Chapter 1322: The Victory And Defeat

Tang Wulin appeared to be acting quite swiftly. The Indefinite Blue Emperor thrust the Blue Emperor Spear forth in a barrage of blows. He was attacking the enemy’s vitals to get him to lower his guard, trying to land a direct hit on the opponent’s cockpit.

He moved in a great flurry. A layer of golden scales covered the surface of the Blue Emperor Spear, bursting with a powerful aura.

Now, the audiences would bear witness as to who was truly the faster of the two.

Huang Zhengyang’s lips cracked into a smile as he sat inside the pilot’s cabin.

Was the opponent attempting to risk himself to land the critical hit? He had experienced battles just like this at least ninety times, if not one hundred. He retracted the Despair Scythe. As the scythe snapped shut, its tip caught the end of the Blue Emperor Spear at a crucial moment. At the same time, Despair Reaper turned its body ever so slightly so that the center of its chest dodged the blow just in time. Even though the tip of the Blue Emperor Spear still managed to pierce the Despair Reaper’s shoulder, it had only gone in less than one foot deep as it had been deviated from the pilot’s cabin.

The Despair Scythe was pulled downward to grip the Blue Emperor Spear, while Reaper Scythe had arrived at the Indefinite Blue Emperor’s waist.

The mirror-like effect appeared on the Indefinite Blue Emperor’s surface area once again. Its body shimmered rapidly, but the Reaper Scythe still managed to cut into itself.

“Clang!”

Had it ended?

Every spectator at the arena held their breath at this very moment. There were even some people that were already too scared to watch anymore.

On the other hand, the surface of the Indefinite Blue Emperor that was cut by Reaper Scythe was shimmering with a glittering radiance. The Blue Emperor Spear glowed brightly all of a sudden. The spear tip that had been locked down by the Despair Scythe suddenly thrust forward. A crisp ‘clang’ was heard from the Despair Scythe that locked down the spear as the scythe’s blade was snapped forcefully. The Blue Emperor Spear stabbed into Despair Reaper’s shoulder brazenly and completely penetrated the mecha in a split second.

At the same time, thousands of blue-gold vines surged out from the Indefinite Blue Emperor’s body and wrapped around the Despair Reaper instantly, wrapping it tightly. The Blue Emperor vines lifted the mecha into the air before slamming it onto the ground ferociously.

The change happened so quickly that some of the audience had not even managed to figure out who truly had the upper hand.

Meanwhile, on the platform, Dai Yueyan had stood up at once as he had become quite .

The next moment after the Despair Reaper was smashed onto the ground, Blue Emperor had already completed a cycle. The spear was retracted before it was pierced forward at lightning speed into the pilot’s cabin. There was no doubt that the spear shimmering with dazzling radiance could penetrate into the pilot’s cabin and ended Huang Zhengyang’s life if he wanted to.

There was a total of one hundred thousand people on the scene yet it was as silent as the grave.

Dai Tianling widened his eyes as he could not believe that this was the reality at all. The first round of Battle of Five Gods, mecha battle, Huang Zhengyang was defeated surprisingly despite having the upper hand?

“The winner of Battle of Five Gods, first round, mecha battle is Tang Sect’s Sect Master.” The host announced the result of the battle with a script that sounded obviously choppy. It was apparent that his script now was quite different from the script that he had prepared earlier.

He was prepared to congratulate the victory for the pillar of the empire in his original dialogue while simultaneously consoling Tang Sect’s Sect Master for his performance in the exciting battle!

How, how did the situation change so swiftly?

Blue Emperor Spear was retracted while the Blue Emperor vines were pulled back like a swarm of bees. Indefinite Blue Emperor stood under the illumination of sunlight over there. A dash of peculiar radiance was added to its dark blue mecha indistinctly.

Despair Reaper got up from the ground. Its pilot’s cabin opened up and revealed Huang Zhengyang dressed in a set of military uniform with major general ranks pinned to his shoulders.

Huang Zhengyang appeared rather pale at present. As the loser, he took the lead to jump down from the pilot’s cabin of his mecha.

At the same time, his gaze landed upon Indefinite Blue Emperor’s waist first.

It was over there. He could see the wound. It remained about half a foot in depth and not that different from the first time he saw it.

His heart was filled with puzzlement. Why? How could the same attack that landed on the same spot not creating any harm?

Indefinite Blue Emperor’s pilot cabin opened up too soon after. Tang Wulin dressed in white jumped down to the ground from the inside similarly. A thin layer of sweat formed on his forehead. The mecha battle against Huang Zhengyang was mentally taxing for him. The exhaustion of his state of mind had far exceeded the exhaustion of his body.

He leapt out from the pilot’s cabin and landed on the ground. Tang Wulin walked forward and offered his right hand toward Huang Zhengyang.

Huang Zhengyang had a medium stature and his appearance was not that outstanding either. He looked just like an ordinary middle-aged man and it could even be very difficult to look for him if he was placed in crowd.

Yet, this soldier that was not especially outstanding in appearance that was precisely the divine mecha master with the moniker of ‘pillar of the empire’.

Tang Wulin exuded heartfelt admiration for this person through his gaze. “General Huang, I’m indebted to your kind yield.”

Huang Zhengyang stretched out his hand to shake Tang Wulin’s. He spoke with a bitter smile, “there’s nothing much for me to yield actually. I’ve lost. I’ve experienced mecha battles of all scales for thousands of times. I’ve won and I’ve been defeated but today’s battle is truly an eye-opening opportunity. Moreover, I don’t even know how did I lose.”

Tang Wulin spoke with a smile, “in reality, you haven’t lost to me at all. There’s still a huge disparity between my mecha operating skills to yours. I’ve won mainly on my mecha itself in addition to your lack of understanding in my abilities. Look.”

As he was speaking, Tang Wulin raised his hand and pointed to his Indefinite Blue Emperor.

Huang Zhengyang raised his head and looked in the direction of his pointing finger. Tang Wulin was precisely pointing at the wound cut out by the Reaper Scythe on Indefinite Blue Emperor’s waist.

Huang Zhengyang watched in astonishment as the gaping wound was healing slowly in a manner that was visible to the naked eyes.

“Is that… soul-forged metal?” He looked at Tang Wulin in bewilderment. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Tang Wulin nodded slightly. He spoke sincerely, “yes, my Indefinite Blue Emperor is made with soul-forged metal all over its body. Thus, its ability to resist attack and self-healing are not found in other ordinary black mechas. That is why I can perform some strange operating skills. Moreover, I can also utilize your attacking force and convert it into my attack after withstanding that soul skill of yours earlier. As a result, I’ve managed to have the upper hand twice in succession. Otherwise, even my soul-forged metal is incapable of withstanding your attacks. You would have already won since earlier. Hence, it’s truly a little unfair to you in reality.”

Huang Zhengyang’s lips twitched once. He muttered to himself, “that’s very of you huh!”

What was a soul-forged metal? It was a metal that could be used to make three-word battle armor! It was simply an act of reckless waste of god’s gifts by using so much soul-forged metal to make a black mecha. Even Huang Zhengyang’s red divine mecha was not fully made of soul-forged metals but he had only used soul-forged metal on the vital joints and on the core circuit.

No wonder, no wonder he had lost in just thorough manner. Was Tang Wulin’s mecha still considered a black mecha?

Such a black mecha that was completely made of soul-forged metal, then, if these soul-forged metals were used to make battle armor, it would not be an issue for one to make a few dozens sets at the very least! That was very wasteful!

At the same time Huang Zhengyang was feeling frustrated, he could not help feeling a little envious for only Tang Sect could do such a grand gesture with its wealthy background, such that Tang Wulin was permitted to use so much soul-forged metals.

He was unaware that the person standing before himself at present was a Saint Craftsman beyond his time.

The act of forcing soul-forged metal was already not a difficult matter for Tang Wulin. He was always endeavoring to do better in using multiple spirit alloys in soul forging.

How did Yuanen Yehui managed to rely on her own effort to stop two great powerhouses Dai Yueyan and Hua Lantang? Other than her powerful fighting capacity, her set of three-word battle armor was the crucial part.

It was made of spirit alloy soul-forged metal. Moreover, it was forged from the combination of over five types spirit alloys. Could one compare a set of three-word battle armor that was made from that to an ordinary three-word battle armor?

Huang Zhengyang heaved a sigh and spoke, “I didn’t lose in an injustice manner. There’s nothing unfair about this. The Battle of Five Gods is not supposed to be fair for you anyhow. You’ve won so put in more effort for the following rounds. I look forward to the day you become a divine mecha master so I can have a spar against you with my current mecha. I’m going to return and study about your combat method for a bit. You’re much better than I am in combining your ability to the mecha. Moreover, your ability is powerful and you’re much better than I am in this. If I’m not mistaken, I think that you’re a twin martial soul right?”
