Chapter 472 – Mad Dance Swallowing Dragon

The sudden outbreak and abrupt end of the battle left the other dozen or so mechas in the sky momentarily frozen.

As those onlookers watched in shock, the swirling dust below gradually cleared, revealing a massive crater before everyone’s eyes.

Within the crater stood a tall, dark blue mecha, about nine meters in height, resembling a level-one Blue Falcon but much more robust and bulky than the top-of-the-line Blue Falcon models.

Its strong, well-proportioned alloy arms hung naturally at its sides, with a sticky black-red liquid trickling down from its long fingers.

At its feet lay two Skull Crusher mechas, each with a shocking, gaping hole in the chest, lying motionless like corpses.

In a single encounter.

Two mechas were destroyed, their pilots killed, and it was done in such a raw, brutal manner – piercing through with bare hands.

Even if the mechas destroyed were only relatively ordinary level-four models, the sudden burst of combat power from the dark blue mecha drew everyone’s attention.

The expressions of the remaining mecha pilots in the field all gradually turned serious.

“Whizz!”

A dark purple light pillar suddenly descended from the sky, accurately striking the position of the dark blue mecha in the crater.

“Boom!” A massive explosion wave was stirred up.

“No need to leave anyone alive…”

In the sky, the leading Purple mecha raised a single arm, the exaggerated energy cannon muzzle on its arm gathering purple light, coldly saying, “Kill!”

The surrounding mechas snapped to attention, quickly spreading out into formation.

“Boom!”

The dust stirred by the purple explosion was blasted away, and the unharmed dark blue mecha soared into the air like a great bird.

“Lu Feng…”

The young voice, still so calm it seemed devoid of emotion, spoke.

“Count the heads for me.”

Below, holding Dual Swords and about to join the battle group, the level 5 Storm Chaser Swordsman paused at the sound of the voice.

Then, resheathing his swords, his entire mecha stood upright, nodding respectfully.

“Yes, Master.”

The dark blue mecha, having dodged a distant energy shot, was now fully exposed in the view of the surrounding mechas.

The three mechas closest to it quickly closed in without hesitation.

These three mechas were red and white, wielding alloy weapons resembling giant blades on their arms, with energy radiance flowing along the edges. Their swift approach and overpowering presence were both superior to the level four Skull Crushers.

They were clearly level 5 combat mechas.

Acting in perfect coordination, the three red-white mechas formed a triangle, tightly encircling the dark blue mecha from all sides.

Six blue-light-emitting alloy blades attacked the dark blue mecha from every direction, as if intending to tear it to pieces.

Faced with this fierce assault, the dark blue mecha’s body swayed slightly, its massive nine-meter-tall frame leaving a faint afterimage in the air.

Reappearing suddenly, it was close to one of the red-white mechas at the front.

The dark blue mecha sharply raised its hand, and the blue energy light screen formed by the two giant blades on the red-white mecha crumpled like paper under its alloy giant arm, tearing apart violently.

The red-white mecha was taken aback by this nearly unreasonable mode of attack and instinctively tried to pull back its blades in defense, its feet spewing flames as it retreated rapidly.

But the dark blue mecha was much faster.

Just as the red-white mecha began to react, a dark blue alloy giant arm pressed against its red-glow-adorned body.

The fingers of the dark blue alloy arm danced over the chest surface of the red-white mecha like a pianist’s performance, transmitting waves of strength through its fingers.

The level 5 energy shield of the red-white mecha, rushing to protect its body, proved worthless against this assault. With a “pop,” the translucent light shield on its exterior burst like a bubble.

Then, the dark blue giant arm swiftly penetrated inside, its alloy-glossed fingers spread wide.

“Crack-“

The relatively fragile neck of the red-white mecha was tightly grasped by an alloy giant hand, hoisted like a chick in midair.

The dark blue mecha, with the red-white mecha’s neck in its grip, spun sharply, positioning the red-white mecha in front of itself.

At that moment, four blades came crashing down, embedding deeply into the red-white mecha’s body with a series of booming sounds, bursting into huge sparks.

“Ugh?!”

The dark blue mecha’s series of actions seemed complex and slow but were actually completed in less than half a second.

The other two red-white mechas on its side and rear only experienced a blur before realizing their attacks had already struck their ally.

They were taken aback, intending to retract their strikes, but a massive dark blue shadow had already closed in on them like a giant python, moving with an eerie swiftness.

“Whoosh-“

Two alloy arms, strong and massive, swung at them from left and right. Even from a distance, they seemed to swell in size mid-swing, appearing incredibly exaggerated even by mecha standards.

Yet, their speed was unbelievable.

The two red-white mechas only sensed a sudden terror in their mental power perception before hearing two deafening “bangs.”

The dark blue mecha’s arms clutched onto the heads of both red-white mechas and smashed them brutally against each other.

“Boom!”

A blast of blue and red flame erupted, and the three severely twisted red-white mechas fell powerlessly from the sky.

As the flame rapidly dissipated, the dark blue mecha stood tall and composed, exuding an aura of invincibility.

Throughout the encounter, it seemed as if it hadn’t moved an inch from its original position.

“Hiss!”

At this moment, varying degrees of gasps filled the cockpits of the remaining mechas participating in the siege.

Mental power waves spread through the air, echoing with shock and disbelief.

If the previous defeat of the two level four Skull Crushers could be attributed to lack of strength and surprise, then the current frontal three-on-one encirclement ending in complete annihilation spoke volumes.

This only meant…

There was an insurmountable gap in raw power between the two sides.

The target of their mission… had a strength far beyond anyone’s expectations!

“Too weak…”

Suspended in mid-air, Lu Yuan stretched his body.

His gaze swept casually across the mechas before him, and he let out a light sigh.

“You all… don’t even make me want to use my weapon…”

I must admit, after devouring two level four Skull Crushers, the strength of my mecha’s body increased significantly. Plus, unlocking the [Wind Tamer (Legendary)] professional panel and gaining the benefit of “wind power” has propelled my combat capabilities to a whole new level.

The combat skills I honed as a martial arts Grandmaster are even more easily executed within the mecha, and they’ve evolved to an even higher level than before.

My approach has always been one of brute force domination. Speed wasn’t particularly a weakness, but it wasn’t a strength either.

Now, thanks to the [Wind Tamer], speed has become my main advantage, turning my combat style even more aggressive and domineering.

“Together!”

Finally, the purple mecha, which had been hovering up high and observing the situation coldly, began to take Lu Yuan seriously.

“Iron Thorn Formation!”

The purple mecha carved an elegant arc through the sky. Seemingly out of nowhere, it wielded a spear like it was crafted from amethyst, charging towards Lu Yuan with unstoppable force.

At the moment it took action, the other mechas, ranging from level 4 to level 5, seemed to receive some command.

Their formation quickly dispersed and then rapidly contracted.

Streams of mental power intertwined in the air, forming a peculiar construct, like a huge net bristling with spikes that continuously shrank, aiming to engulf Lu Yuan at the center.

Faced with this unprecedented mecha formation aimed to strangle, and the oppressive force emanating from the air around him, Lu Yuan felt not fear, but excitement.

Regression of power, a strange world, a new power system…

The fiercely competitive blood of the Grandmaster within him had been dormant for too long. Now, under the pressure of such a siege, it finally began to stir again.

“Don’t just look intimidating, but crumble like a paper tiger at a mere touch…”

Lu Yuan laughed heartily, retracting his arms before suddenly launching them outward.

With a wide-open stance, as if embracing the heavens, he directly confronted the lightning-fast descending purple spear shadow.

“Wind Demon: Mad Dance Swallowing Dragon!”

Lu Yuan softly chanted.

In an instant, the colossal frame of his mecha delivered countless punches outward.

One after another, jet-black halos flared like black suns rising steadily into the sky.

With the wind power enhancement from the [Wind Tamer (Legendary)] professional panel, the upper limit of Lu Yuan’s [Divine Elephant Devours the Dragon] had been significantly elevated.

Where once he could only execute a single Swallowing Dragon, he now unleashed ten, even dozens, of strikes!

Despite having only two arms now, the explosive force he generated in a split second surpassed even the Eight-Armed Asura form of the past.

Hundreds of Swallowing Dragons overlapped, merging countless black halos into an unimaginably massive black light wheel.

This wheel seemed capable of devouring everything.

Not only that, a massive whirlwind churned the ground below, sweeping up sand, stones, and flames as it ascended visibly to the naked eye.

In that moment, the whirlwind and the black sun combined, creating a terrifying scene reminiscent of a miniature apocalypse!

“Boom!”

The “Iron Thorn” strangulation formation composed of over ten mechas was instantly torn apart by the black sun and whirlwind.

The descending streak of purple lightning was completely engulfed by the black sun.

A gigantic shockwave erupted from high above.

“Boom-“

The shockwave spread out, flattening all the surrounding structures left in the aftermath of the explosion, rendering the area into complete ruins.

As the clamor gradually subsided, the battered mechas, hurled away by the shockwave, stared in awe at the heart of the battleground.

In that moment, two mechas stood silently, facing each other.

The purple one, elegant in design and shimmering in a violet hue, held a spear with both hands, poised in a thrusting stance.

In front of this purple mecha, towering over it like a nightmarish presence, was the terrifying dark blue mecha. It stood gripping the tip of the spear with one hand, looking down from above.

“Your strength… is just a bit lacking.”

Lu Yuan remarked softly, releasing the purple mecha’s spear from his grasp.

With his right hand, he flicked the tip of the spear lightly.

“Clang-“

A sound as crisp as crystal resonated through the air.

The Spear trembled as the purple mecha staggered back a couple of steps, looking disheveled.

“Damn it!”

After finally dispelling the resonance force lingering on the Spear, the purple mecha’s eyes lit up. Gritting her teeth, her entire frame blurred with afterimages in the air, and she charged at Lu Yuan once more.

“Resonance Technique-Violet Mourning!”

The purple Spear, shimmering with crystal hues, tore through the air, casting numerous spear shadows.

With the mental power enhancement of level 6, the countless spear shadows formed a beautiful and intricate pattern in the air. It vividly portrayed the full cycle of a violet from blooming to withering.

The Spear relentlessly struck the dark blue mecha, producing a series of “Clink Clank” sounds as it seemed to hit its mark repeatedly.

Yet, as the purple mecha completed its full resonance attack, the violet shadows cast by the Spear gradually dissipated.

Panting, she checked the results of her attack, her expression freezing on her face.

The tip of her Spear was lightly blocked by a single alloy-glossed finger, while the dark blue mecha opposite her hadn’t even budged.

The sharp, ringing sounds from the Spear’s impacts were all due to collisions between its tip and the armored finger.

Her spear, unleashed under a resonance technique, had been completely intercepted.

What kind of terrifying speed, reflexes, and inhuman combat consciousness were needed for this?!

Inside the purple mecha, a slender figure soaked in Modulation Liquid trembled slightly all over, continuously murmuring in a daze.

“Impossible… How can this be…”

“Such an impressive display…”

Lu Yuan looked at the purple mecha before him with an admiring gaze, then sighed softly, “But it’s reduced to just that-an impressive display.”

With that, he released the tip of the Spear from his finger.

His right hand vanished abruptly and reappeared silently, palm pressing against the chest of the purple mecha before him.

The sudden, overwhelming force gave the purple mecha, still in shock, no time to react. With a thunderous “boom,” her chest caved in as she was sent flying backward.

“In the end, you still couldn’t make me use my weapon…”

Lu Yuan casually sent the purple mecha flying and calmly surveyed the remaining mechas on the field before speaking. Then his figure suddenly vanished.

The next moment, he reappeared abruptly in front of a red-white mecha that stood dumbfounded, unsure of what to do.

“Boom!”

With a casual slap, the massive alloy head of the bewildered red-white mecha was smacked straight into its chest cavity by Lu Yuan.

The entire machine body plummeted from the sky like a stone.

After dealing with that, Lu Yuan disappeared once more.

“Boom!”

Another level 5 mecha came crashing down.

And then the next one…

“Eight…nine…ten…”

Below, Lu Feng diligently recorded each mecha falling from the sky as Lu Yuan casually called out the count.

Just as he reached the eleventh, his personal terminal suddenly vibrated.

Lu Feng’s expression shifted as he was about to check it, but a communication was forcibly connected.

The authoritative voice of Lu Lingfeng came through the line.

“Lu Feng.”

“I’m here, master.”

Lu Feng frowned slightly but quickly composed himself, responding in a low voice.
