On the battlefield, after swinging his halberd and killing or wounding most of the contractors around him, Xu Yue did not intend to let go of those who were still alive.
After all, the example of not killing the snake but suffering from it is not uncommon in this reincarnation paradise full of infinite possibilities. Since he has already started, it is best to cut the grass and root it out.
So more than a dozen beams of purple streamers began to fly around under the attachment and manipulation of the split thoughts, and accurately locked onto all the contractors who were seriously injured and dying, but still had a few breaths left in the venue.
The sound of breaking through the air was as subtle as a mosquito. After a few breaths, the fragments of the magic knife contained in these flying streamers penetrated into the target's eyebrows one after another, and then flew out from the back of the head. In an instant, blood flowers appeared and a little red was soaked.
The target didn't even have time to feel the pain, only felt a numbness in the middle of the eyebrows, and then the consciousness fell into eternal silence, leaving only a red dot in the middle of the eyebrows and the pupils in the eye sockets that quickly collapsed, indicating that they had died one after another, and the already weak breath around them was completely cut off.
While the purple streamer was harvesting lives one by one, Xu Yue on the other side was not idle either. However, compared to the seriously injured contractors harvested by the streamer, he was hunting down those who were safe and sound under the sweep of the long halberd and were able to escape.
On the battlefield, a contractor wearing assassin leather armor was desperately fleeing, but as the heavy shadow at his feet rolled and twisted rapidly, his running steps suddenly stopped, and a few traces of despair appeared in his already panicked eyes. He opened his lips slightly, and while he opened his mouth to speak, his body also jumped away to dodge.
But before the voice could be heard, a Fang Tian Hua Ji whistled out from the surging shadow and tore apart all the noise in the air, and the figure of the Queen who was retreating in the air was torn apart together with it.
Two broken legs fell straight from the sky, and a faint blood mist spread on the spot. In the blood mist, a tall knight with a scarlet body stood proudly.
With a light wave of the long halberd in his hand, the knight sprinkled all the blood stains on the halberd, forming a long mottled blood mark on the surface. He lowered his eyes and glanced at the broken limbs below. He withdrew his sight indifferently, and then the fierce beast Taotie under him jumped out and disappeared into the shadow again.
A moment later, the same shadow surged at the other end of the battlefield, and the blood mist spread. Soon, another fleeing contractor was easily slaughtered by the fiercely falling long halberd.
Taotie, which has the ability to jump in the shadows, is like a fish in water in the dark night. Xu Yue's figure has also become strange and unpredictable. The extreme mobility coupled with the violent halberd that almost collapses at the touch makes him the most efficient blood hunter on the battlefield.
Every time the tall knight riding the ferocious beast jumps out of the shadows, in an instant, a contractor will go to extinction in an extremely tragic and violent way, without exception.
Even the most defensive meat tank contractors, after being successfully approached by him, basically can't survive three hits of the halberd. Often, one hit breaks the shield and armor, two hits seriously injure and die, and three hits turn blood and flesh into mud, not to mention those who are already weak in physique. Most of them only need to swing the halberd, and they will end up with blood and flesh all over the sky and die on the spot.
In the distance, the people who had temporarily stopped fighting because of the huge noise caused by Ba Xia's pounding on the ground did not fight again, but instead turned their attention to the bloody massacre that was taking place behind the battlefield.
To put it bluntly, the main reason why the Brotherhood led the crowd to attack Devil's Island was to find the mutant Jimmy imprisoned in the Worthington Laboratory.
But now, the fight that broke out near the laboratory behind the battlefield indicated a possibility, that is, when they were still fighting desperately, Jimmy might have been taken away by someone first.
So before they figured out the real situation of the laboratory, their fight was meaningless. Instead of continuing blindly, it would be better to wait for a while.
So pairs of eyes with unknown meaning began to look back, and saw a scarlet knight flashing in the dim light, and every time he appeared, a bright blood mist suddenly bloomed in the air.
The dissipated mist slowly spread in the air, and soon the entire battlefield was stained with a faint red. Even the lights cast at the edge of the island were eroded into a strange color.
As if a blood-colored filter was put on everyone, the cruel and efficient killing in the distance never stopped. Slowly, even the nose was gradually covered by the rich and sticky smell of blood.
Although there were not many people who mastered the ability of teleportation on the battlefield, there were still a few of them. However, no one could be as devastating as the Scarlet Knight. This was a cruel and elegant bloody massacre created by the perfect combination of extreme dexterity and violent power. The
Scarlet Knight, who was floating and flashing in the blood-colored mist, would splash a trace of blood in the air every time he swung the long halberd in his hand. The dim and hazy night was the best background curtain, and the rapid wailing of the deceased before his death was the best music drumbeat.
Looking around, the Scarlet Knight's slaughter process actually revealed a strange primitive charm, like a carefully choreographed bloody drama, which made the many spectators in the distance feel cold all over, breathe rapidly, and their eyes turn red.
Soon, the efficient killing did not last too long. With the last shrill scream, it officially announced that all the contractors locked by Xu Yue were dead or injured.
The Scarlet Knight riding the ferocious beast disappeared into the shadows in the drifting blood mist, and when it reappeared, it was back to the broken ground with vertical and horizontal cracks and various fallen rocks.
At this time, the rising and spreading smoke and dust had dissipated, and the Worthington Laboratory in the back also appeared in everyone's eyes again. However, after experiencing the shock wave bombardment from the inside and the landslide caused by the Tyranny, the laboratory is now in ruins, with only a pile of broken walls and ruins standing.
Most of the main buildings collapsed completely due to the violent earthquake that occurred not long ago. This miserable ruin also clearly announced a fact to everyone in the field. If Jimmy was still in the laboratory, then he would most likely become a bloody meat paste filled between bricks and rubble.
"It is obvious that the antidote has been destroyed along with the collapse of the laboratory, so do you still want to continue fighting?"
In front of the ruins, the Taotie under Xu Yue turned into a shadow and dissipated, and he glanced at the people in front of him indifferently in the countless swirling blood-colored silks, and at the same time, the voice wrapped in the cold and murderous aura began to spread rapidly.
Hearing this, everyone in the field suddenly looked different. The Brotherhood showed confusion, while the human side had complicated eyes, but no matter what their expressions were, the desire to fight between the two sides was simultaneously waning.
In fact, the brutality of this battle was beyond the expectations of both sides. At this moment, the corpses scattered and piled on the island have reached an astonishing number of hundreds to nearly a thousand, among which the human army suffered the most casualties. If it weren't for the X-Men's help at the critical moment, they might have been slaughtered one-sidedly.
Although the mutants suffered less casualties, their morale was hit more seriously. Compared with the well-trained army on the opposite side, they were actually not much different from a mob. After all, most of them were just a group of underground gang members fighting for power at the bottom of society a few days ago.
When the battle is going their way, they may charge forward in droves and be extremely ferocious, but once the situation is deadlocked or even at a disadvantage, the fear of death in their hearts will unconsciously grow rapidly.
They had no time to think during the fierce fighting, and until now when the fighting stopped, looking at the miserable corpses of various deaths around them, a sense of panic like a venomous snake began to surge into their hearts, drowning the surging fighting spirit in their hearts at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Therefore, when both sides were weakened in fighting spirit, Xu Yue's light words were like a basin of cold water poured on their heads, completely extinguishing the few fighting desires on the battlefield. The battlefield, which was originally tense and full of fighting, fell into an unspeakable silence because of these few words.
As for the many contractors who were mixed in the two forces, they were naturally unwilling to let the chaotic fight that allowed them to fish in troubled waters end. However, Xu Yue's bloody massacre not long ago had a very good deterrent effect, so no one jumped out to openly question it.
The silence lasted for a few breaths, until a majestic old man with a cloak rolling slowly fell from the sky, which completely broke the stagnant atmosphere in the field.
"Whether the war continues or not does not depend on the kid named Jimmy. Boy, he is just an inducement. Since humans have taken the initiative to provoke the war, when and how it ends will depend on us..."
Unlike the professor's gentleness and modesty, although they are of similar age, Magneto's voice is extremely tough. Even though his tone is still gentle at this time, his words always reveal a sense of iron and blood that cannot be resisted. The
only common trait is that both of them speak with a firm belief that makes people believe in them. This is a common trait brought to them by decades of consistent spiritual leadership.
"So, kid, are you a mutant, or those pathetic humans?"
The tough voice still sounded above. Xu Yue looked up and saw a figure with a dark red cloak swaggering and rolling behind him floating in the air. The old face under the metal helmet was full of wrinkles, but the eyes were extremely bright and clear, and contained a pure determination after seeing through the world.
When the four eyes met, Xu Yue actually had the illusion of seeing the professor, but the emotions contained in these eyes were more iron-blooded and murderous, and carried a hint of scrutiny.
"Of course it's the former, but a blind war will do nothing but intensify the conflict, and... we have no chance of winning now."
Even though he had dealt with dozens of special models of sentinel robots by himself not long ago, Magneto was still breathing steadily, and even his clothes were still clean and new, with no signs of having just experienced a brutal fight.
After hearing the reply from below, he lowered his eyes and glanced at the blood-colored silk that was being swallowed and absorbed around Xu Yue, as well as the miserable corpses that were randomly piled up on the surface. His eyebrows were slightly raised, and a hint of strangeness flashed in his eyes.
This kid? Is he really Charles' student?
"Although it's still some clichés, it's much better than Charles's hypocritical kindness. Are you really his student?"
"Of course."
After the words fell, the corners of Magneto's lips, which were tightly pursed in the air, actually lifted up an arc for the first time, and his cold face also revealed a bit of softness.
Although Xu Yue had just killed many members of the Brotherhood, he believed in the law of survival of the fittest and obviously did not care about the sacrifice of his men. As long as they were all compatriots, instead of mourning the death of the weak, it would be better to try to recruit this strong and cruel young compatriot.
What's more, the opponent was Charles' student, a student who was much tougher than the Wolverine!
"Ha, it's rare that Charles can teach a student like you. But you are not suitable for the academy. Those naive X-Men will only restrain your power. Join my Brotherhood, I will give you the most favorable conditions and let you completely liberate your talents, how about it?"
[The invitation from the leader of the Brotherhood has been detected. After agreeing, the Hunter's camp will be changed from X-Men to Mutant Brotherhood. The main task will be changed accordingly. The camp reputation will be automatically locked as respected, and you will get special rewards from any camp: mutant talent awakening opportunity (1/1), dark purple metal forging materials (optional characteristics), camp store...] ...
...
Along with Magneto's recruitment voice, a paradise prompt popped up in front of Xu Yue. His eyes swept over the last special reward in the prompt, and his eyebrows twitched slightly. He could only say that it was worthy of being a mutant brotherhood with an entire all-metal island overseas. It was indeed rich and powerful.
Of course, the rewards from the X-Men camp were not inferior. Whether it was the various advanced knowledge of the psychic system that he had learned from the professor during this period, or the dozens of mutant bloods wrapped in special capsules in the Qiankun Gourd, they were only part of the rewards.
In terms of atmosphere, Professor X was by no means inferior to Magneto. It was just that because of the different emphasis, the way the rewards were presented was not consistent, but more restrained.
After closing the paradise prompt in front of him, Xu Yue raised his eyes again to meet Magneto's bright eyes under the helmet, and said lightly:
"Sorry, I am the professor's student, Mr. Magneto."
"So, do you want to continue?"
"...…"
The four looked at each other, and Magneto did not respond immediately, but the corners of his mouth that were raised returned to a cold and hard state, and the softness on his face was completely transformed into an extreme indifference like cold iron.
"Heh, Charles..."
After a meaningless chuckle, he no longer paid attention to Xu Yue below, but looked directly at the battlefield on the other side of the island that had temporarily stagnated, and said lightly:
"Humans have provoked, they have started a war, so this battle will never stop until one side is completely defeated!"
"Now, kill them all!"
"Let humans open their eyes and see the anger of us mutants!"
The cold and hard words swept across the entire island in an instant like a cold wind. As soon as the words fell, the battlefield that had been calmed down suddenly rioted, and the deafening shouts of
killing rushed straight into the sky. Perhaps because of the leader's prestige, or because of the worship of power, in short, as Magneto's declaration of war resounded, the two camps on the island once again stepped into a tragic fight of life and death.
Moreover, unlike the previous evenly matched situation, the battlefield at this moment has returned to the situation of being crushed by the Brotherhood. Even with the help of many X-Men members, it is of no avail. During this period, a large number of contractors belonging to the human side began to quietly escape from the island.
After all, Magneto has freed up his hands. The risk of continuing to fight is doubled, not to mention that there is a more powerful Phoenix behind that may explode at any time. If you don't escape now, you may never have a chance to escape again.
In the sky, Magneto glanced at the contractors who were fleeing outside the battlefield. He showed sarcasm, but did not stop them. Compared with those cowards, he has a better target to deal with personally.
His sight shifted, and he lowered his eyes to look at the silent Scarlet Knight below, with an indifferent tone.
"I think my answer is clear enough. Now, we can move on. Where is Jimmy?"
"I can sense that his human magnetic field had shifted before the lab collapsed, so you'd better answer me honestly."
Below, facing Magneto's question, Xu Yue didn't even look up. His attention was now on the metal ball in his hand.
[Comparing the intelligence attributes of both parties..., comparison completed, our intelligence is ??? times that of the enemy, and 32% of the enemy's information has been obtained]
