When the golden-haired young man heard the warning, he was stunned. At the same time, two light beams were shot towards him from his back.

The young man’s expression changed. He moved his fingers over the control panel and the mecha did a Light-and-Shadow Skim. One of the beams flew pa.s.sed the mecha.

The s.h.i.+eld of the mecha dimmed. It seemed as though the mecha managed to dodge the attack but it was. .h.i.t instead.

The golden-haired young man felt his stomach churning. Blood rushed up to his mouth. He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He felt fortunate that the beam didn’t hit him directly but only scratched his mecha. If not, his injury might have been worse.

The captain heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that His Highness had evaded the attack. At the same time, he was furious. He immediately gave an order. “Ji Lu, Rui En, find and kill the person who ambushed His Highness.”

When the other party attacked, they exposed their location.

Two mechas who were shooting Qi Long, Zhao Jun, and Li Yingjie instantly change their targets and started aiming at the two mechas who attacked His Highness.

Two beams shot towards two huge ruins floating around s.p.a.ce. If they wanted to aim their opponents, they needed to clear the ruins around them first.

The ruins exploded into small pieces. The two mechas dodged among the ruins in the universe.

There was one ace mecha and one special-cla.s.s mecha.

“This is not right. Shouldn’t there be two ace mechas? Where is the other ace mecha?” The captain looked at the special-cla.s.s mecha in disbelief. He expected there to be two ace mechas that ambushed His Highness.

“Oh no!” The captain thought about something. His expression changed. Before he could say anything, a powerful beam flashed pa.s.sed his eyes. It split s.p.a.ce into two.

“Boom!” The c.o.c.kpit of the golden-haired young man’s mecha got hit. A huge explosion occurred.

The captain was stunned by what he saw. The three mecha operators who were fighting with Qi Qi Long, Zhao Jun, and Li Yingjie slowed down a little too.

Mistakes were not allowed in battles between ace mecha masters. People who were able to become ace mecha masters had good control skills and knew how to grab opportunities. They would not give up any opportunity to kill their opponents.

Under the torturous training of Ling Lan, Qi Long, Zhao Jun, and Li Yingjie were all amazing ace operators. There were significantly stronger than most ace operators so when they saw their opponents slowed down, they grabbed the opportunity immediately.

All three of them aimed their swords at their opponents and threw it at their distracted enemies. After gaining an advantage, they continued attacking furiously. If someone observed them carefully, they would be able to see that they were using the most powerful close combat skill, the mecha chain combo.

However, their captain couldn’t be bothered about them now. He operated his mecha and rushed towards the golden-haired young man’s mecha. He hoped that the young man was still alive. If not, they would be executed even if they went back.

The reality was cruel. The burnt and dented c.o.c.kpit told the captain that His Highness most likely didn’t survive. His eyes turned red as he screamed in anguish, “I will kill all of you.”

The furious captain took out his mega cannon from the back of his mecha and pulled its trigger instantly.

“Boom!”

A huge force came from the cannon. All the mechas within a hundred meters noticed an error in their systems. One of the mecha operators saw the cannon and got worried. “Magnetic burst energy.”

Magnetic burst energy could destroy anything within a certain range. All the defensive system in a mecha were useless against it, including their s.h.i.+elds. No mecha could survive if they got directly hit by the magnetic burst energy bullet. Even if they were not hit, mechas within a certain range would be sucked towards the bullet and get destroyed by it.

The magnetic energy could not be evaded like a beam shot. Mechas had to get out of its magnetic range in order to be safe. This was the frightening point of the magnetic burst energy. Ordinary mecha operators were not able to instantly fly out of the magnetic range. Magnetic burst bullets meant certain death to them.

The people on the Feiyang s.h.i.+p, including Meng Shangyuan, Mu Youyun, and Qian Jialin were astounded. They thought that the ace operator would not escape.

However, the past does not represent the future. If no one managed to do it before, it didn’t mean that no one could do it in the future.

When her opponent took out the cannon, Ling Lan felt a strong sense of danger. She immediately controlled her mecha and flew away.

Before the magnetic burst bullet was shot, Little Four encrypted the data about the weapon and showed Ling Lan the range of the magnetic field.

“This speed is too slow. I need to increase my speed.” Ling Lan’s fingers disappeared on the control panel. The engine of her mecha roared loudly and operated above its limit. She reached its maximum speed.

When the magnetic burst shot was fired, Ling Lan felt an energy sucking her mecha back. Her mecha slowed down a little.

Ling Lan turned back decisively and raised the beam gun in the mecha’s right hand. She aimed at the magnetic storm and fired a shot.

“Boom!”

The magnetic storm exploded. Huge magnetic energy was released into s.p.a.ce. The mechas from the Feiyang s.h.i.+p and the intergalactic pirates stopped fighting and immediately controlled their mechas to move away from the center of the attack. They didn’t want to die in the magnetic storm.

“F**k. The ace operator is a lunatic!” The mecha operators that managed to escaped, cursed Ling Lan. They calmed down their palpitating heart.

Because of this shot, the suction on Ling Lan’s mecha disappeared. Ling Lan activated her secondary engine and her mecha flew out like a beam of light.

Ling Lan knew that she only had a split second to make a decision. If she didn’t manage to get out of the magnetic field, she would still be sucked back. If she didn’t fire that shot, her engine would be unable to withstand the pressure and she would die. Hence, she decided to fire that shot and use the instant when the explosion occurred to escape. The force from the explosion would off-set the suction from the magnetic storm.

Time was not on her side. Ling Lan would die if she couldn’t escape within that split second. But, how could Ling Lan miss this opportunity? Without a doubt, she managed to escape.

Ling Lan stopped only after she confirmed that she was out of the magnetic field. She looked back. There used to be many ruins floating around but they were gone now. All the ruins within a kilometer had disappeared.

The captain was furious when he saw his opponent escaping from the magnetic burst shot. He gritted his teeth and threw the cannon away. He controlled his mecha and rushed towards his opponent.

The magnetic burst shot was extremely powerful but it could only be used once.

Ling Lan was a little frightened. She didn’t expect Caesar’s newest model mecha to be present. Even their magnetic burst cannon appeared. This was a weapon that was extremely expensive and couldn’t be ma.s.s produced. She almost died there. Seemed like she shouldn’t underestimate her opponents. No matter how ordinary they looked, they might be able to kill you.

Ling Lan thought about the newest model mecha and scanned her surroundings. The mecha was still floating in the air. It was not within the magnetic field so it remained unscathed. Ling Lan heaved a sigh of relief. Little Four rarely wanted something. She hoped that she could fulfill his wish.

The captain had reached the halfway mark when he felt a sense of danger. He immediately operated his mecha and dodged to the side. A beam flashed past his mecha.

“Despicable people from the Federation.” The captain glared at the mecha that sneak attacked him. Besides ambus.h.i.+ng, what else can they do?

That ace mecha failed its first attack and continued firing more shots without any hesitation. The captain didn’t have a chance to get near Ling Lan at all. By now, the captain knew his opponent’s motive. They didn’t want him to get near the ace mecha His Highness had operated.

“I will kill you and then, I will take revenge for His Highness.” The captain knew that if he didn’t kill that mecha, he would not be able to close in on his enemies. He rushed towards the ace mecha that ambushed him.

The ace operator saw the captain charging towards him and chose to stop shooting. He took out a sword from the back of his mecha and rushed towards his opponent. He wanted to start a close-range fight with him.

“You are looking for death!” How dare a balanced mecha fight with a close combat mecha in close range. This was a good chance for him. He would kill this balanced mecha and destroy the other balanced mecha later.

Ji Lu and Rui En regained their senses at that moment. Rui En continued firing shots at the special-cla.s.s mecha while Ji Lu raised his gun and aimed it at the balanced mecha which was flying towards their captain. This balanced mecha was the one who was fighting against him just now.

Before he could fire his shot, an alarm sounded in his c.o.c.kpit. He was locked in. Immediately, he moved his mecha and tried to evade the attack. However, he realized that no beam was shot at him. What happened?
