"What kind of ultimate skill is 'Offensive Synchronization'? I've never seen Ye Ying use it before! Is it a newly learned ultimate skill?" Ma Zhen exclaimed in surprise.
"Don't chatter, watch quietly," Yang Xu Gang said sternly.
At this moment, three mechs, crippled by the black star enemy machines, drifted and slowly descended into the sea. Above them, the Nightingale mech was holding the tips of the enemy's two weapons.
This bizarre ultimate skill actually left the Nightingale mech unharmed.
However, whether it was because Ye Ying had not yet mastered it, or because this ultimate skill could only defend for a short time, after a few seconds of stalemate, the Nightingale mech's hands suddenly went limp, as if losing all strength. It released the enemy's short clubs and quickly retreated backward.
The enemy mech would not give the Nightingale a chance to escape. It swiftly swung its clubs and attacked again. The rapid club swings, combined with its rush speed, turned it into a giant missile. If it hit, it would definitely destroy the Nightingale!
As the Nightingale retreated continuously, it quickly adjusted its mech's posture. Its limp mechanical giant hands immediately recovered, and it gripped its twin swords, swiftly dodging the enemy's club attacks, flying diagonally downwards to retrieve the two spare beam swords it had dropped.
Just as the Nightingale was halfway through its descent, the enemy mech had already rushed behind her. Giving her no chance to prepare, it aimed its twin clubs at the Nightingale's rear thrusters and swung down fiercely!
The Nightingale suddenly vanished and reappeared tens of meters ahead. This level of [Blast Flash] would not damage the mech's parts and could also escape the enemy's attack range. After all, she was a girl and cherished her mech. If it were Gu Ya, he would have undoubtedly turned around recklessly and activated "All Skills Activated, Third Rank"; mech damage was not an issue for Gu Ya.
"Hey! I think I've seen this move before!" Ma Zhen exclaimed, suddenly realizing. "Wang Shang Meng's ultimate skill?"
"Shut up, you talk too much," Lan Jing said coldly.
Now, the entire team's hope rested on Ye Ying alone. In the year since Ye Ying joined the team, her progress had been visible to the naked eye. Ye Ying had now become the absolute power pillar of the Hound Squad Five.
After ending the [Blast Flash], the Nightingale quickly retracted her swords and firmly grasped the spare beam swords that were about to fall into the sea. With several consecutive spirals, she flew a short distance along the sea surface. The massive airflow caused the azure sea beneath her fuselage to splash white waves and countless bubbles to the sides.
The Nightingale, like a ethereal fairy, ascended again and charged towards the enemy mech!
The two sides exchanged blows in the air for several rounds, neither gaining an advantage.
The enemy mech suddenly retreated and then forcefully struck the tips of its two short clubs together! Explosive sparks erupted from the point of contact, and the high-temperature explosion welded the two short clubs together.
The Nightingale did not give the opponent any time to execute their moves. With a burst of speed, she charged forward and swung her twin swords in a furious slash. With a "clang!" the inner edge of the beam swords collided with the short clubs. The Nightingale instantly vanished, reappearing at the enemy mech's head the next second. Gripping two new beam swords with both hands, she thrust them fiercely at the enemy mech's head!
The enemy mech gripped its clubs with both hands and rapidly swung upwards, carrying a fierce club wind. The clubs transformed into afterimages, striking towards the Nightingale with a speed sufficient to slice through any mech's outer armor!
With a loud "boom!", the tip of the beam sword struck the handle of the long club. Another violent "roar!" exploded as the short clubs and the sword tips violently detonated.
Ye Ying's eyes lit up. She seemed to have found the characteristic of this enemy mech's weapons: she could use the explosive power of the short clubs to borrow force and strike back!
Ye Ying calmly operated her mech, executing continuous spiral turns as she plummeted below the enemy mech.
Just as the enemy mech was performing a defensive club swing, the Nightingale mech retracted its twin swords and rocketed up from below, raising its hands to grab the enemy's clubs!
"Ultimate skill, Offensive Synchronization!" Ye Ying softly exclaimed.
As the Nightingale mech steadily grabbed the long clubs, it raised its legs and tightly locked onto the enemy mech's waist. With the combined force of its hands and the strength of its torso, the Nightingale pressed the long clubs firmly against the enemy mech's body.
With a deafening "boom!", the short clubs exploded violently between the enemy mech and the Nightingale's fuselage!
Protected by the "Offensive Synchronization" ultimate skill, the Nightingale did not suffer significant damage. It quickly released the enemy mech, drew its twin swords again, and thrust them repeatedly at the enemy mech's head, neck, and armpits!
In the continuous stabs, the enemy mech's armor was breached, and its rear mechanisms were completely destroyed. With a final thrust of Ye Ying's twin swords crossed, and a twist of her wrists, the enemy mech's head was cleanly severed, and its arms hung limply.
Following this, the Nightingale targeted the enemy mech's rear thrusters and delivered several more strikes. The enemy mech completely lost power and, engulfed in thick smoke, plunged towards the sea.
As the enemy mech crashed, a system voice announcement echoed through the Hound Squad Five's communicator: "Hound Squad Five has annihilated the Black Star Sunken Army's 15th ranked mech. The enemy mech's crash location has been acquired, and recovery ships are en route."
"Wow, it's a high-level combat enemy with a ranking of eleventh!" Ma Zhen shouted excitedly.
"No wonder it was so strong. None of the three of us could put up a fight," Lan Jing remarked.
"Ye Ying's strength is already far beyond ours. We need to work harder too, we can't drag her down," Yang Xu Gang said.
Ye Ying, at this moment, was breathing heavily, her tight-fitting pilot suit dampened with sweat.
To be honest, she had never encountered such a powerful enemy mech. If not for the ultimate skill her father had left her, she probably would have been helpless against it.
Ye Ying's hands were trembling violently. Recalling the moment she performed "Offensive Synchronization," her hands had been frantically shaking the control stick. The mech system indicated that Ye Ying's operational speed had exceeded one hundred and twenty times per second.
Through the slight tremors of the control stick, combined with the "Mech High Energy High Frequency" system, the mech's vibration frequency was further amplified. Add to this the special rapid response mechanism within this mech, and the ultimate skill's action code that constantly adjusted the mech's body vibrations based on the enemy's weapon explosions.
With these four conditions combined, the mech's body underwent ultra-high-frequency micro-vibrations of tens of thousands of times per second.
It was precisely these rapid, almost imperceptible micro-vibrations, imperceptible even to high-speed cameras, that allowed the mech to achieve wave-frequency synchronization with the explosive power, thus neutralizing the enemy's attacks.
However, the side effect of this ultimate skill was that Ye Ying felt her hands as if they were dislocated, too exhausted to exert any strength.
Perhaps it was because she hadn't mastered it well. After all, from obtaining the ultimate skill to the present, Ye Ying had only trained it five times and engaged in one real combat.
Although Ye Ying performed it unskillfully, she could still resist the enemy's attacks.
This ultimate skill was simply too powerful. The enemy's attacks were completely ineffective, as if the mech were encased in an invulnerable golden bell.
"What is Dad's identity? Why does he possess such a formidable ultimate skill? No wonder he specifically instructed me to practice this..." Ye Ying murmured to herself.
With her teammates' mechs basically incapacitated, Ye Ying no longer had the strength to grip the control stick. The four members of Hound Squad Five had barely managed to defeat one enemy high-level combat mech ranked fifteenth.
What would happen if they encountered an even stronger enemy mech?
"If it were Gu Ya, he would definitely have dealt with the enemy faster. I need to work harder," Ye Ying murmured.
She looked out at the vast ocean, where tens of thousands of mechs were still engaged in a chaotic battle over the expansive sea.
At this moment, Gu Ya, using the zoom function of his mech's screen, could vaguely see the situation in Xianxia City.
"We are only fifteen kilometers away from Xianxia City!" Gu Ya announced.
As the distance closed, and with the magnification, the situation in Xianxia City became clearer, and Gu Ya's heart grew increasingly agitated.
They haven't entered the city yet, that's good, that's good! I've made it in time!
As long as I reach Xianxia City, I can save...
Just as Gu Ya was relieved that Xianxia City had not yet been destroyed, the image that suddenly appeared on the screen brought his thoughts to an abrupt halt.
"Gu Ya!" Qiao Weiwei cried out in terror, "Xian... Xianxia City!"
On their mech's display screens,
In the heart of Xianxia City, the tallest main skyscraper, symbolizing the highest ruling power of the Xianxia Kingdom, soaring into the clouds like a five-fingered mountain, suddenly exploded in a massive fireball halfway up!
The pointed tip of the colossal spire, tracing an arc in the sky, plunged headfirst towards the congested sky-traffic below!
Following this, countless fiery explosions lit up Xianxia City!
"Xianxia City is breached," Gu Ya said through gritted teeth, a chill of horror spreading through him.
