Feng Yi controlled the Mecha to strike back with a slash, sweeping across the sky.

With a loud bang and a burst of brilliance, even the heavy body of the Revenge Shadow Rider was shaken back, the force of the sweep unimaginably astonishing.

The beast only tilted slightly backward due to inertia, and as its front feet hit the ground, it lashed out with a divine dragon's tail swipe, the attack's momentum unstoppable.

Bring it on! Just as 0001's body was retreating in a flash, under the reactive force, the Shadow Rider thrust its blade into the ground for support, its body soared, dodging the tail while simultaneously delivering a whip kick straight into the beast's steel body.

Yet Hugo's attack had not ended, his body swiftly rotating as his tail whipped up the Titanium Alloy blade, and just as the Shadow Rider's whip kick was delivered, the beast struck with another claw.

Boom! Their attacks exchanged...

The Revenge Shadow Rider's kick fiercely shot into the beast's body, and the beast's steel claw also struck all around the Shadow Rider in the nick of time, the beast's body flung backward nearly rolling on the ground due to the intense collision.

The Revenge Shadow Rider was also knocked away, and in that instant, he too suffered significant injuries. The entangling fight between the two was devoid of any flourishes—just plain, tough confrontation testing each other's will and foundation. Clearly, Hugo, having no particular talents, had not reached this point by any shortcuts.

Importantly, the Revenge Shadow Rider lost his Titanium Alloy blade. This meant that besides his own combat skills, he no longer had any weapons to use.

Unexpectedly, the beast then picked up the Titanium Alloy blade and threw it back toward the Revenge Shadow Rider...

The Shadow Rider still did not move, waiting until the most appropriate moment, his engine erupted with a thunderous noise, his figure dashed forward, lightning-fast, trying to retrieve the weapon.

The beast also delivered long-range firepower simultaneously as the Revenge Shadow Rider moved...

Boom boom boom, a series of roars of heavy gunfire resounded, the multi-layered barrage exceptionally dense at that instant, like rainfall.

Yet, the Revenge Shadow Rider charged straight through undeterred, leveraging the Mecha's inherent advantage. In the brutal charge, he nearly maximized the potential for ricocheting, the crisp dinging sounds persisting.

But not every bullet could be deflected. Faced with the piercing power of AT armor-piercing rounds and the shock damage of HEAT rounds, the Shadow Rider darted like thunder, his maneuvering hardly inferior to his opponent. His choice not to dodge was solely because no previous adversaries had exerted enough pressure to make him dodge, but Hugo had managed it, marking this as a fair and fierce direct confrontation.

In that moment, the Revenge Shadow Rider glided through bullets as if threading stars, at every critical juncture managing to brush past the bullets, pulling off maneuvers of extremely high difficulty, rolling, jumping, striking, crisscrossing in every direction.

Then, as the Shadow Rider caught the blade, the beast instantly leapt to his side, leveraging its speed advantage. The beast's movements nearly surpassed those of bullets, setting up a crossfire situation through frontal suppression.

Clang Clang Clang... Whoosh Whoosh, Boom Boom Boom...

As blade lights blazed, the Revenge Shadow Rider's blade continuously parried, the Flame Dual Slash continuously morphing, wrapping him as if in an untouchable golden domain. Over time, the Revenge Shadow Rider's movements grew slower, eventually stopping altogether. Despite his figure standing still, the wild aftershadows appearing seemed to break everything in the vicinity.

With no self and true self, no form and true form, no likeness and true likeness, no intent and true intent, the Revenge Shadow Rider entered into the path of enlightenment through battle, comprehending the Third Rhythm, an absolute domain of the Flame Dual Slash.

At this moment, the Flame Dual Slash was in full swing, already in an absolute domain stance. Further attacks would likely just waste ammunition. Slowly, Hugo began to withdraw his offense...

Then, while still immobile, the Revenge Shadow Rider's figure instantly transformed into innumerable afterimages, as if the previous extreme moves had been suppressed, bursting forth only at the moment he stopped moving.

The audience watched in awe. What kind of skill was this? The Flame Dual Slash could be executed in a burst mode? Or was it that the Revenge Shadow Rider's continuous burst of hand speed had just maintained at 1K, 2K, or even higher levels? That was so cool!

At this time, even Kexiao's gaze was no longer calm... The Revenge Shadow Rider had actually formed an absolute domain within a brief period, something even he couldn't achieve. This must have been a fluke.

Countries had to reconsider a question—should they continue to fight when facing the Revenge Shadow Rider? Engaging with such a terrifying adversary, with attack strategies and defenses that were inexplicable, was there any chance of victory?

When you thought you were rapidly growing, when you believed you were about to catch up to him, he would always bring an even more unexpected impact. To the average person, this was a surprise and somewhat accidental, but to fighters, it was like a mountain pressing on their chests, an insurmountable monument.

The Revenge Shadow Rider apparently didn't see this as a big deal, and as he withdrew, he simultaneously flicked out his laser, locking on briefly before continuously pulling the trigger in Hugo's direction.

The Black Panther reacted instantly, leaping swiftly in the middle of the battlefield while launching a counterattack, attempting to quickly create distance. Hugo was not unaware of the potency of the Revenge Shadow Rider's long-distance weapons; engaging at such close range was certainly not a wise move.

The Shadow Rider, seeing the situation, swiftly pursued. The engines hissed as they quickly disappeared over the horizon.

At that moment, the confronting sides had unleashed their maximum firepower constraints; where they passed, dark clouds of smoke rose continuously, then vanished under the scarlet halo—it was the man-made sun on the horizon, exceptionally radiant under the blaze of blue smoke.

In this process of restraint and counter-restraint, Hugo's speed gradually slowed down, and his spirit became even more desolate. During the restraining process, he was slowly suppressed by the Revenge Shadow Rider, with less and less space to move. With a loud crash, as the Revenge Shadow Rider kicked out, Alpha delivered a side kick straight to the target.

Boom...

The battered mecha beast fell again... Of course, the body of the Revenge Shadow Rider also fared no better.

However, this heavy strike was even more forceful than before, very heavy, indeed very heavy, so heavy that Hugo felt like he could just go to sleep.

The beast on the ground didn't move at all, 1 second, 2 seconds, 3 seconds, a dozen seconds quietly passed.

Yet everyone in the federal viewing area stood up straight.

"Hugo, don't fall. Hugo, keep going!"

Yes, people were cheering for Hugo, screaming for their warrior, not for the Revenge Shadow Rider. Only the soldiers bloodied in battle could receive such an honor.

The echoed encouragement sounded like droplets of a clear spring gradually reaching Hugo's ears. Right, he had once been a super soldier. Although he no longer rode in an elite mecha, he was still a soldier defending his country—how could he be crushed by this setback, and how could he possibly give up so easily?

The beast's steel claws moved slightly, then it suddenly stood upright, its movements shaky yet seemingly containing some unshakeable will.

Suddenly, the dark beast mecha assumed an extremely unusual posture, its upper body leaning forward and downward while its rear arched upward, the angle of incline even surpassing the normal level of readiness, something that could be considered improper operation.

But at that moment, no one was not surprised; that was unmistakably the signature technique of the Flame Legion, the starting stance of the Storm Surge beast form mecha, the more the energy gathered, the faster and more ferocious the outbreak.

Accompanied by a beastly roar, Hugo launched another attack, his body nearly devoid of all strength somehow finding the energy—but this was the only thing he could do!

A gleam of light was here one moment and gone the next; the camera barely caught up with the action, the speed of the pounce under ultrafast operation surpassing limits.

"So fast!"

Feng Yi's eyes rapidly contracted; the Revenge Shadow Rider seemed to rely on instinct, quickly ducking backwards, nearly getting hit directly.

However, that was just the first move of the Storm Surge. Like defying the laws of physics, the Black Panther's claws dug into the ground while the engines fired continuously, bursting into a second, abrupt return dash, followed by another flash of black light.

The Revenge Shadow Rider performed a rapid carp flip to stand, unprepared for the second attack that thundered down. The Shadow Rider, relying on instinctive control, jumped to dodge, almost moving parallel to his opponent.
