Jiu Ling truly lived up to her reputation, instantly repelling Angelina and retreating. She was deservedly part of the top trio in the early Star Generals' lineup. However, the world was not lacking in tough fighters; on the contrary, there were countless of them, and among the top warriors that epitomized this fighting style was Revenge Shadow Rider, whose burst power was acknowledged as the world's best.

Of course, besides Jiu Ling, there was another tough fighter among those present, Hugo, from the God's Thorn Legion. Even though Hugo was just a Red Cloak and older in age, lacking any particular aptitude or potential value, one might wonder why such a person could attain the rank of Red Cloak at all. Was it merely battlefield experience? If just relying on battlefield experience could take one so far, the Federation would have been destroyed long ago.

Because Hugo was a soldier, an iron-willed soldier with absolute execution power, an old warhorse on the battlefield who would give everything for his orders. If you had never crossed swords with such a soldier, you would never understand the terror of a fighter who battles with his life on the line, ready to devote everything to his beliefs.

As Hugo rode the Devil Angel, the moment Jiu Ling struck Angelina and repulsed her, Hugo had already risen against the wind. God's Thorn's sword burst forth with a second stage of acceleration, becoming a lightning in the void, and he delivered three consecutive slashes.

At the first strike, Jiu Ling thought she could easily parry, but she found herself reeling backward... At the second strike, Jiu Ling continued to parry, and still staggered back even more. By the third strike, even the Devil Angel was sent flying by God's Thorn's sword...

God's Thorn's sword, like a humanoid tank in its relentless charge, successively delivered brutal impacts, immediately sending the Devil Angel flying far away. The event unfolded in the blink of an eye; no one, neither the opposition nor our own forces, had time to react.

Jiu Ling's pretty face nearly slammed onto the console. This proved that the gap between Red Cloaks and White Cloaks was not unbridgeable and that talent was not absolutely definitive. Seeing this, the Federation Square erupted in cheers... Cool, what's Jiu Ling anyway? It seems her strength has been greatly exaggerated.

But Hugo did not think so in his heart. God's Thorn's sword had the ability to burst with a second stage of acceleration. If Jiu Ling's repelling of Angelina was unexpected, this strike was met with Jiu Ling's timely reaction, which showed she was quick to respond. Just, she hadn't expected God's Thorn's sword power system to be so outstanding. In other words, if Jiu Ling had known of the Mecha's characteristics and prepared in advance, it would have been difficult to harm her.

As Jiu Ling was sent flying, Xiuluo and Black Blade simultaneously attacked Hugo. Black Blade's mecha was Wraith No. 1, and Xiuluo's Mecha was Wraith No. 2, the temporary designations Kexiao currently assigned to them.

Hugo finished his attack and, before he could fully regain his stance, the two from the opposite side had already launched their assault, grinding his teeth to control his Mecha and force an evasion...

Unfortunately, it was already too late. Both Black Blade and Xiuluo were White Cloak realm, and how could two Empire soldiers bully a single Federation soldier? (As for why Black Blade was in the White Cloak realm, naturally, that had been widespread since the last battle between Icebird and Revenge Shadow Rider.)

The attack from above and below was a coordinated strike; Hugo could only choose one direction to break through. There wasn't time to think, and he instinctively raised his right hand wielding the sword to block...

Ssshh! God's Thorn's sword's belly was immediately split open by Xiuluo, and in the nick of time, the Gemini of Destiny rushed to face the challenge. Tian Shen, wielding a horizontal blade, went to slash Xiuluo across the waist, while Earth Dragon also struck from an angle Xiuluo couldn't predict.

No matter how strong Xiuluo was, he could not fend off both Younger Haier and Earth Dragon at once and was immediately suppressed... Little did anyone know that the coordinated attack was a feint; Younger Haier and Wraith No. 2 brushed past each other without slowing down, heading straight for Xia Mu...

Unfortunately, Xiuluo and Xia Mu were once comrades-in-arms, tested through numerous battles, but now Xiuluo was just a half-mechanical being without emotions, who wouldn't support Xia Mu. Despite being half-mechanical, Xiuluo still felt a vague unease or, perhaps, a surge of foreboding, as he watched the spatial fluctuation values continuously vary on the Mecha dashboard, realizing something…

At that moment, Xia Mu too violently shook his head, his consciousness just having recovered from Angelina's psychic assault, dazedly preparing to charge forward when suddenly he was grabbed by a single arm of the Devil Angel and flung far away...

And where he had been standing on the ground first went 'pop'... In an instant, a 50-meter radius was evaporated by Earth Dragon's million-gravity dryer, Earth Dragon's SE weapon. Aside from Earth Dragon itself, the surrounding thorns and wild grass turned to ash in the blink of an eye...

Xia Mu had contemplated death, but he didn't want to die in such a stifling way. Already with nerves frayed, his heart surged with a sudden anger from the shock. "Jiu Ling, you saved my life."

"Now is not the time to be distracted. You go help No. 3; I'll take him on," said Jiu Ling, as she directed her Mecha straight toward Younger Haier. In her calculations, if she faced him alone, she could destroy him in an instant of full power.

Ha, since when did they start giving orders? After all, Xia Mu owed Jiu Ling his life, so he followed her command. With that thought, Xia Mu also flew toward No. 3, or more precisely, toward Angelina and Dovir...

Clearly, the two super-soldiers of the Federation intended to leave behind our army's sniper. Since their combat ability was not standout among these few, pursuing No. 3 was also a good choice.
