Chapter 213

The Red-Grade Mecha was in the form of an Azure Eagle beast, its pilot named Ling Hefan, a Titled Douluo; upon first seeing the Tearing Heaven Claw rising from within the Soul Guidance Train block his attack, he was shocked.

Could there be a mighty expert on this Soul Guidance Train?

But the next moment, seeing that the one who came out to block him was a Two-Word Battle Armor Master, his expression gradually became strange.

Ling Hefan narrowed his eyes, carefully sizing up Huo Yuhao suspended in midair through the mecha's holographic screen. That Two-Word Battle Armor flashed with restrained light under the sunlight, six soul rings slowly rotating beneath his feet, five black and one red!

With such a cultivation, yet possessing such a terrifying soul ring configuration... a bluff? They're fake soul rings, right?

"Heh..." Ling Hefan's taut nerves relaxed by half, "To actually let a Two-Word Battle Armor Master bluff like this, looks like that unknown expert who just blocked our attack isn't doing well either, we tensed up for nothing."

Thinking this, Ling Hefan controlled the Red-Grade Mecha to raise both arms, two soul guidance cannon turrets beginning to charge, dazzling red light condensing at the muzzles.

"No matter what trick you used, since you stand in my way, then go regret it."

Ling Hefan's voice spread across the battlefield through the mecha's loudspeaker.

Huo Yuhao merely floated calmly in midair, palm slightly raised, a layer of Star Curtain quietly emerging before him, blocking all Soul Guidance Rays outside.

Before Ling Hefan could react, the next moment, Huo Yuhao's figure had already arrived behind the Red-Grade Mecha, another claw strike that tore heaven and earth slashing down fiercely, crashing into the Red-Grade Mecha's protective barrier.

The mecha's protective barrier energy plummeted; only then did Ling Hefan understand, the person before him was the "mighty expert" who had just acted to protect the Soul Guidance Train.

"This... a Soul Emperor?"

Ling Hefan felt disbelief in his heart, but the facts lay before him, he had to accept this absurd reality — a mere six-ring Soul Emperor, yet able to clash head-on with a Red-Grade Mecha!

What kind of freak is this?!

Regardless of what he thought in his heart, seeing that Huo Yuhao truly had the strength to fight him, Ling Hefan no longer dared to be careless, exerting the mecha's capabilities to the fullest, tangling with Huo Yuhao.

His mecha was Azure Eagle-shaped, its greatest forte being speed; once caught in a tangle, even a Rank 98 Super Douluo might not be able to take him down in a short time.

It could be said that even among Red-Grade Mecha Masters, he was among the best.

So many dangerous operations in the organization were assigned to him to execute; after all, if he couldn't win he could still run.

Only as the battle grew increasingly fierce, Ling Hefan's mood grew increasingly heavy, his face revealing shock.

Huo Yuhao displayed astonishing spatial control ability before him, relying on uninterrupted spatial transfers, actually matching him in speed.

Cold sweat gradually seeped on Ling Hefan's forehead; the Azure Eagle mecha's wings had now unfolded, twelve micro-thrusters erupting simultaneously, drawing streaks of afterimages in the air.

However no matter how he changed direction and accelerated, Huo Yuhao could always appear by his side like a shadow; every spatial leap was precise to a hair-raising degree, those cold blue eyes seemingly having predicted his every move long ago.

"Damn it! Just what is this kid's background?!"

Ling Hefan's gaze flickered, no longer competing with Huo Yuhao in speed, fully opening the Soul Guidance Shield, preparing to clash head-on with Huo Yuhao.

He refused to believe it; a Two-Word Battle Armor Master's soul power could exceed his? That powerful a soul skill just now, how many more times could the opponent use it?

While Huo Yuhao and the Red-Grade Mecha were fiercely battling. On the other side, Gu Yue Na transformed into an elemental turret, continuously firing various rays of light.

Her blue flame fireballs had the greatest power, wind blades the fastest speed, giant ice cones the strongest penetration. These attacks took turns stepping up, precisely intercepting incoming Soul Tool Shells, protecting the delegation members with ease to spare. She even had surplus focus to watch Huo Yuhao and the Red-Grade Mecha's battle.

Seeing the Red-Grade Mecha fully deploy its energy protective barrier, looking like it intended to take it head-on, she slightly raised an eyebrow.

The Red-Grade Mecha is comparable to Three-Word Battle Armor, and because it is equipped with various Soul Guide weapons, its defense is obviously a notch stronger than Battle Armor.

However for Yuhao, methods to quickly break through the Red-Grade Mecha's defense are not few; it just depends on which one he intends to use.

Reveal Spiritual Domain Realm spiritual power, or some other capability?

Thinking this, Gu Yue Na saw golden flames rise from Huo Yuhao's palm.

Huo Yuhao gazed at the Red-Grade Mecha, Red Gold Xuan Yan leaping in his palm, the surrounding air twisting and deforming from the extreme high temperature. Golden Dragon King Soul Bone Skill — Red Gold Xuan Yan!

Ling Hefan's mecha alarm system shrieked frantically: "Warning! Unknown high-energy reaction detected. Warning..."

That cluster of red-gold flame in Huo Yuhao's palm suddenly swelled, turning into a sea of fire spreading through the surrounding space.

Where the flames passed, space presented a bizarre twisted state, as if even rules themselves were being rewritten; falling on the mecha's protective barrier, the barrier's energy rapidly returned to origin, turning into pure heaven and earth energy, and in a blink a large hole was burned through.

"Alarm! Protective barrier overloaded! Energy core unstable!" The mecha's electronic voice now carried harsh static.

Ling Hefan's eyes nearly split, frantically controlling the mecha trying to dodge.

But Huo Yuhao had long guarded against this; the Star Curtain turned into a cage, enveloping the Red-Grade Mecha within. That line of fire then seemed alive, drawing a graceful arc in the air, precisely striking the mecha's chest energy core.

There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a hair-raising sound of dissolution. A protective barrier that even a Super Douluo would need some time to breach was pierced like thin paper before this red-gold flame. The mecha's chest armor decomposed at visible speed, turning into pure metal elements, utterly unable to resist.

"This is impossible!"

Ling Hefan felt disbelief in his heart, still wanting to resist, but seeing the sea of fire surrounding him from all sides, he could only press the emergency ejection button. The entire Red-Grade Mecha then, wrapped in the red-gold flames, disappeared bit by bit.

Had Huo Yuhao not held back after he ejected from the mecha, with Red Gold Xuan Yan's tyranny, the entire mecha would have returned to heaven and earth.

After all, Red Gold Xuan Yan's ability is to make all things return to origin; although driven by Huo Yuhao's current strength it cannot exert its full power at its peak, for a Red-Grade Mecha it is still difficult to resist.

Seeing that after he ejected from the mecha, Huo Yuhao's gaze shifted from the mecha to his own body, Ling Hefan instantly felt chills all over, directly unleashing his Soul True Body — a pitch-black Night Owl, nine standard-configuration soul rings encircling his surroundings.

But his purpose in doing so was not to continue fighting, to avenge his Red-Grade Mecha.

It was to escape!

Ling Hefan's wings vibrated frantically, his seventh soul ring blazing with black light; the Night Owl True Body instantly turned into a blurry black shadow shooting toward the horizon. At this moment his heart held only one thought — the farther from this monster the better!

As for the mission the organization assigned them, it had already been completely thrown to the back of his mind.

The Star Luo Delegation members on the train, seeing this, recovered from the shock of Huo Yuhao defeating the Red-Grade Mecha Master. They had thought Huo Yuhao would pursue on the momentum of victory, but saw he had already landed on the ground, walking toward the Soul Guidance Train.

Similar to Dark Phoenix Douluo's thoughts, Huo Yuhao also temporarily had no intention of deeply involving himself in Star Luo's internal contradictions. Quickly shattering the Red-Grade Mecha was one, to deter, lest the upcoming journey face attacks again; another was to avoid falling into a war of attrition.

After all, aside from spiritual power, in other aspects, especially soul power, the gap between him and a Super Douluo is not just a little bit.

Falling into a war of attrition is unfavorable to him; facing an opponent of this level, taking out powerful means for a quick decisive battle is the best choice.

Pan Wen looked at the battlefield outside gradually calming because Ling Hefan fled, his gaze turning to Sima Lanxiao, face icy, "This is quite a grand welcome ceremony!"

Dozens of mecha, among them even a Red-Grade Mecha; this is no small number.

Cold sweat streamed down Sima Lanxiao's forehead, his heart incessantly cursing the attackers' eighteen generations of ancestors.

Although some Federal Delegation members went to other places, this train still carries more than half of the Federal Delegation members.

If this isn't handled well, it'll be a serious diplomatic issue!

"The Star Luo Federation will definitely give you all an explanation!"

Sima Lanxiao rapidly made a promise and sent the news back to Star Luo City.

Why these Resistance Army troops ambushed the train, and where they got their intelligence from, must all be investigated clearly!
