Chapter 428: The Perfect Kill

Seven unknown lifeforms formed a straight line, like a snake, as they continued circling around the starship. Compared to these agile little creatures, the starship was like a slow and dumb old cow.

All seven creatures were clearly displayed on Han Jia's holographic screen. What agility! Ye Chong was quietly surprised. These unknown lifeforms were flying about smoothly in space with astonishing grace. Ye Chong believed that even the best mechs could not achieve this level of agility.

It was unfortunate that he was a bad shot. If they had a sharpshooter like Mu or Shang right now, they would only need seven shots to end the battle. As a close range mech, Han Jia's attack range was much smaller. The only thing that Ye Chong could only rely on was Han Jia's speed.

Han Jia could go up to a jaw-dropping Mach 20!

Aside that, he had Feng Su behind him. While he did not know how well Feng Su could fight with a Phoenix class mech, her strength when using Wings of Nirvana long ago had left a deep impression in him. Ye Chong would never doubt the power of advanced level mechs from the Three Aristocratic Families. Of course, the likelihood of someone as useless as Ye Luo having a mech as powerful as Moon King was just about nil.

Ye Chong and Feng Su did not exchange a word, but Ye Chong believed that Feng Su would know what to do. This was the power of coordination between experts!

Ye Chong's hands flew across Han Jia's controls in a blur.

Han Jia accelerated abruptly!

No matter the time and location, speed could always make one's blood boil in excitement.

While the crew members of Darvill were not combatants, almost everyone in modern society would know a thing or two about mechs.

"Wow!" The surprised gasps lightened the mood in the starship. The holographic screen was like an eye magnet, demanding the attention of everyone onboard the ship. Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at the holographic screen, astounded, including Ye Pang. At the beginning, the starship's holographic scanning system could not pick up the two mechs. It was only when they switched to optical mode that they were able to see the two mechs on the holographic screen. The impressive anti scanning abilities of the two mechs inspired hope from the crew members in them.

The Phoenix class mech had not done anything just yet, but the mysterious and beautiful mech was also making everyone feel excited.

Mach 20! After Lian Yue's modifications and the use of teardrop mineralite, Han Jia could now reach stunning velocities!

Han Jia's speed also left Feng Su with feelings of fear and awe. She had never seen a mech at such terrifying speed! Han Jia's abrupt acceleration also disrupted her rhythm. However, she was a weathered combatant, a true veteran, and she immediately adjusted herself. All her hidden shooting chambers were activated.

The holographic screen's combat locking system was initiated. To ensure perfect accuracy, she did not lock on to all the targets, but chose to focus on only two of them. She had never seen these creatures before, and had no idea of their defense systems.

She did not fire yet, but waited calmly for the right timing.

At Mach 20, 20 kilometers were covered in a breeze.

Back on the starship, everyone watched the holographic screen attentively. Mach 20 would put a very huge pressure on the human body. Piloting the mech would also be much more difficult. At this speed, there would not be much time for the mech pilot to think before acting.

Ye Chong fixed his gaze at the unknown lifeforms. As they grew larger and larger on the holographic screen, he maintained his calm. Unlike other mech pilots, he had been to Archipelago before, and had encountered all sorts of weird creatures. He was not troubled by the fact that his targets were still unknown to them.

At Mach 20, he did not have time to even consider these things. He was exceptionally focused right now, his hands resting slightly on the controls, ready to move.

The unknown lifeforms were very sensitive. The feelers on their foreheads twitched. They were about to get away! Han Jia's astonishing speed had made them nervous.

Just when they were about to leave, dozens of purple colored laser beams shot across the dark sky of outer space!

These dozens of laser beams directly hit two of those creatures! None of the lasers missed. The two creatures were full of holes in an instant.

All the crew members watching the holographic screen on the starship cheered jubilantly!

The sudden attack made the nervous unknown lifeforms go into full blown panic!

The momentary pause in their motions just as they were about to leave was key. They were now in a mess, but still close to each other.

The two dozen tentacles on Han Jia's wings were released abruptly. Han Jia's hands were now holding two daggers.

Han Jia charged into the panicking creatures like a shooting rainbow!

Inside the pilot cabin, Ye Chong's eyes widened, and his hands began to fly across the controls!

Ye Chong did not know how fast his hands were moving right then, but he knew that he was giving all he got. This was because he knew that, at Mach 20, he would fly past the creatures in an instant, in less than a hundredth of a second, and he would need to attack them in this short time frame.

Is this the limit of the human body?

He did not know about that, but he did know that this was a golden opportunity!

The arching tentacles shot out like a snake uncurling itself, straight towards it victims! The greyish daggers were hard to see in the darkness of outer space, and only Ye Chong in his mech could see its dim glimmer briefly pass through his vision.

Two unknown lifeforms were thoroughly destroyed by the tentacles. At Mach 20, even a tiny rock could be devastating, much less with these strong tentacles!

Han Jia flew right into one of the creatures.

It's a homerun! The creature was sliced open like it just flew into the sharp edge of a knife, its body split into two as black colored blood oozed out of its remains. Its two body parts flew rapidly outwards. Ye Chong's eyes were burning with a desire to fight. He had waited for this moment. At the instant he flew into the creature, his hands began to move again.

Under the disbelieving gazes of everyone on the ship, the mysterious and beautiful mech made a very slight course adjustment! It was like a beam of light reflecting off a mirror at a very small angle.

This abrupt directional shift was packed with much more power than Ye Chong had anticipated at Mach 2. The momentum change was enough to make someone as strong as Ye Chong felt instant dizziness and nausea.

The course correction was so small that it was almost impossible to notice.

To Ye Chong, however, it was enough.

Ye Chong held back his discomfort and activated his final attack command that was set up earlier.

One of the tentacles reached out and tore through one of the unknown lifeforms, its sharp tip ripping a straight tear through the soft body of the unknown lifeform at Mach 20. By the time the black colored blood and intestines began to pour out, Han Jia was already far away.

Han Jia was like an unhindered arrow, shooting past the weak formation of the unknown lifeforms. In that short instant, it had achieved its most important objective.

It had killed four of the creatures. The one creature that Han Jia flew into was in fact already cut into two by its dagger.

The destructive power of both Ye Chong and Han Jia were fully demonstrated in this extremely short moment!

For the last part of the battle, Ye Chong believed that Feng Su would be able to deliver flawlessly. Feng Su's first shots had been perfectly timed, and even the most critical mech pilot would be satisfied with them. It was her perfect shots that allowed Ye Chong to achieve his glorious body count. Xi Feng Tribe's mech pilots had always been known for their excellent timing.

Ye Chong tried to regulate his own body as Han Jia slowed down. The dizziness had put him into a very vulnerable position.

Mach 20 was truly very stressful for the body! Ye Chong laughed ironically inside. If this was a fight against another mech, his situation would have been very dangerous.

Right now, Han Jia was like a comet that was flying out of control, drifting off into space along its inertial trajectory.

Ye Chong was right. The last unknown lifeform was swiftly dealt with by Feng Su. She had even taken another shot at the creature which Ye Chong had torn open its abdomen, just to be safe.

Ye Chong finally gathered himself and flew Han Jia slowly back to the starship.

When Ye Chong and Feng Su were back on Darvill, they were welcomed warmly like heroes.

Everyone looked at them with eyes filled with the fire of hope. In this age, a strong mech pilot could easily win the admiration of others. Everyone was still basking in the afterglow of the glorious and perfect victory. Ye Family's people had a higher standard, of course, but they still thought that the battle just now was just extraordinary.

Feng Su's perfect timing, Ye Chong's brute strength and Han Jia's Mach 20 speed had become an unforgettable memory for each of them.

This battle had greatly raised the morale of everyone onboard the ship.

However, Ye Chong was unmoved by the looks of admiration shot at him throughout. He was now focused on the bodies of the two unknown lifeforms that they had carried onboard.
