Chapter 1321: The Exchange Of Attack And DefenseTranslator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was most peculiar and there was certainly something odd about his mecha turning mirror-like. Huang Zhengyang was confused after looking at the injury on the Indefinite Blue Emperors waist. The attack earlier was not as simple as it seemed. Not only it was using his martial souls strength, but it was a strike launched from the combination of his martial soul and mecha. An ordinary black mecha that was struck by such a blow would certainly lose its capacity to fight even if it did not fall apart to pieces. Yet, the depth of the wound on the Indefinite Blue Emperors waist appeared to be less than half a foot.
Both of them were gazing fixedly at one another. The tense atmosphere in the air had became even more solemn. None of them took the lead to launch another attack, as they were judging the status of their own mechas while sensing the change in each other simultaneously.
The audiences could see the wounds on both mechas clearly through the large screens. Both sides had sustained significant damage.
Huang Zhengyang was still the genuine pillar of the empire in their hearts. The Tang Sects Sect Master was actually capable of rivalling Huang Zhengyang in the mecha battle, so he had already proven his ability sufficiently. This had also made the crowd anticipate the following matches in the Battle of Five Gods even more.
The Blue Emperor Spear was raised somewhat while the Indefinite Blue Emperors upper body bent forward ever so slightly. In the next moment, it charged forward like dark blue lightning.
This time, he took the initiative to strike first.
The Despair Reaper stood on the spot. It had not taken the lead to launch an attack this time. The Despair Scythe in its hand had been damaged damaged, greatly affecting his ability to fight.
The Indefinite Blue Emperor moved unusually swiftly. The thrusters on its back were almost completely open. The speed of a black mecha at full throttle was truly shocking and it was even common for such a mecha to break through the sound barrier within a short period of time.
The Despair Reaper squatted and lowered its body ever so slightly. It watched as the Indefinite Blue Emperor dashed its way to its front when it suddenly skid to the side and thrust the Despair Scythe in its hand forth. It was attempting to strike at the wound on the Indefinite Blue Emperors waist.
The timing of the attack was extremely precise and its horizontal slide was perfectly executed. The Indefinite Blue Emperor continued to charge forward and it was almost as if the Blue Emperor was throwing itself upon the opponents scythe. Meanwhile, the Indefinite Blue Emperors spear thrust would certainly miss.
Attacking fast while defending against a counterattack at an even faster speed, the Despair Reaper swung its scythe cleanly and precisely.
Soon, both sides were about to pass one another. The Indefinite Blue Emperor, charging forward like an unstoppable force, suddenly changed. It completely defied the laws of physics as it adjusted itself instantaneously in the air, still moving toward the Despair Reaper.
Even for someone with years of combat experience like Huang Zhengyang, he could not help feeling incredulous as he saw this.
This was simply unimaginable. He could not understand how the opponent had altered his trajectory in a split second. It was a supersonic dash followed by sudden change of direction. Even if the mecha itself was capable of handling the tremendous torque produced, the mecha master on the inside should not have been able to withstand it! Moreover, the mecha master would still need to pilot the mecha this while trying not to lose control of it and also attacking the opponent, all at the same time. It was all too much.
Huang Zhengyang could perform a change of direction in the air as well, but he would need to pause for adjustment. It would not take long but it would definitely be longer than what Tang Wulin had just done, which was an instant change.
Boom! Both mechas collided into one another once again. The Despair Reapers scythe had no choice but to engage in the collision with the Blue Emperor Spear once again. The Emperor had intended this, but the Reaper had not. The Despair Reaper staggered backward as it fell back for a few steps after being tackled by the Indefinite Blue Emperor.
The Indefinite Blue Emperor was not in a forgiving mood. It shook the Blue Emperor Spear in its hand and conjured countless spear shadows to encircle the Despair Reaper. In the eyes of the audience, the Indefinite Blue Emperor seemed to have vanished and fused into the spear tips.
It was Tang Wulins spearsoul! He had used his mecha to unleash the power of the spearsoul.
The Star Luo Empires high-ranking mecha masters among the spectators had a change of countenance upon witnessing this scene. It was already very rare to see a person possessing the pinnacle of martial soul combat capability, such as a spearsoul or swordsoul. Someone that could even fuse his spearsoul into his mecha and utilize its power through the mecha was extremely rare.
There was no doubt that Tang Wulin had done that. One could tell just from looking at the battle that he was a genius mecha master too!
At this point! A dash of white sparkles was tossed out from the Despair Reapers body. It formed into a massive arc of white light that covered the spear tips. There were intense clashing sounds akin to raindrops falling rhythmically upon banana leaves. People had lost count of how many collisions had occurred between the two mechas.
Whether it was the spear or scythe, the weapons continued to wave about within a small area. Very few people managed to see the collision between both of them clearly.
On the platform, the Smiley Face Douluos lips cracked into a smile. The events taking place seemed to be making his grin widen. There was even pride in the depths of his eyes.
This was not because Tang Wulin was the Sect Master of the Tang Sect, but because his sudden deflection attack earlier most certainly looked just like the result of fusing the Body Sects Innate Secret Technique into a mecha battle!
Ordinarily, neither a mecha nor its pilot would have been capable of withstanding such an impact, but what if the mecha master was a disciple of the Body Sect? By relying on his superhuman physical attributes, he may have been able to endure the process. There were solutions for the mecha as well. The mecha master would need to take such maneuvers into account when he was forging the mecha. Increasing the quality of the mechas material and fabrication process could be achieved by forgoing some other functions.
It was quite obvious that Tang Wulins mecha had made the most of this. As a result, his mecha was equipped with such unique capabilities.
How could the Smiley Face Douluo, who had always had a deep, emotional connection to the Body Sect, not feel proud upon seeing how the Body Sects technique was used in one of the matches in the Battle of Five Gods?
The Indefinite Blue Emperor and the Despair Reapers close range collision had already achieved its climax. None of them could yield even the slightest bit. At that exact moment, an outburst by either opponent could very possibly result in the end of this competition.
Huang Zhengyang was feeling ever more astonished the longer he fought. He had examined his own ability and reached a conclusion that he had already achieved perfection in his mecha operating skills, as far as an ordinary person could. He was capable of utilizing every detail of the mecha sufficiently to launch the most ingenious attacks. Moreover, he would unleash his fighting capacity constantly as he attacked, suppressing his opponent.
After considering his own skills, he reached the conclusion that his speculation as to Tang Wulins abilities was entirely correct. Comparing their mecha operating prowess, there was still a great distance between himself and this opponent. Nevertheless, his opponent still managed to hold his own throughout the entire battle. It was apparent that many of the opponents attacks originated in his body before being unleashed through the mecha. The opponent managed to perform many actions that defied physics with ease.
Frequently, the Indefinite Blue Emperor would need to perform in five to six counter-reactions to withstand and disable each attack from the Despair Reaper. Judging from the efficiency, it was obvious that Tang Wulin was much weaker. Even so, the Indefinite Blue Emperor still managed to match him beat for beat.
In other words, Tang Wulin used a few times more energy when operating his mecha than Huang Zhengyang.
At the start of the battle, as was his habit, Huang Zhengyang had assumed that Tang Wulin would be exhausted very quickly if this continued.
However, he had to throw out this preconceived notion by this point. Their collisions were growing more and more intense, but the Indefinite Blue Emperor did not show the slightest sign of tiring. The opponents spearsoul was fused into the mecha to reduce the disparity between their operating skills. There was also the addition of the continuous collisions.
Was this man still human?
As he pondered on this, Huang Zhengyang was well aware that he could not allow the situation to simply continue. He had yet to see the opponents limit, but he was already about to reach his own.
His entire body was feeling sore, which meant that his piloting skills would begin to weaken. Even though he was also a Title Douluo powerhouse, his priority was still his mecha. His physical capabilities were almost the same as an ordinary Title Douluo.
The Despair Reapers body suddenly spun about violently, as if he had transformed into the Death Spintop once again. He deflected countless attacks from the Indefinite Blue Emperor instantly. This time, Huang Zhengyang had already pushed the Despair Reapers energy to the highest level while he combined his soul power with his mecha completely. A wisp of white sparkles shot out at lightning speed as it made a surprise attack just as the Indefinite Blue Emperors blow was pushed away.
The attack happened so swiftly that it was impossible for the Indefinite Blue Emperor to attempt to dodge anymore. Its Blue Emperor Spear did not have time to block a blow from below either. It was obvious that the white sparkle was the other scythe that appeared before, the Reaper Scythe.
Both of them were a short distance from one another. Huang Zhengyangs gathered his strength and intentionally feigned slight fatigue beforehand just to set up this rapid outburst, hoping that Tang Wulin would be rendered helpless.
There was no need for him to see with his eyes whatsoever. Huang Zhengyang had complete confidence that his Reaper Scythe was about to cut into the wound on the Indefinite Blue Emperors waist just by relying on his combat experience.
Other than the protective shield, the metal on the outermost layer of the mecha was its strongest defense. When the external shield was compromised, the next attack would be more damaging.
Huang Zhengyang had already decided that he would stop before damaging the pilots cabin when his Reaper Scythe cut into the opponents mecha. After all, his opponent was the new Sect Master of the Tang Sect, so he could not simply kill him just like that.
