This time, Gu Ya finally felt a tangible force from the control lever that could no longer be pushed forward.
It seemed that in the enclosed environment, the opponent would not escape like the previous two times.
But that was all.
As Gu Ya peered into the gap, he noticed something that surprised and confused him.
The War God's battered mecha, with the thumb and index finger of its massive mechanical hand, was firmly gripping the inner edge of his beam sword!
It was known that the outer edge of a beam sword reached thousands of degrees Celsius, while the inner edge, made of higher purity alloy materials and other metal alloys, was even hotter, with enough power to slice through any mecha's external armor.
Gu Ya could never have believed such a thing could happen.
In a human duel, if one trained their body to the extreme, perhaps they could catch an opponent's fatal sword bare-handed.
But in mecha combat, no matter how strong a mecha pilot was, they couldn't use worn-out parts to resist advanced weaponry!
In mecha combat, the pilot's skill accounted for one aspect, and the mecha's functionality accounted for a large part of it.
Moreover, this was a world of technology, not a world of Xuanhuan Xianxia!
As expected, there was something wrong with this mecha; it wasn't as simple as it appeared!
With Gu Ya's current system mechanic abilities, he couldn't see through the mecha's sophistication. In the system's light screen analysis that vaguely appeared before him, there was only a very simple description of the battered mecha.
It was precisely because of this overly simple description that Gu Ya had underestimated the opponent and dared to use "full skill output" in the early stages of the battle.
The War God's battered mecha, cramped in the narrow shoulder space, was indeed uncomfortable. The entire body was already unnaturally bent, seemingly due to the "simplified mode" allowing the body to change posture drastically.
If that was the case, then the War God had a very deep understanding of this mecha.
But so what? Now he was a bird in a cage, and Gu Ya would not give him a chance to escape.
Next, Yueying raised the second beam sword and thrust it fiercely into the crack again.
At the same time, he drew out the first beam sword.
The two beam swords alternated their thrusts, and the force was perfectly controlled, ensuring that each strike hit the battered mecha without damaging Tai Hu's internal structure.
With the continuous thrusts, Gu Ya felt increasingly that something was wrong.
"All attacks were neutralized... No, not neutralized, but blocked," Gu Ya murmured.
Suddenly, Tai Hu's mecha began to twitch violently and erratically, likely due to functional failure caused by being struck by the battered mecha.
"Hey, the mecha is out of control, hey!!!" Sha Xin shouted in panic.
Gu Ya calmly said, "Hold steady!" controlling Yueying, he directly reached into the gap and grabbed the battered mecha by the neck.
"Let's see where you can escape now."
As soon as he spoke, Yueying's beam sword pierced into the gap and was once again gripped by the two fingers of the battered mecha at the blade's edge.
This time, Gu Ya finally saw the secret of this mecha.
It was indeed due to the external armor material that it became so resilient!
Moreover, Gu Ya recognized this material; it was very familiar!
"Young man, are you done playing?" the War God said calmly.
Gu Ya's heart trembled. The calmer the tone, the more composed the opponent was. His words were a warning to Gu Ya: I'm about to unleash my ultimate move!
The War God chuckled softly and suddenly called out softly, "Ultimate Skill!"
Not good!
Yueying immediately let go and rapidly retreated.
A chaotic series of sounds of parts and mechanical structures being destroyed, "Kuang Kuang Dang Dang," came from Tai Hu's massive body.
Gu Ya sensed something bad but could do nothing. He couldn't attack his teammate to expose the enemy. Judging by the sound of destruction, the battered mecha's destruction speed was very fast. Even if Gu Ya found the opponent's position based on the sound, the opponent would have already moved elsewhere after destroying the mecha.
Suddenly, thick black smoke billowed from Tai Hu's mecha, its body stiffened, and the engine instantly stalled.
The battered mecha emerged from the wound on Tai Hu's belly, scrambled up, and delivered a flying kick to Tai Hu's head.
Tai Hu leaned back, fell to the ground with a "hong tong" sound, and was easily destroyed by the War God.
"Alright, now it's your turn." The battered mecha was covered in dark oil stains, hovering above Tai Hu. The beam sword in its hand was incomparably sharp.
The opponent's ability to dodge Gu Ya's sharp attacks twice must mean they had something extraordinary.
Gu Ya had a sudden inspiration and thought of a trick.
Yueying surged forward at full speed towards the battered mecha, and Gu Ya shouted, "Ultimate Skill! [Blue Electric Wind]!"
But at the same time, he shouted inwardly, "All Skills Activated!"
Everything around him froze. Gu Ya could clearly see the trajectory of the battered mecha in front of him!
The moment Gu Ya shouted "Ultimate Skill," it had already moved away at ultra-high speed, using a special angle.
The afterimage left in its place was actually a controllable light particle.
As for its escape angle, it was naturally using light particle imaging to block Gu Ya's vision and fly in the opposite direction.
Three points formed a straight line. Gu Ya was on the left, his vision blocked by the afterimage, unable to see the right side.
The War God was on the right. Yueying's mecha was massive, so he could naturally see the opponent and adjust his flight angle based on Yueying's flight direction. It was a very simple and practical deceptive tactic.
This was also why he chose a mecha with a smaller frame!
However, satisfying only the above conditions would not be enough to deceive the eyes; another crucial element had to be met.
That was to constantly observe the opponent, predict their next move, and take preventative measures.
As expected of the War God, his combat experience, crisis response, countermeasures, and ultimate skill display were all top-notch.
If Gu Ya didn't have the cheat skill, he wouldn't have been able to decipher the War God's ultimate secret technique.
"All Skills Activated" time ended. Gu Ya already knew that the War God had flown behind Tai Hu and was hiding, observing him in secret.
No matter what mecha moves he made, they would be seen through by the battle-hardened War God at a glance.
"If that's the case..."
Yueying suddenly hovered in the air, turning its body backward, its back to the War God, waiting quietly.
Gu Ya also used this time to carefully consider a strategy.
To truly defeat the War God, he still had to solve one last problem.
The armor material of that battered mecha was not ordinary alloy material, but attack resonance material, the same as Xu Jie's black mecha.
Gu Ya had seen it before and remembered it vividly.
This material, like living tissue on its surface, would resonate with attacks energetically, thereby neutralizing them.
It was currently the pinnacle of material science technology.
And it was very inconvenient that Gu Ya's system store did not have this material. Logically, Gu Ya could find anything human-made and non-food-related in the system store.
Only this attack resonance material, Gu Ya could not find it no matter what.
Otherwise, the Youyin Mecha would truly be invincible in the world.
At this moment, the battered mecha slowly flew out from behind Tai Hu's massive wreckage, and the War God calmly said, "Young man, you are waiting for me, preparing to use stillness to overcome motion."
Alright, as expected of the number one War God of Xianxia, none of the opponent's thoughts could escape his sharp eyes.
Just like the instant perception skill that Wang Shangmeng taught Gu Ya, this War God had elevated it to a divine level.
It was too terrifying. Imagine, if both sides were competing in a boxing ring, and the opponent could accurately predict your next punch as if they had a cheat code, how could such a person be defeated?
This must be what they meant by "one has become a spirit."
Gu Ya controlled Yueying, slowly turned its body, and said softly, "I thought your fighting style would be grand, open, upright, exceptionally skilled, and possess an indomitable spirit. Honestly, I am surprised, and I have many questions."
"Look at the essence beyond the phenomenon, young man," the War God said calmly. "Over forty years of combat experience have taught me that true mecha combat is not about relying on sheer passion and defeating enemies with flashy ultimate moves. Using the simplest, most direct, most lethal, and most adaptable moves to adapt to any combat scenario and kill the enemy quickly is the true essence."
"Today, I will make an exception and teach you another lesson."
As soon as the War God finished speaking, his battered mecha soared into the air and flew in front of Yueying.
"Stab me with your sword," the War God said calmly.
