Gu Ya, inside Fengwu 2,
suddenly went black,
followed by the "ping-pong-pa-la" sound of mech parts being compressed.
At this moment, Rui Zi's low yet pleasant voice came: "Little brother, surrender now, and I'll spare your life."
Gu Ya gritted his teeth, quickly activating all executable mech movements.
The gap around him was shrinking. If he didn't act soon, the assembled mech would be unable to perform any maneuvers.
Even the cockpit would be crushed and shattered.
"Surrender. Admitting you're inferior is not shameful," Rui Zi said.
Gu Ya's eyes hardened.
Under any circumstances, he would not utter words of surrender.
You can defeat my body, but you cannot crush my spirit!
Gu Ya glared, his face contorted in a snarl, operating the mech with even faster movements.
In fact, if he were to use his exoskeleton armor to escape the cockpit and touch the opponent's mech, he could deliver a fatal blow with [Code Tampering].
However, Gu Ya could not tolerate doing such a thing.
While Code Tampering was powerful, it offered no help to his mech piloting skills.
It also could not unlock the potential found in desperate situations!
He wanted to use his full strength, all his skills, and rack his brains to carve a bloody path to the light from this desperate juncture!
"What nonsense!"
Gu Ya roared, controlling the mech to cross its arms and grab its shoulder armor, then tore it off with a forceful pull. Simultaneously, his fingers rapidly probed into the shattered armor.
His mechanical fingers precisely hooked the power cable connected to the mech's arm and, with a strong tug, severed the cable.
Instantly, countless blue currents erupted from the shoulder gap, crackling loudly!
The mech's system alarm sounded simultaneously: "Alarm! Upper limb bilateral power cable damaged, skill reduced to 13%, engaging backup cable for power supply. Energy conduits will simultaneously engage backup lines..."
Gu Ya's gaze was sinister, and he spoke coldly, "No. Engage simplified piloting mode, shield all data sensors!"
Mech simplified piloting mode could shield all monitoring data. Regardless of the mech's state, as long as communication lines and energy conduits were intact, the mech could move.
However, simplified mode was also a suicide mode.
In simplified mode, due to the inability to monitor all data, the cockpit's ecological simulation system could not function properly.
Simultaneously, the mech would perform actions without restraint, easily damaging the cockpit, causing scratches, breaches, cuts, or even deforming the cockpit through compression!
The mech pilot inside the cockpit would become literal meat encased in iron!
Gu Ya narrowed his eyes, quickly pulling back the "Simplified Mode" button's protective cover, and pressed it rapidly without hesitation!
The assembled mech suddenly moved with greater agility, as if all restraints had been unlocked!
Gu Ya's gaze was cold, and he roared inwardly:
[Death Lightning Blade Spiral]!
Various thrusters on the assembled mech suddenly erupted with icy blue flames, and the mecha began to rotate rapidly in place.
Countless currents hissed from the shoulder armor's cracks,
The assembled mech's white beam sword, imbued with electricity, carried lightning as it madly slashed at everything it could touch!
"Peng leng pa la hong—!" A chaotic, immense noise echoed in the increasingly cramped chest cavity.
Gu Ya's gaze remained cold, his eyes still fierce.
The exterior of the cockpit gradually began to creak under pressure, with huge indentations appearing on the walls.
This was caused by the mechanical parts colliding with the cockpit as the mech performed its actions without restraint.
"Faster! Faster!" Gu Ya roared, pushing the energy input and control stick to the limit with all his might.
Fengwu 2's contraction movements became more pronounced!
The assembled mech's rotation speed increased!
The cockpit's indentation deepened,
reaching Gu Ya's pilot seat.
Gradually, the underside of Gu Ya's pilot seat also began to deform, pushing him towards the ceiling.
He simply jumped, crouching before the control panel, and used all his strength to stabilize the mech!
The assembled mech's electric blades continuously tore at everything, and violent currents were furiously channeled into Fengwu 2.
"Faster, faster!"
The cockpit behind Gu Ya had already deformed to the point where it could no longer be moved freely. If it didn't stop, he would be crushed to death by the cockpit!
With a deafening "Boom—!", a strong tremor ran through,
Fengwu 2 finally ceased its contraction and slowly extended its body, the space within the chest indentation widening.
Gu Ya quickly adjusted the mech's movements,
The wildly spinning assembled mech gradually came to a halt,
and the cockpit's compression also stopped.
The pilot seat, pushed to the ceiling, was now too deformed to be occupied. Gu Ya's back was pressed against the cockpit wall behind him. Ten centimeters further forward, and he would have been crushed to death.
"It stopped..."
Gu Ya's gaze was cold, not daring to delay, as he didn't know if this was a temporary stop or something else. He had to escape the opponent's chest now.
The assembled mech, dragging its tattered body, raised its arms and heavily chopped at the thick armor in front.
After a dozen rapid chops, sunlight finally streamed in from outside.
With another series of unrestrained slashes, the assembled mech erupted in flames and directly broke through the final obstacle, flying out of Fengwu 2.
At this moment, Gu Ya looked back,
Fengwu 2 lay prone on the ground, emitting chaotic currents and twitching uncontrollably.
Its chest had a gaping hole, and sunlight streamed in. The mech parts inside were ruined by Gu Ya.
It looked like a corpse with a bleeding hole in its chest.
Gu Ya raised his head and looked at Fengwu 1, saying coldly, "It's not over yet!"
Qiao Weiwei's voice came: "Hahahaha! Trying to act tough until the end, huh! So what if you defeated Rui Zi? I'm still here!"
Fengwu 1's mech suddenly erupted in flames and flew from high above towards Gu Ya.
"Full firepower output!"
Fengwu 1's entire armor suddenly split open, revealing numerous warheads, gun barrels, and cannon barrels.
"You foul-mouthed little brother, have you ever seen a phoenix? Get a glimpse before you die!"
"Ultimate Skill! Phoenix Feather Radiance!!!"
Fengwu 1 spread its limbs. Its entire outer armor lit up with dozens of dazzling red light bands along its winding lines.
Then, all of Fengwu 1's weapons, whether missiles, beam cannons, beam bullets, Gatling guns, pod missiles, or cluster missiles, countless types of long-range offensive weapons, were all unleashed!
Fengwu 1 flew in the sky, emitting white, black, and red smoke.
Countless white beam weapons shot through the smoke!
Countless missiles rocketed out, trailing smoke!
Cluster warheads split in the air, dispersing more micro-missiles that fired indiscriminately!
They all had one target:
Gu Ya's assembled mech.
For a fleeting moment, Gu Ya truly saw a massive phoenix soaring in the sky, and the rain of missiles and laser beams seemed like feathers falling from its body.
Impossible...
Gu Ya stared blankly overhead, at the torrent of deadly weapons, filled only with despair.
The assembled mech could no longer perform any ultimate maneuvers.
Even if it could, the damaged cockpit would continue to constrict, crushing Gu Ya to death.
This was not something that extreme willpower could overcome.
In the face of ultimate weapons, humans were so insignificant.
But,
Gu Ya steeled himself.
"Even if I die, I will fight to the death!"
"Unreservedly, unleash ultimate skills!"
Gu Ya's snarling face suddenly contorted into a grim smile,
"I, Gu Ya, have never been afraid!"
Gu Ya roared, "All skills enabled!"
"Enough!"
Suddenly, a strange woman's voice came from the communicator, calm and commanding.
Gu Ya was stunned, thinking it was his imagination.
But immediately, a magnificent, large crimson mech flew in front of Gu Ya's assembled mech.
It completed its stopping and attacking maneuvers in the blink of an eye, then unleashed countless unknown long-range offensive weapons from its body.
Targeting the incoming weapons of Fengwu 1, it fired furiously.
In an instant, the sky erupted in a blaze,
Countless explosions and shockwaves reverberated.
Numerous white beam weapons struck the crimson mech,
but were blocked by the immense crimson mech.
Gu Ya, like a weakling behind a giant, watched the spectacular and deadly explosion.
Soon, the explosions subsided, and missile debris poured down like rain onto the ground.
The thick, vast smoke in the sky had not yet dispersed,
when Fengwu 1 suddenly burst out of the smoke, charging directly at Gu Ya!
"Who dares to stop me!!!" Qiao Weiwei roared in anger!
"Weiwei!!!" That woman's angry yet calm voice came again.
Fengwu 1 suddenly stopped its charge and slowly halted in mid-air.
Qiao Weiwei, stunned, said, "Mas... Master??? Weren't you on a mission overseas?"
Immediately, Qiao Weiwei changed her tone, calling out happily and cutely, "Master, I missed you so much!"
Fengwu 1 rapidly flew in front of the large crimson mech.
In front of the crimson mech, Fengwu 1's colossal size even appeared somewhat diminished.
The woman, suppressing her anger, said, "Give me an explanation. What happened?"
At this moment, Li Fang's excited shout came: "Oh ho!!! That was so f***ing awesome!!! The clash between the two quasi-battle gods of Xianxia, absolutely brilliant!"
The crimson mech slowly turned, fixing its sharp gaze on Li Fang's green and white mech.
Li Fang immediately shut up.
Then, the crimson mech slowly turned its body to look at Gu Ya's assembled mech.
"And you!"
