Chapter 95: Confrontation (2/2)
His lance sprang to life, as Blue Winter moved like a venomous serpent, hissing with its forked tongue!
Hak was mildly surprised that Ye Chong could use the lance so well, and greatly admired his ability to adapt to various situations! One should know that using something like the archaic lance required special techniques; in the hands of someone ignorant, it would be no more useful than a metal pole! However, the weapon was already long gone in history, and even in Black Cove, where expert fighters were abound, few used a lance as their mech’s weapon!
Without much time to spare, Kai crossed its arms to shield its vulnerabilities!
”Blocking it, are you?” Ye Chong smiled coldly to himself!
*DING!* Blue Winter’s tip landed squarely on its opponent for the very first time!
His expectation of the lance penetrating the mech entirely was unmet, as Blue Winter only penetrated halfway through one of Kai’s arms! Ye Chong suddenly realised that Hak’s mech must have gone through a special strengthening process! Ye Chong immediately reacted by retreating with his lance, putting a distance between him and Kai!
Hak was completely astonished! He could barely believe that there was still a weapon that could damage his mech like that! His astonishment quickly turned into anger, as Kai had never been damaged in the 20 years of their partnership. He did not expect to receive such humiliation from the little b*stard today!
Hak’s face darkened instantly!
Ye Chong watched Hak’s mech coldly, without any emotions! He knew that he had just lost the perfect opportunity just now, and Hak would not let his mech and Blue Winter come into direct contact again. With his skills, that was entirely possible!
By now, Ye Chong felt icy calm!
Harmony of the Winter Aria suddenly accelerated to its maximum speed, and Ye Chong charged towards Hak with Blue Winter in hand! Based on his experience, if his attack was on target this time, he will be able to fully penetrate Kai! The high speed impact would increase its usual destructive effect by a few magnitudes!
Hak may be furious, but he did not lose his rational mind. He knew that he could not afford to receive the incoming attack. He gauged the direction of the lance and twisted his body, barely escaping the tip of the weapon!
As Ye Chong was about to rush past Hak, Ye Chong gave a cold laugh, and his hands flew across the controls!
The double-folded wings on the back of Harmony of the Winter Aria suddenly expanded!
The sharp edges of the wings cut like blades, and after some strengthening treatment, the wings were as sharp as alloy daggers! Harmony of the Winter Aria’s could go up to Mach 7! The shrieking sound of air rushing past the edges was terrifying! Hak immediately realized the danger it posed!
There was a loud sound of impact! Kai took a few steps backwards, a long gash on its chest, cracks forming around it like spiderwebs!
Ye Chong was also doing no better, the powerful impact breaking the wing upon contact. Even though Ye Chong expected it, he was still tossed to a far corner, and it took him great effort to stabilize himself. The photon processor’s alarm blared in full party mode!
Hak was now feeling terribly unpleasant! He was obviously stronger than Ye Chong, but had instead took damage from his opponent. The attacks were also vicious and cunning, which annoyed Hak very much, as though he had just swallowed a fly! Besides, this was someone whom he was teacher to! His beloved mech of twenty years was not seriously damaged, but how could he not be furious about it?
Hak’s expression grew even darker! His eyes looked as though they could spit fire!
Ye Chong could only smile wrily. He had no other way of fighting, since they were too equally matched! He could only sacrifice a bit of himself to cause greater damage on his opponent! He did not expect Hak to apply his combat skills in mech piloting!
Ye Chong also finally understood that Hak’s application of his combat techniques in mech piloting was still meager compared to others, but when using it against him, it was more than enough!
Ye Chong could not help but began to consider the option of escaping! If he escaped now, what were his odds of success?
From the performance of Hak’s mech, its engines were definitely on par with the Harmony of the Winter Aria’s. If he escaped now, the mech would definitely follow him closely like an annoying fly. Besides, who was to say that they had no other comrades further out? If they had comrades, then the one to falter first would be himself! Him being surrounded and annihilated would be a certainty!
Ye Chong considered the matter, as his eyes unknowingly began to fixate on Kai’s engines!
