Chapter 321: Chapter 321: Firefight 2

Long Ming lay on the ground, covered by a gray cloth, his eyes constantly zooming in as he watched the two sides battle from afar.

He didn’t dare get too close, as there were many unmanned and mechanical spider surveillance units along the way.

From this, it was clear that both guilds were being very cautious.

At the edge of the combat zone, two members of the Dawn Guild were seen bravely charging toward Lu Ang.

"You’re asking for it!"

Lu Ang swept the giant axe in his hands horizontally.

CRACK!

The two charging Dawn Guild players were instantly cleaved in half at the waist, blood splattering everywhere.

BEEP! BEEP!

A rapid beeping sound came from the corpses of the two Dawn Guild players.

Lu Ang’s expression changed drastically, but it was too late.

BOOM—

A massive explosion swept out, sending him flying.

Just then, a player from the Twilight Guild took a mechanical box out of his backpack and opened it.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

Swarms of suicidal mechanical insects flew out.

The player raised a controller embedded in his right hand and remotely guided the suicidal mechanical insects toward the Dawn Guild players.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

AAAH—

Player after player was blown to bits.

Seeing this, a Dawn Guild player quickly leaped across the rooftops of nearby buildings to find a suitable position.

He raised his sniper rifle, locked onto the Twilight Guild player controlling the mechanical insects, and pulled the trigger.

BANG!

The controlling player was instantly headshot.

"Damn, that’s brutal," Long Ming remarked, a little amazed.

’Good thing I didn’t get involved. If I got swarmed, I’d probably be a goner.’

But the top experts on both sides had yet to make a move. Kaber and Ask were still just watching each other.

Long Ming continued to wait patiently.

’Those ten people piloting the V3 Mechanical Gods are the biggest threat. If they don’t start fighting, I won’t have a chance.’

At this point, Ask was starting to lose his patience. His side was beginning to fall into a disadvantage, so he decisively said to Jia Ting and the others,

"Move out!"

"Yes!" Jia Ting and the others immediately responded.

Piloting the Gale, a Mechanical God standing over three meters tall, Ask leaped into the sky with Jia Ting. The mech was covered in cyan metal armor, with a triangular halo in its chest and a cyan cannon on its right shoulder. Vector-assist wings were fitted to its waist, and flexible mechanical thrusters protruded from its back. He wielded a Light Beam Rifle and carried a Metal Blade at his hip.

"Hmph. Finally couldn’t hold back, huh?"

Kaber immediately led Hai Ying and the others into the air.

Mude the streamer instantly focused his camera on them, his voice filled with excitement.

"The moment we’ve all been waiting for is here! Kaber and Ask are finally making their move!"

"Who do you guys think will win?"

"Isn’t it obvious? Kaber has the best odds. He’s a famous expert who’s been around for ages."

"Haven’t you heard the saying? The newcomer surpasses the old-timer!"

"Yeah, well I’ve heard ’experience trumps youth’!"

...

Countless comments flooded the live stream’s screen.

In the sky, the ten Mechanical Gods spread out, with pilots from both sides choosing their opponents.

Long Ming watched this unfold, his gaze locked on the leaders, Kaber and Ask.

Kaber was seen raising his Blast Gun and locking onto Ask.

Not to be outdone, Ask gripped his Light Beam Rifle and aimed it at Kaber.

BANG! BANG—

The two continuously fired at and dodged each other.

A dense barrage of attacks struck buildings in the distance, setting off a series of violent explosions.

Long Ming watched their fight closely. Both of them had excellent combat skills.

However, Kaber’s Frenzy was more of a heavy-type model, while Ask’s Gale was built for agility. Since Ask was also using a high-powered Light Beam Rifle, he had a slight advantage.

Soon, Kaber was hit by a beam.

BOOM—

The Frenzy’s frame shuddered violently.

Kaber decisively activated the missile launcher on his right shoulder.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH—

A volley of small tracking missiles shot rapidly toward Ask.

Ask didn’t dodge right away. Instead, he waited until the missiles were about to close in before suddenly accelerating and climbing, dodging them in an instant.

However, the tracking missiles curved like vipers and came at Ask again.

Ask frowned and dodged again.

BOOM!

Unfortunately, he was still hit by one of the projectiles.

A violent explosion swept over him.

But the next second, Ask piloted the Gale out of the explosion and fired a shot at Kaber.

BOOM—

The Frenzy was struck by the blast!

"Hmph! You’re courting death!"

Kaber decisively switched tactics, drawing his Metal Blade and charging forward.

Seeing this, Ask also put away his Light Beam Rifle and drew his own equipped Metal Blade to meet the charge.

The two clashed and zipped past each other repeatedly in the air.

The battle grew increasingly fierce!

Seeing that neither of them could gain a decisive victory for the time being, Long Ming turned his attention to the other experts.

Just then, he saw Hai Ying piloting the Graylight, a Standard Mechanical God. Standing three meters tall, its surface was covered in blue metal armor, with a triangular halo in its chest and a blue cannon on its right shoulder. A pair of mechanical thruster wings were embedded in its back. Wielding a very cool-looking beam sniper rifle, she created some distance, locked onto Jia Ting, and pulled the trigger.

VWOOSH!

A blue beam of light shot out.

Jia Ting, piloting the Standard Mechanical God known as the Destroyer, saw that he couldn’t dodge and decisively activated a honeycomb-patterned Energy Barrier.

BOOM—

As a massive explosion erupted, the Energy Barrier shattered.

"Damn it!"

Furious, Jia Ting accelerated and charged, trying to engage Hai Ying in close-quarters combat.

Unfortunately, Hai Ying gave him no such chance.

She immediately turned and flew away, simultaneously switching her weapon to a Metal Blade.

Jia Ting piloted the Destroyer in hot pursuit, gradually closing the distance.

Just then, Hai Ying suddenly turned without warning, took out a black metal sphere, and threw it at the pursuing Jia Ting.

"An EMP grenade!"

Jia Ting’s face fell, and he immediately tried to dodge.

But it was too late.

The black metal sphere burst, unleashing an explosion of black electrical arcs.

BZZZT—

Red warnings instantly popped up all over Jia Ting’s Mechanical God control interface.

"Warning: Strong electromagnetic interference detected!"

"Warning: DFV circuit error!"

...

For a moment, the Destroyer’s controls became laggy and erratic.

Seizing the opportunity, Hai Ying lowered her cannon and fired a blast at Jia Ting.

BOOM—

The Destroyer was hit, and a massive explosion engulfed it.

Hai Ying then charged in, raised the Metal Blade in her hand, and delivered a vicious slash.

CRACK!

The Destroyer’s neck was severed clean through.

Seeing this, Mude the streamer shouted with immense excitement,

"Everyone, look! Miss Hai Ying of the Twilight Guild has successfully slain Mr. Jia Ting of the Dawn Guild!"

「In the arena.」

Numerous gamblers who supported the Twilight Guild roared with excitement.

"Nice one!"

"First blood!"

...

「On VIP Platform No. 18.」

When Cleene saw Jia Ting get killed, her expression turned cold, a trace of annoyance in her beautiful eyes.

Her subordinates standing by her side also looked grim. Jia Ting had actually been killed.

The situation was already bad, and now it was even worse.

「Meanwhile, on VIP Platform No. 1.」

Vice-President Sedek, however, burst out laughing.

"Haha, what a beautiful play!"
