Hei Deng Xia Huo

Chapter 780 Ship Slaying

Being a pseudo-beast, possessing at most a fraction of the original's power, it was deemed dangerous and unusable by the Xianxue predecessors during a failed biological experiment. All were executed and buried in the hidden corners of the Demon Prison Cave, cut off from the outside world.

After a long time, these forgotten pseudo-beasts had died beyond death, with only a small amount of their former power remaining in their bodies.

The frontline expedition team painstakingly brought some of the beast corpses away from the graveyard.

The magnetic fluid that forms the Kui Niu mecha is essentially the bone marrow of the Kui Niu's corpse, and the so-called artificial intelligence auxiliary system is a trace of the Kui Niu's soul fragment.

Ding Zhens嗣's act of running the magnetohydrodynamic fluid through his entire body removed the functional restrictions of the Kui Niu mecha itself, and also caused a collision and fusion between himself and the remnant will of the Kui Niu.

The equipment technology departments of the Exotic Society and the Special Affairs Bureau have done their best to eliminate the influence of the remaining soul fragments,

But how can a mortal body perfectly bear the will of a ferocious beast?

Every second after the restrictions are lifted, Ding Zhens嗣 is competing with the voice in his head.

The Kui Niu's will, the hatred and resentment of being betrayed by the creator, the sadness and loneliness of being forgotten, the self-loathing, pain, and confusion,

Constantly affecting his mind and body, inducing him to lose himself and indulge in the joy of killing and destruction.

Kill, kill, kill!

Kill, kill, kill!

As long as I destroy everything in front of me, I won't be in pain anymore!

By now, more magnetohydrodynamic fiber bundles had grown out of the Kui Niu mecha,

And subtle voices continued to ring in Ding Zhens嗣's ears inside the cockpit.

The young man swung the high-frequency vibration blade again and again, completely numb to the fatigue and pain of his limbs.

But his eyes regained clarity.

"Shut up!"

Thump!

The high-frequency vibration blade was deeply inserted into the ground, and the noisy voices in his ears disappeared.

I am the pilot who controls the mecha. A smart AI should know its place.

"How much energy is left?"

Ding Zhens嗣's icy voice echoed in the cockpit.

The scarlet eyes projected on the cockpit's LCD screen stared straight at him, and finally, a low, hoarse electronic voice emitted.

[Mecha remaining energy, 2%]

Two percent... enough.

Ding Zhens嗣 firmly grasped his trembling hands, took a deep breath, and used a sweep to force Li Ang back, causing the latter to use the Ladder Cloud Ascent technique and leap into the air.

He himself, on the other hand, manipulated the scarred mecha, bent down, raised the dual-wielded longswords behind him, and adopted a sword stance.

[Skill Name: Zan Jian Dao · Jifeng Nudao (Battleship Slaying Blade: Gale and Storm)]

[Type: Melee]

[Effect: Zan Jian (Battleship Slaying). Toss the target up with a shore-pounding strike, then execute.]

[Consumption: 500 Stamina]

[Cooldown: 1 hour]

[Learning Conditions: Piloting a giant humanoid mechanical weapon, mecha not connected to external energy, and remaining energy below 5%]

[Note: Slices people, slices armor, slices battleships]

Jifeng Nudao (Gale and Storm)!

The two vector propulsion jets squeezed the remaining energy, spraying out the last cyan flames, propelling the heavy mecha to leap up,

The high-frequency vibration blade in his hand transformed into crashing waves, enveloping Li Ang.

"Ten minutes are up..."

Li Ang's faint voice sounded in mid-air. Before Ding Zhens嗣 could figure out the specific meaning of this sentence, he saw green light flashing from Li Ang's fingertips, and the whole person instantly disappeared from sight.

Buzz—

A faint vibration of air sounded behind him.

Ding Zhens嗣 only felt a flash of green light in the corner of his eye, and looked down in a daze, only to realize that his abdominal cavity had been penetrated by a green beam.

The self-healing combat suit was completely ineffective, and the already exhausted limbs were rapidly losing their remaining strength.

The mecha crashed heavily to the ground, smashing a crater.

The last scene in Ding Zhens嗣's eyes was the figure in the dragon head lab coat, stepping down on invisible steps, and taking out the shards of the beer bottle he had previously nailed into the mecha's seams from behind the incomplete mecha.

The Jing Jie Chuan Xing (Mirror Realm Traverse) teleport effect of the [Abyssal Magic Mirror] has a 10-minute cooldown.

Li Ang stalled for ten minutes, constantly consuming the mecha's energy.

At the moment the cooldown was over, he activated the special effect, flashed behind the mecha, and used a Disintegrate spell to penetrate the armor that had no energy to support and maintain its strength, also taking away Ding Zhens嗣's last hope of victory.

As Ding Zhens嗣 lost too much blood and fell into a coma, this arena match also ended with a one-sided score of 10:0.

"So, it's too much to fight in the arena with a mecha.

Chopped off hands don't even count as points."

Li Ang casually put the beer bottle shards into his backpack, so as not to let the surrounding audience discover the essence of the skill.

He rubbed his wrist, bent down, and pried open the Kui Niu mecha's chest armor,

Pretending to check Ding Zhens嗣's injuries, helping him treat the bleeding wounds,

While secretly prying open the internal parts of the Kui Niu mecha, with the intention of moving the entire mecha into his backpack.

Unfortunately, before he could officially put it into practice, the entire mecha transformed back into magnetohydrodynamic fluid, splashing all over the ground, quickly shrinking and drilling back into Ding Zhens嗣's body,

And the Special Affairs Bureau staff, who had been waiting anxiously below the arena, also rushed onto the arena to check Ding Zhens嗣's condition.

"Brother Li!"

Xing Hechou's voice came from behind. Li Ang turned around and saw Lao Xing's face, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking righteous.

"Phew, thank you so much this time."

"Ah?"

Li Ang raised an eyebrow, thanking him for what? Thanking him for knocking out a kidney from the Special Affairs Bureau agent?

"I know you were hiding your strength."

Xing Hechou said solemnly: "If it weren't for you this time, if it were any other player, Comrade Ding might have suffered more and more serious injuries.

Or he would have been strangled in the cradle before he could exert all his strength, and then lost his fighting spirit.

Thank you, Brother Li."

No thanks, Taro.

Li Ang waved his hand, "He did it all himself, it has nothing to do with me. It's you guys who can develop this kind of thing..."

He glanced at Ding Zhens嗣, who was being lifted up by a floating stretcher and drifting towards the medical pod, and said seriously, "You're really amazing."

If the Special Affairs Bureau could have large-scale, practical mecha weapons, then it wouldn't be bad for Li Ang either—the security in Yin City and other places would be better in the future, and his identity as "Li Ang" would be maintained longer.

Xing Hechou chuckled. He didn't really know much about the equipment technology department.

The two stood there awkwardly for a while. Li Ang, who had recovered almost all of his strength, made an excuse to buy something to eat and returned to the audience.
