Almost no superfluous energy fluctuations, but Connet recalled when he was young, hunting in the Desolate Mountain Range, being stared at by the hidden Red-Scaled Python.
Malicious, venomous, deadly in one strike.
And the person who gave him this feeling, there were two of them now.
"Slow, too slow..." Theo’s voice slowly rose, as if it was right in front of him, yet seemingly at the horizon, his form seeming to transform into a flowing shadow.
"Theo...?" Connet’s face slightly changed, he clenched his fists subconsciously, his expression growing more solemn, then suppressing his terror: "The other is...Azure Dragon!?"
Theo possesses the ability to hide invisibly and has terrifying speed that is hard to detect with the naked eye, which was not surprising to him.
But Azure Dragon... could actually match Theo?
Not right... Connet collected his thoughts, the powers used by Azure Dragon, seemed to be space-traversing abilities, a technique of his Mecha?
Utilizing external objects to enhance one’s own strength and methods was very common in interstellar, and Great Mechanics were among the best.
"Why would the two of them start fighting?" Connet furrowed his brows, his gaze tightly fixed on the narrow corridor ahead, continuously twisting his fingers.
Ulrich was still silent, catching a glimpse from the corner of his eye, two more streaks of flowing light followed closely.
Kewis and Fernand arrived, like Connet at first slightly puzzled, then their faces filled with horror, and afterward fluctuating uncertainly.
"Tsk, this guy truly is a professional assassin." Li Ming was secretly shocked in the arena, he too wanted to probe Theo’s limits, hence this retaliation.
It truly made him realize the huge gap between them.
The biggest problem was due to the difference of an entire major life level, causing his reaction speed to be far inferior to Theo’s.
[Intelligent Assistance] could capture Theo’s position, but he couldn’t react quickly enough.
Just now in the pursuit battle, he was merely using [Space Blink], [Gale Shadow] to continuously switch positions, only "running", not actively "dodging".
Even so, he was still harmed by Theo’s dagger.
And now in reverse, he basically couldn’t touch even the hem of Theo’s garment.
"But who let me open this, let me see what other methods you have..." Li Ming thought to himself.
Then, everyone only saw Theo’s figure suddenly emerge in the arena, frowning slightly.
Those grey eyes flickered with light, scanning around.
"Where is he? How did he suddenly disappear?" Theo was full of doubts, his line of view filled with scattered information states, but there was no sight of Azure Dragon.
This reminded him of back in the Land of Stars when he prepared to capture Azure Dragon and encountered the same situation.
"No, this time it’s different, I can feel that he is still watching me, space interlayer?" Theo became extremely vigilant in his heart, no longer underestimating Azure Dragon.
"Where is he?" Ulrich was also searching for Azure Dragon, his feeling towards Azure Dragon had shifted from wariness to fear.
"Gone?" Connet surveyed the entire corridor, his heart heavy, the other two faces were grim, also using all means to search for Azure Dragon’s figure.
Unable to find now, meant Azure Dragon could at any moment, handle them the same way.
Time passed by every second, after a full eight or nine minutes, everyone held their breath.
At that moment, Connet’s pupils suddenly contracted, feeling tingles on his scalp.
Suddenly, right beside Theo, a figure emerged very abruptly from the continuously trembling shadow of Sandro, in a silent moment, a dense Thunderstorm suddenly exploded.
[Shadow Sting]’s Guaranteed Hit ability, Li Ming had tried it, quite peculiar, possessing some kind of locking and tracking capability.
But he had not tested it on a real powerful life form, nor did he know, if the target evaded, how his attack would hit in what form.
Attacking from the shadows, like a thunderclap exploding, although Li Ming was probing, he spared no means.
[Thunderstorm Fervor] activated, he deliberately waited for the cooldown time of the Control Objects to switch, replacing it with the highest enhanced Main Battle System.
Because [Justice Arm Armor] and [Vortex Shadow] were already A-Level Control Objects, the enhancement of Thunder Element from the Main Battle System had surged to more than a hundred thirty times.
And on the visibly smaller arms of the Tank Guard, black Fist Armor had somehow been fitted already.
Metal armor plates slightly opened, the miniature Hot Nuclear Reaction engine burst into full power, spewing red gas waves from the crevices.
Mixed with the bright blue electric arcs erupting from his body, more peculiarly, silver nanoparticles had covered the Fist Armor, undergoing a secondary enhancement through [Silver Grey Particles].
This strike was terrifying to the extreme.
Ulrich’s face revealed horror, Kewis couldn’t help but step back, his body ached all over, and Fernand felt a chilling dread.
At that moment, they all had an illusion that this brutally violent fist was not aiming at Theo, but seemed ready to smash towards them.
And in the arena, Sandro’s eyes were filled with despair as the scent of death, so near at hand, enveloped him.
While Theo only felt a sudden chill surge in his heart, his body reacted faster than his mind, instinctively dodging and had already transformed into a Flowing Shadow, disappearing from the spot without a trace.
But the pressing fists of the Azure Dragon followed right behind, this time with an unmasked terrifying speed, where even the air seemed to solidify into tangible walls only to be shattered one by one.
The sound of sonic booms continued to resonate, airwaves roiled, and tidal-like Thunder Foxes uncontrollably surged in all directions, tearing the metal walls as easily as paper.
"Not good, the main ship!" Connet’s face turned ugly, forced to intervene, containing the spreading Thunder brilliance and the sonic airwaves.
All the power converged on those iron fists, and the energy fluctuations that dispersed were just a trivial fraction.
"How can this be..." Theo’s heart trembled, the shadow-like threat kept closing in.
The iron fists of the Azure Dragon seemed to have firmly locked onto him, the distance between them closed in a flash, the opponent’s speed escalated to an unprecedented level, even faster than him.
The confrontation between the two was almost measured in the time it took for thoughts to turn.
Theo’s figure suddenly dispersed, turning into several shadows scattering in all directions, each shadow’s appearance, form, expression, and even breath seemed nearly identical.
However, the pale gold Mecha didn’t slow down at all, its iron fist heading straight for one of those shadows.
"How could this be..." Theo was astonished, that was a clone he created using a state of information, almost a last resort.
The Azure Dragon could lock on to his real body without any hesitation?
Li Ming didn’t even know what words to use to describe his current feelings.
He himself found it hard to see the fleeting scenes around him, only vaguely distinguishing the several shadows that Theo had split into.
But even before he had the chance to think, [Shadow Sting] had already automatically chosen a target for him.
The flow of thoughts occurred in an instant, and then, Li Ming just felt his arms jerk, the feedback of force instantly spread through the entire Mecha, causing some fragile joint areas to emit overburdened creaking sounds.
The surroundings became clear, a loud boom resounded by his ear.
Following that, a dazzling and blinding brilliance covered his sight.
In an instant, Theo’s grey pupils suddenly filled with blood, those iron fists were too massive, directly covering his spine.
The terrifyng great force descended in an unstoppable manner, tearing apart the surface flesh, bones emitting overburdened moans.
The raging energy ripples burst open, yet were suppressed by wave after wave of energy, Kewis, Fernand, and even Ulrich had to intervene.
But within the area, the rampant aftershocks stirred everything, turning it into a complete ruin.
Like an arrow leaving the bow, a figure shot out, streaking past the Flowing Light, piercing through the main ship in an instant, then shooting into the Starfield.
Inside the whole ship, red lights flickered non-stop, alarm sounds blaring without end.
Li Ming stood on the spot, the black iron fists fitted on both arms of the Tank Guard Mecha emitted a hissing noise, the dense red smoke spreading out.
