"You're courting death!"
Zheng Baowen sneered, the green arcane energy on his great saber intensifying as he slashed directly at the charging Ye Feng.
Ye Feng's expression was grim. Three meters away from Zheng Baowen, his silver phantom suit instantly accelerated, reaching Zheng Baowen in a flash.
"You..."
"Crack... crack... clang!"
Under Zheng Baowen's astonished gaze, Ye Feng manipulated the silver phantom suit's hands to grip Zheng Baowen's green mecha's wrists and twisted them violently to the side, instantly rotating them 180 degrees.
The great saber in Zheng Baowen's green mecha's hand clattered to the ground. Ye Feng swiftly kicked, sending the saber flying far away.
"Kid, you...
And after his elbow strike, the silver phantom suit's elbow also erupted with silver-white light...
"Boss, are you okay?"
At this moment, Zheng Baowen piloted his mecha over, looking concerned, shock etched on his face. "Just now, those were arcane energy needles... That... that kid... knows how to use the silver phantom suit?"
"This mecha's spark is a bit strange... I seemed to sense a peculiar arcane energy fluctuation just now..."
"And judging from the combat performance of Chu Sheng and the others, these arcane energy needles seem to be the mechas' fighting style? Rather than my previous understanding of mechas?"
Ye Feng didn't continue fighting Chu Sheng and Zheng Baowen. He was scrutinizing the silver phantom suit's spark with keen interest.
"Ugh, harrumph!"
Chu Sheng grunted, looking at Xu Kuang, who had been squinting. "Xu Kuang, let's go together. This kid of unknown origin is not as simple as he appears!"
"My lords, being a spectator isn't a pleasant experience, is it?"
Xu Kuang chuckled, looking at Chu Sheng and Zheng Baowen, clearly referring to their inaction during his fight with Han Xianxing earlier.
"Mr. Xu, you jest. With you finding the Spark Record this time, you will surely be summoned by the City Lord upon reaching Mech City. Your status will not be below ours,"
"It's even possible you'll be directly appointed to the Secret Mech Academy!"
Chu Sheng had lost his earlier composure, and his dismissive tone had vanished.
Ye Feng turned to glance in Qiu Ying's direction and found her maneuvering her intermediate defense mecha against A Kun's yellow-green mecha. She didn't seem to be at a disadvantage, so he turned his attention back to Chu Sheng, Xu Kuang, and Zheng Baowen.
"Today's events are truly quite surprising!"
Xu Kuang took a few steps toward Ye Feng. Suddenly, a bright light erupted from him, and he instantly transformed into a massive electric-winged crocodile.
However, he didn't attack Ye Feng. Instead, he abruptly twisted his body to the rear right and fiercely swiped his front claw at an empty spot.
"Bang! Pfft!"
A dull impact sound echoed, and the empty space suddenly spat out a large cloud of blood mist.
Following that, a figure cloaked in black slowly appeared in everyone's view, flying backward in a certain direction and crashing heavily onto the ground, becoming still.
"Shadow Soldier!"
Upon seeing this, Han Xianxing's face drastically changed.
"Hmph, the reason Xu Xiong could stealthily approach us and throw bombs made of arcane ore powder at us was because of that guy, right!"
"Chameleon's enhanced serum... what a waste..."
Xu Kuang glanced at Xu Xiong, who had lost too much blood and lay unconscious on the ground, with disdain.
Seeing this, Han Xianxing was furious. He pushed Han Qiuli aside and gritted his teeth. White light surged from his chest, but the next second, he let out a "Pfft!" and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Father!"
Han Qiuli rushed to Han Xianxing's side, supporting his swaying body.
"Han Xianxing, oh Han Xianxing, you've used the Tyrannosaurus Rex's power too many times. Your body has long been hollowed out, and you didn't have much time left."
"Coupled with your forceful consumption of scarlet matter to transform, which was then reversed, you've completely exhausted your body's potential. You can no longer transform into the Tyrannosaurus Rex with your own strength!"
Xu Kuang appeared unfazed by this.
As he spoke, a flash of light appeared in his hand, and a glass bottle the size of a thermos appeared in his grasp.
"This much scarlet matter is enough for you to transform. Although, after using it, you'll be destined to burn out completely!"
With that, Xu Kuang tossed the scarlet matter into Han Xianxing's hand.
"This..."
Han Xianxing, who had instinctively reached out to take it, was stunned. Han Qiuli was equally confused.
Was Xu Kuang being so kind? Giving Han Xianxing the elixir, hoping he would transform into the Tyrannosaurus Rex?
"Xu Kuang, what are you doing? Are you crazy?"
Chu Sheng's side was also very bewildered.
Xu Kuang didn't answer. He quietly stared at Han Xianxing, seemingly very interested in whether Han Xianxing would take the scarlet matter.
"Hmph, coward!"
Xu Kuang snorted, turned back, and looked at Ye Feng. "Kid, did you kill Wen Zi Zi and Xiao Xun?"
Ye Feng didn't reply. He realized that Xu Kuang wasn't as simple as he seemed, and the former was likely waiting for some opportunity.
"Not talking, huh... Don't worry, later you'll even spill about how you secretly watched the older sister next door bathe when you were three years old!"
Xu Kuang sneered and lunged at Ye Feng.
Chu Sheng and Zheng Baowen, who had retrieved his great saber, piloted their mechas closely behind him.
