Skeleton Elf
Chapter 462 Spare No Effort; Make a Name in This Battle!
The lunar audience was about to jump for joy, holding their breath for the final moment. Tianjing Mech Fighters were very good at turning the tables; they couldn't be given a chance. But they really couldn't see any chance for Cheng Konghai.
As they were talking, suddenly the Phantom vanished, dashing to Iron Armor Steel Fist's side and feinting a sword strike. Cheng Konghai countered, but his rhythm was clearly off. The mech was slashed by the Phantom, and even with the Golden Zone's defense, a crack appeared. But Klein pulled back after the hit, continuously circling and attacking. Hunting, was it? This was a test of patience, and a prey he had waited five years for wasn't to be finished off so easily.
With constant harassment and attacks, Cheng Konghai's reactions were quite good. With only one leg and one hand left, he still tried his best to resist the attacks, but it was becoming too much to defend. As for counterattacks, he didn't even think about it. At this point, any forceful lift-off would leave him with nothing. He could only stick to the ground, the entire surface filled with the Phantom's rapidly dashing figure, leaving behind streaks of grooves. Klein was venting as much as he wanted. Five years—let the world be filled with the blue of Klein's victory.
*Ceng… Dang dang dang dang…*
One strike after another, constantly reaping Iron Armor Steel Fist.
Finally, Iron Armor Steel Fist was battered and tottering. The Phantom pulled back again. In Klein's estimation, Iron Armor Steel Fist's power output was probably only thirty or forty percent at most. It was time to end the match.
The Abyss Mantis appeared, its massive form looming over the entire battlefield, while the Deep Space Ant was smaller, and Cheng Konghai's Golden Zone was weakening with constant depletion.
Klein in the air looked down at the tiny ant. The feeling of elation was hard to describe. Of course, even now, he knew the ant was definitely not convinced and was still waiting for a chance. He really, really wanted to know what tricks the ant still had!
Klein's Golden Zone rose to its peak, leaving himself no escape route. The terrifying Abyss Reaper descended, and the Phantom was like a meteor falling from the sky. But at this moment, Iron Armor Steel Fist was just standing there alone; he had no room to retaliate.
At the Tianjing Mech Fighters' venue, everyone struggled to watch the huge screen, their hearts filled with agony and suffocation. Could Iron Armor Steel Fist still unleash another Nuclear Bomb Fist to create a miracle?
Crazy Warrior clenched his fists tightly, wondering if there was a power beyond the Nuclear Bomb Fist, a final strike to destroy Klein's miracle in one fell swoop. All the supporters of Tianjing Mech Fighters were expecting a miracle to happen.
But Maxis, Chao Qinglong, Basta, and the others could see very clearly that such a miracle was impossible. If there really was an attack surpassing the Nuclear Bomb Fist, Cheng Konghai would have used it long ago. Cheng Konghai's progress was in his overall skills, while Klein had created the ultimate killing move—Abyss Mantis Void Tear, the extreme of speed abilities. Five years of effort couldn't be erased, even if they were on different sides.
Abyss Mantis – Void Tear!
A head-on strike with unparalleled momentum pressed down. Iron Armor Steel Fist gathered all his remaining power in his left fist, preparing to meet the final blow.
*Om…*
Klein's Phantom disappeared—Shift and Swap???
At the most critical moment of the stalemate, the Phantom suddenly appeared behind Iron Armor Steel Fist. Two titanium swords, one piercing the back of the chest and the other slashing the leg. A hint of triumph appeared on Klein's lips. "Surprised? Unexpected?"
Who would have thought that, in a position of absolute advantage, he would feint a frontal attack and then launch a surprise attack? What could be a safer way to win?
Foolproof!
Suddenly, Iron Armor Steel Fist executed a single-legged spin, grabbing the bee sting aimed at his chest with his left hand, while his left leg was directly struck, but the titanium leg pressed down, jamming the titanium sword.
The two sides were finally entangled, face to face across the cockpits, steel muscles intertwined. *Boom…*
Deep Space Ant – Soul Intimidation!
The giant ant directly wrapped around the Abyss Mantis, and the two people’s Golden Zones completely overlapped, a contest of souls!
A soul confrontation was the cruelest form of confrontation. If one lost, unconsciousness would be the lightest outcome; they could even become a vegetable or die directly.
The smile was gone from Klein's face. The azure
power continued to erupt, the titanium sword in his hand desperately trying to pierce through. As long as it pierced through, the match would be over, and this soul contest would be directly interrupted.
But Iron Armor Steel Fist's entire strength was hanging on his titanium sword, his left hand gripping it as tightly as a pair of pliers.
Waves of soul intimidation bombarded him. Cheng Konghai's expression was calm. From the beginning, he had come with the intention of risking his life, even cooperating with Klein's emotions and rhythm. He never thought he could defeat Klein without paying a price.
*Boom boom boom boom…*
"Ant, you idiot, madman, psycho! Is it worth it? It's just a match! You're risking your life again! Isn't your damn life worth anything?" Klein roared, still coming!
It was one thing when he was young and impulsive, but he was so old now, why was he still risking his life? Shouting was just a slogan; he was a psycho.
Cheng Konghai grinned, his eyes directly fierce. "Surprised? Unexpected!"
Actually, at their level, he knew that he was still quite a bit behind after five years. He couldn't beat Klein anymore, but being unable to beat him was one thing, winning or losing was another. From the beginning, he and Klein were different. He had already died five years ago; every day since then was a bonus!
Falling into a soul duel meant that whoever wanted to determine the outcome had to be prepared to die. Who was afraid of whom? They were on the same level again!
The bloodthirsty ant frantically tore and entangled, while Klein counterattacked madly. The two sides exchanged blows wave after wave. At this time, another wave of giant insects arrived, swarming frantically towards the two entangled mechs. Cheng Konghai completely ignored them, just bombarding Klein wave after wave.
Klein was furious. He couldn't leave, and he couldn't let the giant insects hack them to death. The end result would be a draw.
Chao Qinglong and the others were calm. You couldn't reach their level without a bit of life-or-death awareness. In terms of strength, Klein was already stronger than Cheng Konghai, but once there was a difference in strength, it wasn't something you could overcome just by risking your life. This was something the ant had to face.
Want to die together? What a pipe dream!
With a low roar, Klein spat out a mouthful of blood. Immediately afterward, the Abyss Mantis opened its hidden wings, and the mech suddenly began to flicker. He was forcing a Shift and Swap even at the cost of injury. As long as he escaped, the ant would be a dead ant. He had run out of tricks!
But at this moment, Cheng Konghai also had blood seeping from his mouth and nose. The ground rumbled, and the damaged buildings, the ground, and all the objects began to bend in a regular manner. The entire battlefield… twisted strangely, and the Phantom that was about to disappear was forcibly squeezed back out.
Deep Space Ant Power Matrix – Distorted Space!
Although Cheng Konghai's face was covered in blood, he had a faint smile on his lips. Dealing with Klein was his destiny. If he had to pay a price, he was willing to accept it, but taking victory from him was a pipe dream!
Used at the crucial moment, at the crucial time, Klein's Shift and Swap was directly interrupted. Klein felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a cockroach. In other words, his previous two instances were fully capable of interrupting the opponent's ability. Damn it, he had endured this kind of move until now. This cunning old trickster was too shameless!
Klein had lost his composure, and his handsome face was twisted. He struggled desperately to break free, but the intense distorted space happened to interrupt his Shift and Swap, and each interruption caused him to suffer a strong backlash from the Golden Zone. Originally in the lead, he had aggravated his injuries more than Cheng Konghai after such a series of moves.
Maxis and Basta couldn't help but be moved. They hadn't expected Cheng Konghai to have such a trick up his sleeve, and that he could endure to this point. Everyone realized that with the Power Matrix Distorted Space, he could interrupt any form of attack. He could have avoided losing the previous two matches; it was all for this crucial round. Moreover, if he had used Distorted Space earlier when Klein was completely cautious, he would definitely have been pulled apart. If Klein had smelled any danger, this match would have been over. To interrupt the power of someone at Klein's level, distance was also extremely important, and it was even necessary to entangle him to this extent.
Everyone looked at Tianjing Mech Fighters. So, they were also waiting…
"Klein is cautious and prudent enough, but he always thinks about winning with an advantage, while what the ant is doing is seizing an opportunity to trade with the opponent. Klein is ahead by a bit, but he doesn't have that much of an advantage." Maxis said with emotion, "We still underestimated Li Ge."
Everyone sighed. Given the situation of Tianjing Mech Fighters, they dared to play so big, really ruthless. They said they were just participating, but damn it, they were here for the championship.
"Just now, if he hadn't been thinking about escaping, but about risking his life, he would have had at least a seventy percent chance of winning. After this series of moves, it's at most fifty-fifty," Basta said with a slight smile. This was probably one of the few problems with the moon people. The Martians were the most willing to risk their lives. The Earthlings were very strange; when they were brave, they were really brave, and when they were cowardly, they were really cowardly, depending on the person. But most of the moon people cherished their lives, and only risked their lives when they had no choice. This was also an understanding Basta had gained from winning the S8 championship.
"The ant has learned to be patient during this time, and has also let go of his pride," Chao Qinglong said with a smile. It was a true man who could take it up and put it down.
The Apocalypse members all considered themselves superior in their bones. To be targeted and lose two matches in full view, honestly, not everyone could hold it in. In this world, many people valued their face more than anything.
The entire venue and the live broadcast room were silent, shocked by the final fight between the two men. Which top warrior had a stronger desire for victory?!
On the battlefield, screw the giant insects, Klein was completely enraged. He knew he couldn't escape. If things continued like this, he might die first. He began a frantic counterattack. The two sides clashed souls, completely disregarding everything else. At the same time, the bee sting titanium sword was inserted into Iron Armor Steel Fist's body inch by inch. As long as it was inserted, he would win!
Even in the face of successive mistakes, Klein could still hold on, which only showed that his foundation was more solid. But Cheng Konghai's face was completely devoid of color. His healing in Paradise Island had restored his body, but the strength contained in his genes had weakened a lot. If he continued to fight like this, his gene chain would break.
But even so, there was no hesitation in Cheng Konghai's blood-red pupils. "The hunter will win!" "You damn ant!"
*Roar…*
The ultimate showdown between the Deep Space Ant and the Abyss Mantis, settling grievances and forging glory!
At this time, the giant insects were also attacking. This wave of giant insects was of a very high level, and their resistance was obviously much stronger. Countless giant insects advanced, stepping on the shattered bodies of their kind, hacking even if they only had a broken limb left.
Cheng Konghai and Klein's ultimate confrontation had also consumed too much. Before long, the two mechs were submerged by the massive number of giant insects. Accompanied by a deafening explosion, light and flames burst forth, and a gray-blue mushroom cloud rose into the air.
Alerts sounded in both command rooms at the same time. Paramedics rushed in, and Ma Long and Zhou Naiyi followed immediately. On the other side were An Lita and substitute member Sila.
When everything calmed down, the battlefield had been razed to the ground, everything turned to ashes. "First vanguard battle, Cheng Konghai vs. Klein, draw!"
The vanguard battle also told everyone the rhythm of this match: fight with everything, and make a name in this battle! This was the final.
