291 Berserk?
The people were all surprised, Shi Lang rushed straight to the person diagonally on his left, he ignored the other three, even the contestants were surprised by this behavior. They have seen the videos of the matches from the Terran battles. They interrupted his speed to his rashness and tagged Shi Lang as a brawler.
The neural link was initiated and everything that was happening outside was visible to Shi Lang as if he was the mecha itself. The reason he utilized the neural link was that he wanted to use the sword with complete fluency. If he wasted any moment due to his control lag, it will be a tragedy for himself.
Arianta commented, “Why does it seem like Ace is going berserk?”
The commentators did not dare to say anything rashly and they said, “The battle has just begun, it could be a strategy.”
The five contenders were rushing to the center, and they all wished to close the distance before fighting. However, the predator mecha was faster and it was equipped with phaser guns. This guy flicked his tail and it split into several tails, revealing flowers on the tip. Suddenly, these flowers glow and they began to fire off phaser beams at everyone.
The other mechas dodged, but Shi Lang kept moving forward, he was not going to stop, this scarce shower was too easy for him to dodge, whether he controlled the mecha or himself. The chaos did not allow anyone to notice his abnormality. Shi Lang had avoided a lot of beams and a few grazed his mecha’s body.
The young man, suddenly turned on his feet, shifting his weight and his target changed from the humanoid to the predator. The Terran mecha was also equipped with a phaser gun, it was hidden inside the mecha tight and was a one-and-a-half meter long handgun. Shi Lang did not waste time. He took out the handgun, and directly aimed at the flower tips.
The phasor beams collided, and the two parties decide to deal with each other and neglect the other two. The other three did not wish to give up this brilliant opportunity and they charged toward the two. The people in the observation stand were inching closer to the edges of their seats. They were very interested to see if the two berserks will fight each other, and die from the siege or will they turn the tables.
Yes, this was not a surprising thing to think collectively. How come the ones, who could afford to come and work at the galactic council could not know what was going on here? As soon as the enemy reached a ten-meter zone, Shi Lang and the predator stopped at the same time.
Shi Lang turned around on his feet and his sword at the guy from earlier, this change was too fast. However, the opposite party was not shallow and lashed back with a sword of his own. Two weapons collided and they let out sparks.
CLANG!
The impact was strong, and the blades let out a shrill hum, but it did not stop the two people from attacking each other again. The speed and ferocity of the attacks were something the crowd has never seen before.
…
Jack asked, “Anything special about this guy?”
Lucas said, “Hmm, he projected a shred of killing intent towards Ace, earlier. He picked up the wrong time.”
The rest of the people nodded and began to look at the battle again. They were sure, that this person will die regardless. Jane asked, “What is the name of these people again?”
Lucas sighed and said, “They are the Sapiens. They are extremely close to terrans in terms of appearance and governing system. Maybe that is why they are trying to pull us back.”
Suddenly, Jack’s communicator went off, he accepted a connection request and Matthew on the other side said, “Cheif, this place is not where that guy came to visit, but this is his own shop. That guy is a Sapien and we have him under control.”
Jack raised his eyebrow and asked, “What else did you find?”
Matthew replied, “They have done this a few times in the past. They run a betting racket. We have the proof.”
Jack thought for a minute and then said, “Clear the traces and move out. Regroup at the arena.”
Then he stood up, walked to Lucas, and whispered something to him. The man on the monitoring station was surprised slightly but then he relayed the message to Shi Lang. The young general heard these words, and it was as if alcohol has been poured into the fire. He erupted and held his sword with two hands, and attacked.
This time, he did not shake off, and his blade kept coming and coming at the Sapien as if this guy was his only enemy in the world for lives. The other three contestants indulged in their own three-way fight.
Suddenly, Shi Lang saw the enemy step in to deal him a deathly blow, however, Shi Lang ducked and rolled to the side of the enemy, but the crowd noticed a faint light flicker as he stood up. The next moment, the Sapien mecha exploded. Shi Lang had quick eyes and saw that a figure had jumped off from the back of the mecha. It was an escape hatch.
However, Will Shi Lang let this guy get away? He took out his phaser gun and shot the mecha into a sieve, also vaporizing the pilot with a random shot. Then he turned around to look at the observation deck of the Sapien team and raised his sword aiming at the man who stood at the edge with a livid expression on his face.
Arianta became excited, this was a scoop, she said, “Did you guys see what I saw? Ace of the Terran team went ahead and challenged the Sapien team directly. This is getting interesting.”
Shi Lang then turned around and joined the three-way fight. The three people were alert about the moment on the field, they were reminded by the monitoring stations about Shi Lang’s approach, and the enemies united. They began to fight Shi Lang, three to one. However, was it that easy to deal with the Terran Cultivator?
Shi Lang moved his sword around like it was an extension of his arm and his speed was anything but slow or easy, his mecha moved along with his sword to dodge or parry the attacks from the enemies. While his right hand was dealing with the enemy swords, his left hand was busy using the handgun and negating the phaser beams shot at him by the predator Mecha.
Suddenly, Shi Lang turned around, and his sword was facing the predator mecha while his handgun was firing at the two enemies. This switch was unpredictable and the phaser beams were accurately shot through the heads of the two mechas.
None of the people expected this, but Shi Lang did not kill the people of the mecha, he simply targeted the visual modules of the mecha and was done with it all. He did not stop and with a quick thrust of his feet, he closed the distance with the predator mecha.
Lucas had told him that the Predator mecha was good at sideways movement, but not at moving backward. Shi Lang used this fact to his use, and while the enemy fired phaser beams at him and he countered them with phaser beams of his own, his right hand threw the Sword directly at the space where the predator could move to.
Speculative attack and this move caught the enemy by surprise, the reaction was fast, but not enough to evade the attack completely, and one of its limbs was severed. This was significant damage and the mecha fell down to the ground, it could not move.
Shi Lang pointed at it with the sword, he wanted this pilot to admit defeat. It has been eight minutes since the battle has begun, and four enemies were out. The rest of the time was going to be used by Shi Lang as rest time.
…
Jane sighed and said, “He is going after the Sapiens. Ryan, you better not drag him down, or he might kick you away, you know that right/”
Ryan replied, “I know den mother. Chill, I have it under control.”
Jane felt a twitch at the corner of her eye and said, “See, how I deal with you later.”
…
The people were still in a daze, this was the fastest mech battle they have ever witnessed, and the skills displayed by Shi Lang were on point. He was simply amazing, none of his moves were flashy but they were all practical and his execution was perfect.
The video of his battle was now going viral and the most highlighted part was the attack and provocation aimed at the Sapien leader. This was something the people did not understand. However, Shashi was at the moment sitting in a corridor, waiting to have an audience with the higher-ups.
Jack has called him and told him that Shi Lang might lose it and massacre the whole Sapien team if he did not stop the battle by the time three rounds were done for.
