Chapter 425: A Person Always Has a Time in Their Life When They Have to Fight for Their Life

Zhou Naiyi had no time to respond at all; she was tightly entangled by Guma. She truly did not know how Zuo Xiaotang had discovered and dealt with these monsters. Amidst Guma's entanglement, there was nowhere to hide, and she simply could not break free.

Ma Long shared the coordinates. He did not intend to occupy the base; once occupied, the opponent would discover him, and he would not be able to hold it. He was currently waiting for reinforcements, but his joy lasted less than three seconds before he suddenly realized a serious problem.

Damn it, Basta was also heading toward this place. The next moment, Ma Long instantly changed direction. Basta should not have entered the signal zone of Red Flag Base yet; he hoped to be able to lure Basta away.

But Ma Long clearly underestimated Basta. The Nether Fire Fighter only paused slightly, yet it still continued to advance in its original direction. Seeing this situation, Ma Long, who had rushed out several dozen meters, had no choice but to turn back. Compared to letting Basta occupy it first, it was better to do it himself.

Both teams had received the location of Red Flag Base. Basta's Nether Fire Fighter rushed toward Red Flag Base at full speed. Once the Red Flag Base was occupied, the Fire God Team's plan would be half successful. Ma Long used every ounce of strength he had; he had to be one step ahead to buy time for everyone, even if it was just one more second. Sometimes, the change in the tide of battle comes down to a single second.

Zuo Xiaotang was closest to Ma Long, and he was also chasing in this direction.

Plans could not keep up with changes. There was no hope for Guma and Zhou Naiyi; the distance between them was simply too great. Taking out the opponent was the primary goal.

Cheng Konghai had already been surrounded by three beast-type mechas and could not break free at all. Walan and the others had no intention of going to Red Flag Base first; their King was there. Ten Ma Longs wouldn't be enough to make a single dish. Once they finished off the ants and occupied Red Flag Base, they would have a ninety percent chance of victory in their hands.

The three Mobile Suits took turns striking the Iron Armor Steel Fist. They were not in a hurry; the advantage of numbers in a team battle was not about swarming, but about having coordination and layers. In terms of combined attack techniques, the Fire God Team was also peerless.

Have you ever seen how a wolf pack tears apart its prey? Even if Cheng Konghai were a polar bear, in the end, he would only be reduced to bone fragments. They certainly knew Cheng Konghai wanted to drag one or two down with him, but how could it be that easy?

Ma Long's distance was still closer; Red Flag Base was right before his eyes. Ma Long's Mingwang Mecha was the first to seize Red Flag Base. The precise location of Red Flag Base appeared directly on all team members' radars, and simultaneously, the ten-minute countdown for occupation began.

But Ma Long could not feel happy at all. Zuo Xiaotang was still a while away; he was already rushing with all his might. At that distance, Hao Ge would need another ten-plus minutes. Zhou Naiyi could not make it, Cheng Konghai was surrounded, and Li Hao was unable to support Cheng Konghai. If he turned to support Cheng Konghai, the time to get here would be even longer. Now, all the heavy burden was pressed onto Ma Long.

Ma Long was so frustrated. His luck was truly good, but why couldn't he swap with someone else? Anyone else in this position would be more suitable than him.

Ma Long jumped directly onto the base's Super Laser Cannon. The energy had already gathered, and the Nether Fire Fighter had also appeared. He had one chance to fire. This kind of Super Laser Cannon could not be blocked by any mecha, but once it missed, it would take five minutes to gather energy again, and there could not be any opponent mechas at the base.

The Nether Fire Fighter had already appeared in his field of vision, its center of gravity lowered, rushing toward the base at high speed. Both sides saw each other.

Ma Long had never imagined that one day he would face such a situation. The life and death of the team were actually pressed onto him, and the person someone like him was facing was actually the Wolf King Basta, an existence so high above that he had to jump up just to look up at him.

Ma Long's palms were sweating non-stop. The laser cannon was already aimed at the Nether Fire Fighter, but could he hit it?

Once he fired, would he go left, right, or up?

Within the range of the Super Laser Cannon, it was generally very difficult to dodge a Flash Strike. Could the Nether Fire Fighter dodge it? He probably needed to predict.

Predict the Wolf King's prediction?

Damn it, Ma Long's mind was a mess, but in this short time, the distance had been closed again.

The spectators at the scene were anxious. What the hell was he still thinking about? Fire!

If the distance was too close, this Super Laser Cannon would be useless.

"Ma Long, what are you doing? Fire!"

"Fire."

Ma Long gritted his teeth, the massive laser cannon's energy flashed, Boom...

A giant beam of light blasted toward the Nether Fire Fighter. At the last moment, he didn't let his thoughts run wild but aimed straight ahead. This was the best judgment. He bet that Basta couldn't dodge under a direct assault; normal people couldn't dodge it!

The moment the Super Laser Cannon flashed, Basta's Nether Fire Fighter used Flash Strike, the next moment it soared into the air, instantly darting out several dozen meters, tracing a parabola in the high sky...

Basta had released his Weightlessness ability onto his own mecha. He didn't use it in normal combat because it was fundamentally worthless, but this extreme evasion maneuver had always been there.

Using Flash Strike at the moment of weightlessness, he perfectly dodged the Super Laser Cannon while getting closer to Red Flag Base.

Despair. Facing such a top-tier expert, Ma Long only felt a sense of powerlessness. But he could not stop. He knew he couldn't win; what he had to do was buy time.

The four-mount laser cannon began to roar. Ma Long's marksmanship was still decent, but Basta didn't do any large-scale dodging at all, using the K23 Titanium Shield to block head-on, approaching step by step.

The Wolf King's terrifying pressure directly enveloped him. The energy impact of the laser cannon could only slow down the Nether Fire Fighter's speed slightly.

Zuo Xiaotang hadn't arrived yet. What to do, what to do?!

Everyone's heart was tightening. If Ma Long were replaced by Wuzang, this battle would be secure. Not to say Wuzang could defeat the current Basta, but at least he could hold him off, and the situation would be very different. But with Ma Long, as long as the Nether Fire Fighter got in, it would be good if Ma Long's legs didn't go soft. The luck from last time couldn't happen a second time.

This was also the first time Ma Long had encountered such a battle, completely ignoring his laser attacks. Resisting like this—the appearance of the Golden Zone indeed made this kind of firepower a bit lackluster, especially when facing a top-tier expert like Basta. This was also why the Mingwang Mecha had almost no place to shine in this S-Tournament. It was conceivable that this was a mecha that would definitely be adjusted in the future; if it couldn't adapt to the Golden Zone, it would inevitably be eliminated.

Panicked, truly panicked. Damn it, Ma Long slapped himself twice. Healing was useless at this distance. Heal, heal who? His ability was simply useless in combat. He couldn't heal the laser cannon, could he?

Ma Long's Golden Zone tentatively made contact with the laser.

His Golden Zone seemed to be able to fuse with the energy???

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

The red laser beam shot out. Basta didn't pay it any mind, easily dodging three shots and blocking one with a wave of his hand.

Boom.

The Nether Fire Fighter was blasted into the air. The Nether Fire Fighter's advance was brought to a screeching halt.

777.

Ma Long was ecstatic. I really am a genius! Everything can be healed!

His ability itself belonged to the energy nature, life energy, and at the same time, it could also amplify purer lasers.

Hum, hum, hum.

Beams of mutated energy blasted toward Basta. Basta also frowned, refusing to believe it, and blocked one. The entire mecha was blasted back again. It was obvious that the force and damage the K23 Titanium Shield was bearing had completely changed; he probably couldn't hold it much longer.

Basta didn't dare to be careless and entered Flowing Heart Martial Arts directly. His whole body was in excruciating pain, but at this moment, he couldn't care about that anymore. The Nether Fire Fighter, burning with intense light flames, charged. But at this moment, Ma Long was already manic. Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he wouldn't care. Fire!

The four-mount laser cannon fired crazily. The extreme stimulation and excitement put Ma Long in his best state. His own Golden Zone poured into the laser cannon continuously. If Basta were at his peak, such a Ma Long would still be trash, but Ma Long had the geographical advantage of Red Flag Base. The current Basta could only be counted as half, and even this half, he still had to save strength to deal with Li Hao and Cheng Konghai.

But Ma Long didn't care about that. His mission was to delay. Holding out until reinforcements arrived was the greatest victory of his life.

The dazzling white laser turned into a red beam here at Ma Long's position, and the beam was clearly thicker, bombarding the Nether Fire Fighter non-stop. Ma Long didn't even necessarily have to hit; he was just trying to stop the Nether Fire Fighter from advancing. Ma Long only had his Burning Will. He could feel his body being drained, but now, let alone drained, even if it cost him his life, he wouldn't stop!

A person always has a time in their life when they have to fight for their life.

The Wolf King's footsteps did not stop. The Nether Fire Fighter continued to push forward, unfolding Variable Ghost Steps. Ma Long's attacks began to miss by a wide margin. Basta dared not hold back any longer; he had to occupy Red Flag Base with all his might. This was not only to gain the initiative and the geographical advantage but also to disrupt the rhythm and mentality of Tianjing Martial Arts one step ahead, making them anxious.

At this distance, some abilities could not be used; he had to enter Red Flag Base, a forced breakthrough. At the same time, the Titanium Shield was also shrouded in a layer of light. It was a desperate fight.

Ma Long's laser could no longer blast open Basta, and Basta's distance was getting closer and closer. Ma Long dared not stop, nor could he stop. Joining the Tianjing Team, all the way from the Mid-Season Tournament, the exchange tournament, to the S-Tournament, he had always felt like he was a freeloader. He was a freeloader, but he also wanted to shine once, to make his brothers proud of him once.

Screw you, Wolf King or Dog King, as long as he had a breath left, don't even think about getting in.

Ma Long's eyes were bloodshot, his Golden Zone burning continuously, the four-mount laser firing in turns. It was just that Basta also would not back down. Since he had decided to fight hard, he didn't intend to hold back. The fully unleashed Nether Fire Fighter began to close in, but the pressure Ma Long gave was indeed great. He didn't dare to go all-in, and it wasn't the time to go all-in yet.

Just as Basta was about to enter the Flash Strike impact distance, a loud explosion tore through the Kepler sky. The Nether Fire Fighter almost instantly fell to the ground and turned sideways.

Zuo Xiaotang had arrived!

Seeing the Shadow Demon heavy sniper rifle of Lieying Apollo, Zuo Xiaotang also clicked his tongue; under such circumstances, Basta was actually still able to dodge his attack, truly worthy of being the Wolf King, and in the instant of the dodge, Zuo Xiaotang knew that Basta had already discovered his position, but it was useless, so what if he discovered it, he couldn't do anything about him either, Ma Laoshi was too awesome, actually able to solo-defend against the Wolf King.

"Zuoge, save me!"

"Ma Laoshi, mighty as ever, screw him, don't rush, we just need to keep him from getting in, you take the front, I'll play guerrilla from the side!"

Zuo Xiaotang and Ma Long both played the cowardly style, having absolutely no thoughts of defeating the Wolf King in a two-on-one, they were just stalling, waiting for reinforcements, and this was precisely what disgusted Basta the most, this damn massive advantage, these two dog sons were actually stalling him, the dignified Wolf King had never been so wretched before.
