Chapter 415: Encounter
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Right when everyone anticipated the next massacre to happen, when people were expecting that mysterious boy from Guan family to jump into action again, Ye Chong was already prepared to leave the place.
Guan family had once again risen. They might have sunken for ages, however they were still a family from the ancient. They had the potential from the very beginning, They only lacked a little spark to light up the fire.
Ye Chong strongly believed that Guan family was practically unshakable now, not even Shi family could touch them. And possibly the family would grow stronger, pulling distance with other families over the time. Guan family had not only an army of fighting alchemist, but also a skillful alchemy researcher like Guan Yan. Ye Chong had given the sparks they needed, Ye Chong had unlocked a new gate for their future, well it might be just a small gap at the moment, but they were growing fast.
They remained fearless even if there were challengers at the doorstep now. Ye Chong reckoned Guan family would continue the hand speed training after the success this time. Guan Jin the talented would surely be a great force for the family in future.
But well, it was time to leave. To be honest, Ye Chong had no idea why he must leave but the feeling was strong in him.
He took one last glance at Guan's residence below. ”Phew...” At least he had another job done. He gave a few taps and the Moon King left the ridge silently like a phantom.
In the midst of night silence, a few red spots were displayed on the projection.
Something was there!
Ye Chong turned on the detection system immediately.
Zoom in!
Those were 7 mechs, heading towards him in a standard formation!
Ye Chong could identify the leading mech, while the rest... he had never seen the 6 models before. But he knew those mechs belonged to Xi Feng tribe.
The leading mech was Phoenix Lord. Ye Chong had smashed one before, though a close fight it was. And the experience of that battle had left deep impression in him. Based on a typical Xi Feng lineup, the other 6 mechs should be a rank lower than the Phoenix Lord.
The Phoenix Lord mech had a rather stunning appearance thanks to its giant pair of green wings. The other mechs also had similarly plated the outer layer with dark green, thus the invisibility at night.
Ye Chong could hear his head buzzing...
He had just encountered 7 mechs. If he was able to pick his opponent, he would choose Xi Feng tribe during an one-on-one without hesitation. However, Xi Feng tribe would be the worst opponent choice in a group fight, since it had been widely known that the Xi Feng tribe had the most impeccably cooperative trained army among the 3 aristocrats. They were feeble as singled out, but they were almost indestructible in a group.
Well, since Ye Chong was the protagonist of this novel, in order to survive, he had no other choice but to run.
Unfortunately, it was too late for him to make an escape as the 7 mechs had charged towards Moon King in a perfect curve formation.
A handful of beams had formed into a giant web netting Moon King.
Ye Chong swung his handle to dodge. To fight against Xi Feng tribe's mechs, you got to make the move first, anything later would be solely regarded as too late.
The Moon King's course remained unpredictable while doing most beams fired by the foes. Moon King managed to block the two beams with its shield, but it felt like a close shave to Ye Chong since he always found difficulty with ranged attacks. Assuming the foe had a godly sniper like Mu, it probably would only take a trigger to finish him off.
Ye Chong did not stop his fingers. A small break would have costed his life. Non-orderly Wavy Leap, the first fancy move he had mastered, came into his aid again. Certainly the technique had matured tremendously as the curves had a wider tangent, the velocity was unforeseeably faster.
The dark Moon King moved like a phantom, as shrouded by the night, dodging the beams.
The 7 mechs maintained their flawless formation as they zoomed behind.
Ye Chong could not find the right timing to attack.
There was a prairie not too far away from Line Shaft City.
Feng Su took a look at the sky.
Those are... those are my people!
She shouted in her mind.
They must be here for me!
She thought as she looked at the barbarians, who seemed to have noticed her disdainful stare, that she immediately withdrew her stare out of fear.
Tackan and these barbarians... Feng Su cursed.
She had been spending the days like a caged canary, as she was being watched the whole time. There was not a moment where she could deploy her mech and run. Not only that, she was forced to conduct all kinds of training and engage in all sorts of battles. They were real barbarians for they never thought of showing mercy towards a girl like her.
I think my Jie expert training would've been easier than this.
If this isn't hell...
She would receive the stare of untamed wrath whenever she lifted her steps beyond the boundary, that she believed she would be immediately slaughtered if she ever ran.
