Chapter 569 Army Appear! (1/2)
Cr*p!
Han Xiao immediately activated Void Travel, and his figure appeared before Ember. He did not have enough time to put on his mechanical suit but sent a kick toward Ember's crotch.
Boom!
How despicable! Ember's face turned ashen. His little brother was almost kicked, but he quickly blocked the attack. Han Xiao was not able to cause much damage without his mechanical suit, but he managed to cut off Ember's Esper ability.
Only then did Han Xiao have time to put on his mechanical suit. Turning around to take a look, he realized that Hila had lost her leg, and Aurora had lost an arm.
A brilliant golden light then burst forth from Aurora's palms and swallowed Hila up. Hila's leg then grew back out rapidly. Only after doing so did Aurora regrow her own arm.
Hila immediately grabbed Aurora and continued to escape. The previous attack had allowed her to understand the difference in strength. She knew that she would only be a burden to Han Xiao if she stayed behind.
What a frightening ability. To think that he has always been dealing with such dangerous enemies…
A look of anxiousness could be seen on her face.
…
With both the sisters being safe, Han Xiao heaved a sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Aurora is able to regrow broken limbs. It seems like her strength has grown.
Hila and Aurora's abilities complemented each other. While they were currently weak, it was not so easy to get rid of them. Back when they were trying to break out of the Germinal Organization's encirclement, a hole had opened up in Hila's stomach, but she had still managed to survive with her talent. With Aurora by her side now, it was like carrying a gigantic HP potion.
”Will you be able to block me?”
Ember did not bother chasing the sisters but diverted his attention to Han Xiao. The civilians were only his bait; he had only attacked the others to force Black Star to fight him.
Ten or so black snakes then shot toward Han Xiao like speeding arrows. This was not the first time that he had fought Han Xiao, and he knew that it was not so easy to deal with Han Xiao. Thus, he immediately went all out.
The compressed orbs that Han Xiao always carried with him burst into action, and the Halo Array covered Han Xiao in a protective shield. The black snakes smashed into the shield ferociously, and sparks burst forth from the friction of the collision. The shield glowed brightly and expended a great amount of energy. Han Xiao was forced back by the powerful impact, and two ditches were made from his feet being dragged along the ground.
An open terrain in advantageous to him. He is of a higher grade than me and has better attributes. I will only be able to tie him down. Han Xiao's face was solemn.
The situation was extremely bad. Ember was only the advance party, and there were still two Calamity Grade Supers and a mothership behind him. This was a force capable of destroying Planet Aquamarine.
The only choice he had was to wait for reinforcements to arrive. If Godora wanted his intelligence, they would certainly show up.
Right at that moment, he activated a mission.

_____________________
An unexpected event would usually trigger an Urgent Mission. Not just Han Xiao, but all the players on Planet Aquamarine had triggered this Urgent Mission. In the Sanctuary, all the players stopped what they were doing and looked up at the sky with shock. The DarkStar battleships were cutting through the clouds and firing upon the planet.
The protective shield of the second base opened up and the rail guns also revealed themselves. At the same time, the spaceships of the mercenaries also took off into the sky and launched their counterattack.
Why would there be a sudden attack on the planet? The players couldn't understand why and were extremely puzzled. However, it was more important for them to deal with the enemy and they all got to work quickly.
All of them activated the [Planet Aquamarine's Crisis] mission but Han Xiao activated another special mission.

”Their spaceship is already right at my doorstep, and this is still called an assassination‽” Han Xiao had a strange look on his face.
The mission hint had confirmed Risda's intelligence.
Through the radar, Han Xiao could clearly observe the situation of the battlefield in the Sanctuary. Everyone was currently working together to fight off the enemies, so there was no need for him to get distracted.
Han Xiao focused all his attention on Ember.
Han Xiao could only rely on the others to deal with the other enemies. He had to block Ember personally; if not, the casualties would be immense.
Dong! Dong!
The black sand continued to smash against his golden shield, and Han Xiao was almost forced into the ground. Han Xiao immediately opened his interface, and without even looking, he put all his accumulated experience into leveling up.
In the past month, he did not push out any new skills or knowledge to the players, and the experience that he had earned was not enough to push him up to level 140. However, in the face of a powerful enemy, every little bit of strength counted. It would be extremely difficult for him to deal with a single Calamity Grade Super, not to mention the fact that there were two more on the way. He had no choice but to convert all his resources into combat capability.
His experience points were used up rapidly.

[Virtual Mechanic] was raised to Lv.11.
+150 Energy, +3 END, +6 INT.
You have received 6 Free Attribute Points and 1 Potential Point.
_____________________
His accumulated experience was sufficient for him to go up by six levels, and his total level was now 136!
This time, he did not throw his Free Attribute Points into Intelligence. His Intelligence was already more than 1,100 points and was remarkably high already. Ordinarily, he would have added it all to Intelligence for sure. However, he was currently facing the biggest crisis ever, and it was not appropriate for him to increase his Intelligence further.
