moved like the wind through the camp, and the number of crystal cores in his pocket quickly exceeded twenty.

The spiritual power required for the middle stage of Gathering Spirit Realm is enough!

However, happy times are always short-lived.

Just as Wang Ji Xuan reminded for the second time, and the espers fired flares to start hunting the remaining Mimic Razor Beasts trying to sneak into the barracks, a sharp whistle suddenly came from the sky.

Wang Ji Xuan looked up.

In the night sky, the starlight was suddenly obscured, and powerful psionic fluctuations erupted in the air.

A slight tremor came from the ground.

The stone walls near those mines were suddenly smashed, and more than a dozen 'drill' Razor Beasts, more than ten meters long, rushed out first, and then countless black tires poured out from the broken holes.

Countless, endless!

The soldiers behind the defense line pursed their lips tightly, held their breath, and widened their eyes to the maximum.

The roar of the human commander resounded through the night sky:

"Full firepower coverage!"

Artillery fire illuminated the inside and outside of the camp!

At this moment!

Whoosh—

In the extremely fast sound of breaking through the air, a black shadow swept past, almost passing over Wang Ji Xuan's head, and an electromagnetic gun exploded instantly! The shock wave of the explosion blew away dozens of surrounding tin houses!

"Pterodactyl! Air defense! Air defense!"
