At the center of the battlefield, the Jindan mecha "Tianfeng" was on a rampage, its spirit sword instantly disintegrating five foundation-building mechas into pieces wherever it struck. The light of the explosion reflected on its sleek metal shell, making it appear particularly arrogant. The pilot's triumphant laughter echoed across the battlefield via the radio: "Hahaha, ants dare to come and die! You rubbish mechas, why don't you just go back to the Novice Village!"
However, his laughter came to an abrupt end. A massive black shadow suddenly leaped from the ruins. With a piercing sound, the giant shield of the Black Tortoise Guard dropped from the sky, smashing directly into his head with the force of thunder.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the Tianfeng mecha's spiritual light flickered, and the entire body shook slightly. The pilot was stunned for a moment, and then he flew into a rage: "Which bastard dared to attack me!?"
He was just about to look up when the Shadow Killer's mech leaped out of the shadows, its dagger flashing with a cold light as it pierced the Jindan mech's crotch. The pilot heard only a sharp metallic scraping sound, and then a deep sense of shame washed over him.
"Puff!" He instinctively cried out in pain from the cockpit. Although he knew he was only a virtual mecha, the precise impact of the sword had caused him to react almost physiologically. The huge mechanical arm covered his crotch with a comical movement. The pilot, enraged, tried to fight back, but the spirit sword had already slipped from his hand.
Zero's mech seized the opportunity and swept past like a gust of wind, the spirit sword landing securely in his mechanical grasp. Without the slightest hesitation, the light from his red-flame thrusters erupted instantly, and the entire mech, like a blazing meteor, rapidly retreated to the periphery of the battlefield.
"Retreat!" Zero's concise and powerful command made the Shadow Killer and the Black Tortoise Guard react instantly. The three mechas were like arrows shot from a bow, with the thrusters running at full power, turning into three blurry lights and shadows and disappearing at the edge of the battlefield.
The Tianfeng pilot's rage practically ignited the cockpit. He activated his thrusters with all his might and gave chase: "You lowly bastards! How dare you attack me! Don't run! Come fight me again if you dare!"
However, as he pursued them, the more he examined the data from the three enemy mechas, the more something seemed off. The thruster speed far exceeded that of a typical Foundation Establishment-level mecha, even approaching the limits of a Golden Core-level mecha. His eyes widened, the data reports causing his brain to short-circuit. "This... the performance of the Red Flame thrusters? What the hell are these three low-level mechas?"
He couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts: "Could it be that some major sect has developed a new experimental mecha, disguised as a low-level mecha, specifically to play a trick on me?"
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up to the three mechas and could only watch them disappear into the mist. The pilot pounded his fist on the control console in anger, snarling through gritted teeth, "You bastards! Don't let me run into you again! If you dare to attack me again, I'll tear you to pieces!"
The three of them successfully escaped from the battlefield and stopped in a hidden ruin. The thermal energy glow of the Red Flame Thruster gradually dimmed, and only their laughter echoed in the empty space.
The Xuanwu guard slumped breathlessly in the mecha seat, complaining between gasps: "Boss, did you already know that the Jindan mecha would protect its crotch? This tactic must have been dreamed up by you! Hitting the head and then grabbing the crotch, this combination technique is amazing!"
The Shadow Killer gripped the mecha's joystick and clapped his hands on the cabin with laughter. "Xuanwu, I have to say, that shield smash you made was a true work of art! With a 'bang', that Jindan mecha was stunned! My crotch-grabbing knife also worked well, right? It made him protect his crotch with both hands in an instant. Hahahaha, I guess he's still questioning his life right now!"
Zero slowly turned the mecha around, holding the Light Spirit Sword horizontally in his hand, and said calmly, "Shadow Killer, don't get too cocky. Our main target is this sword, not your rogue behavior."
The Shadow Killer curled his lips and continued to boast, "Boss, you're such a bore. You felt so good just now, but you didn't even express your feelings? Honestly, at that moment, I felt like I was at the peak of my life!"
The Black Tortoise Guard shook his giant shield helplessly. "You two are having fun, but my shield is almost dented! Do you know how hard the shell of a Jindan mecha is? Who's going to pay for the repairs? Zero, don't tell me this is another public expense."
Zero calmly examined the light energy spirit sword in his hand, his tone indifferent: "Repair costs? Public funds? Xuanwu, do you think we are a regular army? That's wishful thinking. The results of this sword research may be able to subsidize your 'art-level' shield." As he said, he briefly analyzed the spirit sword in the holographic scanner and hummed with satisfaction.
Shadow Killer raised an eyebrow. "Boss, you're just like that. You don't have any romantic sense at all. It's so rare for us to achieve a perfect 'headshot and crotch grab' combination. Can't you praise our team spirit?"
Zero interrupted without hesitation: "Don't be so self-indulgent, especially you, Shadow Killer. Next time you say the word 'groin grabbing', I will switch your mecha's audio to full battlefield broadcast mode, and let the entire Chaos Region hear your 'groin grabbing experience'."
The Shadow Killer immediately covered his virtual headset with an exaggerated expression of fear on his face: "Boss! Come on! I was just joking, why use such a powerful weapon!"
The Xuanwu guard shook his head, holding onto his shield as he continued walking deeper into the ruins. "Alright, alright, enough of the nonsense, let's find a place to recover. Zero, take your time and study that sword. We don't want to be caught by the pursuing forces."
The three of them joked with each other as they gradually went deeper into the ruins. The thick fog of the chaotic area swallowed their figures, leaving only the light and humorous laughter echoing in the air for a long time.
