Chapter 1319: Despair Scythe

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The transformation happened so swiftly that Tang Wulin hardly had time to react to the situation.

However, Tang Wulin discovered at this very moment that the opponent’s scythe capitalized on his strength to transform accordingly.

It was powerful indeed. It was Tang Wulin’s first encounter with an opponent who had such superb operating skills. His opponent executed a move by vibrating the metal chain which involved dexterity. Tang Wulin felt the pricking sensation of pins and needles on his scalp thinking about this.

However, those with discerning eyes could tell that the Despair Scythe rebounded when it was stabbed by Tang Wulin’s Blue Emperor Spear. The metal chain shook once abruptly to fling the blade toward the side. The blade rebounded from the collision with the sparkle that was unleashed earlier. It ended behind the Indefinite Blue Emperor. The second sparkle had just landed on the scythe’s blade. It retracted to hook onto the back of Tang Wulin’s Indefinite Blue Emperor.

Not only did it cut into Tang Wulin’s back but it also carried an immense pulling force to pull the Indefinite Blue Emperor toward the Despair Reaper.

The strength of the force was tremendously powerful. On both sides of the Despair Reaper’s broad back, eight honeycomb-like propellers were illuminated. A formidable soul power fluctuation burst forth abruptly with an exceedingly terrifying force following the mobilization of the core circuit.

The Despair Reaper’s body underwent some transformation at the same time it was pulling forward. Thick and heavy plates suddenly stood erect on its back, chest, and shoulders to form an array of sharp blades which pointed outward. It began to spin on the spot at high speed.

Each sharp blade was humming loudly from the high-frequency oscillation with its surface shimmering with a radiance.

If the Indefinite Blue Emperor which was being forcefully pulled toward the Despair Reaper came into contact with the sharp blades spinning at high speeds, the Indefinite Blue Emperor would be slashed profusely.

Was he using his body as a weapon with the scythe a reinforcement?

The group from Shrek Academy and the Blood Dragon Unit was utterly astonished upon witnessing the scene. It was extremely rare to see such battle tactics on the Douluo Federation.

The battle had only commenced for ten seconds. Such an exciting scene was already in progress. The audience was watching the match in awe.

The Despair Reaper’s attack appeared to be simple, but it involved a lot of maneuvers. The pilot’s battle skills were the acme of perfection.

Tang Wulin was also a mecha battle’s champion during the Federal Star Dou Battle Network Challenge. He had vast experience in mecha battles too, but the opponent’s mecha skills were far more ingenious. Each seemingly simple action comprised of endless moves. Each and every move was executed with such perfection to achieve his final objective.

It was no superficial trick for Tang Wulin to be rendered passive.

The pulling force was extremely strong such that the Indefinite Blue Emperor almost collided with the Despair Reaper’s Death Spintop akin to a young swallow falling into its mother’s arms.

The Death Spintop was one of Huang Zhengyang’s techniques which brought him fame at an early age. The most terrifying part about the Death Spintop’s attack was that it was inescapable. Somehow, his opponent would always end up being hooked by his scythe and subsequently sent to his Death Spintop. This maneuver alone had put all his opponents in despair. That was how the Despair Scythe came to be known.

Could the mecha that belonged to the Tang Sect’s Sect Master which appeared rather stunning suffer the same fate?

In a short while, the end was near. Let alone the audience, even Tang Wulin did not see the attacking move. By the time he caught on, his Indefinite Blue Emperor was already being pulled toward the Death Spintop.

Fortunately, Tang Wulin’s super fast reflex responded in time.

Based on the observation of his opponent earlier, Tang Wulin suspected that his opponent’s mecha operating skills surpassed his. Even Ling Wuyue could not rival Huang Zhengyang, so Huang Zhengyang truly deserved to be the representative of the Star Luo Empire to fight in the Battle of Five Gods.

However, a mecha battle was more than just having superb operating skills alone. There were many details that required the mecha master’s attention. For this reason, almost all-powerful mecha masters were powerful soul masters too.

“Roar.” A valiant dragon’s roar was heard at the moment. A gigantic golden dragon’s head appeared abruptly on the Indefinite Blue Emperor’s chest which gave out a shocking dragon’s roar.

The Death Spintop stopped spinning for a moment. The Blue Emperor Spear in Tang Wulin’s hand had already pointed forward.

The Indefinite Blue Emperor vibrated its right arm and conjured shadowy spears that filled the whole sky. It did not attempt to struggle free from the scythe on its back but chose to resist it by force.

“Clang clang clang…” A series of dense collision sounds was heard.

The Blue Emperor Spear stabbed the Death Spintop viciously such that it was halted momentarily. However, a sudden force pulled the Indefinite Blue Emperor sideways changing the direction of its attack. Half of the spear tips missed their target. A serrated hook extended from the Despair Scythe’s tip cut into the Indefinite Blue Emperor’s back. As the Indefinite Blue Emperor attempted to puncture the Death Spintop, the Despair Scythe’s hook pulled at it to change its attacking angle.

Meanwhile, the sharp blades on the Despair Reaper were spinning even more violently. The Despair Reaper slid and collided into the side of the Indefinite Blue Emperor.

The Indefinite Blue Emperor lost its balance. Tang Wulin watched helplessly as there was no way he could evade the collision. Instead, he used his right foot to stamp against the ground. A loud boom was heard and the entire coliseum shook once. Using the resulting powerful reactive force, the Indefinite Blue Emperor surged upward into the sky just in time to dodge the Despair Reaper’s strike.

Inside the mecha, an exasperated Huang Zhengyang shouted, “Come down!”

In a feverish attempt, the Despair Scythe pulled down the Indefinite Blue Emperor causing it to lose its balance in the air.

The attack only needed to slam the Indefinite Blue Emperor against the ground. By then, the Indefinite Blue Emperor would not stand a chance to launch its soul skill no matter how powerful it was.

It managed to pull down the Indefinite Blue Emperor which had lost its balance. It would not be able to fly even if it were to rely on its jet-burners at the moment. However, Huang Zhengyang sensed something was off the moment the Indefinite Blue Emperor landed.

The Indefinite Blue Emperor’s leap was stupendous. That was how it narrowly escaped the Despair Reaper’s attack. Such a ferocious leap would require quite a force to pull it down.

The Indefinite Blue Emperor was like a deflected lightning at present. It fell faster than when it surged into the sky.

Huang Zhengyang’s actual combat experience allowed him to make an accurate judgement immediately. The jet-burners on the Despair Reaper suddenly pushed it to the side. At the same time, its arm vibrated removing itself from the Indefinite Blue Emperor’s body.

The Despair Scythe was a double-edged knife. Although it was capable of controlling the opponent when its blade was in contact with the opponent’s mecha, it could also be harmed if the opponent was powerful enough. It would definitely be troublesome for Huang Zhengyang if the latter situation were to happen.

Huang Zhengyang chose to immediately withdraw from exercising control as soon as he sensed something was off with the falling speed of the Indefinite Blue Emperor. Hence, he retreated quickly.

The experience gained from countless battles revealed that he could not afford to make the slightest mistake during a mecha battle. A careless mistake or a rash attack could result in a loss.

Huang Zhengyang had absolute confidence in himself. Thus, he was not in a rush, as he was not planning on giving Tang Wulin the slightest opportunity to turn the tide.

Just as he retreated at full speed, the Indefinite Blue Emperor crashed to the ground akin to a falling meteor.

“Boom.”

“Roar.”

A deep boom and a high-pitch dragon’s roar blended to give a peculiar clamor. Eight giant golden dragons bored out from the ground, and began circling the surroundings.
