Chapter 273: Really Exposed! Confrontation, Shocked Gray Eyes!
"Your mecha..." A familiar voice sounded, and Theo's figure appeared on Sandro's left. A drop of blood ran across the sharp blade of the dagger and dripped onto the floor.
On Sandro's right, with his back to Ulrich, a familiar light golden mecha slowly emerged.
However, at this moment, the mecha seemed to be wrapped in a layer of flowing silver armor. It could be clearly seen that there were many tiny wounds on it, similar to the injuries on Sandro's body, but they were slowly repairing.
Theo was feeling uneasy, as he was well aware of his own destructive power, and he had already estimated that the mecha Qinglong was wearing could not stop him.
However, the reality was quite the opposite. The flowing silver nanoparticles actually strengthened the mecha a second time.
"Such strong control..." Li Ming was also shocked. Facing Theo, he was extremely alert and used all means without reservation.
The control object is centered around the [Space Flash] ability of the [Subspace Folding Ring], combined with the [Swift Hunting Shadow] of the [Vortex Shadow] and the [Intelligent Assistance] ability of the [Star Ring].
In a head-on confrontation, he is definitely no match for Theo, so for now he can only take a roundabout approach.
Neither side was fighting for life and death, so Li Ming did not think of using the [Magnetic Crystal Heavy Domain] to cooperate with the artillery attack.
He just used [Silver-Gray Particles] to strengthen the tank mecha he was wearing. The tank mecha also had a 25% damage reduction. Even so, he still suffered considerable damage.
What’s even more amazing is that despite such strong destructive power, there is hardly any energy fluctuation overflow.
Sandro was stuck in the middle, not daring to move, his pupils trembling and his throat rolling.
When the fight really started, Ulrich silently stepped back.
"But... it's not enough!" Theo's eyes narrowed slightly, and when the words fell, his figure disappeared.
Almost at the same time, Li Ming also disappeared from the spot.
Even if the [Vortex Swift Shadow] can increase the speed of a single unit by 24 times, it still cannot catch up with Theo, and Li Ming is not using pure speed.
The noise of the mecha hitting the wind was too loud, so he made more use of [Space Flash], combined with [Intelligent Assistance] to determine Theo's position, and then used [Wind Hunting Shadow] to pull him left and right.
Therefore, it looked like a horror movie with rubbish special effects, with two figures constantly flashing in the corridor.
Ulrich was covered in cold sweat and his pupils were trembling, although the two did not engage in vigorous hand-to-hand combat, nor did they launch elemental attacks with a huge range.
But this speed confrontation, which was so fast that even he could hardly see clearly, was even more terrifying.
When did Qinglong reach this level and be able to compete with Theo in terms of speed?
Doesn't that mean that they can get right up to my body and kill me before I can react at all?
This... He suddenly felt a surge of regret, regretting telling Theo his speculation.
After this is over, Qinglong won’t want to kill me, right?
Theo himself was also very frustrated. From his perspective, most of the time, it was difficult for him to touch Qinglong.
It was in front of me the moment before, behind me the next moment, and back in front of me the next moment after that.
Even if he could touch the mecha, it would only last for a short time, and it would be difficult to cause enough damage.
"Crack!" There was a crisp explosion sound, but the cabin wall was cracked by the aftermath.
The main ship's alarm sounded, red lights flashed in the corridor, the cabin shook, and was forced to break away from the jump channel.
"That's enough." Theo stopped with a gloomy face. He didn't intend to fight to the death.
Unless more measures are taken, this is the end of it.
"Enough?" The figure of the Tank Guard mecha emerged, and Li Ming's voice was indifferent, "You said stop, so stop?"
Theo narrowed his eyes and asked, "What do you want?"
After this test, he estimated that it would be difficult for him to do anything to the other party.
Although I haven't tried my best yet, who can guarantee that the other party has also tried his best?
But at the same time, he didn't think the other party could threaten him.
Qinglong did not use pure speed, but a method similar to space travel, and the spatial fluctuations were quite obvious.
Moreover, its lethality is insufficient. The mecha is good at defense, and the shock absorption and energy conduction layers of the internal cockpit need to occupy a considerable proportion. It was beyond Theo's expectation that it could travel through space.
Too much frontal lethality is not a good thing for the mecha driver. His life level is not high, and an accident with a part may cause the driver to be killed.
"Heh..." The laughter was flat, and what responded to him was the pale golden mecha that gradually disappeared.
"Do you want to fight more?" Ulrich's face changed and his heart moved slightly. Could it be that Qinglong not only has the means to compete with Theo, but also has the confidence to defeat Theo?
It's impossible, he subconsciously didn't believe it, or rather, he didn't dare to believe it.
A violent storm surged in the narrow corridor, and a figure had already come to his side.
"What happened again?" Connet's face looked grim. When the main ship's intelligent system issued a warning that the cabin was leaking and found that the location was near Qinglong's room, he rushed over immediately.
Ulrich remained silent, and Knitt's gaze fell on the corridor in front of him.
The first thing that caught my eye was Sandro, who was naked, covered with wounds, and shivering like a bloody man.
The second thing was the foreign object below his waist, as thick as a baby's arm.
The burly Sandro was too eye-catching. Ulrich saw the huge hole in the wall out of the corner of his eye, but his confusion was not explained.
But his eyes suddenly became focused, and he saw two blurry figures appearing and disappearing from time to time in the narrow corridor.
There was hardly any unnecessary breath fluctuation, but Connet recalled the feeling of being stared at by a red-scaled python hiding in the dark when he was hunting in the desolate mountains when he was young.
Cruel, vicious, and fatal in one blow.
But there were two people in front of him who gave him this feeling.
"Slow, too slow..." Theo's voice sounded slowly, as if it was right in front of him, yet as if it was far away in the horizon, and he himself seemed to turn into a flowing shadow.
"Theo...?" Cornett's face changed slightly, and he subconsciously clenched his fists. His expression became more solemn, and then he suppressed his fear: "The other one is... Qinglong!?"
He was not surprised that Theo had this ability to hide invisibly and had a terrifying speed that was difficult to detect with the naked eye.
But Qinglong... can actually be on par with Theo?
No... Connett focused his mind. It seemed that what Qinglong used was a space-travel ability. Was it the power of his mecha?
Using external objects to enhance one's own strength and means is very common in the interstellar world, and the Great Mechanic is the best among them.
"Why are they fighting?" Cornett frowned, staring at the narrow corridor in front of him, rubbing his fingers constantly.
Ulrich remained silent, and out of the corner of his eye he saw two more streaks of light following closely.
Kovis and Fernand came. Like Connit, they were a little confused at first, then their faces were horrified, and then they became gloomy again.
"Tsk, this guy is indeed a professional assassin." Li Ming was secretly surprised. He also wanted to test Theo's bottom line, so he launched this counterattack.
It really made him realize the huge gap between the two.
The biggest problem is that because their life levels are a whole level apart, his reaction speed is far slower than Theo's.
[Intelligent Assistance] Although it was able to capture Theo's position, he was unable to react.
In the chase just now, he did not rely on [Space Flash] or [Swift Wind Shadow] to constantly change positions. He just kept "running" instead of actively "dodging".
Even so, he would be hurt by Theo's dagger.
But now, on the contrary, he could hardly touch the corner of Theo's clothes.
"But who asked me to open it? Let me see if you have any other tricks..." A thought flashed through Li Ming's mind.
Then, everyone saw Theo's figure suddenly appear in the field, with a slightly frown on his face.
The pair of gray pupils flickered and scanned the surroundings.
"Where are the people? Why did they suddenly disappear?" Theo was confused and worried. His sight was filled with scattered information, but there was no trace of Qinglong at all.
This reminded him of the same situation he encountered when he was preparing to capture Qinglong in the Land of Stars.
"No, this time is different. I can feel him watching me vaguely. Is there a space gap?" Theo was extremely alert and no longer dared to underestimate Qinglong.
"Where are the people?" Ulrich was also looking for Qinglong. He was no longer afraid of Qinglong, but terrified.
"Disappeared?" Cornett glanced at the entire corridor with a heavy heart. The other two people had gloomy faces and were also trying their best to find Qinglong.
If they can’t be found now, it means that Qinglong will be able to deal with them in the same way at some point.
"In the shadow?"
Time passed minute by minute, and for eight or nine minutes, everyone held their breath.
At a certain moment, Cornett's pupils suddenly contracted and his scalp went numb.
A figure suddenly appeared in the shadow of Sandro, who was trembling constantly and very close to Theo. Silently, a strong thunder suddenly exploded.
Li Ming had tried the guaranteed hit ability of [Shadow Sting] before. It was quite peculiar, with some kind of locking and tracking capabilities.
But he had never tested it on a truly powerful life form, and he didn't know how his attack would hit if the opponent dodged.
The attack came from the shadows, exploding like thunder. Although Li Ming was testing, he used all the necessary means.
[Thunder Frenzy] was activated, and he deliberately waited for the cooldown time of switching the control object to expire, and changed to the main battle series with the highest blessing.
Because the [Justice Armguards] and [Vortex Shadow] are already A-level controlled items, the thunder element blessing converted from the main combat system has skyrocketed to more than one hundred and thirty times.
Tan Wei's arms, which were obviously smaller, were covered with black boxing gloves at some point.
The metal armor plates opened slightly, and the miniature thermonuclear reaction engine inside burst out with full force, gushing out red air waves from the gaps.
It was also entangled with the azure arcs bursting out of his body. What was even more peculiar was that the silver nano-flow had already covered the fist armor and was reinforced for the second time by the [Silver-gray Particles].
This attack was extremely terrifying.
Ulrich's face was filled with horror, Corvis couldn't help but take a step back, his whole body aching, and Fernand felt terrified.
At this moment, they had an illusion that the extremely brutal iron fist did not seem to fall towards Theo, but was about to hit them.
Sandro in the field had a look of despair in his eyes, and the breath of death was so close that it enveloped him.
Theo felt a sudden chill in his heart, and his body reacted before his mind did. He subconsciously dodged and turned into a flowing shadow, disappearing on the spot without a trace.
But Qinglong's intimidating fists also followed closely behind, this time with an undisguised terrifying speed. In front of these iron fists, the air seemed to condense into a solid wall, and then was blasted one by one.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sonic booms continued to sound, air waves rolled, and a tide of thunder foxes surged uncontrollably in all directions, tearing the metal walls like white paper.
"Oh no, main ship!" Connet's face looked grim, and he had to take action to curb the spreading thunder and lightning, as well as the sonic waves.
All the strength was concentrated on the pair of iron fists, and the energy fluctuations that escaped were only a tiny part.
"How could this be..." Theo felt horrified, as the sense of threat that followed him like a shadow kept approaching.
Qinglong's pair of iron fists seemed to lock him firmly, and the distance between them closed in an instant. The opponent's speed soared to an unprecedented level, even faster than his.
The confrontation between the two was almost measured in the time it took for their thoughts to turn.
Theo's figure suddenly dispersed, as if turning into several shadows, rushing in all directions. Their appearance, shape, expression, and even aura looked almost exactly the same.
However, the pale golden mecha did not stop at all, and its iron fist went straight towards one of the figures.
"How could it be..." Theo was stunned. That was the clone he created using the information state, almost his trump card.
Qinglong was able to lock onto his true body without any pause?
“This is too…”
Li Ming didn't know what words to use to describe how he felt right now.
It was difficult for him to see the scenes around him clearly, and he could only vaguely see several figures separated by Theo.
But before he even had time to think, [Shadow Sting] took the initiative to select a target for him.
The flow of thoughts took only a moment, and then Li Ming felt his arms pause, and the feedback of the force instantly spread throughout the entire body of the mecha, and some fragile joints creaked under the heavy load.
The surrounding scene became clear and a loud noise was heard in my ears.
Bang!
Then, a brilliant and dazzling light covered his vision.
In an instant, Theo's gray pupils suddenly became bloodshot. The pair of iron fists were so big that they directly covered his back.
The terrifying force descended with an unstoppable momentum, tearing the surface flesh and blood, and the bones groaning under the heavy burden.
Boom!
The turbulent energy ripples burst out, but were suppressed by waves of energy. Kovis, Fernand, and even Ulrich took action.
But within the area, the violent aftermath had completely turned it into ruins.
Bang!
A figure shot out like an arrow, streaking across the stream of light, piercing through the entire main ship in an instant, and then shooting into the starry sky.
Inside the entire ship, red lights flashed continuously and alarms sounded continuously.
Li Ming stood in place, the black iron fists on the arms of the tank mecha made a hissing sound, and thick red smoke spread out.
