The desert sand swirled in whirlwinds, the chase resembling a fierce game of cat and mouse. The Jindan mecha sped up as fast as it could, but the Shadow Killer and Black Tortoise Guards clung to it, pressing on at every step.

"Why are you so clingy!" The Jindan mecha pilot gritted his teeth and adjusted his thrusters, trying to shake off the two "rogues." He launched a psychic interference wave, trying to temporarily disable the pursuers' mechas, but Ning Yuge's Shadow Killer rolled over, easily avoiding them and actually closing the distance.

"Hey, your Jindan mecha propulsion system is pretty good!" Ning Yuge's voice came through the communication channel, with a kind of light-hearted teasing, "When you lie down later, can you share your engine model? I'm really interested!"

"Get out of here!" The Jindan Mecha almost roared.

"Hey, your attitude is not good." Ning Yuge continued to harass him, while flexibly controlling the mecha, approaching from the left from time to time. The dagger reflected the cold light in the sunlight, as if ready to stab a fatal blow at any time.

The nearby Xuanwu guards weren't to be outdone. Luo Tiangang pounded his mecha armor with his heavy shield, adding a rhythmic beat to the chase. He chuckled deeply and said, "Don't worry. Ning Yuge's blade is small, so hitting him won't be very satisfying. Wait a minute, I'll hit you with my shield. That's what's really powerful."

The Jindan mecha pilot was completely pissed off by the duo, but he could do nothing about it. He understood that their coordination was a bit too tacit. Although he was a level higher in cultivation, he was actually being suppressed in this spiritual realm simulation.

At the same time, Ning Yuge was controlling the Shadow Killer to pursue, and he subconsciously glanced at his control panel. This glance was not important, and he suddenly found a bright spot in his communication sending column.

"Wait a minute, what about... the link?" His pupils shrank slightly, and he immediately realized the problem.

It turned out that during the break in the battle, he had just rechecked the spiritual realm link he had casually edited for Xiang Fan, but found that he had misspelled the last two characters of the link! This mistake could cause the link to point to a completely uncontrolled area.

"Damn, what's going on? Why are my hands shaking so much?" Ning Yuge cursed himself in his heart, but quickly began to comfort himself, "The boss has such a high IQ, he can spot the problem at a glance. At worst, he has a strong ability to crack it, and he can fix it in minutes. Shouldn't it be... okay?"

Even as he thought this, his attention was still slightly distracted. The Shadow Killer's speed slowed down, and because of this momentary distraction, the dagger's originally accurate stab missed the armor of the Jindan mecha.

The Jindan mecha pilot took the opportunity to quickly distance himself and sneered, "What's wrong, little assassin? Did you miss? Are you afraid I might kill you?"

Ning Yuge was furious, and quickly adjusted his stance, launching another attack. "Who missed? I just wanted to give you a break, don't be so ungrateful!" He refused to admit defeat, but his movements became more cautious, fearing another mistake due to distraction.

At this moment, Luo Tiangang saw Ning Yuge's attack hesitate for a moment, and couldn't help but teasingly asked through the communication channel: "Ning Yuge, did you secretly post some nonsense again? Seeing that you look distracted, you didn't post a private video, did you?"

"Shut up!" Ning Yuge's thoughts were exposed, and she snapped back, "Instead of wasting time talking nonsense, why not just use your broken shield to smash this guy's legs again!"

"Okay." Luo Tiangang smiled heartily, and the heavy Xuanwu guard accelerated and charged, aiming directly at the left leg thruster of the Jindan mecha.

The Jindan mecha pilot roared in frustration, the entire mecha shaking violently in the yellow sand, nearly collapsing. He cursed through gritted teeth, "These two lunatics aren't here to spar, they're out to kill me!"

On the battlefield, a thick cloud of yellow sand covered the sky, a Jindan mecha sprawled on the ground, its limbs weakly supporting the sand. It looked like a large, shaved beast, utterly miserable. Ning Yuge and Luo Tiangang circled it like two triumphant eagles, occasionally striking it with their mechas, looking incredibly vulnerable.

"Hey, is your mecha really at the Jindan level?" Ning Yuge controlled the Shadow Killer's light mecha and gently lifted the opponent's damaged armor with a dagger, sighing, "Looking at the quality of this armor, my basic mecha can buy two sets, right?"

Luo Tiangang controlled the Black Tortoise Guard and casually slammed the heavy shield into the ground, making a dull roar. He said half-seriously, "Ning Yuge, please be more gentle with your words. We have to at least give people some dignity."

The Jindan mecha pilot was so angry that smoke was coming out of his head. He gritted his teeth and roared, "You bastards! All you know is talk! Let's have a real fight!"

"A real person?" Ning Yuge's tone suddenly became teasing. "Brother, do you really think we would be blinded by spiritual realm points? In reality, I, Ning Yuge, have status. How could I be on the same level as someone like you?"

"Wow, you're really quite impressive now?" Luo Tiangang echoed, gently tapping the other mech's rear end with his shield. "How about some more points? I'll definitely knock you right out of the bronze zone with this massive shield."

The Jindan mecha driver clenched his fists, almost exploding with anger, but facing these two "hooligans" who were obviously here to gain points, he had no choice but to grit his teeth.

At the same time, Ning Yuge's heart began to beat fast. He couldn't help but think of the link he had just sent to Xiang Fan, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.

"Could it be that the boss has really been tricked?" Ning Yuge couldn't help but secretly ask Luo Tiangang in the communication channel.

"Eighty percent likely." Luo Tiangang replied firmly while using the Black Tortoise Guard's mechanical arm to "check" the thrusters of the Golden Core Mecha, "You know, Boss, sometimes he looks calm, but in fact, he may have been wanting to beat you up for a long time."

"Can't you just comfort me a little?" Ning Yuge stared at the control panel speechlessly.

"Okay, then I'll put it another way." Luo Tiangang thought for a moment and said, "The boss won't beat you up, but he might use Mecha Zero to stab your Mecha's anus—that sword is famous for its accuracy."

Ning Yuge shuddered and quickly changed the subject: "Well, we earned so many points this time, how do we divide the profits?"

"Old rules, fifty-fifty." Luo Tiangang answered confidently.

"Why not 46? I'm the main output!" Ning Yuge protested unconvinced.

"What kind of output is that? A mental attack?" Luo Tiangang retorted mercilessly, "Without me blocking you, you would have been killed by the Golden Core."

"Alright, alright, fifty-fifty is fifty-fifty." Ning Yuge waved his hand, thinking silently in his heart: "When the points arrive later, I will secretly transfer some to the boss as an apology."
