Chapter 145 Pirate Biggie VS General Sharp

Sharp stood not more than ten meters away from Biggie with an arrogant demeanor. There was no hiding the desire in his heart, his eyes were filled with an eagerness for a fight. His voice, however, remained calm and there was no sign of excitement in his tone. “Let me take this, Emily.” Emily had thought it was the end for her. She gave Biggie, who was not far off, a defeated look. This fight had made her realized that she was no match for Biggie. She might not know much about swords, but she could sense the murderous rage hidden within Biggie's sword. That alone was enough to chill one to the bone. She could tell that Sharp had decided to step into the fight because he could sense the sword's power.

She backed away in a burst and disappeared from everyone's sight in a few leaps, completely retreating from the battlefield.

Biggie did not give chase because he knew Sharp would attack the moment he tried.

“Male Korazan Gorilla…” Biggie mumbled. Sharp was no longer a human being in Biggie's eyes, instead, he was now a male Korazan Gorilla. His perception had changed due to the influence of Liliaths' hypnotism on his mind.

Biggie had no fear as long as the opponent was not a human being. He furiously attacked, and the sword in his hand, Darkness, shot out several dark blades at his opponent.

There was no longer a sword in Sharp's hand, but that did not mean he was any weaker. In actuality, he was stronger when he fought with his fists rather than a sword due to his gene-level being upgraded at the same time as the cultivation of his swordsmanship. The day he lost the sword in his hand, was the day he got the closest to the roots of swordsmanship. It was on this day that he achieved a greater understanding than he did in the years before. Spending a day in deep though had cleansed his heart thoroughly, clearing the clutter in his mind. In fact, several military matters he had always regarded with high value were now of little to no importance to him. There was nothing that could replace swordsmanship in his eyes. It was only then that he finally understood why Vannarab would resign from his post as the Army's marshal to join the Liberty Alliance.

“Let this be my last mission…” Sharp had made his decision. After his mission today, he would resign from his post as the Navy general.

Biggie had attacked him while he was distracted by his thoughts.

Biggie's attack was sudden and vicious, charging at him at from a compromising angle. The attack point was lethal. Sharp's eyes lit up. Biggie's swordsmanship was completely different from his own, which was the Path of Slaughter. He could tell from Biggie's a.s.sertive manner that many had died at his hands.

Sharp's sword was still lying in Bart's inventory. His primary power gathered within his palm and a cloud of white sword energy extended outward, clashing itself with Biggie's dark sword energy.

Both sword energies ruptured upon impact and they both instantly dashed away, avoiding the lethal energy that was released from the explosion.

They lunged back at each other at almost the same time even before the energy from the first attack fully dispersed, clashing hard once again with one another…

Gu Ding could no longer see the fight between Biggie and Sharp through the video with his naked eyes. He could vaguely make out two shadowy figures lunging at each other before immediately pulling back only to go back at it again. This resulted in a horrifying effect of explosions that sounded akin to a storm, with thunderous booms filling the atmosphere.

“Such power…” A few Interstellar Pirates witnessing the fight through Gu Ding's projected video could not help voicing their shock at the spectacle. This was a fight that had far exceeded any of their capabilities. Gu Ding was also quite surprised to see Biggie and Sharp on par with each other. Sharp was something of a legend and the extent of his power was G.o.dlike. Gu Ding had witnessed it earlier on Constlac. He knew Biggie was strong too, but he had not expected Biggie's strength to be of this degree.

However, Sharp's appearance did not only mean that Biggie would meet a strong opponent, but this also meant that Emily, the other Army general, was now free to wreak havoc on Interstellar Pirates somewhere else.

Gu Ding got Neptune to search everywhere for signs of Emily and finally located her where the mechs were kept. She had taken some medication out and injected over twenty mech operators on the arm with it in one go. Not long after, some mech operators woke up from their drunken stupor. The medication was a sobering antidote that could convert the alcohol in the bloodstream into glucose.

“Get into your mechs and stop those Interstellar Pirates from continuing their slaughter. I'll join you immediately after!” Emily patted one of them on the shoulder.

That group which consisted of over twenty mech operators were well-trained army men. They got into their mechs quickly and rushed into battle.

Some of those who had been caught previously had witnessed the power of the mechs and they were still fearful of them. Their attacks were useless against those mechs while the mechs wielded the power and combat effectiveness of a Rank 8 gene body in its prime.

“Gu Ding, those mechs pose a huge problem. Besides Biggie, none of us here can break through the mechs defenses. Some of our gunners have tried attacking them earlier, but there wasn't much effect. These mechs were built with a special compound metal that makes them immune to gunshots,” Ralph had reservations as he had witnessed the mechs' power earlier that morning. “I'll take care of the mechs,” Gu Ding looked calm.

He turned toward Bart. “Bart, will you be able to stall Emily for us if she appears?”

“That won't be a problem. Even though it would be difficult to overpower her, but I should be able to hold her off,” Bart had gotten his chain back. He knew that the Army was wary of him ever since he defeated Sharp. They won't be falling for his tricks again. Besides, this was an open area so he couldn't set up another trap similar to the one he used on Sharp.

Bart's answer had eliminated Gu Ding's concern and he proceeded to take his black mech out of the inventory.

Everyone was envious when they saw Gu Ding owned a mech. They finally understood why Gu Ding said that he would take care of those mechs. This was because besides possessing immense power, only a mech was able to damage another mech.

Gu Ding moved his hands and feet after getting into the mech to refamiliarize himself with the mech's operation. He gave a jump and headed toward the enemy group of mechs. The Army mech operators immediately recognized the incoming threat when they saw a non-standard black mech running toward them. However, Gu Ding's mech did not intimidate them much as his mech was no taller than three meters. Mechs such as this were usually made for agile movements and did not have much in the defense department.

The Army mechs were huge and at least four meters tall. They were specifically designed by the Army to excel in both attack and defense.

However, it did not take long before these operators realized how wrong their initial a.n.a.lysis was. Gu Ding had rushed into the group of mechs and evade several mech attacks easily and with grace. He instantly appeared out of nowhere next to a mech and gave it a hard slam on the waist with his elbows.

The mech's waist was badly dented inward and the operator realized immediately that his air displacer had stopped working. Gu Ding's had made a precise attack, targeting the motor of the air displacer. With Neptune's help, he was able to see the insides of all the other mechs, gaining a clear understanding of every mechanical part and its usage.

The loss of the air displacer gave the operator only about five minutes' worth of oxygen within the mech. This would force the operator to abandon his mech.

Gu Ding did not choose to fight this battle in a violently destructive manner as it would exhaust too much energy. There were more than twenty mechs after all. He had to use the simplest, most efficient way to end the fight.

Just as Gu Ding expected, the operator from the attacked mech had frantically opened up the hatch to climb out of it.

Gu Ding ignored him and dashed toward the second mech.

This time, he targeted the wiring behind the opponent's head. These wirings were similar to the human brain and were used to transmit information throughout the machine. Once it was destroyed, the mech will lose control and even disable itself as a failsafe.

Gu Ding's agility gave him a huge edge in this fight. Even though the mech operators were capable fighters, their combat technique was pretty much at a toddler's level compared to Gu Ding, who was trained in the Ultimate Arts.

After dispatching a few mechs in a flash, he moved behind another mech and gave it a heavy hit right at the back of the head. The wiring at the back of the mech's head immediately burned and the mech entered an uncontrollable state due to its malfunctioning.

Gu Ding showed no signs of slowing down, after taking down that mech he was immediately onto the next. This time, he aimed for the opponent's energy tank located at the chest. It was where the mech's Energy Crystal rock was, which was used as the mech's power source. There was a layer of a metal compound plate covering the energy tank. It would be near-impossible for an ordinary person to penetrate the layer, which was strong enough to withstand an attack from a powerhouse with a hundred thousand points worth of Cell Index. However, Gu Ding's mech was able to enhance his basic attack effectiveness to ten thousand points. Besides that, it had also enhanced his Ultimate Arts Level 7 by ten times and a berserker conversion of three times the rate, making his attack effectiveness equivalent to that of a powerhouse with three hundred thousand Cell Index points. His mech had been built with a stronger metal compound and it was not difficult to crush the layer of his opponent's compound layer, especially with his strength.

He dodged some attacks by a few mechs, and Gu Ding appeared like a phantom in front of his target. A soft crack could be heard within the layer of the compound metal when he punched forcefully onto the metal compound on his opponent's chest. It was the sound of the Energy Crystal rock breaking apart. This mech had been completely paralyzed as a result.

Ralph and the others watched incredulously as they witnessed Gu Ding take down three mechs with ease in the span of three minutes. Even Bart was visibly shocked as he did everything in his power only to fall at the hands of the mech in their previous encounter

Gu Ding's fight continued while Biggie and Sharp were still battling it out in a rage. The wildcard-Emily appeared once again, but this time, she was not alone. She had three colonel generals and four lieutenant generals with her. The party of eight were speeding toward where Gu Ding's fight was.

For the Army, this was a powerful addition to the ongoing fight…
