The plan had ultimately been disrupted. Otherwise, with 1,000 elite warriors engaged, he could have easily broken away to rush towards the main battlefield. Once morale is stirred up, it can't be reined back in. By that point, it would have been difficult for the enemy's super soldiers to turn around and join forces against him. He held great confidence in his bio-mechanical mecha's speed, especially now that it had just been upgraded to the Shadow Wing Form, which could split out two wing feathers from within at any moment. Although there was no significant increase in firepower, the speed had indeed become much faster. Moreover, the Shadow Wings were not simply for decorative defense—under the wings, the auxiliary propulsion devices would further enhance the speed like a force gaining momentum.

Since the plan had been disrupted, there was no need to stick to the original plan of heading to the main battlefield. Instead, he focused all his attention on confronting the enemy before him. Jiu Ling's strength had indeed improved leaps and bounds since their last encounter—it was a different story now. This so-called improvement was not merely a transition from Red Cloak Stage to White Robe Stage. It should be known that among the countless Red Cloaks, Jiu Ling was also top-tier. After ascending to the White Robe, her realm was certainly not as simple as that of an ordinary White Robe. If possible, Feng Yi would not let Jiu Ling escape.

Looking at Jiu Ling again, she was knocked flying with a single strike by the Revenge Shadow Rider. Jiu Ling had to admit that this guy was outrageously strong. But who was she, Jiu Ling, dubbed one of the first three of the early 12 stars? Was the humiliation of being defeated by the Revenge Shadow Rider time and again too much to bear? It was acceptable to lose once, twice, even more times than that, but everyone has their bottom line, doesn't they? One must not keep losing like this. That's not what it means to be among the first set of 12 stars; otherwise, she would indeed become a joke.

Jiu Ling never gave up lightly. With a roar, the Devil Angel burst forth with a second explosion of speed, her hand speed skyrocketing to 500 cards. Although Jiu Ling's hand speed was only a mere number of 500, it represented true operational speed. In fact, at such a level of combat, hand speed was no longer the most important aspect—the most crucial factors were momentum, skill, and a comprehensive insight into the overall situation. As long as your insight was stronger than your opponent's, even if their hand speed was faster, you could still predict their moves and land a decisive first strike.

At this moment, Jiu Ling's Light Sword had already thrust forward, too fast for people's eyes to catch—it was like a lingering shadow in the void!

Clang...

Revenge Shadow Rider raised his sword to parry. Feng Yi could feel the full pressure transmitted through the opponent's Light Sword. Unfortunately, the pressure was far from enough. A warrior needed not only anger but also an indomitable spirit and soul. No sooner had the attack made contact than it was effortlessly deflected by the Revenge Shadow Rider's casual sweep.

This time, the Devil Angel did not reel back from the reactive force; instead, Jiu Ling felt a lightness in front of her body, losing her balance as if guided by the force-dispersion principles of Tai Chi, her mecha stumbling forward unsteadily...

In a battlefield without friends, Feng Yi was not soft-hearted. He swung up the Black Blade Step, following up with a chopping motion at a very fast speed...

Jiu Ling had no time to turn and block, relying solely on a warrior's intuition without looking. She raised her hand and positioned the Light Sword behind her in an attempt to intercept.

But the Revenge Shadow Rider's follow-up was just a feint. Before the chop could make contact with her weapon, the Black Blade stopped abruptly mid-motion—or rather, changed direction. Within a blink, a snap echoed through the void, striking the target accurately with a whipping motion.

The Devil Angel lost her balance and was sent flying a second time...

On the other end of the Light Screen, people's eyes widened. Without comparison, it was not apparent, but Jiu Ling was completely outclassed in both strength and skill. She simply had no way to overcome the Revenge Shadow Rider. Today, it seemed she would take a fall. The Revenge Shadow Rider was not an opponent she could deal with at will—quite the opposite, in fact. There was no one in the world who could handle the Revenge Shadow Rider, not that Jiu Ling wasn't strong, but her opponent was far too powerful.

It could be said that the damage to the scanning device was also a contributing factor. After all, facing the Haier Brothers, she was able to fight barely without relying on the scanner. But the Revenge Shadow Rider was different. Using the same approach against him would be like playing with fire. But at the time, it was a forced move—she had no choice but to do so in order to urgently rescue Number 2.

As it turned out, suffering a disadvantage turned out to be an advantage, and saving others equated to saving oneself. At this moment, the resurrected Number 2 came back into the fight, and in the nick of time, he unexpectedly helped Jiu Ling to block the fatal strike. He didn't care much about Jiu Ling's life or death; their group inherently lacked cooperation. Yet, he couldn't stand the fact that he had been injured by the opponent—it was unbearable, unforgivable.

Xiuluo's eyes were bloodshot as he controlled Number 2, his hand speed suddenly exploding by 800 cards... Boom, the mecha shot upwards like a bullet, the Light Sword flaring as he continued to pressure the Revenge Shadow Rider with new attacks.

Regrettably, regardless of how aggressively Number 2 attacked, none of it affected the enemy who was beyond suppression. The Revenge Shadow Rider didn't even dodge but met the attack head-on with the Black Blade, hissing and clanging in rapid succession—Clang...

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the Light Sword was actually broken. As a result, instead of achieving any suppression, Number 2 was pursued by the Revenge Shadow Rider's punishing fist straight to the chest, followed by a chokehold and knee strike. Just as this happened, the combat-ready Jiu Ling had moved up to intercept, but what met her instead was Number 2, or rather, the Revenge Shadow Rider had, after a brief charge, suddenly launched Number 2 directly towards her.
