253: Mecha

Gu Fengyang looked at the dozen or so helicopters and gestured to Qi Huaiyi, whispering, "Your two teams will be responsible for those aircraft in a moment!"

Qi Huaiyi and Wang Zhen nodded. Gu Fengyang immediately funneled Xuan Power into the Formation core, and the Formation was instantly activated!

A burst of light suddenly rose from the wilderness, illuminating a large surrounding area as bright as day in an instant. The people from Blood Wolf Hall were stunned, standing frozen on the spot... Feng Lifeng reacted quickly, roaring, "Ambush! Return immediately!!!"

These people suddenly snapped out of it and hurriedly turned to flee, wanting to escape back to the helicopters, but they soon became lost within the Formation. No matter how they ran, they could not escape its range. Furthermore, from time to time, someone would suffer a mysterious attack, and the screams of agony filled the Evil Cultists with terror... Beneath his mask, Feng Lifeng's expression was incredibly grim, but he did not panic. Instead, he spoke out, "Come out! Since you dared to set an ambush, then come out and fight! Don't think this Formation can trap me!"

"Haha! Refreshing! Truly refreshing!!!" Gu Fengyang, Yu Feiyu, and Bai Song laughed as they revealed themselves.

"It's the three of you? Doesn't the Southern Division still have one more Vajra?" Feng Lifeng said coldly.

"Oh? Who exactly are you? To think you are so familiar with our Southern Division?" Gu Fengyang asked in surprise.

"Gu Fengyang, you led a team here to set an ambush, yet you don't know who I am? How preposterous?!" Feng Lifeng thought Gu Fengyang was mocking him and couldn't help but roar in anger.

Gu Fengyang was slightly startled; he truly did not know who the other party was. The information hadn't mentioned it, and who could recognize someone completely covered in armor?

He snorted, "I don't need to know who you are, but your actions are all within the grasp of our Southern Division. Today, I'll make sure you never return!"

Feng Lifeng frowned and snorted, "It seems I underestimated the Southern Division! However, do you think this is enough to deal with us? Let me tell you, even if all four Vajras of the Southern Division came, I could still come and go as I please!"

"Arrogant! I, Gu Fengyang, alone am enough to deal with you! Your end has come!" Gu Fengyang roared, raising the Mo Dao in his hand high and pointing it at his opponent.

Hearing this, Feng Lifeng sneered, "Fool! My power is beyond your imagination!"

As he spoke, his entire suit of armor suddenly emitted a faint light, and jets seemed to spray from beneath his feet, causing him to actually float up!

Gu Fengyang watched this scene in shock, momentarily stunned!

Because this method of movement was not common. For Innate Xuan Practitioners, wanting to fly was actually a luxury. Although after entering the Innate stage, the Profound Qi within the body is extremely abundant and can be discharged, without powerful Divine Soul strength, it is impossible to continuously guide the Profound Qi out to control objects. That is to say, it is impossible to fly on a sword like a Cultivator, let alone hover in the air relying solely on one's own Profound Qi.

It was a recognized fact among Xuan Practitioners that only high-level Mind Power Masters possessed the powerful Divine Soul strength required to manipulate Profound Qi and objects, allowing them to truly fly on swords. This was the power of a high-level Mind Power Master!

However, even in the Early Stage of being a Mind Power Master, it is difficult to possess this ability; one can only achieve brief Object Manipulation. Only by Cultivating to the level of a high-level Mind Power Master, which is the Soul Warrior stage among Cultivators, can one fly by manipulating objects like a Cultivator.

But at this moment, Feng Lifeng completely broke this Xuan Practitioner limitation. He transformed into an armored man, crouched slightly in mid-air, and then kicked off violently. With his head forward and feet back, he struck out with both fists, charging rapidly toward Gu Fengyang... Although Gu Fengyang was somewhat shocked, he did not show any weakness. Regardless of where the opponent came from, he would slay them with a single blade strike—this was his belief in the Xuan Dao!

Raising both hands, he held a High Grade Profound Weapon Mo Dao high. With his entire body's Profound Qi pushed to the Peak, he also charged forward rapidly, swinging his blade fiercely!

A blade glow erupted from the front of the Mo Dao, a full ten feet long. This ten-foot blade glow was a fiery red color, heating the air until it was scorching. With a 'whoosh', the blade glow detached from the weapon and slashed toward the armored man!

The armored man thrust his fists forward, and two beams of blue light suddenly shot out, each nearly ten feet long. The blue light also detached from his body and instantly collided with the red glow, booming repeatedly... A figure flipped and flew out—it was Gu Fengyang! He landed on the distant ground, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, which was a vivid and shocking sight... The immense force generated by the collision between the two sides was terrifying, shaking the entire Formation violently and even producing a series of tearing sounds. This showed that the force of the collision just now had already exceeded the standard of a Late Stage Martial General, causing significant damage to the Formation.

Feng Lifeng, on the other hand, was unharmed. His charging momentum was slightly hindered, but he quickly regained it and rushed toward the thrown-back Gu Fengyang at extreme speed, wanting to achieve victory in one stroke!

"How dare you!!!" Seeing this, Yu Feiyu and Bai Song did not dare to delay. With a roar, they both rushed forward to meet him.

The combined strike of the two barely blocked Feng Lifeng's attack, but an even greater energy explosion occurred between them. Tearing sounds rang out wildly—'crack, crack, crack'—and the Formation swayed, appearing as if it might collapse at any moment!

Gu Fengyang endured the sharp pain and stood up again. His Mo Dao had flown off to who knows where. At this moment, he could only grit his teeth and join the fray, the three of them fighting the armored man together... "Heavens!"

"What kind of monster is this?!"

"The armor is so heavy, how can he fly?"

"Not only can he fly, but he's also very agile, and his strength is enormous!"

"This is getting a bit troublesome..."

Everyone could not help but cry out in alarm at this sight. No one had expected the opponent to burst forth with such terrifying combat power. According to their original estimates, with three Chief Captains like Gu Fengyang overseeing the situation, capturing this group of Evil Cultists should have been effortless. Who would have thought that now, a single opponent was suppressing the three of them? What was going on?

"Don't worry about us! You guys capture the others first!" Gu Fengyang's face was covered in blood, but he gritted his teeth and roared.

He admitted he had underestimated the opponent. In the fight just now, he had indeed held back, and the result of underestimating the enemy was that he was now in a passive position!

By now, his Mo Dao had been knocked away. Facing this opponent encased in strange armor, his only thought was to combine the strength of the three of them to restrain him. No matter what, they could not let this monster escape... "Hahahaha... A bunch of ignorant lapdogs, actually daring to move against our Blood Wolf Hall! Today, I'll let you taste the power of the Mecha!" Feng Lifeng laughed wildly toward the sky, seemingly extremely proud.

"Mecha? So this thing isn't armor, it's called a Mecha..." Gu Fengyang and the other two realized upon hearing this.

But they all had absolutely no concept of what this thing was. However, the collision just now had made them deeply realize the terror of the Mecha, because the power it displayed had already far exceeded the standard of a Martial General; it should at least reach the Early Stage of a Martial Commander!
