Peng Ran Xin Dong

Chapter 280 Aerial Battle

Gu Ya, controlling You Yin, soared into the sky from Windhouse No. 1, bursting with aura and charging the enemy formation at an unparalleled speed.

"The rest of you, prioritize protecting Windhouses 1 and 2. Do not engage proactively. Windhouse No. 1, provide long-range fire support, aim accurately."

Seven Black Star high-performance mechs and two Xianxia mech pilots with War God strength should be able to handle it.

Leave the remaining enemy mechs to the defensive mechs. Prioritize eliminating those seven troublemakers first.

Windhouses 1 and 2, as long-range offensive powerhouses, were the most crucial firepower in the team.

Gu Ya could eliminate two to three hundred enemy mechs in a battle, but with proper protection, Windhouses 1 and 2, fully unleashed, might destroy nearly a thousand enemy mechs.

Similarly, as heavy firepower mechs, they were also primary targets for enemy mechs.

Gu Ya did not want to suffer any losses in the first battle.

You Yin rapidly approached the enemy mech swarm, dodging enemy mechs and various long-range weapons on its left and right, searching for the silhouettes of the enemy's high-performance mechs.

At the same time, Gu Ya was also searching for Tai Hu.

In a chaotic melee of nearly two hundred mechs, the scene was not large, but finding a target amidst it was by no means an easy task.

A transparent film compressed from air, a high-energy projectile, flew past You Yin. This long-range weapon used ultra-high pressure to compress and rub air, creating extreme heat. Once enveloped by this high-temperature gas, the internal components of a mech would gradually be damaged, and the mech pilot would die as if in a slow boil.

Not only that, but this weapon could also distort spatial vision, making what the naked eye saw appear warped.

Electromagnetic jamming weapons, while not causing significant damage, caused the arc display of You Yin to show slight static. For an ordinary mech, it would likely have resulted in a completely frozen screen.

Colorful beams of high-energy weapons crisscrossed the battlefield, and countless rapidly moving missiles grazed You Yin's chassis, heading for their targets.

Explosion shockwaves and deafening explosions assaulted them incessantly.

A massive heavy mech exploded in front and plummeted down. You Yin swiftly maneuvered around it when suddenly a missile flew directly towards it. Using "Blinding Flash" to evade the missile, two white beam cannons shot past You Yin's head.

After dodging the last heavy enemy mech, Gu Ya finally spotted a Tai Hu-type mech at a higher altitude. Currently, it was surrounded by three black enemy mechs, different from the other Black Star mechs and larger in size.

Undoubtedly, those were Black Star's high-performance mechs.

Three against one, Sha Xin should be able to handle it. Where were the other four mechs?

At this moment, the same four Black Star high-performance mechs were also searching for targets, hovering above the battlefield, looking for this satellite mech.

Since it was a satellite mech carrying precise transmission equipment, it could not easily engage in combat. If it sustained battle damage, a large area would become a no-signal zone. The defending forces in that area would then become headless chickens, unable to receive commands or friendly unit information, and might even engage in friendly fire due to mutual suspicion.

Although there was a backup satellite mech armed brigade in the skies above Xianxia, capable of smoothly transitioning the information flow, the loss of hundreds of mechs, especially during such a critical period of war, was a responsibility no one could bear.

Therefore, at this moment, the satellite mech must be lurking within the battlefield, rapidly dodging attacks, protected by teammates, and preparing to break through.

The moment Gu Ya spotted those four high-performance mechs, they also spotted You Yin.

"I'm looking for you," Gu Ya uttered menacingly, maneuvering You Yin to quickly dodge a few enemy mechs before charging directly at them.

One of the four enemy mechs exited the formation to engage Gu Ya.

It was estimated that the opponent did not anticipate Gu Ya possessing War God-level strength, nor did they expect the world's most advanced mech to be facing them.

This was all due to You Yin's highly deceptive, low-profile outer armor.

"No need for pleasantries with the enemy, kill them directly," Gu Ya said, his eyes hardening.

"Level One, all skills activated."

Gu Ya had summarized the "Level One, all skills activated" technique based on past experience, allowing him to adjust his brain's thinking speed to increase or decrease the mech's action speed after activating "all skills."

Gu Ya created this move for three reasons: first, it possessed the ability to instantly kill enemy mechs; second, if it failed to instantly kill an enemy mech, it could also effectively conceal his true strength; third, Level One "all skills activated" did not damage the mech.

If he were to reveal his true strength too early and use Level Three "all skills activated" to instantly kill the enemy mech, not only would You Yin's operational capabilities decrease, but those Black Star high-performance mechs would undoubtedly retreat quickly and relay You Yin's information to Black Star high command.

In such a scenario, Gu Ya would soon become a prime target for the enemy, which would be detrimental to Gu Ya leading the Ao Ying Third Team in future operations.

Gu Ya's vision suddenly turned pitch black, all objects transforming into shimmering blue dots, becoming streaks of rapidly retreating blue light.

However, Gu Ya's target remained exceptionally clear.

The moment the two mechs made contact, You Yin feinted with a quick punch.

The opponent, true to its status as a high-performance mech, reacted swiftly, raising its sword to stab at You Yin's iron fist.

Little did it know, this was precisely Gu Ya's tactic. Just as the enemy's sword tip was about to pierce the fist, You Yin retracted its hand. Then, its other hand, holding a beam sword, thrust forward ferociously. Simultaneously, You Yin subtly sidestepped during its charge, allowing the beam sword to graze its shoulder as it thrust forward. Gu Ya's beam sword precisely targeted the enemy's head.

The enemy mech also had a contingency; its other hand, clad in a heavy metal gauntlet, swung from an extremely tricky angle below, directly towards You Yin's sword-wielding hand. Its beam sword, having just grazed You Yin's shoulder, was quickly discarded. It immediately reversed its grip on the hilt and thrust towards You Yin's rear thruster.

Gu Ya's lips curved into a slight smile, a flicker of joy in his heart. The feeling of facing a worthy opponent was exhilarating!

You Yin swiftly raised its elbow and flexed its arm, accurately gripping the enemy's sword-wielding hand. Simultaneously, You Yin's sword moved in a quick outward circle, dodging the enemy's punch. The beam sword, having drawn a circle in the air, then slashed upwards from below, striking a critical blow!

In less than a second, both sides simultaneously executed offense, counter-offense, and further counter-offense.

After an instant kill, You Yin reciprocated by blocking the enemy's beam sword and slashing a fine seam into the enemy's chest armor.

The enemy mech pilot was clearly stunned, unable to comprehend how this inconspicuous mech possessed such speed and executed consecutive offensive and defensive maneuvers with such fluency.

But the battle was not over.

You Yin quickly withdrew its sword, preparing for the next round of attack.

The opponent also sensed something amiss, rotated its wrist, broke free from You Yin's restraint, and rapidly retreated.

The other three hovering high-performance mechs had already flown towards the Tai Hu mech.

They had wasted too much time on Tai Hu, likely wanting to quickly surround and kill her.

You Yin immediately changed direction and flew towards them.

At that very moment, dozens of missiles suddenly shot from behind You Yin, moving at extreme speed!

Some of the missiles were aimed at the high-performance enemy mech that had just fought Gu Ya.

The rest, a larger portion, flew towards the mechs surrounding Tai Hu.

These were weapons from Windhouse No. 1, arriving just in time!

Before the missiles could hit the enemy mechs, they suddenly detonated, each warhead splitting into ten micro-warheads.

Curiously, these warheads did not target the mechs but instead flew into the sky between the mechs.

Suddenly, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..." a continuous series of explosions erupted.

This was Qiao Weiwei's tactic. She knew that the speed of these missiles was insufficient to catch up with the high-performance enemy mechs fleeing at full speed. She detonated them prematurely to obstruct the enemy's vision and create shockwaves to hinder their assault on Tai Hu.

Indeed, after the explosions, hundreds of dense smoke plumes directly enveloped the Tai Hu mech.

A few seconds later, the Tai Hu mech, shrouded in smoke, emerged from below and rapidly withdrew from the battle.

"Qiao Weiwei! Unleash full firepower!!!" Gu Ya shouted.

Qiao Weiwei, an elite long-range firepower mech pilot, didn't need Gu Ya's reminder; she had already launched countless floating missiles into the sky.

Once launched, these floating missiles would slowly fly towards the target area using faint exhaust. However, if destroyed by an enemy mech, or if the target enemy mech revealed itself, or if they reached the designated area, they would undergo a secondary explosion. The internal warheads would then shoot towards the target at a speed that was almost impossible to intercept.

Gu Ya glanced back and was astonished. A vast number of floating missiles were slowly flying towards the massive smoke cloud.

The entire battlefield sky, as far as the eye could see, was filled with these small missiles.

Just as the smoke was blown away by the wind, revealing the seven high-performance enemy mechs, the floating missiles in the air suddenly burst forth.

If Gu Ya hadn't used his full skills to unleash "Blinding Flash," he wouldn't have been able to dodge.

Those missiles were not precisely guided; whoever they hit, they hit!

Countless floating missiles, like sharp arrows, shot directly at the enemy mechs. The enemy mech pilots had just discerned the situation outside when they were met with a rain of missiles.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!..."

Numerous missiles, like needles, pierced the enemy mechs' bodies, blasting holes of varying depths into them!

Just then, Gu Ya saw Windhouse No. 2 emerge from behind Windhouse No. 1.

Windhouse No. 2's right arm had been installed on No. 1's back.

"Wait... when I saw them last time, which arm did they remove?" Gu Ya was startled. He suddenly realized that if Windhouse No. 1 fired its enormous beam cannon as it had before, the entire battlefield, including the engaging mech formations below, would also be affected!

"Qiao Weiwei! Wait!" Gu Ya quickly yelled to stop her.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" Qiao Weiwei's sinister laugh echoed, "Just watch, you Black Star scum."

Just as Gu Ya prepared to escape the beam cannon's range,

Countless, even more than the previous floating missiles, extremely tiny black dots were launched from behind Windhouse No. 1 in all directions.

They were called extremely tiny black dots relative to the Windhouse mechs. Each black dot was at least as large as a 75-inch television.

After only five seconds, those black dots spread out behind Windhouse No. 1, forming a circle around the Windhouse mech.

Suddenly, those black dots emitted extremely bright white light!

Have you seen a CD? With the Windhouse mech in the center and those white lights surrounding it, it was like giant CDs suspended in the sky!

"Ultimate Skill, [Ten Thousand Trees Blooming Pear Blossoms]~ Hahahaha!" Qiao Weiwei roared with laughter!

"Crazy girl!" Gu Ya sighed and quickly controlled You Yin, using two consecutive "Blinding Flashes" to evade the attack range.

As You Yin just escaped,

Piercing, sharp noise echoed from behind, capable of shattering the brain.

"Zzzzz—!"

Countless extremely fine white lasers shot out from the "CDs" surrounding Windhouse No. 1, directly targeting the seven high-performance enemy mechs.
