Chapter 357: Lone Wolf vs. Ant

"The contestant Cheng Konghai's nickname is 'Ant', implying infinite strength. So, don't let his small stature fool you; he is extremely skilled at explosive power. I've had the fortune of sparring with him before, and his technique is very refined. In fact, he is also quite adept with assassin-type Mecha," Kuangwu Daren said. Huonan looked at Kuangwu in surprise. Where did this guy get his intel? He didn't even know it. Ant???

"Whether it's an ant or an earthworm, they're all small fry. He is facing the Lone Wolf, Romero. The Lone Wolf hasn't even shown his true strength yet!" Huonan said indifferently. "Those street-fighting tricks of yours are useless in the Solar System Tournament."

On the battlefield, the auras of Romero and Cheng Konghai were climbing steadily; both had already entered the Burning Will state. Furthermore, because both of their Golden Zone energies were extremely potent, the weapons in their hands were completely enveloped in red flames, and the surfaces of their Mecha were also glowing red. In the operations room, the members of Langwu also wore grave expressions. Several of the Langwu members were not from Tianqi. Although they had exerted their full strength to deal with a Tianjing Mecha pilot, deep down, they still harbored doubts. Was a mere Tianjing really this terrifying? Especially since Romero was being so cautious against a Cheng Konghai—wasn't this supposed to be a guaranteed win? But as this round progressed, they realized that except for Romero, everyone else would be crushed. Tianjing Mecha had used Puppet and Wuzang to attract attention, but in reality, they had hidden...

... a Cheng Konghai.

Under the Burning Will, the Underworld Fire Fighter was like a Rakshasa ghost from hell.

The Underworld Blade was slowly raised. One of Romero's eyes stared fixedly at the massive Thunder. The Thunder Mecha held a shield in one hand and a hammer in the other, combining offense and defense, resembling a combat fortress. At the same time, it possessed a Burning Will on the exact same level as Romero's. How could he break through that defense? Step, step, step, step, step, step.

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

The Underworld Fire Fighter launched an attack, charging toward the Thunder Guard. At the same time, the Thunder Mecha didn't just defend; its engines roared as it took large strides toward its opponent. They collided in the center of the field in an instant. The Thunder Mecha's Titanium Shield suddenly swung over. The Underworld Fire Fighter dodged, but the Thunder Mecha twisted its body, the entire Mecha stretching out with incomparable fluidity, and brought the hammer down. The next moment, the Underworld Fire Fighter used reverse thrusters to create distance, but that...

... instant was completely seized by the Thunder Mecha. The heavy hammer was just a feint; the giant hammer flew out of his hand—it was a Meteor Hammer again! Moreover, it predicted the Underworld Fire Fighter's forward movement. At the same time, the Mecha's engine roared. If it hit, a fatal blow awaited the Underworld Fire.

However, the advancing Underworld Fire Fighter slammed on the brakes. The Underworld Blade in its hand was rolling with Red Flame. A blade strike descended, cutting directly onto the Titanium Chain. That Titanium Chain had been repeatedly forged and coiled into a chain, making it incomparably sturdy.

The blade struck, but it couldn't cut through at all. With a pull of the chain, the hammer was retrieved. The Thunder Mecha surged forward. The Underworld Fire Fighter swayed and moved rapidly, circling the Thunder Mecha to strike. But as soon as the distance opened up, the Meteor Hammer immediately pursued. The Underworld Fire Fighter ducked, and the Underworld Blade slashed again. Cheng Konghai sneered, flicked his wrist, and pulled. The giant hammer wrapped directly around the Underworld Blade. The Mecha roared, exerted force, and pulled the Underworld Fire Fighter toward its back. At the same time, the massive Thunder...

... Guard Flash Strike!

The Underworld Fire Fighter did not retreat but counterattacked, the Underworld Blade radiating light in all directions. Both sides had opportunities, but the Underworld Fire Fighter still held a massive advantage; as long as the Thunder's strike missed, death awaited....

Inside the cockpit, a smile appeared on the corner of Cheng Konghai's mouth. This was quite satisfying. His eyes shot out red light, and the Red Flame on his body began to churn.

Ant's specialty—Deep Space Intimidation!

Dodging the Thunder's impact, the Underworld Blade swept in a reverse arc like a flying bird, bypassing the Titanium Shield's defense and directly severing the Thunder Mecha's right arm.

In this situation, what else could Heavy Armor do?

The Underworld Fire Fighter, having moved a meter out of thin air, appeared at the side of the Thunder Mecha. The Underworld Blade, burning with the intense Melting Fire, had already pierced into the Thunder Mecha.

Cheng Konghai did not dodge again. He knew that dragging it out would lead to victory, but facing Cheng Konghai's frantic counterattack, there was no escaping. The ability of Flowing Heart Martial Arts combined with the burst of Heavy Armor made it impossible to create distance immediately.

Langwu wins!

Flash Strike.

Sky-Spinning Flying Bird!

Huonan slammed the table and stood up, looking up at the sky, "Who else?!"

Cheng Konghai took a deep breath, his Golden Zone erupted with a roar, Flowing Heart Martial Arts—Deep Space Giant Ant!

"Haha, Kuangwu, did you see that? That is Romero. As long as he gets serious, his opponent will be reduced to dust. That Sky-Spinning Flying Bird move was brilliant!" Huonan cheered and clapped loudly. "Audience behind the stream, what are you still hesitating for? Hurry and support Langwu! Don't miss out while you're here; it's rare to see such a guaranteed win."

The entire venue was in an uproar. No one expected that Tianjing Mecha, besides Puppet, still hid such a Flowing Heart Martial Arts master, yet he still fell under Romero's blade.

Everyone looked at the screen, then at Li Wu. There was no expression on Li Wu's face; he was just focused on the arena. Cheng Konghai's only remaining eye contracted violently: his pupils disappeared for an instant. This was the Ant's strongest mental technique, which had once run rampant in Tianqi.

At this moment, everyone watching the match had their eyes wide open—Xie'an, Maxis, Fan Liweite, Basta, and so on, whether they were on-site or in the operations room. In this battle, either the Ant or the Lone Wolf would eventually have to pull out their trump cards.

At this moment, everyone watching the match widened their eyes; Xie'an, Maxis, Fan Liweite, Basta, and others, whether present at the scene or in the combat room, all knew that in this battle, either the Ant or Lone Wolf would have to pull out their trump card.

After being imbued with the K23 God Element, no ability can be ignored.

Everyone heard a piercing sound; for a moment, it felt as if their hearing was about to be lost.

But the audience was already boiling over. From the perspective of the average person, that Thunder Guard was already finished. It had no weapon, had lost an arm, and the Mecha's balance was poor. Moreover, once damaged, how long could the Mecha's combat system hold up?

The moment both the pilot and the Mecha were suppressed, the Underworld Fire Fighter disappeared.

The Underworld Fire Fighter had been leading by one match, but at the very last moment, it fell into the Ant's fatal counterattack.

The Tianjing Mecha operations room was incomparably oppressive; even breathing seemed to have stopped. The palms of Zhou Naiyi and the others were sweating. Looking at Li Hao, he... didn't he say it was possible? Was there a chance to enter the team battle? Among the same type of technical experts, Cheng Konghai's strength seemed a bit stretched, after all, no one had been trading hammer blows with him. Just at this moment, hum—!

With a roar, the Thunder Mecha soared into the sky, leaping dozens of meters, and smashed its single fist toward the Underworld Fire Fighter.

The Thunder Mecha, having dodged in mid-air, grabbed the giant hammer and, despite losing its balance, threw it out anyway.

A punch was thrown, and the air rippled violently. The Mecha shook. That punch was overwhelming, yet... it missed??? This was the pride of Mars. The Thunder Mecha's only remaining left fist had already struck with full force. The creaking of the Mecha indicated it had been pushed to the limit. The advantage shifted instantly! By comparison, the Underworld Fire Fighter had sustained very little damage; time was running out for the Thunder Mecha....

A cold light radiated from Romero's single eye. The Underworld Blade suddenly performed a twisting cut, and the sturdy Titanium Chain actually snapped instantly. The Underworld Fire Fighter's engine roared—Flash Strike!

The surging power made the entire Mecha look as if it were burning. Releasing Flowing Heart Martial Arts, the pilot's operations were overflowing, and the Mecha's performance was pushed to the limit.

A punch was thrown, the air itself rippling violently, the Mecha vibrating; that punch was overwhelming, yet it missed??? That was the pride of Mars. The Thunder Mecha's only remaining left fist was already striking with full force, the creaking of the Mecha indicating it had been pushed to its limit, and the advantage shifted instantly! By comparison, the Underworld Fire Fighter was heavily damaged, and there was little time left for the Thunder Mecha....

Cheng Konghai was covered in flames, standing his ground!

The slow-motion replay was shown, and everyone was dumbfounded. The Titanium Chain wasn't cut; it was melted by the flames. This was Romero's ability—Melting Fire.

The Underworld Fire Fighter's Laser Shield opened, but it didn't fully defend against it. The Underworld Fire Fighter was also sent flying by that meteor-like strike. Boom.

At the same time, he looked at Kuangwu Daren with a provocation; his eyes were filled with the madness of a Martian. They had waited too long for this moment. Two Mobile Suits landed staggeringly, but the Underworld Fire Fighter quickly regained its balance. There was no fluctuation on Romero's face, while the Thunder Mecha slid more than ten meters before stabilizing.

The Thunder Mecha took heavy steps toward the Underworld Fire Fighter. Boom.

Ma Long and the others raised their hands and clenched their fists. The moment that would shock the world had arrived!!!!

The first time he cut the Titanium Chain, he had already planted the seeds of fire; it was just that no one paid attention to that bit of flame. The second time, the Underworld Blade was intentionally wrapped; he was waiting for this opportunity to exert force. It was a pity that he encountered Romero.

The distance at this moment was very close. The damaged Thunder Mecha directly Flash Struck. At the same time, Cheng Konghai's eyes radiated light in all directions. Time for him and the Mecha was running out; he could not allow Romero to drag this out.

In an instant, it was as if a giant ant monster appeared before his eyes, its giant mouth swallowing the sky.

Success or failure hung in the balance. At this moment, everyone's gaze was focused on the two Mecha.

The right arm only had the lower half left, the Titanium Shield was gone, and the hammer was also gone. The Underworld Fire Fighter only had a dent in its left chest, which was clearly still within the Mecha's tolerance—it wasn't the power of the Thunder, otherwise, it might have just been a scratch.

Kuangwu Daren did not speak. He didn't think it was over yet; after all, it was the Ant, there must still be a backup plan.

With Romero's roar, the massive Thunder Mecha was directly sliced open. The immense power directly blasted the Thunder Mecha away. Flowing Heart Martial Arts: Melting Lone Wolf!

In an instant, it was as if a giant ant monster appeared before their eyes, its massive maw swallowing the sky.

Success or failure hung in the balance; at this moment, everyone's gaze was fixed upon the two Mecha.

The right arm was reduced to only the upper half, the Titanium Shield was gone, and the hammer was also gone; the Underworld Fire Fighter only had a dent in its left chest, which was clearly still within the Mecha's tolerance, and it was not the power of Thunder, otherwise it might have been more than just a graze.

Kuangwu Daren did not speak; he did not feel that this was the end, for after all, it was an ant, and it must still have a backup plan.

Carrying the roar of Romero, the massive Thunder Mecha was directly

slashed open, and the immense power sent the Thunder Mecha flying with a boom. Flowing Heart Martial Arts, Melting Lone Wolf!

Romero did not have sufficient psychological preparation, nor did he have enough ability to resist, yet his body stiffened in that instant, and the molten flames were even stifled.

Romero revealed a ferocious grin on his face, his Zone Value running wild, "I want to see just how good Cheng Konghai's trump card is!"

The ground burst open, gravel filled the sky, and the entire ground collapsed; in the previous second, the giant Thunder Mecha leaped toward the Nether Fire once again.

Roar—

Ant had already launched a frontal collision; even if he dealt a fatal blow to the Thunder Mecha, he himself would not necessarily be destroyed along with his machine, for everyone in Tianjing knew what kind of personality Ant had.

It was very obvious that Langwu had already read the trump card of the Tianjing Martial Arts, and had used tactics to completely seize Cheng Konghai; currently, the Langwu Team was three to zero, so even if Puppet took the next match, so what!

On the Langwu side, there was silent excitement, and Jiro Robetan and the others clenched their fists tightly, but it was not yet time to celebrate, because this was the Hunter Team Leader Ant, a madman; before he stopped breathing, one must never let their guard down, as Klein had almost been hammered to death back then due to a tiny bit of underestimation.
