Chapter 182 Interception

The handover point was an unnumbered, uninhabited planet. The two sides would not meet. Han Xiao would leave Beverly and then leave. The star pirates would come later to pick up Beverly, and at the same time, release the mercenaries they had kidnapped, and then notify Han Xiao to pick up the people, exchanging hostages.

Slyke did this for safety's sake. Although he was a star pirate with little credibility, often going back on his word, he was genuinely sincere this time. He only wanted to exchange Beverly back and did not want to completely anger Black Star.

As long as he got Beverly back, he would immediately withdraw his men sent to the Garton Star System, abide by the agreement, and never provoke the Black Star Army again.

But Han Xiao didn't think so. Having offended him, Slyke still expected him to act as if nothing had happened. What wishful thinking.

Not far from the numbered planet, the Blacklight Lurker floated silently in the universe.

Through the porthole, Han Xiao silently stared at this brownish-earth planet.

This time, he didn't call on anyone else. It was a solo operation, using the Blacklight Lurker known for its speed, not just to hand over the hostages.

Beverly had been marked with an observation tag by him, equivalent to a human monitoring device. Han Xiao's plan was to use the talent of the [Chaos Observer] to pilot the ship and tail this group of star pirates, find Slyke's lair, and then hehehe them all.

He had never squeezed the juice of a Calamity Grade powerhouse before.

The handover of hostages was to temporarily stabilize Slyke, so that he would not act rashly. Although the players were not afraid of threats, Han Xiao did not want anyone to disrupt the first batch of employment missions for the Black Star Army players.

"The time is almost up..."

Han Xiao piloted the ship into the atmosphere and flew towards the designated location.

The surface was getting closer and closer, and he suddenly froze, seeing a star pirate raider ship parked next to the designated location.

"Didn't we agree not to meet? Why are they waiting for me here? Did they change it to a face-to-face handover?"

The doubt flashed through his mind, Han Xiao parked the ship a little further away, came to the warehouse, carried the dying Beverly, opened the hatch and walked off the ship.

Tap tap...

His feet stepped on the brownish-earth sandy surface, raising a puff of dust. Along the undulating ground, the star pirates' ship was parked a few kilometers away, appearing like a small dot in his field of vision. Several star pirates seemed to be guarding the ship, waving at him.

Han Xiao frowned.

"Something feels strange, Resda, don't turn off the engine. If something happens, take off immediately."

"Okay." Resda took over the control of the ship.

Han Xiao carried Beverly, walked slowly for a while, approached the star pirate raider ship, and looked at the star pirates next to the ship, and said in a deep voice:

"I brought the person here, where are my mercenaries?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Xiao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and he found that the faces of these star pirates were strange, with a look of horror.

Before he could take any action, a sudden change occurred!

Bang!

The hatch of the star pirate raider ship was violently smashed into a hole. A black shadow, like a crashing meteorite, instantly rushed to Han Xiao, and a fist wrapped in heavy steel, heavily hammered between Han Xiao's chest and abdomen.

A terrifying force burst along the fist.

Dong!!

A shockwave-like air wave burst open, and Han Xiao flew out in a straight line, his momentum like a bullet out of a cannon, almost dragging afterimages, quickly flying out more than a thousand meters away, smashing into a bare stone mountain, buried in the collapsed rubble, dust filled the air.

The guy who launched the surprise attack with a punch, knocking Han Xiao flying, stood in Han Xiao's original position. The heavy, fully-armed metal armor revealed a demonic heritage face with two horns on his head, one of which was only half left. It was one of the eight vanguard officers of the war domain, "Broken Horn" Mazax!

The gust of wind raised by this blow sent Beverly and several nearby star pirates flying, falling not far away.

Several weak star pirates directly broke several bones, screaming in pain, and quickly hid far away, quickly fleeing this battlefield.

Whoosh—

The rubble rolled, and Han Xiao jumped out, rubbed his stomach, and the slight pain quickly subsided.

"This damage... Grade A Super? Slyke came himself, wanting to kill me?" After taking a look at the combat information, Han Xiao was a little surprised, "It's not Slyke, it's Mazax... who is this guy? Doesn't seem to be Slyke's subordinate... this name sounds a bit familiar."

Strange, I've never met this person before, why is he attacking me? Could it be an assassin hired by someone? No, if someone wanted to kill me, one person probably wouldn't be enough...

Han Xiao looked at Mazax, frowning tightly, and various guesses flashed through his mind.

The two looked at each other from a distance, and neither spoke for a while.

"I can feel that the blow just now didn't cause you any damage. 'Undying Body' Black Star, your reputation is well-deserved."

Mazax spoke first, his tone indifferent, his pronunciation firm and powerful.

Undying Body? Is this my new nickname?

A thought flashed in Han Xiao's mind, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Who are you? Why are you attacking me?"

"You'll know after the fight."

Mazax stopped talking, his body ignited with a strong purple-black martial arts aura, and he started with big strides, like a meteor, slamming into Han Xiao fiercely. The components of the heavy armor of unknown model on his body began to move, and the structure became more complicated, as if he had entered combat mode.

Han Xiao cursed secretly, his mechanical force flashed, and the black gold Berserk Ape Armor suddenly attached to his body, catching Mazax's fist, and suddenly bursting a circle of shock waves.

A surge of enormous force came suddenly. Han Xiao's weight and strength were not as good as Mazax, and he was immediately pushed back quickly, his legs plowing a deep gully in the ground.

Buzz!

At this moment, a Godoran figure suddenly appeared behind Han Xiao.

He used Nagokin's character card.

Muscles are truth!

Han Xiao clearly felt that his muscle fibers swelled up as if they were inflated, and he had inexhaustible strength all over his body, and his strength attribute soared!

The backward momentum stopped for a moment. Han Xiao's feet plunged into the ground, and the torque of the Berserk Ape Armor suddenly operated in overdrive. His waist and arms twisted into an arc ready to throw. He grabbed Mazax's fist with both hands and, following the opponent's force, did an over-the-shoulder throw, throwing Mazax backward!

At the moment of release, a sonic boom exploded. Mazax was thrown out in a straight line, extremely fast, and in a blink of an eye became a small dot in the field of vision, hitting the bottom of the distant undulating mountains. The dust billowed in the distance, and the ground shook slightly.

Berserk Ape Armor's built-in skill - Berserk Throw!

Han Xiao glanced at the enemy's information, and most of it was question marks, and his heart tightened.

This shows that Mazax's overall level is far higher than his own.

Why was the opponent at the handover point, and why did he attack him? Han Xiao was also confused. He didn't expect such a sudden accident to happen. Mazax didn't explain, so he could only fight first.

Han Xiao quickly emptied his mind and entered a state of combat focus, throwing out compression orbs. The twelve Oathkeepers that had been repaired surrounded him, and the hover shuttles floated behind him, flashing golden energy light.

Since this was a sudden event, Han Xiao didn't have enough time to completely restore the mechanical legion, nor did he have time to update and strengthen the machinery used in the current combat mode. At this time, most of the equipment used was still the old equipment. The only exception was the Berserk Ape.

Just this armor should be enough to deal with this battle.

The opponent is a Calamity Grade martial artist, and he doesn't seem to have any killing intent, so he doesn't bother to take out more machinery. He will feel bad if they are damaged.

Mazax is thick-skinned and fleshy, wearing a specially made heavy armor with extremely strong defense, and also has demonic heritage, making his recovery ability very strong.

In the space of a breath, minor damage automatically healed.

Mazax didn't care about patting off the rubble and dust on his body, and charged again!
