Su Changxing watched those being slaughtered without moving or any particular thoughts, just wanting to see if these people could defeat this beast that resembled a robot.

"It’s kind of ridiculous to say, but this machine-like monster’s Perception is far above these people’s."

The combat style of the white terror was comprehensive; its upper body could rotate 360 degrees, accurately sensing targets behind it, and it could adjust its body parts to reduce damage from incoming bullets.

Even when faced with hundreds of people, it remained in control with ease.

Jefferson seized the opportunity, rushed forward, and stabbed at the exposed gear on the monster’s back.

At the same time, he was shot, flying backward, but his body’s unexpected resilience meant the bullet didn’t penetrate completely, leaving only a moderate hole.

As a Tier Six warrior, Jefferson was thus defeated, panic spilling from his eyes, as humans do when facing death.

The remaining people began to scatter and flee in all directions, having forgotten their original mission.

Su Changxing had no intention of intervening, picturing himself being beheaded by this thing in his mind.

Timing Prediction was triggered, persistently warning him.

Due to different rules, in this world, the effect of Timing Prediction had changed.

[Timing Prediction: Foresee possible scenes in the next half hour, can be actively triggered.

Note: Please use cautiously!]

Previously, this ability was a passive effect, whether it could be triggered depended entirely on luck, beyond Su Changxing’s control.

But instinctively he remained very restrained, understanding that the stronger the ability, the greater the accompanying drawbacks.

This he understood very clearly.

He could feel that Timing Prediction was a time bomb, accumulating power without notice, then exploding unexpectedly.

Having many abilities is not always a good thing; the more intricate an object, the less durable it often is.

In contrast, simpler things often last longer.

"The person who invented this thing must be crazy!"

Su Changxing cursed inwardly, guessing that this thing was related to the white fragments he’d seen in the council hall, probably the Rune Warrior Kasmin had mentioned.

He was about to leave, retreating a bit, only to find the Rune Warrior fixating on him, striding towards him, abandoning the chase of others.

"Detected heretic, prioritize extermination."

"Detected heretic, prioritize extermination."

The mechanical voice echoed in his ears.

Somehow, it recognized his identity as a Player.

Su Changxing didn’t expect this turn of events, raising his left hand as a golden light flashed around him, covering an area of more than ten meters.

His Domain could still be unfolded, but its coverage was significantly reduced.

Everything slowed down, including the Rune Warrior’s movements, gears turning slowly, bullets being ejected from the gun barrel slowly.

During this, a significant amount of Extraordinary Power and Spiritual Power drained rapidly from his body to support the Domain’s function.

One second.

He could only sustain it for a conventional second, which was already remarkable, considering the opponent was at the Great Wizard level.

Su Changxing drew out his silver firearm, firing at the joints of the Rune Warrior’s leg from a distance of more than ten meters.

With the sound of gunfire and bursting flames, the bullet pierced the Rune Warrior’s joint, and the entire leg was dislodged.

Simultaneously.

The Domain collapsed.

Unexpectedly, the Rune Warrior didn’t seem to be hindered at all by the loss of a leg, propelling itself with a single foot, leaping through the air.

Su Changxing fired at its other leg, the bullet being precisely cleaved by a blade.

The blade thrust towards his head.

So quick!

In his Perception, the Rune Warrior’s movements were all a blur.

The next moment.

The blade’s tip brushed across blood, slicing off a big chunk of flesh and skin from Su Changxing’s shoulder.

He didn’t choose to Phantom his body; in this world, body Phantom required 0.5 seconds of guidance time, and its duration had also been halved.

Su Changxing drew the revolver from his waist, aiming at the Rune Warrior’s chest, pulling the trigger, the explosive bullets breaking through the white armor, but not halting the Rune Warrior’s movements.

The gun barrel of the Rune Warrior’s left arm aimed at him, four bullets flew out amidst the surging firelight.

The relentless attacks left him breathless.

Bai Yu fell from the air.

His figure vanished from the spot, bullets pierced through the not-so-thick sheet metal house.

Su Changxing reappeared at a position behind the Rune Warrior, fleeing forward.

The Rune Warrior, bound by the chains on its body, hesitated for a moment, giving Su Changxing a chance to run farther.

With bouncing collisions, Su Changxing ran forward desperately yet was still caught up.

The sound of the blade slicing through the air, he was cut into two.

But when he hit the ground, both parts turned into shredded straw.

Elsewhere, Su Changxing carried Jefferson, running towards the Hound Tavern, holding a yellow straw man split in half at the middle.

"Amazing, so determined to chop straw,"

He glanced at the straw in his hand, tossing it into the Pocket Galaxy.

This was a Mysterious Item capable of substituting for oneself, successfully deceiving the Rune Warrior by combining with his Domain.

However, he could only use this tactic once, as the straw man was more complex than the Guide Pendant and couldn’t be replicated for now.

"You’re a heretic!" Jefferson said coldly.

Su Changxing glanced sideways at him, irritated: "I saved you."

Jefferson furrowed his brow: "But you’re a heretic."

Su Changxing stopped, looked at him, and smiled: "Say thank you, or I’ll chop you up now and throw you into the sea."

Jefferson forced a smile: "Thank you, as long as you work for the Princess, we’re friends."

He had already noticed before that Su Changxing was not any Guard Captain, showing complete disrespect to the Princess, not fitting the demeanor at all.

Su Changxing continued carrying him towards the Hound Tavern: "Looks like you failed, I can’t handle that thing either, can we still borrow a ship?"

Jefferson took a deep breath: "I didn’t expect such things to be around, it seems the Duke anticipated it long ago."

"It’s likely dangerous here, the Princess must leave quickly, there are other ways, you could leave by the cargo ship tomorrow morning, though it’s headed to Singe, not Maelon."

"That one belongs to the Duke, won’t be subject to strict inspections, maybe it’s your only chance to leave."

Su Changxing thought for a moment, calmly saying: "Alright then, at least we can leave."
