"That black mecha chased us all the way!" Liu Feng roared angrily into the communicator, "I'm going to take it down!"
"Liu Feng," Ye Ying said calmly, "take Gu Ya back."
"Captain Ye, are you planning to fight it alone? Gu Ya doesn't have the strength for that, can you do it? We should wait for the main force to arrive from the rear for support," Qiao Weiwei said arrogantly and anxiously.
The black God Slayer suddenly vanished from their sight, and then a powerful gust of wind attacked from behind!
Night Owl did not hesitate to activate its reverse auxiliary thrusters, falling behind the Eagle Three squadron, spreading its limbs into an offensive stance. The two beam sabers in her hands had already extended, and she charged forward.
The black battle blades and white beam sabers collided, sparks of brown light particles scattering into the sky.
"Put the experimental subject down for me! I, Hong Lian Zhiwu, will spare your lives! Hehehehehe!!!" Hong Lian Zhiwu laughed wildly.
After leaving Shanhai City, the Eagle Three squadron personally escorted the transport mecha carrying Gu Ya back to Xianxia.
Only after the Swift Leopard Four squadron and Hound Five squadron had departed did the cunning Hong Lian Zhiwu charge in from thousands of kilometers away.
"I thought the plan was flawless, but I didn't expect her to see through it," Tao Na said calmly. "Captain Ye, I'll stay and help you."
Night Owl quickly activated "Offense Synchronisation," crossing her swords and slashing. Two diagonal white beam ripples were flung from the sword edges, directly striking the God Slayer.
After creating some distance, Ye Ying gained a brief respite and calmly said, "All of you leave! Protecting Gu Ya is important, I'll cover the rear."
"Captain Ye, we don't want to go to Shanhai City again. Be sure to come back safely!" Qiao Weiwei said with concern, but a mischievous smile played on her lips. If Ye Ying was defeated, she would seize the opportunity to get closer to Gu Ya.
The Unbound Red slightly lagged behind, using its massive shoulders to prop up the transport mecha, igniting even more explosive momentum as it charged away. The remaining members of the Eagle Three squadron quickly followed.
The azure sky and the deep blue sea formed a blue world. In the vast sky, the Night Owl mecha and the God Slayer stood facing each other.
"Heh heh, I'll finish you in five minutes!" Hong Lian Zhiwu roared sinisterly and arrogantly. She controlled the God Slayer to activate its environmental fusion system, its body gradually becoming transparent, matching the color of the sea and sky. Hanging in the sky, it looked like a thin, transparent plastic sheet.
With a flash of cold light, the cloaked God Slayer had already dashed to Night Owl's rear flank. A black battle blade suddenly appeared on the right side of the Night Owl mecha, and then another battle blade appeared on the left.
The twin battle blades simultaneously slashed towards the slender waist of the Night Owl mecha. The battle blades were angled and positioned cunningly, making it impossible to break through from either the left or the right.
Night Owl, however, had no intention of dodging. She quickly reversed her grip on the beam sabers, activated "Offense Synchronisation" throughout her entire body, and used the beam sabers to block the battle blades from both sides.
As soon as their weapons met, before any sparks even appeared, the Night Owl mecha suddenly released a massive amount of white smoke. With the activation of [Flash Burst], it escaped from the attack range of the battle blades from below.
The white smoke caused the God Slayer to briefly materialize. Seizing a moment of opportunity, Night Owl quickly moved from below to the God Slayer's rear. Like a silent shadow assassin, she sliced at the God Slayer's neck with both swords!
Feeling the powerful reaction force transmitted through the control stick, Ye Ying knew she had succeeded!
The black mecha head was severed and flew into the sky, but something immediately happened that was beyond Ye Ying's expectations.
The mechanical head was tightly grasped by two mechanical spinal columns. With a "whizz," the sound of grinding mechanical chains was heard, and the spinal columns flew back with the head.
The strange thing was that the head rotated 180 degrees and was firmly reattached to the God Slayer's shoulder, its face now looking backward at the Night Owl mecha.
"Little girl, you thought you could kill me just like that?" Hong Lian Zhiwu sneered coldly.
The God Slayer mecha suddenly materialized, its limbs bending rapidly in reverse, tightly locking onto the Night Owl mecha. Dozens of sharp black spikes pierced the four-limb armor, digging fiercely into the Night Owl's chassis.
Not only that, but the God Slayer mecha's entire armor rapidly peeled away, revealing a new inner lining armor beneath the outer plating.
Within the inner lining armor, a new head appeared behind the first one, and then its hidden limbs also emerged from the body armor.
The God Slayer transformed into a bizarre, four-armed, four-legged, two-headed mecha, smaller and more compact than before. Two new dual thrusters appeared on its chest, erupting with stable thrust.
"After fighting Gu Ya, I had an inspiration and merged two God Slayers into one."
The separated armor fragments in the air formed two new battle blades. Along with the previous two, they were tightly gripped by the newly formed hands and feet, resembling a monstrous insect, its appearance grotesque and terrifying.
"Little girl, let's see how you escape?" Hong Lian Zhiwu laughed triumphantly.
The God Slayer's new limbs manipulated the four battle blades, thrusting towards Night Owl's rear once more! The sharp blades drew closer and closer to Night Owl! The four battle blades plus dozens of spikes were enough to shatter Night Owl into pieces!
But Ye Ying had no intention of dodging!
If one hand wasn't enough, then two hands would be!
Ye Ying quickly tapped a mecha command, then immediately gripped the control stick with both hands, pouring all her strength into subtly trembling the stick.
The Night Owl mecha's vibration frequency suddenly increased by another level, trembling nearly thirty thousand times per second, allowing it to steadily withstand the assault of the four battle blades!
But it wasn't over yet. Due to the intense friction, the tips of the battle blades gradually reached temperatures exceeding ten thousand degrees Celsius.
The temperature, higher than the battle blades' black beam ripples, easily melted the inner edges of the blades, causing them to fuse with the Night Owl's chassis. The compatibility of the meta-material and the offense synchronization caused the chassis and the blades to resonate, and the dual conditions gradually strengthened the weld.
The God Slayer tugged hard on the sword hilts, but they wouldn't budge. The God Slayer, having lost its weapons, was clearly at a loss.
However, the ultra-high frequency friction also firmly fused the Night Owl and the God Slayer's armor together. They were like two fat people embracing in the air.
"Little girl, are you planning to play a game with me?" Hong Lian Zhiwu's smile deepened. "Sister isn't interested in girls."
The moment she finished speaking, Night Owl's entire armor suddenly burst open. Its legs and feet stomped on the God Slayer's body, and the auxiliary thruster power was pushed to the maximum!
Night Owl forcefully tore the two mechas apart!
Due to the high-frequency vibration welding, the spikes had become adhered to Night Owl's internal mechanical structure, even pulling out some of Night Owl's internal mechanical components!
The once beautiful and Valkyrie-like Night Owl mecha, with its front armor torn and adhering to the God Slayer, looked like a girl whose skin had been peeled off, horrifying and ghastly.
Intricate black mechanical structures were exposed to the air, with blue meta-energy conduits clearly visible. The meta-batteries supplying power were located inside the waist armor, faintly emitting a pinkish-blue light.
Immediately after separating, Night Owl's limbs and shoulders suddenly extended backward. The four black battle blades welded to it, due to the chassis's distortion, gradually stood upright, like giant thorns vertically impaling its back!
Ye Ying then softly exclaimed, "Special Technique! [Blade of the God Cutter]!"
Night Owl's remaining three auxiliary thrusters erupted with explosive force. The rear thrusters adjusted their angle slightly, also unleashing formidable thrust.
The Night Owl mecha became like a rapidly spinning giant tire, or a rotating, colossal circular saw blade!
Black blades traced black light arcs on the outside, while the interior was a greyish-blue "hub" formed by the spinning chassis.
The violent rotation propelled the four battle blades, charging towards the God Slayer and shredding its fuselage.
Countless armor fragments and giant metal spikes were cut and flung away. Innumerable black light particles and sparks scattered into the sky. The sounds of cracking armor and snapping mechanical structures echoed through the heavens.
A terrifying, gaping maw was ripped open across the God Slayer's chest, gradually splitting towards the other side of its body!
Just as it was about to be sliced in half by Night Owl, Hong Lian Zhiwu's eyes blazed with fury. She rapidly operated the control panel, and the God Slayer split in half from the center of its body. The flattened God Slayer separated from its original form.
The limbs and head of the flattened God Slayer rapidly reversed, transforming into a normal posture in mid-air. However, its appearance could hardly be described as that of a normal mecha.
The flat chest had a shallow gash opened by Night Owl. If it had been a second later, it would have been completely sliced in two, and the separation would have been useless.
"You nasty girl! You've made me this miserable! I'll come back to play with you after I fix my mecha!" Hong Lian Zhiwu, sensing the unfavorable turn of events, quickly fled, leaving a straight black trail of exhaust in the air.
But how could Ye Ying let her escape? Carrying the heavy burden of four battle blades, Night Owl pursued without hesitation.
