Although Xiao Yiqiu agreed with Su Pei, he still reminded him, "Although that person hadn"t killed anyone before, anything could still happen in a tournament. You should still be careful.""I know. If there isn"t any hope of winning, I will just give up." Compared to Xiao Yiqiu"s unwillingness to give up, Su Pei was clearly much smarter during certain situations. Once he knew that something wouldn"t go his way, he wouldn"t force it.
Soon, it was time for Su Pei to enter the arena. Xiao Yiqiu watched as Su Pei piloted his mecha and entered the arena. Xiao Yiqiu slowly formed a mocking sneer on his face. Suddenly his smile froze, then his face began twisting in pain. He only began to return to his original expression after a long while.
"Sh*t. Why is it every time I want to get rid of Su Pei, this body would react negatively and refuse to do so? What"s wrong? Does the head not control the emotions?" Xiao Yiqiu held his aching head and thought with confusion.
Suddenly he remembered that Xiao Yiqiu had the innate talent, Bloodline Energy. Was it because of this that he was suffering from frequent headaches? Xiao Yiqiu smiled bitterly. Although he received a strong and rare bloodline innate talent, there was also a lot of trauma that came with it. Was this the price he had to pay for this innate talent?
However, this trauma will soon be resolved! Xiao Yiqiu looked at Su Pei, who was in the arena, with a coldness in his eyes. Every time his emotions were to fluctuate, it would be because of this person. As long as he kills of the root of the problem, he would be able to completely control this body.
Seeing Su Pei walk into the arena, Mu Chaoran"s eyes were fixated on him. He originally hoped that he would face someone who was violent and easy to kill, that way he wouldn"t feel too much guilt. However, the opponent standing in front of him was not that type of person. Mu Chaoran had seen how Su Pei fought before, and it showed that he was just a newbie. However, Su Pei"s piloting talents were quite okay for this tournament, but getting this far was because he got lucky… too lucky. He didn"t face off against those merciless and bloodthirsty opponents and managed to get past the first 10 days of the tournament. He quickly developed into a qualified ace operator after the past ten days.
This person was probably a newcomer that a faction wanted to nurture… Mu Chaoran narrowed his eyes and thought about why that Young Master Rong wanted to kill this person?
Did that faction want this person to develop into someone that opposes the Flying Dragon Special Forces? Or perhaps there is a deeper meaning? Mu Chaoran began to be on guard. He decided to see first and then decide whether he should kill his opponent or not.
Su Pei knew that Dark Flame was very strong. It could be said that out of all the contestants who partic.i.p.ated, Dark Flame was considered to be in the top 10 and was clearly stronger than him. If was just as what Su Pei had said to Xiao Yiqiu, when he knew that his next opponent was Dark Flame, he didn"t think he had any chance of winning. However, to be able to battle with one of the strongest mecha operators in the tournament made Su Pei feel excited. He wanted to know just how much of a gap there was between him and these top mecha operators.
Thus, Su Pei used the tactic of timing his attacks at the very beginning!
Su Pei went around him with great agility and made a move when he saw an opening. If the attack didn"t hit, he would back up quickly. Mu Chaoran nodded in admiration at his way of fighting him. It was indeed the smartest way for a weaker person to fight against a stronger person.
If a mecha operator wanted to end the battle quickly, they might become frustrated from Su Pei"s sticky-candy like fighting style. However, Mu Chaoran wanted to watch for a bit. His opponent"s fighting style was exactly what he wanted. He calmly played around with his opponent and didn"t show that he was going to force an attack.
Just like that, a slow mecha battle had begun. After ten minutes, the two of them had only gone a few rounds. This made many gamblers yawn in boredom. Some even began to boo at them as they were not happy with how slow the two of them were fighting.
The warning sound echoed in the arena. This meant the two of them weren"t allowed to continue fighting in that way.
Su Pei heard the warning sound and sighed. He knew that he couldn"t wait anymore. He quickly piloted his mecha and pounced towards the still calm Dark Flame.
"Bang!" A large sword easily blocked Su Pei"s sudden attack. Mu Chaoran originally thought his opponent would retreat again, but didn"t think that after seeing he had no chance to win, Su Pei would put forth all of his strength and attacked him with a flurry of attacks.
Despite Su Pei"s actions being a bit sudden, Mu Chaoran was still after all a pseudo imperial operator whose finger speeds surpa.s.sed the limits of an ace operator. A chain of speedy finger movements allowed him to block Su Pei"s flurry of attacks smoothly.
Su Pei bit his lip in frustration when he saw all of his attacks were blocked easily. He then decided to use his last ultimate technique. If this technique got blocked by his opponent again, then he would surrender thereafter.
On the back of Su Pei"s mecha, a beam saber suddenly got ejected out. Su Pei"s mecha"s left hand quickly grabbed onto it and sliced towards Mu Chaoran"s c.o.c.kpit that was on the shoulder area. The beam saber on his right hand was going from the bottom up, performing an uppercut towards Mu Chaoran"s c.o.c.kpit as well.
"Cross Chop!" This was a technique specially designed for ambidextrous mecha operators who could split apart their piloting ability and wield weapons in both hands.
Mu Chaoran"s eyes narrowed and his finger speed increased even further. His hands were no longer visible in the c.o.c.kpit.
"Bang, Bang!" Two crashing sounds were almost simultaneously heard.
Su Pei looked at his opponent with a stunned expression on his face, "How"s that possible?!"
The mecha that Mu Chaoran was piloting was in a similar position as Su Pei"s mecha. It held a large sword in each hand and performed a Cross Chop to perfectly block Su Pei"s attack.
"Kill him!" Mu Chaoran had managed to avert the crisis. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the elder"s cold voice echoed in his c.o.c.kpit.
It was Mai"er Fa"s people reminding him what he should do…
Mu Chaoran had a complicated expression for a moment. Then, the large sword on his left hand stabbed into Su Pei"s c.o.c.kpit without any hesitation.
"Shoo!" The large sword easily pierced through the c.o.c.kpit. Mu Chaoran actually didn"t feel anything blocking the sword. His expression instantly changed. Before anyone could discover his movements, the arm wielding the sword hilt changed the sword"s direction slightly and diagonally sliced into c.o.c.kpit towards the left in an instant.
Su Pei saw the large sword pierce his c.o.c.kpit and then the right side of his body. Then through his c.o.c.kpit once again…
Just then, he was about to surrender. However, Dark Flame, who usually never goes for the kill, actually didn"t hesitate and went for it. This made him unable to have a chance to surrender!
Was this the end of his road? Su Pei actually wasn"t afraid of death. He only regretted that he couldn"t keep the promise he made with Xiao Yiqiu to return together and go with him to apply to the Flying Dragon Special Forces, then become comrades-in-arms.
"There"s many things that I wanted to do. So unfortunate… Yiqiu, I"ve disappointed you!" Su Pei held his abdomen as his blood gushed out. As his body started to turn cold, he slowly closed his eyes.
Xiao Yiqiu saw Su Pei get stabbed. Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, his heart began to ache. In his mind images of the time he and Su Pei spent together began to emerge. Although he wasn"t the real Xiao Yiqiu, he still felt all the good Su Pei has done for Xiao Yiqiu…
