The power of that single strike was terrifying!
"Change tactics, prioritize destroying the rear energy support units!"
The Iron Guard AI quickly adjusted its strategy, increasing its firepower in an attempt to bypass the Iron Tripod and concentrate its attack on the area behind the force field where Coral was located.
But the coral reacted faster, transforming its force field into a barrier.
With a wave of her staff, the hemispherical force field suddenly bulged in front, forming a thick energy wall that focused more on frontal defense, firmly blocking all attacks aimed at her and Tie Che from the sides and rear.
At the same time, she focused her concentrated energy on maintaining the defense directly in front of the iron mace.
Iron Tripod, like a real rock, generates a devastating shockwave with every swing of its hammer, shattering and blasting away any nearby mechanical units.
His tower shield would occasionally shift, deflecting mechanical dogs that tried to flank him, or withstand bursts of pulse machine gun fire, remaining steadfast.
The battle reached a brief stalemate.
The Iron Guards and the Mechanical Legion were unable to break through this incredibly powerful defensive combination. While the Iron Giants and Coral were invincible in their defenses, they lacked effective long-range methods of large-scale destruction, making it difficult for them to quickly eliminate all the Iron Guards and Mechanical Black Hawks.
The battlefield transformed into a brutal clash between steel warriors and biological warriors, with sparks, energy fragments, metal debris, and the roar of shockwaves forming the main theme.
On one side are precise technological creations, and on the other is the combination of the power and unwavering will of awakened beings who have evolved to the extreme.
It remains to be seen who will persevere to the end.
……
Meanwhile, Mo Cheng blocked Steel Shark's path, and the two clashed. Erica also faced off against Broken Reef, resulting in a fierce battle. Ran Bing also confronted the Siren.
Steel Shark had just cleaved several city garrison soldiers in two with his massive, predatory chainsaw blades, the teeth still glistening with sticky, undried blood.
A gleeful smile appeared beneath his menacing shark-mouth mask, and his blood-red goggles scanned his surroundings, searching for the next target he could tear to shreds.
Berserk-like passion surged through Steel Shark's veins, and the desire for battle almost overwhelmed his reason.
Just then, a bright orange figure suddenly appeared from the side at an extremely fast speed, accompanied by the roar of an engine and the hissing of hydraulic lines.
"Hey, Big Fish Face, look this way."
Steel Shark suddenly turned its head, its blood-red visors staring at the newcomer.
It was a guy wearing a streamlined mecha suit, the color of which was as garish as those useless warning signs in a lighthouse.
"Another guy going to his death!"
Steel Shark said in a deep voice, his tone muffled by the mask, full of violence, "I will tear your armor off piece by piece and see if the flesh inside is just as tender."
Without a word, he swung his chainsaw sword forward with his left hand, and a grappling hook shot out from his wrist with a piercing sound, its barbs barbed as it reached for Mo Cheng's breastplate.
At the same time, Steel Shark exerted force with its feet, charging forward like a raging bull, dragging another roaring chainsaw sword, ready to deliver a fatal blow the moment the grappling hook hit.
The HUD interface under the helmet of the city of Mo Cheng flashed rapidly, locking onto the flying grappling hook and the charging steel shark.
"Target locked, rated as a high-threat melee unit, it is recommended to keep your distance." The AI's warning rang in my ears.
"Keep your distance? No, that suits me perfectly!"
Mo Cheng remained calm and composed, and his movements were swift and efficient.
Facing the incoming grappling hook, he did not dodge. Instead, he raised his right arm, and the nano-units on his arm armor rapidly flowed and deformed. The light blade arm armor popped out, and the high-frequency particle short blade was activated, emitting a dazzling blue light. Then he slashed forward!
"Qiang!"
Sparks fly!
The high-frequency particle blade collided violently with the alloy claw, severing the tip of the claw along with the chain attached to it.
The broken chains went limp like dead snakes.
"what?"
Steel Shark's charge faltered, surprised by the sharpness of the opponent's melee weapon.
But his berserk state made him almost stop, and instead, it enraged him.
"How dare you!!"
Enraged, Steel Shark wielded two chainsaw swords and pounced at an even more frenzied speed, the two high-speed spinning saw teeth tearing through the air as if to grind Ink City into mincemeat.
Chapter 99 Cutting out the roots
Mo Cheng remained calm and collected. The thrusters under his feet ignited instantly, and he glided backward while raising his arms.
Assault Mode!
The two guns in his hands quickly transformed and combined, turning into two futuristic-looking assault rifles in the blink of an eye, their muzzles intelligently locking onto the massive body of the Steel Shark.
“Da da da da da da!!”
The scorching fireballs poured out like a metal storm, instantly engulfing the steel shark.
With a terrifying rate of fire of 1800 rounds per minute, coupled with intelligent calibration, almost every shot accurately struck the Steel Shark's bio-armor.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
The bullet struck the Steel Shark's sleek yet exceptionally tough bio-armor, exploding into countless sparks and tiny fragments.
Most of the impacts were deflected, but the sheer volume of the impacts still caused Steel Shark's body to tremble violently, his charging momentum was abruptly halted, and he was forced to retreat continuously.
Some bullets pierced through relatively weak areas of the armor and penetrated his flesh, but the injuries only spurred Steel Shark to become even stronger.
"It's useless, it's useless, it's just tickling!"
Steel Shark charged forward through a hail of bullets, chainsaw sword in hand, advancing step by step with difficulty, the madness in his bloodshot eyes growing stronger.
The pain only fueled his rage, making his attacks even more ferocious.
Mo Cheng frowned: "Damn it, this guy is even more troublesome than a snake or a dog."
He noticed something was wrong with the other party, but their speed seemed to be slowed down by the suppressive fire.
"Then let's try a high-explosive bomb!"
He quickly adjusted the angle of the tactical shoulder cannon on his shoulder, and the muzzle flash focused.
"call out!"
A high-explosive shell shot out, leaving a trail of flame, and slammed straight into Steel Shark's face.
Steel Shark possesses an extremely strong fighting instinct. Sensing a deadly threat, it abruptly crossed its two chainsaw swords in front of its head while simultaneously curling its body up.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion completely engulfed his figure, and the flames and shockwave blasted him backward, sending him crashing into a pile of debris. His chainsaw sword also slipped from his hand, spinning and embedding itself in the steel deck in the distance.
"Hit the target."
Mo Cheng smiled slightly, his gun still pointed at the smoke and dust from the explosion.
However, the next second...
"Ahhhh!"
A non-human roar, filled with pain and extreme rage, came from the smoke and dust, like that of a wounded prehistoric shark.
Suddenly, a blood-red figure burst through the smoke and dust.
The Steel Shark was even more terrifying than before.
Although his bio-armor was severely damaged, revealing large areas of charred and frantically regenerating flesh, and even showing the stark white bones, the brightness of his blood-red visors soared, almost dripping blood.
The more severe the injury, the more his speed, strength, and momentum surged, deepening Steel Shark's berserk state.
However, his life force was also being depleted, and the power gained by consuming life essence could not be sustained for long.
He completely abandoned his defenses, rushed forward, pulled out the chainsaw blade, and lunged at Mo Cheng with a suicidal stance.
The speed was far greater than before.
"Oops!"
Mo Cheng's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately switched weapons.
The two guns instantly transformed and merged into a ruggedly designed heavy shotgun, which he then pulled the trigger sharply at the steel shark that pounced on him.
"boom!"
The immense recoil caused Mo Cheng to take a half-step back.
Countless projectiles, like a torrent of steel, slammed solidly into the Steel Shark's chest.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Steel Shark let out a painful groan as his chest was almost shattered, with bits of flesh and bone flying everywhere. But his momentum did not diminish. Relying on the terrifying willpower brought by his berserk state, he withstood the bombardment of the shotgun and grabbed the barrel of the Ink City shotgun with his huge claws.
"Gotcha, kid!"
Steel Shark roared and swung Mo Cheng, gun and all, up into the air, slamming him hard into the ground.
boom!
Mo Cheng was dazed and confused by the impact. His energy shield flickered violently, and his nanosuit issued an overload warning. The opponent's power was too strong, and he had no chance of winning in close combat.
However, he was experienced in combat. The moment he was slammed to the ground, the light blade gauntlet on his left arm popped out again, swiftly stabbing towards the arm that Steel Shark was gripping his gun barrel with.
"Hey!"
The high-frequency particle blade sliced through the steel shark's arm armor, embedding itself deeply into its flesh and even bone.
Steel Shark winced in pain, letting out a muffled groan but refusing to let go. Instead, it raised its large foot, its knee covered in heavy armor, and slammed it into Mo Cheng's face.
Mo Cheng reacted quickly, raising his other arm to block.
"Oh!"
A tremendous force surged through him, and Mo Cheng felt his arm go numb.
The two instantly grappled and engaged in the most dangerous close-quarters combat.
Mo Cheng struggled desperately, slashing at Steel Shark's body with his light blade, creating deep wounds that exposed bone. But Steel Shark seemed to have lost all sense of pain, and his attacks became increasingly frenzied. He rammed his head against Steel Shark, bit it (against the mask), and even tore Mo Cheng apart in the most primal way.
"Die! Die! Die!" Steel Shark roared like a wild beast.
"It's you that damn it!"
Mo Cheng was also enraged and was determined to kill this guy, even at the cost of half his life.
