Chapter 421: Taking Back What Was Once Lost (Seeking Monthly Votes)

Whispers erupted throughout the arena. At this moment, not only the Martians, Moon People, and Titans, but even the Earthlings were a bit bewildered. What was this?

This was no longer just about being strong. This wasn't about dodging an opponent's attack; this was about devastation. Anyone standing before Puppet would feel despair from their body to their soul.

"Audience from the Solar System, this is Puppet God, the invincible Mecha War God!" Kuangwu Daren worshipped frantically. He knew it, he just knew it, it had to be this way. This was the dance of a god.

Accompanied by the cheers of the Earth audience that soared into the clouds, the contestant area was incredibly quiet. The Apocalypse members from Earth held their heads high with pride. It had always been this way, it had never changed. This was their Hunter King. This wasn't some battle of proof; it was just taking back what had once been lost.

Meanwhile, the Apocalypse members from other war zones remained silent. The shadow of Li Mo was returning step by step. Just coming out this year, he had led a group of losers to fight like this; what were they supposed to do in the future? Were the others even going to survive? Could it be that they had to give way whenever they ran into Tianjing?

Those who were not part of the Apocalypse were simply stunned. They also had a certain level of skill, and precisely because of that, they could see the intensity of this. How could he dodge that? And still counterattack...

At the Tianjing Martial Arts Academy, looking at the blood-pumping students, Long Danni didn't even know how to describe it. When she first used Li Hao, she was completely treating a dead horse as a living one. There were moments when she felt that such results had something to do with her brilliance. She was wrong.

What kind of power was this? This was completely hanging Basta out to dry. The variation of the Dual Blade Style—she had only heard that it was the strongest warrior to ever appear in the history of the Secret Martial Sect, yet facing Li Hao, he actually...

Rumble.

Nether Fire Genesis rushed out from the ruins and landed with a crash.

Li Hao's Black Night Fighter also descended from the sky. The two mechas were only a dozen meters apart.

The atmosphere suddenly solidified. Basta had used the Dual Blade Style and the Weightlessness ability, yet he still couldn't do anything to Li Hao. He didn't seem to be injured, but suddenly, it felt like the Wolf King wasn't as dominant anymore.

"Warm-up is over, right, Basta? I'm looking forward to the main course you've prepared," Li Hao said with a smile. Setting aside the S Tournament, this was also something he cared about.

The arena was silent. Warm-up?

Could this level really, truly, be called a warm-up? Was this really okay?

A cold, lonely curve appeared at the corner of Basta's mouth. The two Underworld Blades of Nether Fire Genesis stabbed into the ground. Amidst the purple flames, lightning flickered. The K23 Element was constantly being stimulated. Bolts of lightning wove around the Underworld Fire Fighter. Energy rolled, and arm-thick thunder snakes coiled around the Underworld Fire Fighter. Thunder rumbled in the sky, and dark clouds gathered.

"Dual lightning abilities?"

"Strange, if he has such a powerful ability, why didn't he use it?"

The level of Basta's lightning power crushed everything that had appeared before. What had appeared earlier was merely small-scale usage, but Basta was directly controlling the space within a hundred-meter radius. This was the power of a ruler.

The Martians, who had been a bit apprehensive, regained their confidence. How could they be cowardly? This was Basta, this was the great Wolf King!

"Lightning power is enough to deal with others, but it's a bit difficult to deal with this guy."

"Basta must know that too. No wonder he chose the dual Underworld Blades; I'm afraid he needs enough K23 to provide a medium. I just fear that strength alone won't be enough."

"One of the great illusions of facing Li Ge: I can counter-kill."

"We all know it, how could Basta not?"

The Black Night Fighter didn't move, watching the Underworld Fire Fighter continue to accumulate energy. The K23 Element in the two Underworld Blades was fully activated, forming a circulating energy matrix between them. The lightning power in the space wasn't used for attack, but was constantly circulating in the matrix. The purple flames gradually became thick and profound, and the huge black dragon light shadow was also constantly twisting and compressing, revealing a trace of violence and murderous intent amidst the lightning.

Chao Qinglong arrived with Ye Tong and the others, and their pupils contracted at the sight of this.

"Third Brother, here, just right." Depuya took the initiative to give up his spot.

The two looked at each other and nodded; everything was understood without words.

"Basta's zone?" Ye Tong frowned. These old-timers of the Apocalypse were indeed quite fierce.

"He used the Secret Martial Sect's Dual Blade Style plus the Weightlessness ability and it had no effect. Now, who knows what he's going to do?"

"The soul essence is twisting; it seems to be evolving?"

"Is there still someone who can change their soul essence?"

A Blood Moon rose into the sky. The twisted magic dragon circled and caught up, merging with the Blood Moon. In an instant, lightning tore through the sky, and the light and shadow shattered. Accompanied by a sky-piercing wolf howl, a huge Sky Wolf void was born—a Sky Wolf coiled in dark purple lightning.

Flowing Heart Martial Arts—Sky Wolf Soul Essence!

At this moment, the world seemed to be under the control of the Underworld Fire Fighter. The Golden Zone, which had been evenly matched, had been completely compressed into a corner. *Zeng*...

The Underworld Blade was pulled from the ground. Basta opened his dark purple eyes, his body rippling with peerless power. The Underworld Fire Fighter assumed an attack stance.

The Black Night Fighter and the Blood Moon pointed at each other simultaneously.

*Che ju*... *Che mou ju*... *You you you you*.

Both mechas lunged forward at the same time. The next moment, the Underworld Fire Fighter's Underworld Blade had already swung out. This distance???

*Pi-boom! *

A visible shockwave swept out. The Black Night Fighter swung its scabbard, the Laser Shield popped open. *Boom. *

With an explosion, the Laser Shield shattered directly, and the Black Night Fighter was blasted away. The aftermath blew huge cracks into the surrounding buildings.

*Zeng zeng zeng. *

The Underworld Blade danced, and shockwave after shockwave slashed toward the spot where the Black Night Fighter had landed.

*Boom. *

The Black Night Fighter shot into the sky, but the Underworld Fire Fighter had already arrived. The Underworld Blade hacked toward the Blood Moon. The moment they made contact, a violent shockwave appeared again. *Pa. *

The Blood Moon vibrated violently. *Weng. *

The shockwave radiated, and the Black Night Fighter appeared to have countless fine cracks, as if it had been swept by countless claws. The shockwave continued to sweep behind it.

*Dang dang dang dang dang*...

At this moment, the Underworld Fire Fighter was truly like a Wolf God descending to the world. The Dual Blade Style frantically bombarded the Black Night Fighter. Shockwaves covered the sky and blocked the sun. The Black Night Fighter could only fight desperately to defend, but the range the Blood Moon could cover was clearly insufficient to protect the entire mecha. The golden flames constantly strengthened, attempting to resist this power, but the cracks on the Black Night Fighter kept increasing.

Everyone's eyes widened. What kind of power was this? Basta's use of power had completely exceeded the scope of a single-soldier mecha and had risen to the level of a special combat unit. The sky was filled with shockwaves enveloping the Black Night Fighter. The Black Night Fighter was compressed into a tiny area and beaten frantically. The sky trembled, and the surrounding buildings were baptized by the shockwaves one by one, their surfaces directly swept into powder.

Lightning derivative ability—Shockwave!

All the Martian warriors clenched their fists nervously. In the Fire God's operation room, no one dared to even breathe. They knew who they were facing, but they believed in Basta, the only true god of Mars. While everyone else was complacent about mastering one ability, Basta directly ignored the surface power of lightning because he knew such power could never defeat that person. He needed a deeper understanding, to search, to have a desire and pursuit that transcended limits, which gave birth to the Sky Wolf Soul Essence and discovered the Thunder Shockwave.

The entire Martian audience stood up to cheer for Basta's frantic attack. Everyone, at this moment, Basta's prestige was like the heavens. The Blood Moon was like a child's sword technique; any technique was not worth mentioning in the face of absolute power.

While the Blood Moon was desperately resisting, it also tried to counterattack, but the entire Underworld Fire Fighter was shrouded in a layer of shockwaves. Any attack was delayed and rebounded. The slight difference meant waiting for the terrifying blow of the Dual Blade Style.

The counterattack achieved no effect, and the Black Night Fighter completely lost its chance. The Blood Moon and the scabbard desperately parried the Underworld Blade, while the shockwaves constantly ravaged the Black Night Fighter and its pilot.

Every one of Basta's blades carried the dominance to tear the sky apart, but even in this situation, Basta was not the least bit impatient. Blade after blade, he suppressed the Black Night Fighter, constantly weakening the Black Night's defense. The failures of Luo Mei, Luo, and Fan Liweite were meaningful; they had ruled out two possibilities for him. Even if the Blood Moon and the scabbard could block most of the attacks, the shockwaves were still constantly destroying the Black Night Fighter.

This was a mecha battle; as long as the mecha was destroyed, it was victory!

"Kill, kill, kill! Don't give Puppet any chance! Basta, brave Martian warrior, great Wolf King, victory is right before your eyes! Hold on, defeat him, ah ah ah ah ah!" Huonan shouted frantically. He had waited for this day, waited for this moment, for a very, very long time. This was the last man he could believe in; even if the world ended, he had to kill Mu Jiang.

Both sides entered the most critical trial of strength. Basta's state must be consuming a terrifying amount of energy. Even with the amplification of the K23 Element, to output such surging shockwaves, he must be consuming his own power. Either destroy the Black Night Fighter, or collapse himself.

The camera focused on the two, both the defender and the attacker, showing absolute focus and composure.

Using the coldest emotions to execute the hottest offense and defense!

Pop.

No matter how frantic Basta's Dual Blade Style became, the Black Night Fighter's defense remained watertight; however, having continuously shouldered the primary defensive protection, the left arm of the Black Night Fighter, which held the scabbard, began to crack, and with each successive confrontation, the damage caused by the shockwaves accumulated until a problem emerged.

These fine cracks appeared exceptionally glaring amidst the bursting flames; Basta seized it, for he had been waiting for this opportunity for a very, very long time!

Roar.

Sky Wolf roared, the two Underworld Blades vibrated frantically, all the flames retracted in an instant, the sky dimmed along with them, and the next moment, the dual blades struck toward the Black Night Saber.

Secret Martial Sect—Chuliu Tingzi Zhan!

Hum.

The massive blade light of the sound-blade exploded, a dark purple five-character mark shrouded the sky, the Black Night Fighter had nowhere to hide and could only manage a desperate defense; the next second, the Black Night Fighter's left arm reached its limit and completely shattered, leaving only a solitary Blood Moon, the Black Night Saber had never been so helpless, and the peerless Underworld Fire Fighter had already arrived, the dual Underworld Blades looming over the Black Night Fighter like Mount Olympus.

Boom.

The Black Night Fighter plummeted into the ground like a meteor, a massive crater steamed, but Basta did not stop, taking a deep breath, the Underworld Blades paused for only a moment before frantically blasting shockwaves toward the Black Night Fighter buried in the ground!

Che-ju-che-mou-ju-che-mou-ju-che-mou-ju-ju-ju... you-you-you-you-you-you-you-you-you-you-you-you.

Dozens more Nether Slash shockwaves followed, gravel filled the sky, and the force completely swept the ground centered on the Black Night Fighter.
