Chapter 643: Chapter 416: Those Who Block My Path Shall Die
(Combining two chapters into one.)
It’s you!?
When Thunderhawk’s gaze fell on the black figure that suddenly soared into the sky behind the Strangling Demon Snake, Ruan Xiongfei’s eyes widened in shock!
There weren’t many things in this world that could surprise this bald man.
But back when they were fighting against the Layela Clan on Purple Jade Star, that black Mecha had been etched into his mind, as if carved out of stone.
That damn thing had sliced straight through the protective barrier of the Ancient God Worship Altar with a single strike, and what’s even more horrifying was that very Mecha had managed to forcefully reopen the nearly-closed Realm-Breaking Gate…
That overwhelming power that was incongruous with its size, that figure as elusive as a ghost, practically undetectable, and almost as if it was the Layela Clan’s natural enemy.
That was… one of the unknown Four Demon Gods Mecha!
Damn it, I’m here avenging my disciple—why are you here messing things up?
This time, even if you are one of the Twelve Demon God Machines, if you dare defend that Demon Snake, I’ll fight you no matter what.
Ruan Xiongfei’s teeth made a gritting noise as his chest began to heave in a rhythmic pattern, and chilling sounds of airflow resounded from within.
“Damn it, you all connive together, come on, fight two on one! Scared your old man isn’t Ruan Xiongfei?”
Bald Ruan’s bellowing roar thundered through the sky like a tempest.
This sound, naturally, couldn’t be heard by the countless spectators outside, but people on the Sky Mother Ship gaped down in astonishment.
What’s going on? This newly appeared Mecha is another Solomon Mecha?
Thunderhawk going 1V2!?
“Damn, where’s your Mecha, Mecha Association? They’ve got two Mechas up there now, where’s your backup? Are those ships just here to watch a show!?”
“Dad blast you with a geoduck, don’t force it!”
The spectators burst into a chorus of curses, critical of those “onlooker” mode warships.
But they had no idea, if Thunderhawk didn’t severely damage them first, those ships would probably be utterly incapable of blocking that untraceable Demon Snake’s shadow!
However, unlike those vocally displeased spectators, in the seating area, White Hair and the others presented two different expressions…
White Hair’s gaze was terrifying, staring rigidly downwards; next to him, Li Xiaoxi and Chuchu were both showing expressions of utter despair, tears streaking their faces.
They lacked White Hair’s composure in the face of danger; they couldn’t accept watching a friend die right before their eyes.
When they saw that black Mecha break through the dark clouds and rise into the sky, Li Xiaoxi bit her lip hard and sorrowfully said, “One wasn’t enough, two had to come; do they intend to leave us all here?”
“Damn it…”
A cold voice came through Yin Shuai’s clenched teeth, his fearsome appearance made all the more terrifying against his white hair!
At this moment, nobody noticed the expression on the chubby boy beside them.
To his left stood the fearsomely grimacing White Hair, and to his right, the black-clothed fat man still mumbling about geoducks.
The chubby boy’s face, showing both sadness and anger, soon transformed into an expression of indescribable shock!
That familiar scarlet cloak, that familiar black silhouette, just like what he had seen back on Loga Star… on Purple Jade Star…
Exactly alike!
Finally, when that Mecha halted and hovered in mid-air, that familiar silhouette displayed before him, the chubby boy’s eyes filled with bloodshot veins.
Yes, that terrifying Mecha!
The Mecha that had saved his life multiple times from the shadows.
“It… definitely isn’t from Solomon!”
Finally, these words slowly came out of the chubby boy’s mouth. As soon as he spoke, several spectators nearby turned to look at Harry.
Not from Solomon, why so sure?!
From the viewing platform, the girl whose heart seemed dead now looked on with eyes as intense as the fat man’s.
It was shock, disbelief, and an uncontrollable… expectation!
Is it you, Savior?
“The Black Savior” was what people secretly called the mecha that had saved Purple Jade Star.
Wang Nuonuo was one of those grateful people.
She would never forget the scene where the mighty Black Mecha effortlessly tore through the raging Beast Tide.
Her delicate body couldn’t help shivering, her arms twitching uncontrollably.
The elf-like girl vigorously wiped away her own scorching tears, her eyes wide as she stared downwards.
Savior, I beg you…
Avenge Mu Fan!
The platform revealed the myriad facets of humanity, while in the air enveloped in blazing flames, the S-grade peak Strangling Demon Snake slowly turned its body.
Hearing Ruan Xiongfei’s voice, Andumari was taken aback for a moment, then a cold laugh emanated from behind his metal mask.
Heh, I never expected to encounter such a lucky day as Andumari.
Looks like it’s not a Federation Mecha, judging by its entrance and that shabby shell.
“Hahaha, so it’s not your friend, eh? Thanks for the heads-up, Madman Ruan!”
The mocking laughter resounded through the sky, and Andumari felt extremely pleased at the moment.
Looks like a friend rather than a foe, but what can such a broken, small mecha do?
As the Black Shura slowly stood in the air, Andumari’s eyes flashed with disdain.
What could this mecha, one-third the size of the Strangling Demon Snake, possibly do?
Flying up here without fear of getting caught in the battle later?
Such ignorance is indeed bliss; does it even realize the scale of this battle?
But since it’s seeking death, let it be.
Andumari’s indifferent gaze moved away from the screen.
As the Strangling Demon Snake emitted that earth-shaking laughter, it retreated a short distance, its Big King Snake Spear pointing at the soaring Black Shura.
“How about that, my friend, do you also want to wade into these muddy waters?”
His vibrant voice held no regard for the Federation or the Mecha Association, and after speaking, he burst into laughter: “But are you sure your mecha isn’t here just to die? Such a small body, and your weapon—what, the knife in your hand? Hahahaha~~~”
Andumari was laughing heartily, yet in the distance, the pilots of the two Black Silver Wing mechas fell silent.
“Ran Family, have you seen any mecha with four engine modules installed on a body less than ten meters long?”
“No.”
“So…”
“Let’s see how this unfolds.”
The two S-grade mechas, originally poised to strike, stilled instead. They wouldn’t rush into action without understanding the situation first.
Where did this silent small mecha come from? Why was it so rundown and missing an arm?
However, just when people were somewhat dazedly observing this old mecha, they hadn’t expected that its right hand would move to the hilt of the sword and then gently lift it.
Two kilometers apart, the sword’s tip pointed remotely at the thirty-meter-tall large mecha opposite.
The black helmet, with its two blood-colored eyes like flames, coldly watched, its voice stiffly resonating through the sky, the tone sending shivers down people’s backs, cold and lifeless.
“…So…lo…mon.”
Inside the cockpit, Mu Fan’s eyes were by now open, yet those blood-colored eyes were still empty, indifferent.
At that moment, Mu Fan again entered that world that seemed half-dream, half-awake.
And this voice, to be exact… was the consciousness of the Mecha Shura!
When this voice sounded, those watching here were simultaneously stunned.
What, this Mecha is actually charging towards that Strangling Demon Snake?
Ruan Xiongfei had already prepared himself for a two-on-one fight, but upon hearing this, he suddenly froze.
This bizarre Mecha wasn’t targeting him but the Strangling Demon Snake?
“My friend, it looks like there’s no need for old Ruan here, is there?”
Thunderhawk silently took two steps back and simultaneously made a verbal and physical probe.
If there was the slightest change in the opponent’s actions, he would immediately respond.
However, the scarlet cloak was still flamboyantly displayed behind, and this six-meter-tall broken Mecha still held a sword single-handedly against the Strangling Demon Snake.
It completely ignored the sound made by Thunderhawk nearby, not even moving its head.
“It looks like I guessed wrong, Andumari, it seems like it’s targeting you? It’s rare for someone to compete with me for an opponent, okay.” Ruan Xiongfei chuckled coldly, his gaze returning to the Strangling Demon Snake.
“Hmph, a nobody…”
Andumari let out a cold snort, “Are you here to seek death?”
After hearing the reply from inside the dark yellow Mecha, a violent bloodthirsty killing intent slowly rose from the black Mecha.
“…Kill!”
“Hahaha, this is the biggest joke I’ve heard in my decades across the stars, Andumari. What right do you have to say that! You should fix your Mecha’s crippled arm first.”
The voice, furious yet mocking, rose coldly from behind the metal mask, the Strangling Demon Snake in his hand lightly twisted, and two metal serpents disentangled.
Dark yellow flame began to flicker across its body.
When the black Mecha heard Andumari’s words, especially that last phrase, the blood-colored flames in its eyes violently fluttered as if something had provoked it, then the whole Mecha ignited into raging flames.
At that moment, in the monitoring room, Li Shen, with a sharp gleam flashing in his eyes, exclaimed, “Excellent opportunity, No. 137 Fleet Magnetic Energy Array Cannon—full coverage fire!”
High in the skies, the fleet that had been quietly hovering suddenly emitted a blinding blue light.
Then hundreds of water-blue beams thunderously fell from the sky.
These were from the 137 battleships of the fourth coordinate zone, who began to subtly prepare for a flank attack on the Strangling Demon Snake, finally seeing a slight defense flaw.
Thunderhawk had just neatly moved out of the firing range.
This rare opportunity, Li Shen instantly seized it, issuing the fire command.
The Magnetic Energy Array Cannon had been energizing for 2 minutes, and a single hit would greatly reduce the Mecha’s mobility.
A single hit, and he, Li Shen, would be a hero of the Federation.
Thank you, new decoy.
Li Shen’s eyes sparkled as he watched the black Mecha, a smug satisfaction evident on his face.
He didn’t care what kind of Mecha you were, appearing in Blue Capital Star without the Federation’s permission, so shooting you down was entirely justified.
So, you can go to hell together with that Strangling Demon Snake!
In the Shura cockpit, the boy Mu Fan, breathing like a wild beast, suddenly looked up into the high sky.
“Die!!”
That fierce roar burst instantly from his throat.
The water-blue beams swept down instantly, and spectators saw that both the tiny black figure and the large dark yellow Mecha were almost instantaneously engulfed by the water-blue beams.
The beams, unstoppable in their momentum, struck the ground and even blasted countless holes in the clouds below.
“Crafty Federation military, but I like it! This is a worthy opponent!” Andumari’s sinister laughter echoed.
On the outer side of the surging pale blue light pillars, a dark yellow figure slowly materialized from the air, solidifying from the void.
Unscathed!
The audience was dumbstruck, wondering how the dark yellow mecha had dodged that instantaneous attack.
Hmm?
Just then, as the hundreds of pale blue light pillars shifted from deep to light hues and dissolved completely,
A figure enveloped in a cloud of red dust stood quietly within.
The cloak draped in front of him casually fluttered and then turned into a fierce red at his back.
On the battle screen in front of Mu Fan, the energy progress bar had only dropped by 0.2%!
That black mecha… had actually withstood the attack?
The head of the Shura suddenly jerked up!
Blood flames danced in its eyes, glaring intensely at the sky where the roaring fleet was located.
“What does this mean? Looking at the Federation Fleet again, what the hell does this mecha intend to do? It doesn’t recognize either side, was clearly about to attack Solomon, and now after being hit by a shot from the Federation, is it going to strike back?”
A nervous spectator could no longer endure the unsettling atmosphere, as the feeling of his life being in someone else’s hands was far from pleasant.
His anxious heart needed a diversion.
However, this scene only exacerbated his anxiety.
What he didn’t expect was that his casual remark would actually… hit the nail on the head!
“No. 141 Fleet, prepare the Beam Energy Cannon, target—black mecha.”
“No. 162 Fleet, prepare the Binding Force Field Cannon, target—Strangling Demon Snake.”
Li Shen issued orders methodically; since they had opened fire, there would be no hesitation now. These two uninvited guests, please enjoy the Federation’s hospitality!
One hundred forty-one small cannon ships aimed their muzzles downward and began to rapidly gather energy.
However, when the War Ghost Shura from hell got serious for the first time, Li Shen’s throat seized up like a choked rooster, unable to utter a sound.
Mu Fan, now completely in a state controlled by primitive instinct and subconscious, was like the most ferocious and sensitive humanoid beast.
His heart surged with an unstoppable, pounding wave of energy, the heat burning his blood to a boil.
In his blood-red vision, the enemy was only that dark yellow mecha.
But before he could reach his target, there was one precondition—
“Today, those who stand in my way… shall die!”
That beast-like roar reverberated across the sky.
Shura abruptly swept the dark red scabbard to his side, with the four engines on his back roaring loudly.
Four super-long energy light pillars, nearly five meters each, blasted out!
Boom!
A white blast erupted.
Boom!
The blast turned light red.
Boom!
A super-long red blast ignited the air behind it.
Profound Meaning—Shura Breaking Realm Flash!
Amidst the shocked and astounded looks of Andumari and Ruan Xiongfei at its side, that blood-colored meteor, issuing three sonic booms, traced a massive blood-red slash in the sky and charged directly toward the high-altitude fleet!
