Please call me CyberGhost King

Chapter 299: Fighting, familiar territory
Bud frowned. He still believed that Ke Ling was exaggerating. This statement might be true for other countries, but not for the empire.

No matter how bad the country is, as long as the army is still in his hands and there are imperial weapon users like him and Esdeath, there is no possibility that anyone can overthrow the empire.

Ordinary imperial tool users can't even withstand a few moves in front of them, and the army composed of ordinary people can be slaughtered at will, and it is easy to kill thousands of them. What kind of rebels can defeat them?

To put it more clearly, in Bud's heart, he doesn't really care how the lower class or the common people live.

The object of his loyalty is the almighty Emperor, or rather, the system that has been passed down for thousands of years in the empire.

Of course, from the perspective of personal morality, Budd still has some merits. At least he is not greedy for power and wealth. At least he will protect those officials persecuted by Minister Ernest. At least when the revolutionary army launched a rebellion that swept across the country, he realized that he could not let the ministers continue to torment him.

"If you are here to persuade me to deal with Ernest, then I advise you to surrender honestly. I will not participate in those political struggles. You have committed murder and violated the law, so you should be punished. Although those people have violated the law, you are not qualified to punish them."

Bud's expression was firm. His adherence to the imperial traditions would not be shaken by a few words. He would not change his mind until he actually saw the empire being swept away by the rebels.

However, not participating in the rectification does not mean that he does not perform his duties, and what Ke Ling committed happened to be within his jurisdiction.

"When your car hits a wall, you know to turn. When the stock price goes up, you know to buy. When you make a mistake and are sentenced, you know to repent. When snot runs into your mouth, you know to shake it off. You have something."

Ke Ling was speechless about Bud's thoughts and character.

Ke Ling even had some doubts, was this guy just a lazy guy? He only wanted to do his own job, and would not touch anything beyond his responsibility?
"Zizzizi!"

Faced with Ke Ling's ridicule, Bud didn't say anything more, but chose to take action directly.

Lightning flashed continuously on his body. This was the power of his Imperial Gear [Adramilek, the Wrath of the Thunder God]. This Imperial Gear was also a rare element-manipulating Imperial Gear. Its elemental attribute was [Thunder], which could be seen from its name.

The essence of this imperial weapon is the armor that Bud almost never takes off, but the focus of this imperial weapon is not on the armor's defensive power. This is a genuine offensive imperial weapon, and defensive power is only an additional attribute.

There are two cylindrical iron pestles on the arms of this armor. These two iron pestles have powerful striking power and are also the key to inducing lightning attacks.

"Zizzizi!"

Lightning ran wildly and struck Ke Ling. Ke Ling did not dodge and let the current hit his body. Of course, he had the ability to protect himself from lightning strikes. The new anti-electromagnetic plating layer came into play at this time, and it was as if he had a lightning rod installed on his body.

In the 2070s, electric shock weapons were truly powerful weapons that could send people to heaven with just one shock. Subcutaneous armor that was specifically designed to defend against electric shocks naturally also had superior performance.

"Zizzizi!"

The electric current circulated around Ke Ling's body, then flowed to the ground and dissipated. Ke Ling had no injuries at all, and was even a little charged. His muscles and various cyber components in the flesh and blood became active, directly adding a layer of Buff.

"Ok?"

This scene naturally made Bud dumbfounded. It was really beyond his expectations.

The man in front of him was only wearing ordinary clothes and looked like a mortal, but he could actually withstand his lightning? !

He obviously couldn't realize that "flesh" was not wrong, but "mortal body" was totally wrong!

"Bah!!!"

Bud obviously didn't believe it. He simply waved his arms, and the two silver iron pestles collided. A small ball of lightning formed in front of him, and then shot directly towards Ke Ling.

"boom!"

The lightning ball exploded, and the whole house shook, but this place was obviously very solid and there was no danger of collapse. Only the surrounding furniture suffered, and many were affected by the explosion.

Bud's attacks are basically of the type that deal high damage and have a wide range, so Bud is currently suppressing his power.

There was no other way. After all, this was not outdoors but his official residence, and he didn't want to blow up his own office directly.

"Boxers Boxers, General Bud, your attack is so weak, are you not full? You have no energy!"

Ke Ling's figure appeared and appeared next to Bud, speaking sarcastically.

"Buzz!"

Bud reacted quickly. When he saw Ke Ling coming to his side, he immediately activated the "Thunder Armor" state to counterattack.

His Imperial Tool is a natural nemesis for those Imperial Tool users who mainly engage in close combat. He forms "Thunder Armor" around his body, and anyone who is touched will be electrocuted. In mild cases, the body will be paralyzed, and in severe cases, they will be killed directly. His element manipulation type is simply abnormal.

"boom!"

However, this was of no use to Ke Ling. Ke Ling punched out with full power, and Swanwestin was running. Budd couldn't dodge in time and was hit directly in the chest. He was blown away like a cannonball, breaking through the wall and flying outside.

"Cough cough!"

After being hit hard by this punch, Bud coughed twice. Lightning flashed on his body, constantly stimulating his flesh and blood. This "Thunder Armor" can not only be used to attack the enemies around him, but also to concentrate on himself so that the body is covered with lightning, which can activate the body and greatly improve the defense ability.

Of course, the more thunder accumulates, the higher the defense and the faster the speed will be, but the mortal body has a limit to its endurance. Even though Bud has been constantly stimulating his own flesh and blood and gradually got used to this feeling, he is still a mortal body after all and cannot withstand excessive thunder on his body.

"This guy is very strong."

General Bud frowned as he looked at Ke Ling walking out of the general's residence. He thought that he must capture this guy here today, otherwise, this guy would definitely cause great damage and bring a lot of imaginable trouble.

However, up to now, he didn't even know what the opponent's imperial weapon was, but he thought it must be a high-performance imperial weapon.

"It also looks like an element manipulation type."

Bud's dynamic vision was also quite good. The lightning and thunder stimulated his senses and made them very sharp. He naturally saw the shadows running around the room. In his eyes, Ke Ling seemed to be hiding in the darkness, and the tentacles of darkness extended from his body in all directions, as if to swallow up the entire world.

"boom!"

A flash of lightning formed at Ke Ling's fingertips and shot towards Bud, which surprised Bud. He moved quickly to dodge the lightning attack, staring at Ke Ling. With the stimulation of lightning on his body, Bud's nerve conduction speed, defense, and speed have been greatly enhanced. He is like a blue flash. Facing Ke Ling, he obviously did not dare to be arrogant and was ready to fight with all his strength.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How can you control lightning?!"

Ke Ling's control over lightning shocked Bud greatly. Among the imperial weapons whose data has been relatively well preserved, his [Thunder God's Wrath·Admiller] is the only one that can control lightning.

Many of the forty-eight imperial instruments have been lost during the thousands of years of imperial history, but the empire still possesses the vast majority of them and has detailed records of most of them. Naturally, Bud has seen them all.

Among these imperial tools, his [Thunder God's Wrath·Adramilek] which can control lightning is absolutely second to none in terms of performance, and it is also unique, with no other similar ones.

So, how could there be an imperial weapon that can control lightning like [Thunder God's Wrath·Adrameleth]?! Bud couldn't hold it in any longer.

"Buzz!"

Ke Ling did not answer. Lightning attached to his body and he also entered the "Thunder Armor" mode. Looking at these two little electric men, those who didn't know would think that this was a civil war in the Hidden Cloud Village.

Of course, Ke Ling's thunder is more sinister and darker. This is more like a duel between the Longhu Mountain Thunder Methods, the Yang Five Thunders versus the Yin Five Thunders.

"boom!"

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and Bud summoned thunderclouds. His ability was still very abnormal. The thunderclouds in the sky kept flashing with light, and it seemed that lightning would fall at any time. However, this trick was much stronger than the blood ghost magic of Ke Ling, the half-dog.

"Qilin, right?"

When Ke Ling saw this posture, he instantly thought of another lightning ninjutsu. The moves of this imperial weapon [Thunder God's Wrath·Admiller] seemed familiar to him. Maybe these were the applications of lightning.

In fact, Bud is really strong. If he hadn't encountered the buggy [Romantic Turret Pumpkin], coupled with his arrogance, General Bud could have danced on a bigger stage.

[Romantic Turret Pumpkin] can be called a cross-level combat artifact and a low-health counter-kill artifact. It converts spiritual energy into shock waves. The stronger the sense of crisis, the greater the power. The ultimate skill can also remove restrictions and greatly increase the shooting power of the weapon.

That thing, as long as you give it a chance, can give you a big wave, or at least explode with you, making an extreme one-for-one exchange.

"Boom boom boom!"

The terrifying lightning fell from the sky and hit Ke Ling directly. Now Bud naturally no longer thought of holding back.

The shadow dissipated, Ke Ling's figure disappeared and flickered, and thunder struck the ground, making the tiled ground bumpy and full of smoke and dust. This was not a Qilin, but more like a lightning storm.

Amidst the lightning and thunder, Ke Ling had already arrived in front of Bud, with sharp blades unsheathed in the shadows. The "Bu Lao" that was burning with flames and flashing with electric sparks, and the "Xue Ming" that was also flashing with electric sparks and a scarlet blade, both swords chopped down at the same time.

"Qiang!"

Bud raised his arms and the iron pestle to block it, but then, a huge force came and he was completely unable to resist it. His arms were directly blown away and he didn't get any result.

This sudden change obviously shocked Bud once again. Such terrifying power was hidden in Ke Ling's ordinary body!

You know, his strength was enhanced when he was in the "Thunder Armor" state. Even in this situation, he couldn't withstand Ke Ling's attack. This was obviously an unexpected situation that he had not expected.

But Bud, who was experienced in combat, responded immediately. He quickly retreated along with the force of the slash and narrowly avoided Ke Ling's subsequent pursuit and slash.

But his speed was obviously much slower than Ke Ling's, not to mention he was forced to retreat, so he had no way to deal with the next attack.

"Qiang!"

Ke Ling approached Bud again and chopped him down on the head with both swords. Bud rushed to meet the attack, but he couldn't withstand the huge force and was knocked into the ground with his legs stuck in the ground. He was stunned.

"When it comes to stimulating the human body, what makes you think you can beat me?"

Ke Ling put the knife on Bud's neck. Steam was coming out of his body, and it was obvious that he was in a state of high excitement.

When it comes to stimulating the body, Ke Ling is far ahead of Bud. With all kinds of potions, adrenaline, and cyber units overloaded, plus lightning stimulation, the two sides are simply not on the same level.

In comparison, Ke Ling seemed to have been given a cheat code. Not only could he use everything in a variety of ways, but most importantly, his body could recover in just a moment, no matter how overloaded it was.

As a "mortal", Bud was obviously helpless in front of the cheating god. The most important lightning effect of [Thundergod's Wrath·Admiller] was abolished. He could only fight with Ke Ling in hand-to-hand combat, but when the fight really started, he found that he was fighting with a cheating god.

Bud's melee combat ability is not weak, especially with the blessing of [Thor's Wrath·Admiller], it is enough for him to kill most people, but unfortunately, Ke Ling is not among them.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

Bud was breathing heavily. The lightning on his body had dissipated and the dark clouds in the sky also retreated. With the knife at his neck, there was naturally no need for him to continue fighting.

At this time, many people had gathered around, all of them were guards from the general's residence and the imperial guards from the palace.

The general's residence is not far from the palace. After all, one of Bud's main jobs is to lead the guards to defend the palace.

"Let them all back off. I don't want to cause any more bloodshed."

Looking at Bud, Ke Ling said that his target was only Bud, or rather, [Thunder God's Wrath·Admiller].

"."

Bud struggled for a moment. This was obviously not in line with his code of conduct. Guards and royal guards were supposed to defend the country and fight bravely.

"Everyone, stand back and don't come over here."

However, Bud finally spoke. It was obvious that those soldiers would die in vain if they came. Bud knew very well how strong Ke Ling was who could defeat him.

Although lightning had no effect and [Thundergod's Wrath·Adramilek] was restrained, Bud, who was completely suppressed physically, knew very well that it would be as easy for Ke Ling to kill those soldiers as killing chickens, and he probably wouldn't even break a sweat after killing them.
