"Get out of the way!" Qiao Weiwei roared!
Wuji Ban Zhi Hong yanked the two heavy defense mechs in front of her, charging directly into the enemy formation. Tens of thousands of armor plates on its body sprang open, and countless projectiles shot out, trailing white smoke.
In the air, the blazing Wuji Ban Zhi Hong was like a sun descending upon the earth, dazzling and bright.
Within the red heat, thousands of missiles were simultaneously fired at the enemy mechs.
Heixing's heavy defense mechs deployed energy shields, positioning themselves at the forefront. The streaking missiles continuously bombarded the defense shields, tearing a large gap in the defensive formation.
"Gu Ya!" Qiao Weiwei shouted angrily.
Kuju charged forward, drilling into the enemy formation through the rift in their defensive line.
Countless dark brown beam rounds erupted from Kuju's body, attacking every enemy mech indiscriminately.
During its charge, the giant sniper rifle continuously fired, hitting its targets.
After a burst of firing, the bulging magazine housing on Kuju's back popped open with a "bang," and countless missiles shot out, rushing towards the enemy mechs.
Following a volley of missile rain, continuous explosions lit up the surroundings. Immense shockwaves surged from all directions, and earth-shattering explosions tore at the eardrums.
Before the enemy mechs could even react, Kuju, enveloped in a semi-transparent energy shield, flew towards the farther enemy formation.
The energy shield seemed like an invisible spatial rift. Every time it touched an enemy mech, the mech's body would appear to split diagonally with a straight offset, as if a photograph had been neatly cut and then reassembled, but with a few centimeters of deviation.
The cleaved enemy mechs did not explode but lost all power and began to descend to the ground.
The energy shield consumed a significant amount of energy. Kuju's quasi-body energy battery was now below fifteen percent. Continuing the fight might lead to a crash.
Gu Ya decisively retracted Kuju and re-summoned Youyin.
The "Azure Electric Wind Grand Array of Annihilation" was unleashed in the air, instantly destroying dozens of enemy mechs.
The enemy's heavy defense mechs swarmed forward, charging from all directions in a complete encirclement, intending to kill Youyin within the energy shield.
Trapped in a desperate situation, Youyin suddenly vanished from its position without warning, only to reappear outside the cluster of heavy defense mechs.
A gust of wind suddenly swept through the shield formation. As the hurricane dissipated, and with Gu Ya's battle cry, all the defense mechs plummeted as if they had lost their souls.
Another "Azure Electric Wind Grand Array of Annihilation" was employed. Numerous defense mechs were destroyed by Youyin, transformed into lightning, and fell to the ground as thousands of fragments.
After continuously using its ultimate techniques, Youyin's operational capacity also began to decline.
These grand killing moves were indeed very taxing on the mech's performance, but Gu Ya had no choice but to continue. If he stopped, the thousands of enemy mechs surrounding him would tear him to shreds like vultures feasting on carrion.
Gazing at the vast, boundless enemy mech swarm, Gu Ya felt panic and despair for the first time.
He had faced countless desperate situations before and overcome them.
But now, he truly could not think of any way to stop the enemy forces before him.
Before the mech bounty battle against Chang Lang of the Pure White Knights, Old Rod Head had told Gu Ya that the desperate situations faced by true mech warriors were hundreds or thousands of times more difficult than a mere bounty battle.
It was only now that Gu Ya truly understood the meaning of those words.
The massive Wuji Ban Zhi Hong suddenly pressed down from the sky, deploying a high-temperature red heat field to block the enemy mechs. Simultaneously, it activated its entire armor, and countless missiles shot out from its consolidated armor towards the enemy swarm.
The deafening explosions, accompanied by Qiao Weiwei's furious shouts, were heard simultaneously: "Gu Ya, what are you spacing out for! Fight!"
Gu Ya's eyes instantly cleared. He activated his full concentration and "Mind Active" simultaneously. In the system store, he found a suitable quasi-body energy battery for Kuju and installed it into the "Void Package."
When Youyin disappeared, Kuju reappeared on the battlefield.
As Wuji Ban Zhi Hong's second round of thousand-gun volleys concluded, Kuju's missile barrage followed.
Countless projectiles, trailing white smoke, exploded in the air, splitting into a multitude of fine sub-munitions that "pfft-pfft-pfft" rushed towards the enemy formation.
"Ancient Mech!!!" Gu Ya roared.
The ancient mech, dark red and covered in blades, instantly appeared beside Kuju. "Master, you summoned me!"
"Follow me and kill the enemy!"
Kuju lifted its giant sniper rifle and charged forward to meet the enemy's new wave of attacks.
Wielding the giant sniper rifle, it directly destroyed a heavy defense mech and acquired its beam energy shield mount, attaching it to Kuju's left arm.
The beam energy shield instantly deployed.
With one arm holding the shield to protect its chest and the other holding the giant sniper rifle braced on its arm, Kuju fired wildly.
Continuous bursts of semi-transparent brown beams, from the side of the massive ancient mech, shot towards the enemy mechs. Upon hitting its targets, the ancient mech rapidly ascended and stabbed into the hit areas with its fist blades.
At this point, some enemy mechs had already landed and engaged the ground defense forces.
Hundreds of self-propelled artillery units stood behind the shattered remains of buildings lining the streets, firing shells at the enemy mechs.
Ground guerrillas, with anti-mech missiles shouldered, were about to fire when they were hit by enemy beam cannons from the air, dissolving into blood.
As guerrillas died here, guerrillas across the street had already fired their individual anti-mech missiles.
Three surface-to-air weapon vehicles, their massive wheels crushing piles of wreckage, sped towards the enemy mech squadrons on the ground. The missiles on their vehicles were launched rapidly. After hitting enemy mechs, they did not retreat but charged directly into the enemy formation.
An enemy aerial support mech's beam cannon struck one of the off-road vehicles, resulting in a deafening "Boom!!!" and a colossal mushroom cloud rising into the sky. The three off-road vehicles exploded on the spot.
It turned out the off-road vehicles were carrying quasi-body energy bombs, and they had no intention of surviving.
Dozens of suspended armed vehicles flew rapidly from the sky, firing high-energy compressed air cannons at the enemy mechs as they flew.
In an instant, missiles, artillery fire, lasers, and beam weapons of all kinds filled this main pipeline of Xianxia City, with both sides engaging in a mad exchange of fire.
Countless defense ground mechs stumbled and fell after being hit by artillery fire.
Guerrillas were blown into clouds of blood mist.
The tall buildings on both sides of the street were blown beyond recognition, leaving only their internal steel skeletons to support them.
Compared to the carnage here, other parts of Xianxia City were also locked in fierce battles.
Giant heavy artillery tanks were pulled onto the plaza. Their five-meter-thick gun barrels unleashed incredibly thick armor-piercing rounds, whistling towards the enemy mechs.
On the overpasses, motorcycle mech soldiers driving at high speed, armed with portable missile launchers and anti-mech electromagnetic weapon cannons, fired at enemy mechs while moving.
Supersonic unmanned attack aircraft continuously harassed the enemy mech clusters. After unleashing a violent assault, they did not return to replenish ammunition but instead charged directly into the enemy formation to self-destruct.
However, even with the bravery and desperate efforts of the Xianxia defense forces, the number of enemy mechs continued to increase.
They seemed endless.
Despair gradually enveloped every Xianxia defender.
The entire city, every corner, was mired in a bitter struggle.
Kuju, having fought its way out, landed on the ground again with Wuji Ban Zhi Hong and the Ancient Mech. It wasn't that they didn't want to fight, but the enemy was simply too numerous, so much so that even expending all their ammunition yielded no discernible effect.
Above the sky, shrouded in smoke and fog, amidst the white clouds, it seemed as if countless enemy mechs were waiting to burst forth from the clouds and dive down.
Gu Ya felt as if they were not fighting humans but warring against celestial beings.
Countless Xianxia defenders fell. The wreckage of defending mechs continuously plummeted from the sky, and more explosions echoed from all directions.
The once glorious Xianxia City, under the enemy's rampage, was gradually turning into a hellish city filled with war.
Gu Ya recalled Kuju and, after replenishing its ammunition in the system store, summoned Kuju again.
"You wait here for the engineering troops to resupply your ammunition. I will continue to kill the enemy," Gu Ya shouted to Qiao Weiwei.
Qiao Weiwei said with some panicked urgency, "I'll go with you, I'll protect you!"
Just as Gu Ya was about to persuade her to stay, a large number of black, peculiar armored enemy mechs suddenly appeared in the sky. They quickly spotted the stationary Kuju and Wuji Ban Zhi Hong, turned their bodies, and swooped down to kill Gu Ya on the ground.
"It's Heixing's elite combat enemy mech swarm!" Qiao Weiwei cried out in alarm.
Gu Ya had already assumed a ready stance, his fingers operating rapidly.
Kuju's entire armor opened wide! Thousands of beam machine gun barrels all flipped backward, revealing small, rounded laser emitters at their other ends.
With a sharp "Zzzzz—!" sound, thousands of tiny laser beams were fired at the enemy mech swarm.
The thousands of tiny beams, as the emitters changed position, merged together to form thicker lasers.
Regardless of how the enemy mechs changed their positions, the targeting system, a product of future technology, could continuously track their locations.
The laser emitters adjusted their angles rapidly. Thousands of lasers merged into dozens of beams, continuously locking onto and hitting the enemy mechs.
Before the twenty-odd enemy mechs in the air could approach Kuju, they all lost power and plummeted in parabolic trajectories, crashing behind the two heavy mechs.
Some of the more skilled Heixing mech pilots managed to control their mechs, using their speed advantage and high-rise buildings for cover, to escape Kuju's attack range and disappear.
"Gu, Gu Ya, Kuju's power is indeed immense!" Qiao Weiwei said, trembling and still shaken.
"It's not over yet!" Gu Ya shouted coldly.
Just as he was preparing to control Kuju to ascend again, the voice of the General Command Headquarters suddenly came through the communicator: "All defense forces, cease combat operations and resupply ammunition at the nearest location."
Qiao Weiwei shouted in confusion, "What's going on? Why aren't we fighting anymore? The enemy is still here, why aren't we fighting?"
Gu Ya was also very confused.
Immediately after, another order came through the communicator: "All defense forces, concentrate at the direct south of Xianxia City."
