The Ancestral Legacy Begins in the Wild West

Chapter 128 Machine Activation! Bloodline Inheritance

"Is physical modification really that powerful?!"

"[Yuta Honda] (Daimyo's Technique Successor) (Greatly Enhanced Abnormal Physical Strength)"

"Rank: [New Burning Level 24.43%]".

Zhang Chang'an finally saw Honda's personal panel. His level was similar to Hozoin's, and his overall information was almost the same as Ittosai's at the beginning. The only difference was the qualifier for physical enhancement.

He has undergone a significant and abnormal physical enhancement.

When Honda met Honda's gaze, he clearly saw familiar blue blood vessels in Honda's eyes, obviously indicating that he had been modified with whale oil.

But neither his opponent's momentum nor his own broken hand, with a little blood flowing down the gun barrel, could stop Zhang Chang'an.

Takeda, who was in the distance, had already arrived at the gear disk. As a commander, he knew that the researchers outside should all be dead by now if they hadn't left. There was no need for them to fight here; they could take the fragments and escape.

Therefore, he had no time to spare. He decisively drew his gun again, pushed off with his feet, and shot towards Honda like an arrow.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

Pear Blossom swayed her head, drawing a circle with the tip of her spear, aiming straight for the center gate.

Ambush from all sides - Lower level spear technique, sweeping straight down the lower body.

The White Snake plays with the wind, piercing, striking, and thrusting with the tip of her spear.

Three consecutive moves, each shot faster than the last. Although Honda's modified body was fully in top form, he could not rely solely on brute force to block the exquisitely executed Rokugo spear head-on. Tonbogi was overwhelmed and forced to retreat repeatedly.

But Zhang Chang'an's head was spinning from staring at the Grim Reaper's Eye, and his exoskeleton was cracking as if it were about to explode. Just as he was about to fire the fourth shot, he heard a "crack!"

Zhang Chang'an's gun barrel made a crisp sound as cracks spread from the center of the gun.

"—" Zhang Chang'an calculated that with the exoskeleton and his own body, he wouldn't be completely overwhelmed by Honda's physical abilities.

He also thought that his skills could make up for this last bit of the gap and help him defeat his opponent, but he forgot that this spear was just an ordinary iron spear and could not withstand the repeated heavy blows of the renowned spear, Tonbokiri.

A glint flashed in Honda's eyes, and he swung his sword, the Dragonfly Cutter, aiming straight for the crack in the spear.

"Crack!" Even though Zhang Chang'an dodged in time and avoided a head-on collision, the gun barrel still broke into two pieces at an angle, and Zhang Chang'an's attack stopped immediately.

But he didn't retreat. Zhang Chang'an gritted his teeth, swung the broken gun in his left hand, and smashed it towards Honda's face. At the same time, his right hand had already reached behind him.

"Click—" Bingzi Jiaolin was drawn from its sheath.

Sparks erupted from the scabbard's mouth—boom!

The speed at which the sword was drawn was so fast that Honda had no time to react. In a flash, the blade struck the shaft of the Dragonfly Cutter's spear.

Click!

The dragonfly was cut in two with a single sound.

This gun is powerful, but it's mainly the spearhead that's powerful; the shaft is just made of bamboo or wood, and it's been replaced several times over the past century.

In any case, Honda could break his gun, and he could do the same thing.

Honda's gun was never shortened; it was always a carbine over three meters long. So even if it was shortened, it could still be used as a short gun.

This attack created an opening, allowing Zhang Chang'an to slip past him and rush straight towards Takeda.

"Oh no!" Zhang Chang'an had just turned around when he saw that Takeda was almost touching the machine's gears.

"Even if we rush as fast as we can, we still can't catch up?" Zhang Chang'an was about to draw his gun or throw his long knife.

The Grim Reaper's Eyes' perception immediately drew his gaze to the other side.

"Whoosh!" A figure fell from the sky, and another person broke through the wall from another place.

A long, plain-looking sword came slashing down from the side, aiming straight for Takeda's neck.

Takeda's pupils contracted sharply, his steps faltered, and he immediately chose to dodge to the side. He thrust out with his backhand, and the man raised his sword to block, but with a clang, he was jolted back two steps.

Her kimono was still stained with blood, and her hair was slightly disheveled; it was clear that Xiaoju had fought her way here.

Judging from their previous exchange, the difference in their swordsmanship seemed to be minimal, but Xiao Ju's physical abilities were simply no match for these monsters.

Having fought his way here, he was clearly out of breath. The blow he had just taken had been lightly cut on his arm by Takeda's casual slash.

However, although it only delayed him for a short while, Zhang Chang'an arrived.

"Bang!" He delivered a flying kick, striking Takeda squarely in the chest. Takeda was sent flying backward, rolling onto the floor some distance away, causing dust to fall from the roof.

As Zhang Chang'an landed and was about to turn around and reach for the machine, he heard the wind whistling behind him.

Honda clearly thrust the half-cut dragonfly cleaver in his hand straight at Zhang Chang'an's back.

Zhang Chang'an dodged to the side, then slashed horizontally with his right hand, the Bingzi Pepper Forest. Honda parried, and Zhang Chang'an, exasperated, cursed, "Like a leech, so annoying!"

The problem was that Takeda had also gotten up from the ground, rubbing his chest, and picked up his katana, ready to fight back.

"Little Orange!" Zhang Chang'an forced Honda back with a single strike, then turned to block Takeda, shouting without turning his head, "Bring me that page of paper!"

Xiao Ju stumbled to her feet and started moving around. She glanced at the roaring machine, then at Zhang Chang'an, who was locked in combat with Honda. She then walked towards the dangling pipes beside the machine's base.

Thick copper pipes connect the pressure tank and the gearbox, with steam hissing out from the joints.

He bent down, grabbed one of the tubes, and the scalding hot copper made his palms sizzle, but he didn't let go.

Zhang Chang'an blocked Honda's broken gun with his knife. When he caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, his pupils suddenly contracted. The other two, too, were unsure what he was doing.

But at this time, no one has time to care.

Zhang Chang'an raised his hand and used his exoskeleton arm to catch the katana that Takeda was thrusting at him. At the same time, he swept his long sword horizontally, leaving the two of them unable to attack at once.

A few seconds later, a loud bang suddenly came from behind.

"boom!"

The machine's roar suddenly intensified, the gears spun rapidly, and the glass windows on the pressure tanks flashed with blinding light. Steam gushed from every port, the entire machine vibrated violently, and the floor shook.

Xiao Ju stood beside the machine, one hand gripping the scalding hot copper pipe, the other pressing against the connector of another pipe. Her palm was already raw and bleeding from the heat.

Zhang Chang'an caught a glimpse of this scene with his sharp eyesight, but he didn't even have time to think about what it would bring.

Because after the machine was started, a large amount of steam was clearly gushing out from various interfaces, and the pipes were swinging wildly like dancing snakes, allowing the high-temperature steam to sweep everywhere.

At the same time, the room suddenly lit up, as a large amount of electric light clearly emerged from the machine, jumping and crackling around the gears, illuminating the entire large room in a flickering light.

With Zhang Chang'an backed by this chaotic scene, he couldn't figure out what Xiao Ju was up to. He had to protect himself from the steam and electric sparks first.

Looking up, he saw that the two people in front of him were also distracted by the scene. He decisively used his right hand, Bingzi Jiaolin, to block Honda's spear, while his left hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Takeda's hand. Using the force of Takeda's forward charge to cut him, he twisted his waist and hips, spinning half a circle.

Takeda was pulled behind him and carried on his back, but he was thrown over his shoulder.

But before that, Takeda, who was standing behind him, was facing the exploding machine.

"Sizzle—Boom!" Because of the powerful strength given to Zhang Chang'an by the exoskeleton, Takeda had no time to react and was head-on hit by the steam and lightning gushing out of the three machines.

Steam burst forth with a burst of lightning, instantly turning Takeda's armor charred black and revealing countless cracks.

"ah!!!"
