#141 - Chapter 141 Qi Jing was defeated?
"Now, please enjoy the first aerial battle of this grand competition!"
The host's excited voice pulled back the audience members who were drifting off.
"I didn't expect you could fly too."
Gao Qi's voice came from inside the mecha.
Qi Jing hovered in the air, getting used to the feeling of flying.
"By the way, why don't you use that big sword that looks so powerful?"
"I just wanted to test your strength first; I didn't expect you to be so strong."
In fact, Gao Qi initially wanted to use the "Chlorophyll Laser Cannon" to instantly kill Qi Jing, blasting him into smithereens, and witness the legendary time-reversal device.
But she really didn't expect Qi Jing to be able to dodge even the laser cannon.
Although her Chlorophyll Laser Cannon has tremendous power, each release requires a long charging time, and each release will cause the mecha to pause for a while.
So, she could only release machine gun fire to stop Qi Jing from approaching.
She guessed that Qi Jing's approach would be very detrimental to her, and sure enough, in one exchange, he chopped off one of her mecha's legs.
Fortunately, she flew into the air.
While studying Qi Jing's matches frame by frame, she discovered that Qi Jing's speed relied entirely on his feet, not on his supernatural power.
So, she formulated such a tactic.
First, cripple his pet with tracking missiles to lure him to attack, then seize the opportunity to give him a blast to finish him off.
If he had any trump cards to dodge it, she would ascend into the air and kite him from a distance.
(Note: Kiting—a game term that refers to using movement speed advantage to efficiently attack an opponent while ensuring you don't get attacked, ultimately killing the enemy.)
Unfortunately, after all the calculations, she didn't expect him to be able to fly as well.
He could absorb all her shells into space, and the only Chlorophyll Laser Cannon that could hit him from a distance required a long time to charge, so she could only engage in close-quarters aerial combat with him.
Qi Jing also didn't want to engage in aerial combat, mainly because his lightness skill couldn't be used in the air.
But fortunately, it was a good opportunity to test his aerial combat abilities.
"Come on!"
Qi Jing took the lead, waving his two-meter-long umbrella sword and charging towards the Chlorophyll Mecha.
Facing the bullets fired at him, Qi Jing didn't dodge or evade but continued to casually wave a few times, collecting those bullets into his space.
"Next time, I'll definitely replace the bullet gun with a laser gun!" Gao Qi said angrily.
"You won't have a next time."
Qi Jing directly slashed at the cockpit, but Gao Qi's greatsword blocked it.
Not only that, but after blocking this attack, Gao Qi's greatsword flung out forcefully, sending Qi Jing flying.
Qi Jing, who stabilized himself in the air, looked back at Gao Qi.
This greatsword is quite hard; it was only scratched by his umbrella sword.
This kind of battle is more interesting.
"There's no point of leverage in the air; no matter how strong you are, you can't exert it."
"Thanks for the reminder."
Qi Jing flew back to the mecha again. This time, he didn't take the initiative to attack but relied on Observation Haki to continuously dodge Gao Qi's attacks.
Gao Qi wielded the heavy sword. The sword wind was fierce, the force was full, and each attack was as fierce as thunder.
Although the giant sword in the mecha's hand could send Qi Jing flying because of its weight, her sword-wielding speed was still too slow for Qi Jing.
Although it wasn't as fast as when he was on land, Observation Haki could completely predict her every action.
While dodging, Qi Jing continuously slashed at the mecha's right arm with his umbrella sword.
His goal was to first disable the greatsword and then insert it into the cockpit in one go.
The fierce offensive forced Gao Qi to defend continuously.
The sound of two blades colliding mixed with the whistling sound of cutting through the air, allowing Qi Jing to feel the charm of close combat.
His adrenaline also soared at this moment.
This kind of battle that completely releases one's own power is indeed addictive.
In an instant, the audience outside saw a person actually suppressing a mecha three times his height, and for a moment, they couldn't tell who was the stronger party.
The two fought from the left to the right, from ten meters high to more than forty meters high.
The brief twenty-second exchange had already broken a two-finger-deep gash in the mecha's greatsword.
Qi Jing felt that his swordsmanship was about to reach completion; even without Observation Haki, he could still fight back and forth.
Gao Qi saw that close combat was not Qi Jing's opponent, so she increased the flight power of her wings to the maximum, wanting to create distance.
It has to be said that this method is very effective for Qi Jing. The speed of the Scale Demon Wings is indeed not as fast as the mecha's. He definitely can't catch up.
If this were in the outside sky, Qi Jing was afraid that he would never be able to catch up with her if she wanted to get away, but this is the arena.
Qi Jing stepped on the protective shield with a height limit of fifty meters and used the reaction force to rush straight towards Gao Qi's wings.
Want to run? How could that be allowed!
Since you don't want to fight head-on, then don't fly!
Qi Jing's unexpected sprint caught her off guard. She didn't have any resistance and had one of her wings chopped off, forcing her to fall from the air.
Qi Jing also put away his wings.
Now that he's back on land, he should cut off all four limbs of this mecha first and then let her surrender!
At this time, Qi Jing was already immersed in the desire for battle, wanting to slowly dismember the mecha opposite him.
Battle! Awesome!
Qi Jing abandoned his usual steady approach and charged straight towards the mecha.
Gao Qi grabbed the severed wing and threw it at Qi Jing.
Qi Jing just flashed slightly to the left and dodged it.
That's it?
Clumsy sneak attack, just obediently fight me head-on.
He continued to trot unhurriedly forward.
Even at this moment, he hadn't used his full speed; he just wanted to fight a little longer.
Just as he was about to approach the mecha, his body suddenly felt a chill.
Spider-Sense!
Danger!
He subconsciously used Observation Haki to check his surroundings but found that he couldn't see anything, not even the mecha right in front of him.
What's going on?
Where's my Observation Haki?
While Qi Jing was stunned, an explosion came from behind him.
Boom!
Qi Jing's figure was engulfed in the exploding green smoke.
All of this was Gao Qi's plan. Her King of Machines has two skills: one is to control the machines she touches. Even if it's detached from her body, she can use her mental power to control it for a while longer, and the second is to make the machines she controls self-destruct using all their energy.
Those tracking missiles were not missiles with tracking chips installed but were flying entirely by her will.
The wing she threw earlier was dodged by Qi Jing and then remotely controlled by her to return.
She thought that Qi Jing could foresee this move. After all, he could dodge every one of her attacks like a prophet.
She didn't expect him to not dodge or evade but to be directly blown up.
Victory came so suddenly that Gao Qi couldn't believe it.
She was clearly being suppressed just now, so why did he start giving away kills?
That's right, did the host announce the end of the match?
Just as she looked up towards the high platform where the host was, a voice came from her ear:
"The match is over."
