A flash, another, and another - let Mount Tai collapse before me, I will remain unmoved. The Gun Rider controlled by Ophelia transformed into a white thunderbolt, no matter how Feng Yi attacked, he couldn't take the lead. She was like a proud and invincible valkyrie on the battlefield. All the while, Ophelia was also observing Feng Yi covertly—her opponent was indeed strong, but he was just strong, an assessment deeply tied to his individual prowess.
However, in the realm of mecha battles, not everyone can become a Red Cloak. The tactics and knowledge Ophelia had masterfully grasped were incomparable to Feng Yi. In this fight, she felt profoundly disappointed, tinged with a faint sense of loss. No matter how well he disguised himself, the similar details revealed he was clearly not the Revenge Shadow Rider.
Now, it was time to end this. Fighting with Feng Yi was nothing but a waste of time with no purpose in sight. With this idea in mind, Ophelia suddenly initiated a spinning move after dodging over a hundred of Feng Yi's attacks, then slung a dashing shot with one hand, "Heh, a streaking spear kill."
The sound of breaking the air suddenly reverberated around the field, along with the launching of the streaking spear kill, her spear rotated gracefully. One could only imagine the tremendous force behind this attack. In the setting sun, the demise of her opponent came when the last glimmers of her spearhead's light disappeared.
Feng Yi was caught off guard. Who would've thought that Ophelia, who was defending all along, would suddenly go on the offensive? The attack was indeed formidable.
With a loud clanging...Feng Yi proved himself adept. Ophelia's streaking spear-form attack was easily blocked by a casual intercept from Feng Yi, and with a swinging motion, her attack was completely deflected and rendered useless.
Unexpectedly, this surprised Ophelia, it was truly a delightful case of starting last but hitting first.
However, not every time will Lady Luck smile upon you. Ophelia smirked slightly at the corner of her mouth. Seeing her attack fail, she instantly made a nimble turn and swiftly moved to Feng Yi's side, and in one swift motion, she launched a second attack—a dragon's tail sweep. She believed Feng Yi, who was in a blind spot, would lose his target momentarily due to inertia. And what she had to do was to defeat her opponent in that split second.
With the sound of breaking air mixed in, the Silver Spear was drawn towards Feng Yi's spine at an imperceptible speed. If Feng Yi was hit, he would be utterly defeated.
With another loud clanging, the attack was blocked. This time, the force of the attack seemed much weaker than the last time. Feng Yi's Gun Rider didn't even bother to take a look at the spear's shaft. Even though he wasn't seeing the movement of the spear body, he could predict Ophelia's next move from her actions—there was no need to bother with an attack whose endpoint was already known.
Don't get complacent because of a temporary victory. The reason Feng Yi chose not to face off with Ophelia was not because she wasn't formidable, but that she had nothing he could learn from. It's his guiding principle to fight diligently and not relax until the outcome is decided. A battle is a contest of soul, faith, and life, not a display of theoretical knowledge from textbooks. Feng Yi dismissed these superficial and flashy maneuvers.
Although Feng Yi's moves didn't follow any set patterns, it's often those without set patterns who are not limited by any. This was what he wanted Ophelia to understand. Whether she could comprehend it or not depended on her personal perception. After all, strictly speaking, in a battle against Red Cloak or White Cloak elites, he didn't believe he had any advantage, except that he had the advantage of having a calm and steady mind, sharp perception, overall judgement, and solid basic skills.
Because Phantom Knight 0001 was a basic machine model, Feng Yi decided to control this mecha without any hesitation.
He coldly said, "Your next move should be 'Exploring the Flowers in Mist,' right?"
"What!?" Ophelia was planning to change moves again, but when Feng Yi unexpectedly said this, she unintentionally stepped backward several steps in succession. In the battlefield, it's most terrifying to let your opponent see through your attack. How could he know so much about mechas?
At this moment, Vivian and the fat guy had also arrived at the Red Flame Military base. They originally planned to settle accounts with Feng Yi, but who would've expected him to stand up against an elite Red Cloak? Interestingly, he was able to restrain Ophelia with his straightforward and brutal style, unaffected by her maneuvers.
The fat tiger could discern many details. No one knew whether Feng Yi was the Revenge Shadow Rider, but he had taught them a lot of knowledge related to battles. He was definitely not as simple as he appeared. Facing off against Ophelia, he certainly didn't think Brother Feng would lose.
With clanging sounds echoing around, sparks filled the void as Feng Yi began a relentless onslaught against Ophelia. One move followed the other without a break. Under the accumulated pressure, Ophelia frequently leaned back.
What was laughable was that Feng Yi's assault could only be described as chaotic and lacked rhythm. Because of this, Ophelia was able to barely manage to endure the waves of attacks.
However, in doing so, Ophelia's rhythm was completely disrupted. She had completely fallen into Feng Yi's tempo. But, Feng Yi's offense didn't have any rhythm to begin with. It was all-out bombardment. Ophelia's blood was pumping hard, and she felt a numb sensation creeping into her arms. This was caused purely by the energy from Feng Yi's attacks.
What brutal assault was this? If this were to get out, wouldn't they be laughed at? However, Ophelia didn't feel oppressed as she would have with a stronger opponent. Because she, too, entered a state of excitement that words couldn't describe. Bombarding recklessly felt pretty good, at least it provided a refreshing experience she'd never had as an elite Red Cloak - trading blows without any other elements to the hard hits.
For a full 20 minutes, the two exchanged blows continuously, both seeming quite disheveled. Ophelia was already soaked in sweat, with a hole punched into her stomach. But Feng Yi was also in bad shape. At some point, Ophelia had taken off his head with her spear, and he could only assess his surroundings through auxiliary devices.
With the sound of ongoing collisions echoing through the camp, the two once again distanced themselves. Up till this point, no one thought about using thermal weapons. In this fight, using them would be spoiling the fun.
With a swoosh...
Ophelia took the lead and leaped forward, not bothering to check before swinging her spear, damn it, let's just fight. At present, she was thoroughly enjoying the feeling of letting loose.
But this time, Feng Yi acted a bit cheekily, refusing to dodge or evade. He let himself be hit directly and knocked Ophelia over...
What kind of trick was this? While everyone remained puzzled, Ophelia suddenly felt her heart throbbing. The opponent wanted to perish together with her. Her survival system couldn't be activated while her back was grounded! If so, he mustn't be allowed to escape. In a flash, Ophelia, like an octopus, clung onto Feng Yi, completely blocking his escape pod.
The observers on the scene were all speechless. No matter how you looked at it, their pose looked somewhat obscene. With a bang, an explosion marked the end of the fight. They perished together and the match ended in a draw...
As she stepped out of the battle mecha, Ophelia, still dissatisfied, asked, "I don't understand why you chose to end the battle in such a way."
