Time waits for no one. Sky Shadow had no choice but to abandon his Mecha. Inside the Light Screen, an afterimage flashed past the screen...

A roar followed by an explosion. Sky Shadow's body had not yet hit the ground when it was blasted away by the powerful shock wave... Fortunately, his strength was formidable. In the emptiness, he somersaulted, adjusting his balance with every breath. The moment he landed, three fingers touched the ground first. With a twist of his waist, he vaulted into the air a second time and landed again, completely dissipating the force.

Mengdie stood there with her tall and graceful figure, her cold eyes monitoring everything. Throughout this, she didn't choose to pursue him. It was only after Sky Shadow had regained his footing that she advanced towards him with light steps.

Sky Shadow, realizing the situation, cursed inwardly. Mengdie's graceful figure did not give him any hint of victory. Instead, it felt like the final warning bell of death approaching, step by step.

It was a miscalculation. He hadn't expected her to use self-destruction. While he had witnessed Mengdie's abilities, he was confident that he could defeat her while piloting Gun Rider. Losing Gun Rider did not mean that Sky Shadow could not hold his own in a fight. Now, he needed to think of a plan.

'In no way does Zana's top Red Cloak disappoint. How about we make a bet?'

'...'

Sky Thorne didn't choose to attack, but proposed a gamble instead. In response, he was met with silence, which caused a wave of commotion both on and off the field…

'Cut it out, are you a mute or something?'

'...'

Again there was silence. Or perhaps Zana's high-rank officials originally intended for Mengdie to play the role of the top White Cloak, and they had not expected her to support the duel between the two. Otherwise, they would not have swapped out her model at the last minute. However, all of this was overturned when she defeated Duolin. Now, Mengdie's primary instruction was to defeat any opponent, with no regard for her character archetype. Therefore, the Mengdie now is no longer the role she once won the fight.

'Are you a mute?' Sky Shadow's face twisted into a scowl.

At the sound of Sky Shadow's voice, Mengdie paused. However, she didn't respond and continued moving towards him...

'Hah, you really are a mute.' With a sarcastic laugh, Sky Shadow suddenly pulled out two rapid-firing revolver guns from his sides. He had come prepared. He wasn't exactly terrified of Mengdie. These rapid-fire three-round revolvers were weapons specifically prepared for combating her in close combat.

Mengdie was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Sky Shadow to possess such equipment. She hesitated momentarily but soon resumed her march towards him.

Accompanied by two crisp sounds, the rapidly rotating barrels of the two revolvers suddenly stopped. Their muzzles were pointed in Mengdie's direction... No one had ever dared to ignore Sky Shadow. No one. He was determined to make this woman regret her actions.

'Die!' Bang, bang, bang, bang... the moment he spoke, two Alpha bullets were fired.

At the moment, Sky Shadow's aim was not Mengdie herself but her surrounding area. It was clear how severe the recoil of this weapon was. Even Sky Shadow, as a super soldier, was dealing with repeated aftershocks in his hand with continuous firing... Following the sharp noises and continuous vibrations, the 14 rounds from the two revolvers were all emptied in a short time of 2 seconds.

Sky Shadow executed a backwards sliding step and quickly created a safe distance. He swiftly reloaded another 14 rounds without even glancing at the revolvers. The professional reload speed took less than 2 seconds and immediately elicited cheers from the crowds. He then quickly re-targeted Mengdie and continued with his suppression fire.

Bang, bang, bang, bang...

High-octane rapid-fire brought the crowd's emotions to a new high. Sky Shadow's movements kept changing, sometimes crossing his arms for double suppression and sometimes spreading out his arms for directional block.

The power of this revolver was no joke. It was unlike conventional weapons. Despite having a similar caliber to a 7.62 mm bullet, its explosion power was comparable to a mini HE (High Explosive) grenade. Even as nimble as a swallow, Mengdie lost her balance a few times under the shock wave. Her hair was dancing in the wind...

Such a shockwave could barely be borne by Sky Shadow's physique. As for Mengdie, she was becoming increasingly disorganized in the wind. Primarily relying on swift evasion, it was clear that her physique did not match the strong appearance she projected. At this moment, Sky Shadow felt a glimmer of hope.

Presently, members of the audience had mixed reviews about Sky Shadow. It was an unfavorable act to use a weapon more potent than a cannon against a woman. Most of these criticisms came from male fans of Zana.

But Sky Shadow didn't want to take the blame for this. After all, didn't Mengdie use the K51 against him earlier?

With another shot followed by a resounding explosion, Mengdie's grey hair danced wildly in the wind as she stumbled staggeringly. It was enough to tug at the heartstrings of numerous male fans.

For a moment, Mengdie quickly formed two seals with her hands - the Immovable Ming King Seal and the high-rank Gale Seal. A thought flashed through her mind, and she gave up.

Seemingly, the problem facing Mengdie was that she had to be as fast as Sky Shadow's field of vision or even faster, in order to get close to him amidst the suppression. But Sky Shadow was not a pushover, his strength unfathomable. Even in single combat, he was only slightly weaker than Duolin. In such an encounter, though Sky Shadow might not be able to defeat Mengdie, he can swiftly follow her moves. If a revolver exploded within a 30-meter range, it could affect Mengdie.

Meanwhile, Sky Shadow was also looking for the best opportunity to strike. He didn't count solely on long-range shooting to win the battle, because ammunition was finite, and before it ran out, he would try every possible way to wear down Mengdie.

Feng Yi was spectating this from the sidelines. If this were to continue, neither would emerge victorious. But deep down, he wanted to shout out - "You can't treat a girl like that! After all, she chose to self-destruct when the stalemate could not be broken. That wasn't fair play!"

Now, Mengdie realized that continuing this standoff would not be beneficial for her. Therefore, she pulled back even faster than Sky Shadow to restore her strength. Distance was not only the key to attractiveness but also Mengdie's best bet at evading rapid-fire revolvers in advance.

With the sound of bang, bang, bang, bang... Sky Shadow continued to shoot. However, Mengdie was much faster than him. Sky Shadow wanted to keep Mengdie under pressure and give her no time to rest. Therefore, Sky Shadow put away his firearms and attempted to take on Mengdie in close combat.

'You seem quite confident about combat, would you like to have a go?' As he spoke, Sky Shadow sprang into action. He rushed towards Mengdie, his body almost level to the ground - a move that significantly reduced wind resistance.

Seeing this, Mengdie finally stopped dodging. She stood in the wind, her hair fluttering like white butterflies. Although she did not show any readiness for combat, her graceful figure was still a beautiful spectacle...

All of a sudden, a gust of wind descended from the sky. As Sky Shadow moved in to attack, a roar echoed out, tossing up a wave of sand that spread out into the distance...
