Chapter 70 Mistakes

Not long after, Chen Tong also activated his Flame Rider.

“Turn off all intelligent assistance systems,” Su Ming instructed Chen Tong.

“Understood,” Chen Tong nodded in response.

“Let’s go!” Su Ming led Chen Tong, running towards the nearest exit.

Soon after, Su Ming and Chen Tong, controlling their mechas, emerged from the large passage.

At this moment, the sounds of massive explosions continuously echoed from a distance.

“Over there!” Su Ming led Chen Tong, rushing towards the combat zone.

They quickly arrived at the outskirts of the combat zone.

At this time, Lin Chuyu and Li Fubai were locked in a fierce struggle with the Gun Knight, both enduring immense hardship. Not far away on the ground lay three destroyed Flame Riders.

As for Wu Bo and the others, they were being besieged by swarms of Iron Steeds and mechanical spiders; two of their five Flame Riders were already out of commission, and the remaining three were in dire straits, covered in scars.

“Haha, they’re finally getting what they deserve!” Chen Tong exclaimed excitedly, all the frustration in his heart instantly vanishing upon seeing Li Fubai and his group beaten so miserably.

Su Ming narrowed his eyes and said, “Chen Tong, it’s our turn.”

“Aren’t we waiting for them to all die before we go in?” Chen Tong asked, puzzled.

“I’m not confident I can take down that Gun Knight under the siege of so many Iron Steeds. Besides, Lin Chuyu is almost at her limit; we can’t just abandon her,” Su Ming explained simply.

“Hmph, he’s getting off easy,” Chen Tong said, though he was very displeased, he still agreed.

In the center of the combat zone, the Gun Knight deftly twirled the red metal spear in its hand, sweeping it sharply towards Lin Chuyu.

Lin Chuyu controlled her Flame Rider to lean back.

With a piercing whoosh, the red metal spear grazed past the Flame Rider’s face.

When its attack missed, the Gun Knight immediately spun around and kicked Lin Chuyu.

Lin Chuyu hastily raised her mechanical arm to block!

Bang!

The entire mecha was violently kicked away.

Li Fubai seized this opportunity, going full power and charging at an extreme speed from behind, swinging the red alloy blade in his hand, he struck at the Gun Knight.

At this moment, the Gun Knight elegantly spun its body again, raising the red metal spear in its hand to block.

Crack!

Amidst flying sparks, Li Fubai’s attack was firmly blocked.

The Gun Knight’s electronic eyes glowed red, and its spear pressed back against the red alloy blade that had just attacked.

Creak~

The arm joints of the Flame Rider controlled by Li Fubai creaked, emitting harsh, distorted sounds.

“Ah!” Li Fubai could only desperately push the power output to maximum, but even so, he couldn’t hold on, and his entire mecha slid backward.

Meanwhile, Lin Chuyu, who had been kicked away, struggled to control her mecha and looked up at the battle involving Li Fubai.

Seeing that Li Fubai was about to collapse, she forced herself to pull the control stick, making her damaged Flame Rider struggle to get back up.

Just then, a red figure rapidly cut into the combat zone, heading straight for the Gun Knight’s back.

Lin Chuyu was stunned, her face filled with shock, and she blurted out, “Gun Knight?”

Instantly, Su Ming, controlling his mecha, appeared behind the Gun Knight, raising the red metal spear in his hand and thrusting it forward with all his might!

At this moment, the Gun Knight, which was suppressing Li Fubai, had its electronic eyes glow red, sharply sensing danger. It instantly went full power, tapping its toes on the ground, and dodged with an extreme side-step.

Li Fubai was immediately startled; he saw a brand new Gun Knight charging directly at him, its red metal spear striking sharply.

In an instant, his handsome face showed expressions of shock and fear, and he cried out in despair, “No!”

He couldn’t understand why a second Third Generation Mecha·Gun Knight would appear.

At this moment, Su Ming not only didn’t stop, but instead went full power, thrusting his spear violently towards Li Fubai.

Crack!

The red metal spear pierced through the cockpit, impaling Li Fubai’s body.

Li Fubai instantly felt his entire world turn black and white, and he plummeted into endless darkness.

Lin Chuyu was also too stunned to speak when she saw this scene. Li Fubai had actually been killed by the suddenly appearing Gun Knight.

Wu Bo and the others turned their heads to see the sudden turn of events, each of them terrified to the extreme.

At this moment, Chen Tong, controlling his Flame Rider, rushed to Su Ming’s side. He was dumbfounded to see Su Ming take down Li Fubai with a single spear thrust and asked worriedly, “Su Ming, why did you kill him? Didn’t we say we couldn’t attack teammates?”

As soon as Chen Tong spoke, Lin Chuyu and the others were even more surprised; they hadn’t expected this Third Generation Mecha to be piloted by Su Ming.

Su Ming calmly withdrew the red metal spear and explained indifferently, “My apologies, it was a mistake. It’s my first time controlling a Third Generation Mecha, so I couldn’t control the force properly.”

After hearing Su Ming’s words, Chen Tong said worriedly, “Oh, I knew Third Generation Mechas were hard to control. I guess the examiner won’t blame you for a mistake, right?”

“Let’s not talk about this for now; focus on dealing with the enemy,” Su Ming said, controlling the Gun Knight mecha, he fluidly twirled the spear in his hand, pointing it with unparalleled momentum at the Gun Knight controlled by the AI.

Chen Tong looked at Su Ming so skillfully twirling the spear and was completely bewildered, not knowing what to say.

This is called not being good at controlling it for the first time? He’s already handling the spear incredibly well.

“Provide me with long-range fire support!” Su Ming simply told Chen Tong, then went full power, charging at the Gun Knight like a swift wind.

Facing the approaching Su Ming, the Gun Knight’s operating screen continuously displayed lines of warnings.

“Warning: Target extremely dangerous!”

“Hint: Activate combat mode!”

In an instant, the Gun Knight also went full power, rapidly moving to meet Su Ming; both simultaneously swung the red spears in their hands at each other.

Clang~

The two spears collided, and an invisible air shockwave spread out.

Hiss~

Su Ming quickly pulled back his red spear, sparks flying from the friction, then he controlled his mecha to turn, sweeping the red spear back.

The Gun Knight stomped its foot on the ground and leaped backward to create distance.

Seeing this, Su Ming’s eyes narrowed, and he rapidly entered a series of commands with extreme hand speed, pulling the control stick and pushing the propulsion output lever.

The entire mecha burst forward like a fierce beast, leaping up and powerfully striking at the Gun Knight with a spear.

The Gun Knight held its spear horizontally with both hands to block!

Boom!

The immense force of the impact caused the Gun Knight’s body to bend sharply, and the ground instantly cracked.

“Beautiful!” Chen Tong excitedly controlled his Flame Rider, raising its left arm’s concealed cannon and firing at the suppressed Gun Knight!

Seeing this, Lin Chuyu also controlled her mecha, firing at the Gun Knight from a distance.

Bang bang~

Dense barrages of bullets struck the Gun Knight, exploding and causing its body to shake violently.

However, the Gun Knight did not sit idly by; its electronic eyes glowed red again, erupting with powerful force, it forcefully pushed away Su Ming’s spear, and then swept its spear horizontally back at Su Ming.

Su Ming swiftly retreated to dodge.

The Gun Knight then raised its left arm’s concealed beam cannon, aiming it at Chen Tong, who was attacking it.

Su Ming was already very troublesome to deal with, and Chen Tong and Lin Chuyu were also harassing it, posing a serious threat to it.
