The seven mechs on the left immediately tightened their formation, each assuming a defensive stance.
Youyin transformed into several blue light beams, painting a dazzling yet deadly blue killing field across the sky.
Three seconds later, something bizarre happened. The seven mechs, huddled in defense, did not explode or get destroyed. More incredibly, they showed not a single scratch.
Gu Ya was shocked!
"Wh-what's going on? My attack had no effect?" Gu Ya stared at them in disbelief.
At this moment, eight mechs from the right flew over and joined the seven. They spread out, surrounding Youyin from all sides, forming an impenetrable defensive encirclement.
"It's been a long time since I encountered someone with the bearing of a War God. Which city's War God are you? What is your name and epithet?" the man said calmly.
Gu Ya was still immersed in profound self-doubt. How was this possible? Why no damage at all!?
The man continued, "Fine, since you won't speak, we'll introduce ourselves."
Suddenly, one mech spread its limbs, and a man with an excited, sonorous voice shouted, "Wei Guan, formerly of the Fourth Army of the Xian Xia Zhi Ding War Zone. Epithet: Gu Mo Si!"
Following him, another mech drew twin beam swords, and a man with a weak voice said, "Lu Dong, formerly affiliated with Huang Ji Zhi Ge, the eighth person with the epithet 'Tong Jiu'."
The third mech pulled a short staff from its back. The ends of the staff suddenly extended, lengthening into a staff. A man with a calm voice said, "Wu Hai, formerly a member of Special Operations Team Green Mantis, Squad Eight. Sole Epithet: Feng Cao Gong."
The fourth mech drew two short staffs. The tips of both staffs suddenly ejected beam gun barrels. A man with a sharp voice said, "Yu Nan, also from Green Mantis Squad Eight, Epithet: Ye Xue Feng, the tenth person."
The fifth mech drew an immensely broad beam saber, its edge a terrifying serration. A man with a gruff voice said, "Xi Can! Seventh Army of Yong Gu Zhi Lan, I am the founder of the epithet 'Lie Sun'!"
Gu Ya suddenly remembered Ye Ying's comrade, Lan Jing, whose epithet was "Lie Sun San."
The sixth mech, fists colliding, produced a resounding "Bang! Bang!" A woman with a hearty voice shouted, "Qiu Ao Lei! Hahaha! Formerly served in the Seventh Army of the Xian Zhi Bei Sai War Zone, Epithet: Ying Lei Jiu! Hahahaha!"
One by one, the pilots of the mechs announced their names and epithets, all of them chillingly formidable.
Gu Ya's heart trembled.
Yet now, they stood on the side of betrayal against Xian Xia!
Finally, the man who had been communicating with Gu Ya spoke slowly, "My name is Wan Kai, formerly a member of Special Operations Team Huang Long, Squad One. Epithet: Zuo Ting Shan."
"When I was grievously wounded and near death, I was saved by Liang Yu Wei, and thus clung to life."
The man paused, then shouted,
"We all possess the strength of a thousand warriors!"
"We gave everything for Xian Xia!"
"But Xian Xia was corrupt, it did not grant us hero's treatment, but instead buried us."
"To survive, we could only rely on ourselves."
Gu Ya trembled slightly. No wonder they could neutralize his attacks. Regardless of mech performance or individual skill, they were all renowned figures.
But what now?
Fight?
Must fight!!!
Even if it's a death sentence, still must fight!!!
Gu Ya gritted his teeth, suppressing his racing heart and immense fear.
"Anyone who defies the will of Xian Xia is my enemy," Gu Ya forced himself to say calmly. As he spoke, a prickling sensation spread from his scalp to his entire body.
He knew that if he didn't handle this correctly, he would surely die here today!
If it were just one or two people, Gu Ya could have eliminated them with all skills activated.
But now, there were fifteen of them!
Among them were those with War God-level strength.
Especially Wan Kai, who claimed to be from Team Huang Long.
Ye Ying was only a member of Team Lie Quan, Squad Five.
In such special operations teams, the lower the rank, the stronger the team!
Fight?
Cannot be soft-hearted! Cannot be afraid, must fight even if it means death!
Wan Kai said calmly, "Those who have heard our names will not be allowed to live."
Gu Ya's lips quivered, but he forced a calm smile.
He had imagined his death would be in old age, holding Ye Ying's hand, dying in her embrace.
This situation was utterly beyond his wildest expectations.
The enemy had already formed a deadly encirclement.
No matter which direction he tried to escape using [Bao Shan], he would be countered.
"Then, accept your fate," Wan Kai said calmly.
Suddenly, all fifteen mechs presented their weapons, their auras intensifying slightly, adopting a charging posture.
Youyin was at the center of the killing formation; obstacles existed in every direction.
Death?
Was it truly a certain death situation?
How could that be,
I am Gu Ya!
Gu Ya felt a chill run through him, yet he firmly gripped the control stick, sitting unmoving in the pilot seat, as steady as a mountain.
"Hahahaha..." Gu Ya suddenly laughed, his laughter suppressing the fear in his heart.
"Hahahaha!!!"
Gu Ya's laughter grew louder, becoming utterly unrestrained.
"Ridiculous! Ridiculous—!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "
Gu Ya contorted his face into a terrifying grin, roaring with all his might:
"A bunch of people blinded by themselves, who have abandoned themselves!!!"
"A bunch of people who have betrayed the will of Xian Xia, and forgotten why they once fought on the battlefield!!!"
"What right do you have to stand above Xian Xia!!!!"
"You are merely walking dead!"
"The will to live in the face of death is Xian Xia's will."
"Alas, you are unworthy of possessing it."
"Meeting me is your misfortune..."
The pilots of the fifteen mechs were all amused by Gu Ya's words. They erupted into loud, unrestrained laughter, like fifteen rotten corpses!
"This guy is seriously brainwashed by Xian Xia, hahahaha!"
"I'm thrilled to kill Xian Xia's War God!"
"Be devoured by us, bow down to us! Then, accept your death!!!"
Wan Kai roared:
"Kill!!!"
The fifteen mechs immediately unleashed a torrent of multicolored, fierce auras, their weapons lunging towards Youyin, accelerating at full speed!
Gu Ya closed his eyes, shouting in his heart:
[Xin Fa Sui] skill activated!!!
"All skills activated!!!"
Gu Ya's eyes snapped open, and the night before him suddenly transformed into an eternal daylight white.
Fifteen red dots immediately appeared around Gu Ya!
[Static Killing Formation: Windless Realm—Autumn Muster on the Battlefield]
"System Level One Alert! Mech Destruction Alert!! Mech performance cannot withstand this mech's actions! Execution prohibited! Execution prohibited!!" The system alarm suddenly sounded!
Gu Ya's gaze was calm, his heart as firm as rock. He unhesitatingly pressed the "Confirm Execution" button.
Immediately, his entire body retracted.
The fifteen mechs charged towards Youyin from fifteen blind spots.
Just as their weapons were about to pierce Youyin,
Youyin vanished without reason!!
Soon, an incomparably violent, unshakeable strong wind gusted from where Youyin had disappeared.
But in the next second, the strong wind vanished instantly, as if it had never existed.
Before the fifteen pilots could even register surprise,
Youyin had reappeared outside the deadly formation.
With a "Boom!" Youyin's limbs suddenly exploded, followed by its back thrusters erupting in a dazzling blue fireball!
Gu Ya, inside the cockpit, endured the immense tremors.
Then, the cockpit walls began to smoke!
The raging flames quickly ignited everything!
Amidst the tremors and burning flesh,
Gu Ya steadily stood up from his pilot seat!
His gaze sharp as a blade, he instantly summoned his exoskeleton armor, kicked open the burning cockpit door, and flew out.
In the sky, the fifteen mechs discovered the exploded and destroyed Youyin, turning their bodies to watch it transform into several massive fireballs and plunge towards the ground.
Immediately, they spotted Gu Ya, clad in exoskeleton armor, flying in the air.
Wan Kai said calmly, "It truly surprises me, how did you escape in an instant?"
Another man said, "Are you Xian Xia's runaway War God, hahahaha!"
A man said scornfully, "Hmph, too bad your mech is wrecked. Where is that arrogant attitude from earlier? Calling us walking dead? Hahahaha! I think you're the joke!"
The female pilot said, "Do not advise others to be kind without experiencing their hardship."
Just then, /
Gu Ya suddenly raised his right fist, extending his index finger, forming the gesture for "one."
He shouted, "One!!!"
