Chapter 1278 - 1276: Attack
"My grand formation has already been set up. Who wants to check it out tonight?"
"Lin Feng, won’t it be dangerous for us to go?"
"With me around, there won’t be any danger. However, you all need to stay quietly in one spot and try your best not to get recognized."
"Lin Feng, can I come and take a look tonight as well?"
"Of course you can. It’ll be good for you to witness and understand what a genuine cultivator truly is."
"Lin Feng, how are you planning things for tonight?"
"I haven’t planned to get involved personally tonight. The task will be handed to you all. If you can toy with them to death, even better. Senior sister, get those five secret bases handled. No matter what excuse is used, as soon as a fight breaks out here, blow them up over there."
"Understood, junior brother. Leave it to me."
...
Afterward, Lin Feng began arranging the follow-up plans. The Old Monster and the others would inevitably take action, and the five secret bases that had been identified would have to be destroyed. The net was already set—just waiting for the big fish, the Locke Family, to get caught...
......
The night in Tianhai glittered with countless lights, making the entire city look like a sea of illumination. The bustling sound of the city was on full display.
No one noticed that, at this moment, one to two hundred mecha were silently flying into the sky. They were led by Edward and his Mecha Legion, choosing to approach Tianhai from the coast to avoid alarming anyone, heading straight toward Yingbo University!
At the forefront was Edward, piloting his own mecha. This mecha was the strongest model among them all—the God Slayer. Compared to the others, it was not just a little larger; its entire body was angular and imposing. While the other mecha were black, this one bore a dark red hue. One glance was enough to tell it was no ordinary machine.
Currently, Edward sat comfortably inside the God Slayer Mech, a smug grin ever-present on his face. This time, he had brought along 120 Executioner Mecha, 60 Assault Mecha, plus his own God Slayer Mech. With such a formidable force, eliminating a cultivator was childsplay. They had enough firepower to take on an entire nation.
However, even Edward had his frustrations. While mecha could be mass-produced, skilled pilots couldn’t be trained quickly. The 180 pilots he brought represented the entirety of the Locke Family’s manpower in this regard. They couldn’t afford any casualties. If the Locke Family could field 1,000 or 800 more pilots, why would Edward have had to bide his time until now?
The vast shadow of the mecha fleet loomed in the sky, like a dark cloud blotting out the moonlight as they stealthily advanced toward Yingbo University...
"They’re coming. Jianping, head over and lead them here," Lin Feng, seated halfway up the mountain playing chess with the Old Monster, suddenly said something seemingly out of context. He had already detected Edward leading a sizable fleet of mecha toward Tianhai. It seemed his guess was spot on—they had indeed invested heavily in this attack.
"Yes, Teacher Lin!" At the foot of the mountain, Xia Jianwu immediately responded to Lin Feng’s instructions. Taking out the flying sword Dharma Treasure that Lin Feng had given him earlier in the afternoon, he leaped onto it and, propelled by Gang Qi, streaked across the sky like a radiant arc, disappearing in an instant...
"Lin Feng, how many people are coming this time?"
"181 in total. Quite a large number!"
"Jack, do you know how many mecha they brought?"
"That, I’m not sure. But one thing is clear—the pilots are hard to train. This number likely represents the entirety of the Locke Family’s resources."
"Which model is the black one that looks very different from the rest?"
"The black one? That’s the God Slayer! It looks like Edward has truly gone mad, even bringing the God Slayer along!"
"The God Slayer? Is it really that impressive?"
"More than just impressive. That near-perfect mecha—there’s only one in existence. The manufacturing cost was far too high!"
...
After handling Xia Jianping’s mission, Lin Feng casually chatted with the Old Monster and Jack. Through their conversation, Lin Feng gained a rough understanding of the distinctions between mecha models: God Slayer, Executioner, Assault, and so on. According to Jack, the God Slayer was the most powerful type, its strength beyond imagination. This piqued the curiosity of both Lin Feng and the Old Monster, making them eager to see just how formidable the God Slayer Mech could be.
Before Edward’s fleet reached Yingbo University, a sudden arc of light appeared in the distance. Xia Jianping, standing atop a flying sword, appeared in their line of sight, leaving Edward and his men utterly stunned. They could not comprehend how Xia Jianping—a mere child—was able to stand on a sword and fly. The scene was completely baffling!
Staring at Xia Jianping, Edward and his soldiers were at a loss for words. Not even in their wildest dreams did they imagine that flying swords truly existed in this world. The sight shattered their understanding of reality. How was Liao Chen flying? It was utterly unscientific, lacking any logical explanation!
Mecha could fly because they had propulsion systems and an energy source. But that flying sword? It was just a plain piece of metal. How could it possibly carry a person? If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn’t have believed such a feat was humanly possible. And to top it off, it was a child doing it. They were beyond shaken.
"Are you one of Lin Feng’s people?" Edward came to a stop midair, glaring at Xia Jianping and asking skeptically. The child before him was clearly a cultivator, and given that he had appeared here, Edward assumed he must be one of Lin Feng’s allies. He wanted to confirm the boy’s intentions.
"Teacher asked me to lead you over there." Xia Jianping, seeing mecha for the first time, couldn’t help but feel curious about these technological marvels. However, since they were enemies, he spoke indifferently. After saying this, he controlled his flying sword, heading in Lin Feng’s direction without delay.
Edward watched the boy on the flying sword as he disappeared into the distance, feeling utterly speechless. He had never heard of cultivators being able to fly, and now that he’d witnessed it for the first time, he was even more intrigued by Lin Feng. Just how powerful was Lin Feng?
"Follow him!"
Clearing his mind of other thoughts, Edward gave the command and immediately led the fleet of mecha after Xia Jianping. Regardless of how powerful Lin Feng might be, he was destined to die tonight. With so many mecha at his command, there was no way Lin Feng—or any reinforcements—could possibly withstand them!
Thus, the fleet of mecha followed behind Xia Jianping and soon arrived at the area where Lin Feng had set up his formation. The journey went without a hitch. Xia Jianping led the mecha near Lin Feng’s position and, seeing they were in place, quickly left on his flying sword.
Meanwhile, Jack caught sight of Xia Jianping soaring through the air on his sword and was so stunned his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. A child who could fly on a sword—what kind of monstrous abilities did these people possess? If a child could pull off such feats, what would the true masters be capable of?
After Xia Jianping departed, Edward immediately began searching for Lin Feng’s location. His gaze fell upon a smooth, open area halfway up the mountain. There, at a small table, Lin Feng was casually sipping tea with a few elderly men, with Jack seated nearby!
Tea? Drinking tea?
Seeing Lin Feng calmly drinking tea with some elderly folks, Edward was so furious he almost coughed up blood. Was Lin Feng so confident—or arrogant—as to sit idly drinking tea, not treating his mighty Mecha Legion seriously? Even now, he had the leisure to relax! What kind of joke was this?
"Lin Feng, I didn’t expect you to still have the mood to drink tea. Do you truly believe you can handle my mecha?" Edward, floating midair in his God Slayer Mech, glared down at Lin Feng in anger. He had expected Lin Feng to panic at the sight of his fleet. Instead, Lin Feng appeared utterly at ease—completely dismissing Edward and his mecha from consideration!
The other mecha pilots also hovered midair, staring down at Lin Feng and his tea-sipping companions. None of them could understand why Lin Feng remained so calm in the face of such overwhelming power. It was truly bizarre!
"It’s just a bunch of tin cans. Nothing to fuss about. I thought you’d arrive earlier, but I see you’ve taken your sweet time," Lin Feng said nonchalantly, his gaze falling on the imposing God Slayer Mech. He had already deduced that Edward was the pilot. But frankly, it didn’t seem like much to him.
"Tin cans?! You’re the first person to ever call them that! Lin Feng, last time, I didn’t have my mecha with me, and you ambushed me. But this time, I’d love to see how you plan to pull that off again! In fact, I brought these mecha here precisely to end you. I suggest you don’t resist. The power of my mecha is beyond your comprehension!" Edward sneered arrogantly. He had reason to be smug—this fleet could take on even gods, let alone one measly cultivator like Lin Feng.
To Edward, Lin Feng’s remarks bordered on insanity. No sane person could dismiss these mecha so easily. Even a hundred Lin Fengs would be no match. Anyone else in Lin Feng’s position would have trembled before such overwhelming force. Surely, Lin Feng was merely putting on a brave front.
"You’ve pinned so much confidence on these so-called mecha, thinking they can defeat me? Do you truly believe they’re capable of that?" Lin Feng let out a chuckle, his tone indifferent. Relying on these mecha to challenge him—now that was the greatest joke he’d ever heard.
Lin Feng’s words were spoken with complete honesty, but to Edward, they sounded like sheer arrogance. In his ears, Lin Feng wasn’t just underestimating the mecha—he was outright insulting their power. Furious, Edward’s face twisted with rage!
